Fluoride
conference reveals fraudulent science behind mass fluoridation; fluoride
policy is a public fraud
Posted Aug 8, 2004 PT by the Health Ranger (Mike

The First Citizens' Conference
on Fluoride was recently held in Canton, New York, and it revealed
some astonishing new research about the dangers of fluoride and why
the current political position on fluoridation of public water supplies
is based on fraudulent science.
The fluoridation of public water
is something that has been highly debated for decades -- and yet the
practice continues today, despite the growing body of evidence showing
that fluoridation causes untold human suffering and disease. Some of
the research presented at the conference showed, for example, that
fluoridation damages the brain, increases levels of lead in children's
blood and therefore leads to behavioral disorders and brain damage.
It also showed that humans are accumulating fluoride in their bones,
that fluoride's toxicity is systemic in the human body, and that the
current safe drinking water standards for fluoride were fraudulently
authored by officials at the Environmental Protection Agency who were
pressured.
These findings were presented
by a variety of scientists and researchers, including a senior EPA
scientist and a doctor of the Forsyth Dental Center. Not surprisingly,
both of these individuals have been fired and have had their careers
jeopardized after participating in this conference.
One of the more interesting
bits of evidence presented in the study was an internal memo issued
by the EPA professional who wrote the current fluoridation safe drinking
water standards. In the memo, the official notes how this new standard
would produce "teeth gross enough to gag a maggot." The conference
also featured author Christopher Bryson, who wrote the book The Fluoride
Deception, who said, "Fluoride science is corporate science, fluoride
science is DDT science, it's asbestos science, it's tobacco science."
In other words, fluoride science
isn't scientific at all -- it's distorted science made up by bureaucrats
and political officials who have some other agenda in mind rather than
public health. If you're new to this debate on fluoride, you might
find some of this information shocking. But I've been covering fluoride
for several years, and have fought hard at both the local and national
level to educate people about the dangers of fluoridation.
There are so many things wrong
with the mass fluoridation of the U.S. population that it's hard to
know where to begin talking about it. First off, there's the idea that
fluoride is a so-called "naturally occurring substance in water." That's
the lie propagated by dentists and the American Dental Association
to try to convince people that simply "adjusting the naturally
occurring levels" is somehow a good thing to do.
But all of this is based on
a distortion. In reality, the fluoride added to the public water supplies
in the United States is not organic fluoride at all. It is in fact
fluorosilicic acid, which is purchased in bulk from chemical companies,
who must be laughing loudly at the idea that they can actually sell
this toxic waste product. Why? Because if cities weren't buying it
and putting it into the public water supply, these industrial companies
would have to spend millions of dollars disposing of fluorosilicic
acid because it is an EPA regulated toxic waste.
Let me put this another way
-- fluorosilicic acid is a toxic waste byproduct that is produced in
the United States by various chemical companies. It represents such
a health hazard to human beings that it is regulated by the EPA, and
must be disposed of as a toxic waste. And yet, municipalities throughout
the United States actually purchase this product and then drip it into
the public water supply, and simultaneously call it "fluoride."
Fluorosilicic acid is not fluoride,
it is something very different, and it strikes me as downright bizarre
that it is perfectly legal to dump this toxic waste product into the
rivers and streams of America as long as it passes through the bodies
of human beings first. In other words, it's illegal to take a bucket
of fluorosilicic acid and dump it into a stream, but it is perfectly
legal to dump it into the bodies of human beings, whose waste products
will subsequently enter those same streams and rivers.
All of this is done under the
guise of distorted scientific evidence that claims the mass consumption
of fluorosilicic acid somehow improves the dental health of Americans.
And yet there is no credible evidence that this is the case. All of
the evidence cited by the EPA, the American Dental Association, and
dentists has been fraudulently concocted, and quite frankly is decades
old.
Across America today, you see
the effects of mass fluoridation all around you -- you see children
with darkened teeth from fluoridosis, you see elderly people breaking
their bones because fluoridation of the water supplies contributes
to brittle bones. You see children with behavioral disorders that are
multiplied by the effects of lead in their bloodstream, and lead uptake
is enhanced in the presence of fluoride in public water.
You also see a great number
of neurological disorders in the U.S. population. You see problems
with migraine headaches, clinical depression, dementia, and Alzheimer's,
and there is a very strong link between these diseases and the long-term
consumption of fluoride in the public water supply.
Beyond all of this, there's
the important question of why dentists and public health officials
think the public water supply is an acceptable medium through which
to mass medicate the U.S. population in the first place. It is a forced
medication that has no consideration for the nutritional choices made
by individuals who might be drinking that water. Some individuals might
be using fluoridated toothpaste, and thus if they're drinking fluoridated
water, they could easily be getting too much fluoride and suffer from
fluoridosis.
The public water supply is a
bad place to be putting drugs and medications in an effort to alter
the chemistry of the U.S. population. I've even heard some doctors
who are excited about the supposed benefits of statin drugs say that
we should drip statin drugs into the public water supply the way we
do fluoride. They say the benefit is so widespread that everybody should
be taking these drugs. It would be ludicrous to suppose that we should
mass-medicate the entire U.S. public with statin drugs by dripping
them into the public water supply, and yet this is exactly what takes
place every day right now with fluoride, which is also a bioactive
chemical compound that could reasonably be classified as a drug. Using
the public water supply to mass medicate people is bad policy. It's
also bad science, and it takes away the freedom of choice from the
U.S. population. It is Big Brother at its worst.
One of the other things I find
so interesting about this debate on fluoride is that dentists and doctors
will leap to defend this practice at every opportunity -- and why?
Is it because there's good scientific evidence that fluoridination
is somehow beneficial to the public? No, it's because they've been
told to support it by their associations, such as the American Medical
Association and the American Dental Association.
In community meetings, I've
seen local dentists jump up and down and scream about how important
fluoridation is for public health. These people use their apparent
authority to try to convince everyone that they should be mass medicated
with this substance. I find this especially bizarre because many of
these dentists and doctors promote this as a nutritional prevention
strategy -- they're talking about fluoride as being essential nutrition
(see related ebook on nutrition) for the human body, and therefore
we should put it into the water supply. And yet, if you mention that
the most common nutritional deficiencies are in fact magnesium, zinc,
vitamin D, and the B vitamins, they will look at you as if you are
speaking some kind of alien tongue. Apparently in their minds, there
is only one nutritional deficiency that exists in the world, and that
is a fluoride deficiency. All other nutritional deficiencies are called
quackery, and the idea of dripping zinc into the public water supply
would be called absurd by these doctors and dentists. And yet they
are more than happy to drip a toxic waste byproduct into the water
supply, as long as it is called a nutritional deficiency that needs
to be overcome through the forced mass medication of the entire population.
All of this is so bizarre that
a reasonable person can only conclude these doctors and dentists are
operating on auto-pilot. They are parroting whatever their organizing
associations are telling them to say. They've been sucked into the
myth that fluoride is automatically good for everyone and that every
person in the country should be dosed with this bioactive chemical
compound.
And to top it off, they are
extremely arrogant about the whole thing. They act like because they
are dentists, they are qualified to talk about this one single nutritional
deficiency and its effects on the entire human body. In fact, dentists
have no qualifications to talk about the effects of fluoride on the
human nervous system, the blood supply, behavioral disorders or other
physiological effects. Dentists are really only qualified to talk about
what's happening with your teeth -- not drugs or chemicals that you
ingest and that have a systemic effect.
At the same time, most western
doctors aren't qualified to talk about nutrition, either. They've had
almost no nutritional training in their medical schools, and simply
remain illiterate about the relationships between nutritional deficiencies
and chronic disease. So, you essentially have a whole group of experts
that know nothing about the subject they are talking about, but yet
who grandstand and claim to be the authorities on it and pound the
public into the mistaken belief that people should be dosed with this
toxic waste product regardless of the scientific facts.
This is essentially a mass experiment
now being conducted on the American population, and I think we are
seeing some the effects of this in the worsening health statistics
in this country. Fluoride is also thought to suppress intelligence
and independent will, which may explain some of the reasons why the
U.S. population is so easy to control through propaganda and media
manipulation. In fact, there is some interesting research going way
back about fluoride being used on wartime prisoners as a truth serum
in an effort to get them to go along with the capturing nation's propaganda.
So, in an almost comic sense, the mass medication of the U.S. population
with fluoride could, in a very real sense, be turning our country into
a nation of mindless zombies. Of course, that's an exaggeration of
what's probably really happening, but no doubt it has some influence.
Now what does all of this mean
for you, as consumer? What should you do to protect yourself from fluoride?
First off, you should never use products that contain fluoride. That
is, don't use toothpaste or mouthwashes that contain fluoride. Also,
don't purchase bottled water that has added fluoride in it. I think
that's a ridiculous product to have on the shelves.
Don't drink from the public
water supply. Of course, if you're drinking tap water right now, you
probably need to step back and question your judgment anyway -- tap
water contains so many toxic chemicals (such as chlorine) that it represents
a risk to human health even without the fluoride.
