Can't say I am particularly fond of the epsom salt (used for flushes) drinks either , yuck. It serves a purpose and take it when doing the flushes .The thought of having MMS added to my drinking water would make me dehydrate as I wouldn't be able to handle the smell and not drink water at all.
If the magnesium oxide property of prill beads enhances the fluoride reduction then it will be prill beads for me if I had to take care of fluoride.
I filter my water (Berkley unit, includes fluoride filters), and this filter has a water jar energizer near the faucet ( http://www.biomagscience.net scroll down the page).
This water I pour into the 5 liter glass jar which has the prill beads at the bottom. If there is any fluoride in the filtered water (it's believed that most but not all fluoride is removed with the filters), then the prill beads may well take care of the remaining fluoride.
Wished I had money to burn. I would make samples of all the different water and have it tested. It is all good and well to be skeptical and debunk but the debunking sounds as flimsy as the word 'magical' in the one excerpt I provided.Testing things for self would be more productive.
A few things I have noticed: I filled the dogs's drinking bowls with the water straight from the Berkey filter, and they loved that over tap water . Now they get a mixture of the filtered water and I often add prill water to it. It is either making them thirstier or they just love it even better, lapping it up.
For myself, drinking water in Summer is not a big problem but I used to have the greatest of difficulty drinking enough water in Winter. Why that was I have no idea but even 1 glass would just stick in my throat.
Now with the prill water, I don't seem to have any problems whatsoever drinking water in Winter.
If and when it is proven beyond doubt that prill beads will take care of fluoride then many people will be able to have good water without having to cough up the money for expensive filter units and replacement of filters on a regular basis, a costly exercise.
I keep searching for more reports and/or research results.

Dan,
Magnesium may be what you are looking for. It appears that if you add a
small amount of a soluble magnesium to water and agitate, it will form
an insoluble compound with the fluoride and greatly reduce the
bioavailability of the fluoride. I didn't mention this possibility
before because I kept seeing conflicting information in the studies. But
I think that given the study I posted below, that magnesium is a good
approach to use with drinking water.

There may be some substance to Prill beads reducing the absorption of
fluoride by forming an insoluble complex with the fluoride. But the
science isn't completely understood. See below.

Influence of Dietary Magnesium on Fluoride Bioavailability in the Rat
http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/117/3/496.pdf
"Several observations suggest that the magnesium content of a diet may
influence food fluoride absorption. Magnesium and fluoride, for example,
form an insoluble complex in vitro (6). Simultaneous administration of
magnesium and fluoride by gastric intubation has been shown to
significantly reduce skeletal
uptake of fluoride by growing rats (7, 8), which may explain why high
dietary magnesium appears to ameliorate fluorosis in guinea pigs (9). On
the other hand, Spencer et al. (10) were unable to demonstrate a
significant effect of orally administered magnesium oxide on either
fecal or urinary fluoride excretion in human volunteers. Factors that
may account for this apparent discrepancy between animal and human
studies include the age of the test subject, level and chemical form of
magnesium and route of administration of fluoride and magnesium. In the
human study, for example, subjects were adults, whereas studies of the
magnesium and fluoride relationship in rats occurred during a period of
rapid growth. Animal studies involving gastric intubation utilized
water-soluble magnesium chloride and the magnesium and fluoride were
administered together, whereas in the human study magnesium was
insoluble magnesium oxide and the magnesium and fluoride were not
simultaneously present in the diet."

Thanks for this Steve. I will read up on it.
