I've not checked out reverse osmosis... I've found out that most filters won't wake out fluoride... I had to write to a couple of manufacturers to find that out....

Does your water in the UK get treated with fluoride and/or chlorine?

Most of our water is treated with chlorine. The UK has

several different water authorities. Some flouridate

water and some do not. There are areas with a lot of

naturally occuring flouride.

Our government has just passed legislation making it

possible for all water companies to add flouride to

water without risk of legal action from anyone harmed

by it.

It is not surprising that areas of the country that

have had flouridated water the longest also seem to be

the hotspots for thyroid illness. I can't remember

where I read this, but I think the city of Birmingham

is one of those areas.

Scarry, isn't it? That they continue to allow our water, which ever country, to be contaminated with this stuff.....

I have a reverse osmosis system. I was having really bad stomach

problems for a while and a few docs later and tests and they could not

figure out what was wrong other than I had a lot of scar tissue on the

inside of the digestive tract.. From the esphapagus through the

intestines. I got the reverse osmosis system and use it for

everything. I discovered that it is the chlorine in the water that is

causing it. I am not sure about the flouride as we have had it out of

the water for a few years..but it says it is suppose to remove 99.9%

of the stuff in the water.

My family comes from Birmingham...and three of the sisters and me (offspring) appears to have thryoid disease. There may be others.

Hi , I don't THINK our local water gets flouride treatment but we got our reverse osmosis filter fitted because there are VERY high nitrates in this area. I don't know about chlorine in the area though - I'll have to try and find out:-) We can possibly find out from the manufacturers of the filter if it takes out flouride and chlorine anyway - I'll see if I can do that next week.

Yes here is one of the articles

http://libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=80705

Water in the West Midlands has been fluoridated for

forty years. In 2003, the region topped the UK’s " fat

list " with 22% of the population classed as clinically

obese. Doctors are concerned that pregnant mothers

ingesting fluoride from drinking water are

pre-disposing their offspring to obesity.

Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield, a thyroid specialist,

believes that fluoride is partially to blame for the

high incidence of under active thyroid problems in

Birmingham. He says, " There is no doubt that fluoride

is enzyme disruptive and one thing it affects is

thyroid hormones. " This is because fluoride interferes

with the uptake of iodine crucial for the regulation

of hormones. Dr Peatfield was suspended by the GMC

(General Medical Council) because he made natural

thyroid treatments available to his patients. He was

subsequently reinstated.

Up until the 1950s, European doctors used fluoride to

reduce the symptoms of an overactive thyroid gland.

However, the maximum daily intake of 6.6mg per day of

fluoride by populations overexposed to fluoride

exceeds the maximum dose of 4.6mg used to depress the

thyroid gland. In the US, an estimated 13 million

women have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid,

and drugs used to treat hypothyroid were the second

most prescribed medication in 1999.
