Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hello, I found the recent discussions of hypothyroid issues very interesting as I too have been dealing with it for many years now. I'm not sure if everyone is aware of this or not, but fluoride has been proven to be a major factor in wide range of health issues including thyroid disease. As the TCM philosophy is one of treating the organic whole, then it would make sense to see what kind of effect these common chemicals that we ingest every day (without realizing it) do to our bodies as a whole. If you live in an area with fluoridated water and you suffer from thyroid issues that don't seem to go away no matter how meticulous you are with your diet, exercise and medical regime, perhaps you may want to investigate this further. Below is a link that will provide some fascinating reading for you with regard to fluoride and how it really affects the body. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/fluoride.htm There is much, much more information available if you want to dig further, but this will give you a lot to mull over in itself.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Carol, I agree that fluoridation--even if there was some benefit to be gained--has reached a ridiculous level. It's in our drinking water, toothpaste and any drinks we buy that were made with a fluoridated water supply. I've had dentists try to give it to me at appointments (to boost their profits maybe since I'm already getting so much!). My daughter's school gives it to the kids once a year, which I always refuse to give permission for.
