Canada - Holistic approach to fluoride issue
Holistic approach to fluoride issue
Lately your journal has published letters on the subject of fluoridation, by which we mean adding fluoride to our city drinking water.
For amateurs in scientific and medical knowledge, such as myself and a few others, it is not at all certain that we know where and how to get dependable information in dealing with our health. It has been said that 'science is the cemetery of hypothesis.'
A funny thing: nine European countries have already banned it, like China and Japan, claiming that this toxic product does not bring any benefit to prevent tooth decay. Besides, fluoride can cause damage to our bones, our thyroid gland, our kidneys, our liver and our brain.
Also, fluoridation constitutes constant attacks on the good bacteria of our bodies that we can consider as our second immune system.
The inconvenience of science is that it has a limited scope of investigation. If you consider the limited relations between fluoride and the teeth, then fluoridation may be worthwhile. But those teeth are rooted in a whole body for which a holistic approach is much more appropriate.
Ever since the 17th century we have taken a mechanistic approach to our bodies, like they were machines. Suppose that good health is a combination of good food, good breathing, good posture, good exercise and good thinking, then adding a mineral to our water is a short-sighted perception of our whole being.
It used to be that the golden rule was to treat others as you would like to be treated; today it seems that whoever has the gold makes the rule. Who the heck wants to sell fluoride?
