Abstract
Changes in skin electric potential following immune challenge provide a sensitive measure of the intensity of the allergic challenge. In guinea-pigs sensitised to Sodium Fluoride, Fluoridation Mains Tap Water, or Ovalbumen with Sodium Fluoride, and then challenged with one part in one million Sodium Fluoride, significant allergic responses were produced. Ovalbumen alone caused an allergic response only after a second challenge. Purified water did not result in any immune response. It is concluded that Fluoridated Mains Tap Water is capable of causing an allergic response similar to that produced by Sodium Fluoride alone, and that Ovalbumen potentiates the immune response to Sodium Fluoride.

Perioral dermatitis
Since its description in 1957 by Frumess and Lewis (1) as a "light-sensitive seborrheid," perioral dermatitis (PD) has been a perplexing entity. It characteristically presents as a chronic eruption consisting of papules and pustules that develop on irregular areas of erythema and edema. the eruption is most prominent in the

Vulvar Pagets disease: recovery without surgery following change to very low-fluoride spring and well water
A case report of a Caucasian female born in 1927 is presented in which rapid recovery from vulvar extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) without surgical intervention occurred following an abrupt change from fluoridated/chlorinated tap water (0.9- 1.0 mg F–/L) to low-fluoride spring and well water (both <0.1 mg F–/L) for drinking,

Fluoride intoxication from drinking water (a report of 52 cases)
In previous publications, cases of incipient fluorine 1) poisoning from drinking artificially fluoridated water at the 1 ppm concentration were reported. A specific disease pattern could be discerned closely tallying with what has b??n observed in industrial poisoning from fluorine intake at higher levels. There are three groups of symptoms: 1. Those

Perioral dermatitis from high fluoride dentifrice: a case report and review of literature
Perioral dermatitis is a papulopustular eruption, commonly related to the inappropriate application of topical corticosteroids with occasional reports of inhaled corticosteroids and decreased personal hygiene. We present a case of a 45-year-old female with a one-year history of perioral dermatitis related to the use of highly fluoridated toothpaste commenced to

Recurrent benign aphthous stomatitis and fluoride allergy
Many years ago I consulted 2 patients suffering from recurrent aphthous ulceration to establish whether they had a toothpaste allergy. I thus proceeded to do many p-tests on the skin but without any positive results. However, replacement of the toothpaste with a simple soap quickly cured the ulcerations. A third

Prenatal and postnatal ingestion of fluorides - A progress report.
The cases described indicate that certain patients react unfavorably to fluoride therapy. Whether the fluorine acts as an allergen after short term use or whether the fluorine acts as an intoxicant after many months of use, is unknown and should be determined.

Allergy to Fluorides
Rather than simply denying the validity of his reports, it would be to the advantage of all concerned to have them thoroughly analyzed. This could best be done if a small number of unbiased, qualified physicians, agreed upon by both "sides," would independently examine and diagnose several of the patients who are reportedly allergic to fluoride.

Unheeded Warnings: Government Health Authorities Ignore Fluoride Risk for Kidney Patients
Despite the well known fact that individuals with kidney disease are at much higher risk of fluoride toxicity than the general population, there has yet to be any attempt in the United States, or any other country that practices mass-scale water fluoridation to determine the prevalence of fluoride-related effects (e.g.,

Dental Fluorosis & Enamel Hypoplasia in Children with Kidney Disease
Children with kidney disease are known to have high levels of fluoride in their blood and to be at risk for disfiguring tooth defects. Research suggests that high levels of fluoride in blood, which can cause the tooth defect known as dental fluorosis, can contribute to the defects that occur
