I would like to take a few moments to talk about Fluoride and the many problems is poses to human health and liberty. Why do I mention Liberty? I mention because it because It’s use is completely illegal and therefore infringes on our rights. It's kind of like dumping an unapproved drug into the drinking water. There are several good resources for fluoride information that I will site and then you—the reader—can go about doing your own research and decide for yourself how you feel about the subject. 

Besides it’s proven risks to the thyroid gland, bones and kidneys, it also poses strong risks to brain function. Anything that may impair the proper development and function of the brain is automatically going to raise a red flag for me.

Now, if a society is only as good as the sum of it’s parts, and if you want to have the most efficient and prosperous society possible, common sense would tell you that each and every person needs to be of the highest health, highest abundance and highest possible intelligence. In this way, strong, intelligent people accumulate to make a better collective result. With this in mind, do we really want to risk our health in the vain attempt to prevent a few cavities? 

My hope for the world is that we will eventually steer away from unhealthy thinking, living and eating patterns and collectively shift to a paradigm of high morality, high mind, high science, high spirituality and high culture. A society such as this would be the most beautiful thing I could hope to see in my life. To achieve such heights we must first address and fix the problems that hold us back. Step 1 would be to remove ANYTHING that could damage or impair—in any way—our brain and nervous system. If we can’t even think straight we’ll have no hope of working together to solve the many problems that we are now faced with in our modern age. 

Fluoride is one of the things that is holding humanity back in a major way and here is some facts that will explain why.

A great source for fluoride information is The Fluoride Action Networks website, www.fluoridealert.org. Here they site many facts that you won’t normally hear in the mainstream. 

Here is a brief excerpt from The Fluoride Action Networks's article, “10 Facts About Fluoride.”

                “1) 97% of western Europe has chosen fluoride-free water . This includes: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland. (While some European countries add fluoride to salt, the majority do not.) Thus, rather than mandating fluoride treatment for the whole population, western Europe allows individuals the right to choose, or refuse, fluoride.”

            “2) Fluoride is the only chemical added to drinking water for the purpose of medication (to prevent tooth decay). All other treatment chemicals are added to treat the water (to improve the water's quality and safety - which fluoride does not do). This is one of the reasons why most of Europe has rejected fluoridation. For instance:

In Germany, "The argumentation of the Federal Ministry of Health against a general permission of fluoridation of drinking water is the problematic nature of compulsion medication."

In Belgium, it is "the fundamental position of the drinking water sector that it is not its task to deliver medicinal treatment to people. This is the sole responsibility of health services."

In Luxembourg, "In our views, drinking water isn't the suitable way for medicinal treatment and that people needing an addition of fluoride can decide by their own to use the most appropriate way."

            “3) Contrary to previous belief, fluoride has minimal benefit when swallowed. When water fluoridation began in the 1940s and '50s, dentists believed that fluoride needed to be swallowed in order to be most effective. This belief, however, has now been discredited by an extensive body of modern research (1).

According to the Centers for Disease Control, fluoride's "predominant effect is posteruptive and topical" (2). In other words, any benefits that accrue from the use of fluoride, come from the direct application of fluoride to the outside of teeth (after they have erupted into the mouth) and not from ingestion. There is no need, therefore, to expose all other tissues to fluoride by swallowing it.”

          ”4) Fluoridated water is no longer recommended for babies. In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water (3). Other dental researchershave made similar recommendations over the past decade (4).

Babies exposed to fluoride are at high risk of developing dental fluorosis - a permanent tooth defect caused by fluoride damaging the cells which form the teeth (5). Other tissues in the body may also be affected by early-life exposures to fluoride. According to a recent review published in the medical journal The Lancet, fluoride may damage the developing brain, causing learning deficits and other problems (6).”

          “5) There are better ways of delivering fluoride than adding it to water. By adding fluoride to everyone's tap water, many infants and other at-risk populations will be put in harm's way. This is not only wrong, it is unnecessary. As western Europe has demonstrated, there are many equally effective and less-intrusive ways of delivering fluoride to people who actually want it. For example:

A) Topical fluoride products such as toothpaste and mouthrinses (which come with explicit instructions not to swallow) are readily available at all grocery stores and pharmacies. Thus, for those individuals who wish to use fluoride, it is very easy to find and very inexpensive to buy.

B) If there is concern that some people in the community cannot afford to purchase fluoride toothpaste (a family-size tube of toothpaste costs as little as $2 to $3), the money saved by not fluoridating the water can be spent subsidizing topical fluoride products (or non-fluoride alternatives) for those families in need.

C) The vast majority of fluoride added to water supplies is wasted, since over 99% of tap water is not actually consumed by a human being. It is used instead to wash cars, water the lawn, wash dishes, flush toilets, etc.”

            ”7) The industrial chemicals used to fluoridate water may present unique health risks not found with naturally-occurring fluoride complexes”

 The site goes into too much detail to list here but if you would like to study the full gambit of facts you can go to www.fluoridealert.org and read this and more, as well as review their sources.  

Another good resource for natural news and health related information is Dr. Mercola’s website, www.mercola.com. To access the information on his site you will be asked to sign up on his e-mailing list but beyond that there are no requirements for you to subscribe or buy anything; all though, he does have supplements for sale on his website.   

Here is the first segment of Dr. Mercola’s Interview with Dr. Paul Connett, a trained chemist and founder of The Fluoride Action Network.

   

 Mike Adams, the founder of www.naturalnews.com , also produces high quality videos on important, health related topics.

Here is a very informational video that Mike created about fluoride entitled, The Fluoride Deception. 

 

I hope this blog has opened your eyes to the dangers of fluoride and that it will inspire you to further your own research on the subject.  

I would also like to throw out a website for a terrific water filter producer that can help you to filter Chlorine, fluoride, as well as many other chemicals that could be lurking in your tap water.

If you look on the left hand tool bar you'll see links for both countertop and undersink filter styles. 

 So long and until the next blog I will continue to envision an abundant world full of crystal clean drinking water, peace and prosperity.
