My family has stopped drinking fluoridated drinking water as of June 2010. Since giving up fluoride, we have found an improvement in ADD symptoms, concentration, are more alert, and have more energy. To remove fluoride from your own drinking water, you must use reverse osmosis or Activated Alumina Defluoridation filter to remove fluoride. My husband and I would like to purchase a Berkey filter which costs around $200, in the near future. For the near future, we will continue to refill our BPA free plastic bottles at the Culligan or Glacier water fill stations located at retail stores in our community. Glacier and Culligan both use reverse osmosis, carbon filters, and UV light to purify tap water. Brita, Pur, and most other home water filters DO NOT remove fluoride from drinking water.
We also have stopped using fluoride toothpaste and either make our own toothpaste or use a fluoride-free variety of Tom's of Maine toothpaste. Since giving up fluoride, 2 of our 3 kids had no cavities at their last dental checkup. This is actually quite an improvement since their visits last fall, when they each had at least 2 cavities. We will keep monitoring this and keep you posted. I will warn you that the dentist we went to did not think giving up fluoride was a good idea, so be prepared to receive some resistance.
