Flouride for dummies (literally)

Tenerife has recently had a drinking water scare due to too much fluoride getting added to the supply in some areas but there is plenty of evidence, which shows that even the approved levels of the substance actually pose a danger to our health.

The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water was in Germany’s Nazi prison camps, which were maintained partly by I.G. Farben, a German chemical manufacturing company. The Gestapo was not interested in fluoride’s supposed effect on children’s teeth. According to The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben by Joseph Borkin, the alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize people and force them into a docile submissive state.

This is the reason it is being used today, according to conspiracy theorists who put forward the idea that human populations are being deliberately “dumbed down.” This theory makes a lot of sense when you consider that fluoride remains one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances known, and is contained in twenty-five percent of major tranquillisers.

Sodium fluoride is not just in our drinking water but also in virtually every brand of toothpaste on sale, apart from those you can get from health shops? A large part of the answer as to how this came about is that it is a poisonous by-product from the aluminium manufacturing industry and also comes from the making of explosives, and fertilizers. Convincing people it was good for their teeth and adding it to the water supply was a way that was found of disposing of it.

Oscar Ewing, head of the Federal Security Agency (FSA), left being employed by ALCOA, the largest producers of sodium fluoride at the time, not long before he started the American fluoridation campaign back in the early 1950’s.

A large amount of the water we use goes down the drain and with it goes the fluoride. We get charged water rates to help them dispose of a toxic waste product!
A fluoride is a combination of the element fluorine with some other substance such as sodium. Fluorine is also a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, in anaesthetics, in psychiatric anti-psychotic drugs like Stelazine (Trifluoperazine) and anti-depressants such as Prozac (Fluoxetene hydrochloride) and the military nerve gas Sarin (Isopropyl-methyl-phosphoryl fluoride). The infamous date-rape hypnotic Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam) is a fluorinated drug from the benzodiazepine family, which also includes Valium.

It is known by scientists that too much fluoride stains and discolours teeth, causing a condition called dental fluorosis. However, besides this, some studies, although not offering conclusive proof, have linked fluoride to serious adverse health effects including bone cancer and osteoporosis.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a respected neurosurgeon and editor of the Blaylock Wellness Report, warns that fluoride may be linked to neurological impairment, brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, male impotence and infertility, sleep impairment and many forms of cancer.

The August 1948 Journal of the American Dental Association shows that evidence of adverse effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic Energy Commission for reasons of “national security.”

Fluoride is so much a part of a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical industry, that any withdrawal of support from pro-fluoridationists is financially impossible, legally unthinkable and potentially devastating to careers and so this dangerous substance continues to endanger our health.

Recently declassified US Military documents such as the Manhattan Project, show how fluoride is the key chemical in atomic bomb production and millions of tons of it were needed for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium. Fluoride poisoning, not radiation poisoning, was revealed as the leading chemical health hazard for both workers and communities nearby.
