Quick link to the R.O. water system I use to remove the fluoride. https://amzn.to/2yupCNA
So for years we have been taught that fluoride is good for teeth and that it can protect them from decay when applied topically, but what happens when we ingest it? There are a few different forms of fluoride; calcium fluoride, sodium fluoride, and hydrofluorosilicic acid. The first one can be found in nature, the other two are byproducts of aluminum and metal manufacturing, and phosphate mining; they are highly toxic to all living organisms and were at one time being pumped into the air and dumped into streams where they decimating the eco system. This stuff eats through glass, steel, and even concrete. Just look up the Rock Island fluoride hazmat spill. Believe it or not, the last two are the ones being added to your drinking water. This junk often carries with it other heavy metals and toxins such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. A large amount of our hydrofluorosilicic acid is imported from China who recognizes it as toxic waste and bands it from their own drinking water. As do Austria, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Hungary, Japan, and many others. The European Union decided (based off the same information available to the USA) that there are too many unresolved health issues associated with this toxic byproduct and therefore it is unethical to force it on people who don’t want it. That’s okay, just slap a skull and cross bones on the side and ship it to America, where it is illegal to put into the sea, but okay to put into the peoples drinking water. Some time in the early 40s the destructive nature of these chemicals became clear. Companies would have to spend millions of dollars to clean, filter, and properly dispose of this toxic waste; but that’s where you come in. By adding so many parts per million to our drinking water, we become the filter for this destructive substance. Even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes it as a poisonous nerotoxin. Studies have shown it to cause a slowing of the mind. One study done at Harvard found that children who lived in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ levels than those living in low fluoride areas. The EPA also states that if more than used for brushing (a pea sized amount) is swallowed, one should call poison control. Yet that is how much you consume with each glass of water if you live in a city with fluoridated water. I’d also like to add, that even if one considers it a medicine, there is no way to regulate it. The more one drinks, the more one gets, and it’s not just in the water, it’s in everything made with the water; sodas, juices, cereals, and just about anything else you can think of. Reverse osmosis filtration is the only way to remove a noticeable amount of fluoride; charcoal filters, distillation, and boiling don’t work. This is the one I own https://amzn.to/2yupCNA it works great, never leaks, and I only have to worry about filters once a year. It was easy to install; check out the reviews. Over fluoridation in young children can lead to a condition know as dental fluorosis. I recommend you look up some images online. Another condition caused by over fluoridation is skeletal fluorosis. Fluoride absorbs into the bones and prevents calcium from being used properly. This leads to a build up of blood calcium which over time leads to a weakening of the bones and calcification of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissue, especially in the joints. This leads to varying forms of joint pain. Now the drug companies can also make money from fluoridation; angry yet? Fluoride or (fluorine) is classified as a halogen element on the periodic table; the same is true of chlorine, bromine, astatine, and iodine. Fluoride is known to disrupt the uptake of iodine by the thyroid gland. Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones; without it it’s likely one could develop hypothyroidism. Further studies have found fluoride to be linked to the inactivation of 62 enzymes needed for normal function, and correlation to increases in the aging process, increases in cancer and tumor growth by 17%, disruption of the immune system, interruption of DNA repair activity, genetic damage, lower sperm counts in men, lower testostorone in men, decreased fertility in women, and pineal gland interference. Fluoride is the active ingredient in Prozac which is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat depression, OCD, Panic disorder, and bulimia nervosa. Before one can be prescribed this drug the patient must (by law) give informed consent. The American Medical Association defines informed consent as "a process of communication between a patient and physician that results in the patient's authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention." The exact wording varies from state to state but is fundamentally the same. All medical providers must inform a patient of all the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives involved in any surgical procedure, medical procedure, or other course of treatment, and must obtain the patient's written consent to proceed. The idea is that the patient has the right to make an informed decision regarding treatment. In emergency situations, there is not always time to obtain a patient's informed consent, nor is it always possible when the patient is unconscious or unable to communicate. The Food and Drug Administration allows for the use of experimental drugs or devices in emergency situations without informed consent if the community at large knows that the research into the drug or device is going on, a special committee keeps track of the results, and provisions are in place so that the experimental use can be stopped immediately if need be. It should be noted that fluoride is not regulated by the FDA, and we already know that the EPA recognizes it as a poison. So who decides? The Department of Health and Human Services has recommended
between .07 mg/L and 1.2 mg/L. Many cities being on the higher end. In 2011 the DHHS finally recognized that dental fluorosis was greatly increasing due to over exposure. At that time it was estimated that 41% of adolescents between the ages of 12-15 already had some form of this condition. The new recommendation given was no higher that .07 mg/L. This is a step in the right direction, but it is still impossible to regulate an individuals water consumption, and therefore should be completely removed as there are plenty of affordable options for those who would choose to use fluoride; among theme are many brands of fluoridated toothpastes and mouth washes. The layer of fluoride that is suppose to protect your teeth from decay is so thin, it would take 10,000 layers to equal the thickness of a single strand of hair. If one wants to prevent decay, one must kill the Bactria that are responsible for it; such as streptococcus mutans which can be killed with baking soda. Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate is an antacid. It is useful in balancing acidity levels in the mouth which can help with halitosis (bad breath). It can also aid in removing stains, preventing plaque build up, and preventing gum disease. A half tea spoon in a mouth full amount of water should do the trick. Swish it around for at least thirty seconds, but a good couple minutes is ideal. It’s not recommend to actually brush with it on your teeth as it is somewhat abrasive and over time could damage the enamel. Iodine can also be used to kill unwanted mouth bacteria such as streptococcus mutans and streptococcus sobrinus. Add a drop or two of potassium iodine to a mouth full amount of water and swish; 30 seconds is all that is needed.
