THE BEGINNING
In 1945, health officials in Grand Rapids Michigan decided it would be a good idea to forcefully medicate everyone in town by adding fluoride to the city's drinking water. The idea, spurred by massive political campaign contributions from the producers of this toxic waste, rapidly swept the nation, leaving few communities untouched. The Tampa Bay smokestack scrubber group, major producers of this poison continued onward with their financial incentives to the American Dental Association and other influential health entities. Even highly respected physicians succumbed to their largesse. Fluoride quickly became accepted as a safe and effective way of preventing dental caries in children. This was a noble enough objective which many enthusiastic dentists could not fail to embrace. The objective of the scrubber business wasn't nearly as noble. They wanted to develop a market for their toxic runoff in order to avoid the hefty disposal fees. Being able to sell this stuff was the best of both worlds.
Swept up in the cash fueled enthusiasm was the respected Dr Chester Douglass of Harvard. He conducted a "study" in which his research found that "Fluorides pose no danger when added to drinking water." A follow up study conducted by one of Dr Douglass's graduate students quickly found a contrary note. This new study found that among boys drinking fluoridated water with less than the amount of fluoride recommended as safe by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer) was estimated to be five times as great as among boys drinking unfluoridated water. At 100% of the recommended levels, the risk climbed to seven times as high. This association was found to be greatest among boys six to eight. Dr Douglass very carefully swept these data under the rug.
POISON PURE AND SIMPLE
Subsequent studies conducted over the past twenty years have defined indisputable links between fluoridated drinking water and deleterious side effects that dwarf the relatively minor incidence of osteosarcoma in young boys. Here are just a few of them:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Headaches
Dryness of the throat and excessive water consumption
Urinary tract irritation
Arthritic like pain in bones and muscles
Pain in lower back, jaws, neck, arms, shoulders, legs
Muscular weakness and muscle spasms
Tingling sensations in fingers and feet
Gastrointestinal disturbances
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea and bloody stool, constipation
Nausea and flu like symptoms
The list can go on...
Compounding the problem is the incidence of people drinking fluoridated water and then brushing their teeth with fluoridated toothpaste, raising their levels of fluoride ingestion to unacceptable heights even for those government agencies entrusted with monitoring our health. This is the tradeoff for realizing a verified reduction in tooth decay of 18% to 25%. At a glance, that looks like a somewhat significant number. But when the method of computation is examined, this translates to one tooth surface for each person drinking fluoridated water. Hardly impressive. We have 32 five-surfaced teeth in a full set. And there are better, less toxic ways of reducing tooth decay.
Well meaning dentists continue to avidly support water fluoridation and the forced medication of their communities. But dentists have absolutely no training in toxicity! These well intentioned professionals are simply following 50 years of continuing misinformation from public health and their dental association.
FLUORIDE REJECTED WORLD WIDE
Other nations are not as gullible, or perhaps their politicians haven't been paid adequately. In Canada, Toronto has banished it from the water supply while Vancouver continues to use it. But in Europe and other parts of the world we find a different picture.
CHINA - Banned
AUSTRIA - Rejected
BELGIUM - Rejected
GERMANY - Stopped
DENMARK - Rejected
NORWAY - Rejected
SWEDEN - Banned
HUNGARY - Stopped
THE NETHERLANDS - Apparently the dental lobby has received a large enough incentive to fight tooth and nail against removing fluoride from the water supply - shades of the United States. Whenever there is a court decision against fluoridation, the dental lobby pushes to have the judgement overturned on a technicality or they try to get the laws changed to legalize it. This is the same country that has no laws against the use of marijuana and narcotic drugs.
After half a century of delusion, the CDC, the ADA, and Public Health stubbornly and skillfully continue to manipulate public opinion in favor of fluoridation. Meanwhile, study after study continues to sound the death knell for this deadly toxin. Fluoridation is bound to be around for a long time yet, providing work for countless physicians trying to cope with its disastrous effects. Ultimately however, its supporters will need to ready the life rafts.
