Having forgotten some of the research I'd done on fluoride/fluoridation/fluoride drugs, I dropped by the library and checked out a few books - some new, some old.  I found some interesting research findings I'd not known or had forgotten.

1.  There is much more to discuss about water fluoridation than what you drink.  One factor not often discussed is absorption through the skin.  In this article there are multiple scientists who have concluded that absorption via ingestion is less than through the skin when taking a shower or bath.  The effects of Sodium Laurel Sulfate  (SLS) are also mentioned.  Quickie

2.  Dangers of fluoride drugs.  Linked to Thicker Arteries.  Prozac (and look-alikes) 49 Page Book, Index of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, site with easy links; lots of links and connection between fluorine and thyroid related problems. 

3.  Fluoroquinolone drugs can really take a toll on your digestive tract!  The next time that a doctor recommends Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox or any other Quinolone or Fluoroquinolone antibiotic be sure to consider whether the risk of contracting a permanently disabling side effect such as tendon rupture, severe digestive tract damage or Fibromyalgia-like symptoms is worth it.  See NN
