Fluoride: Benefit or Setback

The Fluoride Conversation Broken Down

Fluoride has long been a topic of controversy, with debates surrounding its advantages and drawbacks. Widely used in oral health products and often administered as treatments by dentists, fluoride is promoted for its ability to strengthen teeth and protect against cavities. While this is undoubtedly beneficial, we must also consider the potential consequences of excessive fluoride consumption, which has become a growing concern in today's society. Surprisingly, 60-80% of tap water in the USA is fluoridated, and this doesn't account for the additional exposure from everyday oral care products, supplements, and our food.

To gain a clear understanding of fluoride, let's examine its pros and cons, aiming for a comprehensive perspective. Initially, the addition of fluoride to public water systems was intended to prevent tooth decay, especially for those who cannot afford dental work. This approach has shown to be effective for young children in small case studies but has mixed reviews across the 331,501,080 people who are consuming fluoridated tap water as of 2020. 

See here for a list of countries and their decisions on fluoridated water. As you scroll down you will find that the USA recognized the mistake of over-fluoridating our water resulting in the EPA proposing to reduce our fluoride levels back in 2011(which hasn’t happened yet). We also must acknowledge that some water sources and foods naturally contain fluoride, and moderate exposure to this natural form can be beneficial. The challenge arises when we exceed safe levels of fluoride intake which is extremely common.

One well-known concern linked to overexposure is fluorosis. While minor cases may result in discolored teeth, severe overexposure can lead to mineral loss in bones, potentially causing osteoporosis and increasing the risk of fractures. Moreover, there are growing apprehensions regarding neurological issues. A study in Mexico revealed that increased fluoride exposure during pregnancy correlated with lower IQ scores in children.

Understanding the nature of fluoride is crucial in this discussion. Classified as a level 3 health hazard by the CDC and the National Institute for Safety and Health, fluoride is considered "toxic and corrosive." High fluoride exposure can trigger various symptoms, including “eye irritation, respiratory problems, abdominal discomfort, and dermatitis.” Of course, this is only the case when we cross over into high exposure. This highlights the significance of monitoring our fluoride intake, especially given its widespread presence in big cities, processed foods, supplements, toothpaste, and mouthwash.

                                   

Several other symptoms linked to excessive fluoride intake include tooth discoloration, depression, migraines, and insomnia, which could be attributed to pineal gland calcification. Proper functioning of the pineal gland is crucial for melatonin synthesis, a chemical that regulates sleep cycles. From a spiritual standpoint, calcification of the pineal gland poses various challenges. Decalcification is possible but challenging, depending on the duration of overexposure. EFT has also been monitored for decalcifying the pineal gland and has proven to be a beneficial solution. Transitioning to fluoride-free toothpaste and using water filters that specifically are capable of filtering fluoride is a great step to limiting exposure.

To avoid unnecessary fluoride intake, it's vital to remember that fluoride is already present in the food we consume and the water we drink, fluoridated or not. Opting for fluoride-free alternatives and possibly taking cod liver oil supplements, as suggested by Weston A. Price Foundation, may aid in breaking down existing calcification while still preventing tooth decay. However, just like our off-gassing issue, the most effective approach is to prevent exposure in the first place, emphasizing the significance of safe practices over remedial measures.
