Fluorinated Water

The Open Original Shared Link radio show often discusses health topics, and tonight will be delving into the health implications of fluoride in drinking water. It's a 4 hour program, starting at 10pm PST, 1am EST. You can find out what station carries the program in your area by clicking on the "Affiliates" link on the left side of the page.

It's a very informative show, and I'm sure tonight will be no exception. I will probably be recording it too.

I'm glad this is coming to the attention of more people. In the city I grew up in, a large percentage of the kids I went to school with had brown teeth where the flouride in the water had actually discolored and eroded their teeth enamel. It was awful... :(

Is there anywhere we can see a transcript or have a podcast sent to iTunes??

They do offer a podcast, and downloads of past shows, but it's not free.

Well, I listed to the whole show, and it was very informative. One surprising thing, is that some research has linked fluoride to villous atrophy, hypothyroidism, and various neurological problems. It is also known that fluoride accumulates in bone, and actually weakens it, making it more susceptible to fracture. A single drop of the stuff is lethal to small children.

There was so much information, It would take pages to really do it justice. The experts being interviewed are part of the Open Original Shared Link. They apparently have a video on YouTube, though I've yet to check for that.

I recorded the entire thing, and will be splitting it into six 20 minute segments. If anyone wants an edited version with the highlights, just send me a PM.

That is a result of combining erythromyacin and fluoride during the tooth forming process. Knowledgeable prescribers should have cautioned parents to use bottled water until the prescription ran its course. Fluoride alone is not responsible, nor is the erythromyacin. It's the combination. I knew this growing up. Too bad the physicians where you grew up didn't share that tidbit with their patients. :(

Interesting, thanks for posting this. :)

I have also read that fluoride displaces iodine in our bodies tipping us toward iodine deficiency and iodine deficiency is one factor that contributes to fibroid tumors!

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   ...

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a...
