Every day 5.5milion people in the UK drink contaminated water. The water is polluted by a waste chemical that is a leftover product from aluminum manufacturing. This chemical is also used in the production of uranium, plastics, air conditioning, and rat poison. In certain forms, it is used in Prozac and Sarin nerve gas. Our government purposefully pollutes our drinking water. The chemical is sodium fluoride, the best way to allegedly keep your children’s teeth healthy.
For a long time, we have been brainwashed into thinking that fluoride is good for our teeth and that to consume it in our drinking water is a good thing. It’s even used in the water of soft drinks we consume. Its found in toothpaste in substantial amounts and is written on the sides of the packet to advertise the product. Because if it didn’t have it we wouldn’t buy it. We have been lead to believe it is something we need.
But do we actually know what it is and has it actually been proven to help our teeth? To answer that we have to take a look at where our fluoride actually comes from. To do that we have to look at the history of the aluminum industry. That’s right, not dentistry, but the history of aluminum manufacturing.
To extract aluminum from aluminum oxide the Hall–Héroult process is used. This process was discovered in 1886 by the American chemist Charles Martin Hall and by the Frenchman Paul Héroult in 1888. Hall also opened the first large-scale aluminum production plant, which later became ALCOA Inc. (Aluminum Company Of America).
In this process alumina, Al2O3 is dissolved in molten cryolite. This mixture is then electrolyzed by passing a direct electric current through it. The electrolysis process produces waste gases. The gases are primarily CO2 and hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen fluoride is a highly corrosive and toxic gas. The gases are either treated or vented into the atmosphere. The treated hydrogen fluoride is neutralized into its sodium salt, sodium fluoride.
In the past, this waste was very expensive to dispose of and was a hazard to the environment and human health. In early 1930?s when the gases were vented freely into the air, fluoride pollution caused widespread health and environmental troubles. The leading health professors of the time labeled fluoride as a poison that had a damaging effect on human health. In the rapidly growing industrial scene this was not good news for either industry or government, which was relying on industry for the economic and military power it was promising.
In October of this year (2010) red mud escaped into the countryside in Hungry, killing people and causing massive environmental destruction. Red mud is a waste product from producing aluminum just as fluoride is. The difference is fluoride cant be put in a pool and stored like red mud, it’s more difficult to dispose of. The industry realized this in the early 1900s. The fluoride gases caused widespread harm to people and the environment, as a result, the industry was being sued for the damage caused. It decided a safer way to dispose of fluoride was in our drinking water. If you were told red mud was good for you in small doses would you allow the government to add it to your water? Well, that’s what they have done with fluoride, and they actually have us believing its good for us!
It was certainly good for ALCOA, as all the lawsuits went away and they even GOT PAID for the fluoride they put in the water.
Lloyd DeEds, senior toxicologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1933 wrote “It is a well-established fact that chronic intoxication may manifest itself in man as recognized abnormalities only after constant, or at least frequent, exposure over many years….The possibility of fluoride hazard should…be recognized in industry…where this element is discharged into the air as an apparently worthless by-product.”
Because of the damage caused by fluoride in the 1930s, the government was actually trying to remove it from the water because it was seen as a dangerous and harmful chemical.
However, In 1939 a scientist funded by ALCOA by the name of Gerald J. Cox stated that “The present trend toward complete removal of fluoride from water and food may need some reversal.”
The cause for this claim came from a lab experiment that Cox conducted in which he fluoridated some lab rats and came to the conclusion that it reduced the cavities found in them. Gerald’s proposal then was that this tasteless, colorless substance should be added to all drinking water to help protect the teeth of children. As you can imagine ALCOA was very happy with this result and were huge supporters of the idea suggested by their scientist. What followed was a huge public relations campaign that tried to convince the public of the health benefits of adding fluoride to the water supply.
In 1947 Oscar R. Ewing, a long-time ALCOA lawyer became head of the Federal Security Agency (later HEW), a position that placed him in charge of the Public Health Service. He then initialized a national water fluoridation campaign. Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays conducted this PR campaign to promote fluorine ingestion on behalf of Ewing. By applying Freudian theory to induce public acceptance it became one of Bernays’s most successful campaigns.
“If you can influence group leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you automatically influence the group which they sway.” Edward Bernays from his book Propaganda
By using this methodology Bernays persuaded doctors and dentists of the benefits of fluoride. From there the population followed the new advice of the doctors that they looked to for guidance and care.
The first use of adding fluoride to drinking water was undertaken by the Nazi party who added it to the drinking water of the ghettos and prison camps. They found through human experimentation that fluoride actually made people more docile and subservient as well as sterilizing them. So it was an effective way to dominate people while also reducing the population. This is why Germany fluoridated Poland’s water supply before they invaded the country!
Many of those Nazi scientists found their way to America and were granted immunity despite their crimes against humanity. They brought with them all their knowledge and information on the human experiments they carried out.
Evidence of the effectiveness of fluoride to decrease cavities is nonexistent. In fact, there is a vast amount of evidence that concludes that it is ineffective and also detrimental to our health when ingested.
Dr. John Colquhoun, former Principal Dental Officer for Auckland, New Zealand changed his mind about fluoride when his worldwide study revealed that dental decay was “slightly better in children in non-fluoridated areas”
DR. Limeback Ph.D. in Biochemistry and a practicing dentist states that “fluoride in water has the effect of delaying tooth eruption and, therefore, simply delays dental decay. There are numerous modern studies to show that there no longer is a difference in dental decay rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas.” He adds “the families of children with rampant dental decay need professional assistance. Are they getting it? Children who grow up in low-income families make poor dietary choices and lack dental care. Untreated dental decay and lack of professional intervention result in more dental decay.”
There are no proven beneficial effects of sodium fluoride on teeth or the human body. There is a naturally occurring mineral found in foods that is called calcium-fluoride. This fluoride is not retained in the body like the poisonous sodium fluoride which slowly builds up over time.
Dr. E.H. Bronner nephew of Albert Einstein wrote in 1952 “Even in very small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective antidote has been found. Every exterminator knows that it is the most effective 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.”
George Racey Jordan, in a speech in Washington, D.C. on February 17, 1956, said
The original claims for fluoridation came from the discovery that Texas children seemed to have fewer cavities, which after all, is not a contagious disease. It was assumed to be due to the natural high percentage of calcium-fluoride in the soil. This type of fluoride is not retained in the body like the aluminum waste product [sodium fluoride].
The big problem has been for the aluminum manufacturers to so present, as to transfer the idea, of supposed benefits, from the natural calcium-fluoride, over to the unnatural sodium-fluoride.
They used the big lie technique, that, A FLUORIDE ION, is a FLUORIDE ION, whether it is in combination with calcium or sodium, it would make no difference to humans. They are completely lost if they cannot hold the line on this one point.
Their case falls like a house of cards if it is ever universally understood that calcium-fluoride which is found in hundreds of ordinary foods, is not retained in the body, to poison one, like the artificial aluminum waste product which is harmful, because, like arsenic, it is retained in the body.
The effects of this poison on the body are as follows:
Dental fluorosis – Fluorosis is not just a cosmetic effect. The more severe forms are associated with an increase in dental decay. Most children with moderate and severe dental fluorosis seek extensive restorative work.
Fluoride promotes the development of bone cancer in young boys according to a recently published Harvard study. Dr. Elise Bassin acknowledges that perhaps it is the use of these untested and contaminated fluorosilicates that caused the over 500% increased risk of bone cancer.
It lowers birth rates, sperm count, and testosterone levels.
Research into neurological effects points to Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, Attention Deficit Disorder and reduced IQ in children.
Adverse thyroid function: The recent National Academy of Sciences report (NAS: Toxicological Risk of Fluoride in Drinking Water, 2006) outlines in great detail the detrimental effect that fluoride has on the endocrine system, especially the thyroid.
Dr. Barry Durrant-Peatfield, a thyroid specialist, believes that fluoride is partially to blame for the high incidence of underactive thyroid problems (hypothyroidism) in Birmingham. He says, “There is no doubt that fluoride is enzyme disruptive and one thing it affects is thyroid hormones.” This is because fluoride interferes with the uptake of iodine crucial for the regulation of hormones.
Water in the West Midlands has been fluoridated for forty years. In 2003, the region topped the UK’s “fat list” with 22% of the population classed as clinically obese. Doctors are concerned that pregnant mothers ingesting fluoride from drinking water are predisposing their offspring to obesity.
In the US, an estimated 13 million women have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, and drugs used to treat hypothyroidism were the second most prescribed medication in 1999.
So why would it be added to our water if all these risks are associated with it, and there are no proven benefits?
In a letter to the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, the research chemist Charles Perkins wrote “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 1930?s Hitler and the German Nazis 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 the 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”.
So with this in mind what can we make of the UK government’s big fluoride push? Some areas of the UK have been fluorinated for a long time, but there are still many areas that aren’t fluorinated. Until 2009 Hampshire was one such area. In a test case to gauge public reaction, the government added the chemical to Hampshire’s water supply. Despite protests, the action went ahead and now more people are drinking polluted water.
This is just the start however, with the success of Hampshire the government is keen to spread the poison to other as yet nonfluorinated areas. A new law in 2003 allows health authorities to order private water companies to fluorinate the water supply. At present, about 5.5 million people drink fluoridated water.
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, and Italy have all banned the addition of fluoride to drinking water. So have Japan and India.
American packets of toothpaste now carry the following warning:
“WARNINGS: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek PROFESSIONAL HELP or contact a POISON CONTROL center immediately.”
An article in the Daily Mail (January 2010) stated that new research shows “Parents should use toothpaste with stronger concentrations of fluoride to prevent tooth decay in their children.”
This goes hand in hand with the advice I received from the local health visitor when my son was 2years old. She said that new research showed that you shouldn’t wash out the child’s mouth after brushing, that way they can swallow some toothpaste so they get ENOUGH fluoride.
So what are we to make of this? We have a chemical waste product that can seriously damage our body and mind. No scientific proof that concludes it provides any benefit for our teeth. A government that is very keen on adding it to all water supplies, and tells health professionals to advise us that our children should use more of it. While toothpaste packets contain poison warnings. If you still think this is a nice chemical to have in your body, enjoy your fluorinated Pepsi and continue to let your child with ADHD drink from the tap.
