"FLUORIDE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN THE PREVENTION OF TOOTH DECAY, AND NO FURTHER STUDIES OF ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH ARE NECESSARY." (Official Dentist's Fluoridation PR booklet) "The plain fact that fluorine is an insidious poison, harmful, toxic and cumulative in its effects, even when ingested in minimal amounts, will remain unchanged no matter how many times it will be repeated in print that fluoridation of the water supply is 'safe'." Ludwig Gross, M.D., former Chief of Veterans Administration Cancer Research, Bronx, NY. For the past 50 years the US public has been very convincingly persuaded to ignore the fluoride issue, but the serious facts about this issue keep repeating, and the situation appears to be degrading. The growing widespread concern over public apathy, rising health concerns, and the apparent stupidity of our school children keeps mounting. This fluoride issue is offered as one of several possible important answers to that problem. THE HALOGENS: The Halogen family consists of five chemical elements: Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. (Chlorine and Fluorine are chief ingredients of the CFC's, that are causing the current controversy with the ozone holes.) Depending upon use and dosage, the Halogens have a varying effect on the human mind, nervous system and metabolism. For example one of the most popular current hospital anesthetics, "Halothane", contains Fluorine, Chlorine, and Bromine. BROMINE --The Australians reportedly issued Bromide tea to their soldiers in World War II, to decrease their sex urge and thus lower the incidence of VD. --Per a recent Internet search, investigators looking into the Gulf War Syndrome found that all 695,000 troops in the Persian Gulf War were involuntarily administered the unproven, experimental toxicity-enhancer, Pyridostigmine Bromide (PB) supposedly as a nerve agent pre-treatment medication. Officials estimated that approximately two-thirds of those troops took the drug for varying periods of time. However, DoD scientists who studied Pyridostigmine and nerve agent Sarin concluded that PB should only be used when the threat is nerve agent Soman; Pyridostigmine pre-treatment unfortunately makes individuals MORE vulnerable to Sarin. Defense intelligence knew before the war that Iraq did not manufacture, stockpile, or use Soman; just one Iraqi chemical plant was estimated to produce up to TWO TONS of Sarin per day, however. CHLORINE --Chlorine Gas and chlorine-bearing Mustard gas were feared in Europe in World War I, and they are still currently in the chemical-warfare arsenal of many countries. Chlorine gas was reportedly released in Iraq during the Gulf War. --Chlorine is widely added to U.S. drinking water today for the sole purpose of killing something, while natural water oxygenation treatments as used in Europe are much more safe for human consumption. FLUORINE --Fluorine is the most highly-reactive and chemically unstable of ALL existing chemical elements. Fluorine is not found by itself in nature, because it is so unstable that it chemically combines--violently, in many cases--with practically any other element. --Fluorine has the strongest effect of all the halogens. Fluorine is one of the major ingredients in the controversial psycho-active psychiatric drug PROZAC (Fluoxetene Hydrochloride), and also in deadly Sarin military nerve gas, U.S. designation GB. (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl Fluoride). --While one lethal dose of Sarin would fit on the head of a pin, the U.S. arsenal stockpiles literally billions of lethal doses. In just two examples, 10 million pounds of sarin are stored in weapons at the Tooele, Utah Army Depot, and another 550,000 pounds are in the Blue Grass Army Depot near Richmond, Kentucky. (Page A4, Anchorage Daily News, Tuesday, 23 January 96.) Other countries--especially Russia--also have comparable stockpiles of nerve agents, if not more. Chemical Warfare (CW) research and manufacture is ongoing. --The nerve-gas Soman (GD) is chemically similar to Sarin (GB), and they both contain fluorine. They are called "nerve" agents because they directly attack and destroy the nervous system. According to an EPA report (following), once you remove the fluorine from Sarin, all that remains is a non-toxic acid. In other words, fluorine--the same fluorine that is in our drinking water--is what gives sarin its "kick". --The U.S. was openly selling nerve gas ingredients to Iraq as late as 1984, until the State Department banned the export of certain chemical substances to Iraq: "U.S. Halts Shipment of Chemicals to Iraq (AP) WASHINGTON - U.S. Customs agents in New York impounded a shipment of 74 drums of potassium fluoride, a principal ingredient of a deadly form of nerve gas, to Iraq, the Customs Service said Saturday. . ." (Page 1, Battle Creek Enquirer, 1 April 1984). The shipment was destined for the "Ministry of Pesticides" in Baghdad. No mention was made of the quantity of such chemicals that had been sold to Iraq before the ban. --Details on nerve warfare agents can be found at this website: http://www.opcw.nl/chemhaz/nerve.htm --The infamous date-rape hypnotic drug "Roofs" (Rohypnol) is fluorinated Valium, which is reportedly 20-30 times more potent than Valium alone. Note the following article: "DEA WANTS 'DATE RAPE' DRUG CLASSIFIED. Washington - An illegal sedative nicknamed the "date rape" drug should be put in the same category as heroin, cocaine and LSD in the next three months, the Drug Enforcement Administration said Thursday. The agency recommended that Rohypnol, connected to more than 2,400 criminal investigations nationwide, be declared a Schedule 1 drug, DEA spokesman Jim McGivney said." (Page 6, Anchorage Daily News, June 21, 1996.) --Fluorine is widely added to drinking water today strictly as mass-medication, supposedly to help the teeth of children under 14 years of age. In spite of the initial stated purpose of "helping the teeth of children under 14", our military bases were among the first drinking water supplies to be involuntarily fluoridated over 40 years ago. Over 60% of the U.S. fresh water supplies are currently fluoridated, and according to pro-fluoride promotional literature, current plans are to increase this to over 90% within just a few years. --Note the following entry in an EPA/NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) Hazardous Waste book, on page 3066 under SODIUM FLUORIDE: "An experimental tumorigen [deliberately used to cause cancer in laboratory experiments] and teratogen [deliberately used to cause monstrous abnormalities in lab experiments]. Human system overdose effects: Burning, prickling, tingling, itching of the skin, drooping of the eyelid, tremors, extra fluid intake, muscle weakness, headache, EKG [brainwave] changes, cyanosis [bluish skin color from inadequate oxygen], respiratory depression, hypermotility [extremely physically active], diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, salivary gland changes, changes in teeth and supporting structures, musculo-skeletal changes, increased immune system response, and human mutatogenic data [mutates human cells, in other words]. A corrosive irritant to eyes and mucous membranes. Experimental reproductive effects. It is very phytotoxic [toxic to plant life]. Used in chemical cleaning, for fluoridation of drinking water, as a fungicide and insecticide. ... May be a carcinogen." --In the same reference, page 1735 under FLUORIDES: "Can cause or aggravate attacks of asthma and severe bone changes, making normal movements painful. Some signs of pulmonary fibrosis are noted. Some enzyme systems effects are reported. Loss of weight, anorexia [loss of appetite], anemia, wasting and cachexia [general wasting of the body during a chronic disease], and dental defects are among the common findings in chronic fluoride poisoning. Symptoms of intoxication include gastric, intestinal, circulatory, respiratory and nervous complaints and skin rashes." FLUORIDE A FLUORIDE is a combination of the chemical element Fluorine with some other substance. 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, military nerve gas, and U.S. drinking water. Advertisements by Alcoa Aluminum recommending that we add sodium fluoride to our drinking water supply, can be found in old periodicals dated BEFORE fluoridation was officially approved by the authorities. Fluoride promoter Oscar Ewing, head of the Federal Security Agency (FSA) senior to the U.S. Public Health Service in 1951, left the employ of Alcoa Aluminum not long before he headed up the U.S. fluoridation campaign in the early 1950's. (Follow the money) Toxic sodium fluoride and its more toxic fluorinated cousins like potassium fluoride have historically been quite expensive to properly and safely dispose of, until around 1950 when some industries with an overabundance of this toxic waste actually convinced the public on the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of selling it to the public at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our fresh water supply, and then DRINKING it. Yes, a 20,000% markup: Fluoride--intended originally for human consumption only by children under 14 years of age--is injected into our drinking water supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink approximately 1/2 of one percent of the total water supply, the rest literally goes down the drains as a free hazardous-waste disposal site for the chemical industry, where we PAY them for the "privilege" of flushing their expensive hazardous wastes down our sewers. How many salesmen dream of such a deal? (Follow the money.) Independent scientific evidence 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. One broad study found a direct relationship between areas that were fluoridated, and reports of hip fractures among the elderly. Fluorine has a natural affinity for calcium. (Sodium fluoride rat poison rapidly alters the calcium metabolism of the body, rapidly destroys enzyme activity, and severely interferes with functions of the nerve channels.) The most common form of fluorine in nature is Calcium Fluoride, commonly called Fluor-spar. Fluor-spar is relatively stable, and thus is less toxic than the man-made toxic-waste derivations of fluorine. However, even calcium fluoride causes adverse reactions in humans, depending upon how much fluorine is released. Take India, for example. Due to the fact that millions of people in India are afflicted with fluorosis (excessive fluoride disease) such as malformed spine, neck and pelvis, weakened tooth structure and mottled or discolored teeth, there have been much more thorough scientific studies performed in India on fluoridated water, than in the West. In an extensive government-sponsored study Dr. A.K. Susheela of the India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, found that (contrary to American Dental Association literature) fluoride severely disrupts the formation of the bone matrix, thereby inhibiting the proper hardening of bones. Dr. Susheela's work was so stunning and so conclusive that in 1986 it prompted the Indian government to authorize the construction of defluoridation plants for their drinking water. The top-priority for India's defluoridation campaign is pregnant women and young breast-fed children. The studies conclusively showed that high levels of fluoride in drinking water are clearly associated with birth defects, stillbirths, and early infant mortality. Dr. Susheela developed a blood test which enables early detection of fluoride toxicity before bone and teeth disorders became irreversible. India's responsible research on fluoride toxicity is a properly ethical, up-to-date scientific model, which contrasts strongly with irresponsible and authoritarian fluoridation policy in the West which is based on unethical, low scientific standards and high political opinion. Our major policy decisions demonstrably hinge upon nothing more than emotionally-charged debate where an "expert" dentist endorses an "expert" doctor who refers to "thousands of fluoride studies" in a closed loop like a snake swallowing its own tail, meanwhile neither of them has done their real homework on the subject or they would find that the "thousands of studies" refuting harm FACTUALLY DO NOT EXIST. $20,000 REWARD FOR ANY PROOF THAT FLUORIDE WORKS. Dr. Robert Mick, DDS, was one of the original scientists who promoted fluoridation, until he did his own animal studies on sodium fluoride in the late 1940's and then abruptly changed his mind after authorities ordered him to cover up his test results. He refused, and proceeded to do some more research on those very authorities. Dr. Mick's studies prompted him to confidently present this challenge: "$20,000 to the first individual who can provide one copy of any controlled experiment with any of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) recommended fluorides in water, at the USPHS recommended parts-per-million, which shows that poisonous fluorides are safe and will cause no future body harm." Dr. Mick's $20,000 offer has been valid since the 1950's, but per a 1991 radio interview, Dr. Mick said that nobody had yet presented even one claim to him in hopes of collecting the reward. His address is 916 Stone Road, Laurel Springs, New Jersey. He put his money where his mouth is, with no takers. ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND FLUORIDE: There are reports of aluminum in the brain possibly being a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease. 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 an easy chemical access to brain tissue. Evidently Alzheimer's Disease came along after people started using aluminum cookware. Isabel Jansen, R.N., wrote of a simple experiment regarding the use of aluminum pots, where you can easily prove for yourself that both the aluminum and the fluoride content in water both increase dramatically, when combined: "In January 1987, experiments performed at the Medical Research Endocrinology Dept., Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and the Physics Dept of the Univ. of Ruhana, Sri Lanka, showed that fluoridated water at 1 ppm, when used in cooking in aluminum cookware, concentrated the aluminum up to 600 ppm, whereas water without fluoride did not. (Science News, 131:73) (Note: Why wasn't this simple test ever financed and done in the U.S.?) "The researchers suggested that because of the known fact that aluminum is neuro-toxic and is in abnormally high concentrations in the brain of Alzheimer's and other neurological disease victims, including AIDS, that these findings raise questions about adding fluoride to the water supply of communities to reduce tooth decay. "Because of these findings, a test was made of Antigo, Wisconsin water which had been fluoridated for 33 years. The water was examined by a certified Wisconsin laboratory, and showed that when it was used in cooking in aluminum cookware, it concentrated the aluminum by 833 times and increased the fluoride content by 100%. "The maximum allowed aluminum content of water is set by the World Health Organization at 200 micrograms per liter. This makes Antigo water, when cooked in aluminum, 75 times over the maximum. No test was made of distilled water, as the Antigo Water Dept. does not dispense distilled water. Antigo water pipes are also encrusted with (calcified) fluoride from 26 to 3,100 ppm. This latter was analyzed and diagnosed by the Wisconsin Dept of Hygiene as being aluminum fluoride. Regardless of which findings are true, to chance exchanging a hole in a tooth---which can be repaired at a nominal fee---for dementia (organic brain disorder) in later years, for which there is no remedy at any price, hardly seems to be a good bargain. "Therefore, it would seem imperative that other communities test their water in the same manner to see if it produces the same results, as tests may vary depending on the mineral variations of the water and the type of aluminum cookware. This simple test can be done by anyone, with the help of a laboratory to do the analysis." ISABEL JANSEN, R.N. (Journal of the National Academy of Research Biochemists - Jan/Feb '90) Legitimate scientists who have repeatedly attempted to blow the whistle on the mega-bucks fluoride PR scam have consistently been given a very unscientific Black-PR treatment, and thus their valid facts disputing the current vested interests never arrived in the press. (Follow the money.) THE ORIGINAL FLUORIDATION CAMPAIGN In 1952 a slick PR campaign was initiated, headed by Oscar Ewing who was once an Alcoa Aluminum attorney and spurred on by a dentist named Bull. This campaign ramrodded the concept of water fluoridation through our national Public Health departments and various national and local dental organizations. The campaign was better described as a highly-emotional "beer-salesman's convention" instead of the objective scientific experiment which it should properly have been. Fluoridation has continued in that same emotional, unscientific vein right up to present time. To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of this issue, take an honest, objective look at the response given by people when the subject of fluoridation comes up. By all means, ask your dentist. Ask yourself honestly, "Is this response UNBIASED AND OPENLY-INTERESTED SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVITY, or is it PREJUDICED EMOTIONAL BLUSTER?" There is a tremendous amount of emotional subjective opinion attached to fluoridation. Ask an MD about the possible toxic effects of fluoride, and instead of correctly referring you to a toxicologist, he'll respond that he trusts his dental colleagues who say that fluoride is not toxic. Ask a dentist, and he'll respond that he trusts whatever he was told in dental school. Both have convincing answers which whitewash this toxic hazardous waste and make it sound as if it is a vitamin or a nutrient, but keep in mind that both of those opinions are only from vested-interest individuals who receive a VERY GOOD standard of living that is strictly dependent upon the illness of others. They might have a good heart and they probably do, but even they cannot deny that their professional training from day one, came from a vested interest that endorses giving them attractive kick-back benefits and vacations etc. for their referrals to expensive drug prescriptions and medical procedures. Seen from the standpoint of the pharmaceutical industry, it's quite handy and profitable to have virtually ALL doctors and dentists voluntarily standing up for them and being their well-paid professional "agents" in the community at large. They don't even have to PAY their own agents, but the "victims" do! The only visibility the vested-interests have is their incessant multi-million-dollar TV drug commercials which they hammer the public with, day and night. 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 received 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. As they say, "It's only business." DIABETICS SHOULD NOT DRINK FLUORIDATED WATER: 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, which is also accumulative in the body. Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of the kidneys, which is your main route of fluoride elimination. 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. There is no data as to what effects "standard" fluoridated water causes to kidney patients on dialysis, but this should be highly questioned. WHEN DID THIS FLUORIDATION MADNESS BEGIN? The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water was found in Germany's Nazi prison camps, which were maintained partly by I.G. Farben. 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 them into calm submission. (Ref. book: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph Borkin.) I.G. FARBEN DEVELOPED FLUORINATED SARIN AND SOMAN NERVE GAS: The name "SARIN" is an acronym of the names of the four key I.G. Farben employees involved in its initial chemical formulation and production: Schrader, Ambros, Rudriger, and Van Der Linde. Otto Ambros was the production chief of I.G. Farben's poison gas facilities in Germany. (See Ambros' photo on p. 286 of "World Without Cancer" by G. Edward Griffin.) Sarin was developed to replace deadly Malathion and Zyklon B nerve gases, specifically with the intent to exterminate millions of people. Fluoride-bearing Sarin was reportedly so strong, "it made Zyklon B look like underarm deodorant." (The Dickinson Statement, "Health Consciousness", October 1988) PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONY: 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 invisible 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 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: "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. "We discussed in these schools, the complete art of revolution: the seizure of the main utilities, such as light, power, gas, and water, but it was felt by the leadership that if a program of fluoridating of the water could be carried out in the nation, it would go a long way toward the advancement of the revolution. "The above statements are true." Oliver Kenneth Goff. (Signed & notarized 6/22/57.) 20 years after Mr. Goff was indoctrinated on the Communist purposes of fluoridating U.S. water supplies, in New York there appeared an article in the 13 April 1956 issue of THE COMMUNIST DAILY WORKER entitled "Facts Spur Campaign for Fluoridation Here": "Politicians of the [New York] City Council and Board of Estimate are timid men who are catering to misguided sentiment, outmoded tradition, and backward fears of the unscientific. A widespread educational campaign among both the politicians and people on the value of the Board of Health's program for fluoridation is certainly indicated." Note that the DAILY WORKER was commonly used to give widespread advice to all Communists in America. Therefore the above article was official Party line instructions on how to stigmatize people who opposed fluoridation as being "misguided", "outmoded", "backward", and "unscientific." Incidentally, a review of current ADA literature on how to handle opponents to fluoridation parrots that same Party line even today, almost word-for-word. Pure coincidence of course. (Follow the money.) Just for practice, read the above news quote aloud to a friend, and you'll figure out for yourself if the Communists were only humanely concerned about the dental health of our American children, in 1956. AMERICA SENT RAT POISON TO STALIN'S SIBERIAN PRISONERS, VIA LEND-LEASE: Russia's use of sodium fluoride during World War II was entered into the Congressional Record in the early 1950's. USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress that he had been stationed in Great Falls, Montana during the war as a U.S.-Soviet liaison officer. Major Jordan stated that one of his tasks had been to procure "vast quantities" of sodium fluoride for shipment to Siberia via numerous Lend-Lease airplanes which we were sending to Russia from Montana, via Canada and Alaska. (7,926 airplanes were sent to Russia via this route.) Major Jordan testified that the Russians openly admitted to "... using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient." Of related interest, regarding "follow the money": In his book, "From Major Jordan's Diaries" (Doubleday & Co, 1952), Major Jordan gives dates and shipment numbers of our generous Lend-Lease program's many illicit shipments of secret U.S. documents and ATOMIC MATERIALS, including a whopping 1,200 POUNDS of CONCENTRATED URANIUM ORE--plus 2 pounds of refined uranium and some heavy water--in 1943, to Stalin via the Lend-Lease airplanes and ships which we freely gave to Russia. This was thanks to Mr. Harry Hopkins, who headed the Lend-Lease Program and who had an office in Roosevelt's White House. It was a surprise to America when the Russians detonated their first atomic bomb test in September 1949, but few Americans knew that generous and treasonous donations of nuclear blueprints (some plainly labeled "Manhattan Project") and raw materials to the Soviets actually began in 1943. More data on this treason can be found in the recent book "Dark Sun - The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb" by Richard Rhodes, as well as on this Internet website containing a transcript of Major Jordan's book: http://www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/mjd1.html How expensive is uranium today? July 23, 1994: The Austin Texas American Statesman ran an article describing how Istanbul, Turkey police had recently seized 22 pounds of uranium, believed to have been smuggled from a former Soviet republic. The estimated value of those 22 pounds of uranium was $825 million. Given that, then what was the value of the 1,200 pounds of concentrated uranium ore (plus frills) that our Lend-Lease program freely gave to Stalin in 1943? History tells us that this supremely treasonous action headed by Harry Hopkins was a major long-term cause of the tremendously expensive (but highly profitable for the self-serving defense industry) cold war which changed our national debt graph into an exponential curve. Quoting a State Department report dated June 1944, prepared by our USSR Ambassador Averell Harriman, "Stalin paid tribute to the assistance rendered by the United States to Soviet industry before and during the war. He said that about two-thirds of all large industrial enterprise in the Soviet Union had been built with United States help or technical assistance." (Following the money, Averill Harriman was also the head of Brown Brothers Harriman Bank, the largest privately-held bank in the world. The record shows that both Harriman and his Managing Director Prescott Bush--George's dad--in the early 1930's had been instrumental in financing Adolph Hitler, and also had strong financial connections with I.G. Farben. Details can be found in GEORGE BUSH: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY, by Anton Chaitkin and Webster Tarpley.) FLUORIDE POLITICS 1952: The Delaney Committee 82nd Congress Hearings on Fluoride revealed that there was no actual scientific basis for the fluoridation of water supplies in the prevention of tooth decay. The recommendation of the Committee was that more research be done, before proceeding with this national mass medication. Their recommendation was totally ignored. 1953: In a joint speech, U.S. Surgeon-General Scheele and Health, Education & Welfare Undersecretary Nelson (follow the money) Rockefeller announced hopeful plans to put more medicine than just fluoride into the U.S. water supplies: "Dr. Scheele, in discussing mass-application methods for preventing non-infectious diseases, said a case in point was fluoridation of water supplies to reduce tooth decay. Nearly 800 cities throughout the country have adopted the technique during the past 10 years, he said. Such a community-wide attack on "far more serious diseases than dental decay" probably will be forthcoming after laboratory tests have paved the way, he predicted." (Paterson Evening News, 11/6/53) 1950's comment by Edward L. Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud and PR man for the fluoridation project under Oscar Ewing: "... the most direct way to reach the mind of the HERD is through the leaders. ... Public Health Officers cannot afford the professional modesty professed by physicians. A redefinition of ethics is necessary.... and the subject matter of the propaganda need not necessarily be true." (Book: Crystallizing Public Opinion, by E. L. Bernays.) VALID SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS NEVER BECOME OUTDATED The first available ADA Journal entry on fluoride was in 1936. Here are a few quotes from that issue (#23, pages 569-570, 1936): (Fluorine is not an essential nutrient): "Studies by Sharpless and McCollum (Sharpless, G.R. and McCollum, E.V.: Journal of Nutrition, 6:163 March 1933) furnish information regarding the biological role of fluorine. They found that young rats (aged from 16 to 18 days) contain little, if any, fluorine, whereas, adult rats have considerable fluorine in the bones and teeth, the amount varying with the diet fed, and increasing with age." "By feeding rats an experimental diet in which care was taken to keep the fluorine content at a minimum, the following observations were made: Reproduction was unaffected; the fluorine content of the bones could be "reduced to between 6 and 25 ppm, and could be eliminated from the teeth, without showing any gross deleterious effect" and no change was produced in the calcium to phosphorus ratio in the bones. This evidence supports the idea that fluorine plays no important useful biologic role." "On the contrary, there is an increasing volume of evidence of the injurious effects of fluorine, especially the chronic intoxication resulting from the ingestion of minute amounts of fluorine over long periods of time. The studies conducted by Dr. Smith and her co-workers at the Univ. of Arizona have shown that 1 ppm, and possibly .8 PPM of fluorine will produce definite signs of enamel dystrophy in children born and reared in an endemic [peculiar to a people or nation] area." "Such data enable us to calculate the approximate dosage of fluorine per unit of body weight per day, capable of producing a definite degree of tooth injury in the majority of children. During the first six years of life, the body weight ranges from approximately 7 pounds at birth to about 40 pounds at the age of 6. The average weight during this period is about 25 pounds, or 12 kg. If it is assumed that the average daily water intake is 1 quart, or 1 liter, a fluorine content of .8 PPM would mean a lifetime fluorine intake of .8 milligrams per day, which for 12 kg. of body weight would be .07 mg. per day, per kilogram of body weight." [Note: Actual intake in the 1990's is twice that amount.] "It is interesting to compare this value for the injurious fluorine dosage, with the values that have been determined experimentally for lead and arsenic in the white rat. Lead acetate added to the food will check the growth and appetite of the white rat, when a dosage of from .7 micrograms to 150 micrograms per day per kilogram of body weight is administered. This wide dosage range is due to variation in susceptibility of the rats and to variation in the severity of the symptoms. Addition of arsenic trioxide to the food causes loss of body weight in the white rat when the dosage is from 1.5 to 5 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day. Such a comparison of toxicity data suggests that fluorine, lead and arsenic belong to the same group, as far as ability to cause some symptom of toxicity in minute dosage is concerned. Thus far, the ability of fluorine to induce chronic intoxication when administered in minute amounts over long periods of time has been considered." "Let us now pass on to the general actions of fluorine and its action on bones and teeth. Fluorine, a general protoplasmic poison, exerts a strong inhibitory action on many enzymes. The more complex inorganic compounds containing fluorine are frequently toxic because of a direct action of the compound itself, or because of a conversion of the complex compound, as by hydrolysis [changing by taking up the elements of water], into simpler compounds, such as the simpler fluorides." "Similarly, many organic compounds containing fluorine are toxic because of a liberation of fluorine in the presence of protoplasm [the substance--fluids, cells, etc.--that is the physical basis of life]. Moreover, even in the absence of such disintegration of the organic molecule with liberation of fluorine, the presence of fluorine in the molecule often enhances the toxicity of an organic compound. It has been shown by Lehmann (Lehmann, F.: Arch f. Exper. Path. u. Pharmakol., 130:250, 1928) that the introduction of fluorine into the side chain of aromatic compounds, such as toluene and m-toluidine, increased the toxicity to frogs. The toxic effect of fluorine compounds on yeast has been studied by Effront (Effront, J.: 1892, Jrnl Chem. Society, A. 1532, 1891; A. 905, 1892; A. II, 425, 1894.) and by Arthus and Gavelle. (Arthus and Gavelle: Compt. Rend. Society de Biol., 55:1481, 1903)" --That wasn't the end of the ADA Journal reference, but you get the idea. In spite of such valid early studies reported in the ADA Journal, the ADA and USPHS scientific opinion was later regulated more by lobbyists than by scientists, on the fluoride issue. Their literature of today emphatically indicates that as long as your teeth are free of cavities, the longevity of the rest of your body is not open for discussion. The carefully-biased literature repeatedly and exclusively hammers the dental benefit point, meanwhile carefully avoiding references to any bodily toxic load, or what the huge quantity of fluorides are doing to the environment. ENVIRONMENTAL RULE OF THUMB: 130 LETHAL DOSES OF FLUORIDE PER PERSON, ANNUALLY Think this through: --Fluoride slowly accumulates in our bodies as well as in the environment. It doesn't just blow away in the wind, nor get easily expelled in the urine. It first goes to the bone, then to the teeth, then to the hard tissue such as cartilage, tendons, and blood vessel walls, and finally what's left over gets excreted via the kidneys. Approximately 50% of the fluorine ingested, remains and accumulates in the body. --Fluoride cannot be removed from drinking water with a charcoal filter; only a reverse-osmosis filter or steam distilling process will remove fluoride. Boiling water for soup, coffee, tea or other drink, only concentrates fluoride. --Approximately 1,200 mg (1.2 grams) of sodium fluoride ("just a pinch") will kill an adult human being. That was the low estimate that Dominic Smith ingested when he died from an overdose of fluoridated water at Hooper Bay, Alaska on 23 May 1992. (Approximately 200 mg will kill a small child.) --Water utility companies advertise that they supply us with approximately 115 gallons of fresh water per person, per day. That's approximately 400 liters per person, daily. --Humans only drink approximately one-fourth of one percent of the fresh water supplied by the water utility companies. Therefore, for every 400 liters per person that gets supplied, just 1 liter get swallowed in food or drink (including coffee, juice, soda pop, soups or any other beverage made with fluoridated water), while the other 399 liters of water goes for baths, watering lawns, washing cars, flushing toilets, putting out fires, etc. --In the fluoridation process at the water treatment plant, fluoride is added to our water supply at the rate of one part per million, or 1 milligram per liter. One milligram is the daily intended "target dose" of this medicine, for each child under 14 years of age whose teeth haven't yet fully formed. (Adults and pets supposedly don't count in this equation, even though they also receive their own fluoride in extremely unreliable and varying dosages.) Therefore, for every 400 liters of water supplied to us, a full 400 milligrams of fluoride is added to the water supply. However, since only 1 milligram of that amount (one liter of water) is swallowed, 399 milligrams of excess fluoride literally gets flushed down into the sewer or sprayed out onto the ground as a fully legal toxic waste dumping ground. (And we pay $400.00 for just $1.00 worth of medicine.) Since we even bought the toxic waste, that's quite profitable for whomever manufactured and sold it, but not very healthy for Mother Earth. --BOTTOM-LINE LETHAL QUANTITY: Exactly how many lethal doses are disseminated in this manner? Simple math on the above numbers reveals that 140 grams of fluoride per person is dumped into the environment each year. 140 grams of fluoride gives us our rule of thumb of 130 LETHAL DOSES OF FLUORIDE PER PERSON, PER YEAR, DUMPED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT wherever "standard" water fluoridation is used. --Multiply 130 by 150 million people (the total number of U.S. population currently drinking fluoridated water) and that makes 20 billion lethal doses of fluoride per year, dumped into our environment. That's an additive 10 million tons of rat-poison spread across America yearly, in the name of dental health. What does this actually do to the environment? Some small animals, such as chinchillas, have a low tolerance for fluoridated water. Note this 1964 letter from Mr. R.J. Marshall, in British Columbia: "AN OPEN LETTER TO RESIDENTS OF THE OKANAGAN: Dear fellow citizens; I have been a chinchilla rancher in Kelowna since 1952. My herd was healthy and prolific until the introduction of sodium fluoride into Kelowna domestic water. In the first year I noticed no ill effects. After the first year the animals began to die in increasing numbers, and the offspring of such parents proved sterile. As time went on more and more of the animals died soon after birth. By the year 1964 not only was the birth rate of my herd extremely low but 72 percent of those born failed to survive. My herd was then completely bankrupt." "Another breeder moved into the Kelowna fluoridated area from unfluoridated East Kelowna and his losses were parallel to mine. When by chance we compared notes we discovered that losses to both had commenced after our herds had consumed fluoridated water. My friend never had any such trouble before. Both of us had been successful breeders, and we are both officers of the Chinchilla Breeders Association. When we realized the cause of our troubles we began feeding our chinchillas water that is not polluted with sodium fluoride. Now with pure water we are recovering from our difficulties; but I had to acquire new stock because most of my surviving animals were permanently sterile." "We learned, by comparing notes with experienced people all over the continent, that our losses are by no means the first in fluoridation history. It is common knowledge among U.S. chinchilla breeders that chinchillas can not tolerate fluoridated water. This is also true of hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, rats, and rabbits. They become sterile and die if they are fed sodium fluoride indefinitely, at "recommended" concentrations and even lower. ..." What evidence is there of environmental pollution causing problems more close to home? Note USA Today's 28 May, 1993 article entitled DECREASING SPERM COUNTS BLAMED ON ENVIRONMENT: "Dramatic drops in sperm counts in the past few decades may be due to rising levels of environmental estrogen, as well as substances that act like estrogen, a new report says. The amount of sperm produced by the average man has dropped by half in the last 50 years, say researchers in the medical journal LANCET. ..." It takes no huge stretch of the imagination to offer fluorides as a possible factor in the above equation, considering the quantity of fluorides currently being distributed as well as their known similar effect on living organisms. There are only several hundred registered toxicologists in the entire country. The subject of fluoride is actually the home territory of toxicologists rather than dentists or doctors, but note that the fluoride promoters never use toxicologists as a reference because toxicologists (who are bright enough to know that God isn't stupid enough to have created man with an inherent deficiency of rat poison, and who have seen what rat poison actually does to rats, and who are usually quite independent of vested interests) are almost uniformly against fluoridation. Just locate some toxicologists, and ASK them. INTERESTING FLUORIDE QUOTES "Fluorides are violent poisons to all living tissue because of their precipitation of calcium. They cause fall of blood pressure, respiratory failure, and general paralysis. Continuous ingestion of non-fatal doses causes permanent inhibition of growth." (U.S. Dispensatory, 24th Edition, pp. 1456-57.) "Although it is true that the enamel of adult teeth is unaffected by fluorine, the dentine, which receives nutrients from the blood stream continually and whose composition is subject to change, will suffer. ... An inhibitory effect on the action of enzymes, characteristic of antiseptics in general, is a property of all inorganic fluorides. Evidence has been established that there is a specific influence of fluorides on certain enzymatic changes associated with carbohydrates and fats. The results of a study conducted by Kastle and Loevenhart on the effect of antiseptics on the reactions of pancreatic and liver extracts revealed a harmful effect on most substances studied. ... Solutions of sodium fluoride with a fluorine content as low as 1 part in 15 million may inhibit the action of the lipase (pancreatic juice) as much as 50 percent." (THE MENACE OF FLUORINE TO HEALTH, Univ. of New Mexico, 1 Aug 1938, pages 19-21.) "Fluorine is known to be an enzymatic inhibitor which interferes with metabolism of breakdown of glucose, between the 6 carbon and 3 carbon compounds. The metabolim of glucose or its breakdown is our primary source of energy for maintaining life and doing useful work." (Dr. Paul H. Phillips, Univ of Wisconsin, Dept of Bichemistry) >From proven experiments supported by the Medical Facility of the Univ. of Praetoria, S. Africa: "Long-continued ingestion of minute quantities of fluorine causes disease of the thyroid gland." (Dr. Doug D. Styne, Dept of Pharmacology) "We ought to go slowly. Everybody knows that fluorine and fluorides are very poisonous substances and we use them in enzyme chemistry to poison enzymes, those vital agents in the body. That is the reason things are poisoned; because enzymes are poisoned, and that is why animals and plants die." Mr. James B. Sumner, Director of Enzyme Chemistry, Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition, Cornell University, and a Nobel Prize winner for his work in the field of enzyme chemistry. "It is known as a scientific fact that fluoride is a deadly poison to enzymes, upon which all life depends." Dr. J.J. Rae, 20-year associate professor of chemistry, and Ph.D. in biochemistry and organics, Univ. of Toronto. "The fluoride ion exerts its toxic effect by inhibiting the action of many enzyme systems." Hugo Theorell, M.D., Nobel Prize winner for his research in the field of enzyme chemistry. "Contrary to what is widely assumed, the toxicity of fluoride is not always related to concentration. Under certain conditions fluoride toxicity actually increases as the concentration decreases. This is what is known as a paradoxical effect." Albert Schatz, Ph.D., M.C.R.S., Professor at the Univ. of Chile and co-discoverer of streptomycin. "The debate should not be the merits of fluoridation of the water supply, which is a public health problem, but rather the ethical aspects of universal fluoridation which creates an untenable situation for those individuals who are intolerant to fluorides. Do we have the moral right to create a situation from which the intolerant individual has no escape? The answer thus becomes very simple. Each individual should be granted the option to choose fluoride prophylaxis depending upon his need and tolerance. You have my permission to state my position and quote me as against universal fluoridation of the water supply." Ben F. Feingold, M.D., Chief Emeritus, Department of Allergy, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco Calif. (Dr. Feingold headed an organization which cares for hyperactive children, which has found, incidentally, that fluoride causes a severe adverse reaction upon the nervous system of hyperactive children. Coincidentally, so-called "Attention-Deficit-Disorder" or "A.D.D." is a common misdiagnosis for hyperactive or overly-enthusiastic children, and for which RITALIN is commonly prescribed. Thus, when a hyperactive child has an adverse reaction to FLUORIDE, he's commonly put on destructive RITALIN or fluoridated PROZAC as a "cure.") "It is of doubtful legality; it offends deep convictions concerning doctoring without consent; it is against the medical tradition of care for the individual; against the function of a public water supply; against sane economics; against the considered opinion of eminent nutritionists, biochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, allergists, toxicologists; above all, it is against natural caution and common sense." Dr. C. G. Dobbs, Prof. of Microbiology, Univ. of North Wales, Associate Royal College of Science, formerly at King's College, Univ. of London. THE TEXAS TOWN WITHOUT CAVITIES An often-quoted study favoring fluoridation was done in the 1930's in Hereford, Texas, once billed as "The Town Without Cavities", but there are flaws: 1. Hereford has a high level of naturally-occurring calcium fluoride in the water, not sodium fluoride. 2. According to a letter from Dr. George Heard, the dentist in Hereford, TX who initially promoted Hereford's lack of dental cavities to the dental profession, even the naturally-occurring calcium fluoride in the water supply in Hereford was damaging to people's teeth. After many years of dental practice and observation of dental patients in Hereford, he concluded that fluoride was not beneficial. Here is a 1954 letter from Dr. Heard: "Hereford, Texas has been called the TOWN WITHOUT A TOOTH ACHE. This is not true. But the phrase has been used effectively by the people interested in marketing SODIUM FLUORIDE all over the country. ...I believe that fluorine does in a mild way, retard cavities, but I also believe that the damage it does is far greater than any good it may appear to accomplish. It even makes the teeth so brittle and crumbly they can be treated only with difficulty, if at all. The dental investigators who came to our county some fifteen years ago did, in my opinion, make a serious mistake when they gave fluorine the credit for our good teeth, and overlooked the quality of food grown in our rich, well mineralized soil. Every person I found who had no dental caries, consumed much milk. Why use a poison, when correct food will maintain our bodies free from diseases and tooth decay? It is hellish and non-American to put poison in city water supplies and force citizens to drink it." George W. Heard, DDS, 15 March 1954. PROBLEM: HOW TO GET RID OF A TOXIC HAZARDOUS WASTE? In 1938, Dr. Gerald Cox, a research fellow of the Mellon Institute, picked up the fluoride ball and began publicly promoting the addition of sodium fluoride to public water systems, claiming that it would reduce tooth decay. The Mellons owned Alcoa, the Aluminum Company of America, who stockpiled quantities of sodium fluoride as a hazardous waste. Two major obstacles to Mr. Cox's promotional campaign were the AMA and the ADA, whose initial position was that fluoride was strictly a poison and that it shouldn't be introduced into the public water supply as a mass-medication. (Reference: AMA Journal, 9/18/43 and ADA Journal, 10/1/44) Despite the initial warnings from the AMA and ADA, Dr. Cox enlisted the help of a Wisconsin dentist, Dr. J.J. Fritsch, to promote fluoridation of drinking water, and in early 1945 Grand Rapids, Michigan was the first to fall for their story and fluoridate its water supply. In his crusade Dr. Fritsch enlisted the support of P.R. man, Dr. Frank Bull, the Wisconsin State Dental Health Officer, who organized political campaigns in order to persuade local officials to approve fluoridation. They applied constant lobbying pressure on both the ADA and the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS). Dr. Fritsch was reportedly a "non-stop fanatic" on fluoridation. (Fluoridation the Great Dilemma, Waldbott, p.258) In 1945 both Grand Rapids, Michigan and Newburgh, New York were artificially fluoridated with sodium fluoride in their drinking water supply as an experimental procedure to see if fluoride actually would improve dental health. According to testimony of a 1952 Congressional Hearing on Fluoride, the officials in charge of this "experiment" admitted that they hadn't really had prior knowledge of artificial fluoridation with sodium fluoride (versus naturally-occurring calcium fluoride), if it would actually work, nor what side effects it would cause, because the standard scientific laboratory method of first fully testing with animals had been ignored and bypassed in this case of sodium fluoride. (82nd Congress, 2nd Session, Report #2500 - 1952 - House Select Committee) The researchers' only prior knowledge was admittedly based upon observations that in areas containing natural calcium fluoride (fluor-spar) in the water, such as in parts of Texas and Colorado, tooth decay appeared to be less prevalent. (No allowance was made for excellent nutrition in these opinions.) There were no prior studies made with the highly toxic sodium fluoride, which was actually what they used for fluoridation. Note that an "optimum" level of 1 PPM of natural calcium fluoride in water was what they studied in Texas and Colorado, yet they then dosed our drinking water with 1ppm of the 20-times more toxic hazardous-waste sodium fluoride, openly claiming that equal concentrations of each had exactly the same effect on human health. Thus even their starting premise was apples-versus-oranges. The 1 PPM value was just picked at random because there were no tests or studies showing exactly what was the "optimum" and because people only supposedly drank one liter of water per day, and 1 milligram was a "proper" daily dose for normal people with normal kidney function. (It turns out that our actual average daily intake of fluoride is 2 mg, however.) During the 1952 Delaney Committee Congressional Hearings, scientists expressed concern that the dosage was much too high, especially for children or people with diabetes or kidney disease. Speculation was that before risking millions of lives in Grand Rapids and Newburgh, artificial fluoridation with sodium fluoride was first secretly tested on the population of U.S. prisons and/or military bases, to see if 1 PPM would actually kill or injure anyone. (A Freedom of Information Act research project?) The Grand Rapids/Newburgh experimental study was originally set up with the intention to last for a full 10 years, after which a proper scientific evaluation of the collected data would have enabled a proper, safe decision to be made regarding fluoridation of the rest of America's drinking water. However, the U.S. Public Health Service suddenly changed their minds. In 1950, after only 5 years, it was discovered that while the cavity rates had indeed gone down in Grand Rapids, cavity rates had also gone down at a comparable rate in Muskegon, its control city, supposedly because people were becoming more hygiene-conscious. Muskegon was then promptly fluoridated to cover up the discrepancy, and the Grand Rapids fluoridation project was advertised as an unqualified success. (Fluoride the Aging Factor, P.104) WHY WAS THE FLUORIDATION OF NEW TOWNS KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC? Article from the Royal Oak Tribune, 1/21/59: "FLUORIDATION IS TOP SECRET Lansing (AP) -- Seven more Michigan communities started fluoridating their water last year, the state health department reported today. But the names of the communities are "top secret" as far as the department is concerned. 'We made a policy of not giving out the names of those adding fluoride, a couple of years ago,' said Dr. Fred Wertheimer, director of the dentistry section. 'Local officials asked us not to make the announcements from here. Communities are so split on fluoridation that they said they would be barraged with letters and telephone calls from anti-fluoride people.'" MORE VALUABLE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE WAS IGNORED June 1965: Quote from Alfred Taylor, Ph.D, in a scientific letter appearing in the Oct. 2, 1965 issue of Saturday Review: " ... My contact with fluoridation came about as a result of cancer research. In one project, various chemicals were added to the drinking water of mice susceptible to cancer in order to check the responsibility that some chemicals might delay the onset of the disease or prevent it altogether. Among the chemicals used in this research was sodium fluoride. In the first two preliminary tests, the results obtained indicated that mice drinking fluoridated water tended to develop cancer at an earlier age as compared with control animals maintained on fluoride-free water. These earlier tests were followed by further investigations so that altogether, twelve experiments involving 645 mice were used in this research. "The data indicated that drinking water with as little as 1 PPM shortened the life span of mice an average of nine per cent. This was true whether death was due to cancer or non-cancerous diseases. The only notice proponents of fluoridation gave to this work was to discredit it as much as possible. ... In experiments where the drug was added directly to suspensions of cancer tissue before inoculation into eggs or mice, sodium fluoride stimulated the growth of cancer tissue in concentrations of one part in more than 20 million. Scientists at Cambridge University (British Medical Journal, Oct 26, 1963) discovered that concentrations of sodium fluoride as low as one part in ten million inhibited the growth of a culture of human tissue. ... the growing weight of scientific evidence that water-borne fluorides, even at 1 ppm, have toxic possibilities must finally be recognized." ALFRED TAYLOR, Ph.D., Clayton Foundation, Biochemical Institute, University of Texas, Austin Texas, 1965. Some years later Dr. Taylor stated, "The terrifying conclusion of the studies was that fluorine greatly induced a cancer tumor growth. If doctors and the public can be made aware of this catastrophe, fluoridation shall end quickly. It will someday be recognized as the most lethal and stupid "Health Program" ever conceived by the mind of man, witch doctors and blood-letters not excepted." --[cont]-- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
