Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is research about fluoride - it is NOT GOOD for us ... Health Effects: Fluoride & Bone: Density Vs. Strength.

Industrial fluorosis. Fluoride 14: 172-181. (You can 'google' this whole article -) Recent Advances in Iodine Nutrition - son, PhD BonesIodine and fluoride are both halides, so they share some chemistry, but they have very opposing effects in the body. For example, iodine and fluoride are both taken up by bone tissue. Radioactive iodine scans show the full outline of the skeletal system. Fluoride also goes to the bones, but it makes bones brittle and susceptible to fractures (37). It is likely that natural iodine is what is supposed to be in our bones, not fluoride, for which there is no known need in our body. Fluoride is toxic to bones as well as to the central nervous system, while iodine nourishes both. Very little research has been done in the area of iodine sufficiency and bone strength, but these ideas need to be evaluated clinically and in research studies.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 You are right, INDUSTRIAL fluoride is bad, as highlighted in red below. Health Effects: Fluoride & Bone: Density Vs. Strength. [cited April 5, 2006]; Available from: http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/bone/density/strength.html " whereas the bone may appear more dense radiologically, it may, in fact, be more fragile and more susceptible to fracture. Our findings of a highly significant increase in fractures in the high fluoride exposure group suggests that this may indeed be the case. " SOURCE: Carnow BW, Conibear SA. (1981). Industrial fluorosis. Fluoride 14: 172-181. This research does not apply to organic sources. The danger in research is needing to know just What is being researched. I remember hearing about a research project to look into using red raspberry leaves to help with birthing/labor. They tested it on a dog. The dog and most of the pups died and they wrote the herb off. Well, with a dog, you don’t WANT to speed up delivery...they need time between each birth. Humans don’t eat the placenta to give them strength for the next birthing...(shaking head)...we must learn to look deeper, what is being researched, who is funding the research, and what the source for the product is...all of this has potential to skew results. It is our need for fluoride that got us into trouble to begin with. During WW2, the ‘found’ a cheaper source, industrial waste/chemical format which presents the same but isn’t used the same by the body. They thought they could get rid of their wastes by putting it into our water and toothpaste. The biggest con of it is, we do need it, but the source has to be pure, or our body doesn’t recognize it and can’t work with it. Put Calc. Fluor. Tissue salts in your search engine, the results will be different. This fluoride is also a type of calcium. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/homeopathy_advice/Remedies/TISSUE_SALTS/calc-f.html copied and pasted for you below. Fluoride is needed to prevent organ prolapses, and more. Highlighted below. Essentially it helps build up our body tissue so that we don’t fall apart, and is part of anti-aging (not developing early wrinkles! Helps with varicose veins as well, and hemmoroids. Anything that builds cellular elasticity. IF it’s the right source!! SCHUESSLER'S TISSUE SALTS - CALC FLUOR Synonyms. - Calcii Fluoridum. Calcium Fluoride. Calcarea Fluorata. Common Name. - Fluorspar. Fluoride of Lime. Chemical Properties. - Formula, Ca F2. Specific gravity of crystals, 3.4. It contains 58.21 parts of calcium. It occurs in nature in mineral fluorspar; it is beautifully crystalline, crystallizing in various colors and in cubical or octahedral form. It is practically insoluble in water, but is decomposed by sulphuric acid generating hydrofluoric acid. Preparation. - Selected pieces of crystal flourspar are prepared by trituration, according to the methods of homeopathic pharmacy. Physiological - chemical Data. - Calc-fluor. is found in the surface of the bones and in the enamel of the teeth. It is also a constituent of the elastic fibres and of epidermis. Elastic fibres are found in the skin, in the connective tissue, and in the vascular walls. A disturbance of the equilibrium of the molecules of Calc-fluor. Causes a continued dilation, or chronically relaxed condition, of the implicated fibres. If the elastic fibres of any portion of the vessels of the connective tissue or of the lymphatic system have arrived at such a condition of relaxation, the absorption of a solid exudation in such a part cannot take place. In consequence, induration of the parts sets in. When the elastic fibres of the blood vessels suffer a disturbance of the molecules of Calc-fluor., such pathological enlargements of blood vessels take place, which make their appearance as hemorrhoidal tumors, varicose and enlarged veins and vascular tumors, indurated glands, post - partum hemorrhage, uterine displacements and weakening of abdominal walls. Loss of Calcarea fluorica in the system is thus seen to be followed by: 1. A hard, knotty exudation on the surface of a bone. 2. A relaxation of the elastic fibres, hence dilatation of vessels, relaxation and displacements of the uterus, relaxation of the abdominal walls, hence " hanging belly, " hemorrhage of womb; all absence of after - pains. 3. Exudation of Keratin from the cells of the epidermis. (Keratin is contained in the skin, hair and nails.) The exudation dries readily and forms an adhering crust. Frequently found in the palms of the hands, which, through labor, from fissures and cracks. In regard to the resorption of induration, two possibilities are to be thought of: (a) The elastic fibres near the induration have lost their functional ability on account of the pressure exerted. Molecules of Calcarea fluor. administered restore their functional integrity and thus are enabled to throw off the exudation, which will then be absorbed by the lymphatic vessels. ( By means of the volumetric force of Carbonic acid contained in the blood a part of the Fluorine is split off the fluoride of lime, this combines with nascent Hydrogen, forming Hydrofluoric acid, which gradually dissolves the molecules of the morbid product, and these are taken up by the lymphatics. The part played by the Carbonic acid can be assumed by Sulphuric acid as well. The latter is formed during the oxidation of albuminoids. In a similar manner, as explained under (, it is possible for Calcarea fluor. to bring about solution of a laryngeal croupous or diphtheritic exudation.

The most complete data are to be found in the Guiding Symptoms, vol. iii. The drug had been very little used, if at all, homeopathically, until Schuessler brought it into prominence. Administration. - The higher potencies of this drug give the best results, especially in affections of the bones. It can also be used externally in such diseases as fissura ani, bony growths, hemorrhoids, varicose veins and whitlow. It is applied by dissolving about twenty grains of the desired potency in half a glass of water and applying it on cotton, lint or other media. Schuessler recommended the 12th decimal trituration, but the 3x and 6x have been found very efficient. Relationship Relationship - Calcarea fluorica should be studied in its symptoms of the mind and larynx in connection with its relative Calc-carb.; in its sleep symptoms with Fluoric acid. In fibroid indurations compare Colc-jod., Kali jod., Mag mur. It corresponds to many symptoms of Phosphor., Mercur., Ruta, Aurum, Silicea, etc. often useful after Rhus in lumbago, having the same modalities; after Silicea in suppurations; after Bryonia and Calcarea in arthritis; after Sticta and Ferrum phos. in Synovitis; after Natrum mur. in cold sores. Compare: in swelling of skull of infants, Silicea; in suppuration of bones, Calc-phosph., Asafoet., Silicea; in spin of horses, phoshp. Acid and Silicea. In anemia it is useful after Calcar-phos.; in arterio - sclerosis compare the iodides, especially of Baryta, Calc. and Plumbum, also Baryta mur. Groups for Study. - For indurations: Calc-fluor., Baryta iod., Calcar-iod., Hecla lava, Asterias, Conium, Phytolacca, Carbo anim., Mercur., prot. Iod., Silicea. For Ozaena: Cadmium, Calc-phos., Nitric acid, kali bich., Aurum, Hepar, Antimon. Sulph. aur., Aurum mur. nat., Arsenic iod., Natrum carb., Syphilin. God bless, Esther N.
