Study Indicates Antidepressants Double Risk Of Bone Fracture
As I am not allowed more than 1500 characters in the body of comments I would like to use the opportunity of this forum to further elaborate.
Deej had the following comment:
I knew about fluoride having a very high bonding affinity for hydroxy-apatite – which is about the exact same thing that makes up the crystal structures within bone.
I also knew already how most anti-depressants were having fluorine as part of their molecular structure.
Also, half of the statins to lower cholesterol, by the way, are having the same disease, in that the fluorine atom becomes an integral part of the molecule that is the basis within these medicines. In relation to the statins, it was hard for me to belief that the "gainers" had put the cut-off-line (I first wrote lie :D ) THAT low that 25% of the population I am part of, is urged by doctors to take statins because their cholesterol is decided to be too high. Many of them are taking it.
So the jump was easily made with bones becoming brittle.
And then, on a second thought, I realized that the way I started to see the phenomenon of fluoridated and/or chlorinated hydrocarbons came from an entirely different angle. This is what particularly aroused me in this article.
And thinking further along this line I came to realize that the amount of ionic (or inorganically ‘bound’) fluoride being taken is already at huge levels today. At least in Europe (but I am not entirely sure) you can read the mg/l of it being present in lots of ‘mineral waters’. It is a lot.
I can not imagine that people who are on prozac (fluoxetine) for instance would get that high amount of fluoride within their system, as they would get already in an inorganic kind of form.
So what is my angle to it?
Neither chlorinated nor fluoridated hydrocarbons are being used in nature. So what is it doing in our medications? (over there in the US you call these ‘medications’ ‘drugs’, and what we call "drugs" , you call "dope" :) )
Why are they there ??? Chlorine? Fluorine?
I am pretty convinced by now that those chlorine and fluorine atoms became part and parcel of the thing that ‘does’ it, to change the local electro negativity for instance. This "does it" because it creates local binding possibilities within these molecules so that they can all of a sudden bind extremely well with lots of other organic molecules, and more particularly proteins.
Also the reverse happens. You can also create local areas within these molecules that have a very high localized hydrophobicity (it doesn’t like water). And then, all of a sudden you end up with molecules that can drive that hydrophobic branch deep within the hydrophobic pockets of certain proteins, with the result of very firm binding.
And POOF, you have a ‘provable effect’, which can always be turned into some ‘therapeutic effect’. Dollars!!! Or Euros!!! And ahhh, we have been investing so much already.
And so, in their blindness, willful or not, they 'forget' that with such molecules you will evidently have increased binding, but that such happens in a very indiscriminate way. Ergo, there will be an entire list of secondary effects because it binds to so many more proteins for instance.
And that is why after giving it a second thought, I came to realize that the effect of "bones becoming brittle" could very well be indirectly, because those ‘medications’/drugs interfere with another process by binding to known (or unknown) proteins.
It is also possible of course that those medications are metabolized in a way that does give them high affinity for bone.
Evidently, as you say, Deej
studies are needed.
In the mean time, I have warned myself about those things.

Deej had the following comment:
It is also the first thing that popped up in my mind Deej.Deej said:What popped out at me was that more than one of the listed antidepressants had at least one flouride atom attached to the structure. Doing a little research, it looks like all but one of the listed drugs has flouride in it - only the structure of Paxil doesn't appear to contain flouride.
If I recall correctly, it's well-documented that flouride has a very strong affinity for bone tissue and has the effect of making bone (and tooth) structure more brittle and prone to breaking.
I'd like to see a comparative study of the rates of bone fracture in meds with flouride and those without.
