Re: How FLUORIDATED are you?

Halogen Displacement

The mechanism behind “halogen displacement” was probably best described by J. C. Jarvis, M.D. (Folk Medicine, Henry Holt & Co., 1958, HB, p. 136), who wrote: “The clinical activity of any one of these four halogens is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one of the four can displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot displace an element with a lower atomic weight. For example, flourine can displace chlorine, bromine, and Iodine because fluorine has a lower atomic weight than the other three. Similarly, chlorine can displace bromine and Iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight.” Likewise, bromine can displace Iodine from the body because iodine has a higher atomic weight. A reverse order is not possible.

If the halogen displacement theory you cite is correct then it explains well how fluorine - with its lower atomic weight and higher clinical activity - displaces other halogens such as iodine. But, to be consistent with this theory, how can you then claim that iodine can be used to detoxify accumulated fluoride? If the reverse order is indeed impossible, how can iodine, with its higher atomic weight and lower clinical activity, ever be used to
displace fluoride? Tweet
