For whatever it is worth: in Dec. 2003, no thanks to an individual whose doctor and dentist had told her "no one can be allergic to fluoride," I was then served cookies sweetened with Aspertame (Nutrasweet) which I had previously told her I would not use nor consume because it is a man-made synthetic amino acid which is created using a fluoride. She is now a believer of what I say because the subsequence of her trust in the opinion of her fluoride ignorant MD and dentist was that I experienced a horrendous exema (over 40% of my body) which became a living Hell, literally, because my wholistic MD could not treat me for it. The natural (animal-origin) adrenal-cortical-extract he'd used before was no longer available and the standard Cortisone (fluoride base synthetic adrenal hormone) treatment would possibly have killed me. To add insult to injury, a few days after this person's ignorance was effected upon me with those toxic cookies, the region I
live in experienced an air inversion which lasted for three weeks!
Without going into what is lengthy detail, my education in nutrition, biochemistry, immunology (& a smattering of astrophysics) enabled me to hold my own and keep my sanity and self-control in spite of being able to sleep only 2 hrs every 18 to 14 and having to shower three and four times a day to control the itching and flaking of my skin. Four months later, a detox clinic in another state was found which, using intravenous B-12, et al chelation, dry sauna and colonics, had me 50% improved in 24 hours. A week of treatment and I was on the mend; however, it took me nearly a year to rid myself of all the affected skin. Daily supplementing with lipoic acid and biotin seemed to be the key. (My MD said he'd never seen anyone affected as badly as I was recover as totally as I did.)
Now, the point of this is,
nearly $1000 worth of lab tests done previously by my wholistic MD found me grossly deficient in lipoic acid and biotin which (without lengthy detail) I have since found is the key to enabling my body, at least, to properly rid itself of fluorides via the bowel rather than the skin. Two other exema sufferers, whom I've passed this info onto, have found the same. I live in the Spokane Valley, which is currently experiencing a horrible air inversion, complicated by the fact Spokane (since 8/91) has been burning its waste in a municipal incinerator which "legally" pollutes everyone with HF gas and microscopic F particulate for 200 miles downwind!

Dear Krmaxr,Cipro treatment is known by us on this list, and by researchers paying attention to fluoride poisoning, to cause fluoride poisoning and hypersensitivity to fluoride in food, water and other meds that used to be tolerated before the Cipro treatment. Even though it does not release a whole lot of fluoride inside the body through metabolism, the fluorinated Cipro molecule apparently wrecks the cell membrane receptors that control inflammation. The features of Rheumatoid Arthritis are similar to fluoride poisoning and that is a common misdiagnosis. However, since doctors aren't ever taught how to properly recognize and differentiate auto-immune arthritis from fluoride poisoning, they can't really be blamed for the mistake.What you do now is radically reduce your mom's fluoride exposures as much as possible, ramp up the vitamin C and natural anti-inflammatory foods, herbs and fish oils, and try to get as much natural calcium and magnesium from foods like raw milk kefir and organic vegetables. Try to get pharmaceutical grade calcium gluconate in powder or liquid and take it in small frequent doses to try to reach at least 1000 mg per day.Look up the fluoride content of various common foods on www.fluoridealert.org and www.SLweb.org and switch over to plain fresh foods, prepared from scratch, no additives or precooked or processed anything.Drink and cook with distilled water for now. You can make decisions on water filtration later.We can't give medical advice here but many of us have been in fluoride poisoning hell for a long time so we have accumulated a lot of experience. Some of us have really benefited from thyroid hormones (prescription). If your mother is willing, we need to record cases such as hers for medical journal articles so that doctors can find out that Cipro (and other fluorinated drugs) can have this awful effect on patients.Aliss Terpstra----- Original Message -----From: krmaxrSent: Monday, February 25, 2008 5:11 PMSubject: [FluoridePoisoning] CiproHeres my "story"
My mom (age 56) was sick a while back with a sore throat. She went to
DR and s/he gave her an anitbiotic to fix her. Soon after (a week?)
and she came down with a bladder infection from said meds. SSSOOOO
they give her CIPRO. She starts taking and in a matter of days ended
up with extreme swelling in wrists / hands. after 7 days I convince
her to stop taking meds and go back to Dr. They say of maybe (?) a
reaction to cipro so stop taking. Her sympton are still there and now
have moved to elbows and the legs and everywhere. Now they are telling
her she has RA.
Its funny (not even a little) that she never had any RA symptoms before
taking cipro.
My question is do you know of any other cases like this?
Could it be RA?
Could it be floride poisoning?
WHAT DO WE DO????
Please any help would be truly appreciated.
an aside mom and i are both from MI.
Thank You!
