Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 I use Natural White toothpaste (purple tube) which has no fluoride and Biotene mouthwash which also has no fluoride. I have my dentist not use fluoride on me when I get my teeth cleaned or any other time.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 1999 Report Share Posted December 1, 1999 Dear : It appears that your contentions are correct, that fluoride as either sodium or calcium are harmful. Here are remarks from Ray Peat PhD who is a very knowledgeable biochemist. Best wishes, Earl FLUORIDE: It's less soluble [calcium fluoride], but it does interact with other ions and deliver toxic fluoride if it enters the body. Sea water contains fluoride at nontoxic levels, and when it's evaporated the salts are probably too complicated to analyze. At 08:00 PM 12/1/99 +1300, you wrote: >Dear Ray: >Can you clear up a controversy. We all " know " that sodium fluoride is dangerous, and contributes to mottled teeth, brain damage, probably liver >toxicity. Do you know if calcium fluoride also has any toxic aspects. Does sea water or seaweed contain a free fluorine or would it be in a salt form of either calcium or sodium or some other salt?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 1999 Report Share Posted December 2, 1999 Earl, I'm pleased, but actually surprised, that your friend confirmed the truth of what I was saying. For every expert you can find who will give you honest facts about fluoride, there are thousands who will give you the party line. What we've been discussing is probably one of the most misunderstood aspects of fluoride. While calcium fluoride, due to it's insolubility, seems to be less toxic than the other fluoride compounds, all fluorides can be toxic, or become toxic over time, if consumed in sufficient quantities. (I say 'seems' because the studies I've seen only address skeletal fluorosis but not potential soft tissue damage.) The 'toothpaste commercial' propaganda has trained us to think of fluoride as a friend, but that's hardly the case. Another aspect of fluorides that is not widely understood, is that only about 50% can be excreted, while the other 50% becomes incorporated in body tissues, especially bone, tooth, and cartilage tissue. As we grow older, this burden of toxic accumulation begins to take a toll in the form of ostoporosis, bone fractures, arthritis, gum disease, tooth loss, chronic fatigue, allergies, fibromyalgia, obesity, alzheimer's, hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), hypothyroidism, cancer, and other disease processes. There are also truly frightening data indicating that fluoride is implicated in anorexia, bulemia, fertility problems, miscarriage, birth defects, learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism to name a few. If this sounds far fetched, all I can say is start reading the literature. If anything, I think that we have underestimated the toxic potential of fluorides. To date the body of research done on fluorides has revealed toxic effects on the neurological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, reproductive and developmental processes of the body. It's a crying shame that governmental authorities the world over are being boondoggled into implementing fluoridation. At best, only the grossest negligence on the part of our dental and medical societies could explain their persistent denial of the danger to the public. At worst, we are the victims of a truly ingenious and profitable toxic waste disposal program. In our modern world, we are already getting far too much fluoride. The world over mankind is digging deep into the earth's crust to mine fluorspar and other fluoride containing mineral deposits to satisfy the needs of Industry. Smokestacks pump fluorides into the air, and runoff pumps it into lakes, streams, and oceans. Fluoride compounds are put on our cookware and in our toothpaste. Fluoride levels in foods has skyrocketed due to the use of fluorides as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. The average American is getting levels of fluoride on a daily basis that far exceed the EPA's maximum safe limit. The really great thing about fluoride is that we have a certain amount of control over our risk by simply being aware of the danger. I dream of the day everyone will come to their senses and stop putting fluorides into our water and on our crops. Those steps alone would make such a huge difference in our health. For a quick analysis of the research that has been done on fluoride toxicity you can go to: <A HREF= " http://www.cco.net/~trufax/fluoride/flmaster.html " >Leading Edge Fluoridation Paradigm Analysis</A> http://www.cco.net/~trufax/fluoride/flmaster.html M.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 This is another interesting article: Originally, decay-prevention tests with fluoride were carried out with calcium fluoride, yet sodium fluoride is the chemical added to city water supplies. Sodium fluoride is an extremely toxic by-product of the aluminum industry and was expensive to dispose of until cities were persuaded to put it in the public water for tooth decay prevention. Up until this time, its primary use was as rat poison. After it was approved for use in city water supplies, the price of sodium fluoride went up 1,000% almost overnight. Many tests have been performed with sodium fluoride; some indicate improved teeth while others show a worsening effect. As a result of research in Europe, sodium fluoride treatment of water is now illegal in Sweden, Denmark, and Holland, Germany and Belgium have discontinued their fluoride experiments on the human population, and France and Norway have never found sufficient evidence to warrant water fluoridation. In truth, most tests are difficult to interpret since the mineral content of the water itself is one of the deciding factors. If there is adequate calcium in water, fluoride will form calcium fluoride, which may be of some benefit. Nevertheless, studies indicate that fluoride per se is one of nature's principal aging factors. Undesirable Properties of Sodium Fluoridation: * Inhibits proper functioning of the thyroid gland and all enzyme systems, this makes weight reduction more difficult and is thought to be partially responsible for the abnormal height of some young people, as well as a contributor to very road bottoms. * Damages the immune system. Serious disorders that may first arise are sclera derma, lupus, and various forms of arthritis. Ultimately, the likelihood of cancer and other degenerative conditions is increased. * Sodium fluoride in public water is usually in quantities of one part per million. According to principles of homeopathic medicine, this concentration of fluoride can be a potent pathogen when used regularly. Fluorine and its compounds in food are entirely different from chemically produced sodium fluoride. Once an element is extracted from the soil and incorporated into plant life, its properties change greatly. Fluorine compounds in food, for instance, have important nutritional functions. The combination of organic calcium and fluorine creates a very hard surface on teeth and also in the bones. This is why, when there is tooth decay, we assume a fluorine shortage. Also, fluorine helps protect the entire body from the invasion and proliferation of germs and viruses. Fluorine in food is volatile and evaporates with cooking, sodium fluoridated water, in contrast, loses no fluoride with heat. One of the most concentrated sources of fluorine is goat's milk. Other sources are seaweed, rice, rye, parsley, avocados, cabbage, and black-eyed peas; herbs high in fluorine include juniper berries, licorice, lemon grass, bancha tea twigs, and other tea plants. > Flouride > > For those of you who are interested..... > > > A crack appears in the fluoride front -- After surveying the growing > evidence, > a high-profile advocate has second thoughts about the safety of fluoride. > > By Downey Special to the Toronto Star April 25 , 1999 > > Two years ago, parents in the United States began noticing the word poison > on > their toothpaste tubes.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I just did a simple google search and tons of stuff came up. I just typed 'fluoride and thyroid'. ----Original Message Follows---- From: " wolf4lady " <junk13@...> Reply-hypothyroidism hypothyroidism Subject: Re: any ideas helpful Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 18:39:22 -0000 Carol, Unfortunately, no, I do not know of a link off the top of my head--I think my cousin may (she's an herbalist) and she was the first person to mention to me that fluoride suppresses thyroid. I have, however, seen it in many places since, but I can't remember where. I am going to email my cousin about it and see if she knows? I'll let you know what she says. And --I'm glad we don't agree on everything on this board--it gives us all more options to look into if one thing doesn't work! Very scary about estrogen in the water (yet another thing that suppresses thyroid--and explains how it is that I have cancer cells of the cervix and uterus in only one year since my last normal pap! Estrogen is known for acclerating the growth of cancerous cells in women--hence the government SUSPENDED studies about hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women due to the jump in cancer cases in women with HRT.)

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 wonder if you bookmarked the site where you found this information. If so, could you pass it along? I didn't keep it, but did a search, and I think this is it. I see quite a few people are quoting it in their own sites. http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2005/05/17/fluoride_to_make_prisoners_stup\ id_docile.htm May 14, 2005 I see from re-reading that I got two things slightly mixed up. Warning: This may be disturbing content to some readers. " To whom it may concern: I, Oliver Goff, . . . attended Communist underground training schools . . . schooled in the art of revolutionary overthrow of the established Government. . . discussed quite thoroughly the fluoridation of water supplies and how we were using it in Russia as a tranquilizer in the prison camps. The leaders ...felt that if it could be induced into American water supply, would bring about a spirit of lethargy in the nation; ..keep general public docile during steady encroachment of Communism. ...keeping a store of deadly fluoride near water reservoir advantageous during revolution,...opportunity to dump poison into water supply and either kill off populace or threaten them with liquidation, so that they would surrender to obtain fresh water. . . it was felt by leadership that if program of fluoridating the water could be carried out ....go a long way toward the advancement of the revolution. " Oliver Goff, 1957 ............. In scheme, sodium fluoride will in time reduce individual's power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotising certain area of brain, ....make him submissive to will of those who wish to govern him.

" At end of Second World War, United States Government sent Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, ... vast Farben chemical plants in Germany. " ... told by the German chemists of scheme worked out by them during war and adopted by German General Staff. .. to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water. In this scheme, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place. " Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotising a certain area of the brain and will thus make him submissive to will of those who wish to govern him. " Both Germans and Russians added sodium fluoride to drinking water of prisoners of war to make them stupid and docile. " ... chemical engineer, Mr. Perkins, related how immediately after Second World War he was one of Americans put into well-known I.G. Farben Company in Germany. There he discovered I.G. Farben had developed plans during war to fluoridate occupied countries, because ...fluoridation caused slight damage to specific part of brain. This damage had a very particular effect...more difficult for the person affected to defend his freedom. he became more docile towards authority. " Scientists in camps of both opponents and proponents of fluoride have always dismissed this story as mere poppycock, but it had a life of its own and reared its head time and again. It fed the suspicions of many people that 'there was more to fluoridation than meets the eye'. " As far as I know, there is no one who has done any serious research into whether the fluoridated person is really more docile, easier to rule, more impressed by authority than the non-fluoridated ones. There is, though, one peculiar thing: every Dutch doctor has a medical reference book .. heading, " major tranquillisers " . .. seven of them are a fluoride compound. ...Semap. ..one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances ...twenty-five per cent of major tranquillisers connected with fluoride...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 While political discussion are a no-no for this list, I feel I need to say something here. In the 1950s there was a lot of demonizing of the communists. Propaganda (lies) were told. Agent provocateurs would infiltrate groups and make statements which were later attributed to the communists. Now, I am not a communist. And I sure do not favor fluoride in my drinking water. But it sure seems to me like Oliver Goff could well either be a made-up person, or someone who is trying to make the communists look particularly evil. These days it is popular to do smear campaigns against Moslems for political reasons. There are people who like to demonize some external foe to remove scrutiny of the creepy stuff going within the US.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Before we get too carried away on the anti-big business stuff, let's just remember the history of fluorides. It was observed nearly 100 years back by dentists in certain communities that a lot of the local population had mottled teeth, which was perceived as being unsightly. Then they did a few statistics and found that these people's teeth were a lot stronger and they had much fewer cavities and fillings. Investigations showed that the key factor was high natural levels of fluoride in the water. The push to get fluorides in toothpaste came jointly from the dental profession (with the laudable aim of reducing the number of fillings they had to do) and consumers. Fluoridation of water was proposed in quite a lot of communities in the UK and Europe as well as the US/Canada. I don't think many adopted it; there was some uncertainty, but also more of a feeling on cost grounds that it was wasteful to fluoridate a whole water supply when most of it would go down baths, sinks, toilets, hosepipes etc. Fluoride toothpaste seemed a more sensible way to go as it was directed at the specific area that needed it. The composition of " salt " is always going to vary depending on its source. Any salt from anywhere (rock or sea) will contain mainly chloride, but also greater or lesser amounts of fluoride, bromide and iodide, besides countless other things. They are all very closely chemically related (halides, compounds of halogens) and can't easily be separated from each other. The chemical similarity would also the reason why high levels of fluoride have been reported to give " goitre " effects (low thyroid due to iodine deficiency). Normally the levels required are far beyond those which one could ingest in salt in food - but I guess salt baths and salt lamps could give you a higher dose. Difficult to know without actually measuring it, and testing the individual impact it has on your body. For anyone with hypothyroidism, though, (and this seems to be the case with quite a lot of ME/MCS/ES people), it does seem to be something to consider. Incidentally, brine baths, Dead Sea baths/mudpacks, and sea bathing will all give similar effects of exposure to a wide range of halides but evidently most people do not suffer any problems from them.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Ah, but what is fluor? Certainly not sodium fluoride! Much of the argument I have seen against fluoride has been based on confusion between fluorine (the halogen, poisonous, active, greenish-yellow gas) and fluoride (halide compound). It's the same as if one said that chlorine gas is very poisonous (which it is) and was used by the Nazis to kill people in the gas chambers (which it was - it was also the main poison gas used in World War 1) that we should avoid all chlorides. The chemical relationship between them is precisely the same as for fluorine and fluoride. OK - except that sodium chloride is the main constituent of table salt, sea salt and salt lamps!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Ian...water fluoridation proposal? Are you in Canada or the US? Canada Fluoridates. US Fluoridates. Most NA has adopted water fluoridation because it is cheap. My area started fluoridating in late 1980s. As far as what is reported to the WHO, only cities in Canada and the US DO fluoridate. No European countries fluoridate their water. The actual use of fluoride in products does NOT have 100 year history. At best....maybe 40. Fluorine is a naturally occuring element that was synthesized for use in commercial and industrial uses. Fluorine...the stuff that is naturally occuring in the earth has 9 protons and 10 nuetrons and when exposed to the atmosphere it is a COLOURLESS orderless gas. When coal is expposed to the processing cycle to make electricity, fluorine is the by-product. It is compressed in the coal. Fluorine, in my industry (oil & gas analysis), and I would suspect in most industries is considered a hydrocarbon. It is a constiuent in all fossil fuels...oil, gas, coal. Volcaoes emit fluorine gas, along with a host of other gases. Earth quakes emit fluorine gas. When Fluorine is in the atmosphere it combines with other airborne molecules and forms other gases that can have attributes of colour etc. When fluorine is exposed to sunlight it becomes hydrogen fluorine. The fluoride we use.....it is used in plastics, cooking products (teflon), household cleaning products, transmission fluid, jet liner fluid is stabalized with fluoric acid so it does not freeze at high altitudes. Fluoride is used in most poisons, herbacides...is it the primary constiuent in compound 1080...which by the way a BIG load is missing from Nebraska I think. That is the compound the germans discovered to quickly eliminate the rats in germany. It was very effective. It is used in medicine...like vioxx, celebrex, prozac, anesthetics, oh this list is too long for here. Let me see, they use fluoridated water to reconstitute juice. In Canada, our Health Ministry issued a report about baby formula....a toxc cocktail that should bear a warning label. Canada could not PUBLISH that report in the US. Blocked by manufacturers. Who makes baby formula? There is fluoride in baby formula. Oh...US munitions are made from Uranium Hexa-fluoride. Gets real hot to pierce the tanks. Drip...drip....drip....adding a drop a day of fluoride from multiple sources puts most North Americans in the range of exposure between 10 to 20 mg a day. There are reports on what that quantity did to rats. DuPont has published this. Most of the ES symptoms discussed on this board are attributable to a calcium channel blocking agent. That is what electricty and light does. At various concentrations of course.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi , Yep, most of this is correct (and I do apologise that this is of course an extremely sensitive subject for you because of your nightmare experience with fluoric acid which has affected your whole life - I read your story with horror when you joined the group). But as I said, you can say similar things for chlorides, bromides, oxides, nitrates etc ... the atom must always be in its context. Chlorine and hydrogen chloride are nasty substances, almost as bad as fluorine and HF, but that does not mean we should be scared of all chlorides or the things that contain them. Couple of points. I am in the UK, hence it is " proposals " to fluoridate water (which have been considered locally rather than nationally). Fluorine is (as you point out) an element, so it is not a hydrocarbon, which is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. And that, incidentally, means that every atom of fluorine is natural and has been around since the earth began, 99.99%+ in the form of fluorides, as fluorine is so incredibly reactive that it does not stay as the element for very long. A fluoride is simply a chemical compound containing one or more fluorine atoms.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 First hello all, I hope this is one of your better days for everyone. The fluoride combined with things can be hydrocarbons: " ...yielding systems that are capable of detecting fluoridated hydrocarbons (perfluorocarbons --PFCs)... " http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:_4Ylt- v20wMJ:www.arl.noaa.gov/pubs/online/corereview/programs.pdf+fluoridate d+hydrocarbons & hl=en & gl=us & ct=clnk & cd=1 -This is a pretty interesting page actually, talks about mercury in the air about half way down as well. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=9663733 & dopt=Abstract 1of6 fluoridated hydrocarbons. For anyone wanting to know more about fluoride all around, http://fluoridealert.org/ will keep you busy for days. The best info. comes from the far east and India it seems. After all, they don't see it as healthy. Sodium fluoride or whatever combination, is toxic, that one particularly is carcinogenic. No we can't avoid it on this planet, but we can certainly reduce deliberate exposures. I have a friend who is trying to get me a sample tested in Guyana to get water tested for a fluoride level. It causes lower female cancers even at very low levels, but of course we in the west haven't tested for that, openly anyhow. They have a very high level of cervical cancer there, and that is one possible reason. I hope they're able to get me the results. It all depends on each individuals load they can take, not only of that, but all toxins, when it is given in smaller doses. When it's reached, we fall apart. When all toddlers tested but ONE came back with over 200 chemical residues in their systems, there's a good start on a load that shouldn't even exist at that age. The one, was raised on a strictly organically grown diet. Even that has pollutions in it these days, depending what they looked for. I doubt fluoride level was one. A problem I see with fluoride, for us here, is that it so binds to aluminum, and it crosses blood/brain barrier. Excess aluminum for alzheimer's, there's one way it gets crossed over, plus that people have mentioned here recently how glutens and emf's open that barrier as well. We are/becoming electrical conductors, in body, and mind, far more than what we were naturally intended. Just time before even more reach this critical load. ~ Snoshoe > > Hi , > > Yep, most of this is correct (and I do apologise that this is of course an > extremely sensitive subject for you because of your nightmare experience > with fluoric acid which has affected your whole life - I read your story > with horror when you joined the group).

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ian, thank you for the thoughts. I wouldn't say I was " over " sensative to this issue. Despite my experience. It is my professional opinion, I feel after 20 years in the business and educational experience in the area (University Degree - Canadian) I feel entitled to make one.....if there were a " Grandfather " of all the elements it would be Fluorine. All chemicals are dangerous. Exposure to most causes dire and severe consequances to the human body. Fluorine as it is compressed in coal IS a considered what the petroleum industry calls a polyarmohydrocarbon. Fluorine is pervasive in its natural source...that being a " product " of fossil fuel carbon sources. All gases, I would contend, that eminate from this source would contain a fluorine attribute. It would bond in some way. Fluorine is what makes the earth's core hot. The molecular movement, which by itself is somewhat unique because of its structure, keeps the lava molten. The lava acts like cartilage between the plates of the earth. The lines in the press get " slurred " between fluorine and fluoride. The correct name for the chemical put into water for " purification " (HAHAHAHAH) purposes is mostly in the form of hydrofluorosilicic acid). What is used in toothpaste is sodium fluoride. This being said, it is recognised by all industry reporting standards that hydrogen fluoride is regulated as a hazardous and toxic pollutant that requires special consideration for disposal and storage. The petroleum industry uses it pervasivly for refining petroleum products. I don't want to get into a debate about fluoride. From my position, any debate is moot because I am not an experiment about what MIGHT happen. I live it. It is pretty hard to deal with position about what will NOT happen when it is happening right in front of you. Even Harvard University....talk about prestigious...has a recent report that associated fluoridation in young boys to a sevenfold increased risk of osteosarcoma. It is not widely published as the dental school is associated with Colgate. Conflict of interest is immediately apparent. I am kind of on a " live and let live " cycle here.....what happened to me happened quickly. The only difference between what is happening to me and those big boys who make decisions to fluoridate water is that ...it happens to them too...only slowly. AND....a bigger difference is that so far...I know what to do to make me feel better....

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 , thanks for the clarifications, I guess being a degree level chemist/chemical engineer myself, I like to be precise on the exact nature of chemicals and their effects - maybe too pedantic at times! Certainly I would never want to play down the dangers of hydrofluoric acid itself which are well known (I remember my father, a chemistry teacher, showing us at school a picture of a lab worker who had had a pinhole in her rubber glove and whose finger was reduced inside a minute to a charred stump). I must admit I found it hard to understand (if I correctly interpreted your original posts some weeks back) how the company seemed to have managed to evade responsibility and compensation for the damage you were caused, since the symptoms sound (unfortunately) classic poisoning by HF or similar. (Please note I also did not at any time say you were " over " sensitive on this).

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 You are welcome, Ian. My father was an engineer too, structural. Petroleum engineering is a new breed since my father went to school. I put that " over " into quotes like that because although it was not said it seemed to translate back that way. I admit....after what I have been through...I am pretty darn amazed that all I am is just " oversensative " to this issue. Most would have a target in the crosshair and be bee spitting mad...if bees spit of course. Which I guess they do when you think they have to suck out that nectar and all. *(Hey...we women do that...change subjects like that just to throw you boys off. Just adding a bit of brevity here, Ian.) As for that coal company, I was NOT an employee, I was a private consultant on contract carrying my own insurance. Insurance in Canada, so I have learned, is a complicated thing. You know, being a chemical engineer, you can see where if that coal mine...drag line stripped was big enough, the contamination area from the exposed coal being destabalized would be enourmous! Maybe that is why kids are dropping dead up there. Right on the football fields and ice rinks. There is a rash of facial cancer here too...hmmmm....we are also reporting incidents of rare and almost unheard of autoimmune diseases such as Still's disease and Scleraderma. There has been a rash of suicides, thyroid, multiple sclerosis, lymphoma, liver cancers...in fact, our local grocery store, Safeway, was offering FREE anemia screening clinics. Hmmmm...this is Canada here, Ian, NOT even Canada offers healthcare for free. Becoming anemic is classic symptom of radiation exposure. Let me see, there are young women, my age falling asleep and not waking up. Strange drug interactions and reported deaths in hospital. I don't know...call me silly.....call me a polly anna...but if I am mistaken I am more than willing to cough up a most humble apology...but my best professional opinion is that was a serious mine accident. One that affected more than just me. Once they get over the radiation exposure consequences...the government here might find cause...oh in about 20 or 30 years when our death rate dramatically increases and children are still being born with rare bone diseases...maybe then they might figure this out. But then again maybe not. Going through something like this changes a body, Ian....I approached the coal mine, had a long talk with the director....practically his whole family has died...his wife, a colleague who was at the mine also is suffering the cancer. As for my symptoms, sadly, they are classic...right down to the brown mottling on the teeth and the lucency in my bones by x-ray. The teeth came rather quick. I always had good teeth and it bothers me. One thing I should point out, that mottling only makes the teeth strong for a short period of time, eventually the bone just goes away. Like dust. The extra fluoride zaps the water. Oh well.....I appreciate the board for the expression of this information. Be it ever so controversial. Ian....you are a good sport. No harm. No foul.
