Fluoride Dangers

It may look crystal clear, but did you ever stop to think of what goes into our water?
Aside from chlorination for the past 50 years, our health authorities have been adding the chemical fluoride as the first public line of attack on tooth decay, and it works. But...
Dentist Dr Don Wilson says if the fluoride is there, the surface of the tooth is very resistant to plaque acids, if the fluoride is not there, the resistance is down so decay is more likely to occur.
Despite the success, authorities are now facing an anti-fluoride rebellion with some experts claiming that fluoride is poisoning us and the research is being over looked.
Christopher Bryson, author of 'The Fluoride Deception claims the safety standards for water fluoridation in this country are based on fraudulent science.
The claim of fraudulent science was boosted when a Harvard professor in the United States came under investigation for burying the results when one of his students made a profound and terrifying discovery.
Professor Mark Diesendorf is an environmental scientist, who has closely followed the issue of fluoridation and says there is the possibility that is now being looked at in the United States that fluoride might have increased the presence of a rare type of bone cancer in young men or boys.
This bombshell raises questions in South Australia about the safety of mandatory water fluoridation and whether there's more at stake than fighting tooth decay?
Geelong grandmother Elaine Valentine says she couldn't understand why she was able to lead a normal, healthy life in her home town, but whenever she headed to Melbourne and drank the water, she'd come home a very sick woman.
'I'd feel lousy and I'd get very lethargic, couldn't care less about anything, very, very tired and very, very weasy and just feel plain ill'.
All she was told was that it was a virus or exposure to plane fumes or even asthma. Unconvinced, Elaine consulted a natural therapist who immediately recognised something was seriously wrong
Dr Philip Robertson is a Naturopath who has a number of fluoride-sensitive clients.
'We went back to the hospital she then did the testing and was absolutely shocked to see a severe asthmatic reaction that Elaine had where her lung function actually dropped to a quarter volume when she drank the water with the fluoride added to it'.
Dr Robertson says up to 200 thousand Australians may be suffering from an intolerance to fluoride and not realise it. Symptoms range from headaches or indigestion to chronic arthritis.
'You have to basically conduct the tests or use an exclusion, that's where, if somebody's taking fluoride and they suspect there's a link between their symptoms, it's a matter of getting off the fluoride and watching to see if there's an improvement'.
And Elaine's not his only client. Retiree Carmel Stringer says she's been suffering from hypersensitivity to fluoride for nearly thirty years which has drastically restricted her lifestyle
'Painful joints... and initially sore throat and swollen glands… eating out is a problem, I can't have soups or anything made from water, when I visit friends I have to take my own water, it's just dreadful'.
She's had to fork out hundreds of dollars for a reverse osmosis water filter, the only way to remove fluoride in the home but says it's restored her health.
Nevertheless, Elaine and Carmel's pleas for recognition seem to be falling on deaf ears.
80 percent of public water in South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia is fluoridated… nearly 70 percent in Victoria and 91 percent in Tasmania... Queensland defies the trend with just 5 percent.
That may also change as health authorities make the push to cover more and more communities... and the reason? It's good for our teeth.
Adelaide's Jason Armfield from the Australian Research Centre for population oral health says there's nothing of substance in the case against fluoride and he recently co-authored a paper proving the benefits far outweigh the risks.
'There's been a number of links that have been brought up between fluoride in water and all sorts of things, cancer, Alzheimer’s, birth defects crime rates. You name it there have been links brought up but there's no proven scientific evidence for any of it'.
'In South Australia we've looked at differences between Adelaide and Mt Gambier and some other non fluoridated parts of the Riverland and we found as with the majority of our research that children who are living in non fluoridated areas generally had higher decay rates than children who are living in fluoridated areas'.
Other experts however argue that while toothpaste contains a pharmaceutical- grade fluoride, which has undergone stringent testing, the fluoride in our water is derived from a different, more worrying source.
Professor Mark Diesendorf from the Institute of Environmental Studies at the University of New South Wales, says there's enough science to prove the case against fluoride and we deserve the right to choose whether we have it in our water or not.
'Fluoridation in most water supplies involves putting in an industrial waste, the waste from the phosphate fertiliser industry into drinking water and not only does it contain fluoride but it contains traces of arsenic and heavy metals so that in itself is pretty worrying'.
'Even more frightening is that the health departments are not telling the truth about it they are so committed to fluoridation that they are suppressing evidence of harm'.
'Everyone has a right to be free from such exposures from what is essentially mass medication with an uncontrolled dose, so this is really a violation of ethics as well as a violation of people's health'.
While the jury's still out on fluoride and experts on both sides are locked in a fierce debate over its effectiveness and its safety, Carmel Stringer has this warning. 'If you have any symptoms that go on and on that you worry about go to an allergy specialist, have it diagnosed'.

The Truth About 'Fluoride'
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
(or what every Mother should know)
by A. True Ott
tott@mountainwest.net
© August 2000
Fluoride used by Nazis to sterilize inmates and make them docile. Fluoride a key dumbing down ingredient of Prozac and Sarin nerve gas -- poisons of choice for tyrant rats.
First of all, it needs to be stated that the 'substance' referred to as 'Fluoride' is a misnomer - there is no such substance listed in the periodic chart of the elements, nor in the prestigious CRC handbook, nor in the sacred 'bible' of the pharmaceutical industry - the illustrious 'Merck Index'. Instead, we find a GAS called Fluorine - and from the use of this gas in various industries such as aluminum manufacturing and the nuclear industry -certain toxic byproducts are created which have 'captured' fluorine molecules. One such toxic, poisonous 'byproduct' is called sodium Fluoride - which according to the Merck Index is primarily used as rat and cockroach poison and is also the active ingredient in most toothpastes and as an "additive to drinking water". But sadly, there is much more to this sordid tale.
Did you know that sodium Fluoride is also one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin Nerve Gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUORIDE) - (Yes, folks the same Sarin Nerve Gas that terrorists released on a crowded Japanese subway train!). Let me repeat: the truth the public needs to understand is the fact that Sodium Fluoride is nothing more (or less) than a hazardous waste by-product of the nuclear and aluminum industries. In addition to being the primary ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, it is also a main ingredient in anesthetic, hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs as well as military NERVE GAS! Why, oh why then is it allowed to be added to the toothpastes and drinking water to our people?
Historically, this substance was quite expensive for the worlds' premier chemical companies to dispose of - but in the 50's and 60's - Alcoa and the entire aluminum industry - with a vast overabundance of the toxic waste - SOMEHOW sold the FDA and our government on the insane (but highly profitable) idea of buying this poison at a 20,000% markup and then injecting it into our water supply as well as into the nation's toothpastes and dental rinse. Yes that's right friends, a 20,000% markup. Consider also that when sodium Fluoride is injected into our drinking water, its level is approximately 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink ½ of one percent of the total water supply, the hazardous chemical literally 'goes down the drain' and voila - the chemical industry has not only a free hazardous waste disposal system - but we have also PAID them handsomely in the process!!
Independent scientific evidence over the past 50 plus years has shown that sodium fluoride shortens our life span, promotes various cancers and mental disturbances, and most importantly, makes humans stupid, docile, and subservient, all in one neat little package. There is increasing evidence that aluminum in the brain is a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease, and evidence points towards sodium fluoride's strong affinity to 'bond' with this dangerous aluminum (remember it is a byproduct of aluminum manufacturing) and also it has the ability to 'trick' the blood-brain barrier by imitating the hydrogen ion thus allowing this chemical access to brain tissue.
Honest scientists who have attempted to blow the whistle on sodium fluoride's mega-bucks propaganda campaign have consistently been given a large dose of professional 'black-listing' and thus their valid points disputing the current vested interests never have received the ink they deserve in the national press. Just follow the money to find the 'control' and you will find prominent families to be prominent 'players' in the scandal. In 1952 a slick PR campaign rammed the concept of 'fluoridation' through our Public Health departments and various dental organizations. This slick campaign was more akin to a highly emotional "beer salesman convention" instead of the objective, scientifically researched program that it should have been. It has continued in the same vein right up to the present day - and now sodium fluoride use has now become 'usual and customary'.
To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of this issue, just look at the response given by people (perhaps yourself included?) when the subject of fluoridation comes up. You need to ask yourself, "Is this particular response based on EMOTIONS born of TRADITION, or is it truly unbiased and based instead on thoroughly researched objectivity?" There is a tremendous amount of emotional, highly unscientific "know-it-all" emotions attached to the topic of 'sodium fluoride' usage -but I personally have yet to find even ONE objective, double blind study that even remotely links sodium fluoride to healthy teeth at ANY AGE. Instead, I hear and read such blather as "9 out of 10 DENTISTS recommend 'fluoride' toothpaste" etc. etc. etc. Let me reiterate: truly independent (unattached to moneyed vested interest groups) scientists who've spent a large portion of their lives studying and working with this subject have been hit with a surprising amount of unfair character assassinations from strong vested-interest groups who reap grand profits from the public's ignorance as well as from their illnesses. (Just follow the money!)
Do you have diabetes and/or kidney disease? There are reportedly thousands of Australian with diabetes. If it is true that diabetics drink more liquids than other people, then according to the Physicians Desk Reference these 11 million people are at much higher risk drinking fluoridated water because they will receive a much deadlier dose because of their need for higher than normal water consumption. Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of the kidneys, which of course is the primary means in which fluoride (or any other toxic chemical) is eliminated from the body. Does it not make sense that these people shouldn't drink fluoridated water at all? Cases are on record where ill kidney patients on dialysis machines died because they ingested relatively small amounts of SODIUM FLUORIDE from unwittingly drinking the 'fluoridated' city water supply? Will adequate warnings be given to people with weak kidneys, or will the real cause of such deaths be 'covered up' in the name of 'domestic tranquility'?
Concerning the 'practice' of putting sodium fluoride into drinking water, where did this insanity begin and WHO tried it first? From personal research, the very first occurrence of purposefully putting sodium fluoride into drinking water was in the German ghettos and in Nazi Germany's infamous prison camps. The Gestapo you see had little concern about sodium fluoride's 'supposed' effect on children's teeth; instead, their reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to STERILIZE HUMANS and force the people in their concentration camps into calm, bovine, submission. (See for reference: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" written by Joseph Borkin.) Kind of shocking isn't it folks!! Ah, but it gets even better.
The following letter was received by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954, from a research chemist by the name of Charles Perkins. He writes:
"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 Nazis 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 and cost-effective light lobotomy? --- Ott].
"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 to 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 plans to communize the world."
"I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great I.G. 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."
Signed: CHARLES E. PERKINS, Chemist, 2 October, 1954.
Another letter needs to be quoted at length as well to help corroborate Mr. Perkin's testimony. This letter was written by a brilliant (and objectively honest) scientist named Dr. E.H. Bronner. Dr. Bronner was a nephew of the great Albert Einstein, served time in a WWII prison camp and wrote the following 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 very small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective antidote has been found. Every exterminator knows that it is the most effective 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 then 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 (and with that, the rest of the western world) 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!!"
Signed: Dr. E.H. Bronner, Research Chemist, Los Angeles
Apparently, the public outcry by Dr. Bronner and others precluded the fluoridation of public water systems for a season - but soon thereafter, the Food and Drug Administration allowed this deadly poison to be put in 'toothpaste', and our dentists were systematically brainwashed into providing 'fluoride treatments' to their many patients. Of course, today many major metropolitan areas have a minimum of 1 parts per million sodium fluoride systematically added to their water supply and more areas are seeking to add this poison every year. Add to this the fact that bottling companies (soft drinks, juices, etc.) use fluoridated water to make their products - is it any wonder that people can no longer think clearly and ask pertinent questions of their elected and ecclesiastical leaders? Is it also a mystery why so many top Nazi mind control scientists were brought to America by the CIA and their infamous 'Operation Paper Clip'?
If you believe all of this is 'just a coincidence' - go ahead and keep brushing your teeth with your 'fluoride' toothpaste and sucking on your sodium fluoride enhanced Coke or Pepsi product - for ignorance truly is bliss and you truly deserve what you get.
Mothers, if your little ones are having trouble concentrating at home or in school, or have been diagnosed as 'attention deficit' - perhaps you would be well advised to look for the culprit (and the solution to the problem) no further than your home medicine cabinet (your tube of toothpaste) and your friendly neighborhood school's water fountain!!

Response-ability VS Benefits
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
One must consider the benefit versus the risks when it comes to pretty much everything in life. Is flouride really providing the benefits worthy of all the health issues created?
Its very similar to prescription medications, consider for a moment any single medication has generally dozens of side-effects, of which the patient is unaware of when handed the prescription by the doctor, or indeed the chemist.
Where does one draw the line?

I am personally against flouride added to Queensland water - fluoride isn't meant to be ingested, it's for our teeth, so we shouldn't be swallowing it.
You can get toothpaste at the chemist that has HEAPS more fluoride in it than supermarket toothpastes and the chemist toothpaste has warnings all over it saying 'do not swallow toothpaste!!! rinse mouth well after use!!!!'
Maybe the level of fluoride in the water is not significant enough to damage us if we swallow it, but something like this is sure to have a negative affect somewhere along the line.

Guys consider using water filtration systems or simple water filters.
When i saw tap water electrolys, which separates solid particles in the water and makes them visible, the tap water turned into orange rusty color. Nasty!
After that I`ve installed water filtration system under my kitchen sink and since then i check my water monthly with water tester, it shows that the water is crystal clear. You not gonna belive me but bottles spring water is dirtier that the one i filter at home.

Around 1980 many experts believed that fluorides should not be used in high concentrations, for instance above those in dentifrices, because this could block remineralisation in the body of pre-cavity lesions. However, it is now known that such undesirable effects are negligible or non-existent. In the fifties and sixties, fluoride tablets were widely used in Europe and helped to make the concept of caries prevention popular.

Submitted by full tilt (not verified) on
Water fluoridation was the first breakthrough in the practice of preventive cariology on a community level and has remained one of the cornerstones of prevention in dentistry. The concepts regarding the mechanisms of the caries-inhibitory effect, however, have changed in several respects. Today there is general agreement that topical effects on the erupted enamel are most important. The contention that there is no pre-eruptive effect whatsoever has created confusion; there is in fact evidence for a minor pre-eruptive protective effect. Around 1980 many experts believed that fluorides should not be used in high concentrations, for instance above those in dentifrices, because this could block remineralisation in the body of pre-cavity lesions. However, it is now known that such undesirable effects are negligible or non-existent. In the fifties and sixties, fluoride tablets were widely used in Europe and helped to make the concept of caries prevention popular. From 1980 onwards, fluoride dentifrices were found to have a much greater impact and were recognized as being able to lead to a decline of caries prevalence in entire countries, and fluoride tablets gradually lost their importance. Antifluoridationists were unable to delay or hinder the widespread use of fluoride toothpastes but in many cases have successfully opposed public health measures such as fluoridation of water or of salt. The spread of these methods, beneficial for all social strata, might have been more rapid if some of the experts had not propounded the erroneous supposition that fluoride dentifrice will be sufficient for caries prevention. Sale of fluoridated salt has been authorized in several countries on a nationwide scale. However, only Latin American countries have introduced salt fluoridation for entire populations. In Central and Eastern Europe where caries prevalence continues to be high and where the level of usage of topical fluorides including dentifrices will presumably remain at a low level for many years, salt fluoridation would be beneficial.

Fluoride has a strong affinity for calcium, the material from which bones and teeth are made. Systemic fluoride, that is fluoride ingested in food or water, is absorbed, mainly through the stomach and intestine, into the bloodstream where it is attracted to bones, teeth and any other calcium in the body. In young children whose milk teeth or, later, permanent teeth are growing, the fluoride is carried to developing tooth buds. Here the interaction with the developing crystals initiates the replacement of the tooth enamel's normal crystalline composition ( hydroxyapatite ) with a related crystal which incorporates fluoride ( fluorapatite ) while they are growing. As fluorapatite is believed to be stronger and more resistant to decay than is the more normal hydroxyapatite, the claim is that teeth of children who drink fluoridated water or are given fluoride supplements are less likely to develop caries. It should be borne in mind, however that, once fully formed, tooth enamel is static — unlike bone, it doesn"t undergo metabolic changes. Thus systemic fluoride can only be incorporated into teeth during the growing period. That is up to about the age of twelve. Water fluoridation will not strengthen older teeth.

The fluoride ion cleaning (FIC) process is used to assist in the successful braze repair of nickel-based super alloy components. This process is especially effective in removing deeply embedded oxides in wide and narrow cracks typically found in aircraft parts such as in combustors and turbine blades and vanes. Where Al and Ti are present in the base metal, the FIC process depletes these elements from the surface, thereby improving the braze flow and repair of the cracked components. The objective of this paper is to highlight the benefits of using the FIC process at sub-atmospheric pressure. To achieve this, firstly entailed designing and producing specimens suitable to study the fatigue crack behaviour of brazed repaired cracks/joints under mechanical and thermal loading. The cracks/joints prior to brazing were either in an unclean form, i.e. had an oxide layer on, or were fluoride ion cleaned at sub-atmospheric pressure. Fatigue crack propagation tests under constant load as well as under constant stress intensity factor range were conducted in order to study fatigue crack growth characteristics in the parent and braze repaired area. In addition, the resistance to thermal cycling was investigated using single-edge wedge specimens containing brazed repaired joints. Two different braze materials were also under investigation. For the unclean crack specimens, abnormally high crack growth rates were obtained from the brazed repaired area as compared to parent Ni-based material; whereas for the fluoride ion cleaned crack specimens, lower crack growth rates were experienced. Similarly for the unclean crack specimens, the thermal fatigue crack initiation life were significantly shorter compared with the fluoride ion cleaned crack specimens.
How Fluoride and Cancer Relate
Submitted by cooking roast beef (not verified) on
Basically Roger D Gurus ( research professor of State Dartmouth School , Hanover, New Hampshire, USA ) reported : The express chemical compounds most often used to fluoridate water in the States, fluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride haven't ever been adequately tested. Epidemiological studies indicate that, where these silicofluorides are added to public water, youngsters are noticeably rather more likely to absorb lead in their environment from lead paint in old homes, lead levels in water, and so on. A search on the net under the key term "silicofluoride" unearths a number of annoying articles in relation to dangerous effects. For new proof of potential heavy harm from fluoride ingestion ( see fluoridealert.org / limeback.htm ) for an outline. There are hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of correctly done systematic studies caution about the short and long term hazards of fluoridation and the proof is gathering of the tragic results of water fluoridation on all living things. It may also lead to a dramatic increase in an otherwise rare and deadly form of bone cancer in teen boys, even after comparatively brief periods of exposure.

By the "rationale" (guilt by association) that these "chemists" use, one could indict chloride (as in sodium chloride) for its inclusion in many poisonous chemicals. The tranquilizer clonazepam, for example, contains chlorine. Chlorine is in a tranquilizer, therefore chlorine is a tranquilizer. NOT. There are reasons to be for or against fluoridated water, but there is no argument here. Take off the tin-foil hat, you psychos, and get mental help.
The truth behind fluoridation
Submitted by JohnM (not verified) on
It truly saddens me when I see these debates about whether or not Sodium Fluoride is "safe" or "good for our teeth". The true problem is that the population's judgement is clouded long before they take up the argument about fluoridation. All you have to do to know the TRUTH behind Sodium Fluoride is do some very simple research on the issue - First, FLUORIDE TAKEN INTERNALLY HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER ON PERMANENT TEETH - second, look up the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Sodium Fluoride. http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/s3722.htm Due to limited space the true reason for the fluoridation of public water is because of it interaction with ALUMINUM which it converts to Aluminum Fluoride which is readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Aluminum Fluoride is another highly toxic substance as evidenced by it's MSDS http://www.solvaychemicals.us/static/wma/pdf/5/1/1/9/ALF.pdf Once it has entered the bloodstream the aluminum fluoride oxidizes and collects in the liver and Cerebral Cortex of the brain. Here it attracts Beta Amyloid proteins which bond to it producing plaque structures that release neurotoxins - neutralizing functionality of surrounding brain tissues thereby resulting in the loss of use of that area of the brain. Sodium Fluoride is a DEADLY POISON and I challenge ANYONE who supports it's use to mix one tsp of it in a glass of water and drink it (5-10 grams=lethal dose). The water is fluoridated as a population control mechanism and it has proven to be extremely effective in that regard. Bottom line - YOU are responsible for YOUR health - on one else is - and if YOU want to drink a deadly poison voluntarily - please, be my guest but I will take every measure possible to avoid ingestion of this powerful poison into my or my family's bodies...
