So I've been spending the last couple hours researching ways to limit and defense against excessive fluoride in my body. I have no idea whether my fluoride markers are high, but I ofter sit in warm baths for 1-2 hours reading on my computer. I can't help thinking I'm exposing myself to excessive fluoride and chlorine absorption but it's hard for me to give these up. I use only non-fluoridated toothpastes and avoid drinking fluoride water and commercial drinks wherever possible.
Anyhow, as a religious ginkgo biloba user, I thought I would Google "ginkgo biloba fluoride" in hopes of finding benefits in fluoride protection. This is what came up:
Protective effect of ascorbic acid and Ginkgo biloba against learning and memory deficits caused by fluoride.
Fluoride is present in the ground water, World Health Organization permitted level of fluoride in the ground water is 0.5 ppm. Tooth pastes, mouth washes, tea and sea fish are the sources of fluoride. Exposure to these multiple sources results in several adverse effects in addition to the fluorosis. The present study aimed to test the effect of vitamin C and Ginkgo biloba against the behavioural deficits caused by fluoride. Rats were divided into five groups with six animals in each group (n = 6). Control group received ordinary tap water with 0.5 ppm of fluoride, the remaining groups received 100 ppm of fluoride for 30 days prior to fluoride exposure. Two groups of animals received 100 mg/kg body weight of vitamin C and G. biloba for 15 days prior to fluoride exposure. After 45 days, behavioural studies (T-Maze, passive avoidance) were conducted on the experimental animals. The results of the present study showed no behavioural deficits in the control group of animals however, the rats that received fluoride water exhibited impairment in their spatial learning and memory deficits. The deficits are not marked in the vitamin C and G. biloba groups. To conclude chronic exposure to high levels of fluoride causes severe impairment in the spatial learning and memory, these deficits can be ameliorated with the vitamin C and G. biloba.

Although this study doesn't mention possbile benefits related to skeletal & pineal gland (where fluoride is known to concentrate), at least brain cognition seems improved. I wonder if anyone can comment on this.
Also, is anyone taking potassium iodine (or other forms), in part, to combat skeletal, pineal gland or cranial fluorosis. I've read some reports of iodine being pro-aging and this is concerning to me. Also, Borax is a known fluoride detoxifier but does it bind to NAD? This would be a disqualifier.
