Fluorosis is a non-curable disease and fluoride a deadly chemical. So far, scientists claimed that the north-eastern region was safe from fluoride. The children, ranging in age from 15 months to 14 years, contracted skeletal fluorosis, a disease which causes deformities of the bones, according to medical sources. The children suffer symptoms ranging from stiffness of the joints, arthritic-like symptoms and chronic joint pain, to calcification of the vertebral column, crippling spine and joint deformities, muscle wasting, and neurological defects. According to Dr. Moussa Koini, who has written a medical dissertation on the topic, the disease is caused by drinking water containing too much fluoride.
Skeletal fluorosis is a very disabling disease.
Neither one of them can even go to the toilet by himself. I'm afraid to drink water from any source, even well water. Although it disables both boys and girls, the disease is even worse for girls as it can have grave consequences for childbearing. Dr. Koini explained that ''if there are outgrowths around the pelvic area, girls can have difficulty giving birth and may have to have Caesarian sections because of an inability to deliver vaginally,'' he stated. Absorption of extremely high levels of fluoride damages the bones, say medical experts.
