Avoid Fluoride

(T)he concentration of fluoride recommended for

fluoridation programs (the sacrosanct " 1.0

part-per-million " ) is deemed to be entirely safe. An

examination of the scientific literature reveals that

this is not the case. Dr M A Roshal, in a 1965 issue

of the journal issued by the Leningrad Medical

Institute, reported that intake of fluoride - even at

the apparently " safe " concentration of 1.0 part per

million - caused derangements in blood sugar balance.

The Question of Fluoridation, by J. R. Marier, Ottawa,

Canada.

 

Inorganic fluoride is a persistent bioaccumulator, and

the ever-increasing use (and release) of fluoride

compounds in the environment should be of long-term

concern in population sub-groups who are most

susceptible, and therefore, most at risk. One of these

sub-groups consists of people with impaired kidney

function, including subjects with nephorphatic

diabetes. The diabetes factor is of particular

relevance, not only because the incidence of diabetes

has increased by 6%/yr during the period 1965-1975,

but also because subjects with nephropathic diabetes

can exhibit a polydipsia-polyurea syndrome that

results in increased intake of fluoride, along with

greater-than-normal retention of a given fluoride

dosage. People with inadequate dietary intakes

(particularly of Ca and/or Vitamin C) are also likely

to be more at risk as a consequence of low-dose

long-term fluoride ingestion. Evidence is presented,

showing that there has been an escalation in daily

fluoride intake via the total human food-and-beverage

chain, with the likelihood that this escalation will

continue in the future. Recent observations, relating

to an increasing incidence of chronic fluoride

intoxication among humans, is also emphasized.

Existing data (1993) indicate that subsets of the

population may be unusually susceptible to the toxic

effects of fluoride and its compounds. These

populations include the elderly, people with

deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, and/or vitamin C,

and people with cardiovascular and kidney problems.

.... Because fluoride is excreted through the kidney,

people with renal insufficiency would have impaired

renal clearance of fluoride ... Impaired renal

clearance of fluoride has also been found in people

with diabetes mellitus. (Emphasis added) Toxicological

Fluoride is an acute toxin with a rating slightly

higher than that of lead. According to " Clinical

Toxicology of Commercial products, " 5th Edition, 1984,

lead is given a toxicity rating of 3 to 4, and

Fluoride is rated at 4 (3 = moderately toxic, 4 = very

toxic). On December 7, 1992, the new EPA Maximum

Contaminant Level (MCL) for lead was set at 0.015 ppm,

with a goal of 0.0ppm. The MCL for fluoride is

currently set for 4.0ppm - that's over 250 times the

permissible level of lead.

 

At the level of 0.4 ppm renal (kidney) impairment has

been shown. (Junco, L.I. et al, " Renal Failure and

Fluorosis " , Fluorine & Dental Health, JAMA 222:783 -

785, 1972)

 

 

Professor William R. Stine of Wilkes College, Wilkes

Barre, PA, in chapter 19 of Applied Chemistry (second

edition, p 413 and 416) states that world scientific

opinion on this (fluoridation) issue is far from

unanimous. He then quotes Dr. Albert W. Burgstahler,

Professor of Chemistry at the University of Kansas,

who says:

 

Children with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus or

untreated pituitary diabetes have been found to

develop severe dental fluorosis from drinking water

containing only 1 or even 0.5 ppm fluoride Persons in

poor health and those who have allergy, asthma, kidney

disease, diabetes, gastric ulcer, low thyroid

function, and deficient nutrition are especially

susceptible to the toxic effects of fluoride in

drinking water. In addition, fluoride in beverages

(especially tea), food, air, drugs, tobacco,

toothpaste, and mouth rinses can also precipitate or

contribute to such intoxication.
