Fluoride Poisoning/Toxicity Help

[bk_]

Hi all,

Recently went to the dentist this morning and foolishly agreed to do a 2% sodium fluoride rinse for the first time. They left this in my mouth and did not let me rinse it out with water. I felt dizzy within 10 minutes and it's only getting worse (never happened at previous appointments and is not normal!).

What can I do to flush fluoride out of my system as quickly as possible?

A high dosage of Lugol's iodine would probably be helpful. I've done upwards of 100-200 mg Iodine with no noticeable problems although I prefer to maintain at lower dosages around 25 mg a day these days. Still be aware that there is the chance it may cause hyperthyroid flare ups if you have hot nodules, and there is a chance the TSH spike may cause some fatigue for you also.

Also be aware that Iodine supplementation at these dosages are not RP approved, but I don't agree with RP's stance on Iodine. So do it at your own risk. But I think it's safe.

Iodine directly works to flush out excess Chlorine, Flourine, and Bromine from the body. It can also be helpful to take some magnesium, salt, and B vitamins alongside it.

Take it easy man. Don't do anything, it will pass. If you did it just once It's a small ammount if you compare it to people drinking fluorinated water or using fluorinated toothpaste daily.

Getting paranoid and stressed about it is doing you much more harm.

Taurine. But don't worry, it will pass. 12 hours is nothing.

There are studies about taurine protecting against fluoride.

Does taurine also protect against bromine and chlorine?

I don't know, sorry. I just know about fluoride. There are a few studies about it, some of them already mentioned in the forum.

Just an update the dizziness is gone but now im experiencing a lot of fatigue all weekend. I think vitamin C helped for the dizziness, i tried taking calcium/magnesium but that did nothing.

boron can help.

Have you got any of these symptoms of low calcium?

1. Fainting
2. Heart failure
3. Chest pains
4. Numbness and tingling sensations around the mouth or in the fingers and toes
5. Muscle cramps, particularly in the back and legs; may progress to muscle spasm ( tetany)
6. Wheezing
7. Difficulty swallowing
8. Voice changes due to spasm of the larynx
9. Irritability, impaired intellectual capacity, depression, anxiety, and personality changes
10. Fatigue
11. Seizures
12. Coarse hair
13. Brittle nails
14. Psoriasis
15. Dry skin
16. Chronic itching
17. Tooth decay
18. Numbness or tingling in the extremities
19. Muscle weakness
20. Cataracts
21. Osteoporosis symptoms (backache; a gradual loss of height and an accompanying stooped posture; fractures of the spine, wrist, or hip)

At work we had people that used hydrofluoric acid which contains fluoride. Spilling it on your skin could lead to death as the fluoride ions would bind to calcium in your blood and cause it to drop below safe levels. The immediate antidote was to rub the area with calcium gluconate gel.

Given that the immediate exposure has passed you want to probably use iodine know to get rid of any excess in your body. If you have any symptoms of low calcium listed above try some calcium on its own to see if that helps as well.
