Hi Striveon,

Flouride may come form Fluorite (CaF2) crystals, which are found in Calcium Phosphate, which is treated with Sulfuric Acid to extract the Phosphates from the Calcium Flouride?

Your comment: I found this on Earthclinic today and found it interesting:

Reading the Wheatgrass Book from Ann Wigmore, I want to share with you this incredible discovery :

Page 62
Chapter " ARE YOU PROTECTED FROM THE HAZARDS OF MODERN LIVING? "

"A few years ago, I ( Ann Wigmore ) asked Dr. GH Earp Thomas of the Bloomfield Laboratories in High Bridge, New Jersey, to do an experiment for me. He placed a small amount of wheatgrass juice in a jar of regular tap water and he tested it for fluoride and other chemicals present in the water...

Both of us were surprised by the results!

He concluded, "Fluorine rapidly combines with calcium phosphate and other kinetic elements to lose its toxic properties, and harden teeth and bones. that is why fresh grass would act as a catalyst to speedily change the acid fluorine into a beneficial component with a positive reaction...

By using wheatgrass, which is comparatively rich in calcium phosphate, it would remove any free fluoric acid and change its negative charge to an alkaline calcium phosphate fluoride combination with a positive reaction"

I was amazed (Ann Wingmore )

not only did wheatgrass neutralize the toxic effect of fluorine but it converted it into an ally in maintaining healthy bones and teeth! I don't recommend that you drink tap water, though; pure spring or purified water taste better and is much better for you. But if you cannot obtain spring or purified water, pour a little wheatgrass juice into regular tap water, and it will make it more healthful..."

Answer by Moreless: The above may be quite misleading, for we are talking about Flouride and Flourine which are two different Beasts and Flouric Acid, which is another Beast? Flourine is the Gas form of Flouride and will react rapidly with many different elements !

Just the process of putting water that has flouride in it and letting this water set out for the Air to react with the Flourine Gases slowly given off. may Remove much of the Fluorides in the water over time?

This is the same for Chlorides and their counterpart of Chlorine Gas !

Flouride may be found bound with Calcium as (CaF2) Flourite.

Thus if one has Flourine or Flouride and reacts this with Calcium, would it seem strange that it may again form Calcium Flouride?

What about reacting it with magnesium, could it also form Magnesium Flouride?

Now as to the idea of wheatgrass juice, could this be more of a Sales pitch to Sell her book?

For the wheatgrass juice will vary according to the original Quality of the wheat berries as to how much Calcium and Magnesium it may contain?

For those whom have drinking water that has chlorides and Flourides added, it may help to Reduce these by drawing ones water out on an open jar and letting it sit exposed to the Air til use at a later time, to aide in the Removal of the Flourine Gas and Chlorine Gas that may release as it is exposed to the Air?

Just try this some time and see the Difference in Taste between Fresh Tap water that has these added and Tap Water like this that has been allowed to sit out exposed to the Air for a time before drinking !

Then if we have enough Calcium and Magnesium, these may help Balance against any remaining residues?

Of course it would be Best to avoid drinking water that has Chlorides and Flourides added in the 1st place ! End .

I know Refreshed commented that calcium removes fluoride in another thread so this kind of makes sense. Is the calcium hydroxide/kelp/bsm basically doing what this wheatgrass is doing in this experiment?

Striveon:)
