FLUORIDE  

 

The fluoride chemical added to water is an

 unprocessed, industrial waste-product from the

pollution scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer industry.

What is it?

Dental fluorosis ("Mottled teeth")

Since artificial fluoridation was first implemented in 1945,
fluorosis rates in children have become pandemic

If fluoridation is such a wonderful thing,
why is there a Poison Control warning on fluoride toothpastes?

__________

"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs.
Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a
long range basis.
Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."
- Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association.

"The American Medical Association is NOT prepared to state that no harm will be done to any person by water fluoridation. The AMA has not carried out any research work, either long-term or short-term, regarding the possibility of any side effects." - Dr. Flanagan, Assistant Director of Environmental Health, American Medical Association. [letter]

"I would advise against fluoridation.. Side-effects cannot be excluded .. In
Sweden, the emphasis nowadays is to keep the environment as clean as possible with regard to pharmacologically active and, thus, potentially toxic substances."
- Dr. Arvid Carlsson, co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000)

"Water contains a number of substances that are undesirable, and fluorides are just one of them" stated Dr. F. A. Bull, State Dental Director of Wisconsin, speaking at the Fourth Annual Conference of State Dental Directors.

Fluoridation is UNNECESSARY because:
 
1) Children can have perfectly good teeth without being exposed to fluoride.
 
2) The promoters (CDC, 1999, 2001) admit that the benefits are topical not systemic, so fluoridated toothpaste, which is universally available, is a more rational approach to delivering fluoride to the target organ (teeth) while minimizing exposure to the rest of the body.
 
3) The vast majority of western Europe has rejected water fluoridation, but has been equally successful as the US, if not more so, in tackling tooth decay.
 
4) If fluoride was necessary for strong teeth one would expect to find it in breast milk, but the level there is 0.01 ppm , which is 100 times LESS than in fluoridated tap water (IOM, 1997).
 
5) Children in non-fluoridated communities are already getting the so-called "optimal" doses from other sources (Heller et al, 1997). In fact, many are already being over-exposed to fluoride.
 
Fluoridation is INEFFECTIVE because:
 
1) Major dental researchers concede that fluoride's benefits are topical not systemic (Fejerskov 1981; Carlos 1983; CDC 1999, 2001; Limeback 1999; Locker 1999; Featherstone 2000).
 
2) Major dental researchers also concede that fluoride is ineffective at preventing pit and fissure tooth decay, which is 85% of the tooth decay experienced by children (JADA 1984; Gray 1987; White 1993; Pinkham 1999).
 
3) Several studies indicate that dental decay is coming down just as fast, if not faster, in non-fluoridated industrialized countries as fluoridated ones (Diesendorf, 1986; Colquhoun, 1994; World Health Organization, Online).
 
4) The largest survey conducted in the US showed only a minute difference in tooth decay between children who had lived all their lives in fluoridated compared to non-fluoridated communities. The difference was not clinically significant nor shown to be statistically significant (Brunelle & Carlos, 1990).
 
5) The worst tooth decay in the United States occurs in the poor neighborhoods of our largest cities, the vast majority of which have been fluoridated for decades.
 
6) When fluoridation has been halted in communities in Finland, former East Germany, Cuba and Canada, tooth decay did not go up but continued to go down (Maupome et al, 2001; Kunzel and Fischer, 1997, 2000; Kunzel et al, 2000 and Seppa et al, 2000).
 
Fluoridation is UNSAFE because:
 
1) It accumulates in our bones and makes them more brittle and prone to fracture. The weight of evidence from animal studies, clinical studies and epidemiological studies on this is overwhelming. Lifetime exposure to fluoride will contribute to higher rates of hip fracture in the elderly. (See studies)
 
2) It accumulates in our pineal gland, possibly lowering the production of melatonin a very important regulatory hormone (Luke, 1997, 2001).
 
3) It damages the enamel (dental fluorosis) of a high percentage of children. Between 30 and 50% of children have dental fluorosis on at least two teeth in optimally fluoridated communities (Heller et al, 1997 and McDonagh et al, 2000).
 
4) There are serious, but yet unproven, concerns about a connection between fluoridation and osteosarcoma in young men (Cohn, 1992), as well as fluoridation and the current epidemics of both arthritis and hypothyroidism.
 
5) In animal studies, fluoride at 1 ppm in drinking water increases the uptake of aluminum into the brain (Varner et al, 1998).
 
6) Counties with 3 ppm or more of fluoride in their water have lower fertility rates (Freni, 1994).
 
7) In human studies the fluoridating agents most commonly used in the US not only increase the uptake of lead into children's blood (Masters and Coplan, 1999, 2000) but are also associated with an increase in violent behavior.
 
8) The margin of safety between the so-called therapeutic benefit of reducing dental decay and many of these end points is either nonexistent or precariously low.
 
Fluoridation is INEQUITABLE, because:
 
1) It will go to all households, and the poor cannot afford to avoid it, if they want to, because they will not be able to purchase bottled water or expensive removal equipment.
 
2) The poor are more likely to suffer poor nutrition which is known to make children more vulnerable to fluoride's toxic effects (Massler & Schour 1952; Marier & Rose 1977; ATSDR 1993; Teotia et al, 1998).
 
3) Very rarely, if ever, do governments offer to pay the costs of those who are unfortunate enough to get dental fluorosis severe enough to require expensive treatment.
 
Fluoridation is INEFFICIENT and NOT COST-EFFECTIVE because:
 
1) Only a small fraction of the water fluoridated actually reaches the target. Most of it ends up being used to wash the dishes, to flush the toilet or to water our lawns and gardens.
 
2) It would be totally cost-prohibitive to use pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride (the substance which has been tested) as a fluoridating agent for the public water supply. Water fluoridation is artificially cheap because, unknown to most people, the fluoridating agent is an unpurified hazardous waste product from the phosphate fertilizer industry.
 
3) If it was deemed appropriate to swallow fluoride (even though its major benefits are topical not systemic) a safer and more cost-effective approach would be to provide fluoridated bottle water in supermarkets free of charge. This approach would allow both the quality and the dose to be controlled. Moreover, it would not force it on people who don't want it.
 
Fluoridation is UNSCIENTIFICALLY PROMOTED. For example:
 
1) In 1950, the US Public Health Service enthusiastically endorsed fluoridation before one single trial had been completed.
 
2) Even though we are getting many more sources of fluoride today than we were in 1945, the so called "optimal concentration" of 1 ppm has remained unchanged.
 
3) The US Public health Service has never felt obliged to monitor the fluoride levels in our bones even though they have known for years that 50% of the fluoride we swallow each day accumulates there.
 
4) Officials that promote fluoridation never check to see what the levels of dental fluorosis are in the communities before they fluoridate, even though they know that this level indicates whether children are being overdosed or not.
 
5) No US agency has yet to respond to Luke's finding that fluoride accumulates in the human pineal gland, even though her finding was published in 1994 (abstract), 1997 (Ph. D. thesis), 1998 (paper presented at conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research), and 2001 (published in Caries Research).
 
6) The CDC's 1999, 2001 reports advocating fluoridation were both six years out of date in the research they cited on health concerns.

Watch The

 Fluoride Deception = Poison in Your Water

 

"'The Fluoride Deception' reads like a whodunit. There are conspiracies, cover-ups, human casualties, and broken careers. The prime suspects in this toxic thriller are compounds of fluoride; the coconspirators represent industry, the military, and the public health community. At the book's ending, the suspect chemicals are not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but we are left with compelling evidence that powerful interests with high financial stakes have colluded to prematurely close honest discussion and investigation into fluoride toxicity." - CHEMICAL & ENGINEERING NEWS, "Is Fluoride Really All that Safe?", August 16, 2004.

Watch The Fluoride Pollution

 

 

Sodium fluoride, a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of aluminum, is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, and military nerve gas. It's historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of, until some aluminum industries with an overabundance of the stuff sold the public on the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of buying it at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our water supplies, and then DRINKING it. Yes, a 20,000% markup: Fluoride-- intended only for human consumption by people under 14 years of age--is injected into our drinking water supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm).

 

Independent scientific evidence repeatedly showing up over the past 50 years reveals that fluoride allegedly shortens our life span, promotes cancer and various mental disturbances, accelerates osteoporosis and broken hips in old folks, and makes us stupid, docile, and subservient, all in one package. There are reports of aluminum in the brain possibly being a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease, and evidence points towards fluoride's strong affinity for aluminum and also its ability to "trick" the blood-brain barrier by looking like the hydrogen ion, and thus allowing chemical access to brain tissue.

 

The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany's Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph Borkin.)

The following letter was received by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954, from Mr. Charles Perkins, a chemist:

"I have your letter of September 29 asking for further documentation regarding a statement made in my book, The Truth About Water Fluoridation, to the effect that the idea of water fluoridation was brought to England from Russia by the Russian Communist Kreminoff. "In the 1930's, Hitler and the German Nazi's envisioned a world to be dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population by water medication that would produce sterility in women, and so on. In this scheme of mass-control, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place. ...

"Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. [A convenient light lobotomy]

"The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children's teeth. If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could be done that are much easier, cheaper, and far more effective. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty.

"When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go into Poland, both the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to communize the world. ...

"I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great IG Farben chemical industries and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years' research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine--any person who drinks artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person mentally or physically." CHARLES E. PERKINS, Chemist, 2 October 1954.

No fluoride advocate ever discusses how much fluoride is already being consumed in the food and beverages we drink. If they did, the truth would be known that we already consume excessive amounts of fluoride from our diets. The need for water fluoridation would be unnecessary.

 

 

Fluoride Fallacy
What you are about to read may shock, dismay and outrage. It may undermine fundamental beliefs about government, society and democracy. Your mind may even recoil in sheer disbelief. But rest assured, the facts are well documented and can be easily verified.

Toxic Secrets: Fluoride and the A-Bomb Program

During the ultra-secret Manhattan Project, a report was commissioned to assess the effect of fluoride on humans. That report was classified "secret" for reasons of "national security".

FluorideSome 50 years after United States authorities began adding fluoride to public water supplies to reduce cavities in children's teeth, recently discovered declassified government documents are shedding new light on the roots of that still-controversial public health measure, revealing a surprising connection between the use of fluoride and the dawning of the nuclear age.

Today, two-thirds of US public drinking water is fluoridated. Many municipalities still resist the practice, disbelieving the government's assurances of safety.

 

Fluoridation - Mind Control of the Masses

Despite damning evidence on fluoride toxicity, bureaucracies and multinationals continue to pollute our drinking water and mess with our physical and mental health.

 

The Great Fluoride Scam

I was a child when fluoride, a by-produce from the manufacture of atomic bombs, was first introduced to the American people.

Nobody told us where fluoride came from. All we knew is that it was a newly discovered chemical that would make our teeth extra hard and ward off cavities. When a free fluoride clinic was set up one summer in our school, all the kids in town lined up to have the bitter tasting stuff rubbed on their teeth.

 

 The Toxic Effects of Fluoride

Fluoride IS a poison! The 1984 issue of Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products lists fluoride as more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. It has been used as a pesticide for mice, rats and other small pests. A 10# infant could be killed by 1/100 of an ounce and a 100# adult could be killed by 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride. The Akron Regional Poison Center indicates that a 7 ounce tube of toothpaste contains 199 mg. of fluoride, more than enough to kill a 25# child.

 

FLUORIDATION: A 50 YEAR OLD BLUNDER AND COVER-UP

Seven reasons why water fluoridation is a dangerous health hazard.

It happens because special interests have manipulated science.

DOE's Fluoride Health Cover-up:
Oak Ridge covers up discoveries in health, religion, and environment. In Biblical terms this is the turning to stone linked illness process. Click here for an in depth technical explantion for the health effects that Oak Ridge managers covered up and refuse to recognize, so as not to reveil a huge health problem. Oak Ridge managers claim all is well and there are no problems in Oak Ridge, when there are massive problems with worker health and community health. The cover up links to the mechanisms for CFS, MCS, and even HIV. Oak Ridge covers up these health effects due to the massive liabilities their managers have caused. Problems that are so severe that they can be termed crimes against humanity for those that have intentionally acted to cover up and conceil this mechanism.

FDA Warning:Fluoride Toothpaste Poisons Little Children

The Food and Drug Administration has sent down a ruling. It requires that on all fluoride toothpastes manufactured after April 1997, a printed admonition must appear on the fluoridated toothpaste package reading: "Warning: Keep out of the reach of children under six years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control center immediately."

 

Fluoride: A Caustic Issue
This danger is further complicated by the fact that many common foods (such as popular soft drinks) already contain fluoride. Thus, people living in fluoridated areas who choose to consume such foods will most likely take in far more fluoride than the amount deemed safe by scientific estimates. When common breakfast cereals can contain as much as 10.0 ppm, it is easy to see how quickly the average person can “overdose” on fluoride.

THE 'FLUORINE CONSPIRACY,' as it relates to DOE. These are selected excerpts from a book called 'The Secret War and The Fluoride Conspiracy.' It tells of how interdependent many industries are on fluorine chemistry and especially the uranium industry. It also gives a good picture of how affected workers and communities around these plants are affected and sickened by these fluoride releases, and just how toxic and cumulative they really are.

The History of Fluorine, Fluoride and Fluoridation  

In the 19th century,  research on fluoride and its occurrence in teeth and bones was carried out by physicians and chemists in Europe while the dental profession was still not organized as we know it today. This is in contradiction to claims that dental research was neglected as long as it was still in the hands of physicians

 

Fluoride Teeth And The Bomb

Since the days of World War II, when this nation prevailed by building the world's first atomic bomb, U.S. public health leaders have maintained that low doses of fluoride are safe for people, and good for children's teeth.

That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of hundreds of once secret WWII documents obtained by Griffiths and Bryson - including declassified papers of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. military group that built the atomic bomb.

 

Sources of Fluoride

"Virtually all authors have noted that some children could ingest more fluoride from dentrifice alone than is recommended as a total daily fluoride ingestion."

The Absurdities of Water Fluoridation

Water fluoridation is a peculiarly American phenomenon. It started at a time when Asbestos lined our pipes, lead was added to gasoline, PCBs filled our transformers and DDT was deemed so "safe and effective" that officials felt no qualms spraying kids in school classrooms and seated at picnic tables. One by one all these chemicals have been banned, but fluoridation remains untouched.

 

McFluoride

Serious scientists, who look, find fluoride in the darnedest places. Researchers from the University of Indiana School of Dentistry report in the scientific journal “Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology” that McDonald’s French fries deliver more than guilty pleasure.

Your teeth bite into 0.13 milligrams fluoride along with that small portion of McDonald’s fries that goes upward to 0.38 mg in the supersize.

 

Infant Foods and Fluoride

Fluoridated water used in infant food preparation greatly increases a child's risk of developing dental fluorosis without any chance of reducing tooth decay.

     Fluoride, when absorbed or swallowed into the body, seeps into unerupted teeth from the bloodstream replacing natural tooth minerals leaving a white, more porous, spot on the outer enamel that may eventually turn yellow, brown or black. It’s not removable. Only cosmetic dentistry, not usually covered by insurance, can conceal it. If baby teeth get fluorosed, chances are the permanent teeth will also.

Fear of Fluoride

Have you read the fine print on your toothpaste tube recently? Check it out. If your toothpaste contains fluoride -- which nearly every brand in the United States does -- there's a consumer advisory message that might surprise and alarm you, especially if you're the parent of young children.

 

Fluoride Info Black Out in the US

Dr Waldbott's article also reveals how many practising clinicians feel they need to advise patients not to disclose their diagnosis and their recommendation to avoid fluoridated water - for fear of action against them by their colleagues. Again, we see Dr Waldbott's undaunted courage and conviction in seeking to alleviate the misery and suffering of those who experienced severe health problems due to drinking fluoridated water or exposure to fluoride dust and fumes in industrial environments.

I look forward to the day when adding fluoride to drinking water will be recognized for the harm it causes and will therefore be considered a criminal offense. Sometime soon, I hope, fluoridation will be banned on the basis of such pioneering research as by Dr Waldbott, his colleagues, friends, and associates around the world, whom he inspired and encouraged to continue and expand their investigations on the effects of fluoride on the human body.

 

Fluoride: A Bad Idea Whose Time Has Passed

     Drs. Richard and Karilee Shames on the Thyroid/Fluoride Linkage

Fluoride Does Not Help Teeth!

Another By-Product of Fluoride;Deadly Greenhouse Gas - SF6

The discovery was made that six parts of fluoride, combined with one part sulfur creates a gas known as SF6, which is being used to build "air cushioned" shoes, compressed canisters for blowing up automobile tires.

too much fluoride, your teeth can become discolored and crumble

Media representations of the fluoride debators are difficult to locate; a notable one is Stanley Kubrick's film Dr. Strangelove: a crazed american General Jack D. Ripper is an anti-fluoridation freak and his basis for opposition is intimately tied to his manhood and his commie paranoia.

From "Dr. Strangelove Or: How I learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb,"

Back in Ripper's office with gunfire sounding in the background, General Ripper puts a comforting arm around a worried Mandrake's shoulder, revealing his completely paranoidal, psycho-sexual, psychotic lunacy:

jack t. ripper with cigar "On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason...Water is the source of all life. Seven tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, you realize that seventy percent of you is water...And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids... (Mandrake chuckles nervously) Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure grain alcohol?...Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation? Fluoridation of water?... fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face."
 

- Tim Dirks, transcription, Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove

Parents of Fluoride Poisoned Children

Perhaps more accurately, it is a website informing on fluoride toxicity.

   It is mainly about fluoride poisoning occurring in our children - from any and all sources - be it soy products, toothpaste or other oral dental products, fluoride tablets, tea, air pollution, vaccine contamination, groundwater pollution, household products, contaminated beverages and food products,  fluoridated salt or milk, anesthetics, mattresses emitting fluoride gases, Scotchgard, Teflon, antibiotics, as well as the fluoridation of public water supplies.

   Fluoride the Aging Factor: How to Recognize and Avoid the  Devastating Effects of Fluoride - John, Dr. Yiamouyiannis
 

  

 Dr Hans Moulenburgh 's terrific book Fluoride, the Freedom Fight relates the history of what happened in one European country, Holland, when a small band of objectors took on the might of governmental bureaucracy over the subject of fluoridation of water supplies. It tells the story of how Dr Moolenburgh noticed how disease patterns changed after some of his patients were fluoridated and how he conducted the first (and so far, only) clinical double blind trial which proved that fluoride was harming them. It was as a direct result of this that fluoridation was banned in the Netherlands.
