Is this saying that fluoride increases CamK II activity?

Thanks.. but a part of me wishes I hadn't asked. My puny brain didn't really get that

 

Should I make the mad leap, from the bit I did get, that monthly flouride treatments might not be a good idea for a kid with raised CaMK levels.. or is that connecting dots that aren't there?

 

thanks....

The reason I looked it up is because my daughter just had a fluoride treatment, and it did seem to make things worse, but she was already going downhill, so I don't know. From the article:

We found that 10-min treatment with NaF produces maximal CaMKII activity, followed by a return to the basal level at 30 min

 

And they were testing in endothelial cells, I think. Maybe some science wise-guy (ehem, Buster) will come along and help!

FYI, dental cleaner used during cleaning also contain flouride, not just the flouride treatment. When we used to go to the conventional dentist, my son would tic more after each cleaning. We have since switched to a holistic dentist and who does not used flouride & mercury and my son is fine after dental cleaning.

just an FYI that many kids with neuro probs seem to have extreme sensitivity to fluoride

 

my son got very ill whenever the dentist did the fluoride stuff and this was way before we even knew he had neuro problems

 

I learned later about fluoride triggering some kids

What would this mean in terms of water with flouride in it? We don't have flouride in our water, but the water at dd's school is public water, which does contain flouride.

 

Also, in terms of flouride at the dentist. The kids don't actually swallow that, so would that really pose a big risk?

one doesnt need to swallow the fluoride (or anything else in your mouth) for the transdermal absorption to take place and have a negative effect if one is sensitive to it.
