Gerald Koch said:What a particular thing to say. As I mentioned before it's all in the dose. In small amounts fluorine is an important trace element in the human body, important for strong bones and teeth. Take too much and its poisonous. Tooth enamel is made of a mineral called fluoroapatite. When there is too little fluoride in the human diet then tooth enamel consists of hydroxyapatite which is softer and more susceptable to decay.
No Flouride i any does is a poison. The subsequent studies that have been done show that the calcium derived from fluride is the brittle form that actually causes those funny white spots on teeth. That is a sign of flouride poisoning. Again the one study that was conducted was in the early 40's in Texas by one Dentist. He found that naturally occuring flouride was the only difference between 7 of 43 towns that he studied. In those 7 towns there was a slight decrease in tooth decay. From that study and only that study our great government found a way to dump the flouride that was collect in NJ at the aluminum plants Where down wind there was a 80 % increase of cancers and the first mass concentration of alzimer cases. They put scrubbers on the smoke stacks, the cancer incidence when to normal and the alzimers cases other than the rash that could not be cured, disappeared. That slurry from the stacks is what was put into our water supply. Flouride is and will always be one of the contributing factors to thyroid disease. I have hasimotos. That is why I was going back to school and got that damn degree of mine. I wanted to know. All of this comes out from different lectures at the University of Arizona or the University of Utah, in their various bio and bio chem classes. It was not long ago 2003 that the AMA came out with new guidelines for the levels of thyroid problems. It turned out that all these people who have been thold they were borderline now have a serious problem that was being overlooked. Now draw a corallary between the flouride that is being pushed at us and the major increase in thyroid disease. That and the mass increase in alzimers that until flouride was introduced to the water supply was non existant. Yep the dose is what is important. Tell that to the people who have a sensitivity to phyenolpekontnurics....it causes irreversible brain damage. It is so dangerous that we do PKU tests on our children when they are born to see if they are sensitive to it. What is that fancy sounding little substance? Try nutrasweet/equal/aspartame. Yet how many products are there with it in it? It is just a matter of dose? the PKU test only give you a reading if it is highly sensitive. All those people with slight or medium sensitivity do not rate. They have different problems, the least of which is bad headaches. Just a matter of dose?
Know thy poisons and what really is the bottom line.
Pyro which is being touted as so bad, OXIDIZES once it is mixed into a solution and exposed to air, and goes inert. Inert like it is harmless. Will still stain your hands if you put them into the solution.
