Chlorine... is a known carcinogen... Fluoride is not that whoopy either...The following is from an article about fluoride... and I find it quite interesting. "Fluoridation of our municipal waters has been a very controversial subject for some time now....Here are the facts about fluoride....Fluoride inhibits enzyme production. Fluoride causes iodine deficiencies. Fluoride causes congenital defects in plant and grains from seed exposure. Fluoride causes coronary disease, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarctions, and fibrosis in otherwise healthy animals. Fluoride damages chromosomes and causes mongoloidism in the fetus. In 1990, eighty-eight million pounds of fluoride was shipped to municipal water works.There is obviously no reason for this carcinogen in our water supplies.As previously mentioned, a critical problem cause by fluoride is the fact that it also blocks the iodine receptors in the thyroid gland. Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are chemically known as halogens. The chemical relationship of these elements may result in a reduced amount of thyroxine, which is much needed for a healthy thyroid gland.

If you live in a municipal area that has fluoridated water you may choose to get a filter specifically designed for fluoride removal for your home. Remember to filter the bath and shower also. Bathing and showering allows an increase in absorption of this chemical into the body due to the skin being permeable and our largest organ. Purifying water by distillation or reverse osmosis are effective methods in removing fluoride. Please note that fluoride is only concentrated when water is boiled, as for making tea, coffee, soups, etc.

Sodium fluoride has been used as a rat poison. It is found in toothpaste, mouth rinses, and store bought juices as well as the municipal water supply systems. Fluorine is known to accumulate in body tissue, is cumulative in the brain and may inhibit normal brain development.

According to Hanna Kroeger the use of sodium fluoride in our toothpaste disables the immune system, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, and parotid glands for a period of 12 hours. When we brush our teeth twice a day we have compromised our immune system for the entire day. This fluoride enters the body, passes through and accumulates in the kidneys and other places where this toxin is not needed. There is enough sodium or stannous fluoride in a seven ounce tube of toothpaste to kill a twenty pound child. Many behavioral changes have been noted immediately after some children brushed their teeth with a fluoride toothpaste. Please check your tooth paste!140 grams of fluoride per person are dumped into our environment each year. If we multiply this number by the number of people in our country who drink fluoridated water, we have twenty-billion lethal doses being placed into our environment wherever standard fluoridation is utilized. That equals ten million tons of rat poison spread across America.Please read the following quote from a Yearbook of Agriculture 1939 article. The article is entitled "Mineral Needs of Man" and clearly states that fluorine in our water supplies is a hazard to our health and to the health of our children.

"In contrast to the tendency to iodine deficiency, too much fluorine in the water supply is detrimental. Fluorine has been shown to be the cause of a disfiguring dental disease known as mottled enamel or fluorosis. Fluorine interferes with the normal calcification of teeth during the process of their formation, so that affected teeth, in addition to being usually discolored and ugly in appearance, are structurally weak and deteriorate early in life. For this reason, it is especially important that fluorine be avoided during the period of teeth formation, that is from birth to the age of 12 years."

We have discussed how detrimental and dangerous the addition of fluoride is to our water systems. How many of you or someone that you know have taken a drug or compound more commonly known as Prozac?

The symptoms produced by this drug and exposure to fluoride are very similar. The reason being, and this is no coincidence, Prozac is also known as Fluoxetine Hydrochloride, a fluoride containing compound. Luvox, or Fluvoxamine, is very similar to Prozac. Both of these drugs have three molecules of fluoride in their chemical make-up. Brain levels of Luvox are 100 times higher than serum levels. Fifteen teenagers recently died at a high school in Littleton, Colorado when two of these teenagers were accused of perpetrating a mass murder by going on a shooting spree. According to the news, thirteen children were murdered and then the two aggressors turned the guns on themselves and committed suicide. At least one of these teenagers was on the drug Luvox and was under psychiatric care.

Susan Pare, President for the Center for Health Action, stated the following conclusion: "Based upon conclusive evidence that fluoride causes cancer in laboratory animals and coupled with the fact that recent federal and international studies show that water fluoridation does not reduce tooth decay, it’s a mystery to us why fluoridation is still being practiced and promoted."

Head of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto, also a spokesman for the Canadian Dental Association for more than 12 years, Dr. Hardy Limeback, DDS, Ph.D., has announced that he no longer supports the fluoridation of drinking water. Dr. Limeback also stated that fluoride accumulates in the bones and that more money is spent treating the problems arising from dental fluorosis than would have been saved from the reduced decay, if there was reduced decay.

I hope you are now convinced or at least have seen enough to raise questions in your own mind to find more information for yourself on the dangers of fluoridation" (end of article)


Can you say FILTERED WATER???
