This is freaking me out considering I eat about 25 OZ of Tuna every week.

I only read the first one. I will finish the rest but that was a great read. Thanks!

I took a peek at the links, but I will fully read and post later. Good looks DC, this only confirms what I have been suspecting a long time ago. Just as an aside, people have been eating for years on this planet and why are we overweight (myself included) and getting sick at a much faster rate than ever before? That information alone doesn't add up.

Good thread. Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About" fits this...
Did you know fluoride in toothpaste is downright horrible for your body.? Forgot the effects. I buy Tom's All Natural now, w/o fluoride, and I don't feel sick in the mornings after brushing my teeth..

Some of us have to drive to work....and most of us don't have printers in our cars, fancy pants. It would be easier to print at home. You're worried about people's safety and then you write something like that.

Better get ready for the survival list. Here is a good one for starters: http://www.survivalblog.com/newbies.html
PBS also did a special on the VACCINE WAR:http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/vaccines/view/
(NaturalNews)Fluoride is getting a lot of bad press these days, and for good reason: it is a toxic molecule that wreaks extensive, often irreversible, havoc on the body.The thyroid is particularly affected by fluoride exposurebecause its store of iodine is depleted. Iodine deficiency depresses the thyroid's metabolic and immune functions, resulting in hypothyroidism and lowered immunity.
Fluoride and iodine are both halogens.Fluoride, the negative ion of the element fluorine,easily displaces iodine in the bodybecause it is much lighter and therefore more reactive. In fact, the activity of any one of the halogens (Iodine 126.70, Bromine 79.90, Chlorine 35.45, Fluorine 18.99 are the most common) is inversely proportional to its atomic weight. In other words, one halogen can displace another one of a higher atomic weight but cannot displace one of lower weight.
Lack of iodine shuts down production of thyroxine, the thyroid prohormone that controls metabolism, and, in one way or another, impacts every aspect of health. The resulting hypothyroidism causes weight gain, cold intolerance, dry and prematurely aged skin, depression, constipation, hair loss, memory loss, irritability, increased cholesterol levels, heart disease and loss of libido.
But the action of iodine in the thyroid is not limited to metabolism; it also has an important immune function. Blood circulates through the thyroid once every 17 minutes in what has been called the'17 minute passage'. Secretion of iodine, a potent germ killer, into the blood stream as it is passing through the thyroid weakens invading organisms, allowing them to be more easily eradicated. If the thyroid is deficient in iodine, this critical step in immunity will be reduced or eliminated.
Unlike iodine, which the body cannot store long-term,fluoride is a problematic and persistent toxin. Its effects are systemic and only about half of what is ingested can be excreted; the rest is stored in bones and tissues, blocking access to other elements, like iodine.
Fluoride exposurecan come from multiple obvious and not-so-obvious sources. In addition todental hygiene productsanddrinking water, manybreakfast cereals,juices from concentrate,sodaand otherprocessed foodscontain alarming levels.Fluoride-containing pesticide usemeans that the environment is being flooded with fluoride by conventional agriculture (http://www.fluoridealert.org/f-pest...). Also, manyantidepressantscontain large amounts of fluoride and are widely prescribed, often for a lifetime of use.
Conventional medicine's response to hypothyroidism typically ignores causesand prescribes synthetic thyroxine hormone in an attempt to balance out the health equation with another unnatural substance; this is nothing new. Buthypothyroidism is a national epidemic, affecting roughly 10% of the female population in the US and in no way sparing men. It has created a stable, ever-expanding market for thesecash cow thyroid drugs(the leading thyroid drug was number 7 on JAMA's list of 'most commonly prescribed' in 2006; one year later it was number 4).
One might assume then that fluoride's role in depressing thyroid function is a new discovery, that government fluoride programs simply lack this vital information. Yetresearch has been taking place since the 1930s, when fluoride was used to treat individuals with overactive thyroid. The relationship is well established, and old.
Which leads inevitably to a difficult question:How could government allow fluoride addition to drinking water, approve fluoride-containing drugs and pesticides, and fail to test for fluoride content in food when there is a known connection with serious thyroid complications?
Perhaps the cash value of the fact that millions of Americans take thyroid drugs, and most likely will take them the rest of their lives, can suggest an unbiased, honest answer.

Has anybody ever read the studies they refer to with the negative effects of fluoridation? I'm in the dental profession and I had to read a few of them when I was in university. The fluoride levels related to the negative effects were extremely high. Nowhere near the levels we'll get through regulated fluoridated water. The toxicities actually came from natural water sources that had high fluoride levels.
Now I'm not saying that I'm totally pro fluoridated water. Ethically, I believe there is a valid argument regarding mass medication.

There are plenty of propaganda sites for either side of an issue. I mean have you ever heard of the dangerous effects of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
DHM

Going through that site and you'd think its some dangerous chemical. When actually it's just water.

sorry if it sounds like i'm ranting, but...
this loser right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield
http://www.cnn.com/2011/H...tism.vaccines/index.html
the fact that there is a huge difference between ethyl-mercury (non poisonous) and methyl-mercury (toxic).
the fact that autism is generally undetectable until surprise surprise the age at which kids get a ton of vaccines.
and because parents will certainly say "I KNOW THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME"-- there is no way dissuade them.
and this last one sounds corny, but i took neurology courses with pioneers and experts in the field, and read the raw data and the papers. they did control studies and switched the "villain" Thimerosal (ethyl mercury) and had non vaccinated kids-- the rates of autism did not increase either way. i heard testimony from a physician who was skeptical herself about the link until the baby seized in front of her right as she was readying the injection.
this "theory" has been debunked several times. there is just not substantial enough data to make such a claim.

Very interesting read. I did a project testing halogen levels in the drinking water around my campus and it was a lot higher by the food court compared to smaller buildings. Makes you wonder...
