The chemical cousin of chlorine is the halogen molecule fluorine, a widely distributed trace mineral of the Earth. But naturally occuring fluorine is a far cry from artificial fluoride, medicated into municipal drinking water of half the American population.
There are cities and communities that choose to fluoridate their water supply, for the usually stated reasonof reducing dental caries. Proponents of fluoridation point to a 50% reduction in children's cavities in the United States cities that artificially fluoridate. But have these communities known the real facts when deciding whether or not to fluoridate? In the nonfluoridates cities across the United States there has been an equal reduction in children's cavities! On August 1st, 1998, the prestigious and authoritative trade journal Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN), the official weekly news organ of the 130,000-member American Chemical Society, reevaluated and reopened the entire debate on artificial fluoridation of public water supplies. It was an in-depth, balanced, and far-ranging examination of the issues involved. Responding to the C&EN fluoridation report, on August 23rd, 1988, the Christian Science Monitor printed an editorial rely entitled "Fluoridation Politics Makes Bad Science". According to this editorial, "There is growing awareness of one of the lesser-known scientific scandals - the supression in the United States (and sometimes elsewhere) of research questioning fluoridation and persecution of scientists who 'get out of line [emphasis added].'" It like-wise noted, "There is also continuing debate about the morality of imposing medication through the water supply." And, "Politicization of science is a public disgrace, placing propaganda above scientific objectivity." Organized opposition to debate the scientific merits of an idea or concept is more the style of a cult than a profession claiming to be the very standard of objectivity.

Nothing is more essential to protecting our good health than good water. We are physically 70% water. It purifies, nourishes, controls temperature, controls viscosity, and lubricates us. Where there is water, there is LIFE. We consume it every day to live and can survive only a few days without it. Therefore, any issue about adding artificial substances to our most crucial commodity, water, should be the rightful concern of all citizens and scientists.The following are some relevant extracts from the Chemical and Engineering News August 1, 1988 report:

Valid basis for growing concern: "Hundreds of papers [have been] published in reputable journals, a ...large bady of evidence of potential hazards." (page 27.)

Dental benifit claims questionable: "Reductions in dental caries are just as great in nonfluoridated as in fluoridated areas." (Page 30.)

Unsightly mottling of teeth: "Several studies indicate...that the prevalence of dental fluorisis is rising, particularly at fluoride levels of 1 ppm." (Page 33.)

Early stages of skeletal fluorosis: "Doses as low as 2 to 5 milligrams per day [the amount of two to five liters of one ppm of fluoridated water] can cause the preclinical and early clinical stages." (Page 35.) This is generally unrecognized in the United States because "Most doctors in the US...do not know how to diagnose it." (Page 37.)

Osteoporosis and fluoride treatment: "Well-designed studies have found no evidence of benificial effect [of fluoridation] on osteoporosis." (Page 39.)

Hypersensitivity and side-effect reactions from fluoridated water: "Dutch doctors performed double-blind experiments on patients who became ill after fluoridation began in the Netherlands [now banned]. By using coded bottles of drinking water, some fluoridated and some not, the physicians showed that the symptoms [e.g., muscular weakness, chronic fatigue, excessive thirst, headaches, skin rashes, joint pains, digestive upsets, tingling in extremities, and loss of mental activity] were caused by fluoride, rather than some other factors." (Page 39-40.)

Enzymatic and mutagenic effects: Produced "a transient decrease in human serum enzyme activity associated with teh advent of water fluoridation." (Page 40.) "Tests...show sodium fluoride mutagenic for cultured lymphoma cells." (Page 41.)

Birth defects and cancer: There was "a higher rate of Down's syndrome births among mothers in fluoridated areas." (Page 41.) "After correcting for age, race, and sex, the death rate from cancer of the digestive system was 9% higher with fluoridated water." (Page 42.)

Finally, and most depressing of all, come the C&EN revelations of an ongoing, decade-old organized suppression of scientific papers and research by competent scientists who cast any doubt on the questionable benefits or present possible dangers of medicating public water with artificial fluoride. This stratagem to asphyxiate honest scientific debate, rather than an isolated case relating to this subject, appears to form a consistent pattern of commercial interests elevated above public health since the day Dr. Harvey Wiley was removed from office in 1912. The following quotes from the C&EN report speak of a pseudo-science that defends its established paradigm by casting personal attacks and defamation on those (including peers) presenting differing scientific views rather than discussing, debating, or researching the actual merits of the various scientific findings presented. Resorting to this style of character assassination action would seem to be a virtual admission of standing on scientifically wobbly ground.

"If the lifeblood of science is open debate of evidence, scientific journals are the veins and arteries of the body scientific. Yet journal editors often have refused for political reasons to publish information that raises questions about fluoridation." (Page 36.)

"Dogmatic assertions and attacks on the credibility of the opposition." (Page 28-29.) [In ethical science, no one should be perceived as "opposition" if the aim is to ascertain the truth of the matter. Understandably, differences will arise through interpretation of unbiased research and should be clarified through open and vigorous debate and duplication of experimental results.]

"Ever since the Public Health Service (PHS) endorsed fluoridation in 1950, detractors have charged that PHS and the medical and dental establishment, such as the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Dental Association (ADA), have suppressed adverse scientific information about its effetcs.
"Some of those who generally support fluoridation make similar charges...[an editor of the Academy of General Dentistry wrote that]..."supporters of fluoridation have had an 'unwillingness to release any information that would cast fluoride in a negative light,'" and that organized dentistry has lost "its objectivity - the ability to consider varying viewpoints together with scientific data to reach a sensible conclusion." (Page 36.)

EPA scientist Robert J. Carton stated that the agency "omits 90% of the literature on mutagenicity, most of which suggests fluoride is a mutagen." (Page 36.)

"Most authoritative scientific overwiews of fluoridation have omitted negative information about it, even when the oversight is pointed out." C&EN sites as an example of this a professor of environmental medicine in Denmark, Phillipe Granjean, writing about a WHO study of fluorides stating, "Information which could cast any doubt on the advantage of fluoride supplements was left out by the Task Group. Unless I had been present myself, I would have found it hard to believe." (Page 36.)

"In 1982, John A. Colquhoun, former principal dental officer in the Department of Health in Auckland, New Zealand, was told after writing a report that showed no benifit from fluoridation in New Zealand the department refused him permission to publish it." (Page 36.)

"ADA and PHS also have actively discouraged research into the health risks of fluoridation by attacking the work or the character of the investigators. As part of their political campaign, they have over the years collected information on perceived antifluoridation scientists, leaders, and organizations...It is used not inly in efforts to counteract arguments of the antifluoridationists, but also to discredit the work and objectivity of U.S. scientists whose research suggests possible health risks from fluoridation." (Page 37.)

"Consumer advocate Ralph Nader calls it [false intelligence reports and a smear campaign to personally demean anyone of opposing view] 'an institutionalized witch hunt.'"

The facts and arguments for or against fluoridation, expressed in the C&EN news report, should be read and studied by every concerned person.

Reprints of the C&EN special report are available for five dollars (three dollars for five or more copies) from : C&EN, Distribution, Room 210, 1155-16th St., NW, Washington, DC 20036.
Dr. Royal Lee and the Lee foundation for Nutritional Research were perhaps the first informed and vigorous opponents of fluoridation. Lee called it "an attempt to treat a deficiency disease [dental caries], a case of starvation, with a poisonous drug."

Do you know where fluoride comes from that's put into municipal water? For the most part, fluoride is a highly toxic by-product of aluminum production. The aluminum industry, after mining and processing bauxite, has nowhere to dump all this toxic waste. Fluoride is also a by-product of phosphate fertilizer manufacturing. After some research, they finally concluded that they could make a case for putting it in public drinking water [and toothpastes], got the dentists behind to push it, and before too long, without long-term scientific studies, we had fluoridation of most public water supplies. Although it was once legal, fluordidation is now banned throughout most of Europe and Japan. Of considerable significance in the banning of fluoridation in Denmark, was the public outrage of forced medication of the public water. Interestingly, those same countries are ranked ahead of the United States in national health ratings made by the WHO.
We have come to understand that the body will always use natural before it will try to substitute the counterfeit. Of course, the body must attempt to use what's available; it will do the best it can. People have eaten shoe leather to stay alive. They've eaten rats. But the body doesn't want to do that. It will always take the high-quality choice first.

PostPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 4:58 am    Post subject: More on Fluoride: By David Icke Reply with quote

The Illuminati want fluoride to be added to drinking water because it, too, is a brain and DNA scrambler. For many years it has been established that fluoride inhibits the enzyme, acetylcholinesterase. This is involved in transmitting signals along the nerves. Russian studies, both clinical and physiological, established that patients with dental fluorosis also suffered from disturbed nervous activity and brain dysfunction. Chinese scientists reported in 1995 that flouride lowered the IQ. They compared children aged 8 to 13 who had no fluorosis compared with those who had slight, medium and seroious levels of it. Their findings revealed a 5 to 19 point decrease in IQ score for the children with severe fluorosis compared with those who had none. A second study of children aged 7 to 14 consuming different levels of fluoride confirmed the findings. Fluoride attacks the immune system, our Norton AntiVirus, by diminishing its ability to recognise threats and causing what is called Autoimmune Disease. Cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and scleriosis are just some of the conditions that result from such malfuntion. The effects of fluoride on the thyroid, which also regualtes the metabolism, can cause endless problems throughout the body and a 1955 report in the New England Journal of Medicine showed a 400 per cent increase in cancer of the thyroid in San Francisco during the period its water was fluoridated.

Most people have no idea what is in this stuff and where it comes from. They just accept without questioning that it is good for teeth because this is what they are told to believe. Fluoride is a waste product of the aluminium industry and has been used in rat poison. Now it is in many drinking-water supplies (with plans for continuing expansion) and almost every brand of toothpaste! The claim that flouride protects teeth from decay is nonsense and this lie is demolished in And The Truth Shall Set You Free and in endless other publications and studies (as seen above). Dr Hardy Limeback, head of the Department of Preventative Dentistry for the University of Toronto and president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research, was his country's leading advocate of fluoride. The he woke up to the fact he had been given false data and that 'the vast majority of all fluoride additives come fromTampa Bay, Florida, smokestack scrubbers.' He said that unsuspecting people were being exposed to deadly elements of lead, arsenic and radium, all of them cancer-causing. 'Because of the cumulative properties of toxins, the detrimental effects on human health are catastrophic', he said. A study at the University of Toronto discovered that fluoride was 'altering the basic architecture of human bones'. Limeback also said that Canada was spending more money on treating dental fluorosis than treating cavities. He said that fluoride had been in Torono's drinking water for some 40 years while Vancouver was fluoride free, but that Toronto had more cavities per head than Vancouver. This scam is nothing to do with teeth. It is about its effect on the brain.
The Nazis put fluoride in the water supplies of the concentration camps to mind-suppress the inmates, and destabilising brain function is the motivation behind its wider introduction. Dr Limeback said that he had unintentionally misled people for 15 years because he refused to study toxicology information readily available to anyone. 'Poisoning our children was the furthest thing from my mind,' he said. I admire his honesty, and his words encapsulate why we have a medical profession claiming to know what is safe and good for us when all they are doing is repeating what the system tells them to say and believe.
They are just sitting on a fence, nodding their heads.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
~Albert Einstein

Note: this is my personal opinion. I do not give advice.
A good alternative to tooth paste is baking soda and/or hydrogen peroxide. Note: hydrogen peroxide must not be used if you have metal fillings in your mouth. H202 creates a chemical reaction with metals.

We use fluoride free tooth paste for many years and lately we use only H2O2 and the hygienist who cleans our teeth was very surprised to find our mouths are healthy.
We use mountain spring water for rinsing our mouth or for cooking, never use fluoridated water, it makes us submissive, that’s not what we want. Aspartame, fluoride, soda, meat with hormones (specially pork) they all make you submissive (don’t want to be rude to use another word for submissive but you got the picture).

Energies of people are changing towards health, we've been boosting and put our energies towards health and healing for a long time...good news, great results... rewarding. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Lilly


A statement asking Congress to end water fluoridation in the United States has been released by the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Over 600 professionals, including a Nobel Prize winner, officers in the Union that represents Environmental Protection Agency professionals, and members of the National Research Council panel on fluoride's toxicology, have signed the statement.

The report urges Congressional members to "recognize that fluoridation is outdated, has serious risks that far outweigh any minor benefits, violates sound medical ethics, and denies freedom of choice."

It cites eight recent events that call for an urgent end to water fluoridation. Among them:

A 500-page review of fluoride's toxicology by the National Research Council of the National Academies, published in 2006.
Evidence from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that found 32 percent of U.S. Children have dental fluorosis, which is caused by fluoride. The American Dental Association's 2006 policy change, which recommends not giving fluoridated water to infants for the first 12 months of life.
A Harvard University study that found a five- to seven-fold increased risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer) among young men who were exposed to fluoride between the ages of 6 and 8.
The CDC's recognition that fluoride is beneficial in reducing tooth decay when it's applied topically, not taken systemically.
The statement calls for members of Congress to sponsor a new Congressional Hearing on Fluoridation that requires those who continue to support water fluoridation to provide scientific basis, under oath, for their continued recommendations.

According to one of the statement's signers, Dr. Arvid Carlsson, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Medicine, "Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology. It's really obsolete."

Medical News Today August 10, 2007


Dr Mercola
This is truly excellent news! Slowly but surely, the truth about fluoride has been leaking out, and now it may finally have the chance to sink in and really prompt some major changes.

If you are new to the site, you're probably still under the impression that fluoridated water is a good thing, so this news may come as a surprise. In reality, fluoride is a dangerous poison that does not help to protect your teeth when you ingest it via your drinking water. As even the CDC has admitted, fluoride may help your teeth if it's applied topically, but taking it in systemically does not.

What it DOES do, as this much-needed statement points out, is:

Increase your risk of bone fractures
Decrease your thyroid function
Lower your IQ
Cause arthritic-like conditions and dental fluorosis
Possibly increase your risk of bone cancer
On top of that, the statement reveals that federal agencies have admitted that "the industrial grade waste products used to fluoridate over 90 percent of America's drinking water supplies (fluorosilicate compounds) have never been subjected to toxicological testing or FDA safety-tested approval for human ingestion."

The fact that Americans have been drinking fluoridated water for more than 50 years has really been a giant experiment, at the expense of your health.

You can learn the underlying corruption and abuses of power that have allowed fluoride to be shamelessly promoted in the United States in Christopher Byron's The Fluoride Deception. The publication of this book is one of the eight recent events that's referenced in the statement, simply because it reveals so clearly that industrial interests were behind the early promotion of fluoride.

How You Can Avoid Fluoride, and Help to Ban it in Your Water?

If all goes well, this statement should make members of Congress take notice, and may prompt new regulations about fluoridated water.

Until then, you can protect yourself from fluoride by using only non-fluoride toothpaste and not receiving fluoride treatments from your dentist. To remove fluoride from your drinking water, you must use a reverse osmosis filter. Be sure that you're filtering not only the water that you drink, but also the water you use to wash vegetables, make ice cubes, and cook with.

If you're wondering how to keep your teeth healthy, remember that fluoride was never the answer in the first place. Eating right and avoiding processed foods (along with regular cleanings with your natural dentist) will ensure that your teeth stay healthy naturally.

Finally, if you'd like to voice your opinion about ending water fluoridation, the Fluoride Action Network has an online petition that you can sign to call for a Congressional Hearing.
