Comments on Fluoride: Is Your Animal At Risk?

I am using a Berkey Water Purifier (it's more than a water filter) as well and can highly recommend it! Its a countertop filter (chrome cylinders) that comes in a number of sizes. It comes with black filters and optional fluoride + arsenic filters. This is the only water we drink and I am extremely happy with it. It removes viruses to purification standards, pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites to non detectable levels, and harmful or unwanted chemicals to below detectable levels. Here is a link to their independent test results of the filtration: http://www.berkeyfilters.com/Test_results.pdf
They are not cheap, but the filters last 6,000 gallons. I have the smallest one (Travel Berkey) for just my Aussie and I, and I have to check a couple times/day the water level. The next size up would probably have been better for us, but I love it just the same.

Will human grade bone meal be free of fluoride? My breeders uses a supplement called Inflight Coat Formula. The 5th ingredient is bone meal.
They said it is human grade with no fluoride added.
Thanks!

For those of us drinking RO water, it is important to replenish the vital minerals that we have filtered out (since we certainly aren't getting adequate amounts from our nutrient-devoid soil!)
The link below is for an all-around mineral supplement that you add back to your water. I highly recommend it! Serving is 2-3 drops per glass, preferably 30 drops per day. The fact that it makes the water taste better is just an added bonus! I am sure that there are other brands available, but this is a cost effective and readily available option.

My groomer swears she can tell the difference between dogs that drink tap water and those that don't. She says tap water drinkers tend to have runny eyes that stains the hair/fur around their eyes. My two get water from the under-sink RO filter, as do I. One has NO problem with runny eyes. The other only occasionally (when pollen is running high in the spring).

This is such an important topic, so thanks for bringing it up. There is a great article on how to rid the body of fluoride. http://educate-yourself.org/cn/boraxconspiracy03jul12.shtml I know 2 people who take Borax with good results. As a homeopath, I preferred to take the remedy. So when my energy was so low, I struggled to do the physical work I need to do outside, I took a dose of Borax 6c. Just one dose and I amazed myself the next day with what I achieved. More didn't achieve better results, so now I take one dose a week. It will be different for everyone.
Structured water is now emerging as the best way to remove all impurities from water as well as to give it life. Here is one website that I was given. Haven't got it yet, but it was recommended to me by someone who has. Lots of useful videos here. http://www.greenfieldnaturals.com/

I changed to bottled water delivery - here in Colorado - Eldorado Spring Water. Shortly after I started this, my doc took me off thyroid meds! The animals get it as well.

i have found a great source of drinking water it comes from Mineral Wells, TEXAS its called Crazy Water been drinking exclusivley no.2 and no.3 for some time now except for out to eat drinking ice tea.
they do fill jugs or bottles on site just need to start filling my dogs water bowls and they do drink a lot!

My dogs let me know they dislike tap water. I put the bowl down, they go to sniff and turn and look at me as if to say - are your serious?
It took at least a year to figure out what was going on. They were choosing not to drink tap water and would fill up at the river during walks. I was trying to discourage drinking from the river for fear of giardia or other nasties but it was the only place I could get them to drink.
A friend had a Berkey filtered water bottle and they happily drank from that. I have since purchased and been extremely happy with a Berkey Filter system with the fluoride filters. It sits on your counter, no electricity needed.
As my dad always said 'Trust the dog' - he knows things you don't.

It is my understanding that distilled water is a good choice for removing the fluoride but the process also removes the minerals. My dogs get distilled water but to each gallon I add about a half teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt. I don't know if this is enough to replace the minerals or too much. I'm trying to research the issue further.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents. We switched to a steam distiller about 15 years ago. We also have a reverse osmosis system on our tap water, which runs to the refrigerator and then runs to the steam distiller. It is the best tasting water ever. Period. And a very significant side note. My husband had kidney cancer, prostate cancer and 4 bladder cancers. It kept coming. Once we switched to RO and steam distilled, no more cancer. And it's all my dogs drink.

I feed raw bones to my dogs, no bone meal. However, their water comes from the fridge filter which now I worry. We used to buy distilled water. Is that better?
Is there anyway to get rid of fluoride in the body?
