The Wolff-Chaikoff
Effect: Crying Wolf? by Dr. Guy E. Abraham, M.D. - Dr. Abraham
explains how medical iodine-phobia came about - through the efforts of two UC-Berkeley
Scientists just after World War II. Dr. Abraham says, "The most effective
way to destroy a nation is to remove iodine from the food supply. The W-C
effect resulted in the removal of iodine from the food supply and most likely
caused more misery and death in the US than both world wars combined due to its
negative impact on iodine consumption by the US population and on the use of
inorganic, non-radioactive iodine in medical practice."

Thyroid Disorders
Dear Doctors: A Letter From Your Former Patient - From About.com:
Thyroid Disease
This is a heartwrenching, but all too familiar, story about a patient's
misdiagnosis. Anyone who has been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue,
Fibromyalgia, depression, Restless Leg Syndrome, Ovarian Cysts, Irritable Bowel
Syndrome, costochondritis, Wilson's Syndrome, etc. needs to read this patient's
account of how so many doctors missed the obvious signs of her disease.
It emphasizes the point that you need to trust your own instincts when it comes
to treating your health problems. Do your own research and don't be
afraid to seek a second (or third) medical opinion!

The Fluoride Deception (Interview with Christopher Bryson) |
| The
fluoride in your drinking water is a known toxin, the waste product from
aluminum and fertilizer plants, which is continually deposited into your
body. If you ingest more fluoride than your body is capable of eliminating,
various stages of fluorosis may ensue. Symptoms of early skeletal fluorosis
include:
Since these symptoms are similar to some of those associated with
fibromyalgia, eliminating fluoride as much as possible is recommended. [Dr.
Mercola, Feb. 2, 2008] |
| Click here
for a list of medications which contain fluoride. Many people believe
the onset of their fibromyalgia coincided with a prolonged course of taking
the broad spectrum antibiotic Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) or another fluorinated
antibiotic or drug. Many fluorinated drugs have been removed from the
market, such as the weight loss drugs Redux, Pondimin, and Fen-Phen.
Antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil and Luvox also contain fluoride.

| Some researchers have connected fluoride poisoning with
fibromyalgia:
"The
Cause of Fibromyalgia" by Jason A. Uttley is an informative paper! |
| An article published in the Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, written
by Julia A. Laylander, highlights the emerging scientific evidence linking
Chronic Fluoride Toxicity to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and
Fibromyalgia. Those who want to understand the science behind this emerging
theory shouldn't miss this important work!
PART 1 OVERVIEW
& PART 2 SYMPTOMS. |
| If you want to know why those suffering from Fibromyalgia are repeatedly
tested for Hypothyroidism, or why thyroid dysfunction is so frequently
diagnosed prior to the development of the more debilitating symptoms of
Fibromyalgia, please read
CHRONIC FLUORIDE POISONING Q&A, which was published in Earth Clinic's
August, 2007 Newsletter. |
| Remember, iodine detoxifies fluoride from the body.
