But they aren't, at least not all of them. In fact, a very vocal contingent of anti-fluoridation activists (for lack of a better word) are threatening to take the British government to court should the proposed national fluoridation plan become the law of the land. Currently, the legislation is being ram-rodded through the House of Commons, and the odds are good that it will pass easily. Which means every citizen of that great nation will (like the United States) be forced to ingest a toxin formerly used only as a rat poison, and which has been linked to: * Immune system alteration - Fluoride causes the immune system to fail to distinguish between the body's own proteins and disease, which can lead to autoimmune conditions, like asthma and Graves' disease. * Muskolo-Skeletal harm - Fluoride-caused enzyme toxicity damages the collagens and other substances that make up muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and even tooth enamel (honest!). Rheumatoid illnesses such as arthritis and osteoporosis are aggravated as a result. * Genetic damage - Fluoride's enzyme poisoning effects penetrate the body's chromosomes, causing permanent genetic changes that can lead to damage to the genitalia, and has even been linked to an increased incidence of birth defects like Down Syndrome. * Cancer - Because fluoride is a mutagen, it can cause the uncontrolled spread of certain types of cells, cancer among these. One report from San Francisco in the 1950 showed a 400% increase in one type of cancer during the period in which their water supply was initially fluoridated. * Thyroid dysfunction - Fluoride causes damage to the thyroid gland in multiple ways, which can play havoc on your body's hormonal balance and ultimately lead to hypothyroidism, an increasingly common condition in most all civilized nations. As if these things aren't bad enough, because your body can only eliminate about half the fluoride you ingest, this toxin builds up in your system over time. This causes its negative effects to be multiplied the older you get. But since our local and national governments aren't doing anything to protect us from this poison (but instead are forcing it down our throats), it's up to you to protect yourself. The best ways to do this are to stop using fluoridated toothpastes and invest in a good-quality, high- volume water filter that specifically targets fluoride. Your only other option is to move somewhere the " fluoride Nazis " haven't taken over yet. But then, there's no guarantee they won't start fluoridating the day after you sign your lease. ************************************************************** To start receiving your own copy of the Daily Dose, visit: http://www.realhealthnews.com/dailydose/freecopy.html Or forward this e-mail to a friend so they can sign-up to receive their own copy of the Daily Dose. ************************************************************** Tell us something we DON'T know... Is it really any surprise to learn that more than 2 years after that darkest of days in September, 2001, we're still sorely under-prepared for a bioterror attack or other major public health emergency? Well, now it's official - according to a large-scale study conducted by the non-profit Trust for America's Health. The elaborate survey-based research evaluated each U.S. state (including the District of Columbia) with regard to its level of compliance with 10 specific threat-response goals. Among these: The presence of at least one lab equipped to handle biological agents, adequate numbers of medical staff, a sufficient stockpile of medical supplies and medicine, and whether or not the state had cut their public health budgets in the face of a slowing economy. The study's findings: That only 9 of 50 states met EVEN HALF of these 10 target criteria. Ironically, Washington, D.C. - perhaps the most prime of all target zones in the whole of the nation - met only 3. Reassuring, isn't it? Sickening, more like. I've said it before, and I'll say it again now. Instead of forming new and ever-more-bloated Federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Insecurity to suck up funds, arbitrarily limit (or eliminate) your personal freedoms, and do all the wrong things to prevent another terrorist attack, what we really need to do to is empower individuals to protect themselves - in ALL ways and from EVERY threat. And after nearly two and half years, you'd figure they would've come up with at least that much, right? Look, if you want to be able to protect yourself NOW instead of waiting for the Fools on The Hill to MAYBE protect you a decade from now (I wouldn't hold my breath), give my special report on the subject a look. I wrote it in anticipation of just this type of mass government unpreparedness. That doesn't make me a prophet, just sensible.
