“Fluoride is more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic.”  Michael Schachter  M.D.

How aware are you regarding the dangers of fluoride?

But after the men had eaten a bite or two they cried out, “Man of God, there’s poison in this stew!” So they would not eat it.  (2 Kings 4:40: NLT)

Have you read any of the controversy surrounding the fluoride issue?  I’ve believed for years that the addition of fluoride to our drinking water and toothpaste wasn’t a good idea.  I stopped using toothpaste containing fluoride years ago.  However I really wasn’t aware of the numerous dangers caused by fluoride ingestion.

Dr. Russell Blaylock’s latest newsletter addresses this issue in a minor way.  That caused me to do a little research resulting in a great deal of substantiation from other trusted sources on the dangers (and myths) of fluoride.  Dr. Blaylock says that fluoride is not only dangerous to our dental health but to our overall health in general.

He goes on to say that:

• Fluoride actually destroys our teeth enamel.
• Not only does fluoridation of drinking water provide NO dental benefit, it is a poison that accumulates in our bodies and causes damage to our tissues and organs.
• Topical fluoride damages the gums and jaw bone and increases the risk of oral cancers.

The best thing we can do for our overall dental health is to avoid fluoride toothpastes, fluoride treatments, and mouthwashes containing fluoride.  Eating a healthy diet and avoiding sugar and tobacco will also help to protect our teeth and gums.  Unfortunately, chewing gum also damages the gums and leads to tooth loss.

Another “take” on this issue comes from Dr. Bill Douglass.  Dr. Douglass has done various reports on the dangers of fluoride.  One such report written by him begins by saying, “When I think of fluoridation, two words come to mind: medical experiment. And the guinea pig is Y-O-U. That’s right: Without any solid proof that ingesting fluoride was beneficial for your teeth — and with no safety tests conducted to determine its potential effects on the rest of your body — the government moved forward with the mass medication of the country’s water supply.”   Wow, that’s some strong statements.

He went on to say that for years fluoride was classified as a toxic waste and at one time its only approved uses were as an insecticide and a rat poison.  Numerous studies have been done through the years with frightening results.  Fluoridation has been linked to immune system alteration, musculoskeletal harm, genetic damage, thyroid dysfunction, and even cancer, according to his report.

Today’s link by Dr. Michael Schachter sheds a bit of light on the political side of the fluoride issue.  I believe you’ll find it of interest.
