Re: what the heck is wrong w/ my kombucha? - Fluoride and plants.

[Guest guest]

Adding something like gypsum (calcium sulfate) to the soil should help

make it much less bioavailable to plants, reducing the amounts

absorbed. The calcium binds to the fluoride ions and the plants

should absorb much less of the fluoride in that form. Gypsum is good

because it doesn't change the pH much, limestone would also work but

would buffer the soil.

From my research, most veggies don't really absorb much fluoride, even

when watered with 10x the amount normally found in tap water (I don't

have this article anymore though). Amaranth and root vegetables

absorbed the most fluoride, brassicas and other greens absorbed very

little to the point of not being a significant source of dietary

fluoride IMO. Fruits (including peppers and tomatoes) absorbed the

least amount of fluoride from soil.

So you can still garden and be happy and healthy but just try to avoid

drinking fluoridated water!

Awesome information, did not think to check it out just made

the erroneous assumption that everything would have absorbed

the fluoride. Will have to do some research as have sandy loam

thus gypsum sounds like the best option. you have actually

relived some of my worry. Will have to find a way to budget in

a whole house system in the next year or so, as worry about bathing

in fluoride and chlorine as well.

Thank you for sharing this wonder information with me.

I definitely think baths are an easy way to really absorb high amounts

of fluoride. As far as showers I think temperature and time are big

factors, so I take quick showers and they are cool for the most part.

I have a chlorine filter for the shower but never found a good

affordable solution for fluoride.

But as far as gardens, do whatever you can to make sure there is

enough calcium in the soil and you will be fine. If you want to take

the chlorine out of the water you can let it sit in 5 gallon buckets

and it will all be out within 24 hours, many say less. Chlorine is

bad for the healthy microbes in the soil.

I've noticed good results from supplementing with both calcium and

magnesium in regards to fluoride symptoms. Calcium helps binds it

securely and magnesium helps with all the enzymes that fluoride

inhibits.

You are correct about the baths, my doctor is want me to take

two a week with Epsom salt and peroxide. The rest of the week

dry brush then spray with peroxide and apply Epsom salt then let it melt

on skin and rinse off. Years ago camping in National Parks learned

to take a 3 minute show they take longer doing this however step out of

the water to apply the Epsom salt then just a quick rinse.

Great ideal for the water will have to get a large metal barrel they

sell them really cheap that would make it easier, am also trying to remove

all plastic from my life as well. Picked up the gypsum today plan on

working it into the soil around the plants this year. Then in the fall

putting more down this should help it to be ready next spring.

Have used Epsom salts on my grass, plants as well as garden for

many years the gypsum should be a nice balance.

Again thank you for all your help.

May I ask you all what is the reason for spraying the body with

peroxide?
