Scientists Prove Water Fluoridation Harms Health

July 25th, 2009


2,582 Medical, Scientific, and Environmental professionals say: Drinking fluoridated water damages organs, bones, teeth, neural and brain function.
View this 25-minute documentary vital to your health; in it scientists and health researchers say NO studies support water fluoridation. The US is one of the few developed countries that forces its citizens to drink a drug in its water; dental and health studies overwhelmingly condemn the additive as harmful; and countries without it have as good if not better dental health.

Research organization Second Look presents a formidable bibliography of scientific literature on fluoridation, in scientific and medical journals and articles documenting: fluoride neurotoxicity, effects on brain development, pineal and thyroid glands, blood lead uptake, oxidative stress, skeletal and dental fluorosis, kidney disease, cancer, bone fractures, gastrointestinal complications, reproductive and birth defects, immune system and allergy response, tooth defects, and numerous other complications.

As always when bureaucratic decisions are forced on people, the poor suffer most because they can least afford to avoid government mandates. Those who can, buy products that help avoid fluoridated public water: expensive bottled water, home and office water filters, even bath and shower filters, certified organic juices, and prepared foods made with filtered water are only a few of the many ways people protect themselves from bad government science, if they can afford to.

Bureaucratic decisions impose years of monopolistic control of public facilities with poor results: debasement of currency by inflation has nearly destroyed people’s independance. Destructive food and drug laws, bad schools, poor postal service, outmoded railroad transportation, on and on, the harm is everywhere.

Yet every year the bureaucracy swells, every year the people are poorer and have less say in decisions vital to their own lives and those of their children. Political forces now plan mass required vaccination for a swine flue that mutates too rapidly for labs to develop tested, safe vaccines. The government already has granted Baxter Labs immunity from prosecution in cases of death or damage due to the rushed vaccines ordered by the federal bureaucracy.

People were born with brains to think for themselves, not just to register and comply with orders given by bureaucrats. Do not allow your Congressional Representatives to vote your rights away in health matters. The risk is one of life and death.

More experts demand end of water fluoridation

See Choosewings Fluoridation article 4-29-09, 2 Big Secrets our Government Never told Us. And now many health professionals say fluoride is a cumulative poison: immediately stop adding it to water. Here is a link for more information from nyscof in a comment below, including source data and Fluoride Action Network’s list of ways you can help get fluoride out of your community water system, plus a video from ABC:

Two Big Secrets Our Government Never Told Us

April 26th, 2009

Big bureaucracies like the post office never delivered state-of-art service, because monopolies lack consequences for poor performance. We grumbled but still trusted clumsy bureaucracies to look out for us. Then Intelligence failed to warn of 9-11, the US Army Corps of Engineers’ New Orleans levees broke, bureaucratic response after Katrina was horrific, we got mired in unending wars on countries that never threatened us, and all of the highly-paid government economists and our representative got it wrong and tanked our economy.

Big Secret Number One
For decades the run-up to the economic crisis was hidden from us by the people we elected to watchdog our interests.

Since 1913 the secretive Federal Reserve Bank had monopoly control of US money and credit. Severe depression, multiple bubbles, and recessions happened under the Fed’s control, but generations of Congress demanded no accounting of this private cartel.

Finally, legislative bill HR1207 now seeks to audit the Fed’s spending, to find out where trillions of our money has gone.

You can help find out; telephone or email your representative. Tell him/her to support HR1207 because you want no more secrets.
The Congressional Switchboard is: 1-877-851-6437, just ask to be connected with your rep’s office. We pay them to listen and to work for us.

Since Congress ignored the American people who overwhelmingly said NO to bailouts, we must put far more pressure on our representatives, or find new reps who will support the people.

Big Secret Number Two
Way back in 1999, leading fluoride authority Hardy Limeback (B.Sc., Ph.D in Biochemistry, C.C.S., head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry for the University of Toronto, and president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research) apologized for previously championing fluoride added to public water.

“For the past 15 years I had refused to study the toxicology information that is readily available to anyone. Poisoning our children was the furthest thing from my mind,” he told an assembly of faculty and students at the University of Toronto.

Interviewed in the US, he said, “The vast majority of all fluoride additives come from Tampa Bay, Florida smokestack scrubbers. The additives are a toxic byproduct of the super-phosphate industry. Tragically, we’re not just dumping toxic fluoride into our drinking water; we’re also exposing unsuspecting people to deadly elements of lead, arsenic, and radium.”

Dr. Limeback found that regular ingestion of fluoride alters the basic architecture of human bones, making them weaker and brittle. He points out, cities that never fluoridated — in Canada and all across the industrialized world — have cavity rates lower than in cities with fluoridation.

But a decade after Dr. Limeback’s announcement, the Food and Drug Administration has given no warning to consumers, and American municipalities still fluoridate water. It’s another example of careless or corrupt bureaucracy favoring corporate profits and political payoffs over public welfare.

To regain our rights, citizens must push back a bureaucratic elite grown too big and powerful. Unlike recent generations, we can do our own research on the internet and begin taking responsibility away from inept, authoritarian bureaucrats.

Here’s a candid interview with Dr. Limeback, and one of his articles, with footnotes.

How to Obtain Water If Supply Is Contaminated Or Cut Off In An Emergency
WikiHow is a great source of everyday know-how. Here is one technique we all should know since water is the most urgent of needs in an emergency situation:

The Right To Grow And Purchase Local Organic Food Depends On Us
We talk a lot on this site about local food production for our own health and the health of our communities. Besides the economic crisis which may disrupt food supplies, the film trailer at the following link explains the growing threat to food sources by corporate giants granted patents and government-enforced monopolies on seed production, harvesting, and use. http://www.mercola.com/future-of-food/index.htm Our rights to produce and purchase local, organic foods depends on all of us refusing to accept products of monopoly corporations, and rejecting legislation that limits our choices.

Make Sure Your Neighborhood Has Water
When weather, earthquakes, or municipal bankruptcy disrupts water supplies, we must have supplies stored and know how to harvest water. Look up our earlier posts on solar water harvesting and purifying.
An estimated 30,000 to 60,000 people in Hawaii are dependent on rainwater catchment
systems for water needs. This book addresses water quality issues from the raindrop to the faucet. It includes chapters on water collection, storage, treatment, testing, and firefighting
concerns; and it gives an overview of the typical kinds of catchment equipment used in Hawaii.

Perennial = more food, less work
“I would recommend planting fruits that come back every year. Things like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, horseradish, grapes, asparagus, hots, fruit trees, nut trees, etc. Some of these take a few years to produce so plant what you can afford this year. Nut trees don’t seem
to be as popular as the other fruits but I would highly recommend them as a good source of easily stored and highly nutritious food, firewood, shade, and valuable timber. The National Arbor Day Foundation www.arborday.org has great deals on all kinds of trees. Membership is, I think, $10 a year and includes free trees. –DP poster JJames
