This gland is thought to control the person's extrasensory perceptions and intuition. Hmmmmm, what's the best way to control a person besides fear? Make them labile! &lt;br /&gt;Fluoride isn't just a plot to give us cavities and fill the pockets of the dentists, although it was a good ploy. It's mass medication.&lt;br /&gt;Avoid it as much as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace, Love, and Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You Dr. Mercola for spreading the TRUTH!&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102010" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Dangerous Fluoride Deception You Need to be Aware Of</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/05/The-Dangerous-Fluoride-Deception-You-Need-to-be-Aware-Of.aspx#102007</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jun 2007 20:40:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102007</guid><dc:creator>N.

My Mom was a dental assistant for about 30 years and She was pregnant with a little girl while she was assisting. When she was born her face was deformed! She died when she was about 9 months. We think it was partly from just having the horrible fumes of mercury and everything else in that office. I am not that old but I know a little about fluoride. Almost every time I went to the dentist I would Get horrible headaches. I started using herbal tooth past and mouth wash and My teeth are just as healthy, probably more so than before. Our family has never done the fluoride thing. We always thought it was toxic and this confirms that it is.

I have a PUR faucet filter, which filters out the chlorine, lead, and other contaminents (or so they say). I decided against reverse osmosis becuase although it filters flouride, it filters everything as well; thus your left with pure distilled water. But somehow I don't think that water in it's natural state is 100% pure. In nature, water contains various elements. Don't get me wrong, I know our drinking water sucks, but I see us as being in a Catch 22 because if we start tampering with our water supply, we further perpetuate the very thing we're trying to avoid; pure drinking water.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Am I wrong on this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102000" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Dangerous Fluoride Deception You Need to be Aware Of</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/05/The-Dangerous-Fluoride-Deception-You-Need-to-be-Aware-Of.aspx#101999</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 13:59:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:101999</guid><dc:creator>KatRatVet</dc:creator><description>I have just recently become aware of the dangers of flouride.&amp;nbsp; When my kids were smaller, the dentist would have our water tested (I have always been on well water) to see the flouride content and most often, we had enough natural flouride in the water that the kids did not need supplements.&amp;nbsp; Only one place was low enough for supplements, but even when I had them, I rarely remembered to have them take them.&amp;nbsp; So I'm wondering about these areas with natural flouride in the water.&amp;nbsp; Should it also be filtered out or is it okay?&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=101999" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Dangerous Fluoride Deception You Need to be Aware Of</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/05/The-Dangerous-Fluoride-Deception-You-Need-to-be-Aware-Of.aspx#101998</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 13:35:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:101998</guid><dc:creator>RockInMom</dc:creator><description>Of course&amp;nbsp;flouride in high doses isn't good or safe for anyone...but is anyone taking into account the other ingredients listed on the tube of toothpaste that may account for some of these side effects.&amp;nbsp; For example: Propylene Glycol and Sodium Lauryl (Laureth) Sulfate.&amp;nbsp; These ingredients are also found in most products, besides toothpaste&amp;nbsp;and can cause all of these issues and more!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think it's time we start looking at what the FDA deems "safe" for us to use eveyday!&lt;br&gt;Michelle&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=101998" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Dangerous Fluoride Deception You Need to be Aware Of</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/05/The-Dangerous-Fluoride-Deception-You-Need-to-be-Aware-Of.aspx#101995</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 11:59:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:101995</guid><dc:creator>exploited</dc:creator><description>Fluoride may be&amp;nbsp;harmful.
