Information about Fluoride and its Risks

More and more people are asking themselves serious questions and seeking serious answers about the Fluoride in their drinking and bathing water...is it dangerous?...toxic or poisonous?...will it give me cancer or some other chronic or deadly disease?...will it harm my family and loved ones? The following information and links will help you get the truthful answers you need and rightfully deserve.

Municipal water treatment plants have historically added fluoride to the water to help prevent tooth decay, and they typically try to maintain a level of approximately 0.4 mg/L (or 0.4 ppm) or higher. The MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of Fluoride established for drinking water by the U.S. EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) is 4 mg/L (or 4ppm). Water concentrations of Fluoride above 5 mg/L (or 5ppm) is detrimental to ones tooth structure and overall health. High concentrations are contained in waste water from the manufacture of glass, steel, aluminum, and foundry operations. If one would like to know the level of fluoride in their city/municipal water supply, they can obtain that information via a Water Quality Report link (usually a PDF) on their city/municipal water supplier website, or by calling them directly and asking.

Healthy natural, organic fluorine is present in food items such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Unhealthy inorganic fluorine, known as Fluoride (or other chemical names such as Sodium Fluoride (i.e. NaF or Na-F), HydroFluoSilicic acid (HFS), or Sodium SilicoFluoride (SSF)), is a waste product of aluminum and is found in toothpaste, fertilizers and some rat poisons. The MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of Fluoride established for drinking water by the U.S. EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) is 4 mg/L (or 4ppm).

It is said that approximately 2 out of every 3 people will battle cancer or some other chronic disease in their lifetime. With the odds of getting cancer or some other chronic disease so high, doesn't it make sense to minimize the overall toxin load on our body? Afterall, the value of a longer and healthier life for family and loved ones is priceless, isn't it?

Fluoride Information Contained in a Sample 2004 Water Quality Report

In a 2004 Water Quality Report for a certain public water supply, the following Public Notice was issued regarding Fluoride:
"This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2 mg/L of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their teeth (dental fluorosis). Dental fluorosis, in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4 mg/L of fluoride (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4 mg/L of fluoride, but we're required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your water exceed 2 mg/L because of this cosmetic dental problem. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from your drinking water."

Fluoride Information by Kevin Trudeau (Reporter, Author of Natural Cures book)

Product to Stay Away From: Fluoride
from Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures Newsletter, November 2004
Toothpaste with fluoride is deadly. I categorically, 100 percent recommend that no one should be using toothpaste
with fluoride in it. As always, I recommend that you stay away from any product manufactured by a large publicly traded
corporation. Publicly traded corporations have only one goal, and that is to make money. They will cut corners at every
chance and spend the majority of their money on marketing and packaging, not on the quality of the product. They will
do everything they can to produce that product at the lowest possible cost, thus ensuring that the natural state and quality
is adversely affected. Therefore, it is imperative that you stay away from toothpastes sold by large publicly traded
companies, and stay away from any toothpaste that has fluoride in it.

Fluoride is a dangerous, poisonous chemical. It is so deadly that even the smallest amount, if consumed, can kill
you. It causes all types of physiological problems; the most notable is fluoride reduces the ability of the thyroid gland to
operate correctly creating a condition known as a hypoactive thyroid, or an under active thyroid. When your thyroid is
not acting properly, your metabolism is very slow causing you to gain weight. Fluoride in toothpaste and fluoride in the
water is one of the major reasons why we have such obesity levels in America today. In communities that have the
highest amounts of fluoride in their water supply, there are also the highest amounts of obesity and a host of other
diseases. The link is indisputable. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day the first thing in the morning and
before you go to bed, and ideally, you should brush your teeth after every meal. Keep in mind, however, that animals in
the wild do not brush their teeth. Animals in the wild are eating raw, very hard crunchy material, thus cleaning their teeth
on a regular basis. Animals in the wild also do not consume the manmade processed food that cause tooth decay and gum disease.

If you want a beautiful healthy smile, brush your teeth but use a toothpaste that is 100 percent all-natural and has
ingredients that you can pronounce. I vary my toothpaste from time-to-time. When I finish one tube I go to the health
food store, see what is available, and I read the ingredient list. If there are only two or three ingredients that I can read and
pronounce and the company is a small independently owned business, I try that product. You should do the same. Even a
small amount of poisons in your mouth will get into your entire system. Repeatedly using fluoride toothpaste, or
toothpaste produced by large publicly traded corporations, suppress your immune system, make you depressed, and can
even make you fat.

Don't drink tap water
from Kevin Trudeau's NaturalCures.com website
All tap water is poisonous. All tap water is loaded with chlorine and chlorine by-products. Chlorine scars your arteries and, along with hydrogenated oil and homogenized dairy products, causes heart disease. Most tap water also has fluoride, which is one of the most poisonous and disease causing agents you can put in your body. Do not drink or use tap water for any reason except for washing your floor. You need to drink water, and the water must be pure Water is instrumental not only in flushing and nourishing the body, but also in keeping it hydrated and pH balanced. I recommend drinking a minimum of six large glasses of water per day.

Replacement Unit vs. Replacement Media

Historically, we have not offered the Replacement Media option. However, for some customers it is an appropriate option so we are now offering it, but, we want to alert consumers about the realities of the Replacement Media option (i.e., one or more bags of replacement media).

It is important to know that the proper process of emptying the tank, tank cleaning and disinfection, and pouring or layering of media is a laborious, time consuming and challenging process. The following aspects must be considered before choosing the Replacement Media Option:
1) Expired unit may weigh well over 100 pounds, with water and saturated media, making it very challenging for the average person to handle and manipulate when performing the proper media replacement process;
2) If a plumber or handy-person with basic plumbing experience is paid to handle the complete media replacement process, the consumer should be prepared to pay for an extra 1 to 2 hours of labor cost;
3) Unit must be properly emptied, cleaned and disinfected;
4) Rubber gloves should be used to avoid direct skin contact with expired media which may contain concentrations of certain contaminants which are unhealthy for human contact;
5) Careful attention must be exercised to prevent the introduction of bacteria and other contaminants into the unit during the refill process; and
6) Replacement Media must be properly poured and layered into the unit to insure effective water filtration performance.

Therefore, we generally do not recommend the Replacement Media approach for everyone. Instead, we provide our existing customers with a Pre-loaded and Ready-to-Install Replacement Unit that can quickly and easily replace their old unit simply by sliding out the old and sliding in the new with our easy PVC connectors. The best aspect of our Replacement Unit approach is that the home-owner or anyone with very basic plumbing experience can handle the simple replacement process; they can also have great confidence that when the process is completed that their new Replacement Unit will work properly without any of the previously mentioned potential challenges.
