Fluoride – Some interesting facts
“The first appearance of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in the Nazi prison camps of Germany. The Gestapo was not concerned with the alleged effect of fluoride on children’s teeth; their alleged reason for mass medicating the water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force people in its concentration camps into quiet submission.”

USAF Commander George R. Jordan proved to congressional committees on anti-American activity in the 1950s that, in his position as liaison officer between the US and the Soviet Union, the Soviets openly admitted. ..
“Using fluoride in the water supplies in their gulags (concentration camps), to make the prisoners stupid, docile and servile.”
Fluoride, or hydrofluorosilicic acid (H 2 SiF 6 ), does not occur naturally, but is a waste byproduct of industrial manufacturing of aluminum, zinc, uranium, aerosol sprays, insecticides, fertilizers, plastics, lubricants, and chemical products. pharmacists.
It is also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972, ranked in toxicity above lead and just below arsenic.
Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (fluoxetene hydrochloride) and the nerve gas sarin (isopropyl-methyl-phosphoryl fluoride).
American fluoride-containing toothpastes are required by law to state: ‘”WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than you use to brush, seek professional help or contact a poison control center right away.”
Sources of fluoride include: fluoridated dental products, fluoridated pesticides, fluoridated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea. The tea plant especially seems to absorb large amounts of fluoride, and the more mature the leaf, the more fluoride. Less young green leaves.
Research by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a respected Washington-based research organization, suggests that children exposed to fluoride between the ages of five and 10 will experience a higher rate of osteosarcoma (bone cancer) between the ages of of 10 and 19.
Although osteosarcoma is rare, accounting for only about 3 percent of childhood cancers, it is especially dangerous. The mortality rate in the first five years is around 50 percent, and almost all survivors have amputated limbs, usually legs. The EWG has called for fluoride in tap water to be added to the US government’s classified list of substances known or anticipated to cause cancer in humans.
The Scientific American study, completed in January 2008, “concluded that fluoride may subtly alter endocrine function, especially in the thyroid gland which produces hormones that regulate growth and metabolism.”
Article in The Lancet on neurotoxins by P. Grandjean and PJ Landrigan; November 8, 2006. “Fluoride is a toxin and harmful to the brain and spinal cord.”
Sulfuryl Fluoride is a colorless and odorless gas recently legitimized for the fumigation of stored foods, i.e. grains, herbs, dry ingredients such as egg powder, etc. The following is a quote from the Fluoride Action Network site
“It is now acceptable for fumigations to produce fluoride residues of 70 ppm “in or on” all processed foods (except otherwise specified processed foods), 130 ppm “in or on” wheat, and 900 ppm” in or on” dry foods. eggs.”
As for the toxicity of sulfuryl fluoride, the main target is the brain. According to the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, its effect is to vacuolize sections of the brain. This means holes in the brain.
Research published by Dr. Phyllis Mullenix shows fluoride buildup and permanent brain damage in animals exposed to moderate levels. The offspring of pregnant animals showed marked hyperactivity (ADD), while adult animals at the same dose showed slowness or hypoactivity.
Fluoride interferes with iodine uptake crucial for hormone regulation and is thought to be responsible for the high incidence of underactive thyroid in Birmingham, UK, an area fluoridated for forty years. The region topped the UK ‘fat list’ in 2003 with 22 per cent of the population classified as clinically obese.
Sixty percent of the US water supply is fluoridated, where an estimated 13 million women have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, and the drugs used to treat hypothyroidism were the second most prescribed in 1999.
Aluminum is routinely added at water treatment plants to remove suspended matter, and small amounts inevitably find their way into the public water supply. Aluminum and fluoride easily combine to produce aluminum fluoride. Elemental aluminum cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, but the compound aluminum fluoride can. Aluminum fluoride is poisonous to the kidneys and very little is excreted. Aluminum salts in the brain are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
A series of epidemiological studies in China have associated high fluoride exposures with lower IQs. In Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, China, higher levels of fluoride in drinking water were significantly associated with higher rates of mental retardation in a group of 512 children aged 8 to 13 years. (IQ The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) stated in 1977 that, for the average individual, a retention of 2 mg/day would result in crippling skeletal fluorosis after 40 years.
What makes fluoride so poisonous to humans is that about half of the daily intake of fluoride will not be removed. This is what makes it so dangerous. Toxicologists like to say, “The dose makes the poison.” Well, at least there is agreement that in a healthy person the kidneys will be able to remove about 50 percent of the daily intake of fluoride. The rest will be permanently absorbed by calcareous matter, such as bones and teeth.
If you live in a fluoridated area, drink several cups of brewed tea, or consume soft drinks and foods made with water from a fluoridated area, you could easily be consuming 10 liters of fluoridated water every day.
Scientists are wary of publishing any adverse effects, as the resulting litigation would cost billions and likely last decades. So we are in the usual place when it comes to our health; versus doing our own investigation and due diligence.
Many European countries, including France, Germany and Switzerland, have now banned the discharge of hydrofluorosilicic acid in drinking water. But oh darling. At a time when the devastating consequences of too much fluoride are becoming all too apparent in the US, Alan Johnson, the current Health Secretary, has announced that he wants every family in the UK to add fluoride to their tap water. tap. One has to wonder if he hasn’t been drinking too much fluoridated water.
