Fluoridation As a Potential Cause of Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Fibromyalgia is a debilitating disease that is difficult to diagnose because Fibromyalgia symptoms can mimic other health issues.
Diagnosis seems to be a process of elimination of other similar diseases. Even then, many doctors aren’t willing to make the diagnosis.
Just as frustrating, the cause of fibromyalgia is not known. Scientists feel it is caused by a genetic predisposition that is often triggered by an illness or other trauma.
Environmental factors contributing to fibromyalgia cannot be overlooked, however. Along with an increase in the number of toxins and chemicals in the environment, there is also an increase in illnesses that are sometimes referred to as “mystery illnesses”, or illnesses that are difficult to diagnose and of which the cause may be unknown.
Is Fluoride Leading to “Mystery Illnesses”?
One environment toxin that may be responsible for a number of health issues is fluoride.
In most municipalities, fluoride is added to the water in an effort to reduce tooth decay in children. It is also found in toothpastes, mouthwashes and various other products, including prescription medications.
There is considerable research showing that fluoride is not especially effective and may, in fact, do more hard than good. This is not a big surprise, considering that it is also considered a hazardous waste.

The Side Effects of Fluoride
The EPA has recommended that fluoridation of the water supply be halted because of the many potential side effects stating:

“Recent, peer-reviewed toxicity data, when applied to EPA’s standard method for controlling risks from toxic chemicals, require an immediate halt to the use of the nation’s drinking water reservoirs as disposal sites for the toxic waste of the phosphate fertilizer industry.” (1)

Fluoride has been linked to such diseases as cancer, arthritis, bone disease, kidney damage, brain damage and thyroid issues. Could it also be a potential cause of fibromyalgia symptoms?...........
