"Millions of innocent people have been brainwashed by the aluminum companies to erroneously believe that adding sodium fluoride (their waste by-product) to our drinking water will reduce tooth decay in our children. Americans get sodium fluoride in their drinking water without thinking about it. Sodium fluorine, a chemical "cousin" of sodium fluoride, is used as a rat and roach killer and a deadly pesticide. Yet this deadly sodium fluoride, injected almost by government edict into drinking water in the proportion of 1." - Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation (Get the book.)

"Optimum Dose In very few cases, sodium fluoride is given as a treatment for osteoporosis at a dosage of 25 to 40 mg twice daily. When supplementing with fluoride, one must also take optimal doses of calcium to prevent bone loss at the appendicular skeleton. Except for the prevention of dental carries (controversial), supplementation with sodium fluoride is not recommended because there are much better and safer ways of effectively treating osteoporosis." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Sodium fluoride, a mineral compound available only by prescription, is reported to improve otosclerosis.32'33'34'35 In a preliminary study,36 people with MD and otosclerosis were given supplements of 50 mg of sodium fluoride, 200 mg calcium carbonate, and a multiple vitamin (page 559) supplying 400-800 IU of vitamin D (page 607) per day, for periods ranging from six months to over five years. Many participants also had blood sugar abnormalities, and were asked to follow a modified hypoglycemia diet as described above." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D.

"The synthetic sodium fluoride added to water, on the other hand, remains stable when heated. 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." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Americans get sodium fluoride in their drinking water without thinking about it. Sodium fluorine, a chemical "cousin" of sodium fluoride, is used as a rat and roach killer and a deadly pesticide. Yet this deadly sodium fluoride, injected almost by government edict into drinking water in the proportion of 1.2 parts per million (PPM), has been declared by the US Public Health Service to be "safe for all human consumption." Every chemist knows that such "absolute safety" is not only false and unattainable, but a total illusion! Keep Toxic Fluoride Out of Your Water!" - Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation (Get the book.)

"This label exists because you are exposed to sodium fluoride, linked to enzyme disruption and thyroid problems; sodium lauryl sulfate, linked to organ and reproductive toxicity; triclosan, an antibacterial agent that's registered as a pesticide with the EPA, and which is linked to organ toxicity and possibly cancer. If you finished up your dental hygiene with a gargle of mouthwash, which also comes with a warning label, you taste more than its active ingredients." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"While sodium fluoride does increase bone mass in the vertebral column, the bone itself is of inferior quality. Women participating in a study at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, were three times as likely to suffer from a fracture of the arm, leg, or hip if they took sodium fluoride than if they took a placebo. Some of the participants also suffered from unusual lower leg pain, perhaps due to stress fractures. Q A number of different prescription drugs are sometimes prescribed for people with osteoporosis, including: • Alendronate (Fosamax) is a type of drug known as a bisphosphonate." - 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.) "Sodium fluoride (NaF) is added to city water supplies in the proportion of about one part per million to help prevent tooth decay. sodium fluoride (NaF), stannous fluoride (SnF2), and sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2P03F) are also added to toothpaste, also to help prevent tooth decay. Today, more than half the cities in the United States fluoridate their water supplies. In fact, in many states it is required." - Phyllis A.

Many participants also had blood sugar abnormalities, and were asked to follow a modified hypoglycemia diet as described above. Significant improvement in vertigo (page 441) was reported within six months, but improvements in hearing required one to two years." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"What is added to municipal drinking waters is sodium fluoride, which is quite different from the natural calcium fluoride. Excessive doses can be very toxic, and by excessive we are speaking of minute doses to start with. Toxic levels have been shown at merely one part per million (ppm). Calcium is an antidote for sodium fluoride poisoning. You can fill a library with the literature from around the world about the negative effects of sodium fluoride. It has been cited as one of the most potentially toxic factors to the thyroid and endocrine system. You don't have to have a Ph.D." - Dr Bernard Jenson and Mark Anderson, Empty Harvest (Get the book.)

"The symptoms of sodium fluoride poisoning as listed in the 1983 U.S. Pharmacopedia include tarlike stool, bloody vomiting, diarrhea, faintness, nausea, stomach pain and cramps, excess salivation, skin rash, stiffness, weight loss, mottling of teeth, increased hip fractures, and death. In Kizilcaoren, Turkey, where their village water was 5.4 ppm (parts per million) of sodium fluoride, which is very high, all the inhabitants suffered premature aging. All people older than age 7 had teeth discoloration and the adults had few teeth left." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"Virtually all laboratory experiments use either sodium fluoride or a close chemical relative. The only large, long-term study ever done using the type of fluoride— hexafluorosilicic acid or sodium hexafluorosilicate—being added to drinking water, is now being conducted on millions of unsuspecting individuals in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Great Britain. Remember that the fluoride being added to our water supplies is obtained from the smokestack scrubbers of fertilizer and metal factories. This toxic goo contains more than just fluoride." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "For example, hydrofluoric acid (a water solution of hydrogen fluoride) is used in glass etching, and sodium fluoride in high concentrations is used in rat poisons and pesticides—in smaller concentrations, you will find it in your toothpaste. A common ingredient of many pesticides, sodium hexafluorosilicate (also known as sodium silicofluoride), is added to drinking water. In concentrations smaller than those used to destroy plant pests, the experts tell us the substance is not only safe, it also prevents cavities and encourages good dental health." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) typically label sodium fluoride as "... toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin contact" and that PPE (personal protection equipment) for handling should include safety glasses and gloves.77 Fluorides are more toxic than lead and only slightly less poisonous than arsenic ... and these toxins can enter your body from brushing your teeth or rinsing with many popular dental care products! Fluoride compounds are still purposefully added to water in many areas (in a process known as fluoridation) and is used in most brands of toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Except for the prevention of dental carries (controversial), supplementation with sodium fluoride is not recommended because there are much better and safer ways of effectively treating osteoporosis. Safety It is best to not supplement with extra fluoride, except when it is obtained in small amounts from the daily brushing of the teeth or from using mouthwashes. Fluoride supplementation is not that safe. It can weaken parts of the skeleton, encourage the development of various cancers, and cause neurological and behavioral (for example, hyperactivity) impairments." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.) "Dr Lawrence Riggs at the Mayo Clinic reported the results of a 4-year study, in which he gave to 202 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures 75 mg of sodium fluoride or placebo. They all received 1500 mg of calcium as well. There was an increase in bone density and a redistribution of bone. Each group suffered the same number of new fractures, but the number of nonvertebral fractures at the hip was higher in the fluoride group. Fluoride users also had more fractures of the femur. Two-thirds of the users suffered severe side effects." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (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.)

"After it was approved for use in city water supplies, the price of sodium fluoride went up 1,000% almost overnight. Many tests have been performed with sodium fluoride; some indicate improved teeth while others show a worsening effect. As a result of research in Europe, sodium fluoride treatment of water is now illegal in Sweden, Denmark, and Holland. Germany and Belgium have discontinued their fluoride experiments on the human population, and France and Norway have never found sufficient evidence to warrant water fluoridation." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Risks Unknown Initially, the fluoride used for water came mostly from aluminum manufacturing in the form of sodium fluoride (this is the type still used in toothpaste). Today, much of the fluoride used in water is produced by a Cargill spin-off company called Mosaic (Cargill is the major shareholder), as a byproduct of phosphates produced to use as fertilizers. The typical cast of characters is involved with the production of fluoride or fluorinated pesticides (Bayer, BASF, Monsanto, Dow, and DuPont, among others). The fluoride now used in the water supply is tightly bound to silica." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"On yet another site, it says that fluorine and its compounds in food are entirely different from chemically-produced sodium fluoride. It states that once an element is extracted from the soil and incorporated into plant life, its properties change greatly. All this can be greatly confusing for those concerned about fluoride poisoning. Yes, fluoride is found in tea and also in mother's milk. This applies also to areas where there is no fluoride in the drinking water or air. Numerous plants contain naturally occurring fluorine or fluoride compounds." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride", Muellenix, Denbesten, Schunior, Kernan, 1995). Just to put things in perspective, although only about one part per million of fluoride is normally found in artificially fluoridated water, we find that every single molecule of Prozac?actually consists of three molecules of fluoride, as we previously mentioned. Therefore, if just drinking fluoridated water with a fairly low concentration of fluoride was found to create behavioral disorders and lowered IQs, then Prozac?should be expected to have an even greater effect on children." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "This was confirmed by another study reported in Neurotoxicology and Teratology, ("Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride", Muellenix, Denbesten, Schunior, Kernan, 1995, Vol. 17, No. 2, p. 176), stating "Fluorides accumulate in the brain over time to reach neuroloqically harmful levels." Dr. Tracy also points out that "patients have reported consistently that other drugs cause a variety of adverse reactions for them long after their use of Prozac" (p. 123). The fluoride in Prozac?is very efficient at undermining the liver's attempt to detoxify and remove it, (basically its self defense)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"They are considered by government agencies to be an equivalent to sodium fluoride; however, evidence shows they may be much more toxic. They may increase the absorption of lead, especially in individuals living in older homes (pre-1945). They have a higher absorption rate into bone and are more likely to interfere with normal bone health over the course of a lifetime, increasing the risk for osteoporosis. An Unethical Experiment An experiment is being conducted on the population of America—a national clinical trial." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Sodium fluorine, a chemical "cousin" of sodium fluoride, is used as a rat and roach killer and a deadly pesticide. Yet this deadly sodium fluoride, injected almost by government edict into drinking water in the proportion of 1.2 parts per million (PPM), has been declared by the US Public Health Service to be "safe for all human consumption." Every chemist knows that such "absolute safety" is not only false and unattainable, but a total illusion! Keep Toxic Fluoride Out of Your Water! Most of the water Americans drink has fluoride in it, including tap, bottled and canned drinks and foods!" - Patricia Bragg and Paul C. Bragg, The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental & Spiritual Rejuvenation (Get the book.)

"Additionally, animals who drank the aluminum fluoride water had brain levels of aluminum higher than animals drinking the sodium fluoride water, and levels over twice as high as those drinking plain distilled water. Control animals had both aluminum and fluoride in their brain tissue. This was because the Purina Rodent Lab Chow that all the animals ate contained from 150-8,300 ppm aluminum, and also contained fluoride. This is important because there is a strong link between brain aluminum levels and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Women participating in a study at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, were three times as likely to suffer from a fracture of the arm, leg, or hip if they took sodium fluoride than if they took a placebo.

Q A number of different prescription drugs are sometimes prescribed for people with osteoporosis, including: • Alendronate (Fosamax) is a type of drug known as a bisphosphonate. It inhibits the resorption of bone." - Phyllis A.

"The fluoride added to drinking water, however, is sodium fluoride, sodium silicofluoride, or hydrofluosilic acid. These three fluoride forms, when added to water, are far more toxic then calcium fluoride because their bonding to fluoride is easily broken, permitting the fluoride to seek bone and cause damage. Animal experiments have shown that the lethal dose of drinking water fluoride is 50 times less than that of calcium fluoride. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified fluoride as more toxic than lead but less toxic than arsenic. Does Fluoridation Decrease Tooth Decay?" - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Sodium fluoride (NaF), stannous fluoride (SnF2), and sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2P03F) are also added to toothpaste, also to help prevent tooth decay. Today, more than half the cities in the United States fluoridate their water supplies. In fact, in many states it is required. Although many ailments and disorders—including Down syndrome, mottled teeth, and cancer—have been linked to fluoridated water, fluoridation has become the standard rather than the exception. Individuals have different levels of tolerance for toxins such as fluoride." - Phyllis A.
