Fluoride link to depression.

[janemariesayed]

For some of us wondering why on earth we do feel depressed, or others who know why but just can't pull themselves out of the feeling, I wonder if you have considered your depression having a link to fluoride.


England's public health has assured us that fluoride is safe to drink but scientists and some dentists disagree. Researchers have proved that fluoride is actually toxic for our bodies and can cause depression and weight gain as well as bone cancer and kidney disease. Fluoride can also cause tiredness and brain impairment.


Dentists have said that drinking fluoride to protect our teeth from cavities is like drinking hair dye to make your hair change colour. Even though the fluoride is only one part to one million parts water, it is still highly toxic. If your child swallows a pea size amount of toothpaste you are advised to whip your child off to the poisons unit asap.


It has been proven that after just a few years of consuming fluoride, our pineal gland will become calcified which brings on depression. Calcifying our pineal gland makes us quiet, we don't ask questions and live like robots just accepting what is 'as is' and telling ourselves that there is nothing we can do. It has become almost impossible to live a life without this toxin as it is put into our water which in turn is sprayed on our food. It's also given to our animals to drink so it still comes into our bodies.


We are actually drinking and brushing our teeth with toxic waste and the problem is world-wide.

I don't know if this is actually true. I have lived in a number of different cities across North America. Every place I have lived has had fluoridated water except this last place. And in this last place, my health has never been worse, I have had food poisoning more times than I can count (which I have come to believe is linked to bacteria in the water here), and I have gained weight and am at my heaviest. I feel the water from the tap is toxic and dirty, and I have never felt that anywhere else in my life. In other cities I never thought twice about using tap water for cooking or making coffee, but here I am so wary of the water I have realized how often we use and consume tap water without even realizing it.


And the link to depression and robot like thinking - well I have to say where I live now I feel everyone is depressed and stifled and would never rise up to question whether authorities should fluoridate the water. Every other place I have lived people are lively and questioning, yet here they are just stifled and controlled. And there is no fluoride in the water.


So I don't know if this is all linked to the water, but it is just my personal experiences and something I have actually thought about many times, since I have actually had horrible experiences now with unfluoridated water.

Hmm...actually I've heard the opposite, that the defluoridization of water (because people think it's toxic) is actually causing more depression! You mentioned that "this has been proven," but I would love to see some research behind it, as I have heard differently from doctors who are known worldwide!

 

[kgord]

I think this is not too likely because if it was proven, I don't think toothpast manufacturers would be putting it in toothpaste, and I don't think dentists would be recommending it. It probably is a theory that has never been conclusively proven. Many times when these studies are posted there are opposite studies that refute the findings of the first study. So it would be hard to find conclusive evidence.

I would love to see some links to the source articles that connect fluoride to depression. Though it would be a hard think to away from since most tap water has fluoride and most bottle water is just glorified top water. My grandma used to pump her water out of a underground reservoir and I always felt healthier drinking it but I was younger then so who knows.

 

[John Snort]

I've had to do some reading to find out if it actually causes depression and the article I read seems to confirm that fluoride is a neurotoxin and that it can actually cause depression. http://bebrainfit.com/fluoride-neurotoxin/

Once fluoride crosses the blood-brain barrier, it causes degeneration to specific parts of the brain — the hippocampus, the neocortex, and the cerebellum. The hippocampus is considered the seat of memory and is critical for learning, emotional regulation, and shutting off the stress response.

So if fluoride causes degeneration of the part of the brain that is critical to emotional regulation and shutting of stress response then yes, fluoride most certainly can be linked to depression.

I also wanted to add my child's pediatrician prescribed us fluoride tablets just based on our address, knowing we had no fluoride in the water. If it is proven that fluoride is so toxic I don't think the medical community would be prescribing it to our children.

 

[John Snort]

Maybe this is one of those "necessary evil" things. Sure, fluoride does prevent dental diseases and is present in groundwater but like everything else it could have some nasty side effects. I suppose though at the present the medical community will have to keep prescribing it until research emphatically proves that fluoride isn't good for one's mental health.

 

[redpanda]

I don't that's true (and I do work in the science field and have a biology degree), do you have a source? I'd be interested to see any studies that prove your theory. That's not sarcasm, either, I genuinely want to read the paper you're referencing. As far as I'm aware, flouride is harmless and responsible for preventing a ton of dental problems. I also haven't heard any dentists talk about the supposed toxicity of flouride but I really do want to check out your sources .

 

[janemariesayed]

I understand that this is a subject that is not very well known and I myself have done quite a bit of research over the past six months to find out more. You can google it yourself as there are so many links to read as well as videos on youtube.


Here are some links to how fluoride is toxic and can cause a number of problems.


This first one is from the Telegraph on the study carried out by the University of Kent.


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/scie...cientists.html


Here is another link on the same report of the findings by the University of Kent reported on RT.


https://www.rt.com/uk/235051-fluorid...ater-concerns/


This is a very interesting website stating 50 reasons to oppose water fluoridation written by Paul Connett PHD.


http://fluoridealert.org/articles/50-reasons/


There are many, many links and videos which you can see for yourselves on Youtube. If you google it you will find a lot written up on the subject. If you look on the side of your toothpaste for example, you should find that if your child swallows just a pea size amount of toothpaste then they should be taken to the poisons unit asap. I saw this on a youtube video, I use Euthamol toothpaste which is the only toothpaste I found that does not have fluoride added.


The subject is well worth looking into, which I researched for more than six months. I would suggest researching it further yourselves. I know that the governments of the world tell us this and that, but I am not one to always believe what I am told to believe until I have checked it out myself.


There are ways to eliminate fluoride from your body, and that is to take just a spoonful of tamarind. You can also add borax to your water (just a teaspoon) and this will make your water safe to drink.


Ask yourself this question:- Would the government want you to know that they are allowing the addition of toxic waste in our water. There are a lot of things going on that we don't know about. Naturally we are an inquisitive race of beings, but a calcified pineal gland dulls this to an almost zero to the point of we just 'accept and go with the flo'

I am not opposed to hearing scientific research about it but it seems there is very little and the whole anti- fluoride movement seems strange to me. Often you will hear this anti-fluoride movement referencing "fluoride calcifying our pineal gland". I have tried to look for any sort of scientific explanation of the pineal gland and calcification, etc., and I feel this is all just an urban myth. The people concerned with de-calcifying the pineal gland are also concerned with opening the "third eye", which is completely a new age idea and is not at all supported by any scientific, medical community.


Where I live they never put fluoride in the water because of the expense. They said it would raise the cost of water too much. So if there were studies proving it to be toxic then I'm sure local water authorities would jump on the chance to get rid of it and save money.


I'm not opposed to hearing real evidence against it but I just feel the whole movement is concocted. The problem with the internet is anyone can say anything and it looks official and like real "research". This is opposed to the day when you had to go to the library and to find real peer reviewed research journals from the medical community with actual scientific studies done.

 

[Panic57]

Since I can't get away from fluoride since it's in the water, I looked up on how to counter it online.


https://draxe.com/avoiding-fluoride-and-how-to-detox-it-from-your-body/


Basically, Tamarind, Manganese, and Iodine will help counter the effects of fluoride. Though, make sure to add more calcium to counter the Iodine. Plus, if you exercise hard enough to sweat, will help get rid of all toxins. So if you know your water is contaminated, go for a run and eat your fresh veggies and meat.


List of foods with Manganese, http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=77


and https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/foods-high-in-manganese.php


So if you are concerned, you can fight against it so don't feel like you don't have options and are helpless to whatever your government decides.

Yea, its quite normal for fluoride to be in the water systems to there is no way to full avoid it. Actually a little bit at a time is actually beneficial for you. I would definitely look into it. Maybe just buy fluoride free toothpaste and get a water purifier.

I also wanted to add my child's pediatrician prescribed us fluoride tablets just based on our address, knowing we had no fluoride in the water. If it is proven that fluoride is so toxic I don't think the medical community would be prescribing it to our children.

Of course they would. Where do you think the medical community gets its money from? They get it from people being constantly sick, so they have to go see a doctor and get toxic medications prescribed to them, which makes them more sick, which means they will return again and again to the doctor and end up taking more and more prescriptions. This is why so many doctors are in an uproar over natural vitamins and minerals. They can't earn anything from those, so they want them banned.

This website addresses a lot of ideas in the anti-flouride movement.  It states fluoride is not a medication, It is a mineral. It is added to the water for public heath benefit, in the same way as iodine is added to salt, folic acid is added to breads and cereals, and Vitamin D is added to milk.


I am all for uncovering conspiracies and not trusting the commonplace things we are made to believe.  But the biggest thing that causes me concern about the anti-flouride movement is the common referencing of the "calcifying of the pineal gland."  Google that and then google the pineal gland and the 3rd eye. To me the conspiracy more is why is some group so concerned with activating pineal glands and 3rd eyes. 


Surely this world is a strange place and it really is hard to figure out the truth.

Drinking water here in the US is quite dangerous.  The levels of fluoride are sometimes near poisonous levels.  I suppose there is some irony in the fact that water that is too clean can be as bad as water that is too dirty.    Anyhow, the link to depression is not surprising.

@janemariesayed, I think you brought up a very important point which we usually ignore.  I heard of its bad effects on our bones earlier but never thought of us having it inside.  It is very clear that fluoride pastes are harmful especially for kids.  It only whitens the teeth.  Kids have a tendency of swallowing it which adversely affect the over all strength of their bones. Enamel coating on our teeth is also badly affected by use of  fluoride pastes. 


I read this somewhere before so we use an ayurvedic tooth powder which is 100% natural.  It can be used with a brush for proper cleaning.  I got rid of my mouth ulcer once I started using this i.e. after saying goodbye to fluoride paste.
