Flouride in Drinking Water can make you Hypo!

[Guest guest]

I have read all sorts of articles questioning fluoridation of the public

drinking water supply. Why is it recommended that we avoid swallowing

fluoride

toothpastes but it's okay to drink it in your water?? Unfortunately

it's not possible to completely avoid it, we all get it in other ways

from foods, drinks, etc. But I feel there is no additional need for

fluoride toothpastes, treatments at the dentist, rinses, vitamins,

etc. You can also get a lot of info at Null's website www.garynull.com

in the library

section under dental care, very interesting! Fluoride is a toxin and yet

the average person does not question the fact that it is in the drinking

water supply.

When we moved to NC, we started getting spring water (with no added

fluoride) in those 5 gal bottles. The ironic thing is that ever since I was

pregnant with my first child, I have always had a cavity at my 6 month

appts. It was awful. This past year (since switching to non-fluoridated

water) is the first year since my pregnancies that I have needed no fillings

(!!!). It might be coincidental but who knows.

Tap water can make you FAT, say experts

Jul 11 2004

By Caroline Wheeler, Sunday Mercury

Medical experts claim that West Midlands tap water can make people

FAT and

could be fuelling rising obesity levels.

For the past 40 years, fluoride has been pumped into the region's tap

water

to help keep teeth healthy.

But now a top doctor claims that the toxin can cause worrying health

side-effects including hypothyroidism, a medical dis-order affecting

the

thyroid gland which controls weight gain.

And he believes that children may be particularly susceptible to

obesity if

their mums drank fluoridated water while pregnant.

Last year, the West Midlands topped the UK 'fat list' with a shocking

22.5

per cent of its population classed clinically obese.

Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield said: " There is no doubt that fluoride is

enzyme

disruptive and one thing it affects is thyroid hormones.

" As a result of this disruption, people can finish up with partial

under-activity of the thyroid gland.

" Thyroid problems are becoming more common, particularly in

Birmingham, and

one of the reasons is because of fluoride in the water. "

Dr Durrant-Peatfield explained that thyroid hormones rely on iodine,

which

is in the same group of four elements as fluorine. He said fluorine

can

displace iodine in the body, which can lead to problems with the

thyroid

gland.

" Children can be particularly affected if their mother was short of

iodine

during pregnancy, " he said.

Dr Durrant-Peatfield's sensational claims have been backed by other

medical

experts, including Dr Diane , who only began suffering with

thyroid

problems after moving to the West Midlands.

So far only the West Midlands and areas in Tyne and Wear have

fluoridated

water, but a new government bill could see it rolled out to other

areas of

the country.

Sue King, of the Fluoride Exposure Network, said: " No checks on

general

health have been carried out in the fluoridated areas of the West

Midlands,

yet fluoride must have an effect on soft tissues.

" That is why it's so important to make sure that fluoride is removed

from

the water supplies because we are already getting it from so many

sources,

including toothpaste, fertilisers and air pollution. "

Castle, of Birmingham's Health Services, said: " There is no

evidence of

any link between water fluoridation and thyroid problems.

" Four years ago, independent research at the University of York

concluded

that further research on fluoride and thyroid should be regarded as

low

priority. "

From the experience in my family this couldnt' be more off. My

sister, 4 cousins, aunt & grandmother (just on one side of the

family) all have thyroid problems, with the exception of 2 cousins

they all have Graves disease, the leading cause of hyperthyroidism.

We all lived in the same city, a city that has floride in the water

for years, all of our mother's, with the exception of mine grew up in

this city. As for the obesity factor, some of us are some aren't-my

sister was always much heavier than I was-same parents but very

different builds & my brother is still a toothpick.

Just to let you know, not all drinking water is floridated. In San

, Ca the water is not floridated. So far, we haven't had much

problem not have floridated water. I also don't give my kids little

floride tablets that our pediatrician recommended. I just let them

brush their teeth and get floride treatments at the dentist.

Just wanted to jump in and add my two cents... My father's side of the

family (living in Washington) all are on the band-wagon for eliminating

flouride from their drinking water. They constantly send me articles linking

flouride to certain disease processes and health conditions, but the big

argument is over adding man made flouride, a bi-products from many

industries such as alliminum flouride. Here in Colorado, for many towns and

cities, Flouride is natual occuring within our water supplies, it does not

need to be added, and is not linked to any health problems unlike the

flouride that is a bi-product of many industries. So, before running out to

buy that bottled water, you might want to call your water board and ask what

type of flouride is in your water supply.

I live out in the sticks (you know it's 5 miles before the boonies. lol) and

our water doesnt have flouride in it at all. Our county just doesnt' do it. The

kid's dentist gives me a script for a gel that I brush on thier teeth that stays

on for 30 minutes before it breaks down. we put brush that on at bedtime. :-)
