The above link gives a pretty fair description of what happened. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi all, this was a bad day for these people who are forced to drink water with fluoride added. the only coarse open is to use bottle water or some sort of filtering. nor perfect but better than what is potentially bad water.Angel.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It is very strange that in a democracy that the people have no say in what is forced upon them, in the way of a medication that will for sure make many more people ill with thyroid problems. We may not be as free as we are told we are, and maybe we live in a dictatorship where the elite have the power and the motivation to ruin lives. It will be difficult to avoid this mass medication that 'they' are rolling out, and bottled water is only a small part of the solution. The fluoride can seep into the system through the skin as you soak in a bath, I have read that this was a treatment for hyperthyroid patients at one time. If you put epsom salts into the bath water it could help counter this, though I can't remember where I read this. Where I live we have the most dreadful water because it contains vast amounts of chlorine, which is carcenogenic. It forms a gas that is breathed in as the tap runs to do dishes etc, and evaporates from the toilet bowl into the house, it is essential to get plenty of ventilation to stop it building up. Every time we go away and return home I notice how foul the water is, the worst I have ever come across! I would rather drink the municipal swimming pool as it has less chlorine in it than the stuff that comes out of my taps. It is possible to filter it out and I do have a jug filter, but the reverse osmosis filter that would get rid of it throughout the house is too extravagant on water as it rejects a lot of it during the filtering process. love janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 and the worst part about it is that even if you buy an expensive water filter system to filter the incoming water at source IT DOES NOT REMOVE FLUORIDE!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If you're concerned more about chlorine than fluoride, an activated charcoal " filter " will adsorb chlorine but not fluoride out of water. Reverse osmosis removes virtually everything. A charcoal " filter " has to be regenerated every once in a while by backflushing or charcoal replacement. (I put the term " filter " in quotes because these charcoal devices are not meant to remove fine solid particles, as true filters do, but rather attract and hold dissolved substances out of the water. Most laypersons and even plumbers use the term filter to mean any device that removes something from water.) Letting water stand will remove chlorine from water by dissipation into the air and by light-catalyzed reaction with anything organic (carbon-containing) in the water or settling out of the air into the water (dust, for instance). > > > > Where I live we have the most dreadful water because it contains vast amounts of chlorine, which is carcenogenic.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It is indeed a bad day. I actually thought they had studies that had proven that fluoride has very little if any affect on dental health and that the detrimental effects outweigh the good. I'm pretty sure there is no real democracy if 78% of people can oppose this and still have their only water supply essentially poisoned as if their opinions and health do not matter. I'm going to go now before I start ranting on but this really really annoys me - my hypothyroid cousin lives in a fluoridated area in Birmingham and already has to go the whole bottled water route that she can ill afford as she is off sick and on benefits just to have water she can actually drink. The fact that this decision could help it being rolled out nationwide is just terrifying. > > Hi all, this was a bad day for these people who are forced to drink water with > fluoride added. the only coarse open is to use bottle water or some sort of > filtering. > nor perfect but better than what is potentially bad water.Angel. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
