Research among POWS during the war found that flouride affects a part of the

brain in a way that makes people less likely to question authority.

Fluoride -

The Battle of Darkness & Light

by Mary Sparrowdancer

2003

12-14-3

 

It was due to my growing concerns about our country´s growing health

problems as well as the erosion of our civil liberties that, in November of

2002, I published a paper focusing upon both of these issues and spoke about

them on several radio programs. The paper quietly made its way through

Washington, D.C., and then around the world.

 

The paper detailed the " revolving door " in Washington, D.C., an apparent

turnstile between private industries and the United States government.

Through this invisible door, industry managers pass directly into the very

agencies that govern industry - the government´s food, drug, agricultural

and chemical regulatory departments - in order to influence regulations or

speed the approval of their company´s products. The paper, " Let Them Eat

Anything, " showed this unholy alliance, the conflict of interest that has

contributed to a mounting epidemic of health problems in the United States.

(1)

 

I expected the paper to provoke comments, but I did not expect it to result

in my being contacted by a nutrition expert who had worked in the USDA. She

called to thank me for writing the paper. Incredibly, because light was the

topic of my previous book detailing a personal Near Death Experience and

ongoing, unexplained encounters with light phenomena, in an example of

incomparable synchronicity, the name of the former USDA expert who contacted

me was Luise Light.

 

I read the first email I received from Luise Light with a sense of

astonishment. Luise had been the former team leader and Special Nutrition

Assistant to USDA´s Carol Tucker Foreman - who is described as " a prominent

food safety advocate " by Eric Schlosser in his best-selling book, Fast Food

Nation.

 

From her personal experience, Dr. Light confirmed not only the revolving

door I had described in my paper, but in addition, the corruption within the

" government " taking place just on the other side of that door. Here, from an

eyewitness, came the truth that individuals representing corporations are

not only holding key government positions, they have also been determining

which studies are done, who receives grants, and they have been " adjusting "

the reports in order to create a false sense of security about their favored

products and services.

 

With the promise of corporate gain and personal profit, the industry

" representatives " have been making important decisions affecting all of us

profoundly. For the most part, the general public has been unaware of this

partnership between private business and our publicly funded federal

government.

 

Of special interest to Luise was what I had presented as the " absurd

American food pyramid " - a dietary guide that first came out in the 1980s,

and in which our " government " recommended starch as the foundation of our

diet. This was of particular interest to Luise because, as I read in awe, it

was she and her team of nutrition experts who had created the concept of the

food pyramid - but with a very major twist. The real food pyramid, Luise

wrote, was completely different from the " adjusted " pyramid that was

distributed to an unsuspecting American public.

 

The true pyramid that Luise and her team developed was not absurd, at all.

It did not have starch as the foundation. Instead, it called for a base of a

wide variety of fruits and vegetables, with 5 to 9 servings daily. Whole

grain cereals and grains were recommended in amounts of 2 to 4 servings

daily - with the smaller amount for females and those with less active

lifestyles. The real pyramid that Luise and her team created placed baked

goods, crackers, sweets and other low-nutrient foods up with the sugars and

fats at the top of the pyramid, where they were recommended only as

occasional treats.

 

" But what happened? " Luise wrote, stating that there had been a deliberate,

unexplained switch made at the political level that completely distorted the

pyramid - which is the subject of her forthcoming book, Ketchup is Not a

Vegetable; Sane Eating in a Toxic Food World.

 

" Instead of fruits and vegetables making up the base of the diet, " she

wrote, " the cereals and wheat products were made the base of the pyramid,

and the recommendation [for starchy foods] was no longer 2 to 4 as we had

determined but switched 6 to 11 servings! We couldn´t believe it! What

possible rationale could there be for such an unprecedented and unjustified

switch? In fact the health consequences of encouraging the public to eat so

much refined grain, which the body processes like sugar, was frightening!

But our exhortations to the political heads of the agency fell on deaf ears.

The new food guide, replacing the ´Basic Four,´ would be a promotional tool

to get the public to buy and consume more calories, sugar and starch. "

Ultimately, this would result in a poorer quality diet.

 

What was given to the public in the 1980s was a pyramid with a foundation

based (in more ways than one) on dough. And the American people - with full

and innocent trust in the health advice given to them by the government -

then attempted to follow the new health-based plan. The result would be

profit and gain for some, and the torments of ill health and weight gain for

countless others.

 

As Americans complied with the new dietary suggestions, within a few years

the results of this unsuspecting compliance began to surface.

 

According to studies and charts provided by the Centers for Disease Control

(CDC), during the years 1988 to 2000 the percentage of children and teens

suffering from obesity more than doubled. During those same years, the CDC

reported that the prevalence of adults suffering from overweight and obesity

rose steadily to 64%. In 2001, the second most frequently prescribed drug

sold in America was a synthetic hormone drug, indicating a vast number of

individuals were now suffering from thyroid malfunction. Tied in with the

overweight and obesity problems resulting from thyroid malfunction are a

host of additional, potentially deadly afflictions suggesting that

" overweight " might be only a symptom rather than a diagnosis - it is

actually only one of the more visible clues that something is not right,

that something is out of kilter. (2, 3, 4)

 

According to the CDC, between the years 1980 and 1994 the overall incidence

of asthma increased 75%. Since 1991, the number of US adults with diagnosed

diabetes has increased 61%, and the number is projected to more than double

by the year 2050. (5, 6)

 

An article in the New England Journal of Medicine stated that the incidence

of gastric/esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma) has inexplicably risen more

rapidly than any other cancer incidence in the United States. Yale New Haven

Hospital and the National Cancer Institute list that rate of increase at

350%. Also noted was the observation that the majority of the unfortunates

suffering from gastric cancer in this particular study were white males, and

the majority of those white males first presented with Gastroesophageal

Reflux Disease (GERD). Adult white males were not the only ones suffering

from GERD, however. By the CDC´s own definition of " epidemic, " GERD appears

to be an epidemic of staggering proportions in the United States, today. (7)

 

The motto of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is " Safer,

Healthier People. " The CDC mission statement is, " To promote health and

quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and

disability. " Yet, when I contacted the CDC because I was having difficulty

in locating their statistical reports on the increasing prevalence of GERD,

the response I received was, " CDC does not have activities related to GERD. "

 

With CDC unable to supply statistics on this epidemic, it was necessary to

look elsewhere. A reasonable idea of prevalence and trends could be obtained

by " following the money " and looking at pharmaceutical marketing data.

 

What was found was stunning, and it suggested that medicine focused on the

treatment of chronic symptoms results in a dependency on chronic treatment.

People struggling for relief and a chance to live normal lives become

dependent on the pharmaceutical industry for relief. If they can pay the

price, they will be served.

 

Americans are apparently now paying the price because the marketing

information indicates this country is now considered " the world leader " in

the overall consumption of pharmaceutical products.

 

By following records of drug sales, one can follow the trend of GERD, and

America once again has somehow become a " world leader, " this time in the

prevalence of caustic heartburn in its citizenry.

 

Beginning in 1997, the top-selling prescription drug being purchased by

Americans was a pharmaceutical preparation that promised relief from ulcers,

GERD and other conditions related to excessive, corrosive acid in the

stomach and esophagus. In 1998, 1999 and 2000, that acid-relief drug

remained the number one prescribed drug in the country.

 

An editorial that appeared in the March 18, 1999 issue of the New England

Journal of Medicine, (Volume 340:878-879, Number 11), by Sidney Cohen, M.D.

and Henry P. Parkman, M.D. noted, " It is ironic that the incidence of

adenocarcinoma of the esophagus has increased dramatically in the very

period in which highly effective therapies have provided symptomatic relief

and mucosal healing. "

 

Indeed.

 

In treating the symptoms of GERD, are we silencing true " gut instinct? " Are

we silencing a divinely designed warning system that is trying to tell us we

are ingesting something toxic, corrosive and dangerous? Are we silencing

with drugs a signal that is warning us we must stop ingesting a toxic

substance before it kills us?

 

It was not until 2001, that the most popularly prescribed drug was overtaken

by drugs being purchased by Americans seeking relief from something else

tormenting them within. In 2001, Americans were spending their money in an

attempt to seek relief from personal and profound depression - another

symptom that, along with weight problems, is known to occur as a result of

thyroid malfunction. It was another signal telling us that something was

affecting not only our bodies, but our minds and emotions.

 

While this surge in both corrosive gastric disorders and mental anguish was

easily dismissed as the price to pay for " the daily stress of life, " the

same theory cannot be used to explain away the surge in rates of mental

torment and GERD now afflicting infants and children.

 

During the five-year period ending in 2001, the sale of drugs prescribed to

treat reflux, heartburn and other gastrointestinal disorders in children

soared 660 percent. In a report looking at four of those same years, the

cost of treating behavioral problems presently referred to as ADHD in

children also increased 120 percent. (8, 9)

 

According to an annual report of the US Department of Education to Congress,

the number of " children aged 0 to 21 " being treated for autism and traumatic

brain injury rose from the first 5,000 reported cases in 1992/93 (at the

start of mandatory reporting), to 94,000 cases in 2000/01. In looking at

individual states, a troubling mosaic forms. States showing the highest

increase (a two thousand percent increase or greater) in the number of

children being treated for autism include Alaska, Colorado, Kentucky,

Mississippi, Maryland and Oregon. This is not to say that the other states

were faring well - in California from 1987 through 2002, the number of

people being treated for autism by the Department of Developmental Services

increased by 634%. In Indiana the percentage of children suffering from

autism rose by 860%. In Michigan, the increase was over 1000%. The 1999

Journal of Pediatrics indicated that the majority of autistic children who

were followed in one study were also suffering from reflux and other

digestive problems. (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

 

Unfortunately, it appears that little boys are far more likely than little

girls to suffer from autism as well as from a variety of childhood

behavioral disorders. Typically, even as infants these boys also appear to

be suffering from reflux and sleep disturbances. It is while noting the

surge in ADHD that another disturbing fact emerges: Some of the states with

the worst surges in behavioral problems - including Colorado, Kentucky,

Mississippi, Alaska and Oregon - are also states in which still-unexplained

behavior in juvenile males has manifested in horrific school shootings.

 

While the brain and its workings are still not fully understood, it is

within the frontal lobes of the brain that the capacities for moral

judgment, attention and memory are now thought to be situated. PET scans and

functional MRIs of the boys afflicted with autistic disorders have revealed

what appears to be " decreased glucose metabolic rate in the medial frontal

region, " and " hypometabolism [lowered metabolism] demonstrated in the

temporal and parietal regions. " (16)

 

Tests have also indicated that, in the brains of the afflicted boys there is

a " decreased activity and reduced anatomical size, particularly in the right

brain . . . " Other brain disturbances, including disturbances in the

brain´s processing of tryptophan, serotonin and melatonin are becoming

known, as is damage to the hippocampus area, thought to be associated with

memory problems and obsessive thoughts. (17)

 

Pharmaceuticals such as methylphenidate, now in popular use, stimulate the

frontal lobes in order to heighten the brain´s ability to filter out

noncritical parts of the daily barrage of stimuli. This pharmaceutical

appears to at least temporarily improve the behavioral symptoms of

agitation, hyperactivity and inattention in children whose brains are

otherwise unable to filter stimuli on their own.

 

While stimulants might improve outward symptoms, though, research now

indicates that within the right brain, most notably within the right

temporal lobe and hippocampus regions, there exists an extremely unusual

area of neuroreceptors and transmitters. It is this area of the brain that

is believed to be the connection between the human individual and the still

unexplained realm of the mystical and the divine - the realm of divinely

perceived Light. For this reason, this area of the brain is now being

referred to by some researchers as the " God Spot " - what might be our most

important connection of all.

 

Despite the fact that this extraordinary realm of Light is largely bypassed

as noncritical by the majority of researchers, many individuals have now

described numerous, similar experiences with the Light, indicating such

experience is not as uncommon as orthodox science has assumed. In examining

some of the oldest texts in human history, it is apparent that interactions

with Beings of Light have, since the earliest of times, been the most

cherished and desired of all human experiences. Writings from ancient Egypt

describe journeys into the Light and contact with beings and messengers.

" Manna, " was the expression voiced by startled Egyptians on seeing the

living entities emerging from the light. " Manna, " meant, " what is this? "

 

We can judge from the unprecedented volume of prescriptions for psychiatric

drugs that something is having a profoundly depressing influence upon the

human mind at this time. Something is happening within our brains that is

manifesting as anxiety, depression and impaired cognitive abilities - this

much we know. Because adequate research of the God-Spot is not an " approved "

field of study, however, we have no scientific reports warning us if the God

connection in the brain is also being damaged at this time. Again, we have

only outward signs to observe - signals indicating something is blocking our

access to the most important light of our lives, and symptoms that speak to

a growing angst, darkness and the loneliness of godlessness.

 

Researchers who dare to study this area of human experience, do so facing

professional humiliation from peers, although such research may actually be

critical to the well-being of humanity. Those who guard the borders of

acceptable research are often quite skeptical or disapproving of what they

contend is mere " paranormal " speculation, and for this reason, that area of

study has been largely avoided by professionals and researchers.

 

Melvin Morse, M.D., pediatrician and author of Closer to the Light, is one

of very few professionals who has dared to explore this uncharted territory.

In summing up this unfortunate situation of acceptable study versus study

that is dismissed as paranormal, he writes, " This lack of a theoretical

scientific model to allow interaction with an interconnected universe has

led to a 100 year ´skeptic´ versus ´believer´ debate which has not advanced

our understanding of human consciousness. " (18, 19, 20)

 

Although our increasing inability to perceive the divine and understand the

full extent of our human capabilities remains largely ignored by those

discrediting or rejecting " paranormal " research, the growing epidemic of

anxiety, depression and overwhelming despair in this country´s children

deserves the attention of all of us. It should be considered a national

emergency, and a national tragedy.

 

In Colorado, the rate of suicide among teenagers, children and young adults

has been consistently above the national average since 1980. Suicide is,

sadly, the second-leading cause of death in children between the ages of 10

through 19 in Colorado. In Kentucky, suicide is also the second leading

cause of death in children, teens and young adults. In Mississippi, the

number of teen and young-adult suicides has increased 126% since 1969, with

more than 90% of the victims being males. In Alaska, the suicide rate among

teenagers is nearly twice that of the national average - twice. (21, 22, 23,

24)

 

Other strange surges in human suffering have been noted, as well. In

Colorado, from 1990 through 1999, the percentage of children with orthopedic

impairments rose 484%. In Alaska, during 1990-98, the incidence of diabetes

increased by 152%, (much greater than the national rate), and now Alaska is

among the top three states with the highest incidence of squamous cell

carcinoma of the esophagus. (25, 26)

 

In the midst of all this growing and tragic suffering, in the year 2000 the

Surgeon General issued a " first ever " call to action in response to what was

noted as a " silent epidemic " of dental problems in the United States.

Something strange is happening in the mouths of Americans. (27)

 

According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, an

estimated 80% of American adults currently have some form of periodontal

(gum) disease. In parts of Kentucky, nearly half of the toddlers have

cavities in their teeth, which is approximately twice the national average.

In addition to Kentucky, the top five states cited in a 1997 table used in

the Surgeon General´s report on toothlessness included West Virginia,

Louisiana, Arkansas and Maine. (28, 29, 30)

 

Perhaps it is at this point that one might begin to reasonably suspect that

whatever lies at the cause of this epidemic of epidemics - whatever is

disabling Americans in body, mind and spirit - just might be something we

are putting into our mouths or otherwise absorbing into our bodies. This is

not an unreasonable suspicion.

 

Given the avalanche of starch that is now figuratively suffocating us and

literally fattening us, given the strange new bioengineered oddities now

secretly passing as food in America, given the relatively new insertion of

soy compounds in seemingly infinite forms and aliases into nearly every

packaged, jarred and canned food on the grocery shelves - given the

chemicals, the mandatory cocktails of highly questionable and extremely

toxic vaccines all being inserted into the American population - it does not

appear at all unreasonable to think that what is wrong with our health and

well-being might have something to do with what we are taking in with

mouths, skin and lungs.

 

It does not appear to be at all unreasonable to suspect that our new status

as world leader in pursuit of relief-seeking drugs has a cause, and that

cause just might be something unnatural that is entering our bodies en

masse.

 

The list of possible suspected toxins, though lengthy, can be shortened by a

deductive process. Not all of us consume soy - some avoid it by preference,

others because of allergies, and still others avoid it who have been alerted

to questions raised by research about its safety. Not all parents permit

their children to take the vaccines mandated by government. A significant

number of Americans avoid bioengineered food by purchasing organic, GE-free

products, and still others have cut large amounts of starch from their diets

in order to maintain proper weight and health. Not all of us have similar

lifestyles that might be blamed as the cause for physical distress, mental

despair, stress, cognitive malfunctions and uncompassionate apathy now upon

us.

 

The toxic suspect is unlikely to be an elective, avoidable substance. More

likely the toxin is in something that we all consume because we need it,

like flowers need the rain. It might be something undetectable at first -

something that we willingly ingest without knowing it. It would be a toxin

that could be added into virtually every food and beverage, with no mention

of it required on the labels.

 

The substance would also be now causing problems in a bizarre geographical

manner. As though it were seemingly able to sense invisible county boundary

lines, it would be a toxin that is leaving a trail which jumps from county

to county, state to state, missing some counties and entire states while

hitting other counties and states particularly hard.

 

The search is for a substance that can be absorbed through the skin and

lungs as well as by swallowing it. Undetectable to us except by scientific

measuring, it is a substance that does its work quietly and in extremely low

doses. Working at a molecular level, it would cause a gradual onset of

disease and disability observable only after the slow passage of years. It

is then, after that slow, slow passage of years, that an epidemic of

epidemics would be noticed while its cause long forgotten in the mists of

time.

 

After a process of elimination, the substance that meets all of the criteria

and stands alone in the crosshairs of our search is a substance that does

not appear to be suspect. In fact, it raises no suspicions in most of us,

whatsoever, because most of us are unaware of the research pertaining to

this substance.

 

It is a substance that, according to government reports, has been known

since 1930 to have such a powerful effect upon thyroid function, it has been

used in prescription medications to treat hyperthyroidism (overactive

thyroid). It can, therefore, along with our pyramid of dough, be reasonably

marked as a suspicious agent contributing to the current epidemic of obesity

and thyroid problems. (31, 32, 33, 34)

 

It is a substance that has also long been known to cause or exacerbate the

exact periodontal disease resulting in the tooth loss that has caught the

attention of the Surgeon General. In addition to being a causative agent in

periodontal disease, it is a substance that is known to accumulate in the

teeth and bones creating brittleness, and for this reason it has also been

associated with osteoporosis and other bone diseases and disorders that are

also now being seen in America.

 

The mysterious substance is so corrosive, when added to water it will eat

its way through a titanium container. Since it will eat its way through

titanium, perhaps it should not come as a great surprise to learn that it is

also known to act as a severe corrosive agent on human gastric and mucosal

tissues. (35, 36, 37, 38)

 

As Americans´ afflictions continue to unfold unlike anything else that

humanity has known and brought upon itself, we also learn that the material,

once thought unable to cross the blood-brain barrier, crosses it rather

well. It also concentrates in the pineal gland that is located within the

brain. (39, 40, 41, 42)

 

Any agent that passes through the brain can be expected to affect behavior,

mood and cognitive function, and this substance has been repeatedly shown to

create a depressing, numbing effect.

 

As early as 1954 this substance was reported by George L. Waldbott, M.D., to

cause his patients to become " incoherent, drowsy, lethargic and forgetful. "

His reports are not isolated. Government reports indicate similar findings

of " impaired cognition and memory. " So well-known is the impact of this

chemical on the human brain and mental function, it continues to be

incorporated in and sold in a variety of popular, well-known psychiatric

drugs. (43, 44, 45)

 

Given the existing reports of this substance´s presence within the brain -

including its effects on the right temporal lobe, hippocampus and the pineal

gland - perhaps it should come as no wonder that a growing number of people,

children in particular, are now behaving strangely, unpredictably, and

sometimes very badly while also noting gross memory impairment after

ingesting or absorbing this substance.

 

Reports also indicate that the substance is not as effectively eliminated

from the body in young males as it is in others. Thus retained in the body,

its effect upon juvenile males appears to be quite different from its effect

on females or even adult males. (46)

 

Because of its known toxic side effects, this substance requires a

prescription when administered by medical professionals, but in a bizarre

and quite deadly paradox enabled by industry masterminds working within the

government, it can be administered en masse to the general public by dealers

who have no medical training whatsoever, no license to dispense medications

whatsoever, and who, in fact, have no idea to whom they are administering

this corrosive, toxic, mind-altering substance.

 

Those who avoid non-prescribed pharmaceutical substances might feel safe as

a result of personal choices to refrain from unapproved drugs and

substances. We have dutifully repeated the " just say no to drugs " mantra,

and we have instructed our children to repeat the same after us. We would

not think of taking mind-altering drugs from a dealer, and would never

consider giving such a substance in unregulated doses to our infants and

children.

 

However, we have been innocently doing just that. In a growing number of

geographical areas that begin and end with invisible county lines, the

substance is almost impossible to avoid. Some of the hardest hit counties

are located in Alaska, Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan and Mississippi.

 

As the old saying goes, when no other agent can be located as the cause for

our problems, blame it on the water. " It must be something in the water, "

the saying has been said for ages, usually with a shrug and chuckle.

 

Perhaps it´s time for us as individuals and as a nation to repeat this

phrase again - this time as though our lives depended upon it, this time

without a shrug and chuckle - and while we are at it, take a closer look at

our water.

 

Maybe there is something in the water, after all.

The strange, corrosive, toxic but still controversial agent in the water is

fluoride.

 

The atomic symbol for the negatively charged halogen known as fluorine is,

simply, " F " or " F-. " When the negatively charged ions - or anions - of

fluorine gas combine with another element, a fluoride compound is formed. If

the F combines with sodium (Na), for instance, the compound would then be

known as sodium fluoride, or NaF. If it combines with calcium (Ca), the

compound formed is calcium fluoride, or CaF. If it combines with arsenic, it

becomes AsF. And so on.

 

Fluoride is a trace element in nature, but manmade fluoride compounds became

grossly abundant as a result of the invention of weapons of mass destruction

in World War II. Fluoride and uranium are key components in the atomic bomb,

and fluoride is also a key ingredient in fluorinated organophosphate nerve

agents, such as Sarin.

 

Radioactive uranium is naturally present in phosphate ore, but it must be

" enriched " if it is to become a nuclear weapon or a reactor fuel. After the

phosphate is mined, the uranium " yellow cake " is removed and sent to an

enrichment facility such as the plant owned by the Department of Energy in

Paducah, Kentucky. There, the uranium is fluorinated and uranium

hexafluoride (UF6) is produced. Paducah´s enrichment plant stopped making

UF6 for weapons in the 1960s, and began creating it, instead, for commercial

purposes as a reactor fuel.

 

Uranium fission was first discovered in the late 1930s by German scientists.

In 1939, there was a reported fear that the Nazis were about to develop a

bomb using uranium fission. In 1942, Americans began similar research,

facilitated by the knowledge of scientists who had fled their own countries

and moved to the United States. Thus, America was the first to achieve both

creation - and use - of atomic weaponry in 1945.

 

That year, 1945, was one of many changes. With World War II over, 1945

marked the year in which the Nuremberg Trials began - trials that presumably

reaffirmed the sanctity of life, and human rights - trials which would

eventually address the atrocities of Nazi human experimentation.

 

As the world breathed a sigh a relief in knowing that the Nazi health

officials´ experimentation on human beings had been halted in Germany, 1945

marked the year that " public health officials " in America began their

experimentation on human beings with water fluoridation.

 

In what would turn out to be the biggest human experimentation in history,

sodium fluoride - NaF - was added into American´s drinking water in selected

communities under the medical claim that the F would prevent dental caries

(cavities) in children. Those receiving this experimental, medicinal

treatment in their drinking water, received it then as they do now: They are

forced to ingest it, inhale it, bathe and shower in it, whether or not they

want or even need this toxic chemical in their bodies.

 

As with all medicinal compounds - indeed, as with virtually everything on

Earth - some individuals can be expected to have extreme side effects and

allergic reactions. Individuals having severe allergic reactions to

penicillin, poison ivy or peanuts are very likely to use common sense and

avoid those substances. Unlike the penicillin, poison ivy or peanuts,

however - in fact, unlike any other medicinal compound in history - over 60%

of Americans at this time are now unable to electively avoid the F product

unless they also can find a way to avoid their water. While the list of side

effects from fluoride has been falsely minimized or completely concealed by

fluoride promoters, the side effects are well documented. Side effects have

been so severe that previously approved medications containing high-grade F

compounds have been removed from the market by the FDA. (47, 48, 49, 50, 51)

 

In a recent paper authored by Myron Coplan, PE, and Roger Masters, PhD, a

professor at Dartmouth, the authors discovered that a subtle but potentially

lethal change in F additives took place shortly after the fluoride

experimentation on Americans began. In 1947 instead of higher-grade NaF or

sodium fluoride - silicofluorides, or SiFs, were substituted as the

fluorinating compound in drinking water. This switch was carried out under

the gross misconception that all F compounds are the same. As outlined in

some largely ignored research, however, one part of SiF is substantially

more potent than six parts of NaF. Despite this evidence, and despite the

fact that it is now SiF rather than NaF primarily being used in American

water fluoridation, Masters and Coplan found that " virtually all the

extensive laboratory research on the biological properties and effects of

fluoride in water has been performed using NaF rather than SiFs... " (52)
