Fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen and
leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle,
skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea.

Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption
in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the
white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the
blood.

Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of
white blood cells to properly destroy foreign agents by the
process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm fluoride
stimulates superoxide production in resting white blood
cells, virtually abolishing phagocytosis. Even micro-molar
amounts of fluoride, below 1 ppm, may seriously depress the
ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.

The
contents of a family size tube of fluoridated toothpaste is
enough to kill a 25 pound child.
In 1991, the
Akron (Ohio) Regional Poison Center reported that "death has
been reported following ingestion of 16mg/kg of fluoride.
Only 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride could kill a 100 pound
adult. According to the Center, "fluoride toothpaste
contains up to 1mg/gram of fluoride." Even Proctor and
Gamble, the makers of Crest, acknowledge that a family-sized
tube "theoretically contains enough fluoride to kill a small
child."
Fluorides
have been used to modify behavior and mood of human beings.
It is a little
known fact that fluoride compounds were added to the
drinking water of prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit
questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison camps in World
War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia.
Fluorides
are medically categorized as protoplasmic poisons, which is
why they are used to kill rodents.
The September
18, 1943 issue of the Journal of the American Medical
Association, states, "fluorides are general protoplasmic
poisons, changing the permeability of the cell membrane by
inhibiting certain enzymes. The exact mechanisms of such
actions are obscure."
Fluoride
consumption by human beings increases the general cancer
death rate.
In 1975 Dr.
John Yiamouyiannis published a preliminary survey which
showed that people in fluoridated areas have a higher cancer
death rate than those in non-fluoridated areas. The National
Cancer Institute attempted to refute the studies. Later in
1975 Yiamouyiannis joined with Dr. Dean Burk, chief chemist
of the National Cancer Institute (1939-1974) in performing
other studies which were then included in the Congressional
Record by Congressman Delaney, who was the original author
of the Delaney Amendment, which prohibited the addition of
cancer-causing substances to food used for human consumption.
Both reports confirmed the existence of a link between
fluoridation and cancer. (Note: Obviously Dr. Burk felt
free to agree with scientific truth only after his tenure at
National Cancer Institute ended, since his job depended on
towing the party line).
Fluorides
have little or no effect on decay prevention in humans.
In 1990 Dr.
John Colquhoun was forced into early retirement in New
Zealand after he conducted a study on 60,000 school children
and found no difference in tooth decay between fluoridated
and unfluoridated areas. He additionally found that a
substantial number of children in fluoridated areas suffered
from dental fluorosis. He made the study public.
There is no
scientific data that shows that fluoride mouth rinses and
tablets are safe for human use.
In 1989 a
study by Hildebolt, et al. on 6,000 school children
contradicted any alleged benefit from the use of sodium
fluorides. A 1990 study by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis on 39,000
school children contradicted any alleged benefits from the
use of sodium fluorides. In 1992 Michael Perrone, a
legislative assistant in New Jersey, contacted the FDA
requesting all information regarding the safety and
effectiveness of fluoride tablets and drops. After 6 months
of stalling, the FDA admitted they had no data to show that
fluoride tablets or drops were either safe or effective.
They informed Perrone that they will "probably have to pull
the tablets and drops off the market."
The fact
that fluoride toothpastes and school based mouth rinses are
packaged in aluminum accentuates the effect on the body.
In 1976, Dr.
D. Allman and coworkers from Indiana University School of
Medicine fed animals 1 part-per-million (ppm) fluoride and
found that in the presence of aluminum, in a
concentration as small as 20 parts per billion, fluoride is
able to cause an even larger increase in cyclic AMP levels.
Cyclic AMP inhibits the migration rate of white blood cells,
as well as the ability of the white blood cell to destroy
pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms. Reference:
Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 55, Sup B, p. 523, 1976, "
Effect of Inorganic Fluoride Salts on Urine and Tissue
Cyclic AMP Concentration in Vivo". (Note: It is no small
accident that toothpaste tubes containing fluoride are often
made of aluminum)
"Fluoridation
is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century"
Robert
Carlton, Ph. D., former U. S. EPA scientist on "
Marketplace" Canadian Broadcast Company, Nov. 24, 1992
"Regarding
fluoridation, the 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"
