The article explains how methanol destroys the brain a little bit at a time. Immediate effects can be severe (epileptic seizures, blindness, or chest palpitations) to less noticeable (blurred vision, bright flashes, tunnel vision, ringing or buzzing in ears, migraine headaches, dizziness, loss of equilibrium, or lip and mouth reactions). It talks about an Air Force pilot that was able to traced the patterns of tremors and seizures he suffered for two years to his consumption of NutraSweet in beverages. His medical issues ceased when he stopped drinking NutraSweet.

Sodium fluoride is more toxic than what is in our water but, it was/is used for a century as a pesticide and rat poison until it was banned by the EPA in September 2005. It is the reason all fluoride toothpaste tubes carry warnings: Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing [a pea-sized amount] is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or call a Poison Control Center right away. Sodium fluoride is somewhat more toxic than stannous fluoride, which resulted in the death of 3-year old William Kennerly in Brooklyn, NY as a result of swallowing and not spitting out a routine fluoride treatment If sodium fluoride is not added to municipal water supplies, it has to be disposed of by taking it to a Class 1 Hazardous Waste landfill which would charge approximately $7000 for a truckload. It is used to fluoridate approximately 10% of municipal water supplies. .

One of the major causes of the overweight epidemic in our society can be linked to the simple fact that Americans are eating and drinking toxins through our diets everyday. Our bodies cannot handle the volume of toxins we consume on a daily basis.

If you’ve been grinding away with your toothbrush every night since you were six, you probably feel like you’ve got the whole “dental health” issue licked. But the fact is, it takes more than just daily brushing to keep your mouth healthy. And now, we understand better than ever that oral health is linked to the health in the rest of your body.

One secret ingredient that many lazy brushers have been benefiting from for years is the flouride many municipalities put into the public water supply. Flouride is a mineral like calcium and after 50 years of testing has been proven as a safe addition to drinking water. Cities who have flouridated water have seen a marked decrease in the number of cavities for people, especially children, living in those areas. Make sure you’re getting enough flouride by swishing with a flouride rinse in the evenings if you don’t drink water, or only drink bottled water.

Another great way to improve your oral health is by flossing. The little string that runs up and down your teeth and under your gum line is doing more than just removing popcorn kernels. It’s scraping away the bacteria that cause plaque. Once the plaque hardens, it can be difficult to brush away. You don’t want plaque and bacteria, so make sure you’re flossing every day. Once a day is enough – more often isn’t helpful… unless of course you’re going after that stray piece of popcorn.

If you thought you had brushing down – that was the easy one, right? – you may be surprised to learn that if you’re brushing with the $3 toothbrush from the grocery store, you’re grossly under serving your teeth. Technology has changed a lot since you were a kid. You don’t have to make due with the free toothbrush from your dentist anymore. In fact, electric toothbrushes get your teeth a lot cleaner. The sonic toothbrushes do an even better job. According to a recent interview with a dentist that I read in Reader’s Digest, the Dentist said he recommended everyone get a sonic care toothbrush.

When I spoke to my dentist about it, they really recommended Sonic Care toothbrushes. I guess in addition to the extra fast brush-action of the bristles, the sonic care toothbrush also emits sound waves that help break up plaque on your teeth. I read about it in consumer reports and talked to a few people and started using the sonic care.

I bought a Sonicare toothbrush and decided to try it out. I enjoyed brushing with it – there was a 30-second timer to keep me on pace brushing all areas of my mouth. It got my teeth whiter, too. Even my dentist noticed at my next checkup.

Now I stay healthy by flossing daily, drinking flouridated water, visiting my dentist every six months and brushing with a sonic care toothbrush.

I hope you make a decision to keep your mouth in excellent condition. Talk to your dentist about how you can develop the optimal oral care routine for you!

DR. Monteith goes over the history of fluoride, its use, its dangers and its promotion over time. Why something that is rejected by so many nations is promoted here in the USA. Learn about the Hidden Agenda behind the use of Fluoride, who’s behind it and the real purpose behind its use. Shocking video.

Dr Hardy Limeback, former President of the Canadian Association of Dental Research and current Head of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto, is now calling for the end of water fluoridation. Limeback, a former proponent of fluoridation changed his mind in the wake of new studies showing little benefit to teeth from ingesting fluoride, and a growing body of research indicating links between fluoride and adverse effects including hip fracture, cancer and arthritis.
