Fluoride Bad For Teeth

Fluorine is too high in your water. It causes problems. In high enough levels it can kill you.

Chiropractors are often the recipients of collective eye-rolls for their counter-conventional wisdom. We preached against HRT when it was all the rage. Currently, we are fighting the good fight against Statins which are probably the worst class of drugs to come down the pipeline for horrendous side-effects. SSRIs and other psycho-tropics are a close second (Prozac, you'll be happy to note has Fluoride as its main ingredient).

Then there are the sacred cows that we defy--immunizations and flu shots for example. Recommending against these "obviously good for you things" (I could dispute this but won't) makes us wack-jobs to some in the Medical World.

And then there are Super Sacred Cows like Fluorine in water. When a rational, scientific mind looks at all the research, fluoridation is perhaps one of the biggest examples of stupid group think to hit modern civilization. But that doesn't stop the government from mandating fluoridation. Oh no. Nevermind that fluorine was used, quite effectively, to subdue inmates in prisons (the Nazis used it first, isn't that great?). High levels make one dull and passive. Nevermind that fluorine is a halogen, very unstable and toxic at even minute doses and there is enough fluoride in a tube of toothpaste to kill a 25 pound child. Nevermind that fluoride renders sperm and therefore men impotent. It causes hip fractures in women. It prematurely ages people. It's associated with Parkinsons.

If you can afford it, get a filter for your house to get rid of fluorine. Use plain old baking soda to brush your teeth. And NEVER USE FLUORIDE products with children. They get way more than they need in water and other drinks. It is bad.
