Second Thoughts on Fluoride
New research indicates that a cavity-fighting treatment could be risky
if overused
By Dan Fagin
Long before the passionate debates over cigarettes, DDT, asbestos or the
ozone hole, most Americans had heard of only one environmental health
controversy: fluoridation. Starting in the 1950s, hundreds of communities
across the U.S. became embroiled in heated battles over whether
fluorides—ionic compounds containing the element fluorine—should be added to
their water systems. On one side was a broad coalition of scientists from
government and industry who argued that adding fluoride to drinking water
would protect teeth against decay; on the other side were activists who
contended that the risks of fluoridation were inadequately studied and that
the practice amounted to compulsory medication and thus was a violation of
civil liberties.
The advocates of fluoride eventually carried the day, in part by
ridiculing opponents such as the right-wing John Birch Society, which called
fluoridation a communist plot to poison America. Today almost 60 percent of
the U.S. population drinks fluoridated water, including residents of 46 of
the nation’s 50 largest cities. Outside the U.S., fluoridation has spread to
Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries. Critics
of the practice have generally been dismissed as gadflies or zealots by
mainstream researchers and public health agencies in those countries as well
as the U.S. (In other nations, however, water fluoridation is rare and
controversial.) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention even
lists water fluoridation as one of the 10 greatest health achievements of
the 20th century, alongside vaccines and family planning.

Controversial fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in
both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl
FLUoride).
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, and military nerve gas. It's
historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of, until some aluminum
industries with an overabundance of the stuff sold the public on the
terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of buying it at a 20,000% markup,
injecting it into our water supplies, and then DRINKING it.
Yes, a 20,000% markup: Fluoride-- intended only for human
consumption by people under 14 years of age--is injected into our drinking water
supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink 1/2 of one
percent of the total water supply, the rest literally goes down the drain as a
free hazardous-waste disposal for the chemical industry, where we PAY them so
that we can flush their expensive hazardous waste down our toilets. How many
salesmen dream of such a deal? (Follow the money.)
Independent scientific evidence repeatedly showing up
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. There are reports of aluminum in the brain possibly being a
causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease, and 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 chemical access to
brain tissue.
Scientists who have attempted to blow the whistle on this
mega-bucks PR ploy have consistently been given a very unscientific Black-PR
treatment, and thus their valid points disputing the current vested interests
never arrive in the press.
Follow the money to find the control.
In 1952 the slick PR campaign which ram-rodded the
concept of fluoridation through via our Public Health departments and various
dental organizations was likened to a highly-emotional "beer-salesman's
convention" instead of the objective scientific experiment which it should
properly have been. It's continued in that vein right up to present time.
To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of
this issue, just look at the response given by people (perhaps yourself
included?) when the subject of fluoridation comes up. Ask yourself, "Is this
response EMOTIONAL BLUSTER, or is it UNBIASED AND OPENLY- INTERESTED
OBJECTIVITY?"
There is a tremendous amount of emotional, highly
unscientific know-it-all attached to fluoridation. 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 been subjected to 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. (Follow the money.)
Do you have diabetes or kidney disease? 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.
Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of
the kidneys, which is your main route of fluoride elimination. --So those 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.
Let's begin at the beginning: The first occurrence of
fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany's Nazi prison camps.
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 the people in their concentration camps into calm
submission. (Ref. book: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph
Borkin.)
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 light 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 IG 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. Excerpts follow: "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.
