A few years ago I was having some anxiety issues... There I was in my panic state of mind wanting to end it all. Clinging to my crystals, while drinking warm green tea and listening to the sounds of nature mixed with binaural beats for healing. I was sick and tired of life's problems and my marital relationship is still a work in progress. Thankfully I don't need medication for anxiety, just time to reboot, mostly with rest, nutrition and the great outdoors. Just how far down the rabbit-hole are you willing to go for the sake of serenity. Surely all of these chemicals are having an effect on our lives. At one point I had to know if illuminating fluoride would recover some lost part of my brain suppressed by our Government. Perhaps I could regain a new sense of enlightenment, maybe even raise my IQ and feel the tidal waves of the universe energy washing the salty waters into my now enormously burning 3rd eye...
For one year I started using non-fluoride tooth pastes and drinking waters. I tried everything from homemade to quality brands at the local whole food marts. I can't honestly say anything changed with my state of mind or body. But looking back I ask myself now if fluoride was too much of the main focus when there are so many other ingredients. There was a time about a year before my change in toothpastes when I was using one with Potassium Nitrate and I don't recall my T being any worse. Looking back on the non-fluorides, I think it was Spry with the Xylitol, it seems to have fixed the sensitivity issues I was having. I then tried some oil-pulling with coconut oils as well, it's really good for the gums, but I stopped once the sensitivity returned. Unfortunately I still keep a bottle of Listerine around, it just seems to be the only thing that works to kill off random sorts of mouth issues, but it comes loaded with bad list of ingredients that we should all avoid.

Other than the elimination of Fluoride in one toothpaste and the addition of Potassium Nitrate in another. If my T was the same with all 3 brands, what else is a common factor. Glycerin? Could some of these ingredients be the same thing but only with different names? It's all very mind boggling.
