Fluoridated Water Affects Your Thyroid Gland

 

Dr. Barry Durrant-Peatfield expands on how England's proposed nationwide fluoridation of their water supplies poses health threats, especially for those suffering from thyroid problems.

Fluoride is an enzyme poison, and enzymes are complex protein compounds that facilitate chemical reactions that are essential to health. Extremely low concentrations of fluoride can damage enzymes and their functions.

Further, fluoride from all sources (water, air and food) accumulate in the body, which can only eliminate 50 percent of its total fluoride intake, causing harm to your:

Fluoride is not the beneficial additive that is purported to be. Dr. John Lee, who passed away this year, was one of the leaders in helping us realize fluoride for cavity prevention is a myth, and a dangerous one at that.

If you really want to know how to prevent cavities, I would strongly recommend that you read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Dr. Weston Price. Dr. Price, one of the most prominent dentists at the turn of the century, wondered why so many children were getting cavities. He realized that it was due to the introduction of processed foods. So he traveled all over the world and documented how the introduction of processed food severely damaged the teeth. Even if you don't read the entire book, the pictures do a wonderful job of telling the story. The book was written in 1920 and is still very true today.

I believe that if kids are weaned from breast milk onto raw milk and minimize their consumption of grains, sugars, fruit juices and sodas it is highly likely they will never acquire any cavities.

Of course it's also important to avoid drinking fluoridated water. Testing for tap water contaminants that can harm you and your family is one of the most crucial health steps you should take now. For more information on water testing check out Warning! That Glass of Drinking Water Is Recycled.
