I've been saying this for a while. BUT, the primary issue with fluoride is that it shuts down the bodily process that creates testosterone. You might wonder at all the effeminate young men, men wearing dresses, flamboyant pride parades. Well, consider the massive increase in fluoride related products associated with "Teeth Whiteners" that exploded over the last half decade. Gosh, could there be a correlation.
Incidentally, the vast majority of sodium fluoride comes from China....just saying. Posted by: Orson at May 22, 2024 05:36 PM (dIske) 14

autism is correlated with a number of issues, from fluoridation to the child vaccine schedule. The real science is figuring out which of these things is not like the others, and what might be in common to most.
It seems to be linked to inflammation issues at a very young age, and crappy diets. the more I learn about Fluoride, the more I want it out of the municipal water. It doesn't do much good administered that way, and it actually has some risks to the general public. Posted by: Kindltot at May 22, 2024 05:50 PM (D7oie) 106

When I started going to the dentist again after turning 29, my dentist told me I had so few cavities, I must have grown up in an area that fluoridated the water.
I grew up in the middle of nowhere. We got our water from a well. It must have been high-fluoride groundwater. At which point I knew fluoridation was a religion regardless of benefits or drawbacks. (This was in San Diego, which at the time did not fluoridate. Since then, California law has overridden local law, so I think they do fluoridate now.)

Posted by: whig at May 22, 2024 05:47 PM (PkS4e) the problem is the corruption, and not the form of government. All governments are to some degree a form of cartelism, and so centralized and corrupt.

Hydroxyapatite toothpast is supposed to help remineralize your teeth, like fluoride, but in a different manner. You can also try xylitol based toothpaste or mints, it helps kill those bacteria that cause tooth decay. (it is toxic to dogs though)
Posted by: Kindltot at May 22, 2024 06:03 PM (D7oie) ______________ Fluoride salts convert the superficial layer of teeth from hydroxyapatite (a calcium phosphate compound containing a hydroxyl group) to fluoroapatite (in which a fluoride ion replaces the hydroxyl group), which is considerably harder and less prone to decay.

I mentioned in an earlier thread that my second oldest son was developing normally until he got the MMR vaccine. A couple of days after getting his shots when he was about 18 months old he passed out with a high fever and almost died.
Afterwards it was basically ground zero in development. He started stimmy behavior (hitting himself), ecolalia and other autistic behaviors. Years later we did a genetic test and found he had a gene problem that leads to Dravit’s syndrome, the only known genetic link to autism. I have wondered if the vaccine and genetic code worked together to lead to autism in some people. Posted by: MAGA_Ken at May 22, 2024 06:24 PM (sEYaD) 275

Fluoride salts convert the superficial layer of teeth from hydroxyapatite (a calcium phosphate compound containing a hydroxyl group) to fluoroapatite (in which a fluoride ion replaces the hydroxyl group), which is considerably harder and less prone to decay.

Honestly, I’ve pondered if the rise in autism (and food allergies) might be because the people who have them would have previously died of childhood illnesses, and there is some sort of shared gene predisposing somebody to both one and the other. (Alternatively, perhaps the illnesses themselves could lead to onset, if the infant survives - which they now do much more often.) That could explain why, for example, vaccines meant to immunize children from illnesses that could kill them before the age of 5, could be followed by the onset of autism. I imagine that the nasty ear infection I got when I was 18 months old or whatever, would have killed me a century ago, and then I wouldn’t have to worry about either my peanut allergy or my Asperger’s because I’d be kaput.

A similar thing is the Burgess Shale fossils. These basically sat in a drawer from 1915-20 because the guy doing the dig became an administrator and never really looked at them. In like 1970 someone opened up the drawer and actually looked at them and made all sorts of exciting discoveries that I am unconvinced would not have been seen at the time of discovery. Steven Gould thought different, but even the dudes he was praising for being forward thinking thought his analysis of the situation was wrong. Posted by: Oldcat at May 22, 2024 06:45 PM (eoQWY) 343
I have been puzzled by statements I've heard that say fluoride sanitizes drinking water, but I thought it was chlorine that did that.
Posted by: Emmie at May 22, 2024 06:41 PM (Sf2cq) _______________ It is. It's chlorine GAS that is bubbled into drinking water for sanitization purposes, whereas it's fluoride ION that's is sometimes added for dental purposes. I've read that in some parts of Europe they bubble ozone into drinking water for sanitization purposes, but ozone is so reactive that it is removed rapidly, leaving the water susceptible to bacteria.

Honestly, I’ve pondered if the rise in autism (and food allergies) might be because the people who have them would have previously died of childhood illnesses, and there is some sort of shared gene predisposing somebody to both one and the other.
Posted by: The Dogs with Bees in Their Mouths, So When They Bark, They Shoot Bees at You at May 22, 2024 06:41 PM (nW0Z/) If this were the dominant cause you would expect the autism spike to happen at the same time or closely following the drop in infant mortality when they were several hundred years apart in the developed world.

the rise in autism
_____________ Begs the question: IS there a rise in autism, or just a rise in the diagnosis of autism? Again, the power of suggestion. See also, inter alia, "fibromyalgia" and the "transgender epidemic." Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at May 22, 2024 06:51 PM (YqDXo) 349

Also, someone mentioned Upton Sinclair. Fun fact: He was not setting out to reform the food industry. His goal was actually to show how utterly corrupt and horrible capitalism was, and that the workers needed to organize and overthrow the system. In fact, he was quite peeves that The Jungle just led to the FDA.
One reason the Pure Food and Drug Act really took off was that the companies who could afford the regulations took advantage of it drive their competition out of business. H.J. Heinz was one of the beneficiaries, IIRC. Posted by: The Dogs with Bees in Their Mouths, So When They Bark, They Shoot Bees at You at May 22, 2024 06:55 PM (nW0Z/) 352
My initial theory about the rise in autism was that the boom in tech, internet development, etc., created a breeding ground for the aforementioned geeks, nerds, dorks in Silicon Valley and other similar techie areas. They were all able to date and marry their own kind, so the genes were being passed down double time.

Posted by: Oldcat at May 22, 2024 06:51 PM (eoQWY) It depends who this person was thinking of. The current movement has many parents. Frantz Fanon, Derrick Bell and Kimberle Crenshaw were black. Herbert Marcuse and Paulo Freire were not. Posted by: The Dogs with Bees in Their Mouths, So When They Bark, They Shoot Bees at You at May 22, 2024 06:57 PM (nW0Z/) 354
After the covid madness, I decided to finally go to listen to Dr Andrew Wakefield for myself. He is the Doctor Who first noticed a correlation between Autism and the MMR vaccine given to children at age 18 months. A friend of mine who works with mentally retarded children says that after they started giving the kids that shot she couldn't tell me how many mothers over the last 30 years or so have come to her and said that their children developed autism within 48 hours after having that injection.
So I finally listened to his interviews on Rumble and the man is the farthest thing from a quack. Brilliant and thoughtful and soft spoken and very meticulous about what he claims and does not claim --- but of course he's been smeared is a conspiracy theorist. The British Health establishment stripped him of his medical license even though his original article had 12 co-authors who were all distinguished doctors and scientists and it was peer-reviewed five times before it was published in the Lancet. He is viewing the massive red pilling about vaccines that has been going on with a certain wry and bitter satisfaction. Posted by: Beverly at May 22, 2024 07:56 PM (Epeb0) 355

One reason the mental hospitals/institutions were shut down was because they were full of folks who just had autism but had been diagnosed with 'psychosis'. In France they still treat autism as 'psychosis' and it's cruel. Look at pics of 1800s 'Bedlam' in London - a bunch of people with severe autism symptoms. The 'rise' is a matter of rationalising and simplifying diagnostic criteria.

The Bradford Hill criteria for causation are not satisfied for fluoride. This is just correlation. The hidden variable is childhood vaccinations. Childhood vaccination and brain damage does meet all the Bradford Hill criteria for brain damage. Timing and location. Dose dependency. Biological Plausibility.
Vaccine is a term created by Jenner, as the Latin name for cow is Vacca, so injecting filth from a diseased cow was called a vaccine by Jenner to prevent smallpox. In this century, we use filth from E. coli bacteria containing all kinds of DNA plasmids along with the programmed psuedourindine modified mRNA and call it a covid vaccine. Neither worked nor are working. The childhood vaccines contain "adjuvents, AlOH" that triggers the immune system against all antigens and sometimes against self proteins and cause autoimmune disease. Sometimes the child just develops lifelong hay fever if the jab is given during ragweed season. The aluminum adjuvants, salts, upset the delicate zeta potential of the blood. Red blood cells have a negative charge, so they repel each other and remain in suspension. The +3 charge of Aluminum ions destroy that suspention - microclots.

Keep in mind this was an epidemiological study, not "real" "science." Also, fluoride has been in drinking water far longer than recent uptick in autism numbers.
Not that it should have been in the water. Posted by: eddie at May 23, 2024 12:00 AM (4+Tgo) 361
Flouride fucks up the ability of iodina, another halide, to get into your thyroid hormones. Don't drink it, don't brush with it. And stay away from the chlorine too. They are trying to kill us or make us infirm or dumb.

Fluoride is important to developing teeth which begins in utero. Logically, it has been in use for so long that there should be no trend for anything it may cause. Another scare of bad science as with children's vaccines. (I am a dentist!!)
