The Dangers of Fluoride
 |
|
Fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known to man, yet based on its inclusion in virtually every brand of toothpaste, the American Dental Association believes it’s okay to use fluoride for preventative dental care. Other products, such as bottled water, infant formulas, and even vitamin supplements, now contain fluoride!
In 2002, nearly 90% of the U.S. population was supplied water via public water systems, and around 67% of that number received fluoridated water. This occurred in spite of the fact, “No statistically significant differences were found in the decay rates of permanent teeth or the percentages of decay-free children in the fluoridated, non-fluoridated, and partially fluoridated areas.” [1]
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) typically label sodium fluoride as “…toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin contact” and that PPE (personal protection equipment) for handling should include safety glasses and gloves. Fluorides are more toxic than lead and only slightly less poisonous than arsenic… and these toxins can enter your body from brushing your teeth or rinsing with many popular dental care products!
Fluoride compounds are still purposefully added to water in many areas (in a process known as fluoridation) and is used in most brands of toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay. However, fluoride has never been proven to significantly aid in protecting teeth from the development of cavities.
Every year Poison Control centers receive thousands of calls from people reporting excessive consumption of fluoride-containing products, such as vitamins, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc. Fluoride poisoning severely damages the body and can be fatal. This lethal chemical creates a toxic state that can cause a variety of harmful effects.
Also, Practically all of the beverages sold in stores use tap water. The customers who drink those beverages ingest a fair amount of added fluoride. When the availability of such beverages is combined with the amount of fluoridated tap water, one can appreciate the high level of fluoride in the present-day diet.
The ingestion of these simple everyday foods can introduce an increased amount of fluoride into the body:
- Reconstituted dry food
- Food cooked in a Teflon pan
- Soup made at home and in restaurants
- Mechanically de-boned chicken
- Anesthetics used to knock you out for surgery also contain fluorides.
Potential Results of Consuming Fluorides
- Acute Poisoning [2]
- Birth Defects [3]
- Osteoarthritis [4]
- Bone & Uterine Cancer [5]
- Perinatal Death [6]
- Immune System Suppression [7]
- Gastrointestinal Disorders [8]
- Essential enzyme inhibition [9]
- Lowered IQ (especially in young children) [10]
- Skeletal Fluorosis (leading to brittle teeth and bones) [11]
How Safe is Water Fluoridation?
The practice of water fluoridation has been rejected or banned in several countries including: China, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Japan.
Nearly all of Europe’s water supply is fluoride-free, and thankfully, many American communities are realizing this is the healthier choice. More than 45 U.S. cities have rejected the process of water fluoridation since 1990. Now, if the remaining 30,000 will follow along, the entire nation will have access to fluoride-free water.
With all this knowledge and current research demonstrating the harmful effects of fluoride, can you believe a company (DS Waters of America Inc.) would actually market bottled water for children containing this toxin? Nursery®, for infants, actually advertises on the label that it has “added fluoride”! Furthermore, this company goes on to state, “If you make the choice not to breastfeed, you can still give your baby all the nutrients he/she needs with commercial formula.”
Of course, the manufacturer would stand to profit from this advice as they subtly suggest “Nursery® can be ideal for mixing with baby formulas”. To support their position, the company misconstrues “recommendations” from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the FDA that chemically synthesized formula is just as good as real breastmilk. In fact, DS Waters’ “research” was obviously obtained from the website of a doctor whose tradition-oriented childcare theories have been all but invalidated, misguided, and just plain harmful to your child’s development!
Testing for Flouride Poisoning
In a medical laboratory, technicians can measure blood levels for the amount of calcium and potassium. Both hypocalcemia (too little calcium) and hyperkalemia (too much potassium) can indicate that a patient has been exposed to an excess amount of fluoride.
Our poor children are being poisoned and they don’t even know it! It really bothers me that so many parents do not even bother researching what they feed to their kids. Twenty years from now, when all of these substances have been banned as cancer-causing agents, many adults will be asking, “Mom, Dad, Why did you feed me all of these toxic chemicals?” What will you say to your child? “Sorry, the manufacturer said it was OK”?
With that being said, the great news is—the human body can detoxify and repair itself at a rapid rate. So it’s not too late to cleanse your body and begin avoiding this toxic chemical!

It is also poisoning our precious bodily fluids. That is why I only drink moonshine and rain water.

it is useful for somebody to poison our civilization. It looks like someone trys to make people more dumb and sick. why?
I think such documentaries as “zeitgeist” “endgame” and etc is the answer to this question.
This toxins are destroying humans pineal gland and reducing the chance to reveal psychic abilities such as clairvoyance, telepathy and etc… Somebody is hiding secret connections between human beiing and universe.
you may call me paranoid but just think about!
All is like a show in a theatre all those swine flus, bird flus and buying vaccines.
Wake up people. Best wishes and luck for you all.
The time is coming to awake !

If the purported health benefits of fluoride to prevent dental cavities have never been statistically proven, and ingestion of fluoride can be fatal or otherwise detrimental to health – acute poisoning, birth defects, osteoarthritis, bone & uterine cancer, perinatal death, immune system suppression, gastrointestinal disorders, essential enzyme inhibition, lowered IQ (especially in young children), skeletal fluorosis (leading to brittle teeth and bones) – especially in infants and children who are particularly vulnerable – then why are we still fluoridating the general water supply?

The fact that we have the UK and US that flouridate and oterh western countries that do not allows us to see how effective the process is. In a study published in the March 2006 issue of the Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice, there was found to be the same rate of decline of tooth decay in countries that did and did not add flouride to water. Hard to see why we keep doing this.

My father, who is a traditional M.D. has been recently battling with his local city water treatment plants and other city officials over adding fluoride to our water supply. If you do some digging you will discover that HITLER added fluoride to the water population in order to “dumb down” the population so that they would not fight his tyranny… If Hitler used this as a weapon, why is it still considered “safe” to be in our drinking water supply??

That’s right, Floride was first used by Hitler! It was made by IG Farben, his chemical and biological weapons manufacturers. The sick thing is, after Hitler died the U.S. hired IG Farben. They were brought into the U.S. by way of the Red Cross through “Operation Paperclip”, smuggled out through the “rat line” from Germany to Rome. They were paid 65K/year plus benefits, which was alot back then. That’s when we became Nazi America. I got this information from Dr. Len Horowitz, from a movie called “Emerging Viruses and Vaccines” and his book, “Emerging Viruses, AIDS and Ebola.” And that’s when the U.S. started adding Floride to the water supply, twisted freaks!

Ugh Dr. G you just brought me bad news. I just had oral surgery the other day for a cyst in my gums… and i had them knock me out for it..injected me…so basically I got injected with fluorides too???? Amazing. Not enough that i’m taking this amoxicillin which is the worst ever .. I get injected with fluoride too, great.

I live in Spain and our family dentist has recommended that our two children take fluoride tablets to help strengthen their teeth due to medication that they were given when they were babies. Is this normal dental practice?

Something being FDA approved is not a selling-point.
The FDA is a larger proponent of disease than of wellness.

Thanks for the great article. I remember when I asked my old dentist about the safety of flouride he became quite angry and insulted that I questioned the safety of an ingredient that most dentists push. Even when I went to check my local dental association’s website, it gave very little information on what fluoride is.
I would love to hear your opinion on Xylitol as a substitute.

“I dont’ even like showering in it.”
Somehow, I don’t find this surprising.

We can only thank the heavens that, despite fluoride’s status as “one of the most toxic substances known to man,” not one person has ever been conclusively shown to have been harmed by it. We humans must be made of truly rugged stuff to be surviving this onslaught so effectively.
While on the subject, I want to draw everyone’s attention to another deadly substance that people encounter far more frequently and in far greater amounts than fluoride: http://www.dhmo.org is the world’s leading research organization for this toxic poison. Only by banding together can we hope to drive the purveyors of these horrible poisons out of business.

Plenty of people have been harmed by it. Didn’t you see Dr. Group’s list of effects? Hitler used it to “dumb the people down.” Have you ever spoken to a dumb person or to someone who seemed as though you were speaking to a brick wall, or someone who didn’t absorb one word you said? I call that harm. How many people do you see who are anti-social? They didn’t put floride in the water so people will drink it and immediately drop dead. It’s there to scatter your brains and to break your body down in the longrun.

Fluoridation of the public water supply is a controversial subject. Even though fluoride is contained naturally in fresh and salt water, also in fish, bone meal and tea, some don’t want their water fluoridated. However, this is a totally separate subject from fluoride contained in toothpaste, mouthwash or treatments from your dentist for one reason, YOU DON’T INGEST THE FLUORIDE in these cases(if directions are followed). So all of the “potential” health risks don’t apply to the USE of, but the INGESTION of fluoride. Fluoride has been shown by many studies to reduces the formation of cavities and is FDA approved. So use caution before going “fluoride free”.

thank you for this post.. I have been saying for years that there are alot of dangers to fluoride. My community has fluoride in the water, so I do everything I can to avoid using it. I dont’ even like showering in it.
