The Devil’s Poison by Dr. Dean Murphy is one of the best books that I have read about fluoride.
Dr. Murphy makes an excellent case that we are getting too much fluoride from a variety of sources including food, drink, medications, and toothpaste.
He also presents a damning case against water fluoridation, pointing out that fluoride accumulates in both the bones and soft tissues of our bodies, and that zero studies have proven that water fluoridation significantly reduces cavities.
Dr. Murphy believes that many chronic diseases — from thyroid disorders, depression and even bone diseases such as osteoporosis — can be related to excess fluoride.
After reading this book, I have been in contact with Dr. Murphy. He has taught me much about fluoride and how to properly test for it.
I highly recommend The Devil’s Poison to anyone interested in the fluoride controversy and to all who are interested in learning how to avoid exposure to fluoride.
