The Health Risks Associated with Fluoride Use

In his book, Fluoride Deception, Christopher Bryson outlines the beginnings of water fluoridation with an industrial toxin. He proposes that certain companies, faced with a tide of lawsuits related to death and injuries from toxic fluoride pollution caused by aluminum smelting, came up with the idea to convince the American public that fluoride was actually a good thing.

Fluoride has been added to our water supply for over 70 years, even though scientific studies have shown that American teens between the ages of 12 - 15 show visible signs of having been overexposed to it. Shockingly, recent international studies have shown that even small doses of fluoride can lower the IQ of children!

“According to the CDC, 41% of American adolescents aged 12 - 15 have been overexposed to fluoride because you have this telltale sign of dental fluorosis, which in its mildest form is little white specs. But when it gets more serious, it affects more of the surface of your teeth and it becomes colored: yellow, brown and orange mottling of the teeth.”

The initial scientific studies done to support the use of pharmaceutical-grade fluoride as a preventative against tooth decay were based on topical use of fluoride, not ingestion. More current research is raising even further doubts of the benefits of topical fluoride treatments. Most of mainland Europe is not fluoridated, and yet, according to the WHO (World Health Organization) the teeth of Europeans are “just as good as, if not better than, Americans” where we fluoridate over 60% of our water supply.

We do know, however, that the ingestion of fluoride can lead to other negative health issues including:

Gastrointestinal problems
Kidney issues
Disrupted immune system functions
Chronic fatigue
    Arthritic symptoms
        Lowered thyroid function
        Hyperactivity and/or lethargy

Both the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the ADA (American Dental Association) have alerted its members to recommend to parents to not use fluoridated tap water when make infant formula. The average glass of fluoridated water contains 250 times more fluoride than breast milk!

Despite the overwhelming evidence demonstrating that fluoride is not an effective strategy against tooth decay and that it may, in fact, cause significant health problems in many individuals, the practice of adding fluoride to our water supplies continues unabated.

What can we do:

Don’t drink fluoridated water. Filter your tap water or purchase water which is not fluoridated. Choose a toothpaste which is unfluoridated. By doing this, you will limit your exposure, and ingestion, of excessive amounts of fluoride.

Health Tip:
Mind over Matter

There is an intimate and very dynamic relationship between your mind and your body.   What is happening in your life, your feelings and your thoughts is reflected out through your physical body.   Likewise, as we think, so we become.   We can specifically pay attention to what our body is feeling and to what our mind is trying to express.   Deb Shapiro, in her book, Your Body Speaks Your Mind, states “When something goes wrong it is usually a combination of both physical and psycho-emotional causes.”

By learning the language that the body and the mind speak to each other we can learn what is being repressed and what we may need to bring to the foreground and face sooner to avoid unnecessary illnesses and imbalances.    An important clue to keep in mind when researching physical imbalances is the specific function of the part of the body that is presenting the symptom.

Ask yourself:

What does this part of my body do?

What role does it play in the scheme of my body as a whole?

How does this purpose relate to what is happening in my life?

By keeping on top of the little things, by taking a “hint” when it is first displayed as a symptom of imbalance, we can keep ourselves (both body and mind) healthier and much happier.

^LeEternity

Ingredients
ajowan, allspice, clove, frankincense, orange sweet, thyme

Affinity for
cardiovascular health
metabolism of vitamins and minerals

Resonance
emotional, physical

Application
^LeEternity should be applied, diluted, on the chest along the sternum. It can also be diffused.

Aromatic Considerations
The aroma of ^LeEternity balances energy and improves both mood and mental outlook.

Physical Aspects
^LeEternity has powerful anti-oxidant properties. It enhances vitamin and mineral absorption for the overall improvement of health and vitality. ^LeEternity, because it helps the body absorb calcium, can help prevent such things as osteoporosis. The oils in this blend have been used traditionally for various problems related to the cardiovascular system.

^LeExhilaration

Ingredients
cedarwood, clary sage, ginger, helichrysum, jasmine, melissa blend, neroli, patchouli, rosewood, sandalwood, orange sweet

Affinity for
nervous system
emotional balance
stimulation of the amygdala

Resonance
spiritual, physical

Application
^LeExhilaration is beneficial applied on the wrists, temples, heart chakra area, and forehead.   It can also be added to the bath.   The aroma is very pleasant as a perfume or cologne.

Aromatic Considerations
The aroma of this essential oil blend can aid us in maintaining confidence and courage while it helps us improve our overall attitude.   It is almost like being given a fresh new outlook and start in life.

Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
^LeExhilaration is especially beneficial in those situations which appear hopeless and discouraging.   With the use of this blend we find our emotions strengthening and stabilizing until we are able to see new and different solutions to old problems.   It is as if there are now several paths available to us, but we previously could only see one way out of the woods.   Suddenly we are able to see our surroundings in a more comprehensive way.   ^LeExhilaration is also used to release emotional blocks and help us let go of negative feelings and perceptions.   Recent studies have shown that it is in the amygdala (located in the temporal lobes of the brain) where solutions to problems are developed.   When we look at a situation, wanting to know what we should do, the amygdala ‘lights up’ and begins to present our minds with possible solutions. Activity in the amygdala increases with the use of ^LeExhilaration   This increased brain activity gives us more ability to see various new solutions to old problems.

Physical Aspects
Several of the oils in this blend are oils that profoundly affect physical body systems.   Some are anti-inflammatories and others target specific organs or functions.   If your physical body has been strained or weakened by situations that are testing your courage and confidence, ^LeExhilaration can be of benefit to you.   It may have an impact on physical things that you did not realize were connected to the emotions you were feeling.

^LeLetting Go

Ingredients
blue tansy, hinoki, lavender, lemon, geranium, sandalwood, ylang ylang

Affinity for
emotions
digestive system
urinary tract

Resonance
physical, emotional

Application
^LeLetting Go should be applied directly over the liver, on the bottom of the feet, or behind the ears. This blend is very nice in a bath or diffused.

Aromatic Considerations
^LeLetting Go is a favorite blend of many people. By letting go of negative emotions, we can create feelings of tolerance and compassion towards the faults & foibles of the human race, including ourselves. Regular use of this essential oil blend can help us develop feelings of trust, safety, and security.

Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
^LeLetting Go is literally for what the name implies. It is for ‘letting go’ of negative emotions that we are holding onto in the physical tissues of our bodies. You can use ^LeLetting Go to aid in the release of anger, frustration, resentment, despair, grief, insecurity, or any other emotion that is not serving you well. This blend is appropriate when your forward progress in emotional or physical healing seems to be halted. This oil is beneficial when used for the rebellious spirit sometimes seen in teens and others of us from time to time.

Physical Aspects
^LeLetting Go of the emotional baggage that we don’t need can have an energizing effect on the colon, kidneys, liver and gall-bladder in particular.

Chamomile, Roman
(Chamaemelum nobile)

Ingredient In
^LeAssurance, ^LeBaby Me, ^LeEZ Traveler, ^LeRefreshMint, ^LeRevitalize, ^LeVision, ^LeWhispering Hope

Therapeutic Properties
calmative, analgesic, antibiotic, febrifuge, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulant

Affinity For
reproductive system	spleen meridian	yin energy
digestive system	bladder meridian	throat chakra
nervous system

Resonance Plant Family Part Utilized
physical, emotional Compositae flowers

Application
Chamomile Roman can be applied to the base of the neck, on the temples, and over the liver.   It can be added to shampoo or conditioner to cover gray in lighter hair colors.

Aromatic Considerations
The aroma of chamomile Roman, in my opinion, is the most relaxing scent in the entire essential oil world. Chamomile Roman is powerfully soothing.   The soothing action of this oil applies to both physical and emotional conditions alike. Diffused, this oil creates an atmosphere of peace and patience.

Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
Chamomile Roman smooths the flow of the chi energy throughout the body.   It is this regulation of vital energy that makes chamomile Roman so powerfully soothing to both physical and emotional conditions.   In fact, so powerfully does this oil unravel the negative emotions behind physical ailments, that it is sometimes hard to tell if it is working at an emotional or a physical level.   Chamomile Roman is of great benefit in the treatment of chronic headaches, insomnia, nervous indigestion and nausea, and irritable bowel syndrome—to name just a few.   The smoothing out of the vital energy prevents the build-up of energetic heat, which manifests in the body as inflammation.   This chamomile is particularly beneficial for alleviating neuritis, cystitis, rheumatoid arthritis and earache.   One of the outstanding uses of chamomile Roman essential oil is for babies with colic, babies who startle awake and then cry for a long time, and infants that are just plain fussy and want to be held and comforted most of the day and night.

Physical Aspects
This variety of chamomile, though containing less deep blue azulene, has anti-inflammatory properties.   It is of benefit when applied to aching muscles and joints.   Because it is so mild and soothing, chamomile Roman is wonderful in the tub or used in a compress.   This oil is very soothing for menstrual cramps, nausea, PMS, tension, and nerves.   Chamomile Roman cleanses the blood and reduces allergic reactions.   Allergy sufferers can find a great deal of relief by carrying an inhaler or just a few drops of this oil on a tissue or cotton ball.   Chamomile Roman is an antihistamine and soothing to inflamed tissues.

General Information
The plant from which chamomile Roman is distilled is very tender and delicate.   It must be harvested at precisely the right moment in its growth cycle.   To accomplish this, growers concerned with quality do a test distillation every few days as the plant matures.   They have the distillation analyzed using gas chromatography.   This insures the therapeutic quality of the essential oil.

Cautions
Chamomile Roman is, occasionally, found on lists that claim it should to be used with caution during pregnancy.   I think, perhaps, those lists are being a little too cautious.   This is a very mild essential oil.

Cypress
(Cupressus sempervirens)

Ingredient In
^LeAspire, ^LeBalance, ^LeCandila, ^LeCypernium, ^LeDandy, ^LeDelicate, ^LeEndo Relief,
^LeIQ, ^LeRefresh-Mint, ^LeTomorrow, ^LeVisibility, ^LeVitality,^LeWarm Down

Therapeutic Properties
mucolytic, hepatic, astringent, antispasmodic, antisudorific, diuretic, restorative, vasoconstrictor, respiratory tonic, calmative, astringent

Affinity For
circulation	muscles, joints	throat chakra
pancreas	lymphatic drainage	solar plexus chakra
respiratory system	liver	central vessel meridian
reproductive system	yin energy	central vessel meridian
		spleen meridian

Application
Cypress can be diluted and applied anywhere on the body. It is also excellent applied to the bottoms of the feet.

Aromatic Considerations
Cypress is a wonderful healer for the spirit.   It brings the feeling that each new day is a fresh start on our road to glowing life and health.   Change is a part of life. Times of transition can be positive if we allow them to be.   If we struggle against the changes, trying to hang on to what was, our life can feel like an unending struggle.   Interestingly, cypress—while not a sedative—is useful for insomnia.   Perhaps the optimism it brings quiets the usual worry that is keeping one awake.

Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
Cypress is considered in many cultures to be symbolic of life after death.   It may be useful when facing death or other separations.   The aroma of cypress opens us to direction from heaven.    Cypress can help soften unbending and inflexible attitudes.   Cypress seems to bring balance to our attitudes about money.   It has the effect of loosening purse strings that are being held too tightly.   Cypress can help us learn to enjoy the bounty that we have.   Perhaps those who need to can even learn to spend a little on something that is not an absolute necessity.

Physical Aspects
Cypress strengthens capillary walls, reducing varicose veins and hemorrhoids.   Cypress is a respiratory, lymphatic, liver, pancreas, and prostate decongestant. This makes cypress useful for a wide variety of ailments. Cypress is a mild, but effective, diuretic.   It should be tried for water retention, cellulite, menstrual bloating, and menopausal problems.   Cypress is one of the best oils for muscle cramps and healing wounds. In fact, cypress is one of the best single oils to reach for in many circumstances.   I love and use mostly blends, but cypress is so complex and far reaching that it is almost like a blend all by itself.

Cautions
Cypress is mildly estrogenic and should be avoided by most pregnant women.
It is, however, used for toxemia when at least part of the cause is an estrogen imbalance.

Tangerine
(Citrus reticulata)

Ingredient In
^LeEverlasting, ^LeHeartSong, ^LeHoliday Spirit, ^LeInsight,^LeSunburst, ^LeTranquility

Therapeutic Properties
anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, laxative, sedative, calmative, nervine, cytophylactic

Affinity For
respiratory system	nervous system	spleen meridian
digestive system

Resonance	Plant Family	Part Utilized
physical, emotional	Rutaceae	fruit

Aromatic Considerations
Like all citrus oils, tangerine promotes feelings of happiness and peace.
It encourages us to reach out to others with kindness and compassion.

Application
Tangerine should be diluted before applying to the skin.

Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
Tangerine essential oil is a very pleasant sedative.   It soothes all types of hyperactivity, whether in the body or the mind.   Tangerine can have a substantial effect on anger, depression, and impulsive behaviors.

Physical Aspects
Tangerine has been proven effective against Staphylococcus aureus.   This is the species of bacteria which is responsible when wounds become septic.   A septic wound quickly spreads to other parts of the body, even if there is no wound there.   Tangerine oil contains components which kill the bacteria and stop it from spreading.   Tangerine’s antispasmodic actions are effective all over the body.   This essential oil can be used for spasms in the respiratory and digestive systems, as well as in muscle groups.   Tangerine essential oil is an effective blood purifier and it increases the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells.   Tangerine is helpful in removing excess water from body tissues and is a mild lymphatic decongestant.

General Information
Tangerine essential oil and mandarin essential oil are distilled, in different countries, from plants that are identified by the same latin name, citrus reticulata.   That is very strange, since the plants, themselves, are quite different, as are the fruits.   The fruit, the juice, and the essential oil of tangerine are much more orange in color than those of mandarin. They are harvested at different times of year, and this has a subtle effect on aroma and therapeutic properties.

Cautions
Tangerine essential oil is photo-toxic.   Avoid direct sunlight on skin to which this oil has been applied in the last 12 hours.
