Help please - fluoride

[ticker]

I've been searching for a method to rid fluoride from my tap water. I keep finding contradicting answers and no general consensus. Would any of you happen to know the best method (most efficient and cost effective)? I live in Canada if it makes any difference.

Thanks,

Thanks for the link, although they do seem fairly expensive. I am also not sure which companies to trust and which are scams. Has anyone had any positive personal experiences with a certain type of fluoride filter and would recommend it?

RO is NOT that.

Solar distillation with activated charcoal filtration (to keep it from becoming acidic). You can make your own activated charcoal with coconut husks as well.

Any links or further info. on this matter? Anything to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

that is a very good video but.. and its a big one , if you live in the uk where the hell are you gonna get the "solarness"from :)

There is another phase change form of water purification using freezing. I remember seeing a video of a town that got it's water from this method. They had water spray into the air where it would freeze, then let the contaminants drain from it. That method is brought up in the pdf.

So I tried out the mini solar water distiller and it worked as far as I can tell. Not sure how to really know if the fluoride was filtered out or not though. Anyways, what I'm getting at is that this method doesn't seem very practical for a family of 5. My parents said they are willing to supply the money (depending on the price) for a setup that will ensure a flowing supply of water without the fluoride. We would like to be able to turn on the tap and obtain un-contaminated water.

Thoughts on these filtration systems?

(this one seems to be a reasonable price and would only cost roughly $100 a year in replacement filters)

(this one is quite expensive and needs to be replaced every 3 years but it does filter the whole household of fluoride)

Anyone tried billing the city for fluoridation removal?

Wouldn't it in some cases be cheaper to dig your own well, and pump your own water?

Water isn't the only source of fluoride either.

I have just bought his book of 360+ pages!!, which will be my next read after David's book.
I recommend it.

Hi clozaril

Aloe Dent is a good fluoride-free brand available in the UK (toothpaste, mouthwash & floss). I use it all the time, as well as my son.

[clozaril]

thanks, seems quite pricey.
i suppose it's worth it

Kingfisher fluoride free toothpaste is not too expensive, at around £2.00. Been using it for the last few years; it has no artifical sweeteners, flavourings, colourings or preservatives. The fennel flavour is quite good. End of advert :)

Got your solar water distilling project on my to do list, looks a great idea.

Just a thought about dental floss: try TePe brushes, they come in different sizes to suit the size of the gaps between your teeth. http://www.tepe.se/ then go to the 'products' pull down menu / 'interdental brushes'.

I get them when I go for a checkup at the dentists but many shops now sell them they cost cost around £2.50 for a pack of 10 and are much more efficient and easier to use than dental floss.

Yeah it's a bit more expensive than the normal toothpastes, but definitely worth the extra couple of quid imo :)

boil the water leave it to cool for a day and you see flakes get a brita filter to shiv out flakes and your done.

So I'm new to this whole fluoride thing, but I'm wondering if fluoride is supposedly put in bottled water and other beverages (almost all contain water) to, or is it just tap water?

It depends where the manufacture gets he water from? spring water is good of course and may contain natural fluoride/salt. Other beverages will certainly contain fluoride as they get there water that is supplied from the city.

If you able to buy a water tank get one and a cheap charcoal filter to take out common pollutants.

Colidial Silver filters that attach to the inlet from the pipes out front is a good idea for the chemicals that they put into water are more activated when you are showering and using hot water.

Search around my friend and you will find what you are looking for.;)
