There are two types of flouride.

Repeat of Question 3.
Is there a difference in the effectiveness between naturally occurring fluoridated water at optimal fluoride levels and water that has fluoride added to reach the optimal level?
Opposition's Response
Fluoride, as such, is never added to the water. Only silicofluorides (a hazardous waste containing many toxic pollutants) are used to artificially fluoridate water, and studies have proven that they do not effectively prevent tooth decay, they only delay it. (See opposition's response to Question 4). Silicofluorides never occur naturally in nature, and they are 85 times more toxic than natural occurring calcium fluoride. Therefore, the effect on the entire body will be different.
This was proven in a study called, "Comparative Toxicity of Fluorine Compounds." After this study was completed, this statement was made: " ... this meant a daily intake of approximately 40 mg/kg of fluorine from sodium fluoride as compared with 3400 mg/kg from calcium fluoride. Therefore, from the standpoint of lethal concentrations and amount of fluorine necessary to cause growth inhibition, wide differences in toxicity of some of the compounds of fluoride were noted." (See 3-1: Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. July 1934, page 797). In other words, industrial waste (sodium fluoride) is 85 times more toxic than natural calcium fluoride. Both of them contain fluoride, but they are totally different compounds. (Also see 3-2).
Calcium is a well-known antidote for fluoride poisoning. When an antidote accompanies a poison, it makes the poison far less toxic to the body. Soft waters to which fluoride is artificially added lack this calcium which is present in most waters that contain natural fluoride.
"The claim that fluoridation is one of 'nature's experiments' is not valid because the salts put into the water supply, sodium fluoride or silicofluorides, are industrial products never found in natural water or in organisms. They are, furthermore, notoriously toxic, sufficiently so to be used as rat poison or insecticide. Calcium fluoride, on the other hand, which is the form commonly found in natural waters, is not toxic enough for such uses." — Dr. C. G. Dobbs, (Ph.D., A.R.C.S.) Bangor, Wales, England."
http://www.fluoridedebate.com/question03.htmlthe version of flouride that is added to our drinking water builds up in our pineal gland, causing alot of glandular issues-- I remember reading in a womans magazine last year- (I believe it was "Woman's World" magazine) how a woman was experiencing adrenal fatigue symptoms, very sluggish and couldnt lose weight, etc.,etc. A doctor found out she had a build up of flouride over time, which ultimately created this condition in her. She had to go off any flouride toothpaste , and cut out anything with flouride before her body detoxed from the flouride.
From what I gather, the natural occuring flouride in certain natural water sources is actually safe and healthy , even though it also causes teeth stains as the toxic by-product version added to mass population water supplies.
I , and others , have noticed that my teeth have become very very white after I stopped drinking flouiridated water or using flouride toothpaste. I also noticed an improvement in my gum health, though the gums also first improved after I had all my metal fillings replaced.
