FLUORIDE: MORE HARM THAN GOOD? (1)

The issue of fluoridation has stirred up national controversy.American Dental Associationclaims that water fluoridationdecreases cavities by 50 to 70 percent. Opponents offluoridation cite dozens of studies that confirm its toxicity.

Both sides may be right. It's true that fluoride may help reducethe formation of bacterial acid in the mouth. However, researchalso shows that levels of one-half to one part per million of

fluoride increases tumor growth in mice by 15 to 25 percent.

Fluoride has also been linked to diarrhea, muscular pains, jointpain, excessive thirst and urination, bouts of acute abdominalpain, skin rashes, progressive exhaustion, stomachaches,nausea, and vomiting.

Yale professor Dr. J.A. Albright reported that as little as onepart per million of fluoride reduces bone strength and elasticity.

One problem is that the difference between a therapeuticdosage and a toxic dosage of fluoride is quite narrow.Furthermore, some individuals are more sensitive to fluoridethan others.

HERBAL REMEDIES FOR DRY MOUTH (5)

An estimated 25 percent of older Americans suffer from drymouth. Dry mouth is associated with aging, and is also a sideeffect of more than 400 common medications, including someprescribed for hypertension and depression.

Dry mouth is more than a minor annoyance. The salivaryglands in the mouth help fight tooth decay by neutralizing theacid that germs produce. Saliva also helps prevent gumdisease and mouth infections.

The following herbs have proven successful in stimulatingsalivation: Echinacea contains a saliva stimulating compoundcalled Echinacea. Herbalist James A. Duke, Ph.D.,recommends mixing a dropperful of Echinacea tincture in juice,or chewing the root of the fresh plant. Red pepper stimulatessaliva, seat and tears. Add red pepper to food, or mix it with

juice or tea. Multiflora rose is used in China to relieve drymouth. Simmer two to four teaspoons of the dried flower percup of boiling water. Evening primrose oil provides a wealth ofgammalinolenic acid(GLA). GLA treats autoimmune disorders

such as Sjogren's syndrome, which causes dry mouth.

Dr. Duke also points out that coffee, sugary beverages,alcohol, tobacco and salty foods can also exacerbate drymouth. He recommends sipping water frequently.
