Fluoride Detox Methods
The good news is that if you want to lower the amount of fluoride in your system, you can do so by making some adjustments to your diet.
One simple step you can take is to increase your consumption of calcium and magnesium. Minerals interact with one another, and it so happens that calcium and magnesium, both beneficial minerals in their own right, have the ability to help reduce the levels of fluoride in your body. Calcium draws fluoride away from the bones, and magnesium prevents your body’s cells from absorbing as much of it as they normally might. These two minerals are most beneficial when consumed together. Good sources of calcium and magnesium include dairy products, nuts, fish, avocados, and leafy green vegetables.
Another element that can help you reduce your fluoride levels is iodine, which plays a very important role in thyroid function. Your body cannot synthesize iodine on its own, so you must get it from an external source. Iodine helps by improving your body’s ability to rid itself of fluoride through excretion. One study found that taking only one dose of iodine increased the execration of fluoride by 78 percent. Good sources of iodine are yogurt, fish, potatoes, navy beans, and cranberries. Talk to your doctor before using iodine supplementation, as thyroid health is nothing to be trifled with.
Finally, you may want to consider eating a tamarind with lunch. This unique African food is something like a cross between a bean and fruit and has a flavor that is both sweet and tart. Also found in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisine, tamarind has the ability to help reduce the amount of fluoride absorbed in your body. A study in India found that teenagers who ate 10 grams of tamarind daily experienced a significant increase in their body’s excretion of fluoride through urination after 18 days. The tamarind was literally flushing it out of them.

Forced-fluoridation started in the US in 1945. Fluoride is highly toxic and a cumulative poison, like lead, arsenic, and mercury. I have asked many forced-fluoridation fanatics to tell me how much accumulated fluoride in the body they think is safe. So far not a single one of them has been able to answer the question.

It is unlikely to just be a coincidence that the US, Australia, and Ireland, which have had high rates of forced-fluoridation for decades, also have high rates of joint problems, and poor health outcomes in general.
