Fluoridated drugs syndrome goes deeper.

What about fluoride in tea? I assume that it would be organic fluoride. I am tea addict, but I am not sure about the dangers of fluoride in tea.

Is there such a thing as organic fluoride? I cannot imagine such a thing.

You could google "organic fluoride".

And I can provide some help too :cool:

FluoriNe is the term that is used for the element F as in the table of Mendeleev. The gas F(sub)2 is composed of two atoms of fluorine kept together with a covalent bond. This fluoriNe gas is highly reactive and is used for instance to etch glass.
Contact with water results in HF, or hydrogen fluoriDe. Dissolved in water it dissolves in both ions, a proton H+ and the anion F-. Neutralization with NaOH and subsequent evaporation of water will result in the salt sodium fluoride or NaF. There are salts, such as NaF which are highly soluble in water (the ions separate again) or quasi insoluble wherein the ions remain bonded as in CaF.

HF is also highly reactive as it easily fluorinates organic compounds wherein the element fluorine becomes part of the organic molecule by means of a covalent bond. Chlorinated organic molecules are even more sensitive to become fluorinated as the chlorine atom is easily substituted with the fluorine atom. One ends up with organic fluoriNe compounds such as the prozac molecule, but also very simple molecules such as trifluoro acetic acid. In the literature though, I often find the term organic fluoride. I am sure that this was the question posed by Monkee.

And the answer is (ruffle) … I don’t know. :) I do know that tea leaves accumulate fluorine, but I do not know in what form it is stored.

It is a good question and one that relates to some insight that is still in the process of fermentation somewhere in the backburner of my skull. Maybe this evening.
 
I have scientific research paper on pdf format about the amount of fluoride in different kind of teas. I need to search it somewhere in my pile of DVD-Rs. I only remember that according to this research, Oolong tea contain the least amount of fluoride compared to other form of teas.
 
@ Donald: Are you drinking it in Argentinian style? I liked it, but I get hyper from that. Now I occasionally drink the teabag version of it. Not as good as the traditional way, but at least I don't get hyper.
 
There is a relatively new supplement called conenzyme Q10 that has helped me overcome the sideeffects of flouride toxicity I suffered from statins. At least I can walk again.
 
Statins have flouride, too? Jeez. I'm glad I didn't let the doctor talk me into taking them.

I have about a tablespoon in a mug. Probably more than a teabag and less than Argentine gaucho style.

I have one of those gaucho gourds with a silver straw but i opened the straw and it looked like low quality aluminum so I haven't used it (I've had it for a long time).

Co-enzyme Q10 or ubiquinone indeed can do wonders. See for instance how Deckard has used it to cure retreating gums, and prevent that ones teeth will fall out over time. (this forum)

But it does NOT protect against fluoride toxicity.

The thing is that about half of the statins that are pushed unto the market by MD's are indeed fluorinated molecules (wherein fluor atoms are an integral part of the drug through a covalent bond).

But ALL of them inhibit the bodies own enzymatic activity to produce its own cholesterol. Sad thing, "overlooked" by pharma, is that the bodies own production of coenzyme Q 10 lies down the same synthesis path (mevalonate pathway). People "who are on statins" can have Q10 levels that have decreased by as much as 40 %. !!

In a nutshell, statins inhibit synthesis of cholesterol (which MIGHT be a good thing for SOME) but also of Q 10, which is ALWAYS a bad thing for EVERYBODY, as such will result in degradation of collagen, cardio vascular diseases, sick muscles, seriously decreased energy and tonus.

And so they will say: "See, we knew already that the patient had increased risk for developing cardio vascular disease. Maybe we were too late to start a treatment with statins. "


I forgot another one in my previous post. Besides Q10, there is also another very important molecule which is synthesized down the mevalonate pathway. It is isopentenyl pyrophosphate which is indispensable in the production of selenocysteine, a rare but vitally important amino acid that is a building block of selenoproteins.


In: Selenoproteins, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and the consequences: revisiting of the mevalonate pathway.

Moosmann and Behl said:
The resultant inhibition of Sec-tRNA isopentenylation profoundly decreases selenoprotein expression. This effect might seamlessly explain the immunosuppressive, redox, endothelial, sympatholytic, and thyroidal effects of statins and fibrates as well as their common side effects and drug interactions.
A decrease of the two dozen or so of selenoproteins normally present in humans can ALSO explain the increased incidence of cancer among patients who take statins.

See for instance :
A Forgotten Debate: Is Selenocysteine the 21st Amino Acid?

which was also a scientifically interesting read by the way.
 
Thanks, Charles for the info. on statins. My gut feeling was to refuse to take them, but those doctors can be persuasive in my once-a-decade checkup!

Thanks for the info and the link for the article, I've been looking for something like this. The controversy of statins is far worser than I ever thought. I've seen that almost the entire population with certain "risk factors" for cardiovascular disease are doomed to receive statins. And the thing is, cardiovascular diseases are getting worser with time, regardless of the "precautions" taken.
 
If anyone knows even more about statins, and likely (undisclosed) side-effects of the drugs' or pills' components, I'd like to know. This statin frenzy is already out of control.

I just heard on CNN that "health authorities" are seriously considering recommending cholesterol screening at fifteen months of age (must the USA or UK). No link yet. If it isn't obvious what the pharma corporations are doing, I hope this info helps. Is there some recognized problem with toddlers and cholesterol? Well, if it's on the web, it's not prominent, as I found, but the TV news cites, of course, the latest research, that tells us that it is a problem. As the C's once said regarding "health" issues, "A: Identification is in the hands of the identifiers."

We figure there is more to proliferating statin drugs than just profit, now that they are the most prescribed medicine in the world, UK docs want to talk about putting them in the public water supply, and they want to get toddlers on them. But I can't help thinking that they are more than just another little tool in the PTB arsenal to attack our wakefulness.

C's only mention of cholesterol was in Session 980314:


Q: (V) ... I guess one question I have: there were blood tests done on me; were they correct? Were the results correct results?
A: Some.
Q: (V) Can you tell me what was incorrect?
A: Cholesterol.
Q: (V) That was the one thing they identified on the blood test as being, you know, not normal. So, is my cholesterol more abnormal or less abnormal than they identified?
A: Higher.
Q: (V) Okay, I understand that I need to control this through diet. Is cholesterol as imminent and frightening as they say for our bodies, high levels?
A: HDL and LDL, two different categorizations.
Q: (V) Oh, okay. They were saying that the good cholesterol was high right along with the poor cholesterol. Is that what you are talking about, higher?
A: Yes.


Notice they said "higher" rather than going along with the questioner's lead of "more abnormal or less abnormal". So, is that a suggestion that "higher" than the reported figure may not mean truly abnormal? There's also the suggestion that measurement in general may not be very reliable. And of course, whether or not the reported cholesterol figure was correct or not, truly normal or not, the questioner's doctor pointed it out as "abnormal." And we know where that leads.

Children cholesterol test call

Children should receive a cholesterol test alongside their routine vaccinations at the age of 15 months, experts say.

The tests would identify those with an inherited cholesterol disorder which increases the risk of heart disease.

Parents of affected children would also be tested and treated, the British Medical Journal article states.

Various screening options, including DNA testing, are being considered by the government's health watchdog.

Familial hypercholesterolaemia is an inherited condition which affects about one in 500 people in which the body does not get rid of cholesterol in the usual way and it accumulates.

Adults aged 20-39 years with the condition have a 100-fold increased risk of dying from coronary heart disease.

But treatment with statins to lower cholesterol reduces the risk substantially.

A nationwide screening programme is being piloted in relatives of adults diagnosed with the familial hypercholesterolaemia but about four-fifths of people with the condition would not be found this way.

Analysis of 13 studies by researchers at Barts and the London Queen Mary's School of Medicine suggests testing children would identify most cases of the disorder.

Cholesterol tests in children between the age of one and nine years are the most accurate because as people get older their cholesterol gets higher for other reasons, such as an unhealthy diet, they say.

And the most obvious time to do the screening, which would involve a blood spot test, would be when children present for their routine vaccinations at 15 months.

Double hit

For every child with the condition, one parent would also have to be affected and they could also be tested and treated.

Study leader Dr David Wald, a consultant cardiologist, said: "What this proposal does is suggest a way of picking up most cases in the population as whilst you're doing it in children you reach their parents as well."

He added that although children would probably not be treated with statins until they were older they could help their risk, like anyone, by keeping a healthy weight, doing exercise, not smoking and eating a diet low in saturated fat.

The team are planning a pilot to assess feasibility and staff and parent acceptance.

The National Institute of Clinical Excellence is also looking at the issue and is due to report at the end of this year on what would be the best method for identifying those with the condition.

Dr Tony Wierzbecki, chairman of Heart UK's medical scientific and research committee, said in theory it was a good idea although tests were probably even more accurate in four to six year olds.

"In children you can be fairly certain that high cholesterol is mainly due to inherited disorders.

"But I don't think there's any consensus about what age you should screen for cholesterol.

"Worldwide the view is we need to be looking for family history of early heart disease and in these people it is worthwhile doing cholesterol checks."

He added that there were also genetic tests for the gene defect which causes the condition.

June Davison, cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "It's estimated that only around 10% of the predicted 110,000 people with FH are currently identified.

"All approaches should be considered, because - once identified - the condition can be treated and the consequences may be prevented."
