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

Fluoride and the Pineal Gland
Many years ago science determined natural fluoride in water helped prevent tooth decay. And this was seen as a possible way to protect the general public’s teeth.
Governments were excited about the prospect of cheaply and efficiently protecting children’s teeth, by adding fluoride to drinking water. Fluoride has 4 isotopes–2 naturally occurring and 2 manufactured). Cheapest of these isotopes (is made from industrial waste).
There is warning on toothpaste containers about never swallowing the toothpaste because FLUORIDE IS TOXIC.
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.
Big question is why? — sleep deprivation is at world wide pandemic levels.
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 recent study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, believes early onset puberty almost doubled the odds of someone becoming obese.
Scientists, knew that Fluoride could affect the pineal gland wanted to learn more about that process.
Dr. Jennifer Luke, Ph.D., was concerned enough to study the pineal gland of deceased people during routine autopsies. She discovered extremely high concentrations of fluoride–ranging from 9,000 PPM (parts per million) to 21,000 PPM. Much higher than anyone could have guessed.
Mongolian gerbils (the best research animal for studying effects on the pineal gland) were given small doses of fluoride and developed lower levels of melatonin
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.
A whole home water filtration system will remove much of the synthetic fluorides (40%-60%). The remaining fluorides are naturally occurring. Lobby government to stop putting fluoride in the water–regardless of how much money the fluoride company contribute to the election campaign.
The only system that will eliminate 100% all fluoride from water is an experimental aluminum salt based filter that adds aluminum to the water during the filtration process. A number of experts agree this cure could be more deadly than the disease and we will need to see a very much improved system before this could be recommended.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is currently testing fluoride for its potential to interfere with the human hormone system.
Once the risk is firm established we should see the EPA take action.
