Fluoride: Your dentist uses it prevent cavities, but is it safe?

In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan was the first city to be fluoridated. The city was initially supposed to perform a ten-year study to determine the safety and risks of fluoridated water, but by the following year many other cities joined in hast.

Calcium fluoride is an insoluble ionic compound of calcium and fluorine. It occurs naturally in seawater, rivers, mineral springs, certain grasses, and in animal bones and teeth. Calcium fluoride is not what municipalities add to our water. Today, fluorosilicic acid (a colorless pale yellow liquid derived as a by-product from preparation of chemical fertilizer and is both poisonous and corrosive enough to etch glass) is added to your drinking water. In European nations, they do not fluoridate their water because they do not believe in mass medicating. Studies have shown that high levels of fluoride promote skeletal fluorosis or bone destruction. Patients undergoing dialysis that were given fluoridated water often suffered from severe illness and sometimes death.

A landmark study by Dr. Phyllis Mullenix in 1995 showed that fluoride does cross the blood brain barrier. It effects behavior and lowers IQ. Scientists have also identified a possible link between fluoride and Alzheimer’s disease. In 1984, a Japanese doctor “…..” extensive research revealed a link between fluoride and uterine cancer. Many other studies conducted over the years have shown a correlation between other types of cancer including but not limited too osteosarcoma, respiratory cancers and oral cancers.

According to Dr. Speiser, what is most disturbing is that the fetuses exposed to fluoridated via the mother in-utero revealed brain cells are becoming damaged. Keep in mind that these mothers drank the same fluoridated water that was within safe guidelines as set by the EPA.

The ingestion of fluoride should be an individual choice, not mandatory. Therefore, if you do not want to ingest toxic fluoride into your body, CWR has special filtration media capable of effectively removing fluoride to very low levels.
