Epsom Salt Baths... to precipitate the fluoride.

I have not looked into it beyond this... however, what about magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) and magnesium chloride (nigari flakes)?
people are probably already doing it without even knowing it :-)
tricalcium phosphate is used too... among other things.
in the diet, soluble tricalcium phosphate in raw milk (dairy) works... boiled or pasteurized milk though causes the calcium and phosphates to become insoluble.
that is just one of many reasons that "pasteurization" has done us in...
