&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Neurotoxicity. &amp;nbsp;Because fluoride interacts with calcium ions needed for effective neurotransmission, fluoride can affect the nervous system.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Further neurological testing may be warranted to ascertain the conditions involved and the extent to which the nervous system is a target organ for fluoride toxicity.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Page 112 is just as important: &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Populations unusually susceptable to the toxic effects of fluoride and its compounds are the elderly, people with deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, and people with cardiovascular and kidney problems.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Because fluoride is excreted through the kidney, people with renal insufficiency would have impaired renal clearance of fluoride. People over the age of 50 often have decreased renal fluoride clearance.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Poor nutrition increases the incidence and severity of dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis.&lt;/p&gt;

But I am looked upon by my family as a &amp;quot;loon&amp;quot;. Yet they always tell me that I should &amp;quot;work&amp;quot; in a health food store. Well which is it. Either I know what I am talking about when I don&amp;#39;t want to use fluoride, and all the other dangerous drugs out there, or I don&amp;#39;t know Jack. I have been using the &amp;quot;training&amp;quot; toothpaste on my daughter all her life. She is now 12. My mother-in-law gasps that I still am using non fluoride toothpaste. I am so sick and tired of our &amp;quot;FDA&amp;quot; being sooooo concerned about our welfare,yeah right. I think we are all one experiment. It is so frustrated by it all&lt;/p&gt;

Was rejected by plebiscite first two, or three times, however, someone kept 'shoving' and eventually it passed. The only good part was that 'Hey, dentists will all be in homeless shelters within ten years'! Taking my daily stroll through the city's core I note that something went tragically wrong. Dentist's office to burn. Their Mercedes, 'Beamers and Hummers are every bit as big as the lawyers and oil execs. &amp;nbsp;Alderman proposed, about three weeks ago, that it again should be taken to the people. Have not heard a peep since. That alderperson may have mysteriously disarreared. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

When will you EVER learn?! It is completely unneccessary to use toothpaste of ANY kind in order to have the best oral health and to never go to the dental fraudsters ever again. I will tell you how! &amp;nbsp;But first...I offer my credentials.... since abandoning my dentist &amp;nbsp;and ANY form of toothpaste, my oral health has improved out of sight over the past five years or more. &amp;nbsp;My husband and I use the Oil Pulling technique which is simplicity itself. We have developed the technique further and would like to share it ( at absolutely no cost) with anyone who cares to write to me at .....birchbark@megabox.ru. Just think! No more &amp;nbsp;toothache! no more horrendous dental rip -offs ! instead be pain free, dentist free and a whole lot more financial. Know the joke?...........A guy goes to his dentist and says&amp;quot; don't you get sick of having your hands in people's mouths all day?&amp;quot; The dentist replies&amp;quot; No, I think of it as having my hands in their pockets!&amp;quot; But seriously...this alternative works and in a BIG way. No wonder it has been kept in the dark...it is so cheap and so effective and is totally do-able from the youngest to the oldest, plus a healthy diet of fresh foods(yes...including raw milk!). &amp;nbsp;The answer is in YOUR hands. All you need is the desire. It is up to you....we offer you the possibility &amp;nbsp;of boundless oral health. &amp;nbsp;I need to add , for obvious reasons...this is not offered as medical advice............&lt;/p&gt;

You may think you do but try and get it out of your water. Just remove all doubt for yourself. Work with your city council -who can get rid of the fluoride. I think they get bribes from the pro-fluoride people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This country is really close to a dictatorship. Are you going to be that patriot that helps restore our freedoms? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fluoride is in your food too- foods made with fluoridated water and fluoridated pesticides-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Industrial waste right in our water in the grand old USA. &amp;nbsp;How free do you think you are?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get the fluoride out. &lt;/p&gt;

I like the &amp;quot;orange&amp;quot; colored one that has a slight licorice flavor. I think that the SLS in my previous toothpaste was causing canker sores in my mouth. They've gone away since I started using this toothpaste. I absolutely love it.&lt;/p&gt;

Our local and national governments need to hear from us, letting them know where we stand........ remember, they will pay attention if enough of us confront them and demand changes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One organization that is in the battle to help save our health freedom is, the Natural Solutions Foundation........ healthfreedomusa@mail.democracyinaction.org &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This organization is helping to fight Codex Alimentarius and has thousands of supporters.....but we all need to get in there and show support! Please be a part of the fight to win back our health freedoms!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since I started using it around 1 1/2 year ago my teeth have become much healthier [I did use non fluoride toothpastes before for many years, but once finding out about petro-chemicals,I realized that there are in most non fluoride toothpastes still a lot of petro-chemicals in them like Sodium laureth sulfate[found as an engine decreaser] and propylene glycol [found as Anti freeze], ......why those aren't banned is just unbelievable...people just have to be made aware of, what they are putting into their mouths].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Young Living also do a very good mouthwash with Thieves essential oils, which is great for removing mouth ulcers .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The toothpaste is meant to be for adults, but my 6 year old has used it for the past year and enjoys using it....it isn't sharp [like some adult toothpastes] nor sweet [like some children's toothpastes].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone wishing to order and try some just log into youngliving.com ...they give 23% discount on wholesale,which anyone can use, but for your first order you'd need the following number 890577, after that you'd get your own to use to order, when ever you'd like to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are alternatives out there......other people just need to get to know about them.&lt;/p&gt;
