Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 ok, so on this thread i want to make sure i understand. my middle son has had horrible teeth problems since his first molars came in. i've always suspected the Oxygen he was on at 2 wks old for a wk in the hospital. I also suspect it for some slow speech and slight stutter, despite the fact he is brilliant. He had his first fillings at 2 and has them constantly. We brush his teeth more than the other boys and he is supposed to have flouride every night. he often swallows some. So, should I stop the flouride treatments? Is this harmful to Austin as well as Cole who uses it? And, should I go have my teeth that are filled ripped out. LOL - how harmful am I being to Austin?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Lynne,Fluoride as used to fluoridate water, for fluoride treatments, and in toothpaste is toxic waste (also used as rat poison). It's toxic to everyone. Find a mercury-free dentist to have your amalgam fillings replaced with composite fillings. If pregnant or breastfeeding postpone this until afterwards.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Hi Lynn Loose the flouride too - I know this is hard is start with, we have hearing lies for years Check out info below HTH Mandi in UK Scientific Facts on the Biological Effects of Fluorides 1. Fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea. A.K.

Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the blood. A. , " Neutrophil Iodintion Reaction Induced by Fluoride: Implications for Degranulation and Metabolic Activation, " Blood, Vol. 57, pp. 913-921 (1981). 3. Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of white blood cells to properly destroy foreign agents by the process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm fluoride stimulates superoxide production in resting white blood cells, virtually abolishing phagocytosis. Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 1 ppm, may seriously depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.

In 1991, the Akron (Ohio) Regional Poison Center reported that " death has been reported following ingestion of 16mg/kg of fluoride. Only 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride could kill a 100 pound adult. According to the Center, " fluoride toothpaste contains up to 1mg/gram of fluoride. " Even Proctor and Gamble, the makers of Crest, acknowledge that a family-sized tube " theoretically contains enough fluoride to kill a small child. " Fluorides have been used to modify behavior and mood of human beings. It is a little known fact that fluoride compounds were added to the drinking water of prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison camps in World War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia. Fluorides are medically categorized as protoplasmic poisons, which is why they are used to kill rodents. The September 18, 1943 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, states, " fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons, changing the permeability of the cell membrane by inhibiting certain enzymes. The exact mechanisms of such actions are obscure. " Fluoride consumption by human beings increases the general cancer death rate. In 1975 Dr. Yiamouyiannis published a preliminary survey which showed that people in fluoridated areas have a higher cancer death rate than those in non-fluoridated areas. The National Cancer Institute attempted to refute the studies. Later in 1975 Yiamouyiannis joined with Dr. Dean Burk, chief chemist of the National Cancer Institute (1939-1974) in performing other studies which were then included in the Congressional Record by Congressman Delaney, who was the original author of the Delaney Amendment, which prohibited the addition of cancer-causing substances to food used for human consumption. Both reports confirmed the existence of a link between fluoridation and cancer. (Note: Obviously Dr. Burk felt free to agree with scientific truth only after his tenure at National Cancer Institute ended, since his job depended on towing the party line). Fluorides have little or no effect on decay prevention in humans. In 1990 Dr. Colquhoun was forced into early retirement in New Zealand after he conducted a study on 60,000 school children and found no difference in tooth decay between fluoridated and unfluoridated areas. He additionally found that a substantial number of children in fluoridated areas suffered from dental fluorosis. He made the study public. There is no scientific data that shows that fluoride mouth rinses and tablets are safe for human use. In 1989 a study by Hildebolt, et al. on 6,000 school children contradicted any alleged benefit from the use of sodium fluorides. A 1990 study by Dr. Yiamouyiannis on 39,000 school children contradicted any alleged benefits from the use of sodium fluorides. In 1992 Perrone, a legislative assistant in New Jersey, contacted the FDA requesting all information regarding the safety and effectiveness of fluoride tablets and drops. After 6 months of stalling, the FDA admitted they had no data to show that fluoride tablets or drops were either safe or effective. They informed Perrone that they will " probably have to pull the tablets and drops off the market. " The fact that fluoride toothpastes and school based mouth rinses are packaged in aluminum accentuates the effect on the body. In 1976, Dr. D. Allman and coworkers from Indiana University School of Medicine fed animals 1 part-per-million (ppm) fluoride and found that in the presence of aluminum, in a concentration as small as 20 parts per billion, fluoride is able to cause an even larger increase in cyclic AMP levels. Cyclic AMP inhibits the migration rate of white blood cells, as well as the ability of the white blood cell to destroy pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms. Reference: Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 55, Sup B, p. 523, 1976, " Effect of Inorganic Fluoride Salts on Urine and Tissue Cyclic AMP Concentration in Vivo " . (Note: It is no small accident that toothpaste tubes containing fluoride are often made of aluminum) " Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century " Carlton, Ph. D., former U. S. EPA scientist on " Marketplace " Canadian Broadcast Company, Nov. 24, 1992 " Regarding fluoridation, the EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects " Marcus, Ph.

Subject: Deadly Effects of Chlorine in Water Dear Friends: You must have a filter on drinking and bath water. Willis 20 February 2000 Chlorinated tap water linked to birth defects By Jacqui Thornton Health Correspondent and Martyn Halle An independent study into the use of chlorine-treated drinking water has been ordered by the Government because of fears that it may cause spina bifida and stillbirths. Scientists from Imperial College, London University, will carry out the research after doctors in Norway, Canada and the United States reported higher levels of birth defects in areas where chlorine is used, compared with drinking water treated by alternative methods. All of Britain's water companies chlorinate their supplies. The only people who have non-chlorinated water are those with their own bore holes or wells. A Norwegian study of 141,000 births over three years found a 14 per cent increased risk of birth defects in areas with chlorinated water. Scientists have already found an association between chlorine and an increased risk of bowel, kidney and bladder cancer, but it is the first time that a link has been found with higher levels of spina bifida. Last night the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association said it was " concerned " by the findings and would be discussing them with medical advisers before considering making representations to the Government. British water industry experts have not dismissed the findings but said that the safety benefits of purification outweigh the risks of birth defects. Dr Per Magnus, who carried out the Norwegian research, said: " This is an important finding because we know there are chemicals released by the action of chlorine on organic particles at treatment works. We have observed mutations in these chemicals which seem to tie up with mutations that are found in babies. We were in a unique position in Norway to make these observations because in some areas our water comes from the mountains and doesn't require cleaning with chlorine. " The Norwegian government has ordered more research. Concerned families there have been filtering tap water. A popular method has been to place sachets of coral sand, dredged from fjords, into water before it is drunk, removing all traces of chlorine in tap water in 15 minutes. In Canada, at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, researchers found that high levels of trihalomethanes, a by-product of chlorine in drinking water, significantly increased the risk of stillbirth. Dr Marshall, of the Pure Water Association, a pressure group which has been campaigning for safer drinking water, said: " It shows we should be paying more attention to the chemicals we put in drinking water and be looking for other alternatives to chlorination. A number of safe, non-toxic options exist, such as treating water with the gas ozone or ultra violet. " Chlorine is in the same chemical group as fluoride, which has been linked with cancer and osteoporosis. There is also a connection between fluoride and increased blood pressure and an increase in problems with the thyroid gland. Fawell, a leading specialist on water quality, and an independent industry consultant, said the British Government and water companies were taking the danger of birth defects seriously. He said: " The people who have done this work in Norway and the United States are reputable researchers and the Government and water companies have commissioned their own research from London University. " But at present the conclusion of the World Health Organisation and other concerned bodies is that the risk from contaminated water supplies outweighs the risk to health from chlorine. Levels of chlorine and its by-products have been falling in water and the amount coming out of the average tap is half a millilitre per litre. " > -Lynn, > > Don't brush the silver fillings.

Ripping teeth out would get rid of the amalgam, but replacing the amalgam is also possible. And leaves you with teeth. Whether you want to do this is a kinda complex decision. You might want to do it just on general principle. Or you might want to get a hair test on yourself done. Or you may just want to consider it for a while. If you or the boys are getting any new fillings put in I would sure not want amalgam though. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
