Yikes! FLUORIDE

After being made aware of the harmful affects of fluoride by my father, I bought some toothpaste without Fluoride to try to reduce the amount of intake. However, as I began to do more research about the topic, I realized how serious and scary it is.

It is also very easy to become skeptical of the government's motives for encouraging citizens to use Flouorinated products and Im sure we'll never know the truth about what kind of faulty research was fabricated to push this agenda.

We do know that Fluoride is found in Rat poisons... and our water. A waste generated during the aluminum manufacturing process, deemed to harmful to nature to dump into streams or oceans, it is carefully added to our water... and lots more.

It has been linked to cause Cancer (of many kinds), hyper activity and ADD in kids, Autism, brittle teeth (over fluoridation).

I want out. at least from having it forced upon me through my drinking water. but there are only a few ways to get rid of it. Some tips of how to remove fluoride from Anne Marie's Chemistry Blog http://chemistry.about.com/b/2009/01/22/how-to-get-fluoride-out-of-water.htm

Ways to Remove Fluoride from Water

  • Reverse Osmosis Filtration
    This is used to purify several types of bottled water (not all), so some bottled waters are unfluoridated. Reverse osmosis systems are generally unaffordable for personal use.

  • Activated Alumina Defluoridation Filter
    These filters are used in locales where fluorosis is prevalent. They are relatively expensive (lowest price I saw was $30/filter) and require frequent replacement, but do offer an option for home water filtration.

  • Distillation Filtration
    There are commercially available distillation filters that can be purchased to remove fluoride from water. On a related note: When looking at bottled water, keep in mind that 'distilled water' does not imply that a product is suitable for drinking water and other undesirable impurities may be present.

These Do NOT Remove Fluoride

  • Brita, Pur, and most other filters.
    Some websites about fluoride removal state otherwise, but I checked the product descriptions on the companies' websites to confirm that fluoride is left in the water.

  • Boiling Water
    This will concentrate the fluoride rather than reduce it.

  • Freezing Water
    Freezing water does not affect the concentration of fluoride.

Also, if you do any sort of google search related to Fluoride and drinking water, you'll get some very diverse and serious results. Quite possibly enough to get you to the place I am at.
Here is a good video of an audio recording about Fluoride in drinking water.




and now, I am on a hunt to find out how many parts per million is getting dumped into the Wilmington water. And debating which way I'll filter it out.

goodluck to you.
