The Fluoride Papers

In The Fluoride Papers the symptoms experienced by the main character Cooper Hayes from fluoride poisoning are the same as my own symptoms which began when I was a teenager. My symptoms gradually worsened over the years. They included staining and erosion of the enamel of my teeth torn muscles and tendons joint pain brain fog and hemorrhoids. In 2004 I was listening to a medical talk show on which the guest proposed that these and other symptoms might be due to an excess of fluoride in the diet. At first I doubted that this could be the case as most medical professionals maintain that fluoride serves a beneficial role in the human body primarily in the prevention of cavities. However I realized that I could put the issue to a test becoming in essence my own laboratory rat. So I eliminated fluoride from my diet eating organic fruits and vegetables and throwing out my fluoride toothpaste. Within a few months my symptoms began to go away demonstrating that fluoride was indeed the culprit.
