  • 8/14/2019 Case Against Fluoride

    1/5

    I see a pro-flouridator has shown up. Should I bother finding sources, or will everything I find beincredible becaue I found it?

    "Even at 1ppm, fluoride in drinking water poisons cattle, horses and sheep" (Moules,

    G.R., Water Pollution Research and Summary of Current Literature, 1944.

    1943-53 US Public Health Service study of Bartlett TX correlates death rates withfluoride concentration

    """fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons..." "Chronic Fluorine Intoxication", JAMA,

    1943 Sep 18 (Grand rapids gets flouridated despite this warning.

    1944-8 Mantahhatan project aware of negative physiological and psycho-behavioral effects offluorides, via use of UF6 in the isotope separation process. Docs declassified from Nat'l Archivein '97 ... try specifically for a 1994 Apr 29 memo "Clinical evidence suggests that uraniumhexafluoride may have a rather marked central nervous system effect, with mental confusion,drowsiness and lassitude as the conspicuous features... it seems that the fluoride component isthe causative factor"

    "knowledge of the subject does not warrant the introduction of fluorine in communitywater supplies generally. Sodium fluoride is a highly toxic substance...the potentialitiesfor harm far outweigh those for good."

    " JA Dental A, 1944 Oct

    1945 Commonwealth Brewing COmpany charged by FDA with poisoning its beer with

    flouride: "an added poison or deleterious poison, fluoride, which was unsafe within themeaning of the statute (Section 301a of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act)" The jury wasinstructed that fluoride was established to be harmful and poisonous, and that quantity(.5ppm in this case) was unimportant

    1945 Fouridation of Grand Rapids begins despite above ADA warning. The ten-year

    study is terminated after one one year. The control, Muskegon, has fluoridation imposedand is thus destroyed.

    1945 fluoride's affinity for magnesium and manganese ions enables it to deplete their

    availability for vital enzyme functions. (Borei, H., "Inhibition of Cellular Oxidation byFluoride", Arkiv.Kemi,Mineral,Geol., 20A, No. 8, 1945). (Soviet?)

    1946-7 Reports from the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the Armed

    Forces note the dociling effect of fluorides in the water supplies at military bases.(Despite this, and assertions byproponents that fluoride is only useful during the growthof permanent teeth, adult-only military bases remain heavily fluorided.)

    (About this time Oscar Ewing, ALCOA's transplant to the Federal Security Agency, in

    charge of the Public Health Service, begins having fluoride naysayers painted as"deranged", etc. doesn't that sound familiar.)

    Forrestal opposes using fluoride to keep military men docile. ork Daily Times, Letters to

    the Editor from former FBI agent Wesley C. Trollope, Omaha, Neb., March 17, 1967).

    1950 The 24th edition of the U.S. Dispensatory (pp 1456-1457) defines fluorides as

    "violent poisons to all living tissue because of their precipitation of calcium...the use offluoride-containing dentifrices and internal medicants is not justified."

    1950 fluorides "lower hemoglobin and may cause irreversible loss of potassium from the

    red cells." C. W. Sheppard, Science

    (1950 Sugar industry joins efforts to impose fluoridation. US supplying fluoride to

    Soviets, who are using it keep prisoners subservient)

    "Some of the basic and necessary metabolic processes in the cell are stopped by

    concentrations of fluorides such as are found in acute poisoning. These changes arecomparable to those seen in high-grade anoxia and are the basis for describing fluoridesas general protoplasmic poisons." Cox & Hodge, JADA 1950 Apr, again 1962 Nov

    1951 JAMA disparages fluoride in Feb 10 issue

    1951 Public health service instructs dentists so say fluoride is okay even though it isn't.

    (Minutes/proceedings of the Wash DC meeting.)

    1952 Dr. A.L. Miller, former Nebraska Health Commissioner now Congressman, puts in

    the Congressional Record (Mar 24) how he had been bamboozled by Oscar Ewing. Millerwould also report to the Select Committee to Investigate Use of Chemicals in Food andCosmetics. that "The US Dental Assn made some examination and recommended to thefarmers that fluorine not be added to the water of pregnant sows because it did somethingto the pigs that were unborn"

    1952 JADA volte-faces and instructs its readers to withold their personal opinions of

    fluoride

    1953 Stillbirth rate in New Britian CT has more than doubled in the three years since

    fluoridation was imposed

    "The administration of fluorides to animals revealed histological changes in the thyroid,

    kidneys and bones, decline of enzyme activity and pathological changes in internalorgans and bones, a low health level and high mortality."

    Am J Public Health, 43:700-703, 1953

    (1953 Florence Birmingham testifies to Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce

    that Massachusetts has been doing fluoride experiments at state institutions for thefeebleminded on the orders of the state health department. A clear violation of theNuremberg Pact.)

    fluoride is carcinogenic in animals (A Taylor, "Sodium Fluoride in the Drinking Water of

    Mice",Dental Digest, Vol 60, pp170-172)

    1956 Cancer death rates found rising faster in fluoridated cities

    1954 61 of 81 living Nobel laureates in chemistry, medicine, and physiology disapprove

    of fluoridation (Christian Science Monitor poll...proponents continue to claimendoresement by "all reputable scientists")

    GE scientist K K Plauev points out a case of fraud in profluoridation's so-called science -

    fluoride had delayed eruption of permanent teeth, but these ungrown teeth were countedas "sound"

    1956 "skeletal deposition of fluoride is a continuing process in which a considerable

    portion of the ingested fluoride, perhaps 25 to 50%, is deposited in the skeleton." Hodge,

    J Am Dental Ass'n (yet proponents claim fluoride, for all its affinities, does notaccumulate)

    1956 Ionel Rapaport of the U of Wisconsin Psychiatric Institute correlates Downs'

    Syndrome with fluoridation

    1957 shortly after Santa Fe is subjected to fluoridation, mortality in State Game Bird

    Farm partridge chicks shoots up. It drops again when chicks are put on distilled water.

    1957 Thomas Douglas, puzzling over why so many of patients had oral lesions all of a

    sudden, discovered they all used fluorided toothpastes. ("Fluoride Dentifrice andStomatitis" Northwest Medicine, 1957 Sep)

    1957 ALCOA begins selling NaF directly to municipalities for drinking-waterfluoridation. NaF is already in use as rat poison

    1958 April 15000+-member Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

    "condemns the addition of any substance to the public water supply for the purpose ofaffecting the bodily or mental function of the consumer."

    1958 F.J. Stare of Harvard blatantly inverts the conclusion of a study (J of Nutrition, 62,

    561-573, 1957) on the nonessential nature of fluorine as a nutrient (Stare's BS is stillcited)

    1958 fluoride linked to genetic dmage (H J Muller, Symposium on Emphysema and

    Chronic Bronchitis: "Do Air Pollutants Act as Mutagens?", Aspen, Colorado, June 13-15)

    1958 7-member WHO expert c'tee on fluoride stacked with 5 known fluoride promoters.

    Research documenting poisoning from fluoridated water was rejected.

    1959 U of Melbourne finds that all profluoride "science" so far was faulty and/or

    fraudulent (Philip R.N. Sutton & Arthur B.P. Amies "Fluoridation Errors And Omissionsin Experimental Trials")

    1959 Rapoport replicates and extends the Downs' Syndrome linkage

    1959 experiment by J D Ebert in which fluorides were used as an enzyme inhibitor. In

    low concentrations sodium fluoride blocked almost completely the regions destined toform muscle, primarily affecting the heart muscle. In higher concentrations, it caused the

    entire embryo to disintegrate in a clear-cut pattern, starting with the heart-forming region. 1959 Ontario minster of heath bans fluoridation "no one knows for sure what the effect is

    to persons given fluoride throughout a lifetime." (Which isn't exactly true, but at least heacknowledges the proponents aren't telling the truth)

    1960 Nov 29 200x50-foot hole in San Franciso street ultimately attributed to water main

    corroded by flouridation

    1961 Dec 9 Colin Harrison in Australian Medical Journal "The biological activity of

    fluoride is not fully appreciated. It is a cytoplasmic toxin, interfering with the action ofoxidase enzyme systems..."

    1961 flouridation blamed for maiming, killing dogs and stillborn pups in Knoxville TN

    (Knoxville Free Press 1961 Oct 27) The town abandons fluoridation

    1961 "Fluoride is a well-known inhibitor of several enzyme systems, and can form

    spectroscopically recognizable compounds with the enzyme catalase, resulting in itsinhibition. Catalase poisoning has been linked with the development of viruses and thecausation of a number of diseases, including cancer..." R.A.Holman, Royal Institute ofPathology, in British Medical Journal, Apr 15

    Portugese study links 1ppm fluoride to hepatic and ureal impairment (Sullivan & Von

    Knobeledorff, Broteria Serie de Ciencias Naturais 1962)

    Knutson finds 22% more cancer deaths in Grand Rapids than Muskegon, despite the

    attempt to destroy the control (Fluoride Drinking Waters 1962 p.213)

    1962 Revision of Drinking Water Standards lists 0 as fluoride's safety factor

    1962 Noted oncologist Ludwig Gross in hot water for writing "The plain fact that

    fluoride is an insidious poison - harmful, toxic, and cumulative in its effects, even wheningested in minimal amount, will remain unchanged no matter how many times it will berepeated in print that 'fluoridation of the water supply is safe'"

    1963 Canadian study finds fluoride interferes with calcium supply "during periods of

    high metabolic demand" such as pregnancy (Archives of Environmental Health featured aCanadian, May 1963)

    1963 flouride correlated to cancer (Irwin Herskowitz and Isabel Norton "Increased

    Incidence of Melanotic Tumors...Following Treatment with Sodium Fluoride", Genetics,

    Vol 48, pp307-310)

    1963 U of WI studies correlate fluoride with stillbirths

    1967 Pittsburg Press, Oct 15, notes the crooked teeh 13-15 year olds have acquired - 15

    years after Pittsburgh imposes fluoridation

    As Sternglass concluded with radiation poisoning, the more of it there is, the stupider everyonegets, thus the less likely the problem gets corrected; indeed it's likely to be made worse. (Andcouple that to James Kerwin, Dental Digest, or F.W. Lengemann "The Metabolism of AlkalineEarth Metals by Bone" to AEC Division of Biology and Medicine, both 1959, showing fluorineand strontium have a pathogenic ball together. Plus A. ShatzLow Level Fluoridation and Low-Level Radiation -- Two Case Histories of Misconduct of Science Philadelphia, 1996).

    Fluoride may be all a very nice thing for your teeth when properly administered-- topicalapplication in regulated dose at the proper time of life. Fluoridated water, with its systemic,unregulated, lifetime dosage, and side effects acknowledged even by rabid proponents, is almostas far from a proper administration as you ca get. (That's a summation I got from my owndentist. See, in Canada, they're still allowed to tell the truth.) If you think fluoride is good todrink and needs to foisted upon everyon, chugalug a cupful of sodium flouride (rat poison).Please.

    Profuse thanks toVal Valerian which provided all that. Heaps more there, but I've lifted enoughto rebut the "no evidence fluoride is harmful" crap. -- Kwantus 22:56, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

    Even proponents of fluoridation have noted that examination of the evidence tends tocause antifluoridationism:Dr. William T. Jarvis, a member of the board of the AmericanCouncil of Science and Health...[spoke] on "The Psychology of Anti-fluoridation", noting

    that debates on fluoride always "seem to result in people becoming anti-fluoridationist."[4] -- Kwantus 01:14, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)Another example:In 1980 dentist John Colquhoun, then an ardent supporter offluoridation, was sent by officials from Wellington, the capital, on a world study tour offluoridation so that he would be qualified to lead a campaign to extend fluoridation inNew Zealand. After completing his tour and considering his research he became anoutspoken critic of fluoridation.[5] citingPerspectives in Biology & Medicine No 41,1-Autumn, 1997. University of Chicago. -- Kwantus 04:29, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)Another recanter: Hardy LimebackCanada's leading fluoride authority and, untilrecently, the country's primary promoter of the controversial additive...the crowningblow was the realization that we have been dumping contaminated fluoride into waterreservoirs for half a century. The vast majority of all fluoride additives come from TampaBay, Florida, smokestack scrubbers. The additives are a toxic byproduct of the super-phosphate fertilizer industry.[6][7] (emphasis added - two fer one!) -- Kwantus 15:47,20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
