One of the biggest paranoia-inducing issues concerning drinking water has for a long time been fluoride content. The medical profession is divided on the appropriateness of fluoridated water. Nevertheless, there are numerous studies showing that an accumulation of fluoride is dangerous to the body, and can lead to fluoride poisoning.
The effect is exacerbated because water is not the only source of unnatural fluoride we are likely to consume – the soluble salt compound is also found in pharmaceutical medication, toothpaste, and even produce. A study shows that because sodium aluminum fluoride (commonly known as Cryolite) is a popular pesticide, fruit and vegetables may contain as much as 180 times more fluoride than drinking water!
Fluoride accumulates in your system and is deposited particularly in your bones, thyroid gland and pineal gland. There are, however, means of purging the chemical from your body.
Safe Steps for Detoxing
The first step is obviously to minimise the intake of fluoride as far as possible. To do so, be discriminating in the medications you use, consume non-processed, organic foods as far as possible, and drink non-fluoridated water. Some recommend distilling water, although be careful of this measure as the process removes minerals, in which case you would need to take a mineral supplement like Fulvic Acid or unsulfured blackstrap molasses. Or make use of a good water delivery service.
Fluoride accumulates over many years, and can take years to be expelled naturally. There are, however, some measures you can take to facilitate the process. A good way to go would be to first consult a healthcare practitioner on safe quantities of supplementation to intake.
Magnesium can inhibit the further absorption of fluoride in your cells, allowing your body to concentrate on removing the already existing fluoride. Taken together with calcium, fluoride can be attracted away from bones and teeth, where it can be more difficult to remove.
Iodine supplementation helps to expel sodium fluoride from the body through urine as calcium fluoride, which is a less harmful form of fluoride. Calcium is leeched during this process, so additional calcium (and magnesium as an adjunct) supplementation needs to be taken. Further, a careful balance of iodine intake has to be maintained, as both too much and too little iodine is harmful.
Liver cleanses are beneficial for detoxing in general. Everyone responds to liver detoxes differently, so paying attention to how your body reacts, and taking the process slowly, is the safest way to go.
Boron, found in borax and easily available from the household cleaning aisle at your local supermarket, is surprisingly effective for fluoride detoxification. If taken in with pure water and sipped in small quantities throughout the day, boron is perfectly safe. Less than a quarter of a teaspoon to one litre of water should be sufficient.
Tamarind, originally from Africa, can be used as a tea or tincture to flush fluoride out in the form of urine.
And finally, good nutrition, exercise and general healthy living is essential for promoting the excretion of fluoride. The process does take time, but can be done and the results are likely worth the effort.
