Hello - The results I referred to, in my comment, would be as I eliminate as many possible causes, I would let the Mayo Clinic Group know my findings, as I personally experience them. I am dumping the use of plastics in all cooking and storage forms (such as the spatulas, spoons, etc.) and I have ordered a water purifying countertop system from "Berkey Clean Water" to include the add on filters to remove fluoride. I should have have some indication if this is helping my condition, after 4 to 6 months. It may take awhile to get it mostly out of my system. I am doing whatever I can to survive as I continue to get worse.
Get your county water purification reports to see what they say. My county tests after "contaminants" are "removed". The report lists the presence of many still in the water, at various levels, which they consider "safe". This is what they attempt to remove/reduce: (There is also a list of things they do not remove.
A. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
B. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater
runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
C. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff,
and residential uses.
D. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of
industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic
systems.
E. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
