Fluoride and teeth
I urge an entire read of this source: http://www.teslatech.info/ttstore/report/articles/v1n4art/teeth.htm
Key takeaways: Fluoride destroys adenosine diphosphatase (an enzyme) required for teeth remineralization, as well as other enzymes. Fluoride doubles tooth decay in one's lifetime. But it does much more than that, read on...
I'm cherry pickin' the fluoride part:
Fluoride's Destructiveness
Fluoride causes decay by destroying adenosine diphosphatase and possibly other enzymes which assist in forming the flexible enamel.
I have a new concept of fluorosis, a blotching of the enamel, which used to be attributed solely to fluoride. Fluorosis and mottling (crumbling teeth) are caused when some of the 17 pounds of other elements in the body enter the enamel when calcium and phosphate are absent. This gives rise to different colors in the enamel as well as brittle teeth due to the newly formed alien crystal. A little shock of chewing, and the brittle teeth crack off due to the newly formed, but weak alien crystal. My book gives colors for many of these elements which can enter the tooth enamel.
Gum pockets are caused through fluoride in the tooth pastes, gels and drinking water since it destroys the specialized hydrogen-bonded structure in the protoplasm, proteins and enzymes, and what one can do about them so as to avoid gingivitis or tooth infection. I advocate discontinuance of utilization of all fluoride products and utilization of vitamin C, calcium and protein as antidotes to offset this problem.
I simply advocate bar soap, a pure detergent, without all the dozen contaminants in tooth paste, to give a clean surface on the teeth for re-enamelization. You cannot form good crystalline enamel when it is contaminated. The plaque which forms at the bottom of the teeth is bogus enamel.
Several brain ailments such as Alzheimers, hallucinations, epileptic seizures, Parkinsonianism, and MS are linked to dentistry with its fluoridation, mercury and other schemes.
Fluoride has shown its ugly head in the tooth enamel problem. Four huge studies involving 480,000 children carried out in the last 3 decades have proven with great assurance that fluoride doubles decay during one’s lifetime. All of the earlier studies of the 40s and 50s claiming decay reduction with fluoride were too small and were not done by qualified scientists. The studies were terribly flawed because of ignoring all other factors in the diet of the participants and the fluoride content of the water, improperly and incompletely setting a base point for beginning the decay studies, not analyzing to be certain of the fluoride content of competing towns, and rushing to conclusions before studies could be properly evaluated.
This is verified in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry for November of 1993 where it is claimed we still have a tooth decay epidemic in the US after 50 years of fluoridation in which 60% of the population is drinking artificially fluoridated water. Studies have shown that 42% of the average 65 year olds have no natural teeth at all, 40 year olds have an average of 30 decays, and 17 year olds average 11 decays. The American Indian population which has been fluoridated the most and given free dental care has 4 times this decay. The black population and those at poverty level have twice this amount.
Fluoride changes the decay rate from .35 tooth per year to 0.70 tooth per year according to the large multi-thousand Japanese, Indian and Tucson studies carried out by chemists, and the US studies carried out by the National Institute of Dental Health since 1972.
