Fluoride is another toxin that strains the thyroid. Fluoride is especially toxic to those with lupus.  Studies also show that diabetic children are at risk from fluoridated water because of reduced kidney function. Fluoridated tap water and even fluoride toothpaste should be avoided.  Tea can also contain high levels of fluoride.

I find it more than a little crazy that the EPA regulates fluoride as a toxic waste and will not allow it to be dumped in rivers, lakes, or streams, but is perfectly fine with it being put in our drinking water.  Countries outside the U.S. approach fluoridating water more cautiously. In 1978, the West German Association of Gas & Water Experts vetoed fluoridation partly because the “optimal fluoride concentration” is so close to the dose at which long-term damage to the human body is to be expected.

“Pain (any pain–emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: “We would be more alive if we did more of this,” and, “Life would be more lovely if we did less of that.” Once we get the pain’s message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.”
-Peter McWilliams

Dr. George L. Waldbott, using double-blind tests, was able to determine that fluoridated water can cause muscular weakness, chronic fatigue, headaches, skin rashes, joint pain, and tingling in the extremities. He treated more than 500 patients at his clinics with these symptoms, which were relieved by removing fluoride from their diets. Since these are all symptoms of various autoimmune diseases, including fibromyalgia, it would be well worth eliminating fluoride to see if there is an improvement in your condition.
