Fluoride - A toxic
drug
Fluoride is a
very toxic drug. Fluoride is the base
ingredient for mind altering drugs like
Prozac. Another name for Prozac is
Floxitine (flo for fluoride).
For more information on Prozac, see
the News archive article on
Prozac.
Fluoride is so
potent that it was used during W.W.II in
the German concentration camps and the
Jewish suburbs (in their water system)to
keep the Jews submissive, docile, and
easier to control.
Moderate to sever
fluorosis (fluoride poisoning) can
result in children exposed to 2.4 to 4.1
parts per million (ppm). This percentile
can be easily reached since fluoride is
added to everyday items like dental
products, vitamin supplements, various
packaged foods and beverages processed
with fluoridated water.
High
risk individuals
are:
- infants (formula-fed)
- consumers of high
consumption
of water-based beverages (soda,
juices etc.)
- renal failure
patients
(kidney malfunction)
- elderly
What
are your options?
If you prefer to
steer clear of chemical toxicity, you
could look at herbs that build bone,
tooth enamel, dentin, cartilage and
various tissues. Several herbs help to
strengthen and rebuild these areas. You
should look into:
- Horsetail
- Oat straw
- Comfrey root
- Lobelia
herb
Do your homework
on these herbs first. For instance,
pregnant women will want to avoid
lobelia herb and you will want to limit
the amounts small children get of these
herbs. I have actually seen an herbal
tincture of these herbs used on a cavity
and watched the cavity disappear. If you
want to baffle your dentist, give it a
try.

Reduce your
refined sugar intake. It is a scientific
fact that processed sugars draw calcium
from the bones. It is also known among
herbalists that egg yokes also draw
calcium from the body, so reduce your
egg consumption as well. Feel
better!
