[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’ve talked at length about getting fluoride and plastics out of water, stopping chem trails, decreasing plastics and moving back to glass, etc etc[/quote]

I work in healthcare and have a friend who is a dentist. Getting fluoride out of water, unless the water is already naturally high in fluoride, is really based on poor thinking. Research showing fluoride impacts IQ tests is based on many magnitudes of higher fluroide dosage than we actually have in our drinking water. Meanwhile, you'll see dentist's make a killing, increased usage of antibiotics to treat infections (which only breeds more antibiotic resistant infections - we already have bacteria resistant to nearly everything in the US), and increased rare diseases like endocarditis (infection of heart valves that lead to embolic cardiovascular events) thanks to removing fluoride. [/quote]

Are you saying fluoride kills bacteria?  I thought it just strengthened teeth?  If fluoride can kill living things, we probably shouldn’t be dosing our kids with it nonstop[/quote]
 Are you intentionally trying to troll or actually this stupid?

I’m asking a serious question.  The PP is saying we’ll have lots of new infections if we don’t keep adding fluoride to the water supply.  Is that right?  And if fluoride DOES kill bacteria (and rats) instead of just hardening teeth, should we treat it more like a drug, where we control doses to balance the benefits and risks, instead of just putting it in the water?[/quote]

We do control dose, dose given is far lower than in research studies being used as "evidence" for removing it, and see what happened in Calgary when they removed it - they added it back. Yes because of increased rates of caries. Tooth decay leads to infection and yes they saw increased kids requiring antibiotics including IV antibiotics. [/quote]

+1. Fluoride strengthens teeth and makes them less prone to decay. Decayed teeth can easily become painful, infected teeth, and then painful, infected jaws, and can lead to sepsis.

People may not know this because we our insurance system pretends that teeth are separate from the body, but an infected tooth can kill you. I had one relative die and another come dangerously close to it because of an improperly treated tooth infection. The one that didn’t die had his heart nearly destroyed and has been suffering the consequences ever since. You don’t mess around when it comes to kids teeth. [/quote]
