After a while i felt something odd in my mouth--it was the lining to the roof of my mouth--it had been burned off--and shed itslef to dispose of the toxins, i guess. &lt;/p&gt;

During that time I had two young children at home who were ordered by their dentist to start taking flouride tablets. Naturally, being new to the field, I started reasearching flouride supplementation and was shocked to find so many problems associated with it. My wife refused to believe me when I informed her of the poisonous aspects of flouride and continued with the flouride tablets for another year. Our children, now 13 and 15, have a mottled appearance to their two front teeth. The flouride was cut off after much argument (just try to change your wife's decision). I refused to allow it to go on after the year. I have become a cynic and a questioner of all things written and spoken in the last seven years. You have to follow the money and find the real source of where this health-benefit-touting information is coming from. &amp;nbsp;When you find the true source, you find the sham. Flouride IS poison! When someone tells me their city water is not contaminated my next question is: how many 24 packs of bottled water do you buy from your market each year? Invariably the answer is 15-30. &amp;nbsp;And then, you see this blank stare and you see the brain gears turning. &amp;nbsp;Bottled water IS mostly filtered water (which does not remove flouride) from a municipal source that is bottled as far away as several hundred miles. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My point is this: &amp;nbsp;If you want to remove flouride from your diet, be very careful of what you put in your mouth and that includes 99% of all the juices you buy. (Made from concentrate! They use municipal water for that.) &lt;/p&gt;

I don't trust much in the medical community as a whole. &amp;nbsp;You MUST stand up for yourself or they will make you feel that you are just a fool. I get this all the time from doctors. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;i lived in a major city most of my childhood with fluoridated water and didn't have much trouble with cavities. &amp;nbsp;my children, same thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we moved up north where there is no city water - just artesian well water with UV filtration systems (otherwise it stinks of rotten eggs and is pretty much undrinkable) and cavities are a serious problem. &amp;nbsp;i also noted that most ppl had very yellowish teeth while mine and my daughters' are very white.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i can buy that govt is slanting studies and misrepresenting results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i don't buy that the health industry and related interests wouldn't do the same if it was expedient.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oh - and the &amp;quot;active ingredient&amp;quot; on the box of rat poison in my garage isn't fluoride - it's strychnine. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, officials of the PHS, EPA, NAS-NRC, AAAS, WHO, RCP, AMA and the ADA should ask themselves how they will appear in the ultimate judgment of history for suppressing the very findings they are sworn to reveal. Although they could have blown the whistle years ago, when adverse effects where first reported, they failed to do so. And their culpability is constantly increasing as more and more evidence of harm from fluoridation comes to light; all their efforts to contain the bad news will ultimately collapse like the bursting of a dam as floodwaters of public indignation are unleashed. Their loss of prestige will be inescapable, and science's golden image will be more severely tarnished than it has ever been in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
