Do you have a child with ADHD?
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental complications in childhood. It is characterized by having symptoms of no attention towards something along with hyperactivity or impulsivity and these symptoms can persist till the adulthood. It is believed to develop mainly from environmental and genetic effects. The environmental factors include exposure to manganese which is main causative factor of the disorder.
The proof from an experimental exploration study demonstrates that kids who live in water areas, where the water supply is methodically fluoridated, endure with ADHD at an altogether higher rate. The study was based on children in the United States.
Fluoridation causes increased risk of ADHD
Despite the fact that such restricted environmental studies have conveyed the vast majority of what we think about the advantages and damages of fluoridated water, it is difficult to think about another study revealing much insight into this issue.
Drinking fluoridated water as a kid positively improves the probability that both the digestion and
uptake of a lethal synthetic will begin a procedure of bio aggregation at a youthful age. Since youthful bodies are smaller and more touchy, there is significantly less body mass to cushion the unfavorable impacts of fluoride, (for example, fluoride bringing down IQ).
The different pharmaceutical prescriptions that are routinely endorsed for ADHD are both intense and perilous over the long haul. Medications like Adderall, Ritalin, and Wilburton each have their not insignificant rundown of unfavorable reaction.
The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on the other hand, considers water fluoridation as one of the 10 extraordinary general wellbeing accomplishments. Water fluoridation, as indicated by CDC, has been a viable apparatus in battling dental rot in United States. The non-supporters of water fluoridation set forward a fascinating counterargument. As per them, the mandatory fluoridation to enhance dental wellbeing is totally pointless.
How to Avoid Fluoride?
The main sources of fluoride entrance are drinking water and using toothpaste. Although it can be very easy to get fluoride-free toothpaste but getting fluoride-free water is next to impossible. There are certain ways in which one can find him or herself very much away from being potent to ADHD or other fluoride caused complications.
- Fluoride-Free Toothpaste – In most part of the world especially those that do not add
fluoride to their water, have added fluoride to their toothpaste and all those countries that lie within those regions are altogether termed as fluoride belts which include various parts of Africa, India, Pakistan, China and the Middle East. To avoid fluoride in these countries, one should always go for toothpaste that has “fluoride-free” written on its packing. - Fluoride Reduction Water Filters – In the event that you think your water is fluoridated, check with your nearby water office to discover without a doubt. Whether your water is fluoridated or normally high in fluorides, fluoride can be sifted through. In any case, know that not many water channels dependably uproot fluoride. In the event that a channel does not particularly state it evacuates fluoride, accept it doesn’t. Get your work done before making the interest in a fluoride-decreasing water channel.
Many people might not agree with these research findings and the evaluations recently done to prove how water fluoridation can increase ADHD in children but the truth is taken out to the people and it will take time to get it into everyone’s mind.
Moreover, fluoride should be avoided for good as it is not only associated with increased incidence of causing ADHD but also several other problems.
The best source of toothpaste I believe is DoTerra on guard tooth paste or Young Living toothpaste or make your own using baking soda and on guard oil.
