Fluoride products lack F.D.A.
approval for safety and effectiveness
No risk analysis on
Fluoride - releasing compounds- Product Control Act proposed - California,
USA
In the United States, J.
William Hirzy, Ph.D., will testify in Sacramento, CA, before the Assembly
Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee in support of the
California Fluoride Product Quality Control Act - A.B.1565 - on behalf of
the union that represents all of the toxicologists, biologists, chemists,
physicians and other scientists and professionals at the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Hirzy is expected to
provide background information on the decision by the union of EPA
professionals to request a moratorium on all fluoridation based on his
testimony before the June 29, 2000, U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing on
Arsenic, Radon and Fluoride.
Citing evidence from the
Congressional investigation by the U.S. House Committee on Science in 1999
and 2000 that reveals that no government agency has performed a risk
analysis on the specific fluoride-releasing compounds that are used in 90
percent of the nation's fluoridation programs, Hirzy is expected to point
out that no fluoride product, including fluoride drops, tablets, and
vitamins intended for ingestion for the purpose of controlling tooth decay,
has ever been approved for safety and effectiveness by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
Myron Coplan, co-author of
two studies published in 1999 and December 2000 that evaluated lead levels
in the blood of 280,000 children in Massachusetts and 151,000 children in
New York, will also provide testimony.
Coplan, a registered
professional chemical engineer, and co-author, Roger Masters, Ph.D., head of
the Dartmouth Foundation for Neuroscience and Society, were provided a grant
from the EPA's Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training and by
the Earhart Foundation, which integrates scientific discoveries in
neuroscience, environmental chemistry, and human behaviour.
Their studies showed a
doubling of the incidence of the danger level of 10 micrograms per deciliter
of lead in children's blood when silicofluoride and hydrofluosilicic acid
(fluoride-releasing compounds) from the phosphate fertilizer industry are
present in the public drinking water compared to sodium fluoride or no
fluoride additives.
Authored by California
Assembly Member Dennis Mountjoy, A.B.1565, requires that the California
Department of Health Services only certify those specific fluoride-releasing
compounds intended for addition to the public water supply for which a risk
assessment by a government agency has been performed, an evaluation of
effectiveness for health claims has been approved by the FDA, and assurances
that the compound will contain no contaminants that exceed the Public Health
Goals for those contaminants.

STOP PRESS: THE DECAYED STATE
OF SCIENTIFIC, POLITICAL AND DENTAL HONESTY
Fluoridated Tasmania -
Dentist Shortage
The Hansards of each
Australian State and Federal Parliament clearly record the statements of
your local politician in promoting compulsory artificial fluoridation.
The only compulsory
fluoridation action really necessary should be a Law forcing every person to
read, study and understand Hansard reports, exactly what your politician
guaranteed you about fluoridation stopping dental decay and putting dentists
out of work.
The Parliaments
(politicians) were in raptures (see Hansard) about the altruistic action of
dentists giving up their livelihoods for fluoridation that will stop dental
decay from the cradle to the grave.
No excuses, no maybe or
could be, just a blanket overall guarantee which “will put dentists out of
work”, that they will never again be needed for dental treatment of decayed
teeth.
Fluoridation also
contravenes the Australian Constitution -
“Section S.51 (xiiiA)”:
“... medical and dental
services but not so as to authorise any form of civil conscription ...”
Fluoride is accepted as a
compulsory (conscription) medicine - drug, ingested to cause a physiological
change in the body, all of which is pronounced, scientifically and medically
and legally accepted as medicine.
A current example of
fluoridation dishonesty is the Australia wide announcement by National media
that Tasmania has dire dental problems in the population and not enough
dentists for the requirements of the community.
“The A.D.A. has warned
that the State is on the brink of a dental crisis.” (The Advocate 4
May 2001)
Tasmania was the first
State in Australia to fluoridate drinking water supplies in 1953 - 48 years
of fluoridation.
They did not even consider
waiting for the results of a ten year U.S. study, the first in the world.
The Government and its
Health Department presented such “sound” and “honest” claims and
“recommendations” that after fluoridation, dental decay will vanish.
Panic has now set in over
dental problems and a shortage of dentists.
History is often a damning
situation, it reveals falsehoods.
The Australian Fluoridation
News Nov-Dec., Vol 32, No 6, 1996, documented the same Tasmanian dental
problems, at which time the Tasmanian Government was planning to import
foreign dentists because of the back-log of necessary dental care,
devastating the community and a political problem of magnitude.
How they wanted another
scientific falsehood to cover past tracks.
In 1995 the Tasmanian
Parliament passed a Bill in the Lower House, prohibiting public meetings
discussing fluoridation, but the Bill failed in the Upper House.
The truth about
fluoridation prohibited by Parliament!
