Fluoride, fluorosis, tooth decay, and water poisoning

FLUORIDE FACTS

Fluoride is the active ingredient in Prozac and many other tranquilizers and deadly nerve gas (Sarin). The first places ever fluoridated were Nazi concentration camps in WWII to control prisoner behavior.

The American Academy of Pediatric dentistry has no proof that fluoride is safe or effective.

At least 1 child every minute is dying due to fluoride exposure. 

Dr. William Marcus was fired from a senior EPA post after going public with his concerns about fluoride.

Dental Fluorisis - a.k.a. brown teeth, is directly linked to fluoride exposure is affecting over 22% of American kids.

Fluoride exposure has many commonalities with Gulf war Illness, DOE, and other gas diffusion ills; long term halogen, extreme toxicity to lymphatic system, impairment of white blood cells, damage to mitochondria of cells resulting in immune protection damage resulting in a rise of viral, bacterial, microplasma and fungal cell damage.

Fluoride is poisonous to plants.

Fluoride cause fluorosis (mottled, brittle teeth prone to fracture.)

Fluoride is the only chemical added to U.S. municipal water that is used to mass medicate, rather than render water safe to drink.

Fluoride has never received "FDA approval as safe or effective.  It is listed as an "unapproved new drug."

The type of fluoride added to water is a hazardous waste by-product of aluminum, uranium, and phosphate fertilizer industries.

Hip fracture rates are much higher in fluoridated communities.  Fluorides main effect in senior citizens is to double the rate of hip fractures and hearing loss.

Recent large-scale studies in the U.S., Australia, and Canada show no difference in decay rates of permanent teeth in fluoridated and non-fluoridated water.

Fluoride is more toxic than lead even in minute doses.  It accumulates in and damages the brain/mind development of children, produces abnormal behavior in animals, and reduces human I.Q.

The fluoride content of food is increased significantly if cooked in fluoridated water or a Teflon-treated utensil.

There may be a connection between toothpaste (with its crystalline abrasives, foaming agents, and other additives)  and bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.  It's advisable to always rinse your mouth well after brushing and try to avoid swallowing any toothpaste (Earl Mindell, New Vitamin Bible, 2004, PP. 19-20).  Fluoride toothpastes may contain ammonia, ethanol, artificial colors and flavors, formaldehyde, mineral oils, sugar, and carcinogenic polyvinylpyrrolidone plastic (PVP), the same plastic resin used in hair sprays.

The data reveals that fluoride is a chemical toxin.

The toxicity of fluoride has caused many countries to rethink the fluoride issue and many have rescinded fluoride in favor of the health of their people.

Those banning fluoride are Sweden, Norway, Denmark, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, France, and The Netherlands. Despite these retractions of fluoride, the US still presses on with the goal to fluoridate (poison) every community water supply in the United States.

The research of Burk and Yiamouyiannis revealed that every major city with fluoride had increased rates of cancer. Not a fair trade for "good looking teeth".

I am referring to taking fluoride internally, where it has been found to cause unscheduled DNA synthesis, sister chromatid exchanges and yes, mutagenic effects on the cells.

Tsutsui, et al found that the addition of fluoride to healthy liver cell, in vitro, could establish changes that can only be described as cancerous.

The ADA’s official position is that it is safe, yet there have been deaths of children in the dentists office due to fluoride, albeit very few. The ADA concedes that fluoride contains three basic compounds commonly used for fluoridating drinking water supplies in the United States: sodium fluoride, sodium silicofluoride, and hydrofluorosilicic acid."

Now any chemist can tell you that these are not the sodium fluoride we are all told about. Sodium hydrofluorosilicic acid is one of the most reactive chemical species know to man. Its toxicity is known in many chemical circles. It will eat through metal/ plastic pipes and corrode many materials including stainless steel and other metals. It will dissolve rubber tires and melt concrete. This is added to our water to produce "healthy teeth".

Fluoride Does the Following:

"Fluoride is a highly toxic substance.... " L P Anthony, DDS editor of the Journal of the American Dental Association - 1944

"....we have very strong circumstantial evidence of systemic toxicity of the so-called absolutely safe concentrate of fluoridated water" Roy E Hanford, MD, "Where is Science Taking US? reprint from Saturday Review

"Don't drink fluoridated water .... Fluoride is a corrosive poison which will produce harm on a long term basis." Dr Charles Heyd, Past AMA president

Some 61,000 cancer deaths in the US result from fluoridation each year (Burk and Yiamouyiannis). One study found that fluoride elevates cancer mortality 17% in 16 years in large cities. (from Gerald Judd, PhD) "You have been led to believe the fluorine makes teeth harder. The fact is, it actually makes teeth softer." (George Meinig, a founder of the American Academy of Endodontics)

The US sees a 22% increase in decay every 16 years from fluoride use and a 50% decline in decay every 20 years compared with Finland's 98%, Sweden's 80% and Holland's 72%. And they are non-fluoridated. (Gerald Judd)

Fluoride is a potent neurotoxin and this has been known for some time; at least since the early 1940s.

Dr Gerard Judd, PhD (chemistry), [ emeritus Manhatten project] found that fluoride can inactivate 62 enzyme systems.

Geoffrey Smith stated, "Recent studies suggest that fluoride may be genotoxic." (p 79, Smith) And added, "There is now a substantial body of evidence suggesting that fluoride is mutagenic." (p 93, Smith) Gibson also noted, "Fluoride is one of the most toxic inorganic chemicals in the Earth's crust, ... However, with increasing experience, doubts about both safety and efficacy have arisen." (p 111, Gibson) He added, "A possible link between fluoridation of public water supplies and an increase in the cancer death rate has been debated for over 20 years and there is now no doubt that fluoride can cause genetic damage." (p 111, Gibson)

Gibson noted, "Inhibitory effects of fluoride on different enzyme systems have been demonstrated." (p 111, Gibson) And, "A section of the population may therefore be at risk of compromised immune system function from water fluoridation schemes." (p 112, Gibson)

Mutagenic, enzyme inhibition, genetic damage, increased cancer rates, genotoxic and controversial, all describe fluoride.

Tsutsui et al noted, a significant increase in chromosome aberrations at the chromatid level, sister chromatid exchanges, and unscheduled DNA synthesis was induced by NaF in a dose- and time dependent manner.

These results indicate that NaF is genotoxic and capable of inducing neoplastic transformation of Syrian hamster embryo cells in culture." (p 938, Tsutsui et al) There, you can see the controversy for yourself. Fluoride is toxic, fluoride is non-toxic; fluoride causes cancer, fluoride doesn't cause cancer. Who do we believe?

Here's two articles on mutations caused by fluoride:

The titles say it all.

The EPA found that at 2 ppm salmon were sterile, yet at 1 ppm it is placed in our water supply. [Dr Richard Foulkes] Fluoride only helps [if it helps] children up to age 12. Yet, everybody is "forced" to drink it. Oscar Ewing, who pushed fluoride in the legislature, told the senators not to drink it.

The last thing I would say it that by endorsing fluoride you totally eliminate the real prevention of tooth decay ... good sound nutrition. Tooth-brushing [important as it is] does not stop tooth decay.

Fluoride [a toxic] does not stop rampant tooth decay. [Fluoride only hardens to outer surface of the enamel and may prevent calcium from being deposited when a tooth is re-mineralized.] Nutrition stops tooth decay.
