Get the lead out, Moms and Dads!

And Grandpas and Grandmas.

                                                    Check paint, plastic, pottery, plasticine.

Children absorb 52 % more lead over the blood/brain barrier than do adults exposed to the same sources and levels of lead.

Lead poisoning happens to children in the home far more often than from any other source. You are their front line of defence, but since lead poisoning also happens to adults, perhaps the resulting brain damage is what is preventing you from acting on your children’s behalf.

Get a household lead test kit, and check your bathtub enamel, your silverware, your ceramics, and your plastic sippy cups and painted surfaces and kids’ paints for lead. There is absolutely no use in filtering lead out of your drinking water if you are putting it right back into your mouth by eating acidic foods and drinks off plates and and cutlery that are leaching lead. Some faucet plumbing is still legally being sold that is full of lead, despite EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) efforts to get it banned. Again; what is the point of putting in water filters at the point of entry to the home, if the lead is put back in at the faucet?

The best household and professional lead test kit on the market today is LeadCheck by Hybrivet. It is sold, in slightly different packaging, to parents and plumbers alike. Hybrivet has given Homax the distribution right to the consumer 2-stick pack in North America, retailing for U.S.$7.99. The packaging claims that the sticks will only do up to two positive tests each, but that has never been my experience.

The United States government has endorsed the LeadCheck lead test kit as the best kit on the market in North America for the past fifteen years. Canada uses the US. stats and endorsements for its own guidelines. Canada also relies on the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA for short, for its independent, publicly funded assessment of the safety of consumables in North America. The EPA also encourages you to be the lead police in your home.

I distribute the LeadCheck kit for Homax here in Canada, and the two-pack will do up to 14 tests per stick, as long as they are stored in a cool, dry place.

Come on people; that is around 50 cents a test. I am sure your family is worth it. Laboratory tests run around $35.00 per test. Who can afford to test all the kids’ toys, mini-blinds, knapsacks, paints and costume jewellery and candy at that price?

Call me, at National Lead Test. I’ll tell you how to get more than two tests per stick. It’s easy, and accurate.

And far less expensive that way.

My agenda is prevention first, profit second. There is no need to use one stick per test in many, if not most, instances.

Call me for the how-to.

           Lead is in 68 per cent of bathtub enamel installed before 1978.  Stand alone old tubs are also full of lead.

Lead poisoning causes ADHD, anemia, rage, brain cancer, brain damage, damage to motor functions and cognition, and nephritis (kidney disease). I might write humorous blogs and dedicate humor-riddled pages to the topic of lead poisoning, but lead poisoning is no laughing matter.

Silica-based fluoridation has made the problem even worse. Not only does lead cross the blood/brain barrier, it now crosses the blood/gut barrier. Cases of ADHD and ADD have gone up 600% in townships and villages in New York State that changed over from sodium-based flouridation in the public water supply to silica-based flouridation. The American Dental Association announced, on its website in 2002, that they had made an error in endorsing flouridation and are promoting calcium-based treatments instead.

Cavistat is the name of the product they now endorse. The American Dental Association has not made a big fanfare out of the decision due to fear of class-action lawsuits.

Check it out for yourselves. Meanwhile, drop the flouride. It makes teeth brittle, causes bleeding gums if used excessively, and actually kills people if swallowed by the tube. People, of course, meaning children, as they are the only ones, other than starving or stoned adults, who would ingest it in the first place. Even small amounts of toothpaste eaten while brushing one’s teeth, can result in the proverbial night-time tummy pain that many children complain about.

Try Tom’s of Maine, non-flouride toothpaste, or any other flouride-free toothpaste on the market today. Well.ca, Herbal Remedies.com and Solay.com, all carry flouride-free toothpastes and powders that taste great and are effective.

Solay products are rated the safest products on the market by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). The EWG is another independent watchdog organization that tests and reports on the chemical constituents in thousands of consumables.

Please, please, please, go there.

So, you’re still here are you?

I know; I am addicting.

Don’t feel like checking it out, then at least know this:

The American Dental Association announced back on June 16th, 2000, that the new and improved cavity-fighting tool that beats fluoride hands down, is none other than calcium.

What a surprise.

In January of 2006, researchers overwhelmingly supported the use of a calcium-rich substance called Cavistat as the best cavity-fighter. Ask about Cavistat at DentalHygiene.ca.

Ask your dentist to use it and dump the fluoride.

Stand up for yourselves and your children and grandchildren.

If you don’t, you might not be standing up at all. Fluoride, it turns out, causes osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis, mottled and/or crumbly teeth, heart palpitations, and a cup of tea that sends you into hyperspace.

WTF?!

Why take fluoride?

Yes. That’s what I was thinking with those initials.

Ahem.

Dental hygiene.ca, dental hygiene.ca. These keywords will help to take the pain away. Because they will bring you into my website and I will be happy to hook you up with the NYSCOF.

Just call me the Cavistat Kid. Gleaming, shiny white teeth blinding an unsuspecting universe. My disarming smile stopping people in their tracks.

Don’t laugh. It actually happened.

I was working retail for a while last year when film was slow, and I smiled at an elderly customer. She was actually startled and jumped back two feet. So did a gentleman that same week. They both laughed and said that they had not expected such a lovely, warm smile in that usually hostile store.

The fact that they were in shock was all the more surprising since it was a Sallie Anne outlet. That is the Salvation Army store for those of you not familiar with the term. You know, God is love and all of that. Smiles are usually included, one would think.

Well, think again! They actually have a”Pit of Damnation” in which poor people seeking refuge in their shelters are permitted to indulge in a cigarette. I kid you not. 

Yes. The Cavistat Kid.The new cartoon hero of soon-to- be-released anti-fluoride, pro-calcium toothpaste commercials around the world.

Hey. You are supposed to be laughing with me, not at me. Just stop, or I’ll have to bite you in the knee cap.

With my perfect, fluoride-free pearly whites.

The union of scientists for the EPA has asked for fluoride’s removal from toothpaste and water. It apparently has been proven, unequivacally, to do more harm than good. And the risk to children’s health in particular, is not worth the risk of any supposed benefit it may have for a small portion of the population’s tooth enamel.

Children swallow toothpaste. So do a lot of adults. Too much fluoride-filled toothpaste causes very bad stomach aches, and less than a tube of toothpaste can kill a 25 pound child.

Two tubes can kill an adult.

CSI says so.

If you can’t trust CSI, well, I just don’t know who you can trust.

I remember playing “inventor” as a child. Toothpaste was often the main ingredient in my mad scientist concoctions.This was long before the U.S. and Canadian governments insisted that fluoride be listed as a poison on the toothpaste tubes in 1997.

I remember parents happily allowing their children to play with their toothbrushes and the toothpaste tube while in the bathtubs. Limitless amounts of toothpaste were being sucked between their children’s teeth and down their gullets. Parents thought that this would be beneficial for their precious baby boos.

I wonder how many children’s commonly reported bed-time stomach aches were a result of this innocent  practice, and not an excuse for more attention, as it was often thought.

I have recently been using a fluoridated toothpaste, since we ran out of our fluoride-free one, and I was housebound due to a torn knee. I love my teeth, and am happy to have a shiny, white, clean smile so that I can mesmerize my victims into providing me with favours.

You can imagine my dismay when I realized my machiavellian plans would all be falling by the wayside because my gums were bleeding for no apparent reason. No plaque or tartar build-up; I just had my teeth cleaned recently.

I went to the trusty internet to find out what might be causing the bleeding gums. A site called Doctor’s Home Remedies stated that anyone having teeth and gum difficulties without obvious cause should stop using fluoride toothpaste, as too much, ie. any fluoride could be the cause of these problems.

And many other problems in the body also. ADD and ADHD included.

What?…..

I was shocked to learn that fluoride, even in the so-called small amounts found in toothpaste and public water supplies, can contribute to thyroid issues, arthritis, low levels of digestive enzymes, weak joints, loose and brittle teeth, and mottled enamel.

Fluoride combines with other chemicals, you see, so the positive results for tooth enamel are dependent upon other, uncontrollable factors. Fluoride dangers are numerous. I will dedicate a later post to a more in-depth scientific paper on the extent to which fluoride can affect our bodies, with the emphasis on why.

For the time being, please just take the EPA’s word for it, and stop using any toothpaste, water, or mouthwash with fluoride in it.

Fluoride can actually kill you, or leave you toothless.

Or dead and toothless.

How undignified.

How insane to even consider putting this stuff in our water supply and toothpaste.

I gimped out to the car and hobbled into the drug store in order to find a fluoride-free toothpaste. There was only one product available in the major pharmaceutical franchise known as Shopper’s Drug Mart.

Shopper’s carries Tom’s of Maine brand toothpaste in a number of natural fluoride-free flavours. I used it for only one evening and one morning, and my bleeding gums healed and have stayed healthy ever since. I am never going back to a fluoride toothpaste again, not even in an emergency. I’ll suck it up and use salt or baking soda if I can’t get out to the store.

Since fluoride can also cause heart palpitations, and a hyper-sensitive response to a simple cup of tea, it is totally evil and should no longer be scraped out of the smoke stacks of fertilizer factories and dumped  into the water and dental paste of an unsuspecting, and uninformed general public.

The general public might be ignorant, but those in the know who allow this poisoning of the populous to continue unabated as a means of getting rid of a deadly environmental contaminant which is an offshoot of fertilizer manufacuring, are criminals.

Hurting their own families for a profit.

Support the Environmental Protection Agency in their scientifically-backed fight to free us from fluoride poisoning.

Solay toothpastes, like all of their products, are given the green light for poison-free and allergy-free cosmetic products by the U.S.-based international cosmetic watch-dog, the Environmental Energy Workers SkinDeep cosmetic database site, www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. No fluoride dangers lurking in any of Solay’s products. (And yes, “fluoride dangers” is a keyword phrase that I need to repeat to drive traffic to this site. So is fluoride-free toothpaste. Hee hee; I sneaked it in. I’m so sneaky. Not.)

Tom’s of Maine carry one fluoridated toothpaste that they have recently and most misguidedly added to their dental cleaning arsenal. They have bowed to the pressures of a misinformed public.

Don’t sell out to The Man, Tom. Stick with fluoride-free toothpaste. Be a man.
