We may soon be free of artificial water fluoridation.
New legal research may force the closure of all
fluoridation dosing plants in Australia.
As in Israel – $4 billion class action.
Very few nations still fluoridate
their drinking water.
Fluoridation:
“Weighed In The Balances And Found Wanting”
~ SOME CONFOUNDING VARIABLES IN ‘CONTROLLED TRIALS’ ~
.
Not Comprehensive
(Several hundred research papers on fluoridation are published every year.)
1.) Many householders in fluoridated areas have made other arrangements for clean fluoride free drinking water, and therefore need to be excluded from fluoridation trials:
(From ABS 2013 data, – 9.9% of Aussies use rainwater harvesting and 6.5% use bottled water as their main source of drinking water. But 32.4% of Aussies have water filters, and about one quarter of these may be fluoride filters – Reverse Osmosis.) ♦ See below.
~
2.) Rodents are much used as laboratory animals, they manufacture their own Vitamin ‘C’, which means they need larger doses of fluoride (or other chemicals) to damage or kill them. Unlike us humans who must obtain Vitamin ‘C’ from our diets. (Most humans are deficient in ‘C’ which is aggravated by fluoride exposure.) Guinea pigs are therefor better for biomedical research. They may be more expensive to keep, but like us humans they cannot produce Vitamin ‘C’ and need it supplied in their diet.
If we must use animals for experiments, guinea pigs are therefor a better choice, and will provide more accurate results.
Tadpoles, ↔ Zebra fish and Daphnia magna are also very sensitive to fluorides.
The common marmoset ‹◊› – a small monkey, Callithrix jacchus, is also used because it does not manufacture Vit. C.
‹◊› Among monkeys, marmosets are known for their cooperative and social behaviour.
~
3.) Residents moving between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas before and during trials need to be identified and excluded, e.g. staff on military bases, itinerant workers and long distant truck drivers.
Fluoride damage for some people can take time, often many years. However some humans are very sensitive and will react to fluoridation in days. (Fluorosis of teeth will only be visible if fluorides are present at the time of teeth formation.) Fluoride delays the eruption of teeth in humans and animals creating more statistical confusion. – Many towns and in Queensland are NOT fluoridated. Fluoride makes teeth brittle and therefore more inclined to breakage especially latter in life.
~
4.) Workers moving between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas on workdays also need to be identified and excluded from trials. – Some may take flasks to work; others may buy drinks at work.
~
5.) Food and drink, commercial and domestic, moving between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas will interfere with results. This will mostly be soft drinks, beer, bottled water, (more plastic bottles) – some imported from overseas, and wine. (Grapes are often sprayed with cryolite, a fluoride containing agricultural spray.)
See → Food Standards Aust. & NZ.
~
6.) Uneven distribution of fluoridated water throughout city water mains. – Water engineers have raised this issue from the first proposal to add fluoride to drinking water. The inability to control individual doses renders the notion of an ‘optimum concentration‘ and ‘dose’ an impossible target and therefore a scientific and medical nonsense. Not all fluoride ‘dosing’ equipment is operational full time, some ‘under dose’ or are quietly closed down – for long periods, especially some smaller dosing plants. Brisbane was without fluoridation for many months during 2018. This makes a mockery of “scientific trials”. (We are happy for these shutdowns and we are working towards a permanent shut down – a fluoride free future for Queensland.)
~
7.) The unrecognized difference between natural and artificial fluorides. – Calcium fluoride occurs naturally, [it has be found on Mars], it is a problem as evidenced in many parts of the world, but calcium and magnesium act as a buffers and render Calcium fluoride less injurious – but not harmless.
~
8.) People living at the end of a dead end streets: No explanation seems to exist, but readings especially after low or non-use periods (night time) have high/er readings of fluoride at first use.
~
9.) Different dietary habits and nutrient status of residents: Body weight, infant formulae mixed with fluoridated water, rather than breast milk for babies, are yet more complications. Fluoride-pregnant women! (Drinking using a straw = less contact with tooth enamel.)
~
10.) Climate, weather, geographic latitude and elevation cause personal water consumption variations.
– Medicine by thirst is unscientific.
~
11.) Heavy manual labour resulting in higher water consumption, can be yet another variation. The NHMRC in 1954 was deeply concerned over sugar cane cutters (Queensland) because of their high water and tea consumption, (Tea is high in F.) In Australian underground mines: There have been a number of studies that the NHMRC and FSANZ are desperate to avoid. “The average fluid consumption per shift was 6.48 litres (over this mix of different shift lengths) with a standard deviation of 2.41 liters and range of 2.40 to 12.50 litres”.

14.) Pets need clean water too! Dogs receive extra fluoride doses in some flea treatments:
‘FRONTLINE’ contains Fipronil Fluoride → ‘Hidden Dangers In Your Dog’s Water’
5-amino-3-cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-fluoromethylsulfinyl pyrazole]
(It seems strange that we the public are asking for the government NOT to spend money on fluoridation – and we are ignored, so who are they pleasing by doing so, what is the real motivation, we know it does not prevent tooth decay, so no honest dentist is driving this!)
~
15.) Fluorides are corrosive and will damage new or old, lead, concrete, cast iron, copper, stainless steel, asbestos and mixed lines. New concrete lined pipes absorb fluorides for some time, but then the concrete will erode. Lead pipes and solder joints will release lead in a fluoride environment, asbestos fibres are released into the water from thousands of kilometres of ‘fibro’ water pipes in Australian cities (1926 – 1986). [Not healthy for your intestinal tract – increase the risk of developing benign intestinal polyps.] The asbestos-cement mixture that drinking water pipes are made from releases asbestos fibres when subjected to vibration as well as to the friction flow of water and the corrosive action of fluorides and chlorine. This laundry water will release asbestos into household air especially if a dryer is used… Mesothelioma Centre, report 10,000 people have died from the disease since the early 1980s. See also → (a), (b).
~
16.) Fluoride pollution from power stations, industry, vehicles, geysers and occasionally volcanoes:
Air pollution – fluoride releases from industry: Anthropogenic sources of atmospheric fluoride can result from coal combustion by electrical utilities and other industries. Releases can also occur from refineries and metal ore smelters, aluminium production plants (cryolite workers), phosphate fertilizer plants, chemical production facilities, steel mills, magnesium plants, and brick and structural clay manufacturers, as well as copper and nickel producers, phosphate ore processors, glass manufacturers, and ceramic manufacturers. ( All industrial chimneys should be fitted with scrubbers. to capture fluoride and other contaminants.) Much of modern $cience is not about our health or the environment it is about war, patents, politics and profit.
~
17.) Living near the ocean has the advantage of providing some iodine from the sea air, which will help overcome the reduced iodine effect that fluoridation creates.

19.) Other sources of fluorides: Tea, teflon, industrial pollution, toothpaste, dental treatments, agricultural chemicals, fluorinated pharmaceuticals. [including diammine silver fluoride] → More ←
~
20.) Problems with fluorides for animals, people and plants are so many and varied that most of them go undiagnosed, and are often not mentioned in surveys, and many of the sources of fluorides are not recognised, including accidents. ↔ Zinc & Fluorides. “…But technically speaking, the tadpoles didn’t die of “mercury poisoning” or “cadmium poisoning,” or “hydrofluoric acid” poisoning. They died because the chemicals ‘wrecked’ their immune systems leaving the tadpoles vulnerable to all the germs and parasites in their environment…“ This explains why fluoride pollution is involved in so many illnesses.
~
21.) Fluorides are absorbed through the skin when washing and showering. “The failure to account for inhalation, mucosal and dermal exposures to fluorides is a most significant flaw in fluoride research. It invalidates all dosage conclusions based solely on ingestion through tap water.” [If fluorides can not be absorbed through human skin, how can we expect them to penetrate tooth enamel? – Many medications are applied to the skin, including nicotine patches! ]
~
22.) Letter – Philip Heggen-Safe Drinking Water Act
~
23.) ” Insidious effects that can occur on musculoskeletal, neurologic, reproductive, and endocrine systems from long-term ingestion of fluoride in water and the cardiovascular effects emphasize the seriousness of fluoridation especially in soft water regions lacking the antidotes (buffers) calcium and magnesium. ” Even more disturbing than the myth about the “benefits” of having “optimally fluoridated water,” is the fact that the majority of physicians do not know to look for fluoride poisoning, or how to treat it…
Fluorides have numerous simultaneous inter-reactions with a range of enzymes, nutrients, hormones, nutritional deficiencies [See→ Here], other poisonous substances, endocrine disrupters, infections, heavy metals, medications and radio isotopes, so as to more than justify the term ‘Multiple Fluoride Inter-reaction Syndrome’.
~
24.) Deliberately subjecting people to tobacco smoke against their will, is socially unacceptable, and amongst sane members of society, deliberately subjecting people to fluoride pollution/medication, – [1] [2] [3] via drinking water is also socially, legally and ethically unacceptable.
~
25.) It is hard to repair teeth made brittle by fluoridation.
~
26.) The two groups of per-fluorinated compounds, fluoride based, (PFCs), the per-fluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) and the per-fluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) have raised alarm bells on a global scale. In particular, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have been shown to be toxic and very persistent, posing a global contamination problem. – Fluorides in any form or quantity are environmental toxins, in water, air, food and medicines. All governments have a responsibility to deal with these health hazards urgently. We need public announcements, and action- not closed enquiries and cover-ups.

31.) The lethal dose of NaF (the artificial fluoride) is 50 times smaller than that of CaF2 (the naturally-occurring fluoride) – Dr. Hardy Limeback, Biochemist and Professor of Dentistry, University of Toronto, former consultant to the Canadian Dental Association.

32.) Queensland Government – Code of Practice:
BREACH OF VERSION 1.2 – SEPTEMBER 2013.
“… If elimination is not possible, hazards should be controlled using substitution, isolation or engineered control methods…” [Dosing plant shutdown].
~
33.) It is not that science showing the hazards fluorides are difficult to find. We do not believe the promoters of fluoridation are unintelligent, but after so many years of their ‘research’, we are left with the only explanation that water fluoridation is a huge cover-up and its promoters are either misled, uninformed, or willing to go along with official prevarication. We believe that the scandal of the PFAS chemicals will be the final blow against the myth of fluoridation, as midnight on the first of January ‘2000 killed the myth of ‘The ‘Millennium Bug’ (Y2K).
~
34.) 40,000 kilometres of asbestos water mains in Australia are being damaged by agressive fluoridated water, – releasing asbestos fibres into the drinking water (A) (B) (C) – and clothes drying machines which release these asbestos fibres into domestic (air) – living space.
More people die each year from asbestos related diseases in Australia than die from road accidents.
More sources of fluoride exposure: PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, PFAS, PTFOS, PFOA, PFHxA and PFBS etc. (All the ‘Fs’. are for fluoride.) these contaminants only recently being acknowledged. ♦ ♦
Spiralling asbestos claims from the United States almost resulted in the collapse of the Lloyd’s of London insurance market in the 1990s. Are fluoridation and fluorinated fire fighting foams the next ‘asbestos’?
Much of $cience is not about our health or the environment but about patents, politics, and profits, – the usual priorities of industry.
♦ U.S. and Canadian studies found 25-33% of people are marginally deficient of vitamin C.
Up to 20% of some populations are severely deficient. College students, smokers, and older adults may be at higher risk of this deficiency. More disturbing unlike most mammals, humans have lost their ability to produce their own vitamin C.
According to Dr. Ronald Hunninghake (a world renowned vitamin C expert), every creature, when needed, can greatly increase production of vitamin C from their liver or kidneys except for humans, primates, fruit bats and guinea pigs. Dr. Hunninghake points out how we still have the gene that makes the L-gulonolactone oxidase enzyme that converts glucose to vitamin C… but the gene is non-functional.
(Now there is a project for some ethical laboratory.)

As can be seen by the list of 34 variables above, research into fluoridation,
in the field, the library, and the laboratory, requires much knowledge.
Many previous research outcomes have been compromised by
poor designs which have ignored some of the above.
Fluorides are extremely reactive variables,
dangerous, and in many ways
are a little unpredictable
and underreported.

Judy Mikovits – The discovery that destroyed her career
In 1945 the [US] government does a public test case of fluoridation, comparing fluoridated Grand Rapids with unfluoridated Muskegon, Michigan. The study is to last ten years. After one year, it becomes obvious to the government that fluorides do not conform to their public propaganda, and the study is terminated. The city of Muskegon is then fluoridated in 1947 to conceal the difference in effect. Other experiments are performed covertly on population areas, without the knowledge of the subjects.
Organizations that once endorsed fluoridation,
but no longer do include [USA]:
Centre for Science in the Public Interest
Consumers Union (Consumer Reports)
National Down Syndrome Congress
New York Academy of Medicine
National Kidney Foundation
American Cancer Society
It is very difficult to respect the Australian dental and medical
authorities, who after all the research into fluorides, still promote,
support, or do not speak out on the hazards of water fluoridation.
Most politicians are equally guilty by supporting the fluoride lies.
Poisoning children with fluoride is child abuse on a huge scale.
This may seam an extreme statement, but in the future
the truth of it will weigh heavily on those who
continue to support fluoridation.
