I've been using the FluorideMaster whole house fluoride water filtration system and am impressed on how well it performs to completely remove or significantly reduce the floride in my water. I know that the company Vitasalus at http://www.vitasalus.com or http://www.equinox-products.com sells the FlourideMaster Whole Home Fluoride Water Filter System.

As an alternative to toothpaste, I use bar soap. There are all-natural, organic, and non-toxic soaps in different "flavors" (smells) out there, and a bar would last a year I guess. A few strokes on the bar and then work a lather as you brush, and it does clean as well as toothpaste. Not exactly the sort of thing easy to swallow, even by accident, unless the child has pica. The brush is enough scrubbing to get the crud off teeth, and the flavor of my current bar is a rosemary sage vegetable soap, so it has a "fatty" taste to it. I’m not a big fan of flouride either.

It's only topical application that has shown any effect - ie toothpaste. But the studies on INGESTING the stuff in any quantity shows it corrodes the gut lining and can exacerbate the effects of salicylates. Nevertheless, most dentists stand by it, but they are also making earners off the sale of fluoride products. I say we should never forget that some practitioners will back what they earn from and we shouldn't think they public are too stupid, apathetic or lazy to be able to tell infomercials from studies and to read the studies.

I myself vehemently oppose the fluoridation of drinking water in my area. In Greater Manchester, this seems to be an emotive issue, given several stories on how this 'mass medication' will 'reduce tooth decay' in the area. Back in the Victorian period, Manchester Corporation invested substantial amounts in providing clean (unadultered) water, building aqueducts from the Lake District and Longdendale areas. The result was fresh water from the Lake District and purpose built reservoirs in Longdendale (close to my locality). This aim should remain so. MPs and councillors should take note - not just on the effects of fluoridosis (fluoridation in Birmingham, UK has seen upward trends with this) - but also the effects on persons on the autism spectrum.

Your post would make interesting reading to some of the MPs and councillors within my area who are campaigning for fluoridation (on the grounds of reducing tooth decay). I vehemently oppose fluoridation and would like to see my tap water remain fresh and unadultered. I have also found a good website with substantial evidence against fluoridation: http://www.fluorideaction.net . Stuart. Hi Donna,

I am a big fan of your book "Nobody Nowhere". Thank you for the information on Salicylate and fluoride... I am going to switch to spring water drinking and be more aware of Salicylate-high foods...

When my son was small I did everythuing I could to ensure that he was the healthiest child ever.... like I fed him daily fluoride as it was (at that time hailed as) "The great saviour of teeth", and having been a child during WW2, I was very aware of my own dietry shortcomings. Now all children in Wales are fed fluoride in their water. Your post makes very frightening reading! The great thing is that you have been there ...and experienced it all.... and found out about the causes of problems ....and set about rectifying things. Oh my God!
