Say no to Fluoride

Fluoride Accumulates in Pineal Gland

Fluoride, added to the water supply of many cities and counties and sold by WalMart in its nursery water, has a tendency to accumulate not only in developing teeth causing discoloration, and in bones making them brittle. The mineral is associated with cancer and it also accumulates in the pineal gland, an important hormone control center, where it wreaks considerable havoc. Paul Connett of Fluoride Action Network comments on Jennifer Luke's research which was part of her PhD thesis and had just been published in Caries Research under the title: Fluoride Deposition in the Aged Human Pineal Gland.

Fluoride is a poison, yet we add it to our water and toothpaste and even call it a supplement, although it has no nutritional value. Its medicinal value - the prevention of tooth decay - is the official explanation for adding the toxic mineral to the water supply. But that value is far outweighed by its toxic side effects - amply documented by Paul Connett in his Statement of Concern.

Recent European Union legislation on food supplements lists fluoride as an essential element to offer for supplementation. This is somewhat ironic when contrasted with the European legislators' feigned concern over the putative toxicity of vitamins and their efforts to limit dosages of these vital nutrients in order to "protect public health".

We also use fluoride in many household items, such as non-stick frying pans, high-tech water repellent fabrics and others. Recently, at least some timid attempts to start assessing the disease burden caused by fluoride are under way. The Journal of Water Health carries an article on this research. Meanwhile in the US, the FDA has decided that fluoride should be allowed in bottled water, perhaps in deference to WalMart's offerings.

The use of fluoride for "health" reasons is one of the great insanities of our times. Could it be just by chance that the Germans and Russians both used fluoride to make prisoners stupid and docile or that the US government faced legal action over the toxic effects in the environment of this nuclear waste by-product?

Perhaps the push for 'enriching' our water and our foods with fluoride has some ulterior motive that has little to do with health. Be that as it may, the campaign for fluoridation is stil in full swing and health authorities are pushing the poison as if their monthly paychecks depended on it.

Jennifer Luke's PhD thesis on fluoride and its accumulation in the pineal gland - Paul Connett says that research might just be the scientific straw that breaks the camel's back:

- Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and it's also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972.

- Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).

- USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950's that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to "Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient."

- The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany's **** prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph Borkin.)

- 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health risks, however 10% of Britons drink it and the UK government is trying to fast track the fluoridation of the entire country's water supply.

- In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject's will and therefore violated fundamental human rights.

- In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water.

- Sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides, fluoridated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea

You know, Im going to meet with a woman out here who has a holistic clinic - I met with her by chance at work a couple days ago, had heard about her and already had an appt so was odd, but anyway, we discussed many things about viruses and the like, she definitely knows her herbs and remedies and viruses even. In a short time I got a huge lesson on things; anyway tho, I will ask her about a healthier alternative, Im sure she knows about flouride - damn a lot of that I didnt know about! Thanks for posting this lori.

Hey I did talk to her today. She said toms of maine carries non-fluoride toothpaste. I did find a version for children on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q40Y88?smid=A1EMYRTRBHTVVG&tag=nextag-hpc-delta-20&linkCode=asn they should have it in canada. Also, rinse with hydrogen peroxide.

Thanks for all this kish.

I've been meaning to post this.

I found several different types of fluoride-free toothpaste in the stores I shopped at.   Tom's of Maine was available at most stores in a variety of flavours.  I almost chose a fennel flavoured toothpaste, but instead opted for "silly strawberry'  for kids.  I know Toms is quite famous for natural health care and hygiene products such as toothpaste and deodorants, yet it does have one of the main ingredients I was trying to steer clear of;  sodium lauryl sulfate.   had Cassidee not begged for the strawberry flavour, I wouldn't have bought this one.  Won't be getting that again.

I also found, from The Green Beaver Company, which is a Canadian Co. (made in Ontario) a deliciously yummy and natural Cilantro/Minth toothpaste which I picked up for myself.  I love the flavour of this and the way it makes my teeth feel, light clean and refreshed.   Other flavours available are Frosty Mint,  Zesty Orange, Star Anise and Green Apple.

Ingredients:
CILANTRO-MINT TOOTHPASTE
Calcium carbonate, sorbitol, aqua, glycerin, sodium bicarbonate, coriandrum sativum (coriander) oil, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, mentha viridis (spearmint) oil, silica, xylitol, citrus medica limonum (lemon) extract, calcium ascorbate, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, menthol, sclerotium gum, coco glucoside, xanthan gum.





Green Beaver uses Canadian ingredients that are organically grown or ecologically wildcrafed from coast to coast.
Other products  available include shampoos, conditioners, bath and body washes, and hand and body lotions. They are available in three natural essences; Wild P.E.I. Cranberries, Apple Mint from Nova Scotia’s Annapolis valley and Wildcrafted Lavender from B.C.

Sounds good to me!

[kish]

Awesome!, thanks Lori 

I wasn't aware Tom's had SLS 

[Lori Anne]

Awesome!, thanks Lori 

I wasn't aware Tom's had SLS 

Same here.   It doesn't make much sense to me, to make a fluoride free toothpast and sell it as healthy and good for you yet still add a known chemical irritant and possible carcinogen.

Thumbs down Tom's of Maine!

Fluoride Will Ruin Your Teeth - And Your Health!



Back in the 40s, when fluoride was first added to the water supply, most
dentists believed that you had to swallow the stuff in order for it to
work. It hadn't been proven, mind you. But that didn't stop the
government from including it in the chemical ****tail that's
routinely added to your tap water.

A lot has changed since then, though. Now, more than 50 years of
research has proven, beyond a doubt, that fluoride is NOT suitable for
human consumption. Period. You may also be surprised to learn fluoride
is AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED POISON!! Yep! For years fluoride was
classified as a toxic waste in this country. In fact, not too long ago
its only approved uses were as an insecticide and a RAT POISON! Most
nations have wisely abandoned fluoridation, realizing that it was a
horrible mistake and was responsible for bad health and death in
millions of innocent people & most nations, except, of course, for the
good ol' U.S.A.

Now, those people who have been exposed to a lifetime of poisoning…
er, I mean fluoridation…are suffering the consequences. Fluoride
poisoning plays a role, in my opinion, in practically every disease that
we see. Why? Because fluoride is an enzyme inhibitor, and that means not
one single cell in your body escapes its toxic effects.



Is the idea of having healthy teeth really worth risking your life?

Millions of people in America are being forced to ingest a toxin
that's been linked to a whole host of diseases like:

:

_ Immune system alteration—Fluoride causes the immune system to fail
to distinguish between the body's own proteins and disease, which
can lead to autoimmune conditions, like asthma and Graves' disease.



_ Musculoskeletal harm—Fluoride-caused enzyme toxicity damages the
collagens and other substances that make up muscles, tendons, ligaments,
bones, and even tooth enamel. Rheumatoid illnesses such as arthritis and
osteoporosis are aggravated as a result.



_ Genetic damage—Fluoride's enzyme poisoning effects penetrate
the body's chromosomes, causing permanent genetic changes that can
lead to damage to the genitalia, and has even been linked to an
increased incidence of birth defects like Down syndrome.



_ Cancer—Because fluoride is a "MUTAGEN": it can cause the
uncontrolled spread of certain types of cells—including cancer. One
report from San Francisco in 1950 showed a 400% increase in one type of
cancer during the period in which their water supply was initially
fluoridated.



_ Thyroid dysfunction—Fluoride causes damage to the thyroid gland in
multiple ways, which can play havoc on your body's hormonal balance
and ultimately lead to hypothyroidism, an increasingly common condition
in most all civilized nations. As if these things aren't bad enough,
because your body can only eliminate about half the fluoride you ingest,
this toxin builds up in your system over time. So the older you get, the
more likely you are to suffer from fluoride's toxic effects. That
doesn't mean it can only harm adults. Plenty of children have had to
suffer the consequences of fluoridation as well.



Fluoride's attack on children:



The Foundation for Neuroscience & Society has uncovered a surprising and
shocking relationship between fluoride ingestion and lead toxicity. Dr.
Masters & his group of researchers compared children's blood lead
levels in communities using fluoride-treated water with communities
using non-fluoridated water. In three separate samples, totaling over
400,000 children, fluoride-treated municipal

Water was ALWAYS significantly associated with increased blood levels of
LEAD in children. This is chronic lead poisoning, which can lead to a
myriad of other terrible diseases. Another study found a direct link
between fluoride in tap water and bone cancer in young boys. It's no
wonder: About 90 percent of the fluoride that is stored in the body is
taken into the bones.

One of fluoride's effects is to stimulate bone growth in the growing
ends of the bones, places where a type of bone cancer, called
"Osteosarcoma"! (according to Dr. Vyvyan Howard, senior lecturer
in Toxico-Pathology at the University of Liverpool).



Recently, what was published in the medical journal, the Lancet: A study
showing that fluoride can damage developing brains AND the American
Dental Association advised that fluoridated water should not be given to
infants BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE! & put them at a high risk of
developing Dental fluorosis. Which is a problem that occurs when excess
fluoride intake at a young age (namely three months to five years old)
damages developing teeth, leaving these unfortunate children with yellow
teeth, white spots, or damaged enamel.





Fluoride doesn't prevent cavities!

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.

Here are a few more stats:

_ In New York, findings show that there is no noticeable difference in
decay rates between people who drink fluoridated water and those who
don't



http://www.freewebs.com/fluoridation/chart.htm



_ In Illinois, more than half of the state's third graders have
tooth decay, and that percentage is even higher in low-income families,
where fluoridated tap water is more consumed



http://www.voices4kids.org/KC07chap1.pdf



_ A study of Detroit's low-income African American children five
years old and younger found that almost 100% of the children exposed to
fluoridated water have cavities by age 5.



http://iadr.confex.com/iadr/2006Orld/techprogram/abstract_73168.htm



Actions to take:



(1) Protect yourself and your family from fluoride's toxic effects
by investing in a good filtration system for the main pipe coming into
your house.



(2) Don't buy toothpastes that contain fluoride. Better yet,
don't buy toothpaste at all. You'll probably laugh at this but
did you know that plain ole bar soap (i.e.: Dove, Oil of Olay classic or
classic Caress) on a wet tooth brush. So you may think, Ewwww, nasty
taste. Well, look at all the chemicals that toothpaste has in it for
"Flavors". Yeah right. Yucck!! Even plain old baking soda and
peroxide will do it too, AND they all work BETTER than toothpaste & for
a whole lot cheaper.



(3) Once you've taken steps to protect yourself and your family,
contact the Fluoride Action Network (www.fluoridealert.org) to find out
more about how you can participate in the anti-fluoridation campaigns in
your state.







PS: At the suggestion of a dentist from my youth that is at the
Dentistry Institute @ UNLV said that bar soap works great, is better &
cheaper so I started using it. I have gone in for a dental check-up
every year sense and have had no problems and they haven't even had
to do the tooth-whitening to me. When you brush, don't forget the
tongue. It is the biggest source of Bacteria that cause bad breath among
other problems of the mouth. And NO, I have no cavities either. Been
using Classic pink Dove all these yrs. And the taste? I've gotten
used to it.



So there you have it; a FEW opinions. And I KNOW that this will spark
some differences of opinions. That's cool. It's what this forum is all
about.

The Consequences of Using Fluoride

Fluoride has been used for over sixty years to help prevent tooth decay. Over 60% of people in the U.S. receive fluoride in their drinking water; some water supplies have naturally occurring fluoride in it and some have fluoride added at a water treatment facility. Since the onset of fluoridation of the water supply there has been a drastic reduction in the amount of tooth decay. In fact, the CDC has recognized fluoridation of water as one of the biggest public health breakthroughs of the 20th century. Why, then, is there a controversy over the use of fluoride in drinking water and as a dental supplement? Critics say that the safety and effectiveness of fluoride has never been fully proven, and that it can actually be dangerous to consume with resulting health consequences such as neurotoxicity, cancer, and fluorosis among others.

Studies done on mice have shown varying levels of neurotoxicity when these mice were exposed to fluoride. The first major study that showed fluoride caused neurotoxicity was done in 1995 by Dr. Phyllis Mullenix on mice. All the previous theories about fluoride that the researchers were working from were proved incorrect as the research went on. The mice who were drinking fluoridated water were expected to perform tasks similarly to the control mice and they did not. The fluoride was not expected to cross the blood-brain barrier and it was proven that it did.

Eighteen subsequent studies on fluoride and the brain have shown lower I.Q. levels in children with elevated fluoride levels, even after controlling for other factors that could cause the lower I.Q. such as parental education levels, lead levels, iodine exposure, and family income.

For all the studies that state that there is no association between fluoride and cancer there are just as many noting an association. Research has shown elevated cancer rates in cities with fluoridated water, cancerous changes in liver cells, and unscheduled DNA synthesis.

Fluorosis is a result of over consumption of fluoride. Drinking water is the most significant source of fluoride with fluoride in food, air, and toothpaste also contributing. Dental fluorosis results in staining and pitting of the teeth with some enamel damage possible at advanced levels. Skeletal fluorosis is a more advanced and serious case of fluorosis and results in pain and impairment of joints, muscles, and tissue.

The consequences of fluoride seem to outweigh the benefits, although dentists and other health professionals often disagree. Personal education about the risks and benefits of fluoride is necessary for each individual to make the best choice for themselves.

A Fluoride-Free Pineal Gland is More Important than Ever

There has been some controversy over the activity of adding synthetic fluoride to municipal water supplies and elsewhere, but not enough. The seriousness of this issue is more than what most realize. Fluoridation ranks with GMO's and tainted, forced vaccinations among the great crimes against humanity.

Understanding the Different Fluorides

There are two types of fluoride. Calcium Fluoride, which appears naturally in underground water supplies, is relatively benign. However, too much consumed daily can lead to bone or dental problems. Calcium is used to counter fluoride poisoning when it occurs. This redeeming factor indicates that the calcium in naturally formed calcium fluoride neutralizes much of fluoride's toxic effects.

On the other hand, the type of fluorides added to water supplies and other beverages and foods are waste products of the nuclear, aluminum, and now mostly the phosphate (fertilizer) industries. The EPA has classified these as toxins: fluorosilicate acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride.

For this article, the term Sodium Fluoride will include all three types. Sodium fluoride is used for rat poison and as a pesticide. According to a scientific study done several years ago, Comparative Toxicity of Fluorine Compounds, industrial waste sodium fluorides are 85 times more toxic than naturally occurring calcium fluoride.

Health Hazards of Sodium Fluoride

Generally, most fluoride entering the body is not easily eliminated. It tends to accumulate in the body's bones and teeth. Recently, it has been discovered to accumulate even more in the pineal gland, located in the middle of the brain.

This consequence of dental fluorosis, which seriously harms teeth, from daily fluoridation has been documented. Yet, the American Dental Association (AMA) continues beating a dead horse, promoting fluoride. There is a refusal to admit that instead of preventing tooth decay, fluoride causes even more dental harm.

The flood of sodium fluoride in water and food also creates other more serious health problems that are not widely publicized, even suppressed. Nevertheless, in addition to fluorosis, independent labs and reputable researchers have linked the following health issues with daily long term intake of sodium fluoride:

*Cancer
*Genetic DNA Damage
*Thyroid Disruption - affecting the complete endocrine system and leading to obesity
*Neurological - diminished IQ and inability to focus, lethargy and weariness.
*Alzheimer's Disease
*Melatonin Disruption, lowers immunity to cancer, accelerates aging, sleep disorders.
*Pineal Gland, calcification, which clogs this gland located in the middle of the brain.

How Did We Get Stuck With Stuff?

According to investigative journalist Christopher Bryson, author of The Fluoride Deception, getting large quantities of sodium fluoride into the water and food system was a ploy of public relations sponsored by the industries who were saddled with getting rid of the toxic materials.

Fluoride was necessary for the processing or enriching of uranium. The pro-fluoride propaganda was started during the Manhattan Project to create the first atom bombs in the 1940's. The spin was to convince workers and locals where the largest nuclear plant was located in Tennessee that fluoride was not only safe, it was good for kids' dental health.

In the early 1950's, the notorious spin master and father of advertising, Edward Bernays, continued the campaign for adding fluorides to water supplies as an experiment in engineering human consent! Then the AMA picked up on the dental issue and endorsed sodium fluoride's addition to water supplies. The few dissenting health studies and reports were usually squashed. Those dissenting voices were dismissed as quacks regardless of their credentials.

Approximately 2/3 of the USA water supply is laced with sodium fluoride. Sodium fluoride is a common pesticide. So that residue is in some foods. Some sodas, packaged orange juices, and even bottled drinking water for babies contain fluoride additives. Buyer beware. Read your labels carefully.

Avoiding Fluoridation

Keep in mind that boiling only increases the concentration of fluoride to water more. But removing fluoride from tap water is not so difficult. Reverse osmosis works well for removing fluorides. If you own your home and can spring for the bucks, you can have one installed under the sink in your kitchen. That makes things very convenient for your fluoride removal from tap water.

If this is not your situation, grab a couple of large jugs and fill them up from reverse osmosis machines in health food stores, supermarkets, and other locations. There are several such machines around, usually labeled as using reverse osmosis, and they usually take coins. So it is the most accessible and cheapest way to go if you can't install one where you live.

The Physiological Importance of the Pineal Gland

During the late 1990's in England, a scientist by the name of Jennifer Luke undertook the first study the effects of sodium fluoride on the pineal gland. She determined that the pineal gland, located in the middle of the brain, was a target for fluoride. The pineal gland simply absorbed more fluoride than any other physical matter in the body, even bones.

Because of the pineal gland's importance to the endocrine system, her conclusions were a breakthrough. Her study provided the missing link to a lot of physiological damage from sodium fluoride that had been hypothesized but not positively connected. A veritable root source for the chain reaction of blocked endocrine activity had been isolated.

Good news though. Frequent exposure to outdoor sunshine, 20 minutes or so at a time, will help stimulate a fluoride calcified pineal gland. Just make sure you take off your hat. This is more important than most realize, because the pineal gland affects so much other enzyme and endocrine activity, including melatonin production.

The 2012 Connection

First a bit about 2012, a date many have heard about. According to Carlos Barrios, anthropologist, historian, and investigator who was initiated as a Mayan ceremonial priest and spiritual guide, "Anthropologists visit the temple sites and read the inscriptions . . . but they do not read the signs correctly. . . . Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed."

Carlos Barrios goes on to say that the transformation will be both spiritual and physical. The transition started in 1987. He says that we are in a spiritual transition from the rule of materialism, greed, and enmity to a new period of cooperation and peace - but not without difficulty. The current oligarchy is happy with what they have and don't want to give it up, and they are powerful. The Mayans claim that 2012 marks the end of the period of the fourth sun and the beginning of the fifth sun.

Carlos points out that adversarial revolution against the ruling class will not work. It is up to those who want this shift to connect with others of like mind and begin actively creating networks of real cooperation. The old will crumble. The new period will dawn with its growing pains, the severity of which depends on our ability to accept what is happening and go with the flow. This, he says, requires evolving to unconditional love, with an open and simple heart, forgiveness, and cooperation with less ego competition.

Connecting the Pineal Gland to This 2012 Matter

Well, what does all this have to do with the pineal gland? A lot. It is considered a portal to the inner or higher self by yogi masters, including Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Psychics consider it to be the link for inter dimensional experiences. It is associated with what many call the third eye or sixth chakra, which is a doorway to higher consciousness and bliss.

And it is vital for supporting intuition, an ability that will be needed during hard times. So it is necessary to evolve spiritually in order to help create better understanding, acceptance of our fellow humans, and easier group cooperation. Meditation is a part of this evolving. That and a little sunshine, good rest and food, can cause a calcified pineal gland to loosen up and allow that portal to open.

An unusual psychiatrist, professor of medicine at University of New Mexico, and practicing Buddhist, Dr. Rick Strassman, MD, has written a book based on actual human studies of people under the psychedelic drug, DMT, titled DMT, The Spirit Molecule. He has discovered, among other things, that the pineal gland is a source of DMT production during birth and at death, and during near death or mystical experiences. This chemical approach corroborates the idea of the pineal gland as a portal, where the spirit passes through to other dimensions, either entering this physical realm or leaving it.

South American and Central American shamans use Ayahuasca, an herbal potion that stimulates DMT for psychological healing and spiritual initiation ceremonies. They have expanded their ceremonies with Ayahuasca by traveling throughout the world or opening their local facilities to non natives. They are doing this urgently in anticipation of 2012. Their desire is to jump start and expand individuals' consciousness so the transition of consciousness will be facilitated and incorporate as many as possible.

This information is meant to link the physical realm's pineal gland to higher states of awareness and other realms. The point is not to advocate or discourage psychedelic drug use, but to encourage health, meditation and spiritual growth by maintaining a fluoride free pineal gland. 2012 is approaching. Time to get in shape!
