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... :(

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!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
