alone
my name is darlene cheryl
and i've been involved with reading
writing
and talking about fluoride
for more than thirty years
this is a message about new sources of fluoride in both food and beverages
it's about what floor i can do to rule on a young child's permanent e
before you even see them
and what he can do to cripple both children and adults
with a condition usually misdiagnosed as arthritis
in the summer of nineteen seventy six
i thought fluoride was good for dental health
and absolutely safe
that i met a woman who said it was pleasant
i knew she had to be wrong
i had given my older daughter fluoride supplements years earlier
before it was added to our tap water
why don't they put poison and vitamins for toddlers
but a few weeks later when i finally took the time to check
it was like being transported to wonderland with alice and the white
rabbit
the history of man's usa fluoride for dental health is so bizarre
so complicated
so far reaching and so important it has kept my attention to this day
because the story isn't over
in fact it changed my life
because i learned it by avoiding fluoride as much as possible
my allergies
asthma arthritis
and gastrointestinal problems would go away
and stay away as long as i was very careful with my diet
and use nothing but distilled water for drinking and cooking
from childhood i'd had frequent and long-lasting aching bones and severe
muscle cramps in my legs
and stiff and swollen joints in my hands
at first doctor said it was rheumatism
but maybe they call it rheumatoid arthritis
however
within a year of changing my diet
ten years before even considering fluoride
all of that was gone
i have been pain-free since nineteen sixty seven
except for those rare occasions
when i've been careless and eaten too much of something i wasn't sure about
within hours i get the message and stop eating whatever it was
most of the time everything is back to normal within a day at you
but it can also take months
it happened to me in nineteen ninety-five from air pollution in
trinidad
anyway
this stuff is definitely poison
apparently i'm one of the small percentage of people who are unusually
sensitive to fly
i know several people who had been diagnosed with systemic fluoride
poisoning
and they share many of my symptoms
most of us have gone through a double-blind test with or dated and non
chlorinated water
to rule out other causes
no one really knows how many people have been poisoned
because there haven't been any studies capable of detecting them until the
advanced stage of crippling skeletal florals
arthritis and other health problems caused by fluoride don't count
when it comes to water and pesticide regulations
only the final stage described as
crippling deformities of the spying and major joints
with neurological deficits due to compression of the spinal cord
it's a lot like saying cancer is okay
as long as you're not dead
in nineteen seventy seven
the u_s_ national academy of sciences
n_a_s_ n_r_c_
published a book called drinking water in half
unit they express concern
that they've been current daily intake estimates were as high as four to five
milligrams
and if these estimates are accurate
people might be retaining as much as two milligrams a fluoride daily
which for the typical individual
is enough to cause face three crippling skeletal for us is after forty years
before that time everyone thought people were still getting the same dosage they
got during the nineteen forties
one and a half milligrams per day in areas where there was one milligram
applied in each leader of water
at that time they didn't have fluoride toothpaste for other dental products
and sources of flight other than drinking water provided only about one
quarter milligram per day
for that reason doctors
dentist and research scientist
made assumptions based on the concentration of fluoride in a water
supply
not the actual quantity applied ingested by the people
then in nineteen ninety seven
the institute of medicine
i a m
which is also part of n_a_s_ n_r_c_
told this week always been getting four milligrams per day in areas with one
part per million flight in the water supply
even though they cited the same reference that reported it as one point
five milligrams per day and nineteen forty three
it's only reference they cite that was published prior to nineteen seventy nine
get the numbers are completely different
what's changed
is that in nineteen eighty nine iowans recommended dietary allowances set one
point five milligrams per day was optimum
but warned against exceeding four milligrams per day in order to avoid the
development of crippling skeletal for us is
then just a few years later
they'll raise the recommended intake from one and a half to four milligrams
and grace that tolerable intake
from four to ten milligrams
with no new research other than one man who mentioned another man
who had used some high fluoride water from the age twenty two two h thirty
without developing crippling skeletal paralysis
the one i was high and magnesium and sulfate
so it wasn't used much for drinking and cooking
bulletin huh
that's the proof that water fluoridation as well as current pesticide residue
talents is
that's modern science for you
the same doses crippling one day and safe the next
depending on the economic and political climate
surrounding the poison itself
however
what you need to know is that e_p_a_
the u_s_ environmental protection agency
recently approved a new pesticide with tolerances for fluoride residues on some
basic items
higher than one hundred milligrams per kilo
sulfurophane why does it feel again used to kill insects and food warehouses and
processing plants
tolerances for pesticide residues have been approved by eighty eight and they
applied to virtually all agricultural products
that means that if you purchase foods or beverages made with ingredients that
were fumigate it without zero five
and that includes just about every item you can name
what was once relatively safe to eat it's now highly questionable
here's what happened
they were phasing out the use of methyl bromide
because of concerns about the ozone layer
and one of the agribusiness giants escort n_b_c_ permission to use their
product
on virtually everything
cpas pesticide division set resident tolerances
for various foods and food groups
which they consider safe
as long as we can result
the total daily intake of florence for humans
doesn't exceed a maximum of eight milligrams
what matters
is that thanks to repudiate
people who were once exposed to a maximum of about two milligrams of
client daily
can now look forward to ingesting as much as eight milligrams someday
it could be worse
about ten years ago the manchester guardian ran a story with photos of two
children
were badly crippled because they drank water from a relatively new borehole
doug trudy in an area of india
known for rich mineral deposits
the water had only eleven parts per million a fly
but almost all the children are not needed
and have the browns stained teeth characteristic of the first stage is the
fluoride placing
in china the problem comes from air pollution
because of rapid industrial development
and that translates to polluted water and food as well
even without considering artificial fertilizers and pesticides
millions of children have already been badly crippled because of time
t has always been a significant source of fluoride
because of the nature of the plant itself
but recent analysis of green and black tea from china and india revealed it can
now deliver
six or more milligrams perk up
meats and fish don't contain much fluoride
but their balance due
and if cooked in the liquid the fluoride stored in those bones will contaminate
the brock
if you use corned beef and i can
hotdogs
salami
processed luncheon meats
hamburger
sausage
or any ground meats that was separated from the bone by machine rather than by
hand
there will be tiny little chips above too small to see
and because of that
the concentration of fluoride and these processed meats
can be as high as thirty five milligrams per kilo
if you use of uh... toothpaste you will probably absorb about one-third of a
milligram per use
providing your rent swelling spit it all out after brushing
when infants and young children get too much fun
any more than about one half to one milligram printing
their permanent teeth can be so badly disfigured and damaged
you'll need a lifetime of expensive cosmetic dentistry
with just a little too much
instead of translucent
pearly quite a mammal on their two front teeth
they have extra quite lines along the biting edge
or an overall unnaturally porous waiting ammo that picks up stains easily
fluoride is one of the most abundant elements and the earths crust
so any time we have to take something out of the ground to manufacture
something else
there will be fluoride involved in one way or the other
and that's the route of the problem
after all
what doesn't come out of the ground
it's where we get the materials for everything we use on a daily basis
and massive amounts of fluoride wastes liberated during the manufacturing
process
must be disposed of somehow
this isn't about science
it's about politics and national security issues
reid is known as the protected pollutant
its reputation as a safe cavity fighter
was created out of thin air
by the u_s_ government during a time when scientists were working furiously
to make the first atomic bomb
we were at war
u_s_ policy makers had good reason
to deny the adverse affects the flooring air pollution at the time
it was a matter of life and death
but that's not true today
today
it's just a matter of profit and loss
recently declassified documents from the manhattan project
speak for themselves
this is in the conspiracy theory
it's part of recorded history
cereals
for jews
and cosmetic defects
wherever you live
chances are that most of the flow right in your diet comes from pesticides
fertilizers
air pollution
and prescription drugs
young children who used to paste without supervision or consumed ready to eat
breakfast cereals
and fruit juices
are especially at risk
sixty years ago only about ten percent of children who used one part per
million fluorinated water developed a very malice forms potential for ocis
not visible accepted a trained eye a bit antics
today malden to further assist is considered the norm in the united states
and for many years
dentists have been making more money fixing the damage caused by too much
fluoride
and i fix in the damage caused by thirty k
at the same time u_s_ government has decreed that no matter how badly stained
in painted your child's teeth are
it's not really an adverse health effect
it's only a cosmetic effect occurs when infants and young children ingest more
than one milligram of fluoride daily
the problem is
until the permanent teeth begin to come and there's no way to know what's going
on with the developing dental enamel
and no practical way to know how much florida town is getting each day
from the things they didn't drink
the nineteen ninety-one results at the united kingdom total diet study showed
that she was the major source of dietary fluoride for adults in that country
one point three milligrams of the total daily intake at one point eight
milligrams
more recently analysis of ordinary black or green tea
shows you can now get six milligrams perk up
welcome to wonderland
i'd like you to be allison the rabbit
once upon a time the safety of water fluoridation was based on the assumption
that people would get about one to one and a half milligrams of fluoride daily
from also just come by
they told us not to exceed four milligrams per day
or we might eventually reach the crippling stage of skeletal four oh six
but now i think we can get six milligrams of five per cup of tea
and almost eight milligrams from pesticide residues safety is still
guaranteed
not based on a new or even own safety studies
but simply because on costs and said so
unlike most chemical compounds that pollute our food and water supply
fluoride is ubiquitous
it's increasing presence can virtually everything we eat and drink is protected
by an outdated policy
blind over sixty years ago in order to minimize environmental and health
concerns
perceived by uncle sam
to be petty
costly
and potentially crippling to the nation itself
fluoride rich classic rock
is used to some extent in the production of phosphates used in the manufacture
baking powders
and it's also the source of calcium fortified spirits
used in the jugs and then a supplements
unfortunately you won't see the word for item the label
by law they cannot gadfly
but if it's already hidden in other ingredients
no one has to tell
no one is required to tell you how many times the corn
rice owns workweek in your diet
was fumigate it with self you know fluoride
before leaving the warehouse for packaging or processing
no one is required to tell you the hamburger hotdogs salami corned beef and
other processed meats that you'd like to go st
are usually high inside because the need itself was separated from the bone by
machine rather than by hand
no one is required to tell you not to give a young child welch is grape juice
even though it usually contains a huge amount of fluoride
and took us several adverse health effects
including disfiguring damaged to developing dental in him
no doctors going to warn you that your auntie daddy
or other prescription drug has enough fluoride intent to cause five rely on
jim
most health care professionals didn't hear about it in school
so they never gave it a thought
why didn't they hear about it in school
as usual
it's the money honey
industry and the air we breathe
fluoride
and our perceptions of its safety and effectiveness in preventing tooth decay
is tied up with political economic
and national security issues
corporations cannot afford to protect workers exposed to fluoride on a daily
basis
governments cannot afford to admit knowing
but they knew from the start
it's all very complicated
but nothing new
from this point forward
most of what you hear it would have been quoted directly from books articles
and reviews written by persons other than myself
including members of the national academy of sciences the entity that
interprets science for the u_s_ government regulatory agencies
unicef
united nations
children's emergency fund
e_t_a_ insiders
and numerous other reliable sources
you may have heard of hydrogen fluoride
it's a common particularly dangerous that relatively unknown air pollutant
produced by the most powerful industries including
steel mills iron foundries copper zinc and aluminum smelters plastics
manufacturers
fertilizer works
agro chemical factories
petrochemical refineries
brick works glass factories coal-burning power stations
and nuclear processing plant
the use of un leaded gasoline puts more fluoride into the air the late tactic
geoffrey smith said it will
if health authorities would he said air pollution standards for hydrogen
fluoride
which were harmless
then certain key industries in a technologically oriented society with
almost crying to a halt
this dilemma led to the most bizarre conspiracy of modern times in which
captains of industry and national security agencies combined
to ruthlessly suppressed evidence of the dangers of hydrogen fluoride air
pollution
and cynically used to healing profession dentistry to promote and apparently
beneficial image for fluoride
the result is that we live in an increasingly fluorinated world
the fluoride and water and toothpaste is potentially harmful
the hydrogen fluoride in contaminated air
far more so
each year tens of thousands of tons of hydrogen fluoride
create an environmental hazard
more threatening than global warming or depletion of the ozone layer
and hydrogen fluoride
which can be one thousand times more harmful than sulfur dioxide
is often achieved but really mention component of acid rain
few people living in the developed countries of the world can escape
exposure to a chance
workers and more than sixty occupations arnelle breathing h f contaminated air
and anyone living in the vicinity of the five polluting industries is also at
risk
in nineteen thirty three doctor lawyer did senior toxicologist with the
department of agriculture
and lecture and found the college at stanford
published two sixty page me if you want chronic flooring poisoning
he wrote
only recently that is within the last ten years
has the series nature of flooring toxicity been realized
particularly with regard to chronic intoxication
it is from the viewpoint of chronic intoxication that flooring is of
importance to the public health
i've reviewed the literature shows
that the public health aspect of flooring is manifested in industrial
hygiene
in agriculture
and in foods
the latter aspect of the problem
is particularly important
because of the recommendation an increasing utilization of foreign
compounds in agriculture
well there is no real scientific evidence for beneficial effects of any
kind
we do know that fluoride is more acutely toxic then lead
and almost as bad as actually
the late doctor frederick p x zero
there has been flooring poisoning as long as they have been plans
animals and people
on recognized as such of course
and mostly associated with volcanic phenomena or fluorine very modest
came the industrial revolution
and things were different
there came a wholesale pollution of aaron countryside with flooring fumes
and follow-up
and flooring poisoning became an important industrial hazard
there were many sources
including glass break enamel in ceramic tile
but the worst offenders with the iron in copper smelters

to the majority of people bombarded with television commercials for fluoride
dental products fluoride means the dental health
and that's all
very few people are aware of its use in pesticides
drugs
common cleaning agents
and other everyday household products

that the deadly nerve gas sarin
owes its toxicity to flooring

in short
fluoride is a poison

the horror in this story is that fluoride was known as the deadly poison

and later people all over the world
there is compelling evidence that the program of water fluoridation began as a

in more severely for a steep the animal is pitted and discolored and is prone to

generally fluoride impairs the brains ability to perform signaling functions
with the consequence of that messages that are passed among the many pathways
are likely to be incomplete or wrong
one-way flight interferes is by disrupting the creation of breakdown of
mira filaments and the excellence of neurons
fluoride also interferes with both primary and secondary signaling in the
nervous system
fluoride may also increase the number of plaques and tangles in the brains of
adults
which could contribute to dimension

fluoride in drinking water

fluoride and water
an overview
in many countries for at least purposely added to the water supply toothpaste and
sometimes other products
to promote dental health
it should be noted that fluoride is also found in some food stamps
and in the year
mostly from production of phosphate fertilizers or the burning of foreign
containing fuels
so that the amount of five people actually ingest maybe higher than
assumed
it has long been known that excessive alright intake carries serious toxic
effects
but scientists are now debating
whether fluoride confers any benefit at all
fluoride was first used to fight dental cavities in the nineteen forties
its effectiveness defended onto grounds
fluoride inhibits enzymes that breed acid producing oral bacteria
necessity to wait till tomorrow
this observation is valid
but some scientists now believe that the harmful impact of fluoride and other
useful enzymes far outweighs the beneficial effect on carries prevention
fluoride ions find with calcium ions strengthening tooth enamel as it finds
in children
many researchers now consider this more of an assumption in fact
because of conflicting evidence from studies in india and several other
countries over the past ten to fifteen years
nevertheless agreement is universal that excessive fluoride intake leads to lots
of calcium from the truth matrix
aggravating cavity formation throughout life rather than anything yet
and so causing gent author of sex
severe chronic in punitive overexposure

talking quite cheap
is a clear indication of overexposure to fluoride during childhood

these effects i'm not a parrot if the cheaper already fully grown prior to the
fluoride overexposure
therefore the fact that in an adult
may show no signs of dental four ounces
does not necessarily mean that his or her fluoride intake is within the safe
haven
how water fluoridation got started
according to gary know
now do you remember ed mccabe blacks claims that florals his victims model
discolored teeth were especially resistant to decay
he came up with the notion that fluoride added to the water supply
at the magic thresholds are such a one part per million
would prevent tooth decay
while avoiding damage to bones and teeth
you recommended further studies to determine whether his hypothesis was
true
back at the mellon institute alkyl as pittsburgh industrial research lab this
news with galvanic
their biochemist jail jay *** immediately for dated some lab rats in
the study and concluded that far i've reduced cavities and death
the case should be regarded as proof
in a historic moment in nineteen thirty nine the first public proposal that the
u_s_ should flow rate its water supply
was made not by a doctor or dentist
but backpacks
and industry scientist working for a company threatened by fluoride damage
claims and burdened by the audience expense of disposing of tons of toxic
industrial waste
pack speak entering the country stumping for fluoridation
gene would go on to carve out a nice career for himself as the father of

he became the first dental scientist at the national institute of health

article by lucy johnson
help edit it
it contained the following
doctor peter mansfield pgp and director of the good health keeping service at
lower lincolnshire
studied more than one hundred children with behavioral problems
he discovered those with high levels of fluoride in their bodies
were more likely to have developmental and behavioral problems once the
fluoride was taken out of their diet they get better
this is very worrying
fluoride is toxic and could cause mental problems
it could be that thousands of children are underperforming as a result
we had children we thought were affected by flag
in some cases they were hyperactive
lacked concentration and where unhappy all the time
we tested them and quite clearly demonstrated that fluoride was causing
the problems
the trouble if i did it what is causing far outweighs the possible benefits to
children ski
nothing like enough work has been done on this and no one is checking it's very
worrying
his findings are borne out by a unicef back study of seven hundred and sixty
nine schoolchildren in china
it found those with mental retardation are low i_q_ levels had access to arrive
in their systems
the study concluded that the chemical mix mental health problems worse
by interfering with the central nervous system
another study carried out in america
found that rats behave like hyperactive children when given a comparable amount
of time

economic motives behind fluoridation
late doctor frederick p exner wrote
it is now clear that the one other labor level is force behind fluoridation is
american big industry
and at the motive is not profit as such
that fear
in nineteen forty two with the second world war
there was an enormous increase in flooring pollution steel production
expanded an aluminum which had been used for pat's pants and a few airplanes
was needed for an air fleet
moreover these industries invaded parts of the country that we're not used to
flooring polluted air
for example the steel plants in california and utah
and aluminum factors in washington and oregon
crops and livestock stafford
and people didn't like it
even the deer in the hills around provo utah had model t_
meanwhile send millions in damage suits were filed and many hundreds of
thousands paid in settlements court judgments
one suit for damage to the members of the paul martin family is the only
successful sleuth against arguments by flooring pollution in the united states

a few years later children started to show model t_
whereupon the council clinton fluoridation without a vote
neither modelling can be blamed on the water rather than the aluminum plant
chemical engineering news special report on fluoridation nineteen eighty eight

osteoporosis may occur in the long bones

bony spurs may also appear on the limb bones especially around the knee they'll

in advanced a little for us just called crippling skeletal for us is
the extremities become week and moving the joint is difficult
the vertebra partially fused together crippling the patient
the situation is complicated because they missed a skeletal for us as depends
on more than the level of fluoride in the water
it also depends on nutritional status intake of vitamin d and protein
absolute amount of calcium
and ratio of calcium to magnesium and drinking wine and other factors
although skillet so for us is has been studied intensely and other countries
for more than forty years
virtually no research has been done in the united states to determine how many
people are afflicted with the earlier stages of the disease
particularly the preclinical stages

on occasion a manager has his or her own idea of what that state level should be
or the manager gets orders from up the line
perhaps even the white house our capitol hill
that the safe level is some particular value
this is not hypothetical
this has happened and continues to happen
the manager then comes to a staff scientist and says
this is the state level that we are going to propose in the federal register
right near justification for it
what is sometimes elaborately stated sometimes not is
and i don't care what the literature says
my bosses have given me instructions on this and if you want to stay on my good

you will craft from the and elegant justification for this safe level
fluoride the aging factor by doctor john yami honest
in this book the late john yami honest p_h_d_ explains the nuts-and-bolts
involved with fluoride poisoning
through the eyes of a biochemist
he also writes about the special interests and people behind the
promotion of water fluoridation
who they are
how they operate
and five a scratch each of these back
john i worked together on a major court case in pittsburgh in nineteen seventy
eight and for several months my daughter julie and i live with the on the honest
family at the farm in delaware ohio
julie by the way it was poisoned by flight as an infant
and experienced the spontaneous fracture of her ankle is a child
the x_-rays were identical to those published in case reports of skeletal
thorough since
later as a teenager she lost her thyroid gland to cancer
also because of uh... right
i myself lived with arthritis allergies and gastrointestinal problems from age
seven
almost died in an if elected shock at age eighteen
and had symptoms suggesting a series of small strokes by age twenty five
after any j showed clear evidence of poisoning by some unknown chemical
i'd change my diet
within a year all of my health problems have disappeared the twisted joints in
my hands for a permanent reminders
but my arthritis was gone
and it's take on as long as i a belated fluoride as much as possible
then at age fifty four
i discovered the joys of fiber my alger caused by fluoride air pollution
for three months that payment was fixed cruciate ng
and relentless
justice clarity was thoroughly convinced that water fluoridation was increasing
the cancer death rates
but when he issued an injunction to stop it in pennsylvania
he discovered the courts don't have jurisdiction
because water fluoridation
is considered a legitimate police power of the state
at about the same time michigan became the first state to repeal it's mandatory
water fluoridation law
giving citizens the right to vote rather than for singing on them
this came about after persuaded governor milliken staff there was evidence that
although the concentration of flat in the water supply hadn't changed the
concentration in food had increased dramatically
two committees were appointed to look into the matter
and then the second stacks acceptance control commission got involved and
issued a warning
at one point the director of the michigan department of public health
gave radio and newspaper interviews supporting my point of view about
runaway dosage
way back then
then he quit his job and took another at the department
the story made headlines in several newspapers
and my husband stop telling me couldn't fight city hall
i was lucky
the legislature was revising their health code
all they had to do was leave out the part about mandatory water fluoridation
the michigan demos assistant
the american dental association and numerous other individuals and groups
did their best
but it wasn't enough
the people with the sound
in august nineteen eighty three the big guns got together for a symposium at the
university of michigan
according to doctor yami honest
the stated purpose of the meeting was to discussed the status of organized
opposition to fluoridation
to analyze probable motives influencing yet a fluoridation movement
to assess the need for a national fluoridation strategy
to develop political and legal strategist for the defense and promotion
of fluoridation
and to evaluate past legal and political pro fluoridation initiatives
focusing on the defeat
as well as the victories
john also writes about steven garrett a crack watched dot com who sued me for
one hundred thousand u_s_ dollars a few years ago and lost
i had challenged him to name just one fluoridation safety study capable of
finding what it was supposed to be looking for it
and then published the fact that he couldn't name one
although he claims there were hundreds
conclusion
the controversy over fluoride isn't about science
it's about politics
it's all about controlling how we as consumers perceive the world around us
is that beautiful bright red apple really good for your child
for yourself
or does it have something hidden inside its not good at all
i think you have a right to know
but i'm not in the apple business
high also think it's time for the u_s_ government to admit they made a mistake
with all right
but i'm not in charge of national security or the economy even
well expanded my message
now you know why this chloride in your toothpaste
what flight can do if you get too much of it
where it's coming from
and especially why it's very important to be careful with fluoride toothpaste
amount watched
and as much as possible
avoid foods grown with artificial fertilizers and pesticides
if you need a prescription drugs
asked for one that doesn't contain fluoride in its chemical structure
and be wary of mineral supplements that don't show the fluoride content on the
label
if you live in an artificially fluorinated area each leader of water
will provide about one milligram of flora
one part per million
if you have your own well it could be as little as zero point two milligrams
or very rarely as much as eight milligrams per liter
but ordinary well water test don't involve fluoride
u_p_s_ drinking water division step and enforceable maximum concentration
uh... four parts per million for municipal drinking water supplies
but their pesticide divisions allows as much as one hundred and thirty
parts-per-million
almost sixty milligrams per pound himself euro fluoride pesticide residues
in or on our food
it is impossible to avoid chlorides altogether
and i'm not suggesting that everything you buy to grocery stories on fifty
but quite frankly a lot of it is with less than the container it comes in
one more thing
thanks for listening
