22. Fluoride: Commie Plot Or Capitalist Ploy--Joel Griffiths fluoride emissions? fluoride, as in toothpaste? Well, yes. fluoride was the pollutant primarily responsible for the Akwesasne devastation.(5) http://www.primitivism.com/fluoride.htm

- Topics - Home News Primitivism Politics ... Author Index Fluoride: Commie Plot or Capitalist Ploy Joel Griffiths Cows crawled around the pasture on their bellies, inching along like giant snails. So crippled by bone disease they could not stand up, this was the only way they could graze. Some died kneeling after giving birth to stunted calves. Others kept on crawling until, no longer able to chew because their teeth had crumbled down to the nerves, they began to starve....(1) These were the cattle of the Mohawk Indians on the New York-Canadian St. Regis Reservation during the period 1960-75, when industrial pollution devastated the herd and along with it, the Mohawks' way of life. Crops and trees withered, birds and bees fled from this remnant of land the Mohawk still call Akwesasne, "the land where the partridge drums." Today, nets cast into the St. Lawrence River by Mohawk fishers bring up ulcerated fish with spinal deformities. Mohawk children, too, have shown signs of damage to bones and teeth.(2) In 1980, the Mohawks filed a $150 million lawsuit for damage to themselves and their property against the companies responsible for the pollution: the Reynolds Metals Co. and the Aluminum Co. of America (ALCOA). But five years of legal costs bankrupted the tribe and they settled for $650,000 in damages to their cows;3 the court, however, left the door open for a future Mohawk suit for damage to their own health. After all, commented human rights lawyer Robert Pritchard, "What judge wants to go down in history as being the judge who approved the annihilation of the Indians by fluoride emissions?"(4)

Fluoride is the name given to a group of compounds that are composed of the naturally occurring element fluorine and one or more other elements. Fluorides are present naturally in water and soil. What is fluoridated water? Virtually all water contains some amount of fluoride. Water fluoridation is the process of adding fluoride to the water supply so that the level reaches approximately 1 part fluoride per million parts water (ppm) or 1 milligram fluoride per liter of water (mg/L); this is the optimal level for preventing tooth decay (1).

Fluoride is necessary for the formation and health of bones and teeth. Fluoride Deficiency Fluoride deficiency can lead to tooth decay and possibly osteoporosis. Consuming enough fluoride can prevent tooth decay and may strengthen bones. The addition of fluoride (fluoridation) to drinking water that is low in fluoride or the use of fluoride supplements significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. Fluoride Excess The diagnosis is based on symptoms. Treatment involves reducing fluoride consumption. For example, people who live in areas with fluoridated water should not drink fluoridated water or take fluoride supplements. Children should always be instructed not to swallow fluoridated toothpaste.

29. Why Fluoridation Is Important Subtitle Don t Let the Poisonmongers Scare You! Discusses many arguments against fluoridation and how those tend to be invalid or incorrect. http://www.quackwatch.com/03HealthPromotion/fluoride.html

Home Search Your Guide to Quackery, Health Fraud, and Intelligent Decisions Send This Page to a Friend Fluoridation: Don't Let the Poisonmongers Scare You Bob Sprague Mary Bernhardt Stephen Barrett, M.D. Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in most water supplies. Fluoridation is the adjustment of the natural fluoride concentration to about one part of fluoride to one million parts of water. Although fluoridation is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay, the scare tactics of misguided poisonmongers have deprived many communities of its benefits. The history of fluoridation in the United States underlines its unique standing as a public health measure copied from a natural phenomenon. In the early 1900s, Dr. Frederick S. McKay began an almost 30-year search for the cause of the staining of teeth that was prevalent in Colorado, where he practiced dentistry. In his investigation, McKay found the condition common in other states, including Texas, where it was known as "Texas teeth." In 1928, he concluded that such teeth, although stained, showed "a singular absence of decay," and that both the staining and the decay resistance were caused by something in the water. In 1931, the "something" was identified as fluoride. The Public Health Service then took over to determine precisely what amount of fluoride in the water would prevent decay without causing staining. Years of "shoeleather epidemiology" by Dr. H. Trendley Dean traced the dental status of 7,000 children who drank naturally fluoridated water in 21 cities in four states. In 1943, he reported that the ideal amount of fluoride was one part per million parts of water. This concentration was demonstrated to result in healthy, attractive teeth that had one-third as many cavities as might otherwise be expected—and no staining.

Fluoride is a natural element that can be found in many things, like the water we drink and the food we eat. Decades ago, scientists began to notice that children who lived in places where fluoride occurred naturally in the water, had fewer dental cavities. Fluoride that is absorbed by your body is used by the cells that build your teeth to make stronger enamel. Topical fluoride - fluoride that is applied to the outside of the enamel - makes the crystals that form enamel more durable. Tooth enamel crystals that have fluoride are much more resistant to acid. They are less likely to breakdown and cause the tooth surface to become porous. If your dentist recommends a fluoride treatment during your next dental visit, you'll be receiving topical protection. The fluoride your dentist puts in your mouth will help make the crystals in your tooth enamel stronger. Always use a toothpaste with fluoride. Look for the Canadian Dental Association seal of approval on the toothpaste tube in your bathroom.

33. Is Fluoride Good To Have In Drinking Water? Some say fluoride in community drinking water is good; others say it s bad; get the truth at www.fluorideinfo.org. http://www.fluorideinfo.org/

FLUORIDE INFORMATION: IS FLUORIDE GOOD TO HAVE IN YOUR DRINKING WATER? Straight Talk about Fluoride There is a lot of information available about fluoride but the information is also sometimes conflicting. Some leads us to believe fluoride in drinking water is a good thing; and some says just the opposite! This web site presents the best known, best substantiated and most truthful information about fluoride. We are educators, medical and public health practitioners, dentists, parents and concerned citizens who have thoroughly researched the issues of fluoride in community water sources. We deeply care about dental health, safe drinking water, health equity across socio-economic groups and fiscal responsibility in homes and whole communities. Many American Communities Want To Retain Fluoride in Their Drinking Water There are many American communities that have had fluoridated drinking water for 50 years or more but recently some oppose having fluoride in community water, and in some cases have even tried to stop fluoridation! We believe the public needs current and reliable information to assist them in making an informed choice regarding this important public health decision, which could especially affect the health of those in our community who are most vulnerable to severe dental disease, and who have the least access to professional preventative and treatment services and who, along with taxpayers, would wind up paying for costly treatment instead of inexpensive prevention. Fluoride provides safe dental prevention in a cost effective way to our most vulnerable citizens. Read on for the truth on Fluoride in drinking water.

Even though the ADA is an association, not a governmental agency, it has a great deal of influence on dental matters through its lobbyists in Washington, DC and the almost universal and dominant presence of its members on State Dental Boards. These Boards have the power to remove a license from a practicing dentist in the state, and thus can keep dentists in line on controversial issues like fluoridation. We hope that this website will encourage more dentists to break ranks with the ADA and rescue this profession from its shortsighted promotion of this dangerous, unethical and unnecessary practice.

Fluoride Preventing Decay with Fluoride California Dental Association MOVING FORWARD. TOGETHER. What is fluoride? Fluoride is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies. Fluoride is also used in many consumer dental products such as toothpaste and fluoride mouth rinses. How does fluoride reduce tooth decay? Systemic fluorides are those that are ingested through food and water and are used by the body as teeth are formed. Systemic fluorides, if ingested regularly during tooth formation, will be deposited throughout the developing layer of enamel, creating a stronger, more decay resistant outer layer. Systemic fluorides also protect teeth topically, as the fluoride is present in saliva, which continually bathes the teeth, promoting remineralization or repair of tooth surfaces that have been damaged by acids early in the decay process. Additionally, fluoride becomes incorporated into the dental plaque layer and can contribute further to the remineralization process. How can I get fluoride?

Home About Columnists Blog ... Donate Fluoride Follies by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD The federal government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Dental Association (ADA) are holding a symposium in Chicago this week titled: "National Fluoridation Symposium 2005: Celebrating 60 Years of Water Fluoridation" (July 13–16). The CDC ranks fluoridation of community drinking water as one of the ten most significant public health achievements of the 20 th century. No speaker at this symposium will dare question the safety or efficacy of fluoride. That is now a given and has become dogma. But like in 1968 when protests against the Vietnam War were held in the Windy City outside the Democratic National Convention, this week protesters have assembled in Chicago to fight fluoridation. Doctors and public health officials did not think sodium fluoride, used commercially as a rat and bug poison, fungicide, and wood preservative, should be put in public water. The
