Please don't misunderstand me, I am absolutely willing to concede that water fluoridation has ethical concerns and that the pineal gland absorbs fluoride and calcium and suffer from calcification (in fac tthis is something I only learnt after you started this thread
).
I'm also willing to concede that decalcifying your pineal gland is probably a healthy practice to try and do.
But there is more being said in these articles than just those points.
If the pineal gland is the "gateway" to the higher self then why and how is it the gateway? It might effect meditation - again I will concede that - but just because it influences meditation doesn't mean the meditation itself is actually doing what one thinks it's doing.
Homeopathy for example absolutely makes people feel better and can even cure them of their illnesses, but that doesn't at all mean that what is being described to happen in homeopathy is actually what takes places when one takes homeopathic medicine.
What is being described is that the diluted water "remembers" the cure placed within it, however what actually happens is equivalent to taking a sugar pill (placebo) and saying it will cure a particular ailment.

If one wants to learn about something, or if something is of interest, then great! Pursue it, learn about it, understand it, let this knowledge help. But at the same time don't make the mistake of elevating one particular piece of knowledge above the others, one needs to think critically, and equally, about everything one thinks one knows. This way one can avoid prejudiced justifications (like racism and homophobia), while also avoiding the reverse side (confirmation bias and logical errors).
Just because an explanation can be written about something does not mean the explanation describes what actually happens.
If fluoridation is used as a form of social control, then explain how it works, what parts of the brain does it effect, and how does it effect them? If you do a certain type of meditation to open your "third eye" then how do you actually know that you are opening this "third eye"? Sure you're doing something, I don't deny that, but are you actually doing what you think you're doing?
There are many reasons behind things in this world, but there are more reasons than fit with observations.
I hope this isn't coming across insulting, this is meant to be critical rather than derogatory, I hope it is addressing only the arguments in this discussion, rather than the discussee.
