To most people, fluoride is a totally safe compound and absolutely indespensable for our oral and dental health. But I have some unfortunate news for you..... The so called health benefits of fluoride represents one of the biggest pernicious frauds ever perpetrated by government and big business on an unsuspecting and trusting public. I know this is quite an assertion to make, but before you turn away in exasperration, this is no crackpot conspiracy theory hatched by some disaffected lunatic fringe group. The last few years have seen an increasing number of mainstream authorities, scientists, doctors and health professionals of unpeachable standing,voice their alarm against the enforced fluoridation of our drinking water and the dangers of fluoride. Here is a sample of some of them: On November 24th, 1992, Robert Carlton, PHD,and former US EPA scientist, said: "Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud this century" Dr Phyliss Mullenix, in her 1995 research paper, "Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride in Rats" concluded that fluoride lowers childrens IQ. In 2006, the American Dental Association warned mothers about using fluoridated water to mix their powdered baby formula. Even the Wall Street Journal felt obliged to make it's position clear on this issue. In March 2006, it ran an article reporting on the National Academy Of Science's concern about high levels of fluoride in the nation's drinking water and that the maximum allowed amount should be reduced. In 1996, Dr Michael Schachter of the Schachter Center For Complimentary Medicine, penned an excellent article on the dangers of fluoride and water fluoridation. He wrote: "Prior to 1945,fluoride was properly regarded as an enviromental pollutant. It was responsible for many lawsuits against industries such as the aluminium and phosphate fertilizer industries, whose waste products contain large quantities of fluoride...crops and animals were destroyed, leading to lawsuits. The prevalent public view was that fluoride was a toxin and pollutant that needed to be reduced or eliminated from the enviroment... The article can be read in it's entirety at www.mbschachter.com/dangers_of_fluoride_and_fluoride.htm Paul Connett PHD,in an article titled: "The Absurdities of Water Fluoridation" www.fluoridealert.org/absurdity.htm, borrowed a quote from Dr Peter Mansfield, a member of the UK advisory board on fluoridation..."No physician in his right senses would prescribe for a person he has never met, whose medical history he does not know, a substance which is intended to create bodily change with the advice..take as much as you like, but you will take it for the rest of your life because some children suffer from tooth decay. It is a preposterous notion" A SUMMARY OF THE DANGERS OF FLUORIDE AND FLUORIDATION 1.It is a toxic sedative. It was given to prisoners in Nazi and Russian death camps in the 1940s. It was used to calm them down and make them more maleable. 2.It is an insidous cumulative poison that steadily accumulates in the bones over a period of time. 3.It damages and compromises the immune system. 4.It depresses the ability of the white blood cells to destroy harmful pathogens. 5.It inhibits antibody formation in the blood 6.It disrupts thyroid function 7.It lowers IQ 8.It causes various cancers. 9.It is not even that beneficial for children's teeth! It casues fluorosis in children...ugly white yellow and brown spots on children's teeth THE FLUORIDE MYTH Governments that add fluoride to drinking water supplies continue to insist that it is safe and beneficial. That it is necessary. However, scientific evidence continues to highlight the foolishness and sheer dishonesty of this position. The irony is the FDA in the US acknowledges that fluoride when swallowed poses significant risk to children. It requires all toothpastes carry a poison warning label. And yet, it is perfectly acceptable to put this poison in water supplies! Go figure... The myth that fluoride prevents cavities originated in the US back in 1939 when large producers of fluoride waste were being threatened by fluoride damage claims. Scientists employed by these producers conducted experiments which concluded that fluoride reduced cavities. The next logical step was to suggest adding fluoride to the nations drinking water supplies. In 1947, a lawyer employed by the same producers was placed in charge of the US Public Health Service. The next three years promptly saw 87 new US cities embark on fluoridation of their drinking water. Fluoride research and education in the US was now funded by the aluminium manufacturing, weapons and fertilizer industries. Between them, these industries produce untold tons of toxic fuoride waste. The cost of disposing of these waste products would have been prohibitive. Their control of the Public Health Service and the rather convenient "discovery" that fluoride prevents dental cavities gave them a way out. They had found a use for their waste products. It was just a matter of clever re-education of the public into believing that a compound once viewed as toxic was actually extremely beneficial. Fluoride became the active ingredient in a whole bunch of products like fluorinated pesticides, anesthetics, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste, dental gels and mouth washes. It is now an intergral link in the multi billion dollar chain that is the military, industrial and pharmaceutical complex. Fluoride was a key chemical in the production of the atomic bomb and millions of tons are needed for the production of bomb grade uranium and plutonium. The spin doctor have truly done an outstanding job. With the help of clever manipulation and mass information censorship they have managed to persuade the public that fluoride, a toxic waste product from the manufacture of aluminium, explosives and bomb grade plutonium and uranium was actually a beneficial health product. Half of US drinking water is now fluoridated and the UK seems set to follow it's lead. Her government as per usual happy to be led by the nose by the US. PROTECTION FROM FLUORIDE 1. Avoid fluoridated water. Boiling your water merely serves to concentrate the fluoride content. Only water filters with a reverse osmosis component will remove fluoride. 2.Do not use fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwashes. 3.Do not give your children fluoridated vitamins 4.There are fluoride free toothpastes available, with natural cleaning agents such as baking soda, xylitol together with antiseptic and anti bacterial essential oils.
