"There does not appear to be any advantage to fluoride supplements, topical fluoride, or fluoridated water in people over the age of 16, as the teeth have hardened by this age. In children and younger teens, topical fluoride treatments seem to reduce tooth decay. INTAKE OF FLUORIDE The major source of fluoride in the United States is fluoridated water. About two-thirds of the population of the United States drinks fluoridated water. The fluoride content of food is extremely low. Only tea and sardines have been found to contain even small amounts of fluoride." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"This is demonstrated by an increase in the number of hip fractures in communities where fluoridated water is consumed.25 While good evidence does show that drinking fluoridated water can reduce the incidence of cavities, an argument can be made that the risks of ingesting fluoride outweigh its benefits. Probably the most effective way to prevent cavities is to eliminate refined sugar from the diet. Aluminum is another toxic metal that is commonly added to municipal water supplies in order to remove particulate matter." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"Opponents to fluoridation contend that when fluoridated water is consumed regularly, toxic levels of fluorine, the poisonous substance from which fluoride is derived, build up in the body, causing irreparable harm to the immune system. The Delaney Congressional Investigation Committee, the government body charged with monitoring additives and other substances in the food supply, has stated "fluoridation is mass medication without parallel in the history of medicine." Meanwhile, no convincing scientific proof has ever been generated that fluoridated water makes for stronger bones and teeth." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"This may be due to the combined fluoride intake from fluoridated water, fluoridated toothpaste, and topical dental fluoride treatments. Summary for Fluoride Main functions: strengthens tooth enamel. Adequate Intakes: adult men, 3.8 mg; adult women, 3.1 mg. Toxicity: very toxic. Tolerable upper intake level is 10 mg for adults. Deficiency may increase risk of dental decay. Sources: fluoridated drinking water. Forms in the body: fluoroapatite in bones and teeth." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Due to our modern diets, processed foods, chlorinated and fluoridated water, pharmaceutical antibiotics, and intestinal toxemia, friendly bacteria populations are greatly reduced in the human intestinal tract. Because of this, they should be reintroduced on a regular basis by supplementing the diet with a probiotic product that is a synergistic formulation of natural and requisite live bacteria. There are many strains of probiotics. Acidophilus and bifidus are the more commonly recognized strains available in healthfood stores. Others, such as L. Salivarius and L. Plantarum are more powerful." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Various food and beverage preparation methods that use fluoridated water may increase the fluoride content in the final food product. Tea contains the highest levels of fluoride of any commonly consumed beverage, because tea leaves naturally attract fluoride. Common products that are subjected to increased fluoride during processing are soda pop, baby food, coffee (especially decaffeinated), canned fish, processed grains, and junk food (another strike against French fries). Even healthy foods, like vegetables, tend to absorb the fluoride when cooked in fluoridated water." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"And, in fact, there are numerous studies that have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association that show a significant increase in hip fractures in areas with fluoridated water. In addition, The New England Journal of Medicine reported that fluoride treatment of osteoporosis patients resulted in higher hip fracture rates." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "It is in soda pop, which is manufactured from fluoridated water. Once you look at the scope of the problem, you realize that there is no way in the wotld to determine what your flouride intake is, but it's far higher than is healthy." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"The number of deaths in fluoridated water areas, according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), is 5 percent higher than in non-fluoridated areas. It is so deadly that in 1979 a dentist was sued for the death of a three-year-old child who swallowed a fluoride rinse. Sodium fluoride is not only in water, but in Diet Coke at 2.96 ppm and in 42 percent of ready-to-drink fruit juices.9 This is probably because they are using fluoridated water where their factories are located." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"These supplies of fluoridated water generally provide 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million of fluoride. In contrast, many teas provide 1.32 to 4.18 parts per million of fluoride. Research into the dental benefits of green tea confirms that green tea does, in fact, reduce the incidence of dental cavities, although researchers believe that the catechins are primarily responsible for the anticaries effect." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"Infants who eat large quantities of dry infant cereals reconstituted with fluoridated water could ingest substantial quantities of fluoride from this source." -Heilman JR, era/. (1997). Journal of the American Dental Association 128(7):857-63. Tea "Another important source of fluoride ingestion is tea... [T]he fluoride content of tea has been found to range from 0.1 to 4.2 ppm fluoride, with an average of about 3 ppm." -Levy SM, Guha-Chowdhury N. (1999). Journal of Public Health Dentistry 59:211-23." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"For those people without access to fluoridated water, fluoride supplements are available in the forms of tablets and drops. These supplements are not available without a prescription. Many non-prescription dental care products contain fluoride as well, including toothpastes and mouthwashes. Fluoride has been used in connection with the following conditions (refer to the individual health concern for complete information): Rating Health Concerns *** Tooth decay (page 431) •k-Cfiz Osteoporosis (page 333) Who is likely to be deficient?" - Alan R.

"If you have cancer or wish to prevent it, make certain to avoid the following things: Chlorinated water; fluoridated water; pesticides and other chemical toxins as found in non-organic foods, commercial beauty products, chemical hair dyes, chemical shampoos and skin lotions; unnatural makeup products; artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame and Splenda; exposure to ionizing radiation (X-rays, mammograms, etc.); alcohol; cigarettes; sunscreens; microwave ovens; pharmaceutical drugs. (Almost all drugs are toxic for the body and can contribute to or directly cause cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends supplementing children in areas without fluoridated water with liquid fluoride drops,23 but this should be done with the guidance of a dentist. Lifestyle changes that may be helpful The ADA recommends regular tooth brushing—daily brushing, ideally after each meal.24 Although thorough brushing varies from person to person, five to ten strokes in each area should be adequate.25 Toothpastes containing 1,000 to 2,500 ppm (1 to 2.5 mg per gram) of fluoride have been shown to reduce caries risk." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D., N.D., The Natural Pharmacy: Complete A-Z Reference to Natural Treatments for Common Health Conditions (Get the book.) "In areas without fluoridated water, a number of controlled trials have found oral use of chewable fluoride tablets (1 to 2 mg per day of fluoride)15,16 or fluoride mouth-rinses (0.05% to 0.2% fluoride content)17,18 also reduce caries risk in children. Fluoride tablets19 and mouthwash20 have been found to be effective for caries prevention in young adults and the elderly. Tablets are slightly more effective than a mouthrinse for caries protection.21 These products should not be used by young children (under three years of age), who might accidentally swallow dangerous amounts of fluoride." - Alan R.

Probably the most effective way to prevent cavities is to eliminate refined sugar from the diet. Aluminum is another toxic metal that is commonly added to municipal water supplies in order to remove particulate matter. In addition, the drinking water in many cities, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Seattle, San Francisco, and Phoenix, contains excessive amounts of lead." - Jonathan V.

Gary Young, N.D." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"On a worldwide level, there has been a lot of disappointment with the use of fluoridated water. People who drink fluoridated city water get about 1 mg. per day from it. Research shows that the amount in the average diet varies widely, depending on choices of foods and water use. Nonfluoridated water users take in between .35 mg. and 1.5 mg. per day, while the average city diet with fluoridated water contains about 2-3 mg. The suggested safe intake of fluoride (not necessarily the optimum, which we really do not know) is between 1.5 and 4.0 mg. per day. Amounts up to 15-20 mg." - Elson M. Haas, M.D., Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Get the book.)

"The validity of the studies that found increased risk of fracture in communities with fluoridated water has been questioned by some scientists.11 A pooled analysis of 29 studies on this issue concluded that there did not appear to be an increased risk of fracture in areas of water fluoridation.12 Dental fluorosis, a brown staining of teeth due to fluoride exposure during childhood, is the best-documented adverse effect of fluoride. At a water fluoride level of 1 part per million (or 1 mg per liter), roughly 13% will have fluorosis to an aesthetically concerning degree." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"According to Charles Perkins, a research chemist who spent twenty years researching fluorine: "Any person who drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of more than one year or more, will never again be the same person mentally or physically."8 According to Dr. Tru Ott, sodium fluoride inhibits more than 100 important enzyme functions in the body and is associated with approximately 50,000 cancer deaths per year. The number of deaths in fluoridated water areas, according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), is 5 percent higher than in non-fluoridated areas." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"Numerous studies have now shown that cities with fluoridated water, when compared to unfluoridated cities, either have no reduction in cavities or the unfluoridated cities have an even lower incidence of caries. If fluoridating the water could reduce the incidence of cavities, then fluoridated San Francisco should have a drastically lower incidence of cavities than unfluoridated Los Angeles. In truth, Los Angeles has a lower incidence of tooth decay than San Francisco. The USPHS used thirty-nine thousand school children to carry out one of the largest U.S." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "Trendley Dean, in which communities with naturally fluoridated water were compared to communities having low levels of fluoride in their water. Bauxite, Arkansas, was chosen as the study city, since it had a natural level of fluoride of 14 ppm. Researchers claimed that Bauxite had a dental caries (tooth decay) rate of 39 percent compared to unfluoridated communities of 65 percent. This sounds very impressive." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "For this reason, any fluoride-containing product in an aluminum container, including fluoridated toothpaste in aluminum tubes, aluminum cans, aluminum cookware, and aluminum-containing foods mixed with fluoridated water, can potentially form the harmful aluminum fluoride compound AIF3. Entry of aluminum into the brain past the blood-brain barrier often involves special carrier molecules or combinations thereof. For example, albumin can carry aluminum into the brain, especially when magnesium deficiency is present." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "A Canadian study found that lead levels were twice as high in fluoridated water systems when compared to unfluoridated systems. A Dartmouth University study of 280,000 children also linked fluoridation with high lead levels in children. This is because fluoride is so reactive it leaches lead from pipes and lead-lined faucet fittings. According to Dr. Robert Carton, who spent twenty years as an EPA scientist, when the cities of Seattle, Washington, and Thermont, Maryland, stopped fluoridating their water, lead levels dropped by half." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Children who have been drinking fluoridated water from birth experience 50 percent to 65 percent fewer cavities than do those living in areas that haven't had fluoridated water. This tapers off through their teen years when they $till have 20 percent fewer cavities than do their peers drinking non-fluoridated water.?1 I Fluoride helps prevent decay simply by making the enamel covering teeth harder as the teeth are formed. Consequently the greatest positive effects of fluoridation are seen in children." - Duncan Long, Attaining Medical Self Sufficiency (Get the book.)

"Eliminate from your lifestyle such items as tobacco, alcoholic beverages (especially beer and wine), caffeine (especially coffee and tea), chlorinated and fluoridated water, and spicy and junk foods. Limit your exposure to pesticides and other environmental contaminants. Q If you have prostatitis, increase your fluid intake. Drink two to three quarts of spring or distilled water daily to stimulate urine flow. This helps to prevents cystitis and kidney infection as well as dehydration. Q Get regular exercise. Do not ride a normal bicycle, however; this may put pressure on the prostate." - Phyllis A.
