Fluorosis Is A Disease Which Occurs From Ingesting Elevated Levels Of Fluoride – A Deadly Poison. Fluorosis – An Agonising Death “People do not die immediately. People die a little each day inch by inch. They may live 70 years with an unproductive life, an agonising life until the end of their day.” “If the fatality rate would have been high I always said that it would have been better as neither would they suffer and it would have caught the attention of governments.” Lamented one of the world’s leading authorities regarding fluoride and the affect it has on the human body. Many people, particularly in the developing world, have to rely on tube wells that tap into underground aquifers to access the daily drinking water supply. Unbeknown to them the groundwater they rely on could be contaminated with elevated levels of fluoride. UNCEF reports that fluorosis is endemic in at least 25 countries across the globe. The WHO estimated that 2.7 million people in China alone are suffering from the crippling form of skeletal fluorosis. “Fluoride being a deadly poison does not spare any tissue or cell in the body.” “It can develop dental fluorosis affecting the teeth; it can develop skeletal fluorosis affecting the bones, and the third entity is all the soft tissues in the body such as the muscles, the blood vessels, stomach lining, testicles and ovaries.

Just like it is in medication too.” “Fluoride poisoning can be linked with so many other complaints such as iritable bowel syndrom and poly urethra.” "Some western nations fluoridate drinking water and toothpaste saying it’s good for teeth.” “We understand fluorosis far better, and countries
