Fluoride and Your Health

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride

Fluoride is a natural mineral found throughout the earth’s crust and widely distributed in nature. It has been prescribed to depress thyroid hormone levels in patients with hyperthyroidism since the 1950’s. Fluoride is also a neurotoxin more toxic than lead and almost as toxic as arsenic.

There have been several studies recently which showed conclusively that fluoride is not good for the human body. Fluorosis is the permanent dis-coloration of the enamel of the teeth due to excess fluoride exposure in small children ages 1 – 8 years old. Fluoride has been shown to lower IQ in children.

We are not doctors so please look into this on your own initiative. Here is a good video on YouTube by Dr. Chris Napoli as an introduction to the issues:

Fluoride Lowers Thyroid Function, I.Q. and Bone Strength…But Not Cavities!

We have started shipping Sample tubes of a fluoride-free herbal toothpaste (available by special request) which is popular in Thailand with orders of full bottles. We just need to warn you ahead of time that the herbs are all-natural, and do impart a natural color to the toothpaste. The regular flavor does look a lot like mud, and the “Fresh & Cool” variety looks a lot lighter in color.

The brand name is “Twin Lotus” and you can see reviews on Amazon, and nearly all are very positive. Hope you look into this for your health, and we hope you enjoy the herbal toothpaste.
