Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Tue, 6 May 2003 12:20:03 -0500 WC Douglass But not a drop to drink Daily Dose May 6, 2003 ************************************************************** 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. ************************************************************** One more lifesaver they'll probably never throw you... As you know if you've been a Real Health reader for any length of time, I'm a big believer in the power of LIGHT... I've even written a book called Into the Light on the technique called photoluminescence that uses ultraviolet light to treat everything from intestinal ulcers to cancer. But when I recommend something as simple as a daily dose of healthy sunlight to combat vitamin D deficiency (and the diseases associated with it) - and especially when I talk about photoluminescence - I feel like the lone voice in the wilderness... But the other day, a distant echo somehow found its way through the jungle of mainstream medicine which all but blocks out such light-based cures. So I craned my neck and cupped my ear, and heard this: There's " a new way " to use light in the fight against cancer. It's called PDT (photodynamic therapy), and according to several new reports, it can shrink and kill certain kinds of cancer tumors within hours - faster than any other method that doesn't involve a scalpel. One such report came from Japan's Aichi Medical University, and the results of the clinical trials of PDT there were astonishing. Using a non-toxic photosensitizing agent and a safe, non- invasive laser light, doctors treated 15 patients with pre- cancerous skin tumors... Just one hour post-treatment, biopsies taken from more than 70 percent of these tumors showed significant apoptosis (kind of like cell suicide). After three days, these same patients exhibited cellular necrosis (death) in all layers of their skin tumors. Well, yes, it seemed amazing when I first investigated it ten years ago (1993) and reported it in my book, Into the Light (available from www.rhinopublish.com). Keep in mind, although dazzling in its technology, this treatment is still " seek and destroy " medicine. Because you're only killing what you can see, not what is actually there, it's not a cure. But PDT is definitely a step forward. Maybe some day they will get their act together and treat the whole disease with photoluminescent therapy.
