Fluoride is present in your toothpaste and could be in your tap water.. Is it good or dangerous?

Fluoride is present in your toothpaste and could be in your tap water.. Is it good or dangerous?
98% Of Western Europe has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This
includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and
Sweden. But not the UK!!!

The fluoride added to drinking water is man-made. It is
called hydrofluoric acid which is a compound of fluorine
that is a chemical by-product of aluminium, steel, cement,
phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. It is one of
the most caustics of industrial chemicals. Fluoride is the
active toxin in rat poisons and cockroach powder.

Hydrofluoric acid is used to refine high octane gasoline,
to make fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons for freezers
and air conditioners, and to manufacture computer screens,
fluorescent light bulbs, semiconductors, plastics,
herbicides and … toothpaste.

Fluoride changes the shape of the enzymes so that they no
longer fit. Since enzymes are proteins, once they've been
changed, they're now foreign-looking. The body now treats
them as invaders, even though they're part of that body.
This is known as an autoimmune situation - the body attacks
itself and all systems in the body are damaged and we age
much quicker.

It also has the ability to burn flesh to the bone, destroy
eyes, and sear lungs so that victims drown in their own
body fluid.”

The most thorough explanation of the origin, action,
diseases, and politics of fluoride were presented after 25
years research in a book called Fluoride the Ageing Factor
by John Yiamouyiannis, Ph.D. (Science director of the
National Health Federation and eventually head the Safe
Water Foundation).

In his book, he uncovers the facts about fluoride:

* Taylor Study, University of Austin: fluoride
concentration of 1 PPM (parts per million) increases tumour
growth rate by 25% (this is the concentration used in the
USA).

* Fluoride is more poisonous than lead, and just less
poisonous than arsenic - Clinical Toxicology of Commercial
Products 1984

* “A seven ounce tube of toothpaste, theoretically at
least, contains enough fluoride to kill a small
child.” - Procter & Gamble, quoted in Fluoride the
Ageing Factor.

* Fluoride supplements should not be given to children
under three years old - 1992 Canadian Dental Association
Proposed Fluoride Guidelines, Dr. Limeback

* Fluoride accelerates your ageing process

* Fluoride mineralises the tendons, muscles and ligaments,
making them crackly and painful and inflexible. At the same
time fluoride interferes with mineralisation of bones and
teeth, causing osteoporosis and mottling or dental
fluorosis.

The process whereby teeth are discoloured and crumble from
fluoridation is known as dental fluorosis. The US Public
Health service has known since the research of its own Dr.
HT Dean in 1937 that as fluoride levels rose, so did the
percentage of children with dental fluorosis, in a study of
15 major American cities.

The FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) requires all
toothpaste manufacturers to print a warning on the label
that if more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is
swallowed, the local Poison Control Centre should be
notified.

The American Dental Association and other defenders of
fluoride have testified and continue to insist that dental
fluorosis is a “cosmetic condition” and is not
a health issue!

DR. Yiamouyiannis cites the 1990 study of 541,000 cases of
osteoporosis that found a definite connection between hip
fractures in women over 65 and fluoride levels. The study
was written up in JAMA (Journal of American Medicine
Association). Several other major studies are cited,
massive amounts of research, again all reaching the same
conclusion -

Fluoride also causes osteoporosis by creating a calcium
deficiency situation. Fluoride precipitates calcium out of
solution, causing low blood calcium, as well as the
build-up of calcium stones and crystals in the joints and
organs.

Dozens of other studies, like the Riggs study in the 1990
New England Journal of Medicine, showed that fluoride
treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly actually increases
skeletal fragility, i.e., more fractures. It's the same
mechanism at work: incorrect mineralisation, as we saw
above. Thin old bones lose calcium; young bones age too
rapidly by over-mineralisation.

Austrian and Japanese researchers both found that a
concentration of 1 PPM fluoride causes disruption of the
body’s ability to repair its own DNA. Without this
most basic cell function, cancer is promoted, and tumour
growth is accelerated.

The unmistakable fact is that for the years 1940-1950, when
none of 20 cities studied fluoridated, the average cancer
deaths were virtually identical. But after 1950, there is a
major increase in cancer deaths in every single one of the
fluoridated cities, while the non-fluoridated cities remain
clustered together at a much lower level of death.

A number was actually put on it:

“…30,000 to 50,000 deaths each year from
various causes may now be attributable to fluoridation.
This total includes 10,000 to 20,000 deaths attributable to
fluoride-induced cancer every year.”

The dental community concedes that fluoride is ineffective
at preventing the most common type of dental decay - pit &
fissures. Pit & fissure decay - which is the decay found in
the crevices of the chewing surfaces - accounts for upwards
of 85% of dental decay now experienced in the US.

New evidence suggests that fluoridation is either
unnecessary or doesn't work. Cavities have declined at
similarly impressive rates throughout the entire western,
industrialised world over the past half-century.

This decline has occurred irrespective of a country’s
fluoridation status. Western Europe, which is less
fluoridated than the US, has experienced the SAME decline
in cavities as the heavily fluoridated US, and today enjoys
the SAME low level of tooth decay.

Five peer-reviewed studies published in the last 2 years
have found that dental decay DOES NOT increase when
communities stop fluoridation.

High levels of naturally occurring fluoride causes a
crippling bone disease known as skeletal fluorosis.

According to UNICEF, skeletal fluorosis is endemic
“in at least 25 countries across the globe”
with the problem particularly acute in India, China and
other developing countries.

Skeletal fluorosis comes in varying degrees of severity
depending on the level of exposure. The earliest symptoms
are characterised by joint pain that is difficult, if not
impossible, to distinguish from arthritis.

Fluoride stimulates abnormal bone development. Clinical
trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine and
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research report that high dose
fluoride treatment increases bone mass but that the newly
formed bone is “structurally unsound”. Thus,
instead of reducing hip fracture, the studies found that
high doses of fluoride increase hip fracture.

If your local authority has allowed the use of fluoride,
your only options are:

1- Only drink bottled water or use a powerful filter that
will exclude fluoride (not a small table top filter)

2- Do not cook using tap water

3- Do not take long bath

And remember to change your toothpaste if it contains
fluoride.
