Sodium Fluoride - Toxic Waste - Health Hazard ?

 

 Phosphate Fertilizer Industry Toxic Waste To Be Added To Qld Water At Tugun Desalination Plant November 2008 

Mudgeeraba and Molindinar December 2008

After being captured in the scrubbers, the Sodium Fluoride  a classified hazardous waste, is barrelled up and sold, unrefined, to communities across the country. Communities add hydrofluorosilicic acid to their water supplies as the primary fluoride chemical for water fluoridation.

 

Even if you don't live in a community where fluoride is added to water, you'll still be getting a dose of it through cereal, softdrinks, juice, beer and any other processed food and drink manufactured with fluoridated water.

 

Meanwhile, if the phosphate industry has its way, it may soon be distributing another of its by-products to communities across the country.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, recipient of many prizes and awards, a former Senior Lecturer, Department of Psychological Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin, NZ, and Consultant Psychiatrist for the Otago District Health Board, 1978-2004. Readers of Fluoride know Dr Spittle mainly as co-editor (1994-98), now managing editor (since 1999) of Fluoride.

 

He has published several articles and editorials on the health effects of fluoride and was a peer reviewer for the University of York’s recent systematic review of public water fluoridation.1 The idea of writing a book on Fluoride Poisoning occurred to him at the 27th conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research at Beijing, China, 9-12 October 2007. For Dr Spittle to complete and publish this carefully documented book by December 2007 reveals how extraordinarily familiar he is with the literature on the health effects of fluoride.
 

 

                                                                                                                                                                      

 

 

                                              

 

 

 

  Dr. William Marcus EPA

"Fluoride is a Carcinogen and Corrosive Poison.   

  Experts are speaking out against fluoridation. Dr. William Marcus, an EPA senior science adviser and toxicologist stated in "Food and Water Journal," 1998, " Fluoride is a carcinogen by any stand we use. I believe EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects." Dr. Robert Carton, a scientist who spent 20 years working for the US Environmental Protection Agency said, "Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not all time." Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association said: "I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long- term basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."

Fluoride compounds are not biodegradable and are accumulative. No matter how little we are told is being added to our drinking water, fluoride will accumulate in our bones, teeth, in the environment and food chain when added to our drinking wate

Wide Range of Serious Health Problems Respected Medical Professionals and Scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health. For over 50 years, the U.S. government and media have trumpeted fluoride as a safe and effective means of reducing cavities, especially in children. But fluoride is not the benevolent and innocuous substance the public has been led to believe.

Robert Verkerk -  “Fluorides are extremely reactive molecules which have been shown to cause considerable harm in biological systems. They continue to be used by health authorities for a specific medicinal purpose, namely the treatment and prevention of dental caries, yet they have never been subjected to the full risk/benefit analysis which is required in order to bring other drugs to the market. Drinking water medicated with fluoride clearly amounts to government-sponsored use of an unlicenced drug. It is staggering that international bodies such as the United Nations’ Codex Alimentarius Commission could have overruled the substantial scientific concerns about fluoride in infant formula raised by several countries in November’s Codex meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand and that babies, the most vulnerable members of our society, are made the innocent victims” Dr Robert Verkerk, Executive Director of the Alliance for Natural Health

 

August 2002 - Belgium becomes the first country in the world to prohibit fluoride supplements Fluoride tablets, fluoride drops and fluoride chewing gum, for decades promoted as the crown jewels of dentistry, are going to be taken off the market because they are poisonous and pose a great risk for physical and psychological health. This has been decided by the Federal Minister of Public Health. more

 

Belgium becomes the first country in the world to prohibit fluoride supplements
In a report from 1999 UNICEF complained that certain governments knew insufficiently how poisonous fluoride is - especially for children, as their young organism absorbs more fluoride than an adults'. In the same year HUMO wrote a dossier about the dangers of fluoride (Humo Nr.17/33059, April 20, 1999). We got a lot of reaction at the time, particularly from dentists who, though undoubtedly with good faith, echoed the arguments of fluoride proponents.

But the usefulness of fluoride has been doubted worldwide for a long time already. Over the years at least 12 Nobel Prize winners in Medicine and Chemistry have warned of the associated health risks. To make children take fluoride is not only useless against caries, it is plainly dangerous. Tooth and bone decalcification as a result of fluoride even has a name - fluorosis. Fluoride is very reactive and it goes deep into the bones and cells where it is accumulated. Yes, the tooth surface becomes much harder, but the tooth itself becomes more brittle. From a lot of research it seems that fluoride causes joint problems, skeletal deformations, osteoporosis, and  that it can even cause bone cancer. Also the brain cannot escape from it. Fluoride has a negative influence on the nervous system and the immune system, and in children it can lead to (chronic) fatigue, a lower IQ, learning disabilities, lethargy and depression. more    Excerpt from The Fluoride Stop website and the Preventative Dental Health Association website)

"Fluoridation ... it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has."Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), Discoverer of streptomycin and Nobel Prize Winner

14th Nov 2005  - Most of Western Europe has now abandoned fluoridation of water due to a lack of evidence as to its effectiveness and concerns about major side-effects. 98% of Europe is now free of fluoridated water.

Brain Damage Imminent

 
Fluoride + Aluminium - Blood Brain Barrier - Chloramine - Iodoacids
 
Like mercury, fluoride isn't exactly an obvious choice for dental health as it is a poison more poisonous hand lead and only slightly less poisonous than arsenic (Clin Toxicol Commerc Prod, 1984; 11: 4, 112, 129, 138). It's been used as a pesticide, and it's a component in fungicides, rodenticides, anaesthetics and many drugs. The fluoride used in toothpaste, mouth rinses and dental gels is usually sodium fluoride, a waste product from the aluminium industry. Fluoride added to our water supply is hydrofluorosilic acid or sometimes silicofluoride waste products of fertiliser and glass industries.
.
The late US fluoride critic George L Waldbott discovered that, besides teeth and bones, fluoride can damage soft tissue. According to his research, the small fluorine ion with a high charge density can penetrate every cell of the body and combine with other ions (GL Waldbott et al, Fluoride: The Great Dilemma, Lawrence, Kansas: Corenado Press, 1978: 148-74). It interferes with the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus and the function of the parathyroid glands.
.
It has a strong affinity to calcium, but will also readily combine with magnesium and manganese ions and so can interfere with many enzyme systems that require these minerals. The interruption of these enzyme systems, in turn, may disturb carbohydrate metabolism, bone formation and muscle function. Indeed, every vital function in the body depends on enzymes; because fluoride easily reaches every organ, many diverse toxic symptoms can result.
 
 The most readily identifiable feature of soft tissue fluorosis is extraordinary general fatigue, which is frequently linked to thyroid deficiency. The thyroid gland requires iodine to produce the hormone thyroxine, which controls the rate of metabolism in the body. But when fluorine is present, iodine is displaced, which will cause a thyroid gland to stop working properly (K Roholm, Handbuch Experi-menteller Pharma-kologie, Ergaenzung-swerk, Vol 7, Berlin: Springer, 1938: 20).
 .

Fluoride increases the cellular uptake of lead and aluminum in the brain. It also breaks down the blood brain barrier making the brain more vulnerable to attack by parasites, fungi, bacteria and heavy metals.

 

Aluminum is added to water in the form of aluminum sulfate to precipitate out solid waste. The aluminum would normally break down into aluminum oxide and a weak sulfuric acid. However, when fluoride is added to water it becomes aluminum fluoride. This takes on a whole different picture. Because aluminum is drawn into the brain, it allows the fluoride to travel with it through the blood brain barrier. An Alzheimer's brain has 6-10 times the amount of aluminum deposits. Aluminum interferes the retrieval of memory.
