    Are You Fluoridated?
    Posted on: Wednesday, October 28th 2015

    It's time we look at the fact that we are being dosed with a chemical, in an unmonitored and unstudied way, without our consent.

    What if I told you that your drinking water, and everything made from it – drinks to soups – was poisoned? What if I then told you that this poison was being presented as a health-giving intervention, presumed to be in your best interest? You might wonder how such a reality could have ever taken hold.


    Are You Fluoridated?


    The sordid history of fluoridation reads like a sci-fi novel, now, being brought to the attention of the masses by efforts such as this documentary short entitled Our Daily Dose. Spend 20 minutes taking this in:

    Fluoride is out of an era when

    "...valium was prescribed to housewives, feet were x rayed for shoe size, cigarettes were harmless, and nuclear testing was exciting to watch. We knew less and understood the world differently."

    Despite superficial claims to aid in tooth decay prevention, internal documents reveal that fluoride was a fertilizer industry byproduct that found a home in municipal water "treatment". Not dissimilar to the crediting of vaccination with decline in infectious disease, decline in tooth decay until 2010, has been attributed to fluoridation of the water supply, however, has been mirrored in countries with unfluoridated water. What it does result in, however, is dental fluorosis, a tell-tail sign of toxicity.

    With public policy lagging behind emerging science by decades, safe fluoride ingestion amounts have decreased by 40% since 1962 (from 1.6ppb to 0.7) with no apologies for former claims of safety over those 40 years. Concerningly, longitudinal data implicates fluoride's effects on brain function as measured by IQ. Perhaps this is an unintended consequence? Perhaps it has served as a fringe benefit to keep the populace subdued in this way? Graham Hancock might agree.

    Then there is the emergence of data implicating fluoride, a halogen, in endocrine disrupting effects on thyroid which is undoubtedly related to the 23 million Americans on Synthroid, and data from the BMJ demonstrating that fluoridated water doubles the risk of hypothyroidism.


    It's time we look at the fact that we are being dosed with a chemical, in an unmonitored and unstudied way, without our consent.



    We used to think that the dose made the poison. Now we understand that the picture of risk is far more nuanced, and better encompassed by concepts like the "cocktail effect". This chemical isn't prescribed based on weight, nor has any safe level truly been established by anything other than administrative handwaving. Today, babies fed formula made with tap water can ingest up to 100% greater doses than is deemed "acceptable". Fluoride also crosses the placenta and is dosed to your growing fetus as part of a soup of environmental toxicants. Haven't our babies and children been subjected to enough population-level experimentation?

    While it is likely that policy will be forced to submit to the growing wave of science implicating fluoride as a brain and body poison without a known biochemical profile in any given individual's physiology, what to do in the meantime?

    Watch: New documentary film exposes water fluoridation as 'Poison on Tap'

    Watch: New documentary film exposes water fluoridation as 'Poison on Tap'
    Monday, November 16, 2015 by: Julie Wilson staff writer


    (NaturalNews) A new documentary exposing the ugly truth behind the phosphate fertilizer industry will soon be available on DVD. The film, titled Fluoride: Poison on Tap, features testimony from dozens of professionals who are extremely knowledgeable about the harmful effects of fluoride, including Natural News Editor Mike Adams, health and wellness expert Dr. Edward Group and preventive dentist David Kennedy.

    The film dives into the filthy processes of the phosphate fertilizer industry, which provides municipalities across the U.S. with fluoride, or hydrofluorosilicic acid rather, a hazardous waste byproduct of the commercial fertilizer industry.

    As the film's official trailer describes, fluoride is not naturally occurring as its proponents will have you believe, but rather a cocktail of hundreds of radioactive and cancer-causing chemicals that are laced with heavy metals and other harmful toxins.

    Documentary unearths the toxicity of fluoride


    While in the finalization process, the film's production is accepting donations in order to complete the project, which will expose the dangers behind water fluoridation.

    The film is expected to serve as a major tool for educating the public about fluoride and could even be shown to city councils across the U.S. as an instrument to visibly portray the pollution and destruction caused by the phosphate fertilizer industry, waking people up to that fact that hydrofluorosilicic acid is a toxicant and does not belong in the water supply. You may help the cause by donating here.

    Fluoride proponents insist that ingesting the chemical protects teeth from tooth decay; however, no randomized clinical trials have ever been completed that proves ingesting fluoride has any positive health effects.

    Instead, what continues to emerge is research highlighting a multitude of health problems associated with water fluoridation, including lower IQs in children, neurotoxicity, dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, arthritis, gastrointestinal distress and hypothyroidism, which induce symptoms of depression, fatigue and weight gain.

    Humans are not only exposed to fluoride through tap water, but via cereals, soda, juice, beer and any other processed food that is doused with fluoridated water by manufacturers.

    Fluoride pollution and the phosphate fertilizer industry


    The industry utilizes "wet scrubbers" to capture fluoride gases produced by phosphate fertilizer plants, before being barreled up and sold, unrefined, to communities across the U.S., reports Fluoridealert.org.

    Prior to the development of sophisticated air-pollution-control technology, fluoride gases would often escape into the air, torching anything unfortunate enough to be in its path, including plants, trees and crops and animals such as cattle.

    The consequences of the phosphate fertilizer industry are deadly and are seen in the case of Dunnville, a small agricultural town in Southern Ontario.

    A transcript of a 1967 CBC broadcast describes the destruction:

    Farmers noticed it first.... Something mysterious burned the peppers, burned the fruit, dwarfed and shriveled the grains, damaged everything that grew. Something in the air destroyed the crops. Anyone could see it. ... They noticed it first in 1961. Again in '62. Worse each year. Plants that didn't burn, were dwarfed. Grain yields cut in half. ... Finally, a greater disaster revealed the source of the trouble. A plume from a silver stack, once the symbol of Dunnville's progress, spreading for miles around poison – fluorine. It was identified by veterinarians. There was no doubt. What happened to the cattle was unmistakable, and it broke the farmer's hearts.

    Fluorosis – swollen joints, falling teeth, pain until cattle lie down and die. Hundreds of them. The cause – fluorine poisoning from the air.

    The health and environmental effects of fluoride are undeniable. The more they are exposed, the better chance we have of eliminating it from our water supply. If you're unable to donate to the film, you can help the movement by spreading awareness about the dangers of this toxic pollutant.

    Remember, information is power, and we can make a difference.

      Most bottled waters lack fluoride, but fluoridated bottled water is now available. ... If fluoride concentration is greater than 0.6 ppm (parts per million), you might see the health claim "Drinking fluoridated water may reduce the risk of tooth decay" on the label.
