There are a few whole-house fluoride filters out there that will remove most fluoride from your water. I haven’t personally tested or tried them so I can’t make a good recommendation on brand, but if you search for whole-house fluoride filter on Google should find a few. Your other option is a reverse osmosis filter, which will remove much of the fluoride but only from the faucet you install it on.

Every city has different fluoridation policies, so if you contact your city water company you should be able to find out if it’s fluoridated.

Thanks for sharing your toothpaste brand with us and good luck in your filter search. Let us know if you find a good one!

Dr. Marvin –

What exactly do you mean by a “fluoride filter”? Do you have any recommendations for certain kinds?

We live in the SoCal area and I’m not sure if our water is fluoridated or not. However, the majority of our drinking water, we DO run through a Brita water filter (jug) that we keep in our refrigerator. I also have recently started using Auromere toothpaste (mint-free, fluoride-free, etc) and it has helped so much! I started using it on a recommendation from a friend who was having some majoring health issues themselves. It turns out one of their symptoms was the same as mine, tooth sensitivity. I had been using a toothpaste especially for sensitivity and it stopped helping, so I switched to Auromere and WOW, amazing difference. I found it pretty cheaply via Amazon online as well .

I would recommend you see an alternative practitioner or a medical doctor to see what’s going on. Since you are Encinitas, you have a lot of great options. You may want to check out The Center for Advanced Medicine and see if they can help you.

I too live in Encinitas and recently I’ve been having symptoms of dry mouth, soapy taste in my mouth and arthritic pain in my hands. Never had I experience this prior. I have changed my toothpaste and with the recent information about flouride in our local water system, I wonder if I have flouride poisioning? How would I detox from this if it is poisioning or what type of treatment or precautions should I take? I have no Insurance to cover treatment!

Dr. Marvin,

I’m in Encinitas too and remember reading various water district documents about potentially fluoridating our water. Do you know where that currently stands?

If your local water is fluoridated, you could buy a reverse osmosis water filter, a fluoride filter, or bottled water if you want to avoid it. Not much else you can do once your community decides to fluoridate the water.

Is there any way to avoid fluoride exposure? Especially in the drinking water? We live in the desert and drink a lot of water, and tap water is the most economical. But I’m very concerned about the levels of fluoride, especially in our young children and when I’m pregnant.

Not really. Your best bet is to brush your teeth thoroughly using the proper tools, floss regularly, and rinse your mouth (with water) after eating to rinse away the acid left after eating. While the high doses of topical fluoride could help to a very small extent, you’re most likely not getting enough benefits to outweigh the risks associated with it.

The best information I’ve come across on fluoride and fluoridated water is at the MaeBrussell(dot)com website. Just go to the bottom of the homepage. Dr. John Lee, Dr. John Yiamouyannis, Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, and Joanie Greggains explain the history, origin, and effects it has on the brain and body. The audio is 75 minutes long. Hopefully people will burn cds of the audio and pass them around.

I treat my teeth topically once a month with sodium fluoride paste that I apply via trays that my dentist provided me. I do my best not to swallow any of it, but I can tell it’s going into my system because I always have a subtle drug/toxic reaction.

Is there an alternative to sodium fluoride that I can use in similar fashion to protect my teeth from decay? Or is there a source of sodium fluoride that I can purchase that is of higher purity (pharmaceutical quality) and that does not contain the toxins and heavy metals that you write about?

Thank you for your article!

That’s a good question. Considering the amount of fluoride we intake on a daily basis without even taking into account our water supply, I would assume the answer is no, but I encourage you to seek an alternative provider and ask. With anything, cutting it completely out of your diet could cause problems, so it’s a good thing to be aware of.

Odd question. Would stopping as much floride based intake cause a set of withdrawel syptoms? Do to health reason, especially my weight and due the fact my thyroid is about dead, I have switched to distilled water for all coooking and drink. Will the reduction of the toxins cause problems?

Thank you for posting this article. No wonder almost everybody I know is prescribed to Prozac & Adderall medication. Almost everybody that I talk to seems mediocre and one sided in daily conversations (always talking about the same non-important things i.e. football, shopping, television, and celebrity stars). Any these people seem so fascinated by such useless triviality. People are becoming stupid..and they are not consciously aware of it. If fluoride is the major reason why it disrupts & fucks up the thyroid gland, I am aghast. I have been drinking fluoride ever since I was born…….until the day I bought a fluoride water filter for my drinking water supply.

I would also like to add that during the WWII era of Hitler-Germany, fluoride was added into the prisoner’s drinking water in order to keep the workers more productive & less likely to go on the verge of suicide or escaping. Plus you get the additive bonus of bone-fluorosis and crapped out thyroid gland. This is blasphemy to humanity! This was a substance used to control people then and today..

Fluoride should be removed from water supply

By: Dr. Marvin

The level of fluoride that’s already in our food and beverages is incredible. People living in fluoridated areas are typically receiving at least 300% of the recommended daily limit of fluoride in their diet… and that doesn’t include any unfiltered tap water they consume or dental pastes and gels.

Thank you for sharing this information. People need to know that about 70% of US public water supplies are fluoridated and so are all the foods and beverages made with that water.

Science never supported fluoridation. It has been promoted with slick PR and appeal to authority. Politics keeps the fluoride flowing. In order to stop it, people need to get active and educate their neighbors about fluoride’s health hazards. Then petition, lobby, call, write, email and visit local legislators and tell them you want the fluoride valves shut off.

Legislators will be better able to stand up to special interest groups if their constituents show up in numbers as opposed to fluoridation.
