CDC
Covering Up Serious Hazards of Water Fluoridation
Dr. Mercola - "In 2005, eleven unions within the EPA publicly
called for a ban of water fluoridation, over concerns that it may cause
bone cancer. And in 2006, the American Dental Association warned mothers
about using fluoridated water to mix their powdered baby formula.
Now, finally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is developing software
to try to assess just how much fluoride you’re ingesting, citing new findings
that cumulative  fluoride
intake might lead to painful skeletal fluorosis. Yet despite long-standing,
ever-mounting evidence of fluoride's hazard to human health, the CDC still
clings to its outdated recommendation to add fluoride to drinking water
in order to protect your oral health. Even though it was a lie, right from
the start.
90 percent of the fluoride added to your drinking water is hydrofluoric
acid -- a compound of fluorine that is a chemical byproduct of aluminum,
steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. Fluoride is
also the active toxin in rat poisons and cockroach powder. It is nothing
but a carcinogenic industrial waste product, passed off on the public as
a “nutrient” with necessary health benefits, to benefit the nuclear arms,
aluminum, and phosphate manufacturers financially, to the tune of about
$ 10 billion per year. Aided, of course, by your federal health agencies,
controlled by political interest." more
Barry Grove's book, Fluoride:
Drinking Ourselves to Death, exposes the "science" that has successfully
promoted water fluoridation for what it is: bluff, propaganda, and lies.
Fluoride is a poison--more poisonous than lead, slightly less poisonous
than arsenic. It is cumulative and collects in bones and tissues, not just
the teeth. Numerous studies done on animals point out the obvious dangers.
Other studies have shown increased rates of cancer, osteoporosis, and other
diseases. Dr. Albert Schatz, who discovered the antibiotic streptomycin,
said in 1982 that "fluoridation is the greatest fraud that has ever been
perpetrated." Yet other studies of tens of thousands of children show that
it isn't even effective at preventing cavities and is an extremely poor
delivery system even if it were effective. Like it or not, your government
sometimes lies to you. Groves points out the fact that fluoridation is
nothing more or less than a huge government-sponsored lie, conveniently
spun so that the super-phosphate industry can rid itself of harmful toxic
waste that is illegal and dangerous to release into the air but suddenly
becomes a magical "elixir of good teeth" when added to our drinking water.

Health problems caused by fluoride:
Fluoride Exposure
During Pregnancy Links to Learning Disabilities
Attention Deficit and Behavior Disorders - Dr. Phyllis J. Mullenix
Toxicology Department, Forsyth Research Institute, Boston, MA
Osteoporosis and Arthritis: Scientists
at EPA in Washington have declared that there is every reason to believe
that the increasing numbers of people with carpal-tunnel syndrome and arthritis-like
pains are due to the mass fluoridation of drinking water. On July 9, 1998
the Manchester Guardian reported news of fluoride poisoned water in Central
India, from untested wells drilled in the 1980s, causing severe arthritic
damage to tens of millions of people -- a national disaster. Fluoride is
the most bone seeking element known to mankind. The US Public Health Service
has stated that fluoride makes the bones more brittle and dental enamel
more porous.
Hip fractures: Drinking fluoridated
water will double the number of hip fractures for both older men and women.
Extremely low levels of water fluoridation 0.1 ppm still produced statistically
significant increased hip fractures. (Bordeaux Study JAMA 1994). According
to Dr. J. William Hirzy (vice-president of the NFFE LOCAL 2050, the union
representing all scientists at the EPA, Washington, D.C.) there have been
5 epidemiological studies done since 1990, in three different countries,
all showing a higher increase in hip fractures in fluoridated communities.
Some studies have indicated a 87% higher risk of hip fractures to the elderly
in areas where water fluoridation was even below 1.5 ppm.
Cancer: Fluoride was found to be
an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicological
Program. Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now
confirmed a 6.9 fold increase in bone cancer in young males. Earlier studies
had found a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities.
In 1981, Dean Burk, for many decades Chief Chemist at the US National Cancer
Institute, testified at congressional hearings, reporting that at least
40,000 cancer deaths in 1981 were attributable to fluoride. 40,000 cases
that could have been prevented simply by NOT putting industry waste into
the public water supply. Burk stated that fluoride causes more cancer,
and causes it faster, than any other chemical.
Infertility: Infertilityin women
was found to increase with water fluoridation. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total
fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride
levels. They also reported that a review of all of the animal studies done
to date shows that fluoride adversely affects fertility in most animal
species.
Brain damage: Fluorides lower the
intelligence capacity of humans, with children, again, especially susceptible
to early fluoride toxicity. IQ levels were significantly lower than children
not exposed to fluorides in all age groups listed. (Li,X.S.,Zhi,J.L.,Gao,R.O.,"Effects
of Fluoride Exposure on the Intelligence of Children", Fluoride;28:182-189,
1995) Further studies proving the neurotoxicity of fluoride in rats have
also been conducted by Dr. Phyllis Mullinex. In 1995 Mullenix and co-workers
showed that rats given fluoride in drinking water at levels that give rise
to plasma levels fluoride concentrations in humans, suffer neurotoxic effects
that vary according to when the rats were given the fluoiride - as adult
animals, as young animals, or thorugh the placenta before birth. Those
exposed before birth were born hyperactive and remained so throughout their
lives. Thoses exposed as young animals displayed depressed activity. In
1998 Guan et al. gave similar doses as used by the Mullenix group and found
that several key chemicals in the brain - those that form the membrane
of brain cells, were substantially depleted in rats given fluoride, as
compared to those who did not receive fluoride. Partly based on these findings,
the union representing all EPA scientists in Washington have now filed
a grievance demanding fluoride-free bottled water for their offices. (Note:
this also explains a recent University of South Florida study relating
fluoride intake during pregnancy to the yearly 1% increase in learning
disabilities found in children...) Studies proving that fluorides transfer
through the placenta are well known. (Meanwhile, Dr.Weil, Internet's Health
Guru, advocates fluoride supplements for pregnant woman in his book "8
Weeks To Optimum Health"...)
Alzheimer Disease There are also
several studies linking aluminum with fluoride, showing that the bioavailability
of aluminum is increased in the presence of fluorides, causing aluminum
in the brain to double in treated animals. According to an October 28,
1992 Wall Street Journal Article about a study conducted by Varnier JA,
et al.: "Rats fed the highest doses developed irregular mincing steps characteristic
of senile animals.... Post mortem examination of the rat brains disclosed
'substantial cell loss in structures associated with dementia -- the neo-cortex
and hippocampus'." (Note: Alzheimer's Disease,
first diagnosed by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1907, is now the #4 killer for
every person over 60 in the US. Every 2nd person over 70 will develop Alzheimer's.)
Environmental fluoride is implicated in this. more

Thyroid disorder: It is only in
the last two decades during which endocrinology has progressed so rapidly,
that now over 150 symptoms and associations can be identified in hypothyroidism.
Almost all(!) correlate with known symptoms of fluoride poisoning. Most
of the double-blind test results of fluoride poisoning found in Moolenburgh's
study on water containing 1ppm of fluoride - which led to the ban of fluoridation
in Holland - are now recognized symptoms of hypothyroidism. ..more

The Effects Of Fluoride
On The Thyroid Gland By Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield
It has been known since the latter part of the 19th century that certain
communities, notably in Argentina, India and Turkey were chronically ill,
with premature ageing, arthritis, mental retardation, and infertility;
and high levels of natural fluorides in the water were responsible. Not
only was it clear that the fluoride was having a general effect on the
health of the community, but in the early 1920s Goldemberg, working in
Argentina showed that fluoride was displacing iodine; thus compounding
the damage and rendering the community also hypothyroid from iodine deficiency.

Physicians, Dentists, Scientists and Environmentalists Call for an End
to Fluoridation
A statement asking Congress to end water fluoridation in the United
States has been released by the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Over 600
professionals, including a Nobel Prize winner, officers in the Union that
represents Environmental Protection Agency professionals, and members of
the National Research Council panel on fluoride's toxicology, have signed
the statement. The report urges Congressional members to “recognize that
fluoridation is outdated, has serious risks that far outweigh any minor
benefits, violates sound medical ethics, and denies freedom of choice.”

The Aging Factor: How to Recognize and Avoid the Devastating Effects of
Fluoride Dr. John Yiamouyiannis
John Yiamouylannis is a world-leading
authority on the biological effects of fluoride, which include mottling
of teeth, premature aging, spontaneous abortion, brittle bones and cancer.
Learn how fluoride acts as a chronic poison and how to avoid exposure.
The author provides a scathing indictment of corporate and government responsibility
in promoting the fable of fluoride as a necessary and safe product for
human consumption.
Fluoride's positive image in the United States may rest in part on the
whitewashing of unwelcome research findings and the firing of scientists
who dared question fluoride's benefits. Dr. William Marcus, formerly the
chief toxicologist for the EPA's Office of Drinking Water, lost his job
in 1991 after he insisted on an unbiased evaluation of fluoride's potential
to cause cancer. Marcus fought his dismissal in court, proved that it was
politically motivated and eventually won reinstatement. Marcus now declines
comment on the episode beyond saying, "I was right about fluoride's carcinogenicity,
and now we know that." An investigation by the Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee in 1991 supported Marcus' charges, documenting that government
scientists had been coerced to change their findings and portray fluoride
more favorably.

Effects of Chlorine in Drinking Water
The chemical element chlorine is a corrosive, poisonous, greenish-yellow
gas that has a suffocating odor and is 2 1/2 times heavier than air. Chlorine
belongs to the group of elements called halogens. The halogens combine
with metals to form compounds called halides. Chlorine is manufactured
commercially by running an electric current through salt water. This process
produces free chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium hydroxide. Chlorine is changed
to its liquid form by compressing the gas, the resulting liquid is then
shipped. Liquid chlorine is mixed into drinking water and swimming pools
to destroy bacteria. more
Chlorinated
tap water linked to birth defects
Scientists from Imperial College, London University, will carry out
the research after doctors in Norway, Canada and the United States reported
higher levels of birth defects in areas where chlorine is used, compared
with drinking water treated by alternative methods. A Norwegian study of
141,000 births over three years found a 14 per cent increased risk of birth
defects in areas with chlorinated water. Scientists have already found
an association between chlorine and an increased risk of bowel, kidney
and bladder cancer, but it is the first time that a link has been found
with higher levels of spina bifida.
Matthew Silver, MD

the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from an over-chlorinated
swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe health challenges including
extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty that kept her housebound
and dependent on oxygen. Even minimal exertion led to extreme shortness
of breath. After just three days of drinking lycium
(Goji) juice, she reported that all of her symptoms improved
dramatically and that she was able to leave her house without oxygen and
work in her garden, which she had not been able to do in years."

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier."
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized
Water, by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D.
Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also
stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was
exposed in the past. Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological
chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy
and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline
living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for
the treatment of degenerative diseases.

Chemicals and Toxins
Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease and Obesity
Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all
directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the
cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins
build-up in the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative
diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic
Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home
there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells
actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago
and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing
amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we
eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular
communication and disease. more
More about the healing power of water
The US-based National
Health Federation (NHF) has strongly opposed since the 1950s the fluoridation
of public water supplies, and has long fought against the contradictory
consensus views at Codex meetings. Scott Tips, NHF’s Legal Counsel, said:
“This disproportionate behaviour at Codex must be stopped and we welcome
the support of other high-profile NGOs in this important struggle in which
the most vulnerable sector of our society – babies - are the innocent victims.
Even the Canadian Dental Association has stated that ‘Fluoride supplements
should not be recommended for children less than three years old.’
This demonstrates a most definite awareness that fluoride is not the innocuous
substance that it is passed off as being, particularly where the forms
used (hydrofluosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride)
are nothing more than the by-products of commercial fertilizer or aluminium
production. In fact, while many governments struggle with the fluoride
issue, increasing amounts of scientific evidence contraindicate the use
of fluoride in the public water supply.”
 98%
Of Western Europe Has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This includes Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Norway, and Sweden. The predominant reason for Europe's rejection is the
belief that public drinking water is NOT the appropriate vehicle with which
to deliver medication to a population. India, and Japan have either rejected
or banned its use in recent years.
"In 1990 a 10 year study was completed by the federal government National
Toxicology Program (a part of the Department of Health and Human Services)
to rule out any possibility that fluoride causes cancer. Much to their
surprise, bone tumors found in laboratory animals were found to be the
direct result of fluoride ingestion. Even before the study was complete,
the NTP contacted the Environmental Protection Agency to inform them that
fluoride was carcinogenic."
A subsequent animal study found that fluoride interferes with the pineal
gland's production of melatonin, a hormone which helps regulate the onset
of PUBERTY. In the study, animals dosed with fluoride had reduced levels
of melatonin metabolites in their urine and had earlier onsets of puberty
than the controls. (23)
Dr. Mercola
Up until the 1950s, European doctors used fluoride to reduce the activity
of the thyroid gland for people suffering
from overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
(24) The daily dose of fluoride which people are now receiving in fluoridated
communities (1.6 to 6.6 mg/day) (25) actually exceeds the dose of fluoride
which was found to depress the thyroid gland (2.3 to 4.5 mg/day). (26)
Hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) is currently
one of the most common medical problems in the United States. Synthroid,
the drug doctors prescribe to treat hypothyroidism, was the fourth most
prescribed drug in the US in the year 2000. Symptoms of hypothyroidism
include depression, fatigue, weight gain, muscle and joint pains, increased
cholesterol levels, and heart disease.
A recent study published in the journal Brain Research found that 1
PPM fluoride in water facilitated the uptake of aluminum into the brain
of rats, producing the type of brain tangles (amyloid deposits) that are
associated with Alzheimers disease and other types of dementia. (27) An
epidemiological study published in the December 2000 issue of the journal
Neurotoxicology, found that fluoridated water was associated with elevated
levels of lead in children's blood. (28) The study's findings parallel
the findings of an earlier study published in the September 1999 issue
of the International Journal of Environmental Studies. (29) Lead in the
blood is associated with a variety of neurological problems, including
reduced intelligence, aggression and hyperactivity. Dozens of laboratory
studies have found that fluoride is a mutagen - a classification which
frequently indicates that a substance is carcinogenic (i.e. that
it causes cancer). (30) A cancer bioassay conducted by the National Toxicology
Program found that rats dosed with fluoride had a statistically significant
increase in bone tumors (osteosarcomas), which were not found among the
controls.
The initial review of the study also reported that the fluoride-dosed
rats had tumors of the thyroid, oral cavity and rare tumors of the liver;
however these tumors were later downgraded under conspicuous and controversial
circumstances. According to Dr. William Marcus, the Chief Toxicologist
at the EPA's Office of Drinking Water, the downgrading of the tumors was
politically motivated and not scientifically defensible. A recent epidemiological
study conducted by a scientist from the US Public Health Service found
that female infertility was associated with elevated levels of fluoride
( >3ppm) in drinking water. The study concluded that more emphasis needs
to be given to the effects on health from total fluoride exposure - not
just exposure to fluoridated drinking water.
"Dr. Phyllis Mullenix of Harvard University's Forsyth Research Institute
(a dental research institute) published a study pointing out that fluoride
was more effective than lead in reducing IQ levels in children!"
Excerpt
from naturalrearing.com
In 1997, 1500 scientists, engineers, and lawyers of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) joined in the release of a cautionary statement
regarding fluoride: "Our members' review of the body of evidence over the
last eleven years, including animal and human epidemiological studies,
indicates a causal link between fluoride/fluoridation and cancer, genetic
damage, neurological impairment, and bone pathology
Belgium
becomes the first country in the world to prohibit fluoride supplements
In a report from 1999 UNICEF complained that certain governments knew
insufficiently how poisonous fluoride is - especially for children, as
their young organism absorbs more fluoride than an adults'. In the same
year HUMO wrote a dossier about the dangers of fluoride (Humo Nr.17/33059,
April 20, 1999). We got a lot of reaction at the time, particularly from
dentists who, though undoubtedly with good faith, echoed the arguments
of fluoride proponents.
But the usefulness of fluoride has been doubted worldwide for a long
time already. Over the years at least 12 Nobel Prize winners in Medicine
and Chemistry have warned of the associated health risks. To make children
take fluoride is not only useless against caries, it is plainly dangerous.
Tooth and bone decalcification as a result of fluoride even has a name
- fluorosis. Fluoride is very reactive and it goes deep into the bones
and cells where it is accumulated. Yes, the tooth surface becomes much
harder, but the tooth itself becomes more brittle. From a lot of research
it seems that fluoride causes joint problems, skeletal deformations, osteoporosis,
and that it can even cause bone cancer. Also the brain cannot escape
from it. Fluoride has a negative influence on the nervous system and the
immune system, and in children it can lead to (chronic) fatigue, a lower
IQ, learning disabilities, lethargy and depression. more

 Dental
Fluorisis - Children at Risk
Have you seen children and young adults among your family and friends
with those whitish spots or flecks on their teeth or, in more extreme cases,
dark streaks that look like decay? This is the effect of dental fluorosis,
the first visible sign of overexposure to fluoride. In some communities,
the incidence of dental fluorosis is 30 to 60 percent or more. Fluoride
ingestion from mouth rinses and dentifrices in children is extremely hazardous
to biological development, life span and general health. Research from
China has shown a correlation between exposure to low doses of fluoride
and diminished IQ in children.
Research is beginning to show that the cavity-fighting power of fluoride
may have been overstated. Recent studies in the Journal of Dental Research
conclude that tooth decay rates in Western Europe, which is 98 percent
unfluoridated, have declined as much as they have in the United States
in recent decades. Indeed, it's only in the United States that fluoride
is championed by the government
Most European nations -- including Germany, France, Sweden and Holland
-- prohibit fluoride on public health grounds. more
Paul Anthony Taylor, on behalf of the Dr Rath Health Foundation -
“It is deeply irresponsible of governments to force all sectors of society
to consume fluoride along with our single most required form of sustenance
– water, especially when the toxic dose overlaps the therapeutic dose meaning
there is no safety margin. The recent meeting of the Codex Committee on
Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses in Chiang Mai, exemplified
the irrational and inconsistent behaviour of regulators in relation to
fluoride. On the basis of consensus voting procedures, the same committee,
in the same meeting, voted to prevent fluoride from being added to powdered
formulas during their manufacture, while allowing the same contaminant
to be added to water used in the manufacture of ready-to-use formulas.”
 The
Fluoride Deception unearths one of the great secret narratives of our
age, how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant
of the Cold War was added to our drinking water and toothpaste. A chronicle
of the abuse of power and of the manufacture of state sponsored medical
propaganda, the book reveals how military and industry scientists and public
health officials buried information about fluoride's potential for human
harm, while promoting its use in dentistry. The book documents how a secretive
group of powerful industries, who all faced extensive litigation for fluoride
pollution, collaborated with officials from the National Institutes of
Dental Research, laundering fluoride's public image, and helping industry
off the hook.
A few days ago the CDC joined
the ADA to warn moms not to give babies under 12 months any fluoridated
water! Still the unhealthy dumping of toxins into our drinking water continues.

impressive amount of research to demonstrate fluoride's harmfulness, the
ties between leading fluoride researchers and the corporations who funded
and benefited from their research, and what he says is the duplicity with
which fluoridation was sold to the people. The result is a compelling challenge
to the reigning dental orthodoxy, which should provoke renewed scientific
scrutiny and public debate."
Fluoride and Eczema
A testimonial on Thu, 02 Dec 1999 from Rose <robertf@mb.sympatico.ca>
"I have a 7 month old baby boy who had been diagnosed with eczema quite
some time ago. He suffered from it behind the ears, hairline and mainly
cheeks. I tried everything to help him get rid of it. While I was on the
allergy onelist group, I was told about flouride and it's problems. I NEVER
would have dreamed that this was the problem. Sure enough, after eliminating
tap water (which has flouride in it, in my city anyhow), and replacing
that tap water with steam distilled water, his eczema is GONE! I am so
surprised and very happy some one told me about this as I would have never
associated the two.? It worked for me and it's worth a try for your child.
The distilled water is used for drinking, and I use it to make his formula.
As for bathing, I rarely bathe my son (doctor's orders because his skin
is so sensitive)- I use regular tap water when I do and afterwards apply
a lotion all over his body to seal in the moisture. Even his constant nasal
congestion has cleared since using the distilled water, also my allergies
have subsided as I now too drink that water. I am very happy with the results!!!!

Dental Fluorosis: A Legal Time Bomb
by George Glasser
In the United States, there are no warnings posted on fluoride-laced
products pertaining to the risks of ingesting too much fluoride or for
those at risk from ingesting fluoride. Many dentists and pediatricians
who prescribe fluoride supplements, dentists administering fluoride treatments
and the manufacturers of fluoride-laced products do not inform people of
the risks: (1) Fluoride is poison; second only in toxicity to arsenic which
is rated as the most toxic. (2) The fluoride gel used for topical treatments
contain concentrations as high as 12,000 ppm (parts per million), well
above the probable lethal dosage for a child. (3) A tube of toothpaste
contains 1,000 to 1,500 ppm of fluoride which can be a lethal dose for
young children. (4) Many children and adults have allergic reactions to
fluoride. The more notable reactions are: Restlessness/insomnia, nausea
and swelling of the lips. (5) People who have maladies such as: kidney
ailments, HlV/AIDS, immunodeficiencies, diabetes and heart ailments are
at risk from consuming fluoride-laced products and fluoridated water. (6)
The suspected geno-toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects from long
term fluoride intake have not been disproved. Almost every research paper
broaching the subjects calls for more research into those areas and states
that the evidence of safety is "inconclusive and contradictory". The same
scenario occurred with asbestos.

Fluoride:
A Kick in the Teeth
Many
medications are packing a potentially lethal hidden dose of fluoride
Over the past several years, numerous fluoride-containing medications
have been pulled off the market for causing deaths and illness. Fluoride
is "highly toxic to the liver," expert Andreas Schuld of Vancouver, BC
Canada said. Schuld, head of Parents of Fluoride Poisoned Children, explained
that "In the liver all fluorides interfere with the metabolism of thyroid
hormones, creating thyroid disorders and associated diseases, such as muscle
diseases ….heart disease, etc." Other effects can include a serious muscle
disease that causes pain and weakness. He cited the recent withdrawal
of Baycol, a cholesterol-lowering drug taken by 700,000 Americans, as an
example of hidden fluoride-induced dangers that could be lurking in your
medications. Baycol, Schuld said, has been linked to 31 U.S. deaths, with
at least nine other fatalities worldwide.

September 4, 2000 - Sen. Bob
Smith (R-N.H.), chairman of the Environment and Public Works committee,
has asked EPA to review its standard for fluoride in drinking water because
of some recent scientific reports showing potential adverse effects from
fluoride exposure. In a letter to J. Charles Fox, EPA assistant administrator
for water, Smith wrote, "I urge EPA to conduct an in-depth analysis of
fluoride in drinking water based on the best available, peer-reviewed science,
as required by the [Safe Drinking Water act Amendments of 1996 (SDWA)],
and also to evaluate whether fluoride additives, including fluorosilicates,
provide a safe alternative to sodium fluoride added to drinking water."
Smith, Bob (R) email to: opinion@smith.senate.gov
In addition, Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), chairman of the Subcommittee
on Energy and Environment, has written to EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner
asking 20 questions about EPA's standard of 4 mg per L for fluoride in

Crippling By Fluoride: A Global Problem "Millions Effected,"
Says Noted Scientist From India
"Endemic skeletal fluorosis" blackens and wakens the teeth, permanently
curves the spine and cripples both children and adults. A 35 year old suffering
this disease may appear to be 80! This was one of the topics discussed
at the 19th conference of The International Society for Fluoride Research
[ISFR] in Kyoto, Japan, September 8 - 11, 1992.
The conference, hosted by Osaka Medical College was attended by researchers
from around the world. Dr. S.P.S. Teotia from LLRM Medical College, Meerut,
India has studied this problem for thirty years. Speaking at the conference
Dr. Teotia stated that "endemic fluorosis is a global challenge". In his
study of 150,000 villages in India from 1963-1990, he discovered that "the
continuous uptake of less than 2.5 MG of fluoride per day for more than
6 months causes detectable x-ray changes of fluorosis." This should trouble
all of us in countries that allow artificial fluoridation of water supplies
as our total intake of fluoride may be higher than this from a combination
of drinking fluoridated water, food prepared in fluoridated areas, fluoride
dental products and atmospheric pollution.

China Hosts International Fluoride Conference US Public
Health Service and WHO in Conflict with Scientists
By Richard G. Foulkes, MD
The 20th Conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research
[ISFR] was held September 5-9, in Beijing, Peoples' Republic of China.
This was co-sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Health and the World Health
organization [WHO]. The conference was the largest in the history of the
Society. In attendance were 200 scientists from China and almost 100 from
15 other countries.
The main theme of the Conference was the wide range of serious health
problems caused by wide-spread fluorosis in China. In the regions where
endemic fluoride poisoning has been found, out of a total population of
100 million, 43 million have dental fluorosis and 2.4 million, skeletal
fluorosis.
The sources of fluoride poisoning in China are multiple: high natural
fluoride in drinking water supplies; atmospheric fluoride from burning
coal for cooking, heating and power generation; and, fluoride in food such
as corn, millet and wheat dried over coal fires.
The Chinese recognize that there is a continuum of adverse effects from
fluoride poisoning: Chalk-like dental fluorosis [DF]; DF in which teeth
are discolored; DF in which teeth are damaged; and, skeletal fluorosis
that may result in severe crippling and deformity as well as paralysis.
Their studies show that bone changes occur early and accompany the three
levels of dental fluorosis. Skeletal fluorosis is seen as the end result
of fluoride poisoning. In Canada and the US, dental fluorosis is largely
ignored and evidence of skeletal fluorosis is taken as an indicator of
fluoride toxicity.
The following article excerpt exposes
the biggest on-going medical experiment ever carried out by the United
States Government on an unsuspecting population.
Fluoride,
Teeth, and the Atomic Bomb
by Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson July 1997
Since the days of World War II, when this nation prevailed by building
the world's first atomic bomb, U.S. public health leaders have maintained
that low doses of fluoride are safe for people, and good for children's
teeth.
That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of hundreds
of once-secret World War II documents obtained by Griffiths and Bryson
-- including declassified papers of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. military
group that built the atomic bomb.
Fluoride was the key chemical in atomic bomb production, according to
the documents. Massive quantities of fluoride -- millions of tons -- were
essential for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear
weapons throughout the Cold War. One of the most toxic chemicals known,
fluoride rapidly emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the U.S.
atomic bomb program -- both for workers and for nearby communities, the
documents reveal.
The
Truth About Mandatory Fluoridation
by John R. Lee, MD
9620 Bodega Highway Sebastopol, CA 95472 April 15, 1995
Several states have passed laws which mandate state-wide fluoridation.
A common perception is that fluoridation has been proven to reduce caries
rates in children, is without harmful risk, and is cost effective. The
many who have not studied the fluoridation problem in depth are often unaware
that the pro-fluoridation argument contains a heavy mix of political and
economical pressures which seriously distort the scientific validity of
these claims. Having extensively researched this subject for the past 25
years, I offer the following facts.

Corruption and Fraud at the EPA - Truth suppressed by
fraud and intimidation
by Robert J. Carton, Ph.D.
- July 28, 1995
The Big Lie has been maintained by outright fraud and the persecution
of scientists attempting to speak the truth. In 1990, Dr. William Marcus,
a senior scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was fired
for exposing a coverup in a government study showing that fluoride causes
cancer. In 1992, EPA ignored the union representing all 1200 scientists,
lawyers and engineers at EPA's Headquarters, when the union provided evidence
of scientific fraud in the development of the fluoride in drinking water
standard.
How the truth is suppressed
The powers that be work overtime at maintaining the Big Lie with some
fairly simple, but effective techniques: outright fraud and coverup, and
initimidation and persecution of scientists and other professionals who
dare to speak the truth. One of the best examples of the use of these techniques
can be found at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington,
D.C.

Scientific
Facts on the Biological Effects of Fluorides
-
Fluorides have been used to modify behavior and mood of human beings. It
is a little known fact that fluoride compounds were added to the drinking
water of prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit questioning of authority,
both in Nazi prison camps in World War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia.
-
Fluorides have little or no effect on decay prevention in humans. In 1990
Dr. John Colquhoun was forced into early requirement in New Zealand after
he conducted a study on 60,000 school children and found no difference
in tooth decay between fluoridated and unfluoridated areas. He additionally
found that a substantial number of children in fluoridated areas suffered
from dental fluorosis. He made the study public.

 The
Road To Better Health may begin with a Healing Crisis A
healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction
which
occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins
are being released faster than the body can eliminate them. As you move
toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition,
healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin
to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years.
The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During
the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify)
and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuildinternal organs, you
may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue. With
Dr. Mercola - "Every act of every cell in the body produces waste.
This waste is poisonous, it is incompatible with the life of the cell..."
"The cells throw their waste into the lymph that carries it back to the
blood. The blood takes the waste to the excretory organs mentioned above
for elimination." "Normal elimination keeps the blood and lymph clean."
 Thyroid
Power by Richard Shames MD and Karilee Shames RN, PhD
Dr. Richard Shames, a Harvard and University of Pennsylvania graduate
who served at the NIH, believes that we are witnessing an autoimmune
low-thyroid epidemic. Doctors on the Thyroid Unit at Columbia
Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC have revealed that 20 million Americans
are currently being treated for thyroid problems. Synthroid, just one of
the various thyroid medicines, is now either first or second most-prescribed
drug in the US. The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center estimates
that there are over 13 million more Americans who have undiagnosed thyroid
problems that are causing many of their uncomfortable symptoms (fatigue,
depression, excess weight, infertility, miscarriage, severe menopause,
dry skin, constipation, hair loss). Karilee Shames, RN, PhD, Assistant
Professor of Nursing, points out that a major environmental trigger of
low thyroid is likely to be the fluoride added to municipal water
supplies. Scientists believe that fluoride can depress thyroid functions
with levels as low as 2. 5 mg/ day, even though (according to a 1991 government
report estimates that) adults in fluoridated areas ingest an average of
3.9 mg daily. Drs. Richard and Karilee Shames suggest that in a
misguided attempt to help curb cavities in young children, we may be unwittingly
poisoning our collective endocrine systems. In fact, the Shames are quick
to point out, there really is no solid research on the long-term effects
of fluoride on the human body, even though it has been used for over fifty
years. Equally disturbing is the current substitution of an industrial
silicofluroide waste product in place of the original pharmaceutical grade
of sodium fluoride, without proper research.
"Consider Thyroid
Power a long, personal visit with a caring, prevention-oriented
practitioner," state the authors. The journey begins with thyroid basics:
how this little hormone-producing tissue operates, signs that things are
amiss, how other illnesses compound the problem, and how to determine one's
risk for hypothyroidism. Next, the Shameses discuss the labyrinth of diagnostic
and treatment issues a patient must endure. Helpful and harmful supplements
and environmental factors, repairing the immune system (the origin of thyroid
troubles), and a rich, sensitive exploration of holistic healing nicely
round out this valuable resource. A brief section titled "Show This to
Your Doctor," penned by Richard, perfectly crystallizes the book and provides
an effective tool for initiating a patient/physician dialogue. --Liane

Thyroid disorder
Two main thyroid disorders: Hyperthyroid and Hypothyroid. The thyroid
hormones regulate (1) metabolism, (2) growth and developement,(3) the activity
of the nervous system. An under production of these hormones is a hypothyroid
condition, while an overproduction creates a hyperthyroid condition.
Two main thyroid disorders:
Hypothyroid
/ Hypothyroidism / Under Active Thyroid
Hypothyroidism is an under production of thyroid hormone. The two hormones
produced by the thyroid controls the body’s temperature, ability to burn
calories, and energy usage. It is estimated that hypothyroidism affects
over 13 million people in the USA and even more worldwide, 90% of which
are women. One in eight women may develop a thyroid condition at some time
in their life usually between the ages of 30 and 50. Under production of
thyroid hormoneSymptoms: Fatigue, loss of appetite, overweight, painful
PMS, muscle weakness, dry and scaly skin, yellow orange coloration in the
skin, particularly palms, yellow bumps on the eyelids, hair loss, recurrent
infections, constipation, slow speech, myxedema (drooping and swollen eyes),
depression. Most frequent symptoms are: intolellerance to cold and fatigue.,

Detoxification for Optimum Health
Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease and
Obesity
Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions:
the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products
we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins build-up in
the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative diseases.
Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic Medical
Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home there
are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells actually
contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago and we
are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing
amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we
eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular
communication and disease. more
Arguments
Against Water Fluoridation from the National Academy of Sciences
Three Reasons Why Those Who Supported the Use of Fluoride
Say No to Fluoridation Today
1. Total fluoride exposure. The fluoridation goal of delivering 1 mg
(milligram) of fluoride to a child per day has already been reached, and
exceeded, even in non fluoridated communities. Explanation:
The total dosage goal of 1 mg of free-fluoride ion/day for a child was
adopted in the early 1940's when there was little or no other source of
exposure.
The 1 mg of free-fluoride ion was to be placed in 1 liter of water,
as that was the amount that a child was assumed to drink per day (The very
reason for using the public water was the assumption that it would be the
child's only access to fluoride). Placing 1 mg into a liter created an
equivalent concentration of 1 ppm (part per million). Promoters have since
incorrectly identified the 1 ppm concentration as the goal, rather than
the 1 mg dosage.
2 mg per day was considered by all, including promoters, to be excessive,
as it caused an unacceptable risk for dental fluorosis (the visible display
of fluoride poisoning the specialized cells that make the enamel, resulting
in white opaque spots, brown stains, mottling and fracture-prone teeth);
thus many scientists protested that there was not an adequate margin of
safety. Despite their protests, 1 mg/L was chosen as the "optimal" concentration,
and a temperature adjusted 2 mg/L, or 2 ppm, was chosen for the Maximum
Contaminant Level for fluoride concentration in the water.
Independent laboratory analysis now shows that fluoride is in most cola
and fruit juices at concentrations of 1 ppm and up; in well known cereals
at 2 to 10 times the concentration intended for our water; in products
using white grape juice as sweetener or in children's juices at 3 to 7
ppm; and, because of fluoride-based pesticide residue, on lettuce at 180
ppm and raisins (that we know no child is going to scrub) at 55 ppm.
U.S. Public Health Service documents show that even in 1991, non fluoridated
communities were already receiving equal to and more than the targeted
fluoride dosage of 1 mg per day. Fluoridated communities were receiving
an estimated 3 to 7 times the "optimal" goal.
Result: in 1986-87, 29.9 % of all children in so-called "optimally"
fluoridated communities displayed the permanent visible signs that they
have been overdosed (dental fluorosis). (1986-87 survey, National Institute
of Dental Research)
2. Adding fluoride to the water to achieve the so-called "optimal" concentration
mass medicates at a higher level than any doctor in the country following
the current recommendations for care can prescribe. Explanation:
Although promoters of fluoridation often insinuate that children are
deficient in fluoride, 98% of Europe and our own continent's professional
associations have seen that adverse effects have gotten out of hand and
have advised their professionals to adjust for uncontrolled exposure.
In 1995, the American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs
and the American Academy of Pediatrics, while segments of these same trade
associations simultaneously continued to lobby for fluoridation, created
new policy recommendations for controlled-dose supplementation, which are
intended to be the substitute for fluoridated water in non fluoridated
communities.
The new schedules indicate that mass medication, at the claimed "optimal"
level of fluoridation, grossly exceeds the dosage that a qualified professional
could prescribe, even after the professional's individual evaluation of
a child for growth and development, weight, total exposure to fluoride
from all sources, and individual susceptibility.
According to these new recommendations infants are to receive no additional
fluoride, no matter what the fluoride level in the water; and it is not
until a child reaches the age of 6 that the new prescription recommendations
ever reach the excessive dosage that is thrust upon a child that consumes
fluoridated tap water.
The Canadian Dental Association went even further, stating that fluoride's
effect on caries is topical, rather than systemic, and recommended that
if a child brushes his/her teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste
that they should have no further exposure to fluoride even in a non fluoridated
community.
"The level of fluoride incorporated into dental mineral by systemic
ingestion is insufficient to play a significant role in caries prevention."
(Featherstone JD. Prevention and reversal of dental caries: role of low
level fluoride. Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 1999;27:31-40.
3. The hazardous waste substances used in 90% of fluoridation have never
been tested, either alone in distilled water, or in combination with other
chemicals and contaminants found in tap water. Explanation:
The most common substances now used for fluoridation are hydrofluosilicic
acid and sodium silicofluoride, which are waste products that are captured
in scrubber systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry. The resulting
toxic waste can not be diluted by 1 million or even 3 million or 10 million
to 1 and dumped in the ocean or river or landfill, nor allowed to escape
into the air because it would kill all the plants and animals and people.
And it can't be given away because it would still be classified as a Class
I toxic waste and have to be neutralized at the highest rated hazardous
waste facility at a cost of $1.40 per gallon, or more depending on how
much cadmium, lead, uranium, and arsenic are also present.
But, if destined for a water district that will pay $0.35 to $0.45 per
gallon for transportation, the 23% solution in industrial waste water is
magically pronounced benign and shipped, untreated, to be mixed into our
water.
If it was not a hazardous waste, it could have been added to salt or
some other universally accessible food source, just like iodine is, more
than fifty years ago. Each of us would then be free to choose for ourselves.

that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything
one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials
to make new cells that function normally. These nutrients improve mental
function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress,

 The
acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s
health. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we
may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches
and pains, and even more serious disorders. When the body is excessively
acidic, vital organs and individual cells are subject to damage or destruction.
This condition, known as acidosis, can be a cause, an effect, or even a
symptom of almost any health condition. By balancing the body's acidity
levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions,
including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease.

In addition to the role it plays as a potent detoxifier, therapeutic
clay has also been used extensively in the treatment of pain, open
wounds, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, intestinal problems,
acne, anemia, and a variety of other health issues. more

uncovered by biophysicists and brought to light in the acclaimed book,
Water
and Salt, The Essence of Life , by Dr. Barbara Hendel and biophysicist

Raising
Public Awareness
Most modern maladies are
caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and
toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides,
antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack
of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by
the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease"
and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against
them. more
 Possible
Causes of Mysterious, Massive Death of Bees
Albert Einstein said:
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only
have four years left to live."
 A
growing number of holistic doctors, pediatricians and veterinarians use
transfer factors as an alternative to,
or in conjunction with conventional medicine for their acute and chronic
cases, including cancer and other serious health conditions, with excellent
outcome.

- "There is no other product in a nutritional substance, nor a drug, that
has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune system. With the
increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and food
contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own immune
system." Transfer factors and the immune sytem
