Fluorinated Water

[RiceGuy]

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...

Yikes, 1 am???? I'm not gonna be up!

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!
