CHRONIC FLUORIDE TOXICITY SYNDROME

The following is an excerpt from the reference work Fluoridation the

Great Dilemma by the three respected researchers noted below.

" Most of the following reversible ill effects caused by fluoride were

first recognized among aluminum workers in tile 1930's by the Danish

health officer Dr. Kaj Roholm. Not all the symptoms are necessarily

present at the same time. Their severity and duration (often

episodic) depend on a person's age, nutrition status, environments

kidney function, amount of fluoride ingested. genetic background,

tendency to allergies, and other factors

To test for fluoride intoxication, the following procedures MUST be

rigorously followed. Avoid all fluoridated water (substitute

distilled or other nonfluoridated, low-fluoride water), fluorided

beverages, fluoride-rich foods (tea, ocean fish, gelatin, skin of

chicken, etc.), fluoridated toothpastes, and any other source of

environmental fluoride, including cigarette smoke and industrial

pollution (see Chapter 19, pages 376-377, above). If symptoms are in

fact caused by fluoride, they should diminish markedly within a week

and largely disappear within several weeks. If Symptoms persist,

consult a physician for possible alternative problems. True Fluoride

toxicosis can be reproduced by re-exposure to fluorides from whatever

source.

CAVEAT: The following list contains symptoms that can have other

origins even in someone suffering from chronic fluoride poisoning:

Chronic fatigue not relieved by extra sleep or rest

Headaches

Dryness of the throat and excessive water consumption

Frequent need to urinate

Urinary tract irritation

Aches and stiffness in muscles/bones (arthritic-like pain)

In lower back In neck area

Muscle spasms (involuntary twitching)

Tingling sensations in fingers (especially) and feet

Gastrointestinal disturbances

Abdominal pains Blood in stools

Diarrhea Bloated feeling (gas)

Constipation Tenderness in stomach area

Skin rash or itching, especially after showers or bathing.

Mouth sores (also from fluoridated toothpaste)

Loss of mental acuity and ability to concentrate

Depression

Excessive nervousness

Dizziness

Tendency to lose balance

Visual disturbances

Temporary blind spots in field of vision
