Too much fluoride in the water,government says.

[Arrowwind]

Fluoride damage can be prevented by usind supplementations of Lugol's iodine. Iodine spurs the release of fluroide out of iodine receptor sites that fluroide is chemically attracted too. Almost all people should be supplementing with Lugo's iodine as fluroide is almost unavoidable even if your district does not put it in the water it is in the water used to prepare soft drinks, and processed foods.

Aside from dumbing down people fluoride contributes to osteoporosis and in combination with a lack of iodine in the diet it is behind the hypothryoid epidemic in this nation. Low thyroid function means repressed immune status and susceptibility to higher levels of cancer.

Looking at the fluroide situation in the body should immediately take you to the iodine situation, or lack of it. Since fluroide and iodine are both hallogens and share identical receptor sites in the body. Iodine is life sustaining and fortifying, fluroide brings caos and death to cells and noral bodily functions.

We will see how far this all goes with the government... Meanwhile do not count on them changing anything too soon. Best to educate yourself and take action for yourself and your families.

Please remember that the addition of fluroide to our water systems is a world leader elite 33 agenda. Why are you letting them get away with it?

Fluoride in drinking water — credited with dramatically cutting cavities and tooth decay — may now be too much of a good thing. Getting too much of it causes spots on some kids' teeth.

A reported increase in the spotting problem is one reason the federal government will announce Friday it plans to lower the recommended levels for fluoride in water supplies — the first such change in nearly 50 years.

About 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a surprising government study found recently. In some extreme cases, teeth can even be pitted by the mineral — though many cases are so mild only dentists notice it.

Nothing new to people here! However, for the sheep, it is a start. After all, it is on the MSM. Maybe now, more of the sheep will wake up and go looking into this and discover, to their shock and horror, that Fluoride is not a good thing! FULL STOP.

[Arpheus]

Can someone please merge this post with the one i put up earlier?

[Arrowwind]

Please, give me a break. Look at the totality of the situation.
They are pumping fluro compounds into people all the time.
Look to the pharmaceutical industry for this...
Obviously they are concerned the workers,, the young people
will be breaking down before they get good use out of them.
They are especially doing damage to the elderly, as they are disposable
with huge profits coming in at end of life for chronic disease that fluroide causes.
in boniva, fosamax, etc.
Many antibiotics have a fluro compound also... and can
cause signficiant side effects and as well as resistant strains of bacteria
that are difficult to cure or uncurable. Have you ever seen anyone dying for jaw bone degeneration? Hip fracture after being on these drugs a long time?
It is developed to keep us spending money on healthcare that our great grand parents did not need.

[Arrowwind]

If you take sufficient iodine either from diet, which is impossible in the USA, or from supplements you will not be damaged by fluroide.
More than anything they do not want you to take iodine.

Thanks Arrowwind, I am most interested in this and havnt heard of it before. Can you please provide links or back up research in favour of this approach. If this is true, its wonderful

[Arrowwind]

Table Salt only provides 0.05mg of iodine. Many people don't even use iodized salt. Salt is not recommended if there is blood pressure issues. The daily dose of iodine should be about 12 mg according to the research of DR Abraham as UCLA.

If you go to my health blog and do a blog search on iodine articles will come up. www.Healthsalon.org, I probably have 10 articles or so.
If you go to the www.vitamincfoundation.org and search iodine you will find the videos of Dr Bernstein that are well worth listening to.

Hi Banshee, I think they forgot to take it out either that or they put it in to co-erce people into buy the stuff - which is amost like poison if you ask me, nothing nutritional in it that I can see - they leach out all the good stuff while processing I read somewhere (not sure where sorry)........... I have recently converted to "Maldon" sea salt flakes..... highly recommended its sweet and has all the trace minerals in it that it should and is really beautiful to eat. Made in the UK

[Dale]

Any amount of fluoride ingested is too much.

[witchy1]

If you go to my health blog and do a blog search on iodine articles will come up Hi again Arrowwind, have looked and can only find the article by Dr Howenstein. Can you please point me in the direction of the research that states iodine displaces flouride in the body.

Thanks in anticipation

[Seikou-Kishi]

Any amount of fluoride ingested is too much.

I agree.

(and in light of that, can we not have an 'agreement' button in addition to the 'thanks' button?)

[witchy1]

I found this article that seem to debunk the statement: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1591023 The good thing is it seems to imply that iodine can displace mercury!

The following article explains why iodine cannot displace fluoride, chlorine or bromine:

http://www.palett.co.uk/energiodine.html (http://www.palett.co.uk/energiodine.html)

The mechanism behind "halogen displacement" was probably best described by J.C. Jarvis, M.D. ( Folk Medicine, Henry Holt & Co., 1958, HB, p. 136), who wrote:
"The clinical activity of any one of these four halogens is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight.
This means that any one of the four can displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot displace an element with a lower atomic weight.
For example, fluorine can displace chlorine, bromine and iodine because fluorine has a lower atomic weight than the other three.
Similarly, chlorine can displace bromine and iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight.
Likewise, bromine can displace iodine from the body because iodine has a higher atomic weight.
But a reverse order is not possible."

The atomic weights are:
Fluorine 18.99
Chlorine 35.45
Bromine 79.90
Iodine 126.70

Therefore, any "halogen detox" symptoms one experiences with iodine are likely to be either from the iodine killing off bacteria, pathogens and/or viruses, and consequently the liver, etc, having to deal with this toxic dump. Or it could also be from mercury being mobilised in the body.

Mercury has a heavier atomic weight than iodine (200.59 to be exact), so maybe this is why iodine can displace it. Not sure if it forms to become mercury Iodide (http://curezone.com/c/?http://curezone.com/faq/q.asp?a=13,281,2962&q=579) if iodiDe is present (Here is interesting link about mercury iodide, presenting even more interesting implications for thyroid http://www.contech.com/Mercuric_Iodide_Detectors.htm). (http://www.contech.com/Mercuric_Iodide_Detectors.htm).)

[000]

Any amount of fluoride ingested is too much.

100% agreed.

A little tidbit from my personal life: I've been doing somewhat of an experiment over the past few months. I stopped using toothpaste completely and wanted to see if just the mechanical action of a good quality electric toothbrush would do the job, if not a better job than with toothpaste. I did use toothpastes with fluoride in them before and didn't switch to non-fluoride toothpaste, so I went 'cold turkey' as it were and cut out all use. For a few months I used nothing but my electric toothbrush with a mouth half full of tap water (sourced from a well on site, we are not hooked up to the public system). I just got back from my yearly dental checkup and everything was absolutely perfect. Gums healthy and pink, no gingivitis, no pitting (precursor to cavities), only mild staining from my smoking and coffee drinking (whitening was not a part of my experiment and also not something I really care about at all).

It has been about 4-5 months so far (I have not kept track rigorously so this is not an entirely well controlled experiment) so another year will probably do more justice but so far it appears as if it is a good combination of a healthy diet very low in refined sugars, high in raw fruits and vegetables and the pure mechanical action of a good electric toothbrush and pure groundwater. Of note also is my morning breath actually was neutral when I stopped using paste and no longer tinged with morning-breath as it were. This I can only speculate as to why and am unsure of, but nevertheless it is a positive outcome.

Thought I would share since although it is nothing revolutionary it seems to be very practical where fluoride ingestion reduction is concerned.

[witchy1]

There seems to be a bit of chatter on other forums about collidal gold to displace flouride (and also clear the pineal gland) anyone have experience with this?????

[Arrowwind]

I t seems that the link to Bernstein's videos at the vitamincfoundation have been changed? I long ago downloaded the videos to my computer and I am watching them again right now. Dr Brownstien says that Iodine will detox bromide and fluroide. It may take several months to complete. The study they did measured circulating bromide and fluroide before and after iodine supplementation was started. Circulating bromide and fluroide go up for quite a while untiil it is all detoxed. Then it stops. Of course you have to stop consuming these agents at the same time. They compete for the same cellular receptor sites as they are all halogens.

I don't know if they know exactly how this dumping of bromide and fluroide occurs but it occurs when Lugol's iodine is introduced to the body.. Some people when supplementing with iodine will get skin reactions.. these reactions will pass with time, Bromide seems to detox through the skin.

If iodine is taken in excess it is merely excreted via the kidneys.

Bromide is found in bread products and used to detox hot tubs. Once upon a time iodine was put into bread.. now they use bromide which has no known metabolic use in the body.

I don't know... go to www.vitamincfoundation.org and search iodine or Brownstien.. they say they have his detox video here but I could not get to it this time... maybe its something I am doing..it always worked in the past

[witchy1]

Thanks Arrowwind, does Dr Brownstein say where he gets this information from or has he done research himself?

You will be aware that excess iodine can result in "iodine goitre" (as opposed to goitre resutling from insufficient iodine) and Iodine excess can also cause thyroid underactivity, because large amounts of iodine block the thyroid's ability to make hormones. Of course there is Thorotoxicosis that can lead to a Thyroid Storm with a mortality rate of only 50% http://www.surgical-tutor.org.uk/default-home.htm?system/hnep/thyrotoxicosis.htm~right. I have nursed a patient with this - pretty scary stuff

I do have a certain well earned respect for iodine and its not something we should be taking without proper caution and preferrably not without serum levels being initially taken. I do need to know where this information comes from to assist making an informed opinion. I do not doubt that what you say is correct, and asssume that you would not have made this statement
Almost all people should be supplementing with Lugo's iodine as fluroide is almost unavoidable without supporting evidence. I do need to cite the origins of the statement so I can research for myself
Thanks in anticipation

[Arrowwind]

As I said you can go to Healthsalon.org as a start, I have at least 10 articles there. I have spend considerable time putting stuff up there. Iodine info is not that hard to find. There is also a youtube iodine forum.

Dr Bernstien and Abraham, Flechas and others have done a lot of research on iodine.

[Erin]

Ironically enough I saw this on FOX News earlier (I can't help it; it's always on in my parents' house). I could barely believe what I was witnessing! Then again, the excuse they gave for the over-fluoridation was "splotchy teeth in our nation's youth." Yeah.......

When I was young and unknowing, my mom made us take these little purple fluoride "supplements," if you can believe. Because the water in our area wasn't fluoridated already...? I dunno. It always seemed kind of fishy in retrospect, honestly.

[witchy1]

OK, think I've found it.
The World Health Organization says that iodine deficiency is the largest single cause of mental retardation. Iodine also detoxifies the body by removing mercury, fluorides, chlorides, and bromides. http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/iodine.htm.

This is a 2005 article by "Robert Sarver has performed his own research into the claims regarding iodine and iodide made by Dr. Brownstein and Dr. Abraham. These are Mr. Sarver's independent findings"

Who is Mr Sarver - I did a brief google search and I'm guessing its not the one who owns the pheonix suns. But found no reference to him. Of concern is that there is no reference for this statement, and it seems to be an add-on comment by the writer. Please correct me if I am wrong. I would so love to believe your claim that iodine displaces flouride in the body.
Arrowwind, is this the statement that you have based your claims and advise on?

[witchy1]

When I was young and unknowing, my mom made us take these little purple fluoride "supplements," if you can believe

Hiya Cosmiclagoon, I DO believe it.........me too, hence my continuing search for something to get rid of the accumulating stuff that has built up over the years in my (our) systems.

[Seikou-Kishi]

Iodine is purple in its gaseous form, and I'd certainly like to take some. I saw on the internet how its in relatively high concentrations in certain seaweeds, but that these are mixed with monosodium glutamate in supermarkets

[JoshERTW]

There was a piece on CBC about this - they even went as far as to mention the fact that "conspiracy theorists believe fluoride is used to keep the masses passive" (paraphrased) - That statement has been removed from the story at the tiem of this posting but it was there this morning when I first read it.

Link to story here:

http://www.cbc.ca/cp/health/TL645.html

[witchy1]

Hi Seikou-Kishi, you are probably referring to Kelp - very high in iodine.

[Seikou-Kishi]

Hey Witchy, I thought I'd said kelps not seaweeds. I had intended to refer to certain varieties of kelp (there are seven different families of kelps containing more than 30 genera). The specific species which contain the highest concentrations of iodine slip my mind, but I undoubtedly have a book on it somewhere ^_^*

Thanks anyway :-)

[Banshee]

Beet root will not only provide you with ample Iodine, it is a strong anti-carcinogen.

[TigaHawk]

I honestly think the problem with children's teeth these day's is caused purely by the fact that they do not brush them.

My parets were strict, make the bed EVERY morning, vaccuum after dinner, shower, brush teeth then bed.

The trick was - they'd make sure we did what we said we did. We tried to skip stuff - but they'd know, and then you'd have to go do it with them standing over you.



I would love to know - on a truthfull level - how may people neglected brushing their teeth as a child - and then let the habbit carry thru the rest of their lives?

how may children who are brushing their teeth on a daily basis - and pickup this habbit - the carry it thru the rest of their lives? What are their teeth like?

[JohnBlues]

Argh, too much conflicting information! I've actually been researching the prevention of intake of Fluoride rather than the displacement of existing amounts in your system, everyone here probably already knows but here are some things I'm doing :

- My water supply is fluoridated, so I've bought a water filtration system (yet to arrive, I'm on bottled water that I know is not fluoridated for now!), it's one of those Berkefield ones that use ceramic/carbon filters
- Switched to non fluoridated organic/herbal Toothpaste
- Taking Fermented Skate Liver Oil supplements, specifically the GreenPastures BlueIce brand, has "Activator X" in it and Pete Peterson says it should help to decalcify the pineal gland from any of the halides, from the Camelot interview transcript:


DW: You're saying, about the pineal gland. Because I have a whole long section in my video that everybody’s seen, most of this audience has seen it, all about the pineal gland. So, you’re saying that this oil, if taken, would help to decalcify the pineal gland, or somehow increase its sensitivity?

PP: If the pineal gland is calcified by halides, yes it would.

DW: Okay.


It's not hard medical or scientific evidence, anyway i think i'll look into iodine a little more.

Does anyone know if MMS would help? Hmm more research me thinks..

[Arrowwind]

Not brushing your teeth will not cause flurosis, as is what they have been finding since the implementation of fluroide in the water.


Johnblues, I highly suspect that your water filtration system will take out fluroide. Even reverse osmosis cannot do it. When I lived in the city I had to purchase a special alumna filter for fluroide. I have heard no reports about MMS detoxing fluroide and mms is a special interest of mine

Beetroot will only supply you with iodine if the soil contains iodine in which it is grown. Most soils in the USA at least are iodine depleted... and I guess you would have to like eating a hell of a lot of beets for the rest of your life. Seaweed may be a better choice but that choice has a lot of problems too

wichy1 I can send you a few iodine documents if you pm me with your email address

[JohnBlues]

In regards to teeth, PP also says Fermented Skate Liver Oil would do the trick to prevent tooth decay etc (bolded the tooth decay bit):


PP: They could have gotten rid of tooth decay with an absolutely benign substance that we had a whole industry here that could go out and bring us back all we could ever use for the whole world, very inexpensively and totally non-negatively in the body. But we didn’t do that.

Now, the reason that that fish oil doesn’t turn rancid is, obviously, because it’s an antioxidant. It’s the best antioxidant known to man as far as I know. Price called it Activator X. It has a definite chemical formula. It could definitely be put out there. But it’d eliminate most of heart surgery; it would eliminate tooth decay, so it’s not put out there because that isn’t efficient in our capitalistic system.

I just got my first batch a few days ago, will see how I go with it, i'm using it now instead of my usual Omega-3 supplements that only have EPA/DHA.

[JohnBlues]

Hey Arrow, you're completely correct actually, the standard ceramic/carbon filter doesn't get rid of the fluoride you need to get the post-filter element that targets Fluoride, such as the PF-2 from Berkey - http://www.berkeyfilters.com/berkeypf2.htm , also these filters will fit any Berkefield gravity-type filtration system.

Here's some info about the flouride reduction effciency of this particular filter:


FLUORIDE: Testing for fluoride was based on 20-30ppm of the ion in the influent water solution at a flow rate of no more than 3 gpm (11 lpm) per cubic foot of media. Results of < 1ppm of the fluoride ion in the effluent were typical for the filter media (>95% reduction). Under optimum conditions, effluent concentrations of less than 50 ppb were readily achieved (>99.75% reduction).

It also takes out Arsenic/s and "heavy metal ions", sounds good to me as i'm not a fan of arsenic either :P

[witchy1]

wichy1 I can send you a few iodine documents if you pm me with your email address if you click on my name at home page you can PM me the info, but before you do


I have at least 10 articles there. I have spend considerable time putting stuff up there. Iodine info is not that hard to find Its not the finding of iodine information that is causing me angst - What I can't find - other than what I found in my post #24 is where you get the information that iodine will displace flouride that would lead you to advise people that
Almost all people should be supplementing with Lugo's iodine as fluroide is almost unavoidable

If you have that information, I would be most grateful to receive it - you can even post the link here

I am not trying to be difficult. The only thing I am looking for is objectivity around your statement, because it would be good to support it IF it is true. Given that taking iodine without first considering your individual circumstances (including serum levels) can be unsafe and detrimental your health (from a registered health professional perspective.) I would caution against it at this time. But definately happy to recieve the objective evidence (from anywhere) that supports your claim

[JohnBlues]

Found an old thread on the old Avalon board about fluoride/pineal gland - http://projectavalon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7273

Lots of good info, some posters mention the Vitamin K2 as well (found in skate liver oil)

[JohnBlues]

Yes, I'd have to agree with Witchy, I'm always keen to find the concrete evidence when it comes to supplements and how they affect the body, would be good if you can link that info Arrow (would save me some time researching on my own, I'm lazy sometimes :o )

Thanks JohnBlues, that led me here: http://www.tuberose.com/Fluoride.html Excellent stuff. Who would have thought powdered eggs (Yew) at 900ppm containes almost as much as toothpaste! We all know this but to hammer the point home - from same site
"Fluoridated toothpaste contains 1,000-2,000 mgs. of fluoride" "Fluoride is highly toxic to the liver" "Hydrogen fluoride is the only toxic element in the nerve gas Sarin (1500 times more poisonous than cyanide)".

the technical trend of this thread.
Reading through this made me think of an old story.
From the bibles new testament:

The Massacre of the Innocents is an episode of infanticide by the King of Judea, Herod the Great, that appears in the Gospel of Matthew 2:16-18. The author, traditionally Matthew the Evangelist, reports that Herod ordered the execution of all young male children in the village of Bethlehem, so as to avoid the loss of his throne to a newborn King of the Jews whose birth had been announced to him by the Magi.

Very messy, and not appealing to the sivilized modern mind.
So they have deviced other methods now, on a larger scale.

Iodine supplementation markedly increases urinary excretion of fluoride and bromide
Abraham GE
Townsend Newsletter, May, 2003
"While the debate continues, regarding benefits and adverse effects of fluoridation of our water supply and bromination of our food supply, what can one do to minimize the toxic effects of these 2 halides? One approach in decreasing the body burden of fluoride and bromide is orthoiodosupplementation, that is iodine/iodide supplementation in daily amount for whole body sufficiency."

"Is there a practical and simple way to lower the body's burden of fluoride and bromide? It has been known for sometime now that bromide competes with chloride in the extracellular space and that the total molar concentration of bromide plus chloride remains constant. (8) This concept has been used to decrease extracellular bromide levels by saline loading. However, the presence of bromide in the thyroid gland (9) and the central nervous system (10) suggests that there is another intracellular "pool" of bromide, not responding to chloride. In the thyroid gland, bromide competes with iodide for uptake, oxydation and organification.

"Therefore, increasing iodide intake should lower bromide levels in the thyroid, preventing and reversing its thyrotoxic and goitrogenic effects. The same applies to fluoride. Galletti and Joyet (12) evaluated the effect of 5-10 mg fluoride on thyroid functions in hyperthyroid patients. Although fluoride inhibited the iodide-concentrating mechanism of the thyroid, fluoride did not accumulate in the thyroid. Based on their radioactive tracer studies, they concluded "Fluorine does not impair the capacity of the gland to synthesize thyroid hormones when there is an abundance of iodide in the blood." Therefore, fluoride toxicity depends on iodide supply."

"Following supplementation with the iodine/iodide preparation, there was a progressive increase in the excretion of fluoride and bromide. With 3 tablets, the 24h excretion of fluoride was 17.5 times baseline level; and for bromide, 18 times baseline level. These high levels persisted even after one month of supplementation at 3 tablets/day, being 15 times baseline level for fluoride, and 16 times for bromide. After one month, the estimated total amount of halide excreted was 24 mg fluoride and 8700mg bromide. It is unlikely that such large amounts of halides came from the thyroid gland. It would seem that the whole body is being detoxified. Orthoiodosupplementation could be used under medical supervision to detoxify the body from unwanted halides in a manner similar to the use of EDTA for the detoxification of heavy metals."

Thanks Daledo, one of these links brought be eventually to http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-08/IOD_08.htm#7. - The historical background of the Iodine Project by Guy E ABraham, MD - Not dated. This includes all references.


"Therefore, increasing iodide intake should lower bromide..... - it says SHOULD!! Here is the actual paper from 1958 EFFECT OF FLUORINE ON THYROIDAL IODINE: METABOLISM lN HYPERTHYROIDISM by PIERRE-M. GALLETTI, M.D., PH.D* AND GUSTAVE JOYET, D.Sc http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/thyroid/galletti-1958.pdf ..

Mind you the purpose of the paper was "Our aim was to elucidate the inhibitory effect of chronic administration of fluoride upon thyroid function in cases of hyperthyroidism. It was demonstrated that such an action appears only occasionaUy among persons subjected to massive doses of this substance."

So they were not actaully researching for displacing flouride by increasing iodine, so they didnt test for it making the statement perfectly logical in context and irrelevant for my question as the statement is subjective.


I have to admit that I dont entirely trust any health related website who blindly cut and pastes information from other websites to theirs and says its true without have the backup information for the public to access. There is so much misinformation on the internet that it can easily cause harm to people who blindly believe what they read (or want to beleive in). Perhaps Im being overly pendantic?
