Hello, I am new at this Forum. Over the course of several years I was overprescribed Cipro (as I know NOW, fluoride-based antibiotic). Also, I've been drinking fl.-laced tap water and a lot of the "healthy" green tea all my life. Also, fl. tooth paste (what ignorance!!). The consequences are too severe to describe here. In a word, I am now over 50 and a complete wreck (see Russ's posting at the top of this page. I have all of the above plus systemic vasculitis - continuous inflammation of ALL blood vessels, big and tiny).
Taking Calcium Carbonate for fluoride detox seems to make sense.
However, I've never been able to take Ca Carbonate or ANY FORM of Calcium (citrate, chelated, liquid,etc.) without clogging my gall bladder and kidneys with Calcium gravel in a couple of days.Had to go to ER many times. Also, Ca caused stomach inflammation. Even though I regularly take digestive enzymes, including betaine HChl, Ca supplements are off limits to me. (I do not have any stone problems UNLESS I take Calcium supplements). Actually, my Dr. (who is also interested in alternative medicine)confirmed that there is no form of calcium that can be fully absorbed by human body.
I WONDER IF ANYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.
Also, does anybody know the best RO filter? There are so many I am confused.
