Water Fluoridation War | Government Admits Dangers, Experts Speak Out
It was only a few years ago that if you labeled fluoride as a dangerous substance, you would be laughed at and scorned. For years, a select minority of individuals were the only ones raising the awareness of this health concern. Their cries have been and continue to be met with dissonance, despite the fact that the public’s opinion on fluoride has changed much in just a short time. In fact, even the United States government has called for lower levels of water fluoridation following a study published in Environmental Health Perspectives, which found that increased fluoride consumption led to decreased IQ in children.
Communities are attempting to end water fluoridation, mainstream news is acknowledging its negative effects, and even a number of professional dentists have recognized the dangers of fluoride, and spoken out against its use and distribution. Most recently, the Palmer City Council of Alaska passed an ordinance repealing the town’s water fluoridation mandate.
Sodium Fluoride, the Voyage from Rat Poison to Toothpaste
Mainstream dentistry and oral health has been the vehicle through which sodium fluoride, a chemical byproduct of fluorine has been injected into our everyday lives. Said to ‘fight tooth decay’ and ‘strengthen enamel,’ it has been proliferated into nearly every form of toothpaste. Dentists also apply fluoride topically to teeth during routine visits to produce said effects. It has been added to municipal water supplies since the early 1900s, under the same premise of aiding oral health and hygiene.
Despite this, fluoride has a notoriously negative track record in terms of how it is used, and the products that use it as an active ingredient. While being used in toothpaste and various mouth washes, fluoride is also the main ingredient in many rat poisons, Prozac (an anti-depressant found to actually lead to suicide and other health conditions), and is even labeled as a toxic substance.
In fact, the safety precautions regarding sodium fluoride are quite telling themselves:
-
“Sodium Fluoride can affect you when inhaled.
-
Sodium Fluoride may damage the developing fetus.
-
Contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes with possible eye damage.
-
Inhaling Sodium Fluoride can irritate the nose, throat, and lungs.
-
Exposure to Sodium Fluoride can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite.
-
Repeated exposure can cause weakness and muscle twitching, tremors, convulsions, coma and even death.
-
Sodium Fluoride may affect the kidneys.
-
Very high exposure to Sodium Fluoride can cause the deposit of Fluoride in the bones and teeth, a condition called Fluorosis. This may cause pain, disability and mottling of the teeth.”
Of course it is important to note that there is a difference between topical fluoride exposure and internal consumption. With topical fluoride exposure, the amount of actual internal exposure can be minimal.
What’s more, the government does claim that the potential negative effects of fluoride are not relevant when discussing the amount of fluoride found in drinking water.
However, many forms of fluoride exposure are through the internal digestion of the substance that has been linked to reduced IQ in major studies. Fluoride tablets have been distributed to children in public schools, leading to the complete digestion of the substance, as opposed to topical use.
For quite some time there have been a host of individuals speaking out against water fluoridation and its inclusion in foods, oral hygiene products, and as psychotropic drugs. Many foreign countries have banned its inclusion in municipal water supplies, and many U.S. states are progressively moving towards the same, as research continues to come out on the subject.
More recently, many practicing dentists have admitted that water fluoridation is a health risk, and should be stopped. This demonstrates a profound nature of humility that most doctors and large drug companies have yet to realize. If the mainstream medical establishment could own up to its shortcomings and work towards changing them, there would be nothing to fear. Sadly in pursuit of profit, they go to great lengths to maintain the guise of authenticity, while slowly shearing the individual of their health and wealth.
Pretty bad when even the GOVERNMENT is calling for lower fluoride levels following the decreased IQ study.
"S1/2 – Keep locked up and out of reach of children."
Yet it's in 99% of toothpaste.

Push for your local district to BAN water fluoridation. It can improve the health of your entire community. Then it can also help go state-wide.
This madness must come to an end!
Flouridation of the water supply has been going on for almost 100 years when Edward Barnays, the father of PR first pushed for it. Barnays was a nephew of Frued and wrote a book called propoganda which many dictators have learned from. Barnays wasn’t irish….
Today, people need to write, call, email and/or visit their local and state representatives. Tell them to stop adding unnecessary, health-robbing, money-wasting fluoride chemicals into your body via the water supply.
Cities where residents did this have stopped fluoridation including the following in 2011 alone:
In the US: Marcellus and Mt.Clemens, MI; Fairbanks and Palmer, Alaska; Spring Hill, Lawrenceburg & Hohenwald, TN; Philomath, OR; Pottstown, PA; College Station, TX; Spencer, Indiana; Naples, NY, Pinellas County and Tarpon, FL; Amesbury, MA. In Canada: Lake Shore, Ontario; Calgary, Slave Lake and Taber Alberta; Flin Flon, Manitoba. In New Zealand: New Plymouth and Taumarunui.
Many cities are considering stopping fluoridation including New York City

Use "Toms of Maine" toothpaste it is fluoride free.
They make fluoride toothpaste too so read the label.
yeah but they use flouride derived from organic food based products and not an alluminuin by probuct
Most of the toothpaste offered from Tom's of Main is not fluoride free. "Tom's Children's silly strawberry FLUORIDE toothpaste" taste like candy.
Fluoridation is good fromviewpoint of overpopulation counts being dangerous
Through researching neurological development, I came across a very little known fact; we all know that fluoride reduces thyroid function and thus IQ, and causes Alzheimer's disease type holes in the brain, but did you also know that fluoride stops the production in the brain of the brain cell and neuron growth stimulant, phosphatidyl serine, along with other necessary growth precursors. The brain should normally replace any damaged cells, and be constantly developing new cells and neuron interconnections in elongated neuron dendrites. Your brain cannot do this without phosphatidyl serine and the other growth precursors; this is why they are so keen on spraying fluoride on food in such massive quantities. The amounts they put in the water you consume, as well as in your toothpaste are tiny by comparison, and the constantly raging debates on fluoride in water and toothpaste are something of a red herring, intended to make us think that we should only be concerned about fluoride in these two areas, whilst being completely unaware of the absolutely massive poisoning of our food by it being sprayed with fluoride. It is most interesting that a food item most often used by the armed forces and survivalists is the most poisoned of all, so that these groups will be the most damaged of all. Powdered egg for instance, after being sprayed, contains around 750 ppm fluoride, the concentration of which is almost the same as toothpaste with fluoride in, and we know eating a tube of that is lethal to a child. Instant tea powder contains an inconceivably massive fluoride content after being sprayed, of nearly 90,000 ppm. This of course stops you thinking on higher levels stone cold dead; can you see they are trying to stop your clock?
Study this scientific evidence to see that fluoride prevents the brain from growing new tissue and regenerating old tissue. The text following is an extract from the following scientific article: http://www.fluoridation.com/brain.htm
Brain membrane lipid in rats were analyzed after being fed either 30 or 100
ppm fluoride for 3, 5, and 7 months. The protein content of brain with fluorosis
decreased, whereas the DNA content remained stable during the entire period of
investigation. After 7 months of fluoride treatment, the total brain
phospholipid content decreased by 10% and 20% in the 30 and 100 ppm fluoride
groups, respectively. The main species of phospholipid influenced by fluorosis
were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylserine. The
fatty acid and aldehyde compositions of individual phospholipid classes were
unchanged. No modifications could be detected in the amounts of cholesterol and
dolichol. After 3 months of fluoride treatment, ubiquinone contents in brain
were lower; however, at 7 months they were obviously increased in both groups of
fluoride treatment. The results demonstrate that the contents of phospholipid
and ubiquinone are modified in brains affected by chronic fluorosis and these
changes of membrane lipids could be involved in the pathogenesis of this
disease.

You can remedy the damage done to a great degree by using the supplement phosphatidyl serine, and add the other phospholipids too if you like, they often occur together in fish oil anyway.
Check this out about a spill at a water treatment plant. Flouride about to be put in the water supply there got spilled in the car park – 'eating the concrete' and requiring evacuation of the plant and a Haz-Mat team response.

Not in my water thanks!
I'm amazed the New has the gall to, on one hand describe how toxic it was and not question that its OK to put in the drinking water supply – Scary
Almost as bad is that few people point out that when you drink flouridated water, it spend a micro-second washing over your teeth before it's job help in them is done. Look at your flouridated toothpaste – there's a warning that says supervise kids and don't let them swallow – why ever not?
Sodium fluoride is the active ingredient in rat poison, and in insecticides, so you feed it to your children?
And we drink it in the public water supply?
Hey if it is poison it can't be good. IT IS POISON!
And the people pushing it are scam artists, just by the fact that it is mass medicating everyone against their will.
The best information on fluoride you will ever hear is at the bottom of the website MaeBrussell.com. Dr. Lee, Dr. Yiamouyannis, Dr. Mullenix, and Joanie Greggains give you the history, health effects, origins, and reasons why this toxic industrial waste product is banned in most countries of the world. The audio is 75 minutes long which fits perfectly on a regular audio cd. You might consider burning hundreds of cds and circulating them around your community. The pro-fluoridationists will have a much more difficult time doing their job when surrounded by an informed public. Good luck.
Don't add any drug or chemical to my water period. The only justifiable treatment may be small amounts chlorine to control bacterial growth but that's it, there are no benefits from digestive tract sodium fluoride ingestion. It's like say drinking a small amount of sun block in municipal water would be good to protect skin from UV, do you think that would work? Fluoride is supposed to have benefits through topical application only, guess what it's in your food look up the FDA's fluoride in food chart, there are cumulative effects going on here.

Okay, troxel, an interesting Toothpaste Recipe, (#2), I question, then what is Toothpaste Recipe #1 ? I’ll try the recipe except I cannot tolerate castile soap, as I’m highly allergic to CS.
