Fluoride: the mother of all band-aids : Comments

By David Gillespie, published 5/1/2009

If mass medication is the way we solve society’s lifestyle influenced health problems, then why stop at fluoride?

Using the GOOGLE search engine for [ nazi flouride additive ] I got a total of 17,300 hits but spelling the same search as "fluoride" I got a total of 5,490 hits. Can some one tell me what this means?

Supertooth. I have an article from Hansard where the Health Minister, the Hon Stephen Robertson answers a question on notice No: 1987 (asked on the 4th December 2008) and says a child aged 4 - 8 years can safely consume 2.2 mg/day of fluoride without adverse health effects.
He is wrong as according to you fluorosis of the teeth can occur at a much lower dose than this. Others would agree with you.

Fluorosis is an adverse health effect. The chemical companies selling these fluorides say fluorosis is a symptom of overexposure.
They say overexposure to their fluorides can result in teeth fluorosis, nausea, stomach problems and skeletal fluorosis.

What does it matter if your teeth have no holes if you have overdosed on fluoride and damaged your teeth,bones and health?

Another article regarding fluoride. This thread is educational for me. I came on board earlier just to say corporate ADA, American Dental Association can't be trusted giving their ADA Seal of Approval and this was based on my personal experience with the ADA keeping the denturist and dental health aide therapist from practicing here in the United States. This thread has taken me into a new area of study and consideration. Thanks for being here.

Using the YAHOO search engine for[ nazi flouride additive ] I got a total of 25,000 hits and for the same search spelling "fluoride" I got 26,600 hits. The AMA is the biggest collection of quacks since god created the duck. So what if a nuerotoxic carcinogen decreases the incidence of dental cavaties.

It is still OK WWG, 2.2mg of fluoride salt contains about 1mg of fluoride, which is in 1 liter of water. Some believe it should be a little less to try and prevent mild fluorosis which is not a health risk and could be associated with ingestion of fluoride toothpaste because it is better not to wash the paste off teeth after brushing.

However even with fluoridation, tooth decay is still the most common disease. Though there has been a significant drop in caries incidence with only one cavity per 12 year old child, this increases four fold by age 21.

This indicates that although there is an increase in resistance to acid demineralization it just takes linger to develop cavities so we need to look for better personal tooth care that can help reduce acid demineralization and increase saliva and other remineralisation as seen in the www.supertooth.org web site particularly inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where over 80% of cavities occur.
