Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 No, a reverse osmosis system does NOT remove fluoride!!!!! There is not a system on the market that will say that it removes fluoride let alone does it. Glynis > Flouride unless its naturally occuring is also a cumilative toxic poison > > Flouride is implicated in numerous cancers and for triggering Thyroid Diseases > > The only way to really remove it from your water supply is to fit an expensive Reverse Osmosis Filtering system > > Pat > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Which is why we are on the IODINE protocol and salt loading protocol everyday. The halides are all around us which is why I always speak specifically about Bromide/Bromine. We can't get away from it because it's in everything. Floride is also in toothpaste. If you are using a natural toothpaste or making your own, this is best. Even though we don't swallow toothpaste, it still enters our systems. The best we can do is to do the protocols every day for maintenance. === " Is there a practical and simple way to lower the body's burden of fluoride and bromide? It has been known for sometime now that bromide competes with chloride in the extracellular space and that the total molar concentration of bromide plus chloride remains constant. (8) This concept has been used to decrease extracellular bromide levels by saline loading. However, the presence of bromide in the thyroid gland (9) and the central nervous system (10) suggests that there is another intracellular " pool " of bromide, not responding to chloride. In the thyroid gland, bromide competes with Iodide for uptake, oxydation and organification. " Therefore, increasing iodide intake should lower bromide levels in the thyroid, preventing and reversing its thyrotoxic and goitrogenic effects. The same applies to fluoride. Galletti and Joyet (12) evaluated the effect of 5-10 mg fluoride on thyroid functions in hyperthyroid patients. Although fluoride inhibited the iodide-concentrating mechanism of the thyroid, fluoride did not accumulate in the thyroid. Based on their radioactive tracer studies, they concluded " Fluorine does not impair the capacity of the gland to synthesize thyroid hormones when there is an abundance of iodide in the blood. " Therefore, fluoride toxicity depends on iodide supply. " " Following supplementation with the iodine/iodide preparation, there was a progressive increase in the excretion of fluoride and bromide. With 3 tablets, the 24h excretion of fluoride was 17.5 times baseline level; and for bromide, 18 times baseline level. These high levels persisted even after one month of supplementation at 3 tablets/day, being 15 times baseline level for fluoride, and 16 times for bromide. After one month, the estimated total amount of halide excreted was 24 mg fluoride and 8700mg bromide. It is unlikely that such large amounts of halides came from the thyroid gland. It would seem that the whole body is being detoxified. Orthoiodosupplementation could be used under medical supervision to detoxify the body from unwanted halides in a manner similar to the use of EDTA for the detoxification of heavy metals.=== http://curezone.com/forums/fmp.asp?i=851029 Cheers, JOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
