"Talk to your pediatrician about alternatives to conventional fluoridated toothpaste, as recent research has caused scientists to question the benefits of fluoride in the public water system. fluoride might be both ineffective and dangerous, linked to health effects as serious as a rare bone cancer in boys; for more information on this ongoing debate, visit the fluoride Action Network (www .fluoridealert.org). As a safe alternative, we like Jason organics for Wyatt. And for babies, I recommend getting a Tummy Tub from the New Zealand company Nature Baby (www.naturebaby.co.nz)." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Fluoride has been found to stimulate bone formation, but the bones become poorly mineralized and brittle. fluoride is also toxic to the rest of the body. Dr. Leo Spiro, who was awarded a degree in recognition for his research on fluoridation by London University, says that fluoride damages brain and nerve cells, is harmful to reproductive organs, affects the thyroid gland, damages the liver, and creates a high incidence of bone fracture. He adds that, "We cannot prophecy what would happen to the organs of the body if it were subjected to constant doses of fluoride for a lifetime." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"Some children are prescribed fluoride tablets or given fluoride treatments at their dentists' offices or at school. Some of these children are benefited by removing all sources of fluoride. Additionally, vitamin and mineral supplements, such as magnesium, may be quite helpful. "Homeopathy can also be extremely useful. I saw one little boy who suffered from recurrent ear infections and was hyperactive." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"You need to filter aluminum, heavy metals such as lead, benzenes from petrochemical pollution, chlorine, fluoride, and parasites such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, which aren't killed by water plant treatment. (You will need a special filter to get rid of fluoride, but if you have arthritis, heart disease, or osteoporosis, it may be worth it. fluoride is nearly everjwhere in our food and water, so what we get in the water supply becomes excessive, contributing to the above chronic diseases. Adults do not need fluoride! We recommend that at the very least you use a non-fluoride toothpaste." - Marc R. Rose, Michael R. Rose, Save Your Sight!

"The main reason is the presence of fluoride in most toothpaste products; fluoride can be highly toxic, even if it does help to prevent cavities when applied topically to your teeth. But the warning could also apply to some other common ingredients contaminating toothpastes. In a court settlement little-noticed outside of California, the state where the lawsuit was filed, the Procter & Gamble Manufacturing Company conceded in the summer of 2005 that its Crest brand of toothpaste products contained high levels of lead." - Samuel S.

"It is difficult to state the fluoride content of green tea bags or extracts because of variable fluoride content. Generally, the younger the tea leaves, the less fluoride and the more antioxidant polyphenols it contains. [J Agriculture Food Chemistry 52: 4472-76, 2004] There are false claims that green tea, by virtue of its vitamin K content (vitamin K is a blood clotting vitamin), may interfere with blood thinners. But the amount of vitamin K in green tea is negligible. Studies show that green tea inhibits the utilization of vitamin Bl (thiamin)." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Different amounts of fluoride were fed to pregnant rats, weaning rats, and 3-month-old adult rats. fluoride exposure caused sex and dose specific behavioral deficits with a common pattern. Prenatal exposure produced hyperactivity, while after birth exposure caused cognitive defects. The severity of the effect was directly related to plasma levels and to accumulation in the brain. Plasma levels which caused these changes are seen in humans ingesting 5-10 ppm fluoride in drinking water and during fluoride therapy for osteoporosis." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C), Healing Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders (Get the book.)

"And if you have kids already, know that fluoride could contribute to health problems that researchers are only just beginning to understand. While it does reduce cavities, fluoride might also promote much more serious health problems, including a rare bone cancer in boys. So get an inexpensive filter for your drinking water, as well as the water you use for bathing and cooking. As much as possible, try to cut back on your bottled-water habit." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Numerous plants contain naturally occurring fluorine or fluoride compounds. The hideous version of fluoride that is added to drinking water in so many parts of the world is the poison we ought to protect ourselves against. "Fluoride, once touted as an osteoporosis treatment, is, in fact, toxic to bone cells," says John R. Lee M.D." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately much of our water supply is contaminated with microbes, pesticides, plastics, metals, chlorine, fluoride' (yes, fluoride), and other toxins. So drinking water out of the tap is less than ideal. The best water to drink is water that has been passed through a filtering process. Common and inexpensive filters, such as carbon filters like the ones Brita makes, are available. See The UltraMind Solution Companion Guide for water-filter suggestions." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"So the sodium fluoride in your cup of tea is of much greater concern than the natural fluoride in the tea itself. Excessive fluoride intake can lead to hyperthyroidism. If you have been diagnosed with this disorder you should consult with a doctor of Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine or an ND (doctor of naturopathic medicine) who is knowledgeable about nutrition and its effects on the body's endocrine glands. Gingko Biloba—Brain Food; And Coenzyme Q10 I also recommend Gingko Biloba, available at most health food stores. Guarana and Gingko seem to complement each other." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"If so, it may be a sign of enamel fluorosis, an overexposure to fluoride from fluorinated drinking water, toothpaste, and oral rinses. In mild cases, the spots are small, whitish, and opaque. As the problem gets worse, the spots become brown and the teeth look mottled. While this condition often starts during childhood when developing teeth are exposed to too much fluoride, the brown stains SIGN OF THE TIMES 4f""jfc., In the first century B.C., the vKF-H? Roman author and philosopher Pliny the Elder recommended goat feet ashes to clean teeth." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Avoid fluoride (avoid toothpaste with fluoride and filter your water).2 It has been linked to thyroid problems. SUPPORT YOUR THYROID: MEDICAL-CARE PLAN TESTING FOR THYROID PROBLEMS 1. Testing should include all the thyroid hormones (TSH, freeT3, and free T4) and thyroid antibodies (TPO and antithyroglobulin antibodies). Most doctors just check TSH, which is inadequate to identify mild problems. 2. Further testing may be necessary and is described in The UltraMind Solution Companion Guide." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"The researchers concluded that fluoride accumulates in body tissue and may eventually cause cancer and/or other fatal diseases (HSRI 2001). Dr. Michael B. Schachter, M.D., reported that fluoride is more toxic than lead on a weight-to-weight basis. Nevertheless, a 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel applied for 4 minutes in a tray or a 2.25% fluoride varnish (Duraflor) applied directly to the teeth can be useful in controlling rampant tooth decay. Applications can be repeated every 6 months if necessary (Carsons et al. 1998). 7." - The Life Extension Editorial Staff, Disease Prevention and Treatment (Get the book.)

"To dispose of fluoride in any other way would be extremely costly. Animals that naturally ferment their foods in their stomach before absorbing them can break down the enzyme inhibitors soy contains and thus make use of the proteins contains. Not all foods that grow on this planet are beneficial for human beings. In fact, animals inhabited the planet long before humans did, and therefore most foods were actually designed to feed and sustain the animal kingdom." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Do not use chewable vitamin C, which is highly acidic and may damage tooth enamel. 6. fluoride treatments can assist in controlling dental caries. A caveat surfaced, however, regarding fluoride, when the government investigated 156 cancer deaths occurring over a 3-year frame. The researchers concluded that fluoride accumulates in body tissue and may eventually cause cancer and/or other fatal diseases (HSRI 2001). Dr. Michael B. Schachter, M.D., reported that fluoride is more toxic than lead on a weight-to-weight basis.

"Use a water filter that takes out fluoride. Electromagnetic radiation: Electromagnetic radiation interferes with the body's own electromagnetic field and undermines basic intercellular communication. Remove all electrical appliances or equipment from the bedroom, including electric blankets and electrical alarm clocks. By placing a larger Ionized Stone (see Other Products and Services by the Author at the end of the book) in, above, or below the fuse box in your house, many of the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation are nullified.

"CHAPTER 13 Minor Trace Minerals Iodine, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, fluoride, Chromium, Molybdenum, Lead, and Mercury Iodine Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. Iodine is a non-metallic trace element that is essential for nutrition. The chemical symbol for iodine is the letter I. Iodine is the name of the element in food and iodide is the name of the ion form found in the body. Only tiny amounts of dietary iodine are needed. Over geologic time, iodine has washed out of soils and into the ocean." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"While all soft drinks containing fluoride will leach aluminum from the can, diet sodas may be worse than regular sodas because the fluoride content, at least in one study, was higher in the diet drinks. Although most aluminum cans now have inner linings, the coating may be defective and can also be fractured during shipping. Furthermore, the longer a canned drink sits, especially at higher temperatures, the more aluminofluoride compound will be created in the drink. This would be a major consideration, for example, in the millions of diet soft drinks donated to soldiers in the Persian Gulf." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)
