Fluoride - A CHEMICAL WEAPON?

May 7, 2003

I've been warning about the dangers of Fluoride for our water supply for 30 years or more. Here's an article from my favorite MD, William Campbell Douglas.

The tinseltown fluoride fiasco I've been sounding the alarm about the dangers of fluoride in our public water for nigh on 30 years, but has anyone heard? Nope. The power of the dental lobby and the big fluoride-producing industries (like Alcoa, Grumman, and other aluminum makers) has drowned out like-minded protesters and me like mice swept down the storm drain in a fluoridated flash flood... And I can't really blame them. Because if more people knew how dangerous the fluoride our government pumps into our water supply really is, there'd be open revolt in the streets. Really, it's THAT BAD.For instance, did you know that fluoride was for years classified as a toxic waste in this country? Yep. Did you know that at one time not too long ago, it's only approved uses were as an insecticide and a RAT POISON? True. Oh, and here's another interesting bit of trivia: One of the first major studies "proving" a correlation between fluoridated water and fewer cavities was actually funded by the aluminum industry! So much for completely objective research... Here's the real irony, though: Fluoride may not even be good for your teeth!In one of the biggest studies ever undertaken on the subject (using data from 39,000 school children in 84 metropolitan areas around the U.S.), there was no statistically significant difference in rates of tooth decay between fluoridated and non-fluoridated water supplies. That's right: fluoride doesn't prevent cavities. But it can prevent some other things - like a long, healthy life. I've seen evidence linking cancer, osteoporosis, and even Alzheimer's disease to fluoride ingestion...Which is why it's so ironic that the most health-conscious state in the union (and the one most typically associated with stringent views on pollution and toxic waste), California, is about to release this deadly poison into 18 million homes in 26 cities via the kitchen and bathroom faucets...Yep. Within the next two years, fluoride will be flowing from LA to Mexico. And here I thought we were all becoming a little too obsessed with the possibility of chemical contamination in our water supplies since September 11. What's my advice? Stop your enemy water department at the entrance to your house. Buy a filter system that will remove fluorine from your life. Or, if feasible, dig you own well and tell the engineers and bureaucrats at the water commissariat you're free of them - and better off because of it.
