Fluoride Good or Bad?
There is a considerable row going on behind the scenes Water fluoridation controversy about whether it is a good idea to put fluoride in our water, and in our toothpaste, and sprayed on our food and…
Just Google ‘fluoride‘ and you will see what I mean!
I still laugh about the way people started drinking mineral water in the 1960s and I remember it was on BBC news one evening, as the ‘establishment’ investigated mineral water to see what was in it and why all the health food beanies were drinking it! They were mystified. It never occurred to them that we were all drinking it because there was NOTHING IN IT!!!
I am not a chemist and will not claim to offer a knowledgeable opinion on this subject, but I will quote this from a blog about flouride just to set the scene…..
“I’m not against this possibility: that the people in power are employing sodium fluoride in drinking water to dumb us down, keep us docile. First, sodium fluoride is an industrial waste product. It comes from aluminum processing and the chemical fertilizer industry, to name to well-known sources. The most common substances now used for fluoridation are hydrofluosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride, which are waste products that are captured in scrubber systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry. The resulting toxic waste can not be diluted by 1 million or even 3 million or 10 million to 1 and dumped in the ocean or river or landfill, nor allowed to escape into the air because it would kill all the plants and animals and people. And it can’t be given away because it would sill be classified as Class I toxic waste and have to be neutralized at the highest rated hazardous waste facility at a cost of $1.40 per gallon, or more depending on how much cadmium, lead, uranium, and arsenic are also present. But if destined for a water district that will pay $0.35 to $0.45 per gallon for transportation, the 23% solution in industrial waste water is magically pronounced benign and shipped, untreated, to be mixed in our water. So cost is the first issue, and corporate irresponsibility. The second issue is credibility. The American Medical Association, the American Dental Association, and the Centers for Disease Control maintain the official position that fluoride in water, up to 1.0ppm is not only safe, but preventative of dental cavities…. Consider also that dentists have no medical jurisdiction in any of the human body save the mouth. They can damn ingesting drinking water CONTAMINATED with industrial fluoride waste, but it would take the American Medical Association or the Centers of Disease Control to “whistle-blow” on the disasterous medical side-effects of long-term fluoride ingestion. There a piles and piles of studies on this, on lab animals and people, done around the world, not just in the United States. Assistant Director of the Department of Environmental Health for the American Medical Association Joseph E. Flanagan, Jr., in 1965, wrote, “The American Medical Association is not prepared to state that “no harm will be done to any person by water fluoridation.” The American Medical Association has not carried out any research work, either long-term or short-term, regarding the possibility of any side effects”

Have just stumbled on this site after Googling.
I knew that fluoride wasn’t good but was not aware just how bad it was until today.
In 1985 my dentist told me to take fluoride tablets during the first 3 months of pregnancy and not knowing any better, I did!!
I have had chronic fatigue and multiple allergies since 1990 when I had a course of 3 Hep B vaccines containing mercury. I have mercury hypersensitivity and I now believe the vaccines were the trigger. Now I wonder if fluoride may have been a contribution to this since my symptoms are that of hypothyroidism though tests are always within normal range.
Can anyone recommend an experienced homeopath in Warwickshire area? I have been trying to get an nhs ref to RLHH but my GP ref has now been refused 4 times.
Many thanks.
