 **Due to slow renal clearing, lithium toxicity may occur when taking Benicar (or verapamil).** Lithium blood levels should be monitored very closely by your Dr (perhaps weekly when Benicar is started) and then regularly as long as you are on the MP. We recommend Members not change their Lithium dose without the consent and supervision of their doctor. **Due to slow renal clearing, lithium toxicity may occur when taking Benicar (or verapamil).** Lithium blood levels should be monitored very closely by your Dr (perhaps weekly when Benicar is started) and then regularly as long as you are on the MP.

 +==== Immune suppression ====
 +
 +Two U.S. government reports from the 1970s to 1980s provide evidence for many neuropsychiatric effects of non-thermal microwave EMFs, based on occupational exposure studies.[[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26300312|(EMFs) produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression.]]
 +
 +In summary, then, the mechanism of action of microwave EMFs, the role of the VGCCs in the brain, the impact of non-thermal EMFs on the brain, extensive epidemiological studies performed over the past 50 years, and five criteria testing for causality, all collectively show that various non-thermal microwave EMF exposures produce diverse neuropsychiatric effects.

 +==== Astroglia ====
  
 +Astrocytes perform many functions, including biochemical support of endothelial cells that form the blood–brain barrier, provision of nutrients to the nervous tissue, maintenance of extracellular ion balance, and a role in the repair and scarring process of the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries. 
  
 +* Astrocytes are a type of glial cells and they hold various roles, mostly supporting neurons.
