Friends,

Please take time to watch this 30-minute interview on the history of fluoride use and the addition of fluoride to municipal water supplies. It is not as dull as it sounds and I am convinced that none who watches this (and/or does more investigation) will want to use public water to which fluoride has been added.

In addition to water, fluoride-containing products include most commercial toothpaste and dental fluoride products, but it also appears in many, many everyday products, such as sodas or beverages made with fluoridated water -- most of them; anit-allergy and other prescription drugs such as antidepressants and allergy medicine(e.g., Prozac -- generic name fluoroxetine -- and Flonase) and many Antibiotics ; tea -- both regular and instant (the British are notorious for “bad teeth” and likely have a high instance of fluoridosis, or discolored and brittle teeth, due to high tea consumption --

); non-organic wine and beer; foods sprayed with cryolite, a fluoride-based pesticide -- potatoes are a big culprit; and vegetables grown next to industries -- spinach and celery, for instance; cereals -- Fruit Loops, Wheaties, for instance. Drinking spring or distilled water is a way to prevent too much fluroide, and dietary calcium and magnesium supplements can help, too. (From
http://www.fluoridealert.org/f-sources.htm#I.)
I saw a product at the grocery store recently that was “nursery water” – distilled water to which fluoride has been added. Frightening, as even the APA recently recommended against using fluoride for formula mixing for babies.

The ideas presented in the download will directly contradict what we have been told since childhood by doctors, dentists, and parents. But there is a lot of hard Science that proves that fluoride, in amounts currently received in municipal drinking water alone, is a potent neurotoxin -- particularly for children. Furthermore, ingestion -- rather than topical application -- of fluoride does not prevent dental caries as was previously thought. However, fluoride is stored in not only teeth but bones -- fluoride accretion has been linked conclusively to brittle bones/osteoporosis (as well as lowered IQ among children, among a plethora of other neurotoxic effects in addition to the physical ones).

For more information, research findings, and exhaustive documentation of source studies, please look around the Fluoride Action website, which includes the following, footnoted "10 Facts About Fluoride":

I am sure many of you are thinking, "Iodine, now fluoride...here she goes again!" Well, yes -- but I do believe that this is really, really important and that those of you on this list represent the group of my friends who will actually be receptive and openminded to such information -- so forgive me in advance for pushing my anti-fluoride agenda on you. I have spent more than 30 hours in the last month reading through primary resource research material and am happy to find and forward that to you, or answer specific questions, but this interview and the website were the best places I thought one might begin to look around the abundance of fluoride information available.

More than 95% of Western European countries forbid water fluoridation. (Some consider water fluoridation to be in violation of the Nuremberg Code, which established guidelines for medical experimentation in response to the inhumane and infamous Nazi experiments -- regarding consent of subjects, for starters.)

To find out whether your town or county is fluoridated, the following link provides a fairly comprehensive list --

. Your city or county website will provide information, too. I'm hopeful that those of you who look into this further and whose communities fluoridate water will consider presenting information to your town councils on reasons to stop fluoridation -- many communities in the past several years, in the wake of this information coming to light, have terminated water fluoridation. (I will gather information for such a presentation here in Henrico County, Va, where we live, so contact me if you are interested in receiving duplicates of those materials for your own town or county. In my opinion, it is outrageous that we are paying to subsidize the phosphate industry to dispose of its harmful industrial waste by putting it into water used for consumption.)

Again, I hope this is not offensive and completely unwelcome. The reporter in me finds it important, but more important, so does the friend.

Love,

Laura
