interesting but confusing read. I look at this chart and it tells me that the thing represented in the chart is 40% efficient when the dose is 4mg's per Litre (14-15mg's per gallon). It removes 40%. So it removes 1.6mg's of the 4mg's per litre. It is 60% efficient at ~5mg's per litre, removing 3 of those milligrams. It is 95% efficent at 10mg's, removing 9.5mg's per litre and from there its 95% at all dosages upto 20mg's per litre.

So basically it is more efficient the bigger the dosage. This is useful up to a point. I'm not sure our dosage measure. Either 4ppm or 4mg's/litre. So that could be good. Down to 1.6mg's. Even at 20mg's it maxes out at 2mg's left.

I completely don't understand what is said here.

Unfortunately, there are some limitations to the use of MIAA in removing fluoride (http://www.theglobalistreport.com/category/alternative-health/fight-against-fluoride/) from drinking water. The greatest challenge in the use of MIAA for removing fluoride from drinking water is filtering MIAA once all fluoride has been absorbed.

Am I trading fluorosis for Alhzheimers?

What that means is when the filter media is fully saturated with fluoride it can no longer remove any more... need to change the filter media.

Been reading a bit in regards to fluoride since we are now on municipal water. The fed limit is .8-1.2 and we are at 1.2. Carbon block filters will catch almost everything except fluoride, arsenic, heavy metals and radioactive isotopes. For that we need a activated alumina filter but that can only deliver 1/4 gallon per minute or the fluoride passes right through and will filter much less if the PH is above .6. They also mention a 'bone char' filter that removes about 40% of the fluoride but we haven't been able to find cartridges for standard housings. So far we only have the jumbo 4.5 x 20 inch carbon block filter which I need to bolt to the wall so I can tolerate the high level of chlorine (1.5 ppm with my pool tester) and other crap in the water. Smells real strong just washing dishes... not a good thing in itself.

Odd thing is you end up with less Fluoride in the water if you have more in the water when you start. Example at 5 mg Fluride, at 70% efficiency, you end up with 1.5 mg/litre. But at 10mg per litre, you end up with only 0.5 mg of Fluoride per litre because the efficiency is 95%. It does feel oddly counterproductive if you have to add Flouride, to be able to Filtre it out to a higher purity. But that is what those charts claim...

If they can't provide a logical answer to this obvious paradox, then I would assume that the results are forged...

I discovered a new technique too.

Don't put fluoride into the water system to begin with.

the forest, but for the trees.

yes ,my thoughts exactly....proven to be 100% effective

can you make coffee with beer ?

that might be a way around the fluoride trap. :)

Depends if the beer was made with fluoridated water.
