THE TRUTH BY FLUORIDATION EXAMINATION

How commercial “specialist groups” influence Governments, the press and the public in their globalisation policies which promote and sustain compulsory fluoridation.

by Glen S.R. Walker

Examinations are the testing of knowledge and truth, so when information presented to the public is shown to be incorrect and misleading, whether by accident or design, the people and organisations who present such data have failed the test.

Over 50 years, since the introduction of fluoridation, we have been bombarded in a bloody minded manner by so-called scientists, researchers and commercial groups, professionals in many disciplines, and those politicians “looking after” our well-being, all selling the use of poisonous fluoride chemical pollutants that are internationally banned from dumping into rivers, seas, oceans and lakes, but they consider suitable to dump into our human drinking water supplies by compulsion!

Where do or does the mountains of this fluoride waste by-product toxic pollutant come from?

By Law it is removed from superphosphate during manufacturing because of its toxicity if spread on farmlands.

It would not only kill the soil, the crops, the pasture and the animals it would be a serious health hazard to the farmer and his family.

The promoters, in the name and reputation of their organisations, Universities, Political Parties, Medical and Dental Associations, Pharmaceutical Schools and those grandiose groups such as The World Health Organisation, The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council and Government Health Departments throughout the world, claim fluoridation safe and effective for all age groups and existing health differential conditions.

To this day not one of this group has published scientific data proving fluoridation safe, nor any studies on the fluoride pollutant they claim safe for human consumption through the kitchen tap.

On this most important, moral, scientific, political and democratic matter of safety, they all fail the Examination of True Science, and sadly, so does the population also fail, but in their health.

They parrot their masters and hunt in flocks, rarely singly. They are noisy parrots, garrulous and brash, usually with a limited vocabulary using the taught catch phrases handed down from generation to generation of dentists and originally derived from the myths of the American fluoride lobby that carries the banner for the waste fluoride pollutant.

These parrots are closely protected by the Governments of many countries including Australia, just in case they may become an endangered species of commercial wealthy pseudo scientists.

Some pro-fluoridation followers remain adamant in their pronouncements, seemingly not willing to bite the hand that feeds them, a position difficult to oppose.

Their convoluted, unscientific, untrue assessment of fluoride science is legend in public manuscripts. 

Misrepresentation of York Review

The latest example of their kind of “honest” scientific presentation of fluoridation facts is their delirious reaction to the official data that opposed their ever repeated false propaganda.

The U.K. Government, York University Review of Fluoridation, October 2000, has been publicly misrepresented by the British Dental Association, The British Fluoridation Society (part of B.D.A.), The British Medical Association, B.B.C. Radio and Television (BBC). The media in general provided them with plenty of free press.

So badly was the Review scientifically and morally misrepresented, the Chairman of the Review Committee, Professor Trevor Sheldon has gone to extreme action in the media and Parliament to counter the wrong statements by the fluoride lobby agents posing under such groups that seem to appeal to populations as “the do-gooders”. They have failed the examination of honesty in reporting scientific facts. 

Consider the U.K. House of Lords (Hansard)

Lord Avebury:

“My Lords, are the Government satisfied that fluoridation is the most exhaustively tested public health measure that the world has ever known?”

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath:

“Your Lordships may be aware that a report from York University commissioned by the Government concluded in October that fluoridation helps to reduce tooth decay. It also found no evidence to support the concerns that had been expressed about health effects.”

He failed to state that the York Review was unable to state scientifically that no other cells in children’s bodies are also poisoned by fluoride.

Lord Baldwin of Bewdley, House of Lords, 13th December, 2000 (Hansard):

“... I turn lastly to the vexed matter of water fluoridation. In the 1999 White Paper, Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation, the Government announced that they were setting in motion an ‘up-to-date expert scientific review of fluoride and health’.

“Possible legislation was foreshadowed. Partly because of the many questions I had tabled on this topic, and the debate in my name in December 1998, I found myself on the advisory board to the review team at the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at York, in close contact with the scientific process from the summer of 1999 to the publication of the final report on 6th October this year.

“The expectation of the dental and medical authorities, and it is fair to say of the Government also, was that the safety and effectiveness of fluoridation would be confirmed. That expectation was disappointed. In addressing the five principal questions that were asked, the report is studded with phrases such as “limited quantity”, “moderate quality”, “a small number of studies”, “needs further clarification”, “surprising to find that little high quality research has been undertaken”, “insufficient quality to allow confident statements”, “not ... enough good quality evidence ... to reach conclusions”. Important gaps in the evidence base were identified.

“I am aware that many of your Lordships have had briefings from the British Dental Association, the British Fluoridation Society and/or the National Association for Equity in Dental Health. I am aware, as we all are, that briefings by professional bodies, including professors of dentistry, carry weight with the public, are likely to be believed and therefore bear a particular responsibility for accuracy. These briefings and press releases are little short of extraordinary.

“I have collated four pages of statements culled from these documents, with alongside them for comparison quotations from the text of the report itself. I can give the flavour of them in two or three short examples. I have placed copies in the Library for those who would like to read more.

“The British Dental Association says,

“The report confirms that there is clear evidence that fluoridation reduces (decay)”,

the report stated:

“To have clear confidence in the ability to answer (this) question ... the quality of the evidence would need to be higher”.

“Because I am known to oppose the fluoridation of water, I have taken the greatest care to keep in step with the leading scientists at York and to write and say nothing in interpretation of their report which goes beyond the evidence. I have the permission of Professor Sheldon, the founding director of the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at York, who chaired the advisory board which oversaw the whole review process, to quote him as follows:

“It is particularly worrying ... that statements which mislead the public about the review’s findings have been made in the press releases and briefings by the British Dental Association, the National Alliance for Equity in Dental health and the British Fluoridation Society. I should like to correct some of these errors.”

“He continues:

“1. Whilst there is evidence that water fluoridation is effective at reducing caries, the quality of studies was generally moderate and the size of the estimated benefit, only of the order of 15%, is far from massive.

2. The review found water fluoridation to ‘be significantly associated with high levels of dental fluorosis, which was not characterised as just a ‘cosmetic issue’.

3. The review did not show water fluoridation to be safe. The quality of the research was too poor to establish with confidence whether or not there are potentially important adverse effects in addition to the high levels of fluorosis. The report recommended that more research was needed.

4. There was little evidence to show that water fluoridation has reduced social inequalities in dental health.

“I shall skip most of what follows and just give Professor Sheldon’s final point. He states:

“The review team was surprised that in spite of the large number of studies carried out over several decades there is a dearth of reliable evidence with which to inform policy. Until high quality studies are undertaken ... there will continue to be legitimate scientific controversy over the likely effects and costs of water fluoridation.”  (Emphasis added)

“My only question to the Minister, in the light of the state of the evidence as set out by one of the two principal scientists involved in the review and of these extraordinary briefing papers, are whether the Government still think it appropriate, first, to go on making financial contributions to the British Fluoridation Society, and, secondly, to encourage certain health authorities, as they have said that they would, to consider water fluoridation schemes. The noble Lord would also do me a good turn if he could secure for me a reply from his colleague the Secretary of State to the personal letter I wrote to him on this matter on 5th August, repeated on 7th October, and reminded again on 14th November. With fluoridation, things tend to take a long time.”

Lord Colwyn: 

“Perhaps I may touch briefly on fluoridation. I am well aware that the noble Earl, Lord Baldwin, will have given an opposite view to mine. The recent York Review has confirmed that fluoridation is safe and effective in reducing levels of tooth decay and is essential in the fight to reduce inequalities in dental health. The Government have announced that they will be -

“encouraging health authorities with particular dental health problems to consider fluoridating their water as part of their overall health strategy.” (Emphasis added)

Again under examination the House of Lords was mislead and the Government failed the examination of honesty. 

The British Dental Association says,

“There is no evidence that ... fluoridation is linked to cancer, bone disease or any other adverse effect” and “The report confirms that fluoridation reduces dental health inequalities.”

the report says,

“The research evidence is of insufficient quality to allow confident statements about other potential harms (than dental fluorosis) or whether there is an impact on social inequalities.”

The British Fluoridation Society says,

“If there were any adverse effects ... it is inconceivable that the York review would have missed them”,

the York review says,

“Some possible adverse effects ... may take years to develop and so ... the relationship may go undetected”, and, “High quality research (into adverse effects ... is needed.”

“One might have thought if one did not know that fluoridation had been an article of dental faith for fifty years, that this was simply carelessness. Such a thought is dispelled when one finds a wrong figure quoted for seriously mottled teeth, which could only be cited by the author having read, and misinterpreted, some of the very small print.”

So bad was York Review scientifically and indeed morally misrepresented to the public, the Chairman of the York Review, Professor Sheldon, went to extreme action to refute the dental and medical misinformation in both media and The Parliament.

These organisations, smarting under the York Review negative findings on fluoridation, seem to be the heroes and the do-gooders, appealing to the public, who trust their integrity in their particular fields of human health endeavours.

Perhaps the most outlandish culpable health statement by the British Medical Association, printed in their BMA Journal, relates to misinformation on their well designed emotional old dental chestnut “that fluoridation is especially (sometimes politically expressed as “most important benefit”) for the benefit of poor and disadvantaged children.

They stated:

“The Review confirms that fluoridation reduces dental health inequalities ... and significantly narrows the dental health gap.”

The following York Statement is exactly and officially their findings into research relative to the emotional dental propaganda of poor and disadvantaged children.

“The research evidence is of insufficient quality to allow confident statements about other potential harms (than dental fluorosis) or whether there is an impact on social inequalities.” Executive Summary Conclusions.

Is it any wonder that Professor Sheldon, as Chairman of the York Review, wrote to the U.K. Parliament, 10th September, 2000:

“It is particularly worrying then that statements (about our fluoridation findings) which mislead the public have been made in press releases and briefings by The British Dental Association (BDA), The British Fluoridation Society (part of the BDA).”

Again the fluoridation hoi polloi fail the scientific honesty examination.

There is only one safe substitute for fluoridation - NO FLUORIDATION.

Whilst there is any fluoridation, the problem will be a contest between honest science and commercial wealth that permeates the world.

The words of a now “untouchable” retired dental scientist:

“Fluoridation is what we fake it.”

With such allied media, politicians and international commercialism, the common transparency of good becomes quite opaque, presented under the fakery guise of today’s buzz-words, Ethical, Beneficial, Scientific, Proven, Public Importance, Progressive, plus the many conjured up new expressions of scientific deceit.

That group is lost, we give them a map, but they must still do the mapped journey of understanding and moral obedience to honest science.

The Parliamentary catechism is that, “nothing ever happens in politics unless it is planned.”

The political spin doctors do the planning, specialising in camouflaged science and truth.

“Planning is a scheme of arrangement; a scheme can be artful, underhand, intrigue”. (Oxford Dictionary) 

Example of Planned Camouflaged Action

The Sodium Silicofluoride, an industrial waste pollutant, added to Australian drinking water supplies, is described by the spin doctors as “NATURAL”.

(1) That description of the fluoride water additive is untrue. It is not “natural”, it is a fertiliser factory poisonous waste by-product pollutant, collected in the fertiliser factory exhaust chimneys.

(2) Their camouflaged “natural” claim is necessary to hide true scientific evidence documented in scientific literature.

(3) Their camouflage is an endeavour to hide all similar data as follows: The description of sodium silicofluoride as published in “Pharmacists U.S. Dispensatory” 24th Edition:

(4) “Sodium silicofluoride, also known as sodium fluosilicate, Na2SiF6, is a white granular powder soluble in 150 parts of water. Since the fluosilicates possess the toxic properties of the fluorides, this salt is largely used as an insect exterminator and rat poison. (Confirmed by WHO)

Fluorides are violent poisons to all living tissue because of their precipitation of calcium. When introduced into the mammalian circulation they cause fall of blood pressure, respiratory failure and general paralysis. Continuous ingestion of non-fatal doses, according to Sollmann (J.Pharmacol., 1921, 17, 197), cause general cachexia and permanent inhibition of growth. It is well established that the condition characterised by mottled enamel of the teeth endemic in certain areas - notably the Mississippi Valley - is due to the presence of small amounts of fluorides in the drinking water.” (cachexia - general ill health, cancer)

Advice to and from politicians is sadly exemplified when the recent President of the U.S.A., Bill Clinton, is spiritually counselled by a similar offender, Reverend Jesse Jackson. This draws attention to where such heads of State obtain their knowledge on particular matters. 

The Politics of Fluoridation

“If you are still wondering who is really behind all this (fluoridation manipulation), you may want to ask yourself what is the most important motivator in this country (USA).

“If you didn’t come up with MONEY, then you are in great need of an education in basic American business and politics. Just follow the money.

“Everybody looks to money as a cure for everything, especially the disposal of toxic waste by-products from big industry.

“Thus doctors, dentists and public-health administrators act as public relation agents and facilitators to impress politicians of industry’s need to get rid of its toxic waste, under the  pretext of health benefits. And industry sweetens the deal for legislators by special favours and incentives. (Call them considerations).”

(George Bushnell M.A., L.A. Citizens for Safe Drinking Water USA).

Obviously true fluoridation science is an enforced straight-jacket operation by those in charge of “Public Health”.

The prosperity of a Nation is presented in the media as “economy relating to a Government’s Budget”.

That “prosperity” is a fake to cover all other necessary attainments covered in Constitutions and honest democracy.

Governments and their bureaucrats suffer serious Moral Deficits, much more detrimental to the population than phoney “Finance Deficits”.

Paper-money cannot buy morality, without which a Nation cannot prosper in Democratic Constitutional honesty and freedom of the people.

Ask your politician about Government Moral Deficit.

“Dental Fluoride Science” is gift-wrapped to politicians and industry polluters, but their “science” is a mystery with little transparency.
