Fluoride is an anti-thyroid drug given to slow down a hyperactive gland. On someone with an underperforming one, this&amp;nbsp;can be&amp;nbsp;perilous. On top of all that, she was given Effexor as a teen for "depression." I have lived with her for almost five years and I can tell you absolutely she is in no way depressed. She's bright and creative and is doing an amazing job of raising her three year old daughter. We have r/o filters my husband put in to filter our water supply and will not drink water from any other source. Flying on a plane from Atlanta to Phoenix posed a problem for her and she just didn't drink any water at all until she got there and drank distilled water untill she returned home. What a bother. With all the terrorism threats you can't even take your own water on the plane anymore. Ain't the world we live in grand??&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=89015" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally the Media Is Recognizing The Perils of Fluoridated Water</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/01/31/Finally-the-Media-Is-Recognizing-The-Perils-of-Fluoridated-Water.aspx#89014</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:13:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:89014</guid><dc:creator>N.

Research has shown that ingesting it doesn't have the beneficial effect we thought it had, but that when applied topically does have some positive effect (although not huge).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The idea that some small quantity might&amp;nbsp; be ingested while I'm brushing my teeth isn't going to keep me up at night. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've been following this site for some time and find it to be the best of its kind, but I'm concerned that it is becoming increasingly alarmist. &lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=89012" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally the Media Is Recognizing The Perils of Fluoridated Water</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/01/31/Finally-the-Media-Is-Recognizing-The-Perils-of-Fluoridated-Water.aspx#89010</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Feb 2007 07:10:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:89010</guid><dc:creator>Sean Uisce</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Human breast milk delivers only 0.004-5 parts fluoride per million of milk to the baby - 250 times LESS than considered 'safe &amp;amp; effective' and 'optimal' for us by authorities! Authorities who have had safety data sheets from suppliers telling them for decades that workers handling the product ought to wear full protective clothing! (Lawyers sharpen your pens and get out your calculators - and come over here to Ireland where we've legally HAD to fluoridate our waters thanks to some nifty pro-fluoride legislation enacted in the 1960's!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And just so you know the margins we're talking about here... 1 part per million is like 1 minute in 23 months, 4 days and some hours. And 0.004-5ppm is like one quarter of a second out of that same period-!! That's the level nature wants a baby to get. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yet Wal-Mart are still peddling bottled fluoridated water for babies and children. Please consider signing this petition asking them to stop &lt;a title=blocked::http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/walmart/ href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/walmart/"&gt;http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/walmart/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Australian government has gone one step further and fluoride is now listed as a nutrient in our new system of Nutrient Reference Values. It is interesting that there are more than fifty studies, including those from the prestigious Nippon Dental Laboratories, showing that fluoride does nothing to prevent tooth decay. More interesting that a former waste product has become a profitable business.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=89009" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally the Media Is Recognizing The Perils of Fluoridated Water</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/01/31/Finally-the-Media-Is-Recognizing-The-Perils-of-Fluoridated-Water.aspx#89007</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Feb 2007 00:43:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:89007</guid><dc:creator>The Tim Potter</dc:creator><description>I just had a routine checkup with my doctor and he recommended that young children ingest fluoride pills in addition to fluoridated toothpaste.&amp;nbsp; Unbelievable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=89007" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally the Media Is Recognizing The Perils of Fluoridated Water</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/01/31/Finally-the-Media-Is-Recognizing-The-Perils-of-Fluoridated-Water.aspx#89006</link><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 21:02:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:89006</guid><dc:creator>Russ Bianchi</dc:creator><description>"My, doesn't he/she look nature" the almost cliche response at a body viewing at a funeral home, or house of worship.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Give me a break, the only decent looking thing on the cadaver is the white teeth, from allegedly "safe: (NOT TRUE) fluorinated water or tooth whiting products on the market that are ALL HARMFUL.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=89006" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
