"While it is true that "organic" fluoride itself is present natutally in soil, water, plants and many foods,' the "industrial" fluotide used in water fluoridation is a toxic waste product.2 Does it work? Now that's a question of more than some debate. There's no question that since fluoridation began, the incidence of dental caries has gone down significantly in the United States. Score one for water fluoridation! But hold on a second. It's gone down throughout the country—even in states that don't fluoridate their water!" - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Exactly what is water fluoridation? In fact, all watet contains some fluoride. Fluoridation is the process of adjusting the level of fluotide in the water supply to theoretically protect against tooth decay. This concentration varies from 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million (ppm). While it is true that "organic" fluoride itself is present natutally in soil, water, plants and many foods,' the "industrial" fluotide used in water fluoridation is a toxic waste product.2 Does it work? Now that's a question of more than some debate." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Well, to be fair, community water fluoridation is supported by the U.S. Public Health Service/ the American Dental Association,' the American Medical Association,6 the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the National Academy of Sciences." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Many studies, however, have found that the contrary is true; when water fluoridation is discontinued, the incidence of dental caries actually decreases.8 Fluorides can also be found in Teflon pans, pesticides sprayed on fruit, and some beverages and food items. To minimize exposure, use only filtered drinking water, thoroughly wash fruit before eating, read labels, and avoid any products that contain fluoride. Pesticides According to the World Health Organization, more than 3 million people become ill and 220,000 die worldwide annually because of pesticides." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"It's probably no surprise then that the industries producing fluoride byproducts are some of the biggest proponents (and backers) of water fluoridation. 'In fact, as New Zealand's former chief dental-health officer, Jon Colquhon, a one-time proponent of fluotidation, said, "When any unfluoridated area is compared with a fluoridated area with a similar income level, the percentage of children who are free of dental decay is consistently higher in the unfluoridated area." 4While at the same time, curiously, pushing for a reduction in our daily fluoride intake. Maybe you can explain that to me." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"To make matters worse, the form of fluoride used in water fluoridation programs is an industrial waste product. More than 90 percent of the fluoridated U.S. municipal water supplies use hydrofluorosilicic acid or its sodium salt as a fluoridating agent. These chemicals are highly toxic by-products of phosphate fertilizer production. Their presence in our drinking water supplies is more about the corporate bottom line than about the claimed benefit of preventing tooth decay." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "The appalling aspect of this whole scenario is the adverse health affects that can result from fluoride exposure, even at the relatively low doses used in water fluoridation programs. These may include ?hyperactivity ?learning disabilities ?cancer ?hypothyroidism ?dental fluorosis (permanent discoloration of teeth) in children ?arthritis ?kidney disease ?gastrointestinal disorders ?birth defects ?lowered immunity Links to studies verifying the role of fluoride in these disorders and others may be found at http://www.slweb.org/bibliography." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"A pooled analysis of 29 studies on this issue concluded that there did not appear to be an increased risk of fracture in areas of water fluoridation.12 Dental fluorosis, a brown staining of teeth due to fluoride exposure during childhood, is the best-documented adverse effect of fluoride. At a water fluoride level of 1 part per million (or 1 mg per liter), roughly 13% will have fluorosis to an aesthetically concerning degree.13 Some scientists have concluded that water fluoridation is associated with an increased risk of bone tumors,14 although most others disagree.15 FOLIC ACID What is it?" - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"This was the revelation carried by the Washington Post and the Associated Press (July 13, 2005) that a Harvard thesis has shown a connection between water fluoridation and a 700% increase in osteosarcoma in young men if they are exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th to 8th years. Particularly disturbing is the information that the thesis adviser, Porfessor Cheser Douglass, who is also a consultant to Colgate, has covered up these results in talks to the public and in a report to his funding agency. Both the NIEHS and Harvard University are investigating his conduct." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Some scientists have concluded that water fluoridation is associated with an increased risk of bone tumors,14 although most others disagree.15 FOLIC ACID What is it? Folic acid is a B vitamin needed for cell replication and growth. Folic acid helps form building blocks of DNA, the body's genetic information, and building blocks of RNA, needed for protein synthesis in all cells. Therefore, rapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regenerating cells, like red blood cells and immune (page 255) cells, have a high need for folic acid." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D., N.D., The Natural Pharmacy: Complete A-Z Reference to Natural Treatments for Common Health Conditions (Get the book.) "While most experts believe water fluoridation to be associated with minimal risk,12 others disagree. A minority of scientists believes fluoridation to be associated with an unacceptable risk of skeletal damage, including osteoporotic fractures and bone tumors, in exchange for a modest dental benefit.13 Fluoride has topical action as well as whole-body effects,14 suggesting that those who do not have access to fluoridated water can achieve some benefit with fluoride-containing toothpastes and mouthwashes." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"Professor Foster concludes, "if the only significant gain from water fluoridation is reduced tooth decay in children, risks from fluoridation would seem to outweigh gains. However, if as suggested by the evidence presented in this article, because of its antagonism with both aluminum and calcium, moderate levels of drinking water fluoride are protective against Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis and calcification of the arterial system, then the reverse may be true. Obviously, the great fluoridation debate can be expected to continue in earnest." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Potential Results of Consuming Fluoridated Water • Bone and uterine cancer • Lowered IQ (especially in young children) • Birth defects • Perinatal death • Immune system suppression • Osteoarthritis • Skeletal Fluorosis (leading to brittle teeth and bones) • Gastrointestinal disorders • Essential enzyme inhibition • Acute poisoning The practice of water fluoridation has been rejected or banned in several countries including: China, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Japan." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Fortunately, 98 percent of Western Europe has rejected water fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Exhaustive research has shown that tumors in laboratory animals were found to be the direct result of fluoride ingestion. Other animal studies found that fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland and interferes with its production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate the onset of puberty, thyroid functions, and numerous other basic physiological processes." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"A Harvard thesis has shown a connection between water fluoridation and a 700% increase in osteosarcoma in young men if they are exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th to 8th years.' Dr. Paul Connett Prevailing medical response protocols for cancer patients today give only tacit attention to nutrition as a factor in treatment and prevention. This clearly puts the cancer cure advocacy industry and health officials in clear opposition to many distinguished research scientists." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Not dentists but rather aluminum industry scientists first proposed water fluoridation as a strategy for cavity control. In 1945, with fluoride emissions at an all-time high due to heightened wartime production, the federal government started its first water fluoridation experiment in Grand Rapids, Michigan, intended to be a fifteen-year study. With this pilot program barely under way, a full-on water fluoridation campaign emerged. Edward L." - Sandor Ellix Katz, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved (Get the book.)

"For the globalist seeking to control world population, water fluoridation could certainly offer an effective method of achieving an international reduction in births without having to announce an unpopular plan of enforced contraception. The world's population could be significantly reduced in the guise of preventing tooth decay in children, and the effect would increase with time as the contamination of foodstuffs and medications continued to grow." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "Bastiat's analysis describes perfectly the sinister history of water fluoridation, an economic event masquerading as a public health campaign that involved, and still involves, enormous amounts of money and powerful political influence—and uncountable tragic side effects. No one in any position of real power has ever dared to clash with these powerful forces. I can only hope this book will begin to change that. Fluoride Overflow: Accidents That Can Sicken and Kill Most of us never give a second thought to the safety issues of how fluoride is added to our drinking water." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "The obvious answer is that the people who have so much invested in fluoridation have kept it quiet out of fear that it would make all too clear to the public the real dangers presented by water fluoridation. In August 1993 residents of the little town of Popularville, Mississippi, became the unfortunate victims of a fluoride overspill. It came to light when patrons of a Pizza Inn suddenly began to get sick, complaining of stomach cramps, nausea, and burning in their mouths." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Page 4) " The main limitations of current research on the effectiveness of water fluoridation are its exclusion of adults and elderly and failure to consider quality of life outcomes. Since water fluoridation is a total population strategy, its benefits to the population as a whole need to be documented."(Page 62) In 1993 one of the most prestigious research institutions in the world, the American Academy of Sciences, recommended that research be done in those areas pertaining to fluoridation where gaps existed, i.e. from cancer to developmental problems." - Helke Ferrie, Dispatches From the War Zone of Environmental Health (Get the book.)

"Professor Hardy Limeback, a leading Canadian fluoride authority and previously a strong proponent of fluoridation, has been conducting studies on the effects of water fluoridation in Canada. He is also a Professor of Dentistry at the University of Toronto. One of his findings is that people growing up in fluoridated Toronto had bone fluoride levels twice as high as those living in unfluoridated Montreal. In 1977 the National Academy of Sciences admitted that fluoride intake in fluoridated communities was as high as 3 mg per day, rather than a previously low figure they had given of 1." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"They have called for a Congressional inquiry into water fluoridation in America. As panel member Dr. Hardy Limeback states: "In my opinion, the evidence that fluoridation is more harmful than beneficial is now overwhelming and policy makers who avoid thoroughly reviewing recent data before introducing new fluoridation schemes do so at risk of future litigation." The fluoride debacle is an example of what is wrong when government and industry are too intertwined." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Moreover, the toxic type of fluoride waste from industrial sources which is used in public water fluoridation and toothpaste (primarily sodium silicofluoride and flu-osilicic acid) has not been tested in any widespread way as to general safety or benefit for teeth, The fluoridation scam was so successful, it still thrives in the United States today in water supplies and dental products. You will be hard-pressed to find a brand of toothpaste at your local drug store that does not contain fluoride in it." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"Fluoride Action Network is an international coalition working to end water fluoridation and alert the public to fluoride's health and environmental risks. Contains reams of information about ways in which fluoride can damage health. Dr. Mercola www.mercola.com Dr. Mercola has a very interesting Web site which contains an excellent section on mercury toxicity in the "dental corner." Recommended Reading Beaumont, P. Pesticides, Policies and People: A Guide to the Issues. London: The Pesticides Trust, 1993.

"Fluoride used in water fluoridation was initially associated with the fluorides used to kill insects, mice and rats. These insecticides and rodenticides, however, used poisonous organic fluorides, not inorganic fluorides, which are significantly less toxic, and which are the forms used for water fluoridation. At one point, it was thought by a few that fluoridation of the U.S. water supply was a plot by the Russians to take over the country. That speculation was, of course, utter nonsense. Later on, a couple of researchers claimed that fluoridation of water causes cancer." - Sheldon Saul Hendler, The Doctor's Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia (Get the book.)

"Now, if the remaining 30,000 will follow along, the entire nation will have access to fluoride-free water. Did You Know? H Five percent of the worlds population still receives fluoridated water and over half of those people reside in North America! 205 r. X > With all this knowledge and current research demonstrating the harmful effects of fluoride, can you believe a company (DS Waters of America Inc.) would actually market bottled water for children containing this toxin? Nursery*, for infants, actually advertises on the label that it has "added fluoride"!" - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Jumping the Gun: The Beginning of a Cruel Hoax "Perhaps the greatest deterrent to meaningful political engagement of dentists in the promotion of water fluoridation is the mistaken hut widespread assumption that to do so they must have full and complete knowledge of the detailed and voluminous scientific literature on the relationship of water fluoridation to dental and general health. They do not. ...as soon as dentists recognise their responsibility in the politics of fluoridation, their performance will be outstanding. In politics, the emphasis is on propagandising rather than on education." - Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, Fluoride the Aging Factor: How to Recognize and Avoid the Devastating Effects of Fluoride (Get the book.)

"Fluoride Some evidence suggests that water fluoridation may be linked to some types of cancer, although this is controversial. A study published in 1996 reported on the relationship between fluoride concentration in drinking water and deaths from uterine cancer in Okinawa, Japan. Fluoride was added to the water supplies in the region in the period from 1945 to 1972. The results showed significant links between the time of water fluoridation and deaths from uterine cancer.74 Iodine Hypothyroidism and iodine deficiency are associated with a higher incidence of breast cancer." - Nicola Reavley, The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs (Get the book.)
