Is Fluoride In Water Saving Your Teeth, But Costing Your Health?

By Terry Johnston

Fluoride and the Pineal Gland

Once it was know that natural occurring fluoride helped prevent tooth decay. It was thought that their may be a way of protecting everyone's teeth.

Armed with that knowledge government set about adding fluoride to drinking water to protect children's teeth. Fluoride has 4 isotopes (2 natural and 2 manufactured) Cheapest of these isotopes (is made from industrial waste).

FLUORIDE IS TOXIC--that's why there are warnings on toothpaste containers about never swallowing the toothpaste.

Fluoride effects the pineal gland-- a small structure in the brain. It produces melatonin, a a hormone that controls: circadian rhythm--wake, sleep cycles, the beginning of puberty, and the immune system.

With more than half the population of the United States suffering from some form of sleep disturbance.

Why? What is know is sleep deprivation is a world wide pandemic.

Your immune system weakens when melatonin levels are too low and you are at increased risk of depression, stroke, and heart disease. A shortage of melatonin tends to cause early onset puberty.

A 1955 study showed young girls who drank fluoridated water begin having their periods an average of 5 months earlier than their same aged peers who did not drink fluoridated water. Early onset puberty in young girls has been linked to breast cancer and obesity.

A study in the American Journal of Public Health, contends that early maturation almost certainly doubled up the odds of someone facing obesity.

Fluoride was suspected as the culprit affecting the pineal gland and scientists wanted to know more about the process.

Dr. Jennifer Luke, Ph.D., discovered the pineal gland attracts fluoride and that interferes with melatonin and its functions. She also learned, (during autopsy studies) extremely high concentrations of fluoride, averaging 9,000 ppm (parts per million) and ranging all the way up to 21,000 ppm were found in the pineal gland of the autopsied victims.

Studies of Mongolian gerbils (the best research animal for studying effects on the pineal gland) given the chemical, showed lower than normal levels of melatonin and early onset puberty.

Does Fluoride contribute to the alarming rates of early puberty that we are seeing? It certainly seems to contribute a nationwide problem of sleep deprivation. This research clearly suggests a connection between insomnia and the amount of fluoride found in the pineal gland.

Reducing your fluoride intake could be critical. A kitchen top filter system won't do, not will a shower head filter.

The best over all way to reduce manufactured fluorides in your water is to Install a whole home water filtration system which will eliminate synthetic fluorides (roughly 40%-60% of the fluorides found in water) the remaining fluorides (are naturally occurring). At the same time we should lobby to understand the danger and stop putting fluorides in the water.

An aluminum salt system supposedly removes all fluorides, but is apparently so dangerous that no reputable expert is willing to recommend it.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is currently testing fluoride for its potential to interfere with the human hormone system.

Hopefully they will do something in regard to fluoride.
