Fluoride has been in the news a lot lately. Why? Because fluoride is bad for you. Surprise, surprise. That's something I've known for a few years.
At every well check, the pediatrician always asks if our water contains fluoride. We live in a rural area and get our water from a spring, so no fluoride in our water. I've always said no and they never said anything. After about 4 years of asking and being told no, the ped suddenly said the boys needed fluoride supplements. I said ok and gave them a full prescriptions worth of fluoride. The refills ran out and I forgot to ask at the next well check for a refill. After that I did a little research to see if they really needed it and came across articles from natural health experts warning against fluoride use.
Now there are articles from mainstream sources about avoiding fluoride because the CDC has issued a warning. Apparently there has been a sudden rise in cases of fluorosis in kids 12 to 16. Flourosis is streaking and white spots on teeth.
Topical use of very small amounts of fluoride help reduce tooth decay, but ingestion of fluoride is a different story.
Besides fluorosis, fluoride ingestion has been shown to cause cancer, premature birth, osteoporosis, reduced intelligence, brain damage, infertility, joint pain, just to name a few things.
Public water has added fluoride. The CDC now recommends the amount of fluoride in public water be lowered. According to natural health experts, it is a step in the right direction, but is not enough. Fluoride needs to be completely eliminated.
Fluoride is not a naturally occuring mineral. It is a toxic waste byproduct of phosphate mining. It used to be released into the air, which resulted in cattle and crop deaths. Something called wet scrubbers were then used to collect the fluoride. Fluoride comes from the wet scrubbers and is sold to be dumped into public water supplies.
Formula fed babies are full of fluoride because the water used to make the formula contains fluoride. Fluoride absorption also occurs when you take a shower a bath using water which contains fluoride. Pretty scary.
If your water contains fluoride, it might be a great idea to install water filters to filter out the fluoride
. Your health and your children's health depend on it.

I’m co-ordinator for West Midlands Against Fluoridation in the United Kingdom (Coventry, England). Here in England, there are 6 million of us who are compulsorily fluoridated.
The website gives lots of information on fluoridation. The stuff you get in your water is the same stuff which is put into our water. So we’re fighting the same battle.
Please have a look at my website for useful information on how to fight this very unwise negative health intervention.
With best wishes
