THE REAL STORY OF FLUORIDATION

Fluoridation started as a commercial project and has remained in that exact situation ever since. It has nothing to do with teeth.

All the promises about fluoridation are political jargon far removed from professional science.

The wealth and power of fluoride commercialism has attempted to alter the basics of chemistry by changing, in their world of science, a dangerous poisonous fluoride chemical into a perfectly desirable and harmless product. Some even promote the myth that life could not exist without its daily ingestion.

Millions have been spent on 50 years fluoridation and fluoride promotion, and millions more directly and indirectly, but its 'shonky' beginning always overshadows its poor world progress. No more than 4% of the world's population use fluoridation. Success, only by money, power, without true science, is short-term gobble-de-gook politics, but glorified by politicians world-wide.

Changes in fluoridation claims and policies have been dramatic, mostly dramatised by dentists and politicians, whose scientific reputations are in tatters over the science of fluoridation, but they are "encouraged" to continue the fight for their lost cause.

From its very beginning, fluoridation has existed only on exaggerated claims that fail with public scientific scrutiny.

The fluoride promoters think-tank, produce unscientific counters to any public revelations of their false claims and scientific fraud.

They have a strange and serious mind-set on fluoridation, and somehow believe their ignorance is quite safe, and think it is a similar ignorance to the population, thus making their claims scientifically authentic. That is not so, the public are quite aware of political fluoridation machinations, and mentally record that political behaviour. The day of reckoning will arrive.

Fluoridation was dogmatically, internationally and locally promised, to stop tooth decay by at least 60%, sometimes the claims in Australia by politicians increased that to 90%.

The N.H. and M.R.C. in their 1991 Report on Fluoridation, suggested new improvement data of approximately 20-40%, but protected their "expert scientific intellect" by stating:

"This estimate (20-40%) is inherently imprecise because of limited data available." (in other words, they have nothing on which to make any claims.)

"The reduction in caries in permanent teeth in children is likely to be towards the lower end of that range." (20%)

Note their scientific terminology. Their claims are based, "on imprecise data", "likely to be towards the lower end of the range"! The science of fluoridation by Australia's leading responsible fluoridation promoters explicitly states their "science" is built on "inherently imprecise limited data".

The important U.S. Government Survey of 30,000 children in 84 areas, when examined, showed no difference between these thousands of children in fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas.

As the original fluoridation unconditional promise to the world is false, then everything built on that false foundation has no scientific or moral respectability.

Fluoridation was the great panacea of modern medicine, dentistry and Government Health Departments, but their original promises to the population were false and unscientific.

Fluoridation has been propped up since its inception by not only false Government public advertising, but the introduction of School Dental Clinics to treat children's teeth, teeth supposed to be automatically free of all decay because of fluoridation.

The great commercial enterprise of fluoride toothpaste

Then came the great commercial enterprise of fluoride toothpaste, the world's greatest money spinner of all time. Were the fluoride toothpaste claims of safety honest?

Were the television advertisements an honest, safe recommendation for children using fluoride toothpaste?

Fluoride toothpaste was endorsed by the A.D.A., A.M.A., N.H. and M.R.C., all Australian Government Health Departments, School Dental Clinics, together with the dental industry, especially through the University Dental Schools.

To encourage children to "like" fluoride toothpaste, it was flavoured, making it more like a confectionery. Children loved it and literally ate it with relish.

Then came the fluoride bombshell.

Children suffering fluoride poisoning from fluoride toothpaste with "unaccountable" sickness, began to appear in epidemic proportions, mottled teeth, "fluoride poisoning". The N.H. and M.R.C. stated in their 1991 research into fluoridation that mottled teeth were the first sign of fluoride poisoning!

Questions began to be asked by parents as to why and how their children had mottled teeth.

Panic began in Health Departments, resulting in suggestions that the fluoride content in fluoride toothpaste should be reduced by 50% for children, half the original formula that had been promoted by all the dental and medical experts, with Government approval and displayed on TV.

There were also, quiet, indeed very quiet suggestions that "flavoured" fluoride toothpaste should be removed, not to stop tooth decay, but to stop children swallowing flavoured poisonous fluoride, causing mottled teeth, which in reality was "killing the enamel cells in children's teeth" and causing embarrassing disfigurement to their appearance.

That change was promoted as a great credit (sic) to the dental health practitioners; but the amount of mottling did not stop, there was no apology or explanation such as "we are sorry, or we are responsible", but panic to again readjust the dose of fluoride literally pushed onto children by the fluoride medical and dental experts.

The TV presentations advertising fluoride toothpaste, with total length brush loads, should now be reduced to "only a pea size" amount on the brush, shouted the fluoride promoters.

To rational thinking adults in privileged professional positions and politicians supposedly protecting the community health, one would expect an urgent independent inquiry into such a health problem, and discover from where all that dangerous health misinformation was generated.

But not a word from the "Dental experts" or your friendly politician or indeed any medical authority in the land.

However, there is more!

The prudent suggestion from the dental "experts" is that now "only a smear of fluoride toothpaste on the toothbrush should be used by young children", "a smear" compared with 2 inches in the past!


Claims of reduction in tooth decay are based "on imprecise data" (N.H. & M.R.C. Report on Fluoridation)


Surely this is a real health scandal, when the same people guaranteeing fluoridation and fluoride as a perfectly safe material for all, especially children, now recommend the fluoride content entering children's mouths be reduced by 99%.

That surely qualifies fluoride as a dangerous chemical for humans and especially children, but no accountability requested by Government!

None of the above qualifies for medical, dental or political accountability because commercialism reigns supreme and democracy set aside.

Another prop for public fluoridation

Fluoride was losing public acceptance, and in another prop for public fluoridation, the fluoride medical experts announced fluoride as a cure for osteoporosis.

Doctors around the world started prescribing fluoride tablets as a cure for osteoporosis, but like fluoride toothpaste, the time cycle proved fluoride not able to cure osteoporosis, but indeed damaged bones and the body in general.

It lost medical world approval, but no accountability for damage to humans involved or the Government showing any interest!

The dental industry thought fluoridation would elevate them up amongst elite scientists, but it will never occur on "their" scientific basis and endorsement of poisonous fluoride chemicals for humans.

However, an international article in a world-wide journal recently announced, "Dentists today are physicians, they have become experts on human disease and are saving lives." They have reached their pinnacle of excellence!

The latest data published by the Australian dental industry indicates 75% of Australians are suffering gum disease, which supposedly was impossible after fluoridation and everyone's perfect teeth. The latest dental literature warns dentists not to irrigate diseased gums with fluoride solutions because it can damage the gums and increase the serious problem.

High Tooth Decay Levels

The great fluoride propaganda has almost collapsed with Australian public announcement in the media, July 1999, that - "Tooth Decay Levels are High".

The press reported, Professor John Spencer, Dental Researcher, University of Adelaide, stated:

"The dental profession and the community must recognise that caries (decay) is not a disappearing disease. Caries remain one of the most widespread diseases in the community." (Herald-Sun 11th July, 1999)

Is fluoride a harmless chemical? Window cleaners in the Melbourne business area are reporting pitting of window glass. That indicates acid rain with fluorides, so we are swamped with the stuff in every direction of our lives, but nobody in authority seems to care and no accountability suggested.

Can any honest scientist or politician give fluoride a "clean sheet" and promote it harmless, as used in industry, medicine, dentistry, and compulsory fluoridation for human consumption?

Fluoride chemicals are not only potent poisons, they are the foundation of chemical war weapons, nerve gas formulations.

Fluoride chemicals are so dangerous in their final possible use that export of sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride to particular countries is prohibited from the U.S.A. without proper export approval.

Perhaps the most informed company, with a history of fluoride chemicals, is the original Alcoa U.S.A., and yet in August this year 1999, Alcoa was fined $1,000,000, guilty of 100 violations of the U.S., Export Administration Regulations, and paid a civil penalty of $10,000 per violation, but no criminal charge!

In most States of Australia, fluoride emissions from factories, aluminium smelters, brick and tile works, steel and other metal smelters, petrochemical factories and many others are recorded as causing serious problems.

In most cases the community fight has not only been against the polluter, but the relative Government, Federal, State or Local (Councils) where fluoride is the protected pollutant. That history has been published for many years in The Australian Fluoridation News.

The dental industry is in reality ambivalent, depending on its commercial angle, its scientific standing, and indeed its income from particular directions.

The latest dental news is the creation of a new toothbrush, obviously "to stop tooth decay". The fluoride toothpaste company Oral-B advise they have spent $110,000,000 in developing their new toothbrush that removes, they say, "significantly more plaque ..." but fluoride in toothpaste and public drinking water supplies stops plaque, as told by the original promoters in our Parliaments.

With all the 50 years of fluoride propaganda, University teaching, medical organisations, Parliaments and unlimited wealth of fluoride product producers, collectively they cannot control the daily dose of fluoride for any one person, so a fluoride dose is Russian Roulette!

The final word of expert opinion on fluoridation is made by Mr Rob Knowles, Minister of Health, Victorian Parliament, when on 7th November, 1996 he wrote:

"The 1991 N.H. and M.R.C. Report on the Effectiveness of Fluoridation is still considered to be the definitive document on water fluoridation in Australia." (Definitive - decisive, final).

A staunch advocate of fluoridation, Dr Fanning, Adelaide University, advising on "correct dose" stated:

"When fluoride is taken in tablet form by the mother in one daily dose, not all this fluoride passes into the breast milk, and the breast fed child, too, must receive a daily fluoride supplement. The best way is to dissolve a quarter tablet in a spoonful of water and place this directly in the child's mouth."

Advising on "dose" Dr Fanning stated, either fluoridated water or tablet supplement, "will provide the correct amount of fluoride to prevent tooth decay."

That is dental authority, but truly unscientific.

Fluoridation is "the dream of dreamers, scheme of schemers," and the most unscientific human project ever hoisted on people, against their wish, and indeed against the principles of society and medicine, so simple to understand except those with "wide shut eyes".

Fluoridation is fraught with danger, danger to those forced into ingesting the poison fluoride chemical every day of their life, and fraught with danger to those opposing the mighty fluoride industry, made up of the seen and mostly unseen controllers, living off the chemical and medical myth.
