Many years ago it was decided that fluoride would be put into our drinking water, a practice band by nearly every other country in the world. How this got started and why we have fluoride in their drinking water in an our toothpaste is a story into itself. Fluoride does not belong in the body.

It interferes with iodine uptake and destroys our metabolism. It calcifies the pineal gland, are most important gland and what is considered our spiritual eye or our third eye. Fluoride has no business being in the human body to begin with. High amounts of fluoride  mottles the teeth, discolouring them.  Fluoride interferes with brain functions.

For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain. Extremely high levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but little is known about the substance’s impact on children's neurodevelopment In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.
