A plant called Tulsi, or Holy Basil, which grows all over India might just be another answer to defluoridating water
in poor countries all over the world. Research scientists at Rajasthan University have discovered that Tulsi can
replace some of the more expensive alternatives to fluoride removal.

The process is so simple, its downright exciting.

Tulsi (Holy Basil) Found to Cleanse Water of Fluoride

The researchers conducted the experiment in a village of Narketpally Mandal by soaking 75 mg of Holy Basil
leaves in 100ml of water that had over 7 parts per million of fluoride.

After soaking the leaves in the water for a mere 8 hours, the fluoride was reduced to just 1.1 parts per million.
The World Health Organization says that safe levels of fluoride in water are no higher than 1 part per million.

With the recent admittance by Harvard University that fluoride was bad for health, and the continuing news that
points to fluoride being responsible for depleting brain capacity to causing ADD and ADHD, or even calcifying the
pineal gland, (which inhibits important hormonal secretions like Melatonin and Seratonin, and DMT), it is
wonderful news that such a simple remedy has been found.

A Few Dangers of Fluoride

As mentioned, fluoride has been linked to numerous health consequences, and for good reason: its toxic.

A Harvard study explains:

The children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than

those who lived in low fluoride areas.

The EPA had similar statements, demonstrating how fluoride displays evidence of
developmental neurotoxicity and can damage unborn babies.

Fluoride readily crosses the placenta. Fluoride exposure to the

developing brain, which is much more susceptible to injury caused by
toxicants than is the mature brain, may possibly lead to damage of a
permanent nature.

One paper entitled Fluoride - A Modern Toxic Waste says the following: Yiamouyiannis
documents research showing that fluoride increases the [cancer] tumor growth rate by 25%
at only 1 ppm, produces melanotic tumors, transforms normal cells into cancer cells and
increases the carcinogenesis of other chemicals. For the original references to these
studies, refer to Yiamouyiannis pamphlet, Lifesavers Guide to Fluoridation.

It was shown in 1977 that water fluoridation sparked nearly 10,000 cancer deaths in
epidemiological studies by Dr. Dean Burk, former head of the Cytochemistry Section at the
National Cancer Institute and Yiamouyiannis (information from the above document).

For poor countries, the use of tulsi for cleansing water of fluoride is ideal, but also for the civilized nations that
put fluoride in the drinking water to begin with.

Maybe we can skip the over-priced water filters and use nature instead.

Now, if we can just figure out how to remove the chlorine, pesticides and other toxic residues, with a plant, we
would be golden. Options aside from purchasing a reverse osmosis system would be as beneficial as Tulsi
leaves, since even houseplants tend to grow better on water without chlorine in them, and fish definitely dont like
the chemical.

If Tulsi leaves do the trick on fluoride, there is bound to be another plant in natures cornucopia that can help with
other toxins.

Until then, check these other ways to remove fluoride from your body and some other holy basil benefits.
