Question

HI
Does anyone know of a natural product that I can replace fluoride with? I have no natural saliva and so I am to be put on fluoride treatments daily. Since this if full of aluminium I need to stay clear of it and really need to find something that is super gentle and does the trick.

Ordinary black tea contains fluoride. I think green tea does as well but not as much but I stand to be corrected on that one.

I recently read that green tea does contain fluoride as well.

Ricky, are you saying that naturally occurring fluoride in tea is okay? (Honestly asking your opinion) I don't want to give up my tea!

The naturally occuring flouride in things like tea is a different thing to the stuff they use to treat water supplies or add to toothpaste and mouthwash

IMO the advantages of tea to health out weighs the fluoride in it.

"PITY!!!", just like the old ads for Red Rose Tea used to say, when the English tea lover found out it was "Only available in Canada!!" (but, actually, fortnum and mason's WAY better...and I can't find it that easily here...)

Tea does have flouride in it--but we all know the mental state of Thea, the homeopathic remedy made from black tea, can be murderous! If you check out the homeopathic remedy made from flouride, you will also see its propensity for violence...
So it may not be the same as the flouride put in water and toothpastes or dental solutions...but it is not altogether that good. I know what you mean about not wanting to give up the health benefits of tea, though, and I bet there are other components in tea which help the body to eliminate the flouride or stop it from accumulating (similar to the way it does this with caffeine, which coffee can not do).

In any case, I'm not convinced flouride should be "replaced" at all!! Even in its natural state, it seems to be an element we should keep out of the human body. Couldn't the lack of saliva be treated homeopathically?

I was sent some Dr Reg's R92 for drymouth. It works as I tried just one drop in a teaspoon of water.
