Edgar Cayce on Fluoride
According to the U.S. CDC, fluoride undoubtedly improves dental health. The new reduced target for the amount of fluoride in water is 0.7 mg per liter.
But there's a court case going on right now about adding fluoride to water. The plaintiffs allege there's a variety of harmful effects that result from water fluoridation: bone fractures, dental fluorosis, reduced IQs in children, etc.
This is a mainstream report that acknowledges there's a case to be made that fluoride is not a harm-free intervention: https://www.science.org/content/article/does-fluoride-drinking-water-lower-iq-question-looms-large-court-battle
Edgar Cayce did say there's a little bit of truth to the idea that fluoride can be used to improve dental health, but whether fluoride would be helpful or harmful was all about the context of what other minerals are found in the water. Cayce said that when fluoride is combined with high levels of calcium in water it's fine. When fluoride is combined with iron, magnesium or sulfur it causes a variety of problems.
When water is naturally fluoridated the fluoride usually takes the form of Calcium Fluoride, CaF2. There are three chemicals that are used to artificially add fluoride to municipal water systems: Sodium Fluoride (NaF), Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and Sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6). Fluorosilicilic acid is the cheapest option, because it is a waste product of the extraction of phosphorous (fertilizer) from rock phosphate.
Halogens are highly-reactive molecules that combine to form salts and other substances. From lightest to heaviest, these are Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine. The chlorine from Sodium Chloride (salt) is used to make stomach acid, so it's important to get enough salt. A chlorine-free source of sodium is baking soda.
Other chlorides are used as disinfectants, bromides are used as fire retardants and in the food supply, etc. Fluoride-based insecticides started being deployed in 1959.
If you live in a fluoridated city, or in an area with naturally high levels of fluoride, it's hard to filter fluoride from water. (There are some filters that claim to be able to remove fluoride - I haven't looked at these in a while.) Chlorides can be effectively filtered from the water, with cheap carbon-based filters. If you don't have a filter, some of the chlorides used for disinfection will evaporate away if a glass of water is left uncovered for a few hours.
The easiest thing you can do to protect yourself from adverse effects of excess fluoride exposure is to make sure you're getting adequate iodine. My understanding is halogen-containing compounds compete with each other for space in the body. Adding more iodine-rich foods to your routine will aid in the elimination of harmful halogens from your body.
Eggs and milk are the two iodine-rich staples that are accessible to just about everyone.
Edgar Cayce's preferred iodine supplement was called Atomidine, but the manufacturer of this supplement disappeared sometime after 1970. (If any of you know what happened to this company, could you let me know? Thanks!) For a while my version of Cayce's iodine supplement was out of stock. Enough of you asked if it'd be available again that I decided it was worth restocking: https://radialappliance.teslabox.com/product/electric-iodine/
Adequate iodine intake is critically important for maintaining and improving human health, especially in our modern halogen-contaminated world.
