Removing excess fluoride from tap water.

About fluoride and its effect on the body

10.09.2011

Big dental scam

How often do you brush your teeth? Most likely once or twice a day. How often have you thought about what substances are in the toothpaste that you use day after day, month after month? Probably the same as me - never. Just like me, you rely on the recommendations of the Dental Association. And in vain.

After I came across information about the dangers of fluoride, I really thought about the fact that I had never even thought about reading the composition of toothpaste on the box before. Not to mention learning more about the components themselves. Frankly, I learned all the information about fluoride from advertising posters and videos and sometimes from dentists.

To my surprise, when I searched, I found so many “interesting” things about fluoride and the effect of this substance on the body that I am still in slight shock. This article is food for thought.

What is fluorine and fluoride

Fluoride is a fluoride ion. All organic and inorganic compounds containing fluorine are fluorides, which will be discussed in this article. Fluorine is a gas, and in nature it is most often found in compounds with other substances, for example calcium fluoride (CaF) or sodium fluoride (NaF).

Fluoride is a natural element that is part of the earth's crust. It is therefore natural that a small dose of fluoride (considerably less than 1 ppm) is found in natural water. Plants naturally absorb fluoride from soil and water, so small amounts of fluoride are present in all our food and water, and also accumulate in animal tissue and plants.

Although fluoride is a natural substance, it is toxic to humans, much more toxic than lead. An injection of 2-5 grams of sodium fluoride (a standard ingredient in toothpaste) is a lethal dose. The amount of fluoride in one medium-sized tube of toothpaste is enough to kill a small child if the entire tube is used at once. Fluoride toothpaste contains a much higher concentration of fluoride compared to naturally occurring fluoride.

Fluoride was originally added to water because it was believed that fluoride was extremely beneficial for dental health and prevented tooth decay. And only then into toothpaste. In some countries, such as the USA, about 2/3 of all natural water is fluoridated.

How does fluoride work in the fight against tooth decay?

Fluoride is believed to be toxic to bacteria. Bacteria, like all living forms, also feed, and use sugar as food (glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactose or food starches) and bacterial waste that can dissolve tooth enamel and are the very acids that cause tooth demineralization or caries . Fluoride poisons the bacteria, reducing its ability to process sugar. Unfortunately, fluoride is so poisonous that when used, it poisons not only bacteria, but also other cells.

Risks of Fluoride Use

Fluoride can cause serious health problems even when consumed in small doses, such as those found in toothpaste or fluoridated water.

The first symptoms of poisoning are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and weakness. Later - damage to the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, death.

Affects the respiratory system, heart, bones, circulatory system, central nervous system and kidneys. Causes irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Irritation may not occur immediately.

If inhaled, causes severe irritation of the respiratory tract. Symptoms are cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing. Irritation may not occur immediately.

When taken orally, it is toxic! May cause drooling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain. Weakness, trembling, difficulty breathing, heart attack, convulsions and coma. May affect the brain, kidneys, and cardiovascular system. Death may occur as a result of paralysis of the respiratory tract. The approximate lethal dose is 5-10 grams.

Upon contact with skin, it causes irritation, redness, and pain. Solutions are corrosive. The consequences may not appear immediately.

Contact with eyes causes irritation and serious eye damage. The consequences may not appear immediately.

Chronic exposure to sodium fluoride can cause mottling of teeth, damage to bones (osteosclerosis), and fluorosis. Symptoms of the latter are brittle bones, weight loss, anemia, hardening (calcification) of ligaments, deterioration of the general condition of joint inflexibility.

People with diabetes and kidney failure are especially susceptible to the effects of sodium fluoride.

There are also over 30 animal studies that suggest fluoride is a neurotoxin that reduces cognitive abilities (language learning, speech, thinking ability) and memory. Essentially, fluoride makes you dumber. There are many more health problems associated with fluoride, if you are not afraid of scary names and know English, you can read the list of diseases here: https://www.holisticmed.com/fluoride/ Most of the information was made public only in the last 10 years, until This was strictly classified.

The Pineal Gland and Dangerous Fluoride

Before 1990, no tests were conducted on the effects of fluoride on the pineal gland. The pineal gland or pineal gland is a small gland located between the two cerebral hemispheres.

Ancient philosophers, as well as the Saints of the East, believed that the pineal gland is the seat of the Soul. The pineal gland is the central point of interaction between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. It is the center of everything we do between the spiritual and physical planes. Awakening, or activating, this cell allows you to return to optimal health on all levels.

The pineal gland regulates the release of melatonin, the “youth” hormone, which helps regulate the achievement of sexual and spiritual maturity. Melatonin, in turn, is produced by the pineal gland from serotonin, a substance clearly associated with the higher mental function of humans.

But what is equally important is that the pineal gland is responsible for immunity; when working properly, it protects the body from the harmful effects that free radicals have on the brain.

One of the initiators of this study was physician Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England. She proved that the pineal gland is the first to be hit by fluoride. Also, according to the study, excess amounts of this element at the pineal gland level lead to serious dysfunction, triggering early puberty and reducing the body's ability to fight free radicals.

The pineal gland in our body is something like an appendix that can be cut out because there is supposedly no point in it. That is, we practically do not use the pineal gland. Since the gland is located in the brain, something like a small pea, you can’t cut it off like a tail, you won’t be able to get it out. But this does not mean that it cannot be blocked or even neutralized.

Neutralization of the pineal gland, purely theoretically, can be carried out by very strong exposure to fluoride on it.

For what? If the pineal gland functioned as well as other parts of the brain, then we would not be mundane materialists. It is this part of the brain that is responsible for superintuition and superpowers that we do not have. And I don’t know whether it’s my own fault or the fault of someone else.

Now strawberry, albeit bitter

Why did people start adding fluoride to toothpaste and water?

As always, big money and politics are involved in this story. The history of the creation of the myth about the benefits of fluoride is described in the book “Fluoride Deception”, published by the famous journalist and BBC producer Christopher Bryson, which is based on a 10-year study of facts and rumors on the topic of fluoride. In this book, Bryson profiles some of the most important individuals and institutions that have played a major role in bringing fluoride to the use of dental disease in the United States and around the world.

Defenders of the fluoridation theory say that in relation to fluorine there are two different issues that do not overlap. The first is due to the fact that fluorides are an industrial waste from metal production, and the second question concerns the usefulness of fluoride in dental hygiene products. This is not true, since both of these two storylines are tightly intertwined from the very beginning.

So, about the beginning of the story. The first statement that fluoride was beneficial to dental health and that it should be added to drinking water to prevent dental disease was made by one researcher, Dr. Gerald Cox of the Melon Institute in Pittsburgh. Cox began research on fluoride at the suggestion of Francis Frery, director of the research laboratory of the American Aluminum Company, who was apparently very concerned about the large problem of air and environmental pollution in the vicinity of aluminum smelters and the negative effects of fluoride on the health of plant workers.

It must be understood that the Melon Institute served as the main advocate for all large companies in the metal processing industry, so it is absolutely no coincidence that such a proposal came from a researcher at this institute.

At that time, in the period from 1956-1968, more lawsuits were filed in court for harm caused to health by fluorine alone than for the other 20 (!) pollutants combined. There was definitely a pressing need for some way to defend against so many lawsuits, and it would have been a good idea to have a theory based on actual research that fluoride was good for your health.

Another advocate of fluoridation was Harold Hodge, one of the most influential and senior physicians and researchers. This man enjoyed unquestioned authority among those in power in the field of health care and published more than one work in support of the water fluoridation program, the introduction of which was considered in 1957.

It is now known that Hodge was one of the organizers of an experiment to study the effects of radiation on the health of people who were inoculated with plutonium.

What connection?

Straight. He served as chief toxicologist for the Manhattan Project. The goal of this project was to develop an atomic bomb, which was subsequently dropped on Jeroshima and Nagasaki. Hodge investigated the toxicity of all the chemicals that were used in the production of the atomic bomb and fluorides were the main problem because. They were used in incredible quantities when creating the bomb.

The documents Bryson discovered clearly stated that Hodge was being tasked with providing information that could help the government and military defend against personal injury lawsuits. And on the contrary, all information that can be used against the army must be deleted.

If it were recognized that water fluoridation was harmful, all organizations working with fluoride, including the Nuclear Energy Commission, the government and the US military, would be subject to countless lawsuits. In other words, there was not a single chance that Harold Hodge would have framed such powerful organizations.

At the same time as Hodge, a famous physician and promoter of the fluoridation theory, Dr. Keyhoe published a large scientific work on the beneficial effects of fluorides. This work was sponsored by the following organizations:

Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA), Aluminum Company of Canada, Fuel Research Institute of America, DuPont, Kaiser Aluminum, Reynolds Metals, United Steel, National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR). Keyhoe's personal files contain references to collaborations with the Fluoride Legality Committee, to which Keyhoe provided materials to defend corporate clients (listed above) against fluoride-related lawsuits.

On top of that, what helped sell fluoride to the entire nation was none other than PR's father, Edward Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, who was a true evil genius and a professional at creating an attractive image for harmful products. Oscar Ewing's brother, Edward L. Bernays, was a good psychologist and the nephew of Sigmund Freud. Edward conducted research on controlling the human mind, or rather society. He even published a book called “Propaganda.” In addition to popularizing fluoridation, Bernays participated in the propaganda of cigarettes. Bernays was invited by NIIOS to help carry out PR for the nation's fluoride. Their plan was to convince dentists that fluoride was good for teeth, and then the dentists would “sell” fluoride to everyone else.

For decades, the benefits of fluoride have been promoted to the public, starting in school. Scientists who stated that instead of being beneficial, fluoride had a strong negative effect on the human body were fired, persecuted, and ridiculed in the press. Only recently have some scientists been able to publish the results of studies showing the dangers of sodium fluoride when used even in doses allowed by standards.

It is not difficult to guess that the toothpastes that have been most widely advertised (Colgate, Blend-a-med, Aquafresh, etc.) have the highest fluoride content. People began to buy these toothpastes not because their benefits were proven, but because the repeated lies (in the form of advertising) began to be perceived by many people as the truth. (How to protect yourself from external manipulation?) This psychological technique was used to widely promote fluorine to the masses.

What to do now?

To begin with, you must look at this issue with “open eyes” (it would be a good idea to involve your brain) and make your own conscious decision. Common sense dictates that you should not take (especially regularly) any substance unless you fully understand what it is.

My opinion is that if there is even a slight suspicion that fluorides may be harmful, there is no point in using them. In this case, a huge amount of materials convinces us that it is better to abandon it.

In addition, here is what dentists advise for “fluoride-free” caries prevention:

The less white artificial sugar is in the food you eat, or the less often you eat foods rich in white sugar, or the less time you allow table sugar to remain in your mouth, the less acid the bacteria will produce.

It is better to consume fructose rather than white sugar. Or even better - consume sugar only in whole foods - fruits, dried fruits, nuts. And as a sweet seasoning you can use cinnamon, turmeric, etc. Beware of using the genetically modified sweetener aspartame. It is even more harmful than white sugar.

It is recommended to reduce the amount of time sugar spends in your mouth. After eating sugar-rich foods, brush and floss your teeth, or at least rinse your mouth. In addition, chewing propolis wax “Zabrus” provides good mechanical cleaning of the oral cavity.

It is very harmful to suck sweets in your mouth and drink sugary drinks for a long time. If you still have to drink sweet water (for example, a honey drink), then after it you should quickly brush your teeth.

It is recommended that you floss and brush your teeth frequently and thoroughly.

It is recommended to floss and brush your teeth after every meal—even small amounts. It is recommended to spend a little more time caring for your teeth - it is important to clean them as thoroughly as possible. The areas that you can't reach with a brush or floss are the areas that are most likely to develop cavities.

DIY tooth powder

Differences between fluorosis and caries

It is important not to confuse tooth damage due to excess fluoride with caries. However, the diseases have significant differences:

• Caries affects one or more teeth, and fluorosis affects teeth symmetrically.
• Fluorosis spots are whitish to brown, small. Caries affects tissue in one spot.
• Fluorosis can occur on any surface of the tooth, while caries most often develops in fissures and interdental spaces.

Despite the fact that caries develops due to fluoride deficiency, and fluorosis develops due to an excess of the microelement, both diseases can occur simultaneously.

Treatment of fluorosis

Damage to teeth due to excess fluoride in water is treated comprehensively: it is important to stop the progression of the disease and correct the appearance of the affected teeth.

• Changing food.

Be sure to drink high-quality water with a normal fluoride content. The diet should be balanced in terms of the content of basic nutrients, as well as phosphorus and calcium and a minimum of iodine-containing products (algae, seafood).

• Correction of dental care.

Fluoridated toothpastes and rinses are excluded.

• Teeth correction.

At an early stage, teeth whitening, which is carried out in the dentist's office, is sufficient. First, all the enamel is lightened, and then spots are lightened. The whitening method is selected individually. The most commonly used method is laser whitening.

Be carefull

However, despite the apparent undeniability of the benefits of fluoride, you should not get carried away with the use of toothpastes containing fluoride, as well as the use of medications with a high content of fluoride. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay, but if ingested in excess amounts over a long period of time, it can cause serious bone damage. Moreover, children, adolescents and women are most susceptible to its destructive effects.

According to dental reports, two to three milligrams of fluoride per day is safe. At the same time, it is better to obtain fluoride through fluoridated drinking water and food, and not through toothpastes. An alternative method of introducing fluoride into the body is widely used abroad - with table salt. For example, residents of many European countries have been salting food with it for more than a quarter of a century. Fluoridated salt is also suitable for use in baby food.

What causes excess fluoride - overdose symptoms

Research shows that excess fluoride, although it strengthens tooth enamel, reduces the quality of bone tissue and dentin, leading to fluorosis, a disease caused by fluoride overdose. Initially, it appears as yellowish spots on the teeth, which darken over time.

To check whether you are at risk from excess fluoride, you need to check the concentration of fluoride in your drinking water where you live. If it is high, it is worth enriching the diet with foods high in calcium, which makes it difficult for fluoride to be deposited in the body, and choosing a paste with a lower content of this element or a paste without fluoride , which also includes xylitol, which is effective against caries.

In the years-long debate about whether it is possible to take additional fluoride, the prevailing opinion is that prophylactic intake of sodium fluoride in tablets or drops, without prior research, is risky. Especially considering that the body can actively extract fluoride from food.

Most of this element is found in mineral water, soybeans, fish, liver, spinach, watercress, cabbage, broccoli, carrots and tea. Excess fluoride , which is common in large cities, harms not only teeth, but also blocks the absorption of magnesium and calcium, causing premature aging of tissues, skin and arteries.

Fluoride can cause neurotoxicity in animals, and acute fluoride poisoning can cause neurotoxicity even in adults, but very little is known about its effect on the development of the children's nervous system. Studies of the relationship between high fluoride levels and delayed neurodevelopment of children living in areas where the water contains high levels of fluoride showed that their intelligence quotient (IQ) was significantly lower than that of children living in areas with little fluoride in the water. The data obtained confirm the possibility of a negative effect of large amounts of fluoride on the development of the children's nervous system.

There are thousands of cases of skeletal fluorosis due to cumulative exposure to fluoridated water. The researchers also concluded that fluoride may subtly alter endocrine function, especially the function of the thyroid gland, which produces hormones responsible for growth and metabolism.

However, there are many natural ways to cleanse your body of fluoride that will help you stay healthy and beautiful.

Sufficient amount of iodine

Iodine is an important element for normal cell metabolism, especially for thyroid hormones. It removes fluoride from the body through urine. Sources of iodine include: lingonberries, organic yoghurts, potatoes, strawberries, beans.

Bor

Boron is a natural element that helps flush fluoride from the body. Rich in boron: nuts, dates, prunes, honey, broccoli, bananas, avocados. You can also dilute 1/32 teaspoon of boron per liter of distilled water and drink it throughout the day.

Selenium

Selenium is a nutrient that is often recommended for those trying to get rid of sodium fluoride that accumulates in the body. According to research, selenium actually blocks the effects of fluoride and destroys it. Brazil nuts are an excellent natural source of selenium. However, remember to eat a balanced diet: do not eat these nuts in handfuls, as a rule, the recommended amount is 100-200 mcg.

Tamarind

Have you ever heard of tamarind? It forms the basis of the ancient Ayurvedic system of medicine, which is considered the “mother” of all natural medicine. Tamarind can be added to tea to remove fluoride from the body through urine.

Dry saunas

Intense but safe sweating at high temperatures, as during sports, removes sodium fluoride from fatty tissues. Just make sure you keep yourself hydrated (with distilled water) and protect your kidneys (chickweed tea can help with that). As with any other type of cleansing, be careful: monitor your well-being and the state of your body.

You can also limit the amount of fluoride entering the body with water if you use special filters, for example, with a reverse osmosis system. By ridding your body of accumulated fluoride, you will feel an overall improvement in your health and change your attitude towards drinking water forever.

Excess fluoride in drinking water leads to disturbances in bone mineralization. Thus, in particular, an increase in the concentration of fluoride in drinking water to 2–3 mg/l leads to the occurrence of dental fluorosis, and when the fluorine content is 4–6 mg/l, irritation of the red blood sprout of the bone marrow occurs, inhibition of the functional activity of the central nervous system.

Fluorosis is an endemic disease observed in people living in areas with high levels of fluoride in water and soil. Fluorine is a component of all human organs; it is mainly found in bones and teeth. One of the early signs of fluorosis is tooth damage. In places with a hot climate, fluorosis can develop even when the concentration of fluoride in the water is optimal. This is due to the increased intake of water into the body. Fluoride enters plants and animals and humans through water and soil. Fluoride is especially high in marine fish, meat products (liver, lamb, bone marrow), the yolk of chicken eggs, some plants (wheat, rye, cabbage, beets, tea) and fruits (pomegranates, apples). These products do not cause fluorosis on their own; more fluoride is fixed in the body when it is taken in with water.

Even higher concentrations of fluoride lead to inhibition of white blood cells, the immune properties of the body, and the functions of the thyroid gland, heart, and brain.

It should be noted that in the water supplied to us through city water supply systems, the concentration of fluoride does not exceed the maximum permissible standards. Most often, excess occurs in natural water sources, such as artesian wells.

Common methods of purifying water from impurities of fluorine compounds can be divided into two groups.

The first group includes methods based on filtering water through inorganic bulk material that chemically interacts with fluorine anion. Such materials include fine granular aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, and calcium phosphate.

The second group includes materials capable of sorption of fluorinated compounds from water. First of all, such sorbents are special ion exchange resins that have a certain selectivity with respect to the fluorine anion. Also, sorbents based on magnesium-iron slags of non-ferrous metallurgy, activated carbons, modified zeolites, as well as annealed bone meal can be used as materials in this group. This group of methods for removing fluorine impurities from water includes the dosed supply of a solution of aluminum-silicon coagulant-flocculant into water, which, after extracting the fluorine compounds, is removed by filtration.

Of course, in addition to this, filtration using the reverse osmosis method and the electrocoagulation method can be used to remove fluoride impurities from water. Reverse osmosis filtration is applicable for drinking water. The electrocoagulation method is based on the production of highly active aluminum hydroxyl by electrolytic dissolution of anodes made of metallic aluminum or its alloys. However, these methods are not widely used due to low productivity.
