Fluoride Treatment

This is page 4 of a four-part article.

Fluoride is not a heavy metal, but it's a substance dentists use that has a high danger of toxicity so a discussion of dental hazards wouldn't be complete without mentioning it. As seen in the photo at left, fluoride can cause irreversible damage to a person's teeth. Worse yet, Dr. Patton reports that there are about 100 cases each year of people who die, yes die, from fluoride treatments in the dentist's office. After investigating this issue, her office will not give fluoride treatments, as both their safety and efficacy are highly questionable.

Fluoride depresses testosterone production and can cause men to grow “breasts.” It depresses thyroid function, which affects numerous other body functions, including the ability to burn fat and lose weight. This is another dental hazard I have chosen to avoid. (None of my kids received fluoride treatments.)

Fluoride purges iodine from the body.  Conversely, increasing one's iodine intake can help the body get rid of fluoride. So, if you've been exposed to fluoride some Liquid Dulse or Black Walnut (or even a professional iodine supplement like Iodoral) may be helpful. See our DVD program The Iodine Solution for more information on this topic.
