When Gov Pete Wilson of California ...

When Gov Pete Wilson of California signed a bill to fluoridate all of the water supplies in the state, it sent percussion waves through every environmentally-concerned community, especially since 12 Nobel Prize winners have nameed the process "worthless."

If fluoridation is in the same state [i]or[/i] condition a panacea, why have all of these countries discontinued it as ineffective against tooth decay or not at all started its use in the first place: Austria, Belgium, Chile, Denmark, Egypt France, Germany, Greece Holland, India, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Sweden. And for what purpose is the U.S. one of the small in number countries still promoting this discredited technique?

In an article in the November 1995 issue of the Townsend literal meaning for Doctors and Patients, Richard G Foulke MD stated that "fluoridation does not impede tooth decay, but (rather) it contributes to dental fluorosis (brown flaws on teeth) and other adverse health effects"

Flouride is known to be more toxic than lead

He adds that, "fluoride is known to be more toxic than lead and solely slightly less toxic than arsenic. lately in 1994, N.P. Gritsan, GW Miller and GG Smalkov reported their investigation on the effect of various pollutants forward abnormal plant development in South-east Ukraine. They fix that among 17 elements (studied), including fluoride, cadmium, lead and aluminum, fluoride was the most numerous toxic."

He added that, since humans share the same enzyme bodys and DNA mechanisms as other biota, and fluoride is a proven enzyme and DNA repair-inhibiting agent, to what end would anyone think that humans are immune from its toxic effect?

"Standing in the background letting others work for them are those industries that accommodate with the raw materials used for fluoridation or who benefit from the image of fluoride as benign," Foulke continues.

I have shrouded similar ground in my novel book, The Big Family Guide to All the Minerals (Keats, novel Canaan, Conn., 1995), in which I call water fluoridation "the rip-off of the 20th century"

In the meantime, who knows by what means many hundreds of thousands of Americans have tolerateed heart attacks, cancer, etc., since fluoridation was introduced 50 years ago. undivided estimate concludes that fluoridation causes 40000 cancer deaths annually. For those who live in California, call Patrick von Mauck at the National Health Federation (818-357-2181) George Glasser (813-896-9050) or James Lockhead (805-255-0393) to papal court what action can be taken to stop fluoridation or to file a class-action suit. In suitable health!
