The Dangers of Fluoride

Fluoride is a toxin that wrecks your ability to think and concentrate and destroys your thyroid gland. Despite claims of safety, several studies showed lowered scores on cognition and IQ for those with high levels of fluoride in their body. But there’s more trouble – cancer, thyroid problems, kidney disease, fractures, and more.

Fluoride is more toxic than lead and only slightly less toxic than arsenic. It is an exceptionally dangerous chemical. Double-blind published research shows that a build -up of fluorides in the body leads to fibromyalgia, skeletal fluorosis, weak and damaged bones, heart and arterial disease , reduced intelligence , ADD / ADHD (attention deficiency hyperactive disorder) and a variety of other degenerative diseases that vary according to each individual. The damage is not immediate, and can take twenty or more years to show up as behavioural disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, hypothyroidism , hip fractures, bone cancer, osteoporosis , other cancers , kidney damage and a wide variety of other disorders. It will eat through metal and plastic pipes, and corrode stainless steel and other materials. It will dissolve rubber tires and melt concrete. This is what could be in your water—all in the name of saving children from cavities, which is highly questionable, according to many researchers. But even the less reactive sodium fluoride is a deadly poison, even in small quantities, and in the form used for fluoridation also contains additional impurities. Other common uses for sodium fluoride include, rat and cockroach poisons, anaesthetics, hypnotics and psychiatric drugs.

“The prolonged ingestion of fluoride may cause significant damage to health and particularly to the nervous system”, according to Valdez-Jimenez, lead researcher of a study published in June 2011. “It is important to be aware of this serious problem and avoid the use of toothpaste and items that contain fluoride, particularly in children as they are more susceptible to the toxic effects of fluoride.”
Fluorine, bromine, chlorine and iodine are known as halogens and are antagonistic to each other in the body. Increase the level of one or more of them and they tend to replace or remove the others. Fluorine, bromine and chlorine are toxic. They are goitrogens that lower the level of iodine in the thyroid gland and disrupts its function. Goiters, you may remember, are large swellings which can appear under the throat when there is insufficient iodine in the diet.

Fluoride poisoning can be manifested in seemingly harmless symptoms, such as white spots in teeth (dental fluorosis), or chronic problems, such as arthritic joints, or more serious problems, including respiratory disease or cancer, or a complex of problems, whether acute or chronic. Many drugs contain fluorides as an active component, antibiotics and many anaesthetics. In fact any drugs that have F l in the chemical components contain fluorides. Fluorides tend to accumulate in the body rather than being easily excreted. For this reason, they are also added to many pharmaceuticals so that the active components are not quickly flushed away. Sodium fluoride and sodium mono-fluorophosphate are added to most toothpaste and a host of other toxic chemicals are also added. Your mouth has some of the most absorptive membranes in your body and as you brush your teeth most of these toxins go directly into your bloodstream. Use a natural, fluoride-free toothpaste or tooth powder, with no chemicals added. Baking soda is a great tooth cleaning powder or use coconut oil, which is, among other things, anti-bacterial......................
