" FLUORIDE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN THE PREVENTION OF TOOTH DECAY, AND

NO FURTHER STUDIES OF ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH ARE NECESSARY. "

(Official Dentist's Fluoridation PR booklet)

 

 

For the past 50 years the US public has been very convincingly

persuaded to ignore the fluoride issue, but the serious facts about

this issue keep repeating, and the situation appears to be degrading.

 

 

The growing widespread concern over public apathy, rising health

concerns, and the apparent stupidity of our school children keeps

mounting. This fluoride issue is offered as one of several possible

important answers to that problem.

 

 

THE HALOGENS:

 

 

The Halogen family consists of five chemical elements: Fluorine,

Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. (Chlorine and Fluorine are

chief ingredients of the CFC's, that are causing the current

controversy with the ozone holes.)

 

 

Depending upon use and dosage, the Halogens have a varying effect on

the human mind, nervous system and metabolism. For example one of the

most popular current hospital anesthetics, " Halothane " , contains

Fluorine, Chlorine, and Bromine.

 

 

BROMINE

--The Australians reportedly issued Bromide tea to their soldiers in

World War II, to decrease their sex urge and thus lower the incidence

of VD.

 

 

--Per a recent Internet search, investigators looking into the Gulf

War Syndrome found that all 695,000 troops in the Persian Gulf War

were involuntarily administered the unproven, experimental toxicity-

enhancer, Pyridostigmine Bromide (PB) supposedly as a nerve agent pre-

treatment medication.

 

Officials estimated that approximately two-thirds of those troops

took the drug for varying periods of time. However, DoD scientists

who studied Pyridostigmine and nerve agent Sarin concluded that PB

should only be used when the threat is nerve agent Soman;

Pyridostigmine pre-treatment unfortunately makes individuals MORE

vulnerable to Sarin.

 

Defense intelligence knew before the war that Iraq did not

manufacture, stockpile, or use Soman; just one Iraqi chemical plant

was estimated to produce up to TWO TONS of Sarin per day, however.

 

 

CHLORINE

--Chlorine Gas and chlorine-bearing Mustard gas were feared in Europe

in World War I, and they are still currently in the chemical-warfare

arsenal of many countries. Chlorine gas was reportedly released in

Iraq during the Gulf War.

 

 

--Chlorine is widely added to U.S. drinking water today for the sole

purpose of killing something, while natural water oxygenation

treatments as used in Europe are much more safe for human consumption.

 

 

FLUORINE

--Fluorine is the most highly-reactive and chemically unstable of ALL

existing chemical elements. Fluorine is not found by itself in

nature, because it is so unstable that it chemically combines--

violently, in many cases--with practically any other element.

 

 

--Fluorine has the strongest effect of all the halogens. Fluorine is

one of the major ingredients in the controversial psycho-active

psychiatric drug PROZAC (Fluoxetene Hydrochloride), and also in

deadly Sarin military nerve gas, U.S. designation GB. (Isopropyl-

Methyl-Phosphoryl Fluoride).

 

 

--While one lethal dose of sarin would fit on the head of a pin, the

U.S. arsenal stockpiles literally billions of lethal doses.

 

In just two examples, 10 million pounds of sarin are stored in

weapons at the Tooele, Utah Army Depot, and another 550,000 pounds

are in the Blue Grass Army Depot near Richmond, Kentucky. (Page A4,

Anchorage Daily News, Tuesday, 23 January 96.).

 

Other countries--especially Russia--also have comparable stockpiles

of nerve agents, if not more. Chemical Warfare (CW) research and

manufacture is ongoing.

 

 

--The nerve-gas Soman (GD) is chemically similar to Sarin (GB), and

they both contain fluorine. They are called " nerve " agents because

they directly attack and destroy the nervous system.

 

According to an EPA report (following), once you remove the fluorine

from Sarin, all that remains is a non-toxic acid. In other words,

fluorine--the same fluorine that is in our drinking water--is what

gives sarin its " kick " .

 

 

--The U.S. was openly selling nerve gas ingredients to Iraq as late

as 1984, until the State Department banned the export of certain

chemical substances to Iraq: " U.S. Halts Shipment of Chemicals to

Iraq (AP)

 

WASHINGTON - U.S. Customs agents in New York impounded a shipment of

74 drums of potassium fluoride, a principal ingredient of a deadly

form of nerve gas, to Iraq, the Customs Service said Saturday. . . "

(Page 1, Battle Creek Enquirer, 1 April 1984). The shipment was

destined for the " Ministry of Pesticides " in Baghdad. No mention was

made of the quantity of such chemicals that had been sold to Iraq

before the ban.

 

 

--Details on nerve warfare agents can be found at this website:

http://www.opcw.nl/chemhaz/nerve.htm

 

 

--The infamous date-rape hypnotic drug " Roofs " (Rohypnol) is

fluorinated Valium, which is reportedly 20-30 times more potent than

Valium alone.

 

Note the following article: " DEA WANTS 'DATE RAPE' DRUG CLASSIFIED.

Washington - An illegal sedative nicknamed the " date rape " drug

should be put in the same category as heroin, cocaine and LSD in the

next three months, the Drug Enforcement Administration said Thursday.

The agency recommended that Rohypnol, connected to more than 2,400

criminal investigations nationwide, be declared a Schedule 1 drug,

DEA spokesman Jim McGivney said. " (Page 6, Anchorage Daily News, June

21, 1996.)

 

 

--Fluorine is widely added to drinking water today strictly as mass-

medication, supposedly to help the teeth of children under 14 years

of age.

 

In spite of the initial stated purpose of " helping the teeth of

children under 14 " , our military bases were among the first drinking

water supplies to be involuntarily fluoridated over 40 years ago.

 

Over 60% of the U.S. fresh water supplies are currently fluoridated,

and according to pro-fluoride promotional literature, current plans

are to increase this to over 90% within just a few years.

 

 

--Note the following entry in an EPA/NIOSH (National Institute of

Occupational Safety and Health)

 

Hazardous Waste book, on page 3066 under SODIUM FLUORIDE:

 

" An experimental tumorigen [deliberately used to cause cancer in

laboratory experiments] and teratogen [deliberately used to cause

monstrous abnormalities in lab experiments].

--In the same reference, page 1735 under FLUORIDES:

 

" Can cause or aggravate attacks of asthma and severe bone changes,

making normal movements painful.

 

Some signs of pulmonary fibrosis are noted.

 

Some enzyme systems effects are reported.

 

Loss of weight, anorexia [loss of appetite], anemia, wasting and

cachexia [general wasting of the body during a chronic disease],

 

and dental defects are among the common findings in chronic fluoride

poisoning.

 

Symptoms of intoxication include gastric, intestinal, circulatory,

respiratory and nervous complaints and skin rashes. "

 

 

FLUORIDE

A FLUORIDE is a combination of the chemical element Fluorine with

some other substance.

 

 

Sodium fluoride, a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of

aluminum, is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons,

anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, military nerve gas, and

U.S. drinking water.

 

 

Advertisements by Alcoa Aluminum recommending that we add sodium

fluoride to our drinking water supply, can be found in old

periodicals dated BEFORE fluoridation was officially approved by the

authorities.

 

Fluoride promoter Oscar Ewing, head of the Federal Security Agency

(FSA) senior to the U.S. Public Health Service in 1951, left the

employ of Alcoa Aluminum not long before he headed up the U.S.

fluoridation campaign in the early 1950's. (Follow the money)

 

 

Toxic sodium fluoride and its more toxic fluorinated cousins like

potassium fluoride have historically been quite expensive to properly

and safely dispose of, until around 1950 when some industries with an

overabundance of this toxic waste actually convinced the public on

the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of selling it to

the public at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our fresh water

supply, and then DRINKING it.

 

 

Yes, a 20,000% markup: Fluoride--intended originally for human

consumption only by children under 14 years of age--is injected into

our drinking water supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm), but

since we only drink approximately 1/2 of one percent of the total

water supply, the rest literally goes down the drains as a free

hazardous-waste disposal site for the chemical industry, where we PAY

them for the " privilege " of flushing their expensive hazardous wastes

down our sewers.

 

How many salesmen dream of such a deal? (Follow the money.)

 

 

Independent scientific evidence over the past 50 years reveals that

fluoride allegedly shortens our life span, promotes cancer and

various mental disturbances, accelerates osteoporosis and broken hips

in old folks, and makes us stupid, docile, and subservient, all in

one package. One broad study found a direct relationship between

areas that were fluoridated, and reports of hip fractures among the

elderly.

 

 

Fluorine has a natural affinity for calcium.

 

(Sodium fluoride rat poison rapidly alters the calcium metabolism of

the body, rapidly destroys enzyme activity, and severely interferes

with functions of the nerve channels.)

 

The most common form of fluorine in nature is Calcium Fluoride,

commonly called Fluor-spar. Fluor-spar is relatively stable, and

thus is less toxic than the man-made toxic-waste derivations of

fluorine.

 

However, even calcium fluoride causes adverse reactions in humans,

depending upon how much fluorine is released.

 

 

Take India, for example. Due to the fact that millions of people in

India are afflicted with fluorosis (excessive fluoride disease) such

as malformed spine, neck and pelvis, weakened tooth structure and

mottled or discolored teeth, there have been much more thorough

scientific studies performed in India on fluoridated water, than in

the West.

 

 

In an extensive government-sponsored study Dr. A.K. Susheela of the

India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, found that

(contrary to American Dental Association literature) fluoride

severely disrupts the formation of the bone matrix, thereby

inhibiting the proper hardening of bones.

 

 

Dr. Susheela's work was so stunning and so conclusive that in 1986 it

prompted the Indian government to authorize the construction of

defluoridation plants for their drinking water.

 

The top-priority for India's defluoridation campaign is pregnant

women and young breast-fed children.

 

The studies conclusively showed that high levels of fluoride in

drinking water are clearly associated with birth defects,

stillbirths, and early infant mortality.

 

 

Dr. Susheela developed a blood test which enables early detection of

fluoride toxicity before bone and teeth disorders became irreversible.

 

 

India's responsible research on fluoride toxicity is a properly

ethical, up-to-date scientific model, which contrasts strongly with

irresponsible and authoritarian fluoridation policy in the West which

is based on unethical, low scientific standards and high political

opinion.

 

Our major policy decisions demonstrably hinge upon nothing more than

emotionally-charged debate where an " expert " dentist endorses

an " expert " doctor who refers to " thousands of fluoride studies " in a

closed loop like a snake swallowing its own tail, meanwhile neither

of them has done their real homework on the subject or they would

find that the " thousands of studies " refuting harm FACTUALLY DO NOT

EXIST.

 

 

$20,000 REWARD FOR ANY PROOF THAT FLUORIDE WORKS.

 

Dr. Robert Mick, DDS, was one of the original scientists who

promoted fluoridation, until he did his own animal studies on sodium

fluoride in the late 1940's and then abruptly changed his mind after

authorities ordered him to cover up his test results.

 

He refused, and proceeded to do some more research on those very

authorities.

 

 

Dr. Mick's studies prompted him to confidently present this challenge:

 

" $20,000 to the first individual who can provide one copy of any

controlled experiment with any of the U.S. Public Health Service

(USPHS) recommended fluorides in water, at the USPHS recommended

parts-per-million, which shows that poisonous fluorides are safe and

will cause no future body harm. "

 

 

Dr. Mick's $20,000 offer has been valid since the 1950's, but per a

1991 radio interview, Dr. Mick said that nobody had yet presented

even one claim to him in hopes of collecting the reward.

 

His address is 916 Stone Road, Laurel Springs, New Jersey. He put

his money where his mouth is, with no takers.

 

 

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND FLUORIDE:

There are reports of aluminum in the brain possibly being a causative

factor in Alzheimer's Disease. Evidence points towards fluoride's

strong affinity for aluminum and also its ability to " trick " the

blood-brain barrier by looking like the hydrogen ion, and thus

allowing an easy chemical access to brain tissue.

 

 

Evidently Alzheimer's Disease came along after people started using

aluminum cookware. Isabel Jansen, R.N., wrote of a simple experiment

regarding the use of aluminum pots, where you can easily prove for

yourself that both the aluminum and the fluoride content in water

both increase dramatically, when combined:

 

 

" In January 1987, experiments performed at the Medical Research

Endocrinology Dept., Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and the Physics

Dept of the Univ. of Ruhana, Sri Lanka, showed that fluoridated water

at 1 ppm, when used in cooking in aluminum cookware, concentrated the

aluminum up to 600 ppm, whereas water without fluoride did not.

(Science News, 131:73)

 

(Note: Why wasn't this simple test ever financed and done in the

U.S.?)

 

 

" The researchers suggested that because of the known fact that

aluminum is neuro-toxic and is in abnormally high concentrations in

the brain of Alzheimer's and other neurological disease victims,

including AIDS, that these findings raise questions about adding

fluoride to the water supply of communities to reduce tooth decay.

 

 

" Because of these findings, a test was made of Antigo, Wisconsin

water which had been fluoridated for 33 years.

 

The water was examined by a certified Wisconsin laboratory, and

showed that when it was used in cooking in aluminum cookware, it

concentrated the aluminum by 833 times and increased the fluoride

content by 100%.

 

 

" The maximum allowed aluminum content of water is set by the World

Health Organization at 200 micrograms per liter.

 

This makes Antigo water, when cooked in aluminum, 75 times over the

maximum.

No test was made of distilled water, as the Antigo Water Dept. does

not dispense distilled water.

 

 

Antigo water pipes are also encrusted with (calcified) fluoride from

26 to 3,100 ppm.

 

This latter was analyzed and diagnosed by the Wisconsin Dept of

Hygiene as being aluminum fluoride.

 

Regardless of which findings are true, to chance exchanging a hole

in a tooth---which can be repaired at a nominal fee---for dementia

(organic brain disorder) in later years, for which there is no remedy

at any price, hardly seems to be a good bargain.

 

 

" Therefore, it would seem imperative that other communities test

their water in the same manner to see if it produces the same

results, as tests may vary depending on the mineral variations of the

water and the type of aluminum cookware. This simple test can be done

by anyone, with the help of a laboratory to do the analysis. "

 

ISABEL JANSEN, R.N. (Journal of the National Academy of Research

Biochemists - Jan/Feb '90)

Legitimate scientists who have repeatedly attempted to blow the

whistle on the mega-bucks fluoride PR scam have consistently been

given a very unscientific Black-PR treatment, and thus their valid

facts disputing the current vested interests never arrived in the

press. (Follow the money.)

 

 

THE ORIGINAL FLUORIDATION CAMPAIGN

In 1952 a slick PR campaign was initiated, headed by Oscar Ewing who

was once an Alcoa Aluminum attorney and spurred on by a dentist named

Bull.

 

This campaign ramrodded the concept of water fluoridation through

our national Public Health departments and various national and local

dental organizations.

 

The campaign was better described as a highly-emotional " beer-

salesman's convention " instead of the objective scientific experiment

which it should properly have been.

 

Fluoridation has continued in that same emotional, unscientific vein

right up to present time.

 

 

To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of this issue,

take an honest, objective look at the response given by people when

the subject of fluoridation comes up.

 

By all means, ask your dentist. Ask yourself honestly, " Is this

response UNBIASED AND OPENLY-INTERESTED SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVITY, or is

it PREJUDICED EMOTIONAL BLUSTER? "

 

 

There is a tremendous amount of emotional subjective opinion attached

to fluoridation. Ask an MD about the possible toxic effects of

fluoride, and instead of correctly referring you to a toxicologist,

he'll respond that he trusts his dental colleagues who say that

fluoride is not toxic.

 

Ask a dentist, and he'll respond that he trusts whatever he was told

in dental school. Both have convincing answers which whitewash this

toxic hazardous waste and make it sound as if it is a vitamin or a

nutrient, but keep in mind that both of those opinions are only from

vested-interest individuals who receive a VERY GOOD standard of

living that is strictly dependent upon the illness of others.

 

 

They might have a good heart and they probably do, but even they

cannot deny that their professional training from day one, came from

a vested interest that endorses giving them attractive kick-back

benefits and vacations etc. for their referrals to expensive drug

prescriptions and medical procedures.

 

Seen from the standpoint of the pharmaceutical industry, it's quite

handy and profitable to have virtually ALL doctors and dentists

voluntarily standing up for them and being their well-paid

professional " agents " in the community at large.

 

They don't even have to PAY their own agents, but the " victims " do!

The only visibility the vested-interests have is their incessant

multi-million-dollar TV drug commercials which they hammer the public

with, day and night.

 

 

Many truly independent (unattached to any vested-interest) scientists

who've spent a large portion of their lives studying and working with

this subject have received a surprising amount of uncalled-for and

unfair character assassination from strong vested-interest groups who

profit from the public's ignorance, as well as from their illnesses.

As they say, " It's only business. "

 

 

DIABETICS SHOULD NOT DRINK FLUORIDATED WATER:

There are reportedly more than 11 million Americans with diabetes.

Since many diabetics drink more liquids than other people, then

according to the Physicians Desk Reference these 11 million Americans

probably shouldn't drink fluoridated water, because in doing so,

they'll receive an excessive dose of fluoride, which is also

accumulative in the body.

 

 

Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of the kidneys,

which is your main route of fluoride elimination. People with kidney

disease also shouldn't drink fluoridated water.

 

Cases are on record (Annapolis, Maryland, 1979) where kidney

patients on dialysis machines died, due to a fluoride overdose in the

city water supply.

 

There is no data as to what effects " standard " fluoridated water

causes to kidney patients on dialysis, but this should be highly

questioned.

 

 

WHEN DID THIS FLUORIDATION MADNESS BEGIN?

The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water was found in

Germany's Nazi prison camps, which were maintained partly by I.G.

Farben. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's supposed

effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating

water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force them

into calm submission. (Ref. book: " The Crime and Punishment of I.G.

Farben " by Joseph Borkin.)

 

 

I.G. FARBEN DEVELOPED FLUORINATED SARIN AND SOMAN NERVE GAS: The

name " SARIN " is an acronym of the names of the four key I.G. Farben

employees involved in its initial chemical formulation and

production: Schrader, Ambros, Rudriger, and Van Der Linde. Otto

Ambros was the production chief of I.G. Farben's poison gas

facilities in Germany. (See Ambros' photo on p. 286 of " World Without

Cancer " by G. Edward Griffin.)

 

 

Sarin was developed to replace deadly Malathion and Zyklon B nerve

gases, specifically with the intent to exterminate millions of

people. Fluoride-bearing Sarin was reportedly so strong, " it made

Zyklon B look like underarm deodorant. " (The Dickinson

Statement, " Health Consciousness " , October 1988)

PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONY:

The following letter was received by the Lee Foundation for

Nutritional Research, Milwaukee Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954, from

Mr. Charles Perkins, a chemist:

 

" I have your letter of September 29 asking for further documentation

regarding a statement made in my book, The Truth About Water

Fluoridation, to the effect that the idea of water fluoridation was

brought to England from Russia by the Russian Communist Kreminoff.

 

 

" In the 1930's, Hitler and the German Nazi's envisioned a world to be

dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The

German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of

mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General

Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area

through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method

they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population

by water medication that would produce sterility in women, and so on.

In this scheme of mass-control, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent

place. ...

 

 

" Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time

reduce an individual's power to resist domination, by slowly

poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making

him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. [A

convenient invisible lobotomy]

 

 

" The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit

children's teeth.

 

If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could

be done that are much easier, cheaper, and far more effective.

 

The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the

resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of

liberty.

 

" When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go into Poland, both the

German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged

scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme

of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the

Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to

communize the world. ...

 

 

" I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an

official of the great Farben chemical industries and was also

prominent in the Nazi movement at the time.

 

I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who

has spent nearly 20 years' research into the chemistry, biochemistry,

physiology and pathology of fluorine--any person who drinks

artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will

never again be the same person mentally or physically. " CHARLES E.

PERKINS, Chemist, 2 October 1954.

 

 

Quoting Einstein's nephew, Dr. E.H. Bronner (a chemist who had also

been a prisoner of war during WWII) in a letter printed in The

Catholic Mirror, Springfield, MA, January 1952:

 

 

" It appears that the citizens of Massachusetts are among the 'next'

on the agenda of the water poisoners.

 

 

" There is a sinister network of subversive agents,

Godless 'intellectual' parasites, working in our country today whose

ramifications grow more extensive, more successful and more alarming

each new year and whose true objective is to demoralize, paralyze and

destroy our great Republic--

from within if they can, according to their plan--for their own

possession.

 

 

" The tragic success they have already attained in their long siege to

destroy the moral fiber of American life is now one of their most

potent footholds towards their own ultimate victory over us.

 

 

" Fluoridation of our community water systems can well become their

most subtle weapon for our sure physical and mental deterioration. ...

 

" As a research chemist of established standing, I built within the

past 22 years, 3 American chemical plants and licensed 6 of my 53

patents.

 

Based on my years of practical experience in the health-food and

chemical field, let me warn: fluoridation of drinking water is

criminal insanity, sure national suicide. Don't do it.

 

" Even in small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to

which no effective antidote has been found.

 

Every exterminator knows that it is the most efficient rat-killer....

 

Sodium fluoride is entirely different from organic calcium-fluoro-

phosphate needed by our bodies and provided by nature, in God's great

providence and love, to build and strengthen our bones and our teeth.

 

This organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate, derived from proper foods, is

an edible organic salt, insoluble in water and assimilable by the

human body, whereas the non-organic sodium fluoride used in

fluoridating water is instant poison to the body and fully water

soluble. The body refuses to assimilate it.

 

" Careful, bonafide laboratory experimentation by conscientious,

patriotic research chemists, and actual medical experience, have both

revealed that instead of preserving or promoting 'dental health,'

fluoridated drinking water destroys teeth, before adulthood and

after, by the destructive mottling and other pathological conditions

it actually causes in them, and also creates many other very grave

pathological conditions in the internal organisms of bodies consuming

it. How can it be called a " health " plan? What's behind it?

 

 

" That any so-called " doctors " would persuade a civilized nation to

add voluntarily a deadly poison to its drinking water systems is

unbelievable. It is the height of criminal insanity.

 

 

" No wonder Hitler and Stalin

fully believed and agreed from 1939 to 1941 that, quoting from both

Lenin's Last Will and Hitler's Mein

Kampf: " America we shall demoralize,

divide, and destroy from within. " ...

 

 

" Are our Civil Defense organizations and agencies awake to the perils

of water poisoning by fluoridation?

 

Its use has been recorded in other countries.

 

Sodium fluoride water solutions are the cheapest and most effective

rat killers known to chemists: colorless, odorless, tasteless; no

antidote, no remedy, no hope:

 

Instant and complete extermination of rats. ...

 

" Fluoridation of water systems can be slow national suicide, or quick

national liquidation. It is criminal insanity--treason! " Dr. E.H.

Bronner, Mfg. Research Chemist, Los Angeles.

EARLIEST AVAILABLE RUSSIAN FLUORIDE EVIDENCE:

 

" I, Oliver Kenneth Goff, was a member of the Communist Party and the

Young Communist League, from May 2, 1936, to October 9, 1939.

 

During this period of time, I operated under the alias of John Keats

with number 18-B-2. My testimony before the Government is in Volume 9

of the Un-American Activities Report for 1939.

 

" While a member of the Communist Party, I attended Communist training

schools in New York and Wisconsin ... and we were trained in the

revolutionary overthrow of the U.S. Government. "

 

.... We discussed quite thoroughly the fluoridation of water supplies

and how we were using it in Russia as a tranquilizer in the prison

camps.

 

The leaders of our school felt that if it could be induced into the

American water supply, it would bring about a

 

spirit of lethargy in the nation, where it could keep the general

public docile during a steady encroachment of Communism.

 

We also discussed the fact that keeping a store of deadly fluoride

near the water reservoir would be advantageous during the time of the

revolution, as it would give us opportunity to dump this poison into

the water supply and either kill off the populace or threaten them

with liquidation, so that they would surrender to obtain fresh water.

 

 

" We discussed in these schools, the complete art of revolution: the

seizure of the main utilities, such as light, power, gas, and water,

but it was felt by the leadership that if a program of fluoridating

of the water could be carried out in the nation, it would go a long

way toward the advancement of the revolution. " The above statements

are true. " Oliver Kenneth Goff.

(Signed & notarized 6/22/57.)

 

 

20 years after Mr. Goff was indoctrinated on the Communist purposes

of fluoridating U.S. water supplies, in New York there appeared an

article in the 13 April 1956 issue of THE COMMUNIST DAILY WORKER

entitled " Facts Spur Campaign for Fluoridation Here " :

 

 

" Politicians of the [New York] City Council and Board of Estimate are

timid men who are catering to misguided sentiment, outmoded

tradition, and backward fears of the unscientific.

 

A widespread educational campaign among both the politicians and

people on the value of the Board of Health's program for fluoridation

is certainly indicated. "

 

Note that the DAILY WORKER was commonly used to give widespread

advice to all Communists in America.

 

Therefore the above article was official Party line instructions on

how to stigmatize people who opposed fluoridation as

being " misguided " , " outmoded " , " backward " , and " unscientific. "

Incidentally, a review of current ADA literature on how to handle

opponents to fluoridation parrots that same Party line even today,

almost word-for-word.

 

Pure coincidence of course. (Follow the money.)

 

 

Just for practice, read the above news quote aloud to a friend, and

you'll figure out for yourself if the Communists were only humanely

concerned about the dental health of our American children, in 1956.

 

 

AMERICA SENT RAT POISON TO STALIN'S SIBERIAN PRISONERS, VIA LEND-

LEASE:

 

Russia's use of sodium fluoride during World War II was entered into

the Congressional Record in the early 1950's.

USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity

committees of Congress that he had been stationed in Great Falls,

Montana during the war as a U.S.-Soviet liaison officer.

 

 

Major Jordan stated that one of his tasks had been to procure " vast

quantities " of sodium fluoride for shipment to Siberia via numerous

Lend-Lease airplanes which we were sending to Russia from Montana,

via Canada and Alaska. (7,926 airplanes were sent to Russia via this

route.)

 

Major Jordan testified that the Russians openly admitted to

 

" ... using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration

camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient. "

 

 

Of related interest, regarding " follow the money " : In his book, " From

Major Jordan's Diaries " (Doubleday & Co, 1952), Major Jordan gives

dates and shipment numbers of our generous Lend-Lease program's many

illicit shipments of secret U.S. documents and ATOMIC MATERIALS,

including a whopping 1,200 POUNDS of CONCENTRATED URANIUM ORE--plus 2

pounds of refined uranium and some heavy water--in 1943, to Stalin

via the Lend-Lease airplanes and ships which we freely gave to Russia.

 

This was thanks to Mr. Harry Hopkins, who headed the Lend-Lease

Program and who had an office in Roosevelt's White House.

 

It was a surprise to America when the Russians detonated their first

atomic bomb test in 1947, but few Americans knew that generous and

treasonous donations of nuclear blueprints (some plainly

labeled " Manhattan Project " ) and raw materials to the Soviets

actually began in 1943.

 

(More data on this treason can be found in the recent book " Dark

Sun - The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb " by Richard Rhodes.)

 

 

How expensive is uranium today? July 23, 1994: The Austin Texas

American Statesman ran an article describing how Istanbul, Turkey

police had recently seized 22 pounds of uranium, believed to have

been smuggled from a former Soviet republic.

 

The estimated value of those 22 pounds of uranium was $825 million.

Given that, then what was the value of the 1,200 pounds of

concentrated uranium ore (plus frills) that our Lend-Lease program

freely gave to Stalin in 1943?

 

History tells us that this supremely treasonous action headed by

Harry Hopkins was a major long-term cause of the tremendously

expensive (but highly profitable for the self-serving defense

industry) cold war which changed our national debt graph into an

exponential curve.

 

Quoting a State Department report dated June 1944, prepared by our

USSR Ambassador Averell Harriman, " Stalin paid tribute to the

assistance rendered by the United States to Soviet industry before

and during the war.

 

He said that about two-thirds of all large industrial enterprise in

the Soviet Union had been built with United States help or technical

assistance. " (Following the money, Averill Harriman was also the head

of Brown Brothers Harriman Bank, the largest privately-held bank in

the world. The record shows that both Harriman and his Managing Prescott Bush--George's dad--in the early 1930's had been

instrumental in financing Adolph Hitler, and also had strong

financial connections with I.G. Farben. Details can be found in

GEORGE BUSH: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY, by Anton Chaitkin and

Webster Tarpley.)

 

 

FLUORIDE POLITICS

 

1952: The Delaney Committee 82nd Congress Hearings on Fluoride

revealed that there was no actual scientific basis for the

fluoridation of water supplies in the prevention of tooth decay.

 

The recommendation of the Committee was that more research be done,

before proceeding with this national mass medication.

 

Their recommendation was totally ignored.

 

1953: In a joint speech, U.S. Surgeon-General Scheele and Health,

Education & Welfare Undersecretary Nelson (follow the money)

Rockefeller announced hopeful plans to put more medicine than just

fluoride into the U.S. water supplies:

 

" Dr. Scheele, in discussing mass-application methods for preventing

non-infectious diseases, said a case in point was fluoridation of

water supplies to reduce tooth decay.

 

Nearly 800 cities throughout the country have adopted the technique

during the past 10 years, he said. Such a community-wide attack

on " far more serious diseases than dental decay " probably will be

forthcoming after laboratory tests have paved the way, he predicted. "

(Paterson Evening News, 11/6/53)

 

 

1950's comment by Edward L. Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud and PR

man for the fluoridation project under Oscar Ewing: " ... the most

direct way to reach the mind of the HERD is through the leaders. ...

Public Health Officers cannot afford the professional modesty

professed by physicians.

 

A redefinition of ethics is necessary.... and the subject matter of

the propaganda need not necessarily be true. " (Book: Crystallizing

Public Opinion, by E. L. Bernays.)

 

 

VALID SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS NEVER BECOME OUTDATED

 

The first available ADA Journal entry on fluoride was in 1936.

 

Here are a few quotes from that issue (#23, pages 569-570, 1936):

(Fluorine is not an essential nutrient):

 

" Studies by Sharpless and McCollum (Sharpless, G.R. and McCollum,

E.V.: Journal of Nutrition, 6:163 March 1933) furnish information

regarding the biological role of fluorine.

 

They found that young rats (aged from 16 to 18 days) contain little,

if any, fluorine, whereas, adult rats have considerable fluorine in

the bones and teeth, the amount varying with the diet fed, and

increasing with age. "

 

" By feeding rats an experimental diet in which care was taken to keep

the fluorine content at a minimum, the following observations were

made: Reproduction was unaffected; the fluorine content of the bones

could be " reduced to between 6 and 25 ppm, and could be eliminated

from the teeth, without showing any gross deleterious effect " and no

change was produced in the calcium to phosphorus ratio in the bones.

 

This evidence supports the idea that fluorine plays no important

useful biologic role. "

 

 

" On the contrary, there is an increasing volume of evidence of the

injurious effects of fluorine, especially the chronic intoxication

resulting from the ingestion of minute amounts of fluorine over long

periods of time.

 

The studies conducted by Dr. Smith and her co-workers at the Univ.

of Arizona have shown that 1 ppm, and possibly .8 PPM of fluorine

will produce definite signs of enamel dystrophy in children born and

reared in an endemic [peculiar to a people or nation] area. "

 

" Such data enable us to calculate the approximate dosage of fluorine

per unit of body weight per day, capable of producing a definite

degree of tooth injury in the majority of children.

 

During the first six years of life, the body weight ranges from

approximately 7 pounds at birth to about 40 pounds at the age of 6.

 

The average weight during this period is about 25 pounds, or 12 kg.

 

If it is assumed that the average daily water intake is 1 quart, or

1 liter, a fluorine content of .8 PPM would mean a lifetime fluorine

intake of .8 milligrams per day, which for 12 kg. of body weight

would be .07 mg. per day, per kilogram of body weight. " [Note: Actual

intake in the 1990's is twice that amount.]

 

" It is interesting to compare this value for the injurious fluorine

dosage, with the values that have been determined experimentally for

lead and arsenic in the white rat.

 

Lead acetate added to the food will check the growth and appetite of

the white rat, when a dosage of from .7 micrograms to 150 micrograms

per day per kilogram of body weight is administered.

 

This wide dosage range is due to variation in susceptibility of the

rats and to variation in the severity of the symptoms.

 

Addition of arsenic trioxide to the food causes loss of body weight

in the white rat when the dosage is from 1.5 to 5 micrograms per

kilogram of body weight per day.

 

Such a comparison of toxicity data suggests that fluorine, lead and

arsenic belong to the same group, as far as ability to cause some

symptom of toxicity in minute dosage is concerned.

 

Thus far, the ability of fluorine to induce chronic intoxication

when administered in minute amounts over long periods of time has

been considered. "

 

" Let us now pass on to the general actions of fluorine and its action

on bones and teeth. Fluorine, a general protoplasmic poison, exerts a

strong inhibitory action on many enzymes.

 

The more complex inorganic compounds containing fluorine are

frequently toxic because of a direct action of the compound itself,

or because of a conversion of the complex compound, as by hydrolysis

[changing by taking up the elements of water], into simpler

compounds, such as the simpler fluorides. "

 

 

" Similarly, many organic compounds containing fluorine are toxic

because of a liberation of fluorine in the presence of protoplasm

[the substance--fluids, cells, etc.--that is the physical basis of

life].

 

Moreover, even in the absence of such disintegration of the organic

molecule with liberation of fluorine, the presence of fluorine in the

molecule often enhances the toxicity of an organic compound.

 

It has been shown by Lehmann (Lehmann, F.: Arch f. Exper. Path. u.

Pharmakol., 130:250, 1928) that the introduction of fluorine into the

side chain of aromatic compounds, such as toluene and m-toluidine,

increased the toxicity to frogs.

 

The toxic effect of fluorine compounds on yeast has been studied by

Effront (Effront, J.: 1892, Jrnl Chem. Society, A. 1532, 1891; A.

905, 1892; A. II, 425, 1894.) and by Arthus and Gavelle. (Arthus and

Gavelle: Compt. Rend. Society de Biol., 55:1481, 1903) "

 

 

--That wasn't the end of the ADA Journal reference, but you get the

idea.

 

In spite of such valid early studies reported in the ADA Journal,

the ADA and USPHS scientific opinion was later regulated more by

lobbyists than by scientists, on the fluoride issue.

 

Their literature of today emphatically indicates that as long as

your teeth are free of cavities, the longevity of the rest of your

body is not open for discussion.

 

The carefully-biased literature repeatedly and exclusively hammers

the dental benefit point, meanwhile carefully avoiding references to

any bodily toxic load, or what the huge quantity of fluorides are

doing to the environment.

 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL RULE OF THUMB: 130 LETHAL DOSES OF FLUORIDE PER PERSON,

ANNUALLY

 

 

Think this through:

--Fluoride slowly accumulates in our bodies as well as in the

environment.

 

It doesn't just blow away in the wind, nor get easily expelled in

the urine.

 

It first goes to the bone, then to the teeth, then to the hard

tissue such as cartilage, tendons, and blood vessel walls, and

finally what's left over gets excreted via the kidneys.

 

Approximately 50% of the fluorine ingested, remains and accumulates

in the body.

 

 

--Fluoride cannot be removed from drinking water with a charcoal

filter; only a reverse-osmosis filter or steam distilling process

will remove fluoride. Boiling water for soup, coffee, tea or other

drink, only concentrates fluoride.

 

 

--Approximately 1,200 mg (1.2 grams) of sodium fluoride ( " just a

pinch " ) will kill an adult human being.

 

That was the low estimate that Dominic Smith ingested when he died

from an overdose of fluoridated water at Hooper Bay, Alaska on 23 May

1992. (Approximately 200 mg will kill a small child.)

 

 

--Water utility companies advertise that they supply us with

approximately 115 gallons of fresh water per person, per day. That's

approximately 400 liters per person, daily.

 

--Humans only drink approximately one-fourth of one percent of the

fresh water supplied by the water utility companies.

 

Therefore, for every 400 liters per person that gets supplied, just

1 liter get swallowed in food or drink (including coffee, juice, soda

pop, soups or any other beverage made with fluoridated water), while

the other 399 liters of water goes for baths, watering lawns, washing

cars, flushing toilets, putting out fires, etc.

 

 

--In the fluoridation process at the water treatment plant, fluoride

is added to our water supply at the rate of one part per million, or

1 milligram per liter.

 

One milligram is the daily intended " target dose " of this medicine,

for each child under 14 years of age whose teeth haven't yet fully

formed.

 

(Adults and pets supposedly don't count in this equation, even

though they also receive their own fluoride in extremely unreliable

and varying dosages.)

 

Therefore, for every 400 liters of water supplied to us, a full 400

milligrams of fluoride is added to the water supply.

 

However, since only 1 milligram of that amount (one liter of water)

is swallowed, 399 milligrams of excess fluoride literally gets

flushed down into the sewer or sprayed out onto the ground as a fully

legal toxic waste dumping ground.

 

Since we even bought the toxic waste, that's quite profitable for

whomever manufactured and sold it, but not very healthy for Mother

Earth.

 

 

--BOTTOM-LINE LETHAL QUANTITY: Exactly how many lethal doses are

disseminated in this manner?

 

Simple math on the above numbers reveals that 140 grams of fluoride

per person is dumped into the environment each year.

 

140 grams of fluoride gives us our rule of thumb of 130 LETHAL DOSES

OF FLUORIDE PER PERSON, PER YEAR, DUMPED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT

wherever " standard " water fluoridation is used.

 

 

--Multiply 130 by 150 million people (the total number of U.S.

population currently drinking fluoridated water) and that makes 20

billion lethal doses of fluoride per year, dumped into our

environment.

 

That's an additive 10 million tons of rat-poison spread across

America yearly, in the name of dental health.

 

What does this actually do to the environment? Some small animals,

such as chinchillas, have a low tolerance for fluoridated water. Note

this 1964 letter from Mr. R.J. Marshall, in British Columbia:

 

 

" AN OPEN LETTER TO RESIDENTS OF THE OKANAGAN:

 

Dear fellow citizens; I have been a chinchilla rancher in Kelowna

since 1952.

 

My herd was healthy and prolific until the introduction of sodium

fluoride into Kelowna domestic water.

 

In the first year I noticed no ill effects.

 

After the first year the animals began to die in increasing numbers,

and the offspring of such parents proved sterile.

 

As time went on more and more of the animals died soon after birth.

 

By the year 1964 not only was the birth rate of my herd extremely

low but 72 percent of those born failed to survive.

 

My herd was then completely bankrupt. "

 

 

" Another breeder moved into the Kelowna fluoridated area from

unfluoridated East Kelowna and his losses were parallel to mine.

 

When by chance we compared notes we discovered that losses to both

had commenced after our herds had consumed fluoridated water.

 

My friend never had any such trouble before.

 

Both of us had been successful breeders, and we are both officers of

the Chinchilla Breeders Association.

 

When we realized the cause of our troubles we began feeding our

chinchillas water that is not polluted with sodium fluoride.

 

Now with pure water we are recovering from our difficulties; but I

had to acquire new stock because most of my surviving animals were

permanently sterile. "

 

 

" We learned, by comparing notes with experienced people all over the

continent, that our losses are by no means the first in fluoridation

history.

 

It is common knowledge among U.S. chinchilla breeders that

chinchillas can not tolerate fluoridated water.

 

This is also true of hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, rats, and rabbits.

 

They become sterile and die if they are fed sodium fluoride

indefinitely, at " recommended " concentrations and even lower. ... "

 

 

What evidence is there of environmental pollution causing problems

more close to home?

 

Note USA Today's 28 May, 1993 article entitled DECREASING SPERM

COUNTS BLAMED ON ENVIRONMENT:

 

" Dramatic drops in sperm counts in the past few decades may be due

to rising levels of environmental estrogen, as well as substances

that act like estrogen, a new report says.

 

The amount of sperm produced by the average man has dropped by half

in the last 50 years, say researchers in the medical journal

LANCET. ... "

 

 

It takes no huge stretch of the imagination to offer fluorides as a

possible factor in the above equation, considering the quantity of

fluorides currently being distributed as well as their known similar

effect on living organisms.

 

 

There are only several hundred registered toxicologists in the entire

country.

 

The subject of fluoride is actually the home territory of

toxicologists rather than dentists or doctors, but note that the

fluoride promoters never use toxicologists as a reference

 

because toxicologists (who are bright enough to know that God isn't

stupid enough to have created man with an inherent deficiency of rat

poison, and who have seen what rat poison actually does to rats, and

who are usually quite independent of vested interests) are almost

uniformly against fluoridation.

 

Just locate some toxicologists, and ASK them.

 

 

INTERESTING FLUORIDE QUOTES

 

 

" Fluorides are violent poisons to all living tissue because of their

precipitation of calcium.

 

They cause fall of blood pressure, respiratory failure, and general

paralysis.

 

Continuous ingestion of non-fatal doses causes permanent inhibition

of growth. " (U.S. Dispensatory, 24th Edition, pp. 1456-57.)

 

 

" Although it is true that the enamel of adult teeth is unaffected by

fluorine, the dentine, which receives nutrients from the blood stream

continually and whose composition is subject to change, will suffer.

 

... An inhibitory effect on the action of enzymes, characteristic of

antiseptics in general, is a property of all inorganic fluorides.

 

Evidence has been established that there is a specific influence of

fluorides on certain enzymatic changes associated with carbohydrates

and fats.

 

The results of a study conducted by Kastle and Loevenhart on the

effect of antiseptics on the reactions of pancreatic and liver

extracts revealed a harmful effect on most substances studied.

 

... Solutions of sodium fluoride with a fluorine content as low as 1

part in 15 million may inhibit the action of the lipase (pancreatic

juice) as much as 50 percent. "

 

(THE MENACE OF FLUORINE TO HEALTH, Univ. of New Mexico, 1 Aug 1938,

pages 19-21.)

 

 

" Fluorine is known to be an enzymatic inhibitor which interferes with

metabolism of breakdown of glucose, between the 6 carbon and 3 carbon

compounds.

 

The metabolim of glucose or its breakdown is our primary source of

energy for maintaining life and doing useful work. "

(Dr. Paul H. Phillips, Univ of Wisconsin, Dept of Bichemistry)

 

 

>From proven experiments supported by the Medical Facility of the

Univ. of Praetoria, S. Africa:

 

" Long-continued ingestion of minute quantities of fluorine causes

disease of the thyroid gland. " (Dr. Doug D. Styne, Dept of

Pharmacology)

 

 

" We ought to go slowly. Everybody knows that fluorine and fluorides

are very poisonous substances and we use them in enzyme chemistry to

poison enzymes, those vital agents in the body.

 

That is the reason things are poisoned; because enzymes are

poisoned, and that is why animals and plants die. "

 

Mr. James B. Sumner, Director of Enzyme Chemistry, Department of

Biochemistry and Nutrition, Cornell University, and a Nobel Prize

winner for his work in the field of enzyme chemistry.

 

 

" It is known as a scientific fact that fluoride is a deadly poison to

enzymes, upon which all life depends. " Dr. J.J. Rae, 20-year

associate professor of chemistry, and Ph.D. in biochemistry and

organics, Univ. of Toronto.

 

 

" The fluoride ion exerts its toxic effect by inhibiting the action of

many enzyme systems. " Hugo Theorell, M.D., Nobel Prize winner for his

research in the field of enzyme chemistry.

 

 

" Contrary to what is widely assumed, the toxicity of fluoride is not

always related to concentration.

 

Under certain conditions fluoride toxicity actually increases as the

concentration decreases.

 

This is what is known as a paradoxical effect. " Albert Schatz,

Ph.D., M.C.R.S., Professor at the Univ. of Chile and co-discoverer of

streptomycin.

 

 

" The debate should not be the merits of fluoridation of the water

supply, which is a public health problem, but rather the ethical

aspects of universal fluoridation which creates an untenable

situation for those individuals who are intolerant to fluorides.

 

Do we have the moral right to create a situation from which the

intolerant individual has no escape?

 

The answer thus becomes very simple.

 

Each individual should be granted the option to choose fluoride

prophylaxis depending upon his need and tolerance.

 

You have my permission to state my position and quote me as against

universal fluoridation of the water supply. " Ben F. Feingold, M.D.,

Chief Emeritus, Department of Allergy, Kaiser Permanente Medical

Center, San Francisco Calif.

 

 

(Dr. Feingold headed an organization which cares for hyperactive

children, which has found, incidentally, that fluoride causes a

severe adverse reaction upon the nervous system of hyperactive

children.

 

Coincidentally, so-called " Attention-Deficit-Disorder " or " A.D.D. "

is a common misdiagnosis for hyperactive or overly-enthusiastic

children, and for which RITALIN is commonly prescribed. Thus, when a

hyperactive child has an adverse reaction to FLUORIDE, he's commonly

put on destructive RITALIN or fluoridated PROZAC as a " cure. " )

 

 

" It is of doubtful legality; it offends deep convictions concerning

doctoring without consent; it is against the medical tradition of

care for the individual; against the function of a public water

supply; against sane economics; against the considered opinion of

eminent nutritionists, biochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists,

allergists, toxicologists; above all, it is against natural caution

and common sense. " Dr. C. G. Dobbs, Prof. of Microbiology, Univ. of

North Wales, Associate Royal College of Science, formerly at King's

College, Univ. of London.

 

 

" The plain fact that fluorine is an insidious poison, harmful, toxic

and cumulative in its effects, even when ingested in minimal amounts,

will remain unchanged no matter how many times it will be repeated in

print that fluoridation of the water supply is 'safe'. " Ludwig Gross,

M.D., former Chief of Veterans Administration Cancer Research, Bronx,

NY.

 

 

THE TEXAS TOWN WITHOUT CAVITIES

An often-quoted study favoring fluoridation was done in the 1930's in

Hereford, Texas, once billed as " The Town Without Cavities " , but

there are flaws:

 

1. Hereford has a high level of naturally-occurring calcium fluoride

in the water, not sodium fluoride.

 

2. According to a letter from Dr. George Heard, the dentist in

Hereford, TX who initially promoted Hereford's lack of dental

cavities to the dental profession, even the naturally-occurring

calcium fluoride in the water supply in Hereford was damaging to

people's teeth.

 

After many years of dental practice and observation of dental

patients in Hereford, he concluded that fluoride was not beneficial.

 

Here is a 1954 letter from Dr. Heard:

" Hereford, Texas has been called the TOWN WITHOUT A TOOTH ACHE.

 

This is not true.

 

But the phrase has been used effectively by the people interested in

marketing SODIUM FLUORIDE all over the country.

 

...I believe that fluorine does in a mild way, retard cavities, but

I also believe that the damage it does is far greater than any good

it may appear to accomplish.

 

It even makes the teeth so brittle and crumbly they can be treated

only with difficulty, if at all.

 

The dental investigators who came to our county some fifteen years

ago did, in my opinion, make a serious mistake when they gave

fluorine the credit for our good teeth, and overlooked the quality of

food grown in our rich, well mineralized soil.

 

Every person I found who had no dental caries, consumed much milk.

 

Why use a poison, when correct food will maintain our bodies free

from diseases and tooth decay?

 

It is hellish and non-American to put poison in city water supplies

and force citizens to drink it. " George W. Heard, DDS, 15 March 1954.

 

 

PROBLEM: HOW TO GET RID OF A TOXIC HAZARDOUS WASTE?

 

 

In 1938, Dr. Gerald Cox, a research fellow of the Mellon Institute,

picked up the fluoride ball and began publicly promoting the addition

of sodium fluoride to public water systems, claiming that it would

reduce tooth decay.

 

The Mellons owned Alcoa, the Aluminum Company of America, who

stockpiled quantities of sodium fluoride as a hazardous waste.

 

Two major obstacles to Mr. Cox's promotional campaign were the AMA

and the ADA, whose initial position was that fluoride was strictly a

poison and that it shouldn't be introduced into the public water

supply as a mass-medication. (Reference: AMA Journal, 9/18/43 and ADA

Journal, 10/1/44)

 

 

Despite the initial warnings from the AMA and ADA, Dr. Cox enlisted

the help of a Wisconsin dentist, Dr. J.J. Fritsch, to promote

fluoridation of drinking water, and in early 1945 Grand Rapids,

Michigan was the first to fall for their story and fluoridate its

water supply.

 

In his crusade Dr. Fritsch enlisted the support of P.R. man, Dr.

Frank Bull, the Wisconsin State Dental Health Officer, who organized

political campaigns in order to persuade local officials to approve

fluoridation.

 

They applied constant lobbying pressure on both the ADA and the U.S.

Public Health Service (USPHS). Dr. Fritsch was reportedly a " non-stop

fanatic " on fluoridation. (Fluoridation the Great Dilemma, Waldbott,

p.258)

 

 

In 1945 both Grand Rapids, Michigan and Newburgh, New York were

artificially fluoridated with sodium fluoride in their drinking water

supply as an experimental procedure to see if fluoride actually would

improve dental health.

 

According to testimony of a 1952 Congressional Hearing on Fluoride,

the officials in charge of this " experiment " admitted that they

hadn't really had prior knowledge of artificial fluoridation with

sodium fluoride (versus naturally-occurring calcium fluoride),

 

if it would actually work, nor what side effects it would cause,

because the standard scientific laboratory method of first fully

testing with animals had been ignored and bypassed in this case of

sodium fluoride. (82nd Congress, 2nd Session, Report #2500 - 1952 -

House Select Committee)

 

 

The researchers' only prior knowledge was admittedly based upon

observations that in areas containing natural calcium fluoride (fluor-

spar) in the water, such as in parts of Texas and Colorado, tooth

decay appeared to be less prevalent. (No allowance was made for

excellent nutrition in these opinions.)

 

There were no prior studies made with the highly toxic sodium

fluoride, which was actually what they used for fluoridation.

 

Note that an " optimum " level of 1 PPM of natural calcium fluoride

 

in water was what they studied in Texas and Colorado, yet they then

dosed our drinking water with 1ppm of

 

the 20-times more toxic hazardous-waste sodium fluoride,

 

openly claiming that equal concentrations of each had exactly the

same effect on human health.

 

Thus even their starting premise was apples-versus-oranges.

 

 

The 1 PPM value was just picked at random because there were no tests

or studies showing exactly what was the " optimum " and because people

only supposedly drank one liter of water per day, and 1 milligram was

a " proper " daily dose for normal people with normal kidney function.

 

(It turns out that our actual average daily intake of fluoride is 2

mg, however.)

 

During the 1952 Delaney Committee Congressional Hearings, scientists

expressed concern that the dosage was much too high, especially for

children or people with diabetes or kidney disease.

 

Speculation was that before risking millions of lives in Grand Rapids

and Newburgh, artificial fluoridation with sodium fluoride was first

secretly tested on the population of U.S. prisons and/or military

bases, to see if 1 PPM would actually kill or injure anyone. (A

Freedom of Information Act research project?)

 

The Grand Rapids/Newburgh experimental study was originally set up

with the intention to last for a full 10 years, after which a proper

scientific evaluation of the collected data would have enabled a

proper, safe decision to be made regarding fluoridation of the rest

of America's drinking water.

 

However, the U.S. Public Health Service suddenly changed their minds.

 

In 1950, after only 5 years, it was discovered that while the cavity

rates had indeed gone down in Grand Rapids, cavity rates had also

gone down at a comparable rate in Muskegon, its control city,

supposedly because people were becoming more hygiene-conscious.

 

Muskegon was then promptly fluoridated to cover up the discrepancy,

and the Grand Rapids fluoridation project was advertised as an

unqualified success. (Fluoride the Aging Factor, P.104)

 

 

WHY WAS THE FLUORIDATION OF NEW TOWNS KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC?

 

Article from the Royal Oak Tribune, 1/21/59: " FLUORIDATION IS TOP

SECRET Lansing (AP) -- Seven more Michigan communities started

fluoridating their water last year, the state health department

reported today.

 

But the names of the communities are " top secret " as far as the

department is concerned.

 

'We made a policy of not giving out the names of those adding

fluoride, a couple of years ago,' said Dr. Fred Wertheimer, director

of the dentistry section.

 

'Local officials asked us not to make the announcements from here.

 

Communities are so split on fluoridation that they said they would

be barraged with letters and telephone calls from anti-fluoride

people.' "

 

 

MORE VALUABLE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE WAS IGNORED

 

 

June 1965: Quote from Alfred Taylor, Ph.D, in a scientific letter

appearing in the Oct. 2, 1965 issue of Saturday Review:

" ... My contact with fluoridation came about as a result of cancer

research.

 

In one project, various chemicals were added to the drinking water

of mice susceptible to cancer in order to check the responsibility

that some chemicals might delay the onset of the disease or prevent

it altogether.

 

Among the chemicals used in this research was sodium fluoride.

 

In the first two preliminary tests, the results obtained indicated

that mice drinking fluoridated water tended to develop cancer at an

earlier age as compared with control animals maintained on fluoride-

free water.

 

These earlier tests were followed by further investigations so that

altogether, twelve experiments involving 645 mice were used in this

research.

 

" The data indicated that drinking water with as little as 1 PPM

shortened the life span of mice an average of nine per cent.

 

This was true whether death was due to cancer or non-cancerous

diseases.

 

The only notice proponents of fluoridation gave to this work was to

discredit it as much as possible.

 

... In experiments where the drug was added directly to suspensions

of cancer tissue before inoculation into eggs or mice, sodium

fluoride stimulated the growth of cancer tissue in concentrations of

one part in more than 20 million.

 

Scientists at Cambridge University (British Medical Journal, Oct 26,

1963) discovered that concentrations of sodium fluoride as low as one

part in ten million inhibited the growth of a culture of human tissue.

 

... the growing weight of scientific evidence that water-borne

fluorides, even at 1 ppm, have toxic possibilities must finally be

recognized. "

ALFRED TAYLOR, Ph.D., Clayton Foundation, Biochemical Institute,

University of Texas, Austin Texas, 1965.

 

 

Some years later Dr. Taylor stated, " The terrifying conclusion of the

studies was that fluorine greatly induced a cancer tumor growth.

 

If doctors and the public can be made aware of this catastrophe,

fluoridation shall end quickly.

 

It will someday be recognized as the most lethal and stupid " Health

Program " ever conceived by the mind of man, witch doctors and blood-

letters not excepted. "

 

 

DELIBERATE LONG-TERM FLUORIDE OVERDOSE OF ALASKAN SCHOOL CHILDREN:

 

Keeping Dr. Taylor's findings and his above heartfelt plea in mind,

how can the following be justified by any sane scientist:

 

 

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services

publication " FLUORIDATION CENSUS 1985 " ,

 

which lists the current fluoridation levels of every fluoridated

area in the United States, for the entire year of 1985 the U.S.

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) deliberately over-fluoridated four

Alaskan village schools at the rate of FIVE PARTS PER MILLION,

instead of at the currently approved rate of 1 PPM.

 

The schools were Unalaska, St. Michael, Shishmaref, and Stebbins.

 

Why were these unsuspecting people being thus experimented upon?

 

How can five parts-per-million (a whopping 20 milligrams per gallon

of water) be justified?

 

Whatever the excuse, such covert slow genocide should be actionable

in a court of law.

 

That was just the 1985 record; previous years haven't yet been

checked.

 

(A subjective first-hand eyewitness observation, by this author, of

the people living in Stebbins and St. Michael in 1995 gave a definite

impression of a tragic spiritual wasteland;

 

something seemed very out-of-place with those people, almost like

looking into the haunted faces of prisoners in German death camps in

World War II. Go see for yourself.)

 

The EPA lists fluoride as a " contaminant. "

 

The above intentional long-term 5 PPM overdose of innocent native

schoolchildren occurred when the EPA's " Maximum Contaminant Level "

(MCL) allowable for fluoride was just 2.4 parts per million.

 

 

In the early 1990's there was talk of having the EPA reduce the MCL

of fluoride down to .4 PPM, due to recent studies that had connected

fluoride with cancer.

 

 

A challenge: Have some autonomous toxicologists with no special-

interest axe to grind, do an honest, unbiased and thorough long-term

scientific study of the residents of the above Alaskan towns.

 

Also include a study of the residents of Hooper Bay, Alaska, where

in May of 1992 a fluoride overdose severely poisoned 290 residents

and killed Dominic Smith.

 

(Since thirst is one of the fluoride overdose symptoms, Dominic just

kept drinking water until he poisoned himself.)

 

Study what has happened to the above people since fluoride became

part of their lives and include their physical, dental and mental

histories as part of the study.

 

Dental health is, after all, why this entire situation began.

 

 

If fluoridation was doing its job as advertised, then the dental

health of Alaskan natives would be quite acceptable, but that's just

the opposite of the way it really is.

 

Note this 12/17/90 article in the Ketchikan Daily News: " NORTH SLOPE

DENTAL HEALTH CALLED WORST IN U.S.

 

Examiners reported finding active cavities among Native children

aged 3 through 5 at three times the national average.

 

Nearly three-fourths of the 62 native elders aged 65 or older had no

teeth at all, the dental examiners said. ...

 

The study population represented 38 percent of the total number of

Alaskan Natives in the North Slope Borough. "

 

Examiners said 40 percent of elementary students had cavities, and

70 percent had cavities by the time they reached high school.

 

In spite of the above poor record, in 1991 the Director of the Alaska

Health and Social Services publicly stated, " . . . fluoride has

substantially improved the dental health of Alaska Native Children. "

 

What's wrong with this picture?

 

It's well-known that Alaskan natives today have almost the worst

dental health in the country, in spite of having been subjected to

fluoridated water for 40 years. (Incidentally, they practically live

on candy bars and soda pop.)

 

 

--Which leads us to ask, just exactly what causes dental cavities?

 

On the average, each American consumes 20-50 teaspoons of refined

sugar each day.

 

Using 40 teaspoons as an average, multiplying 40 teaspoons times

approx.

 

250,000,000 people totals 10 billion teaspoons of sugar sold EACH

DAY, just in the United States alone.

 

That's very big business.

 

 

ADA AND U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ASSERTION: " GOD IS STUPID "

 

 

Vested interests who sell fluoride and pharmaceuticals, or who repair

the damage, would have you believe that God screwed up so badly in

engineering man's teeth that ALL of mankind is now born with a

permanent deficiency of fluoride, and thus mass medication--with a

nerve agent--is the most cost effective way to correct God's stupid

error.

 

However, the facts state differently.

 

Regarding dental cavities, refined sugar and soda pop are two of the

top contenders, whereas a sweeping lifetime-deficiency of rat poison

and nerve agents in our bodies is one of the biggest, most blatant

lies in all history.

 

 

Each year it's easy to find a school district science fair whereby a

smart kid makes an experimental study of soaking various items

(pennies, extracted teeth, etc.) in soda pop to see how long it takes

to dissolve them.

 

In one such experiment it took only 14 days for Pepsi Cola to

dissolve the entire outer layer of enamel from a human tooth.

 

 

For the benefit of enlightening the U.S. Public Health Service, the

ADA, the AMA, and the sugar and soda pop industries, try this

complicated scientific experiment:

 

Obtain a couple of extracted teeth, give just one of them a standard

stannous fluoride treatment which supposedly proofs it against

cavities, soak both of them in Coca-Cola or Pepsi--with a few

teaspoons of sugar added--for a couple of weeks, daily changing the

liquid and scrubbing the one tooth with fluoridated toothpaste, and

then examine the two teeth.

 

That should conclusively prove who is more stupid, God or the broad

general public.

 

 

Since fluoridation was originally promoted as effective just for

children under 14 years old, then the public health officials had a

problem.

 

How to justify mass-medicating adults with poisonous fluoride?

 

One of the latest public health schemes along this line actually

states that fluoride in saliva kills tooth plaque, emphasizing that

the only way to get fluorine in your saliva is via drinking

fluoridated water!

 

Nothing is said of the toxic, life-shortening effects caused by

having that much fluorine in your body, however.

 

It not only kills plaque, but everything else in its path.

 

Is the object only to give you the brightest smile in the morgue?

 

An unexplored avenue of interest here is the chemical concoction

inside a can of soda pop.

 

Given the above statements about the corrosive action of soda pop,

and also given the data on aluminum's probable relationship to

Alzheimers disease, and also given the fact that soda pop is made

with fluoridated water, and given the fact that poisons combine

synergistically, usually in unpleasantly toxic ways, is there ANY

guarantee whatsoever that your typical fluorinated can of soda pop

will not even slightly assimilate some of the aluminum metal out of

the wall of the can, and thus make a synergistic soda-fluoride-

aluminum-sugar cocktail that has slow acting, long-term lifetime

effects?

 

 

Simple research challenge: Find some unopened soda pop that's several

years old, and have a laboratory analyze the ingredients to check the

aluminum and fluoride concentration.

 

 

SWEDEN FLUORIDATION FAILURE

 

 

NOTE: The following data on Sweden and Holland could not be found in

official medical, dental or other scientific literature, almost as if

it had been purged or never been reported at all.

 

 

13 June 1970 the Gothenburg POST (Sweden); 5 Aug 1970 the NEWS

REGISTER (Sweden); and 1 May 1970 NORSK FOLKEHELSELAG (Norway)

TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH:

 

 

In 1969 the country of Sweden intended to fluoridate their water

supply due to the strong advice of Professor Yngve Ericsson, a

Swedish dentist who was also the senior representative on the World

Health Organization's Expert Committee on Fluoridation.

 

However, it was then found that Professor Ericsson coincidentally

was the holder of two highly-profitable patents on fluoride

toothpaste!

 

 

A subsequent investigation disclosed that the World Health

Organization's numerous so-called " objective " comparative studies on

mortality and morbidity for fluoridated vs. non-fluoridated areas

simply didn't exist!

 

The investigation stated that the World Health Organization's report

was unacceptable from a scientific point of view, and that some of

the claims set forth in the WHO report actually lack any and every

basis in fact.

 

The conclusion was that the details given by WHO on risks and safety

margins were grossly defective. Sweden thus remains non-fluoridated,

to this day.

 

 

HOLLAND FLUORIDATION FAILURE

 

 

In the mid 1970's the Netherlands fluoridated the city of Amsterdam,

after which an investigation disclosed that between 100,000 and

200,000 people had developed " more or less severe side effects " to

fluoride.

 

A subsequent campaign by concerned physicians and public resulted in

fluoride's complete removal from the Netherland's water supply, and

the national law was also changed in such a way to permanently ban

future fluoridation for the Netherlands.

 

 

3-YEAR-OLD NEW YORK CHILD POISONED TO DEATH IN DENTAL CHAIR

 

 

June 28, 1974: Little William Kennerly, age 3, of New York died just

four hours after receiving a brush-on stannous fluoride treatment

during his first and only trip to the dentist.

 

William didn't know that he wasn't supposed to swallow the fluoride,

and he paid with his life.

 

 

Extracts from the autopsy report, performed by a Dr. Torno on 25 May

1974 at Kings County Mortuary:

" William Kennerly

Case #K74-3511 AUTOPSY REPORT

Age: 3 years

Height: 39 "

Weight: 32 lb

Clinical history - the child swallowed about 45cc of 2% stannous

fluoride

 

 

solution in the pediatric dental clinic, Bristol Street Clinic, at

9:30 a.m.

 

 

He was given epinephrine I.M. in dental clinic and sent to Brookdale

Medical Center for close observation.

 

The child came to Brookdale Medical Center at 12:30 noon, was well

until 1:00 when suddenly went into

Cardiac respiratory arrest and was in shock.

 

The child vomited out and had an unrecordable blood pressure.

 

He finally expired on May 24, 1974, at 2:00 p.m. "

 

 

A toxicologist's report stated that little William had swallowed the

equivalent of three lethal doses.

 

His parents later collected several hundred thousand dollars in a

wrongful-death lawsuit, but that was small consolation for the

senseless loss of their son.

 

 

Toothpaste is similar in this regard, because a typical family-sized

7-ounce tube of toothpaste contains enough stannous fluoride or

sodium fluoride to kill a 20-pound child.

 

To test this, just call the 800 number listed on your toothpaste

box, tell them that your 2-year-old child has just eaten half a tube

of toothpaste and that he's now vomiting, act frantic, and watch how

quickly your call gets patched directly through to a Poison Control

Center.

 

(It's common for a child to vomit for 12 hours, after eating a large

quantity of toothpaste.)

 

 

CONGRESSIONAL INACTION

 

 

July 21, 1975: When confronted with new evidence regarding the role

of fluoride in causing cancer, U.S. Congressman Delaney recommended

immediate suspension of all artificial fluoridation, pending further

research.

 

His recommendation was ignored.

 

 

Dec. 16, 1975: Congressman Delaney entered into the Congressional

Record the results of a new study showing another link between

fluoridation and cancer.

 

This time he demanded " that all artificial fluoridation of our water

supplies be suspended immediately. "

 

Once again, his unprofitable demands were ignored.

 

 

DENTAL ASSOCIATION PR LIE REVEALED

 

 

THE LIE: August 1, 1979: A letter from the Secretary of the Victorian

Branch of the Australian Dental Association stated, " In a community

with a fluoridated water supply, the dental manpower required to

maintain a good standard of dental health in a community is always

halved. "

 

 

THE TRUTH: The 1976 edition of the C.B.S. News Almanac published

figures showing the number of dentists per 100,000 population in

30 " Representative American Cities. " Of these 30 cities, 16 were

artificially fluoridated.

 

A simple comparison of the fluoridated vs. non-fluoridated cities

shows that there were an average of 76.7 dentists per 100,000

population in the fluoridated cities, vs. 59.2 dentists per 100,000

in the non-fluoridated cities.

 

Furthermore, data from the 1971 American Dental Directory, the 1971

U.S. Statistical Abstracts and the 1973 World Almanac reveals that

the three American cities which have been fluoridated the longest

(Grand Rapids, Newburgh, and Evanston) averaged 121 dentists per

100,000 population, or over twice the national average, after

approximately 25 years on fluoridated water. (Data compiled by

Phillip R.N. Sutton, D.D.Sc., Melbourne, Australia, 1979.)

 

 

JAPANESE FLUORIDE-RELATED CANCER RESEARCH

 

 

24 August, 1982: The Japan Times published an article expressing

concern about potential hazards of topical fluoride applications

(9000 ppm) to teeth, and fluoride mouth rinses (250-500 ppm) has

prompted researchers at the Nippon Dental College in Tokyo to

investigate effects of fluoride on hamster fetal cell cultures, with

results that can only be described as very disturbing.

 

At the August '82 meeting of the Japanese Society for Cancer

Research, Associate Professor of Pharmacology Taketi Tsutsui and his

colleague, Dr. Maizumi, reported that 24-hour contact with sodium

fluoride solutions at concentrations of 34, 45, and 57 ppm (fluorine

ion), results in morphological changes and malignant transformations

in second-generation hamster fetal cells.

 

After the one-day fluoride treatment, one group of cells was

cultured for one week and then fixed and stained for study.

 

Survival rates of 90, 50 and 30% were found for the exposure to 34,

45, and 57 ppm respectively, with morphological changes of 0.1, 0.5,

and 1.0% in the surviving colonies.

 

In the untreated control cultures, the incidence of abnormalities

was significantly lower -- only 0.03% or less.

 

In another series of experiments, cells from the 34 and 45-ppm

fluoride treatments were found to have acquired the ability to

proliferate in soft agar for an additional 50 to 200 days.

 

These cells were then shown to have developed a strong tumor-forming

capacity.

 

In the untreated control cultures, neither proliferated in soft agar

nor acquisition of tumor-forming capacity were observed, and only one

of four cultures had transformed into one having infinite

proliferative characteristics.

 

Between 100 and 200 days after the sodium fluoride treatment, cells

from the 34 and 45-ppm treated cultures were transplanted subdermally

into each of two 10-hamster groups.

 

The animals were then observed for the appearance of tumors.

 

All surviving three hamsters in the group that received cells from

the 34-ppm treated culture developed cancer (fibro-carcinoma) at the

site of injection.

 

Likewise, all eight surviving hamsters receiving the 45-ppm treated

cells developed cancer.

 

The other hamsters in both groups died from causes other than

cancer, before the experiments were completed.

 

None of the hamsters in the control group that received the

untreated cells, developed cancer.

 

 

FLUORIDE BANNED IN CUMBERLAND

 

1990: The residents of Cumberland, Maryland voted to ban fluoride

from their drinking water, not long after the community's 26-year ban

on the chemical was lifted because of the urging of dentists and

other special-interest officials.

 

The fluoride issue divided the city such that it was reportedly

responsible for the defeat of Cumberland's incumbent pro-fluoride

mayor George Wycoff, who lost to Harry Stern, a strong opponent of

fluoridation.

 

1992: Statement by Pennsylvania Justice Flaherty, after 40 days of

court hearings on fluoride:

 

" ... I entered an injunction against the fluoridation of the public

water supply for a large portion of Allegheny County.

 

... In my view, the evidence is quite convincing that the addition

of sodium fluoride to the public water supply at one part per million

is extremely deleterious to the human body, and a review of the

evidence will disclose that there was no convincing evidence to the

contrary. " Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice John P. Flaherty

(Townsend Letter For Doctors - June 1992, p. 450)

 

 

DEATH FROM FLUORIDATED WATER, 1992

 

May 23, 1992: 290 residents of Hooper Bay, Alaska were severely

poisoned by sodium fluoride when the city's fluoride dispenser

malfunctioned, injecting 150 PPM of fluoride into the drinking water

for over a week.

 

Dominic Smith, previously healthy 41 year-old leader of the local

National Guard, died of fluoride poisoning after swallowing an

estimated 1200-2400 mg of sodium fluoride from the local drinking

water supply.

 

One overdose symptom of fluoride is thirst, and Dominic just kept

drinking more water until he died.

 

 

Fluoride is cumulative in the body--somewhat like radiation--so it's

been predicted that those poisoned residents who didn't die will have

worsened health for the rest of their life.

 

(We'll know in a few years. Half of the town drank from a different

well, and they didn't get sick.)

 

 

It's common for a private vested interest to put up a " smokescreen "

by redefining terminology to fit their needs.

 

In this case a Public Health Service report regarding the above

incident called it an " outbreak " as if it were a live disease

organism out of control, instead of the mass poisoning that it

actually was.

 

(The end justifies the means; it's all God's fault, after all, by

being stupid and neglecting to engineer enough fluoride into our

bodies...)

 

 

NUMEROUS U.S. MECHANICAL FLUORIDE DISPENSER FAILURES

 

 

Similar malfunctions of fluoridation equipment have occasionally

happened nationwide over the past 40 years, each accompanied by a

careful news cover-up.

 

Fluoride dispensing machinery is not perfect.

 

Human overdoses of fluoride can be found in such places as

Annapolis, Maryland in 1979, when their water treatment plant dumped

up to 50 PPM fluoride into their water supply, giving approximately

50,000 people toxic reactions.

 

Officials kept it quiet for 2 weeks afterwards saying, " We didn't

want to jeopardize the fluoridation program. "

 

 

However, Dr. John Yiamouyiannis studied the Annapolis situation after

the spill, and reported his findings in a book, " Fluoride the Aging

Factor " .

 

On page 63 of his book, he stated that more than 5 times the normal

number of people died of heart failure in Annapolis during the week

following the fluoride spill.

 

 

During a conversation in 1992, Dr. Yiamouyiannis stated that the

actual cause of the Annapolis spill was a human error, done to cover

up a mechanical malfunction that had occurred.

 

Evidently Annapolis had a small fluoride day-tank which was supposed

to fill up with fluoride and then the pump would stop.

 

However, the pump malfunctioned and kept running after filling up

the tank, and the excess fluoride spilled over into a large waste-

sump before it was finally discovered.

 

To cover up the error, the operator who discovered it deliberately

pumped the entire overspill (1,000 gallons) directly back into the

fresh-water supply.

 

 

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA 1980:244; 7)

had this short PR article on the above fluoride spill, meanwhile

carefully avoiding using Annapolis' name:

 

FLUORIDE. In what the PHS [Public Health Service] calls " the first

instance of fluoride overexposure known to have caused serious

illness in the 35 years since fluoridation of community water

supplies was begun, " eight patients undergoing renal dialysis (kidney

bypass) in a Maryland community became ill and one died.

 

Charles M. Wax, MD, assigned by the CDC to the Maryland State

Department of Health, said investigation revealed that failure to

close a valve in the community's treatment plant led to the spilling

of 3,800 Liters (1,000 gallons) of 22% hydrofluosilicic acid into the

water supply.

 

Further investigation, he said, " raised the possibility of

widespread mild fluoride intoxication within the community as the

result of drinking overfluoridated water. "

 

 

Dr. Yiamouyiannis said that many fish in Annapolis pet shops died

shortly after the Annapolis fluoride spill.

 

 

JAMA's report was false, however.

 

Public records show that contrary to the above PHS claim that

Annapolis was the first of such a malfunction, the following 12 U.S.

communities had had overdoses of sodium fluoride in their water

supplies before that time:

Rome, PA 6/6/72

Stanley County, NC, 4/16/74

Lebanon, PA, 8/20/75

Seattle, WA 5/76

Stanford Univ., CA 1976

Syracuse, NY 3/29/77

Marin County, CA 1977

Harbor Springs, MI 1977

St. Charles, MN 1978

Los Lunas, NM 11/17/78

Fenton, MI 1979

Island Falls, ME 1979.

Further, since 1979 the following communities have also had fluoride

overdoses in their drinking water supplies:

Nisqually Indian Res. WA 1980

Shaftsbury, VT 8/30/80

Potsdam, NY 1981

Morristown, NY 2/7/81

Saratoga Springs, NY 5/81

Pendleton, OR 6/28/81

Jonesboro, ME 10/6/81

Alameda County, CA 1982

Rouses Pt. NY 1982

New Braunsfels, TX 7/3/82

Painted Post Village, NY 12/14/82

Plattsburgh, NY 1/1/83

Marysville, MI 1983

Crown Pt. NM 1983

Grand Rapids, MI 7/84

Vancouver, WA 1/20/85

Elkhart, IN 2/5/85

Charleston, IL 1985

Sequoyah, OK 1986

New Haven CN 1986

Antigo, WI 1989

Hooper Bay, Alaska, May 1992 (one fatality, 290 toxic reactions).

 

(Ed.. They Continue to this day.)

 

 

In the July 84 Grand Rapids MI spill, 8 PPM of fluoride was

reportedly dumped into that city's water supply for more than a

month, before being discovered and repaired.

 

In the 5/92 Hooper Bay Alaska spill, up to 150 PPM fluoride was

tested in the village water supply one week before the death of

Dominic Smith, the near-death of his sister, and simultaneous flu-

like symptoms experienced by over 290 villagers.

 

 

80% OF ILLINOIS FLUORIDE TREATMENT PLANTS WERE FAULTY IN 1989

 

In 1989 the State of Illinois had 1,931 public water facilities,

1,000 of which were fluoridated.

 

The State Health Department gave awards out to each state water

treatment facility that was able to maintain the recommended dosage

of fluoride in their water for the entire year, but they only gave

115 awards out to the 1,000 fluoridation facilities that year,

meaning that 885 treatment plants did NOT keep the fluoride dosages

within required limits. (Crete Record, Crete, IL 9/21/89)

 

 

JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF FLUORIDE DECREASES REACTION TIME

 

>From an article in the Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 67, No.

2, Pp. 230-238: Researchers in the Dept. of Psychology at Florida

International University, North Miami,

 

found a statistically significant delay (almost 1/2 second longer to

respond) in visual response to a peripheral light stimulus in

subjects given just 1/2 milligram of sodium fluoride.

 

That dose is less fluoride than the amount you get from drinking one

cup of coffee or tea made from fluoridated tap water.

 

 

FDA NEVER APPROVED CHILDREN'S FLUORIDE SUPPLEMENTS

 

 

June 3, 1993: New Jersey State Assemblyman John V. Kelly held a press

conference in Room 109 of the New Jersey State House in Trenton, NJ.

 

He requested that the FDA remove all children's fluoride supplements

from the market, after he asked the FDA to supply his office with the

studies supporting the safety and effectiveness of children's

fluoride supplements and the FDA evidently searched their files back

to 1939 and reported to him that NO DRUG APPLICATIONS HAD EVER BEEN

FILED FOR THESE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.

 

All children's fluoride supplements, in the FDA's own words, were

and are " unapproved new drugs. "

 

The pharmaceutical companies have been openly running a scam for

years, by selling these products.

 

 

Thus illegal, unscientific but highly profitable fluoride supplements

are still being promoted and sold by the medical and dental

professions,

 

meanwhile in 1997 the FDA is quietly gearing up on an active

campaign to ban common herbs and food supplements from our health

food stores for the purpose of redefining them as " drugs " so that

pharmaceutical companies will then have a monopoly on these

substances. (Follow the money.)

 

To find more data on this, do an internet search on the word CODEX,

which is the European program already in place.

 

 

1994: The US Public Health Service and the American Dental

Association are both continuing to strongly promote and expand the

profitable U.S. fluoridation campaign.

 

They boast that over 60% of the United States population is now

drinking fluoridated water every day, even though fluoride's only

original stated purpose was to aid the developing teeth of children

under 14 years.

 

 

VARIOUS FLUORIDE POISON REFERENCES

" Fluorine was substituted for chlorine in Lindane, to make it a far

more toxic substance. " (Plummer, W.J. and Wall, L.H. Science, Vol.

127, 1958)

 

 

" Fluorine is substituted for chlorine in DDT to produce more

effective and more toxic insecticides. " (Reimschneider, R. Suddent.

Apoth. Ztg. 1947)

 

 

" Fluorine in the atmosphere increases the sensitivity of the thyroid

gland to damaging effects of atmospheric sulfur dioxide. " (Gabovich,

R.D. et. al., Chemical Abstracts, p. 9051) In other words, fluoride

has a synergistic poisoning effect with sulfur dioxide, a component

of smog.

 

 

" Sodium silicofluoride spray on oranges remains in the peel, and so

can cause severe toxicity... " (Union of So. Africa, Dept Agr.

Forestry Sci. Bull. No. 236, 1943) Note: Marmalade is made from

citrus peel.

 

 

" 1080, or Sodium Fluoroacetate, is described in a federal training

manual as a 'biological high-explosive.' " (Los Angeles Times,

December 6, 1970)

 

 

Sodium fluoroacetate (also known as FAC, RATBANE 1080, COMPOUND 1080,

FRATOL, FURATOL, YASOKNOCK, SODIUM MONOFLUOROACETATE, and SODIUM

FLUOACETIC ACID) is listed in a hazardous waste book as being 500

times more toxic to rats than was regular sodium fluoride.

 

This is because it's an " organic metabolite. "

 

1080 was used to kill rodents as early as 1944, but was eventually

banned for use in buildings due to dogs dying from eating poisoned

rats.

 

In 1952, according to Circular No. 140 of the UCLA College of

Agriculture, it was reported that 1080 worked so rapidly that it was

impossible to save experimentally poisoned animals, even with first

aid and under the best of laboratory conditions. Scientists had yet

to find an antidote for 1080 at that time.

 

Only our nerve warfare laboratories have the full story.

 

 

QUESTION: If fluoridation of our water supplies was originally stated

to be just for the " developing teeth of children under 14, " then why

were U.S. military bases among the first to fluoridate their water

supplies?

 

Why would anybody want Rambo to be STUPID, DOCILE, and SUBSERVIENT?

 

(And why did Admiral Forrestal " commit suicide " by jumping out a

window with his hands tied behind his back and a sheet knotted around

his neck, not long after he'd adamantly opposed the fluoridation of

his military bases, among other things?)

 

 

Incidentally, fluoride reactions resemble Attention Deficit Disorder

in a certain percentage of the population, and especially in

hyperactive children.

 

The simple test of this is to get the person under question off of

ALL sources of fluoride (fluoridated water, toothpaste, soda pop

bottled with fluoridated water, canned soup, etc.)

 

and see if their condition improves over a period of 3-4 weeks.

 

Use distilled water, because most simple charcoal water filters will

not remove fluorides.

 

To remove possible variables, also test the child for negative

reactions to sugar and sugar-substitutes.

 

 

It's a tragedy that children are given the habit-forming drug Ritalin

to counter the effects of a " disease " that might only be due to their

adverse reactions to the drug fluoride, and/or to sugar.

 

Following the money, this tragedy is good business, and

the " sickness industry " is a multi-multi-billion-dollar business.

 

 

Note the following fluoride symptoms as referenced in " Encyclopedia

of Pure Materia Medica, " Vol IX, p.333.

 

These symptoms--by volunteers who took varying quantities of

fluorides--were listed one hundred years ago, in 1887!

 

 

FLUORIDE SYMPTOMS:

--Great loss of memory, forgets almost everything.

Is it a coincidence that the above-listed fluoride symptoms sound

almost exactly like the TYPICAL EVERYDAY ANECDOTAL PATIENT ILLNESS

COMPLAINTS which today's expensive TV commercials, pharmacies,

physicians and psychiatrists are so eager to " cure " with their

endless supply of profitable new drugs, many of which contain

fluoride?

 

This is like a snake swallowing his own tail.

 

The bottom line is to follow the money.

 

Look at the high standard of living of those who are promoting and

distributing the current crop of pharmaceuticals, versus the lower

living standards and drug-education level and gullibility of the

ignorant general public who are becoming convinced that

pharmaceuticals in general are a NUTRIENT.

 

Public sickness and ignorance is good business, in some circles.

ENVIRONMENTALLY-CAUSED MENTAL RETARDATION

Mental Fluorosis: Brain Damage from Exposure to Fluorides

By George Glasser

 

(Courtesy of Sarasota ECO Report, Guy Alland, Publisher. P.O. Box

35500 Sarasota, FL 34242 (941) 925-1946)

 

 

" Those who are for and against fluoridation have little common ground

other than issues they disagree on.

 

They cannot dialogue objectively because they have different

realities. They see things differently, and have different criteria

in determining validity.

 

Our lives are enriched by artists for whom " beauty is in the eye of

the beholder. "

 

But our lives are often endangered when scientific truth is in the

eye of the beholder. " (Dr. Schatz, discoverer of streptomycin)

 

Only now are the insidious facts about Sarin (nerve gas) surfacing as

more comes out about the " Gulf War Syndrome " and the Tokyo subway

incident.

 

It appears that with both incidents, the people exposed to Sarin are

suffering from a variety of chronic adverse health and lingering

neurotoxic effects such as memory loss.

 

Sarin is the most potent neurotoxic substance known. Sarin is also a

fluorinated organophosphate similar to, but more toxic to humans than

the insecticide Parathion.

 

Sarin is the prime example of toxicokinetics of the fluorine ion.

 

When the fluorine ion is combined with relatively benign substances

it often creates a powerful toxicant (toxic synergism).

 

With Sarin, the fluorine ion is like an arming mechanism for the

relatively benign organophosphate which transforms it into a compound

with one hell-of-a-wallop.

 

 

Acute exposure to Sarin, a drop about the size of a grain of sand,

 

causes spasms (tetany), heart palpitations (cardiac arrhythmia),

many other neurological disorders, and possibly, collapse of the

nervous system and death.

 

Production of acetylcholine, the most important chemical for nervous

system function is disrupted.

 

Acetylcholine is responsible for carrying all neuro-transmissions in

the brain and throughout the nervous system of the body.

 

 

Many animal studies of fluorinated organophosphates also suggest a

delayed neurotoxic reaction similar to those experiences by those

people exposed to Sarin.

 

With water fluoridation, the public is exposed to a variety of

fluorides, and aside from the fluorine ion, some of those fluorides

are neurotoxic.

 

Many scientists discount the fluorine ion as being neurotoxic;

however, the weight of scientific evidence strongly indicates that

the fluorine ion is, if nothing else, the perpetrator.

 

This is evidenced by the variety of highly effective fluorinated

drugs that are used to treat mental disorders, and the fluorine ion's

role in the devastating effectiveness of Sarin as a chemical nerve

agent.

 

Many psychoactive drugs are fluorinated.

 

Two of the most noted are Prozac and Rohypnol (better known as the

infamous date-rape drug, " Roofs. " ).

 

Rohypnol is fluorinated Valium, which is about 20-30 times more

potent than Valium alone.

 

Essentially, these drugs effect enzyme functions in certain areas of

the brain to achieve the desired effect.

 

The primary ingredients of most psychoactive drugs suppress enzyme

production, and the fluorine ion is also an enzyme inhibitor.

 

The one particular side effect common to almost all fluorinated

drugs which is mentioned in the Physician's Desk Reference is memory

loss.

 

These drugs include Fenfluramine (a fluorinated weight loss drug),

fluorinated corticosteroids, and fluorinated psychoactive drugs.

 

Memory loss and learning disorders are associated with the

hippocampal area of the brain.

 

 

On page 125 of the Toxicological Profile for Fluorides it is

stated: " Neurotoxicity: Because fluoride interacts with calcium ions

needed for effective neurotransmission, fluoride can affect the

nervous system. "

 

This statement is reinforced by recent studies performed by Dr.

Robert Isaacson and Dr. Phyllis Mullenix which were concluded shortly

after the publication of the profile.

 

 

Since 1992 there have been three studies confirming that fluorides

affect brain functions. Dr. Robert Isaacson, Binghamton University,

New York conducted two studies using low levels of aluminum fluoride

and sodium fluoride.

 

The levels were similar to the amounts people are exposed to on a

daily basis from fluoridated toothpastes and drinking water.

 

Results showed that both types of fluorides were neurotoxic.

 

The most recent study, " Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride in Rats " ,

Mullenix, et al, published in Neurotoxicology and Teratology 1995,

was done using larger doses of sodium fluoride and corroborated the

results of both Isaacson studies (1992 & .1994).

 

 

All the studies demonstrated that the hippocampal region (learning

center) of the brain was the most susceptible to the effects of

fluorides.

 

 

It was also stated in the study published in Neurotoxicology and

Teratology, 1995, Mullenix, et al, that:

 

" Hyperactivity and cognitive deficits are generally linked with

hippocampal damage, and in fact, the hippocampus is considered to be

the central processor which integrates inputs from the environment,

memory, and motivational stimuli to produce behavioral decisions and

modify memory. "

 

However, the researchers said that although the behavior of rats

does not extrapolate to humans, the generic behavioral patterns

created in rats from fluoride exposure can and probably do occur in

humans.

 

They also said the problems that might occur in humans from typical

chronic fluoride exposure during pregnancy and early childhood

are: " motor-sensory dysfunction, IQ deficits' and/or learning

disabilities " (environmentally induced retardation of brain

development).

 

 

While Dr. Mullenix's study dealt only with sodium fluoride, Dr.

Isaacson's studies focused on aluminum fluoride compared to sodium

fluoride and were performed to determine if fluoridated water's

effect on leaching aluminum or combining with the aluminum sulphate

added to some water as a clarifier [by water treatment facilities]

had an impact on the development of Alzheimer's Disease.

 

Alzheimer's studies had determined that there was a significant

build-up of aluminum in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.

 

Population studies also suggested that there appeared to be a higher

incidence of Alzheimer's disease among people who lived in

fluoridated areas which was the impetus for Dr. Isaacson's study.

 

Isaacson's study indicated that the aluminum fluoride was more

neurotoxic than the sodium fluoride.

 

 

Recent studies in China, where coal containing fluorides is used for

cooking and heating, determined that fluorides released during

burning and inhaled by young children were responsible for lowered

IQ's.

 

 

Documents with regards to the neurotoxic effects of fluoride exposure

among the workers who processed uranium for the first nuclear bombs

in 1944 were recently declassified by the government.

 

These documents indicate that the US Government has known for more

than fifty years that fluorides are neurotoxic.

 

Other studies dating back to 1949 indicate that exposure to

fluorides can have neurotoxic effects on animals.

 

The first form of nerve gas, Soman (a fluorine compound) was

developed by the Germans during World War II which indicates that

scientists were well aware of neurotoxicity of fluoride compounds

almost sixty years ago.

 

 

Through water fluoridation, the general population, especially

children who are most susceptible to developmental changes, are

exposed to fluorides.

 

In the " Toxicological Profile for Fluorides " , 1993, page 90, it

states, " The fluorine ion carried in human blood serum exists in two

forms, namely as an inorganic ion (F-) and in combination with an

organic molecule.

 

The toxicological significance of the latter form is unknown.

 

A portion of circulating fluoride acts as an enzyme inhibitor

because it forms metal-fluoride-phosphate complexes that interfere

with the activity of those enzymes requiring a metal ion cofactor.

 

In addition, fluoride may interact directly with the enzyme or the

substrate.

 

It is a general inhibitor of the energy production system of the

cell.... "

 

 

The fluorine ion has a negative electrical charge while metal ions

have a positive electrical charge, and they readily combine to form

metal-fluoride-complexes.

 

Both metal ions and fluorine ions are very small.

 

Consequently, they can easily pass through cell membranes.

 

Once in the cell, a natural chemical reaction occurs where the

fluorine ion is released from the metal ion.

 

The fluorine ion interferes with the enzyme function and continues

on, while the metal ion is left behind.

 

It is also possible for the fluorine ion to attach to a trace

mineral such as zinc which is essential to enzyme function and remove

it from the cell.

 

This same scenario is how fluoride acts as a delivery mechanism for

psychoactive drugs, but with water fluoridation, the passenger is a

neurotoxic substance such as lead, mercury or aluminum for which the

brain is the target organ.

 

Because the poisoning of the brain is accomplished from chronic, low-

level doses of highly potent (synergized) metal-fluoride-complexes,

conventional standards used to determine intoxication would be

inadequate (a linear dose-response to a particular neurotoxic

substance).

 

Like Rohypnol or Sarin, the neurotoxic substances may well be

synergized with the addition of the fluorine ion. Consequently, lead

or mercury fluoride combinations could be much more neurotoxic than

the independent metal ion.

 

 

While symptoms may indicate that a person is suffering from

neurotoxicity, the method and standards used to measure toxicity

and/or serum levels of substances would not indicate toxic levels in

the body.

 

The present accepted method used by researchers to determine adverse

effects is to attempt to target a single substance as the causative

rather than address chemical interactions that can and do occur when

chemicals are metabolized in the human body or through environmental

reactions.

 

The consequences of not considering synergized chemical interactions

would be misdiagnoses and possibly the prescribing of a medication

that may exacerbate the condition.

 

To further confound the problem, there are only several animal

studies available on the neurotoxic effects of metal-fluoride-

complexes on which to base any diagnosis.

 

 

The present thought among most pro and anti-fluoridation scientists

and researchers is that since the neurotoxic metal-fluoride-complexes

are only found at trace levels in fluoridated water, they are of

little significance.

 

Most scientists are only concerned with how much of a specific

toxicant will cause an adverse immediate health effect, not how

little of a synergized toxicant will cause an adverse health effect

with prolonged chronic, low-level exposure.

 

 

The problem with fluorides is that it is difficult to prove that the

fluorine ion had anything to do with a metabolic crime involving

neurotoxic damage related to metal-fluoride-complexes.

 

This is because the fluorine ion is the vehicle that carries the

neurotoxic substance, effectively delivers it to the target area of

the brain where it will do the most damage, leaves it, and then

continues on its metabolic journey.

 

With lethal doses of poisons such as Sarin or sodium fluoroacetate,

it would be almost impossible to determine that a person had been

poisoned from the fluorinated toxicants.

 

This is because of the bioactivity of the fluorine ion which is in a

constant state of transition as it travels through the body.

 

With these fluoride compounds, the examining physician would have to

know that a person was exposed to these substances to determine the

cause of death, otherwise, it would be written off as heart failure.

 

Diagnosing the effects of chronic, low-level exposure to fluoride

compounds would be almost impossible unless appropriate research was

done to determine what those adverse affects were and that the

physicians were aware of the research.

 

In essence, it can be said that the ubiquitous fluorine ion when

combined with another substance could be the perpetrator of almost

perfect neurological or biological crimes.

 

This is because: 1. Neither toxic levels of the fluorine ion nor the

accomplice substance can be placed at the scene of the crime in

significant amounts to indicate intoxication;

 

2. Scientists generally discount toxic synergism as a factor with

chronic fluoride toxicity; and

 

3. there is no research data on which to base a diagnosis.

 

The weight of scientific evidence suggests that the fluorine ion is

the most logical perpetrator of neurotoxic damage.

 

It is also a scientific fact that the fluorine ion has a particular

affinity for metal ions of which some, such as lead, aluminum and

mercury are neurotoxic and accumulate in brain tissues.

 

And it is a well known scientific fact among toxicologists that the

fluorine ion acts as a synergizing agent for many toxicants.

 

Consequently, it is only logical to assume that the neurotoxic metal-

fluoride-phosphate complexes act as potentiated neurotoxicants.

 

[Note: Only several hundred registered professional toxicologists

exist in the entire U.S.)

 

 

The only adverse effects most scientists are interested in with

regards to water fluoridation are the effects of the fluorine ion,

which is an intangible, and which accumulates in endpoint tissues

after the fact (meaning, after the metabolic damage has been done).

 

The fluorine ion, alone, only exists instantaneously in a

transitional phase during such a chemical reaction.

 

Long term effects of low-level chronic exposure to synergized

fluoride compounds/complexes are possibly considered inconsequential,

although the population is exposed to low-levels of these cumulative

chemicals on a daily basis via fluoridated water, toothpaste,

mouthwash, residual fluorinated insecticides, pesticides, herbicides

and fungicides on fruits and vegetables along with environmental

fluoride pollution.

 

In the Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 69, Feb. 1990, pg. 584, there

is a mention of toxic synergism and concern over metal-fluoride

complexes in Recommendations from Session IV, Needed Research,

#7, " Consider variations in physiological, nonphysiological, and

pathological changes __ for example, diet, ambient temperature,

altitude, environmental pollution and disease states.

 

Environmental pollutants __ heavy metals, for example __ should be

monitored not just for their effects on Fluorine but for their other

effects per se " .

 

 

The effects of long-term, low-level exposure to these cumulative

metal-fluoride complexed neurotoxicants and organophosphates are

contingent on several factors:

 

The age of the person, diet, health, vitamin and mineral

deficiencies, genetic disposition, ethnicity, length of exposure,

previous exposure to neurotoxicants, medications, and environmental

factors.

 

Not all people react the same.

 

There is much research data on the neurotoxic effects of lead,

mercury and aluminum:

 

Lead is associated with environmental retardation (learning

disorders);

 

Mercury is associated with various nervous and mental disorders

(the " mad hatter " syndrome, where hatters once used mercury to make

felt hats); and

 

Aluminum has been associated with memory loss (Presenile dementia,

or Alzheimer's disease).

 

However, since there are only several studies about neurotoxic metal-

fluoride-complexes, one can only speculate what effects chronic, long-

term, low-level exposure to synergistic combinations of these

complexes could be.

 

In reviewing pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical warfare

research data, it appears safe to assume that the neurotoxic effects

of metal-fluoride-complexes would be magnified as with the case of

Rohypnol and other psychoactive drugs.

 

It is also logical to believe, that like soldiers suffering from

Sarin exposure ( " Gulf War Syndrome " ), there might not be an antidote

for the adverse metabolic reaction caused by organophosphates that

are also used in agricultural products or metal-fluoride-complexes.

 

Possibly, continued chronic exposure to low-levels of fluorides

might well exacerbate the initial effects.

SARIN (MILITARY DESIGNATION " GB " )

 

 

As previously stated, Sarin was developed and used by the Nazis in

Germany, used by terrorists in Tokyo several years ago (in Newsweek

Magazine's coverage photos of the Tokyo gas attack, did you notice

the photo of numerous small light-green barrels clearly marked SODIUM

FLUORIDE, in the terrorist's Sarin-manufacturing facility?), and used

by Iraq in the Gulf War.

 

The following EPA Chemical Profile of SARIN nerve gas was recently

published on the Internet, after pressure from Gulf War Syndrome

veterans.

 

Notice this quote from SECTION VII of the following chemical

profile, regarding the neutralization of SARIN:

 

" Rapidly hydrolyzed by dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide or sodium

carbonate forming relatively non-toxic products.

 

Water alone removes the fluorine atom, producing a non-toxic acid

(Merck 1983, p. 1204) "

 

 

THUS, THE FLUORINE ATOM IS THE SINGLE INGREDIENT THAT CHANGES A NON-

TOXIC ACID INTO SARIN, ONE OF THE MOST VIRULENT AND DEADLY NERVE
