My Personal Experience With Fluoride

What I Do to Avoid it

I recently published a newsletter about the effects of fluoride on health. But I wanted to share my personal experience with it, today.

Or, instead of reading it, you can watch the video version of this, here.

I raised my four children in one of the last counties in America that was not fluoridating the water. Adding fluoride to water is forcible mass medication with a known poison.

I didn’t know better than to fill a prescription of the blue pills for my oldest child, in kindergarten, which the pediatrician had told me he “needed” because our water wasn’t fluoridated.

I fed my son ONE of those pills, and then my gut told me to stop doing it, and learn more about it.

Turns out, the scientific evidence had been proven decades before, in many published studies, that consuming this neurotoxin doesn’t prevent cavities.

But it does harm a child in many different ways. Including calcifying the pineal gland and robbing children of IQ when the mother drinks fluoridated water while pregnant.

Not to mention osteoporosis, weakening tooth enamel, the teeth turning brown, called fluorosis, and fluorosis effects on the bones of the whole body as well.

My husband, growing up earlier in that same county, was fed little cups of fluoride in his 4^th, 5^th and 6^th grade classes.

The school nurse and the public health system were told that since chemical fluoride wasn’t added to our water, we had to get it in the kids one way or another.

To help prevent cavities. That’s the story.

So why was Utah County not fluoridating the water? A husband and wife who owned the 5 Good Earth stores, one of the last privately owned chain of health food stores in America still standing, fought the anti-fluoride fight for years, in Utah County.

The Ken and Rae Howard family’s activism kept fluoride out of the water.

Year after year, they went to the Republican county and state conventions, to speak on the subject of what the data tells us about human beings consuming fluoride.

Year after year, they’d convince local legislators into voting NO on fluoridating the water.

Sadly, Ken and Rae Howard both died ten years ago. Utah County now fluoridates the water that people drink and shower in, like everyone else in America.

You can refuse the fluoride treatment at the dentist, as I have done for 25 years. You can also buy fluoride-free toothpaste.

The biggest issue, though, because you swallow the fluoride, is to get it out of the water you drink.

Drinking bottled water has its own risks, including microplastics that do not degrade and are “obesogens” (making it difficult to lose weight), among other health risks.

Not to mention that last I read, well over one million water bottles go to landfills every day in America.

And, most of the bottled water is actually just tap water containing chlorine and fluoride!

Filtering your own water is the best solution. I have researched this for decades, and this is the “cheapest best” water filter I’ve ever found.

Since I’m often asked this question by people aware of the health damage from fluoride and also the chlorine they add to kill pathogens, a good water filter takes the fluoride and chlorine and dozens of other toxic chemicals out of the water, before you drink it.

(The Brita pitcher gets rid of some of the chlorine, but not fluoride and many other toxins. Check out the pitcher from the company in the link above, for the most economical approach. You can buy replacement filters to go in the pitcher. Vastly superior to the Brita, because it removes lead, PFAS, fluoride and much more, and leaves minerals in your water.)

The oldest and most well known water filter company, Berkey, has been harassed by the FDA to the point where they cannot sell their product any more.

As I watch the heavy handedness of FDA against approaches to health that are counter to pharma and Western medicine narratives, I think that getting what you need as tools for your own health are the most important steps we can take for preparedness against an uncertain future.
