THE BASIS OF FLUORIDATION "SCIENCE"

By Glen S. R. Walker

Nothing in this world of science, pharmacology, even commonsense, politics and honest science, including dentistry, has been promoted and established on such erroneous principles as compulsory fluoridation.

To counter actual health warnings concerning chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water supplies, fluoride lobby specialists have "invented" cunning catch-phrases to mislead the public into believing fluorides are a "nutrient", a benign safe chemical found naturally in water, soil, rocks.

In a study of official literature such as the US Federal Register 1975 we find a proper scientific medical description contrary to the fluoridation lobby: "Fluoride is explicitly designated by the Food and Drug Administration as 'not generally recognised as safe'." (p. 23248)

Spin doctors are the source of today's drug information, such as given to State Parliaments for promotion of compulsory artificial Fluoridation Acts that force daily fluoride drugging in every home.

What are the FACTS?

The Child Dental Health Survey Australia of 1999 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare published their report showing there is a 22% increase in cavities in Australian 5-year-olds. The report also stated in a survey of 372,000 children an increase in the amount of decaying and missing teeth in 5-15 year olds.

The West Australian newspaper reported the following statement by Don Wilson, Chairman of the Australian Dental Association: "Many parents had been lulled into a false sense of security about the protection of fluoridated water."

The bible of medicines and drugs is Merck's Manual. In the 1999 edition they describe fluorides as "Rat Poison, Roach Poison," exactly as your fluoride pushers want to force you to drink every day. It is called democracy, drugging every person 24 hours each day in their own home!

Mothers should be warned that baby formula food made with fluoridated water produces a toxic dose of fluoride, at least an overdose of 400%, but there's been no research into the effect of poisoning Australian babies with fluoride chemicals.

It is important for all people to understand world medical authorities agree that 50% of ingested fluoride is retained in the body, but qualify that the 50% relates to those with 100% kidney function.

As the kidney function decreases so the percentage of retained fluoride increases, and year by year it's stored in bone and tissue making fluoridation a creeping health problem.

Stored fluoride in humans is not recognised by doctors and no attempt is made even in hospitals to analyse patients' blood for fluoride.

In 1949 the Nuremberg Court in their International Code stated relative w compulsory medication: "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential." The laws of medicine in Australia follow the Nuremberg Code: "No person may be medicated against their will." However, compulsory fluoridation flouts this law!

Raise your objection about becoming a human walking waste disposal unit for fertiliser factory waste!

Without any doubt, the most serious medical, dental, pharmacological, political and scientific danger of fluoridation, is the following.

The fluoride chemicals used in Australia for the fluoridation of drinking water supplies are Sodium-silicofluoride or Hydroflurosilicic Acid, both of which are classified as crude, unrefined toxic chemicals, not pure chemicals.

These chemicals are by-product pollutants of superphosphate production, collected in the exhaust chimneys of fertiliser factories because they are so toxic they must be removed from superphosphate and are not permitted to be exhausted into the atmosphere.

Why are these fluoride chemicals removed from superphosphate? If left in the "Super", the fluoride would kill pastures, animals and could eventually kill the former. These fluoride chemicals are prohibited worldwide from dumping into oceans, lakes, rivers and even landfills.

With the compliments of your representative in Parliament, this toxic material is permitted to be dumped into your drinking water supplies. The Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Australian Dental Association (ADA) support these actions on your behalf.

Firstly, there is no scientific evidence published in world medical literature showing proof of safety to humans. Next, these chemicals are not registered or licensed for safe human use in fluoridated water. The US Food and Drug Administration and the US Environmental Protection Agency have stated this on the floor of the US Senate.

The Australian watchdog on your behalf, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), responsible for licensing such chemicals for fluoridation, admit they have no scientific evidence on safety for humans, nor any experience relating to their use (correspondence direct from TGA dated 16th April, 2004).

It is important that people understand the way dentists and doctors keep using the World Health Organisation (WHO) as an endorsement that fluoridation is safe. 

In the WHO book Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans they state these fluoride chemicals, Sodium-silicofluoride and Hydroflurosilicie Acid, are "an insecticide, bactericide, a rodenticide (rat poison), to worm pigs, insecticide for lawns and shrubs, carpeting, woollen fabrics..."

And the doctors and dentists tell you it Is safe!

The Tasmanian Government attempted to pass a Bill to "Prohibit public meetings on fluoridation." Tasmanian people were saved this nonsense when the Upper House rejected the Bill.

Fear rules in the fluoride lobby section of Parliament. In November 1993 the Victorian Government unanimously passed a Bill to change the Victorian Constitution which now reads: "The Supreme Court of Victoria is prohibited from entertaining cases against fluoridation."

It is not only undemocratic, unconstitutional, but illustrates the manner in which fluoridation is promoted by the very people you voted into Parliament to represent the community in an honest and democratic manner. Did your political representative ask your opinion on this matter of changing the Victorian Constitution to protect fluoridation?

Why all the panic and fear by politicians? Does it really mean "they" do not have any scientific evidence to protect their false claims of fluoridation safety and effectiveness?

Perhaps the whole fluoridation myth was about to collapse, which would be a dreadful embarrassment to the government, AMA, ADA, and all Health Departments, culminating in legal action supported by the Australian Constitution that states:

"Legislative powers of the Parliament, Section 50, (xxiiiA), The provision of... medical and dental services, but not so as to authorise any form of civil conscription."

Compulsory fluoridation is civil conscription contrary to all medical and constitutional laws, human rights, United Nations principles, and the international laws of the Nuremberg Court, where experimenters on humans were hung.

Compulsory medication is against our laws, even the High Court has decreed that no doctor can force medication onto any person against their wish. So why is compulsory fluoridation, which is medication, exempted through our Parliaments, considering there is not one iota of scientific evidence in the world that proves fluoride chemicals in water are safe?

Laws of pharmacology demand proof of medicine and drug dose, but those in authority including the various organisations, doctors and politicians do not know the fluoride dose of any one person because the dose is controlled by each person's thirst which differs enormously.

That is the centre of fluoridation medical science. The ego of Australian politicians, doctors, dentists and Health Department heads is so great they surprise real scientists on just simple matters of commonsense.

They exhibit an extraordinary disinterest in the advanced countries of Europe that do not fluoridate their drinking water supplies, and totally disregard the widely available and publicised scientific reasons for not doing so. 

Just imagine - no fluoridation in Europe, but Australia's scientific minnows consider themselves superior!

Conclusion

The Australian Dental Association's literature on dental decay and fluoridation without exception claims fluoridation stops tooth decay, gives great benefits to young and old, re-mineralises teeth (repairs decayed holes) and is classified as one of the greatest discoveries of the century.

Well, the Herald Sun, 30 September, 2004, published a message from the President of the Australian Dental Association, Suzanne Hanlin, in which she states: "The major parties need to urgently address the oral health crisis and start appreciating that oral and dental health are part of overall health."

What has happened to all the mythical guarantees that once fluoride is put in the water supply there will be no more dental decay and few dentists?

Now the truth is slowly surfacing, clearing away the fluoride mythical fantasy and its whimsical speculations, showing the rort of the fluoride spin-doctors.
