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.
