The Truth About Fluoride


Have you ever wondered why there are instructions on your toothpaste label which instructs you to call a poison control center if you swallow more than a pea sized portion of toothpaste???
That is because toothpaste contains POISON. That poison is Fluoride.
Originally being added to our water in the 1940s, Fluoride was already known that a percentage of children would develop dental issues. Also worth nothing, the chemicals used to fluoridate water are hazardous by-products of the fertilizer industry.

Many U.S. and Canadian residents are unaware that fluoride is added to their drinking water supplies, and if they are aware they wrongly assume it is safe. There is an abundance of information available on the devastating health effects of fluoride, including damage to soft tissues (brain, kidneys, and endocrine system), as well as teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis) Systemic fluoride has not been shown to reduce cavities or tooth decay to any significant degree.  Fluoridating water is reckless, as you cannot control the dose ingested, or who receives it, and there’s no medical supervision. Water fluoridation clearly violates the medical ethical principle of informed consent





By Dr. Mercola:
Most people are aware that you should not swallow your toothpaste, and many even know this is because of the fluoride it contains. But when it comes to fluoride in drinking water, many are either unaware that it is there, or they trust their government to know―and do―what’s best for them.

Many therefore assume that if the government allows fluoride in their water, it must be safe – but it’s not.

There is an abundance of information available on the devastating health effects of fluoride. If this is news to you, the video above may be hard to swallow (as we hope the fluoride will be, following you viewing it) … but it’s truth that needs to get out.
You’re Being Drugged Without Your Consent

Assuming you live in an area that fluoridates water, and you drink from the municipal water supply, you’re being exposed to a toxic drug-like substance every time you take a sip. Fluoridating water is reckless, as you cannot control the dose ingested, or who receives it, and there’s no medical supervision. Water fluoridation clearly violates your right to informed consent as far as medical decisions go.

There is not a single process in your body that requires fluoride, but swallowing this toxin has been found to damage your soft tissues (brain, kidneys, and endocrine system), as well as teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis). There are more than 100 published studies illustrating fluoride's harm to your brain, plus 25 published studies directly linking fluoride exposure to reduced IQ in children!i

Dr. Bill Osmunson, an avid supporter of fluoride opposition, states:

"No one fixes IQ. This is an irreparable, irreversible damage that's happening to our public. When you look at the bell curve of human distribution of intelligence, at the very bottom, way down there at the end, is what we scientifically call the mentally retarded. When you skew IQ five points down, that means that you're doubling the number of mentally retarded and you're halving the number of gifted and everybody else moves on down."

In a nutshell, everyone drinking fluoridated water on a regular basis is getting less intelligent across the board …

It’s also known that over time fluoride accumulates in many areas of your body, including areas of your brain that control and alter behavior, particularly your pineal gland, hippocampus and other limbic areas. One particularly striking animal study published in 1995ii showed that fluoride ingestion had a profound influence on the animals' brains and altered behavior. Pregnant rats given fluoride produced hyperactive offspring. And animals given fluoride after birth became apathetic, lethargic "couch potatoes."

Did You Know Drinking Fluoride Isn’t Even Good for Your Teeth?

Even if you were willing to risk brain damage and even cancer from drinking so much fluoride, in the event it might spare your teeth from decay … you need to know that systemic fluoride has not been shown to reduce cavities. The early historic studies on fluoridation found that naturally-occurring fluoride also happens to be found in areas that are high in calcium and other minerals. According to Dr. Osmunson, many dentists at the time theorized that this higher mineral content might be the real reason for the reduction in tooth decay.

There were some compelling studies showing that fluoride made teeth harder and more able to withstand acids. However, upon further review of the research literature, Dr. Osmunson realized that the evidence supporting fluoride really wasn't as strong as initially touted, and fluoride did not appear to reduce tooth decay to any significant degree.

In fact, he discovered plenty of scientific evidence showing that areas with LESS fluoride had less decay.

A recent review of 11 studies involving more than 7,000 children likewise showed that the effect of fluoride supplements on primary teeth could not be determined, with one study showing no cavity-reducing effect.iii Meanwhile, the study revealed the supplements have only dubious cavity-reducing effects on permanent teeth, and no difference was noted between fluoride supplements or topical fluoride for preventing cavities.

You’re Drinking a Toxic Industrial Waste Product

Even if you’re already aware that fluoride is in your drinking water, you might not realize that it is not the naturally-occurring variety. It’s not even pharmaceutical grade.

It's a toxic industrial waste product, which is also contaminated with lead, arsenic, radionucleotides, aluminum and other industrial contaminants, and even worse if your municipality is foolish enough to purchase it from China.

The story gets even more convoluted, as declassified files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission show that the original motivation for promoting fluoride and water fluoridation in the United States was to protect the bomb- and aluminum- and other fluoride-polluting industries from liability. In the early days some of the sodium fluoride used to fluoridate water supplies in the U.S. came from Alcoa.

A couple of years later, they switched to the even more hazardous waste product hydrofluorosilicic acid from the phosphate fertilizer industry. But none of the studies on fluoride actually used the far more toxic and contaminated hydrofluorosilicic acid that is added to the water supply. Rather, they use pharmaceutical-grade fluoride, which while harmful, is not quite as bad as what's being used for water fluoridation. So, the health hazards are likely FAR worse than any study has so far discerned.

One early sign of over-exposure to fluoride is dental fluorosis, which typically begins as white specks on your teeth, which then progress to more unsightly yellow and brown mottling of the enamel. At the first signs of dental fluorosis, if you haven't done so already, you'll want to immediately eliminate as many sources of fluoride as possible. Shockingly, 41% of adolescents in the US currently have dental fluorosis from overexposure to fluoride. And remember nearly one-third of the US is NOT fluoridated.
Can You Remove Fluoride From Your Drinking Water?

Fluoride currently contaminates nearly 70 percent of the U.S. public water supplies. Therefore, it is an extreme challenge to limit your exposure even inside the safety of your own home. For people living in areas with fluoridated tap water, fluoride is a part of every glass of water, every bath and shower, and every meal cooked using that water.

You could opt for bottled water, but as a general rule, I don't recommend or encourage using bottled water on a regular basis—for a number of reasons. Not only does it contribute to profound amounts of environmental pollution, but a variety of toxins can leach from the plastic, contaminating your water. Not to mention the fact that you're not guaranteed a more pure product to begin with.

An estimated 40 percent of all bottled water is just bottled tap water that may or may not have received additional water treatment. In fact many bottles waters actually believe fluoride is useful to they add it back in the water! And many others just use filters that do not remove fluoride. So buying bottled water certainly is not a guarantee of getting either pure or fluoride-free water!

For pure drinking water, your best bet, from a practical perspective, is to filter the water coming into your own home. Unfortunately, fluoride can be quite difficult to remove from water once added in. Reverse osmosis systems have typically been recommended to remove fluoride, but according to fluoride activist Jeff Green, many home systems may not be very efficient at this task. Commercial systems are typically much better, as they have redundancy features not found in smaller-scale residential models.

So while you can easily choose not to take fluoride supplements or opt to buy fluoride-free toothpaste and mouthwash, you're stuck with whatever your community puts in the water, and it's very difficult to filter out of your water once it's added. Many do not have the resources or the knowledge to do so.

The only real solution is to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation at the source and become a fluoride-free activist. However this does not mean showing up to your local municipal meetings and lecturing them about the dangers of fluoride. That approach rarely works.
What’s the Best Strategy to Get Fluoride Out of Drinking Water for Good?

A far more effective strategy is to find a champion already on the city council and mentor that person to do their own due diligence, which will eventually allow them to “discover” the truth themselves -- far more effective and far more likely to resist overturning the decision in a future administration.

I recently interviewed Jeff Green, who has been an activist in the movement to eliminate toxic fluoride from your water supply for the past 15 years. One element he addressed is that many of us who are first exposed to issues such as this enter into a world of anger at injustice, where we see the problem so passionately and so clearly that we carry the burden of truth and are in a hurry to tell others to set it right, viewing anyone who does not immediately agree with our view as opposition that must be overwhelmed with facts and a list of "shoulds."

In this state we look angry, and are easily characterized as a zealot, probably because we are. Asking someone without our passion to join us may not be that inviting.

Should we expect that this would be any different when speaking to authorities and asking them to act? If you are able to suspend your anger at injustice, able to switch your focus from stating the problem to addressing solutions, there are avenues available. If you would like to elevate your discussions from the argumentative "he said, she said" to letting the facts declare themselves, and you are in a position of authority from which you can champion the performance of due diligence, contact us for access to guidance and further information.

If you are capable of being an advocate of safe drinking water and would like to assist in identifying a champion for due diligence in your community, contact us for approaches and further information.


Stop fluoride exposure as much as you can. Even though you may have stopped drinking it in your water, many preserved foods contain it.

Second is to start using a sauna regularly. Saunas expel many heavy metals and toxins (including fluoride) from your system. Third, getting enough sunlight daily plays a large role in detoxing the pineal gland. As well as getting enough time in the dark. Sounds strange, I know. But the right balance of light and darkness helps to regulate the melatonin production (the main function of the pineal gland). Fourth is getting enough exercise (which also helps regulate melatonin production). And fifth is doing a raw liver detox. The raw detox is were most people cringe and get turned away. But it is very simple and effective. All that you need to do is drink two cups of tea a day, cut back on preserved foods, and increase your intake of raw foods. Here is the tea recipe that I use:

* 1 thick slice of organic lemon
* 1 piece of fresh organic ginger, 2/3″ long, peeled and bruised
* 1 cup boiling water (Recommended distilled)

Place lemon and ginger in cup. Add boiling water and leave to infuse for two minutes. Remove lemon and ginger and drink immediately.

Using these five methods is very effective! But it is not a quick fix. It took all of that fluoride years to accumulate, and it will take years to get it all out. Everyone is different and can expect different results, but for myself I started to feel a large difference in 3 months. I have now been doing it for 3 years, and have felt great! I am at the point that if I drink a cup of coffee that contains fluoridated water, or eat a processed food that has fluoride, I become physically ill.

Other tips: Eat foods high in iodine. Iodine also allows the release of fluorides from your system.


Detoxifying with Boron, Iodine, and Pure Distilled Water
Boron is a worthy fluoride remover. Adding to your diet foods which are rich in boron, such as raisins, dates, dried apricots, red kidney beans, hazel nuts, brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds and peanut butter, will clean the fluoride out of your system.
It’s also worth noting that Boron has anti-cancer properties. It can wipe out fungus and decrease mycotoxins which are the true cause behind cancer, arthritis, candida and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Another option is iodine. It’s been clinically proven that iodine removes fluoride from your body by flushing out the system through urination. Besides taking an iodine supplement, foods which are high in iodine include sea vegetables (like seaweed), cranberries, yogurt, navy beans, strawberries and dairy products. Since cleansing your body is your goal, it’s always best to buy only the organic varieties when detoxing and thereafter.
Eliminating fluoride with iodine diminishes the calcium in your body, so it is advised to take a highly absorbable calcium/magnesium supplement as well as lecithin (which can be found in egg yolk, milk, legumes, Atlantic cod, salmon, shrimp, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts).
Increasing your iodine intake immediately cleanses your body of bromide, fluoride and many other heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum.
Dry Saunas
When combined with exercise, dry saunas release sodium fluoride stored in fatty tissues by “sweating it out.” It can be intense enough to cause side effects or an occasional healing crisis. In order to combat this, keep your pure distilled water intake high and drink some chickweed tea to protect the kidneys while using a highly absorbable calcium/magnesium supplement. Lecithin is another useful adjunct to this method for fluoride detoxification.
This method should be done on a regular schedule by first exercising vigorously for 30 minutes, followed by hour of sauna time, a cold shower, and another hour of dry sauna time, for a period of two weeks. It’s important to keep in mind that the main goal of this process is to sweat out the toxins as much as possible. Bananas are great to replenish your potassium and avoid eating acidic foods if trying this method of detox. Flood your system with distilled water to compensate for the water loss through perspiration. Salt tablets are helpful to replenish the salt loss.
Avoiding Fluoride
Now that you know how to get fluoride out of your system, how can you keep it out?
Well, first of all, distilled water is the only water which is completely pure and should be the only type of water ingested to keep the fluoride out of your system – whether you’re using the water for cooking or drinking.
Reverse osmosis is another option. It is the only known water-filtration system that can remove fluoride from the water supply in your home. Staying on a strictly organic, non-GMO diet is equally important. Certain foods, like iceberg lettuce, potatoes, citrus fruits and raisins, can contain high amounts of fluoride, and it’s best to avoid them or stick to the organic, non-GMO versions.
Maybe you didn’t have control over the fluoride entering your system or were led to believe that it was actually healthy for you. Now it’s your choice to cleanse your body and say “adios” to fluoride for good!


From Natural News.com:
Toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and uranium are pervasive in much of the environment. While it may not be possible to completely avoid exposure there are many safe, organic and affordable products that help detoxify and eliminate these toxins from the body. This article will provide ten such examples.

1) Bentonite (Clay) - Aluminium Phyllosilicate (Montmorillonite)
Bentonite clay is a form of volcanic ash that has the ability to physically remove from the body up to 25 times its weight in impurities through a process called adsorbtion. Bentonite has laxative properties and contains high levels of iron, magnesium and silicon. Available in two forms (sodium and calcium) bentonite clay is used in cement, ceramics, acne medication, facial clay, cat litter and to clarify wine. Higher grades of clay are safe for ingestion while lower grades are for external use only and thus are of questionable benefit.

2) Bladderwrack (Sea vegetable) - Fucus vesiculosus (Fucaceae)
Bladderwrack is a type of brown seaweed found in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The stem is used medicinally while the thallas (air filled pods) help the algae float. Containing the active components iodine, fucoidan, alginic acid and phenols in varying amounts based on the water where it grew, bladderwrack is used to relieve heartburn and to stimulate both the immune system and thyroid. Bladderwrack has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

3) Blue Green Algae (Cyanobacteria) - Anabaena sphaerica (Cyanophata)
Blue green algae (along with green algae such as Chlorella) contain chlorophyll, an antioxidant and deep green pigment. Bacteria such as Fecal Coliform cannot coexist with chlorophyll, which helps keep fresh water clear. Algae not only contain nearly every required vitamin and mineral, but also have the effect of increasing oxygen while reducing nitrogen and carbon. Chlorella appears to bind to heavy metals to both detoxify and remove them. Studies in Japan following the nuclear disasters at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 showed that 8 grams of Chlorella daily caused a five-fold increase in the amounts of uranium, lead and cadmium that were eliminated.

4) Burdock (Root) - Arctium lappa (Compositae)
A potent blood purifier, burdock root removes heavy metals such as mercury along with other toxins. Containing up to 45% inulin along with arctiopicrin, arctiin, tannins and volatile oil, burdock is used to treat skin conditions such as acne. Burdock helps to purify the liver and is used as a natural cancer treatment. Burdock has antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-tumor properties.

5) Cilantro (Leaf and stem) - Coriandrum Sativum (Umbelliferae)
Cilantro contains the antioxidants camphor, carvone, elemol, geraniol and limonene. A natural deodorizer, cilantro relieves nausea, indigestion and bloating. Consuming cilantro (the seeds of which are the spice coriander) helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Cilantro kills Salmonella and removes heavy metals such as mercury from the body. Cilantro has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and can be easily grown in the home garden.

6) Garlic (Clove) - Allium Sativum (Liliaceae)
Garlic contains the antioxidant allicin, which is formed from alliin and allinase when the cloves are crushed. Garlic helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol while cleansing the liver. Offering unique health benefits when consumed in raw versus cooked or aged, Garlic has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

7) Glutathione (GSH)
Glutathione is a type of amino acid chain called a tripeptide. Glutathione modulates the order of cell life, a process called homeostasis. Glutathione is essential for handling environmental toxins as it detoxifies carcinogens (in particular arsenic) and helps the body to remove heavy metals such as cadmium, iron and mercury. This helps the metabolism and immune system by removing dead weight. GSH has antioxidant properties.

8) Onion (Bulb) - Allium Cepa (Liliaceae)
Onion contains the antioxidant quercetin. Onion relieves allergy symptoms and congestion along with helping reduce cholesterol. Onion can treat and prevent cataracts, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease and helps remove heavy metals from the body. Onion has antimicrobial properties.

9) Selenium (Mineral)
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that functions as an antioxidant and promotes a healthy immune system. Required in remarkably small amounts (the RDA is measured in the millionths of a gram), selenium is highly toxic in larger amounts. Selenium has strong anti-cancer effects and is known to help detoxify the body and remove heavy metals including mercury.

10) Zeolite (Mineral)
Zeolite is a natural combination of volcanic ash and sea water. With a honeycomb-like structure it forms (teeny) tiny cage-like structures that physically trap heavy metals without removing critical minerals. Animal studies show zeolite to actually improve overall nutrition. A patented process purifies zeolite (since it is a heavy metal magnet it is already 'full' when found naturally). Purified zeolite has been shown to help prevent and reverse the growth of cancer cells. While it seems promising, it appears that more independent studies on zeolite are needed as most of the research is published on "Tribute to Zeolite" style web sites that enshrine the product.
