Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 , How have you gone about restricting or avoiding flouride? I know it's in most water sources, and can't be filtered out very well, and it's also in high concentrations in tea and coffee -- probably because they're processed with flouridated water -- but how in other ways have you reduced your flouride exposure?

Interestingly, my metabolic stability and body temperature have improved since I have excluded fluoride from my diet as much as possible. Fluoride is a direct antagonist of iodide, being more reactive. > R > [infections] thyroid med keeping me wide awake > > > > Since my last TSH was 150! (and my doc freaked out,) I started taking my thyroid meds again. The reason I had slacked off is because they always give me hyper symptoms no matter how small the dose. So I've been on a mere 30mg of armour for 3 days and sure enough last night woke up at 12:30 a.m. and was up until 4:30 a.m. What to do? I'm going to be more tired from a lack of sleep than a lack of thyroid hormone. The heart palps and hoarseness haven't even started yet, but that's next. The synthetic hormones are even worse than the natural Armour. > > So anybody got any good suggestions on how to get to sleep without side effects?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Thanks for your reply -- I'm curious, what is the brand of water that is flouride- free? And I'm assuming it's sold in bottles that don't leach plastic chemicals? ! --- In infections , " Windsor " <rwindsor@...> wrote: > > Dear Dan > Our local water supply is fluoridated to 1 ppm with fluorosilicic acid or similar ( the worst possible source of fluoride). I avoid it by drinking bottled water with zero fluoride ( only 1 brands here guarantee fluoride free). I've given up drinking tea (up to 30 ppm fluoride or so) and make my coffee with fluoride free water. Fluoride is also absorbed readily through the skin but I've so far not been able to avoid bathing or showering :-). > I've noticed a marked reduction in joint and muscle pain and far better thermal equilibration so far ( 3 weeks). I've actually cut back on pain meds significantly. My symptoms of intracranial hypertension have abated somewhat, less pain, less visual disturbance, but the double vision and tinnitus are still with me. > I need to get a baseline study of fluoride clearance and iodine levels done but I've lost faith in my duc so will probably bumble along on my own for a bit longer. > I have a couple of x-ray films taken 5 years apart which may show skeletal fluorosis but I'm damned if I will waste the money on having them read til I find a competent duc. > Regards > R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
