Have you any interest in lithium-6 specifically ,the below studies are the only info I can find on it,it would be inetresting to test lithium- 6 and see its effects on thyroid.
Either way it's seems like a potent and quick tool for correction.
The delays in development may not be a negative,delayed puberty possibly being good as Peat mentioned before?
He mentioned lithium in a recent newsletter again.
Aberrant parenting and delayed offspring development in rats exposed to lithium. - PubMed - NCBI
"Natural lithium (Li) salts, including those used routinely in manic depressive illness, consist of two stable nonradioactive isotopes: lithium-7 (Li-7) (92.6%) and lithium-6 (Li-6) (7.4%). Female rats (3 months old) were treated with either Li-7 chloride or Li-6 chloride or were untreated prior to and during gestation and lactation. Birth weights were lower for Li-treated animals than for normal pups. Maternal behavior of all Li-treated mothers was altered. Li-7 mothers ignored their pups and nursed them infrequently. Li-6 mothers groomed and nursed their pups more often than normal mothers. All pups showed delays in development, especially in the maturation of depth perception. Although Li-6-treated dams were over-protective mothers, their offspring showed longer developmental delays than those of Li-7-treated offspring".

Abstract
"Lithium is effective in the treatment of mania. There are two naturally occurring stable lithium isotopes, Li-7 (92.6%) and Li-6 (7.4%). Usually there is little differentiation between isotopes of an element, but chemical and behavioural data suggest dissimilarities exist between lithium isotopes. Results are now reported indicating that a group of manic patients given lithium chloride were able to differentiate Li-6 from Li-7 at the membrane level. Blood samples were drawn, erythrocytes separated from plasma and the isotopic abundances of Li-6 and Li-7 determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The ratio of abundances of Li-6 in the erythrocyte and plasma was 1.274 indicating the erythrocyte membrane had the in vivo capability of isotope fractionation".
