The Fluoride Wars: Loving Cancer, Loving Lower IQBy Jon Rappoport One of the major agencies that would look the other way is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But suppose scientists within the EPA spoke out, revolted, and issued official rebukes to their own Agencys position on fluorides? Talk about cognitive dissonance. Contradiction. We at the EPA know fluorides are wonderful and safe and beautiful. Of course, our own scientists disagree. Strongly. But dont worry, were ignoring them. And were keeping their statements out of the press. Our position on fluorides is administrative. It has nothing to do with science. Anyway, we support cancer and plummeting IQ. Theyre wonderful. Case in point, going back 17 years. Buckle up. Here is what the EPA Union of scientists had to say about fluoridation: Quoting from a May 1, 1999, statement Why EPAs Headquarters Union of Scientists Opposes Fluoridationwritten by William Hirzy, PhD, [Union of Scientists] Senior Vice-President, Chapter 280: our opposition to drinking water fluoridation has grown, based on the scientific literature documenting the increasingly out-of-control exposures to fluoride, the lack of benefit to dental health from ingestion of fluoride and the hazards to human health from such ingestion. These hazards include acute toxic hazard, such as to people with impaired kidney function, as well as chronic toxic hazards of gene mutations, cancer, reproductive effects, neurotoxicity, bone pathology and dental fluorosis. In support of this concern are results from two epidemiology studies from China that show decreases in I.Q. in children who get more fluoride than the control groups of children in each study. These decreases are about 5 to 10 I.Q. points in children aged 8 to 13 years. Another troubling brain effect has recently surfaced: fluorides interference with the function of the brains pineal gland. The pineal gland produces melatonin which, among other roles, mediates the bodys internal clock, doing such things as governing the onset of puberty. Jennifer Luke has shown that fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland and inhibits its production of melatonin. She showed in test animals that this inhibition causes an earlier onset of sexual maturity, an effect reported in humans as well in 1956 EPA fired the Office of Drinking Waters chief toxicologist, Dr. William Marcus, who also was our local unions treasurer at the time, for refusing to remain silent on the cancer risk issue. The judge who heard the lawsuit he [Marcus] brought against EPA over the firing made that findingthat EPA fired him over his fluoride work and not for the phony reason put forward by EPA management at his dismissal. Dr. Marcus won his lawsuit and is again at work at EPA. data showing increases in osteosarcomas in young men in New Jersey, Washington and Iowa based on their drinking fluoridated water. It was his [Dr. Marcus] analysis, repeated statements about all these and other incriminating cancer data, and his requests for an independent, unbiased evaluation of them that got Dr. Marcus fired. Regarding the effectiveness of fluoride in reducing dental cavities, there has not been any double-blind study of fluorides effectiveness as a caries preventative. There have been many, many small scale, selective publications on this issue that proponents cite to justify fluoridation, but the largest and most comprehensive study, one done by dentists trained by the National Institute of Dental Research, on over 39,000 school children aged 5-17 years, shows no significant differences (in terms of decayed, missing and filled teeth) among caries [cavities] incidences in fluoridated, non-fluoridated and partially fluoridated communities. The latest publication on the fifty-year fluoridation experiment in two New York cities, Newburgh and Kingston, shows the same thing. The only significant difference in dental health between the two communities as a whole is that fluoridated Newburgh, N.Y. shows about twice the incidence of dental fluorosis (the first, visible sign of fluoride chronic toxicity) as seen in non-fluoridated Kingston. John Colquhouns publication on this point of efficacy is especially important. Dr. Colquhoun was Principal Dental Officer for Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, and a staunch supporter of fluoridationuntil he was given the task of looking at the world-wide data on fluoridations effectiveness in preventing cavities. The paper is titled, Why I changed My Mind About Water Fluoridation. In it Colquhoun provides details on how data were manipulated to support fluoridation in English speaking countries, especially the U.S. and New Zealand. This paper explains why an ethical public health professional was compelled to do a 180 degree turn on fluoridation. mutation studiesshow that fluoride can cause gene mutations in mammalian and lower order tissues at fluoride concentrations estimated to be present in the mouth from fluoridated tooth paste. Further, there were tumors of the oral cavity seen in the NTP cancer studyfurther strengthening concern over the toxicity of topically applied fluoride. So, in addition to our concern over the toxicity of fluoride, we note the uncontrolled and apparently uncontrollable exposures to fluoride that are occurring nationwide via drinking water, processed foods, fluoride pesticide residues and dental care productsFor governmental and other organizations to continue to push for more exposure in the face of current levels of over-exposure coupled with an increasing crescendo of adverse toxicity findings is irrational and irresponsible at best. We have also taken a direct step to protect the [EPA] employees we represent from the risks of drinking fluoridated waterthe union filed a grievance, asking that EPA provide un-fluoridated drinking water to its employees. The implication for the general public of these calculations is clear. Recent, peer-reviewed toxicity data, when applied to EPAs standard method for controlling risks from toxic chemicals, require an immediate halt to the use of the nations drinking water reservoirs as disposal sites for the toxic waste of the phosphate fertilizer industry. That last sentence lets you know where the fluorides are coming from. Soan employees union of scientists within the EPA has made its position clear. Quite clear. The mainstream press has refused to cover this story in any significant way for at least 17 years. In 2013, the EPA denied a petition from Dr. Hirzy calling for the removal of fluorides from water supplies. In a pinch, I guess the Agency can find scientists hanging around bus stations and bars and crack houses and get them to say what they want them to say and stamp it official. Scientists whove been guzzling fluoridated water themselves and thus have microscopic IQs. Image Credit (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

Timely for New Zealanders as the govt is in the process of taking away the responsibility of flouridating water supplies from local regional councils giving it to District Health Boards. And I think we can predict how they will vote. In Christchurch we have clean unpoisoned water but with the epidemic of tooth decay amongst the lower socio economic strata of society, primarily caused by poor dental hygiene of sugar saturated food drink the push for flouride is in full swing. When I queried Western Australias fluoridation of scheme water my local representative Luke Perkins suggested that I was mentally ill and that no one else was concerned. Are you questioning the Health Department? .. yes I am questioning the fkng Health Department ! .What kind of fkng freaks are you? Apparently the use of the fictional word science is all they need. Toxic vaccinations with daily fluoride poisoning! This is a full frontal assault with Silent Weapons for the Quiet Wars now directed at our children.
