President of the Love Word Ministry and founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has warned his followers to stay away from products that contain fluoride while also informing them that it is one of the causes of cancer.
Oyakhilome gave the warning in a viral video during which he was making an address at the church’s March Global Holy Communion service.
Cladded in a priestly attire, Oyakhilome said, “God sent me to save your life. That is why I am bringing this information to you. The next time you buy milk, the next time you find fluoride there, don’t take it. The next time you buy toothpaste, check what it contains. If it contains fluoride, don’t take it. Fluoride is one of the main causes of cancer. If you continue to take it, you are programming yourself to have cancer and many other diseases.”
While noting that sodium flouride is one of the major ingredients in rat poison, he said, “Rat poison kills people too. If it kills rats, it kills human beings. Fluoride is the major ingredient for killing rats. The question is why should they put it in food and drugs? . It is a business. And because it is a business they cannot be in the business of killing their customers. They get you out of one problem and put you in another problem.”
He recalled that “when government was against Television programmes that promoted divine healing it was those in the pharmaceutical industry that pressured government to remove them. That shows the devilish minds behind that industry.”
He stated that he was not against those who produce drugs, adding, however, that in most industries, there are two groups: the one that is helping others and another for one purpose only, to serve their agenda, often a satanic agenda. That is why you have fluoride in several drugs. Fluoride is not there to cure. Why did they put it there, and why should you have it in milk and toothpaste? This is poison in your everyday toothpaste.”
He said the benefits attributed to fluoride are lies while also adding that, “Even though they say it’s in small quantity, why put it there? What is positive about it? Nothing. Their argument is stupid. It is only promoted by those who want the world population brought down, and they give it to you in small quantities, hoping that after a while, you will surely die. So, I warned you about this fluoride. Always check those things you are buying and refuse to take them if they’ve got fluoride.”
A quick research on fluoride indicates that the substance, as noted by Oyakhilome, has potential risks, though it also has some benefits. Here is what Meta A. I says at Flouride:
Fluoride is essential for maintaining good oral health, particularly for preventing tooth decay and strengthening tooth enamel. Here are some key benefits:
Benefits of Fluoride
1. *Prevents Tooth Decay*: Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
2. *Strengthens Tooth Enamel*: Fluoride can reverse the early stages of tooth decay by remineralizing tooth enamel and making it stronger.
3. *Reduces Sensitivity*: Fluoride can help reduce tooth sensitivity by blocking the dentinal tubules in the teeth.
4. *Promotes Healthy Bone Development*: Fluoride is important for bone health, particularly in children and adolescents, as it helps promote healthy bone development.
Sources of Fluoride
1. *Community Water Fluoridation*: Many communities add fluoride to their drinking water to promote oral health.
2. *Toothpaste and Mouthwash*: Many toothpastes and mouthwashes contain fluoride.
3. *Professional Fluoride Treatments*: Dentists can apply fluoride varnishes or gels to teeth to provide extra protection.
Potential Risks
While fluoride is generally safe and effective, excessive consumption can lead to:
1. *Dental Fluorosis*: White or brown spots on teeth due to excessive fluoride consumption during tooth development.
2. *Skeletal Fluorosis*: Weakened bones and joints due to long-term excessive fluoride consumption.
To minimize risks, it’s essential to:
1. Use fluoride-containing products as directed.
2. Avoid swallowing toothpaste or mouthwash.
3. Consult with your dentist or healthcare provider about fluoride supplements.
In conclusion, fluoride is beneficial for oral health when used appropriately and in moderation.
