Great info, Wasabi, thanks for posting.

I'd just assumed that the F directly interfered with the muscle enzymes, as well as with the hormones that facilitate anabolic processes. But your analysis of the fibro/exertional injury/fluoride connection is unequal to anything I've seen in past, and I think, deserving of merit & investigation.

Do you have any additional suggestions for "the way out" of this, other than avoidance of F & supplementation w/mag & boron? Do you have experience with animals & rhabdo -- & if so, what else is recommended.

I'm not sure how to handle the F in shower/bath water, other than brief showers, tepid water. Sponge baths with hauled R/O water? -- doesn't really appeal.

Best wishes.
