Just Say No to Fluoride

Concerned about future plans to fluoridate your local drinking water supply...............
you need to be

The poison should stay in the bag
The poison should stay in the bag


The fluoride that they use to fluoridate water supplies and in your toothpaste, mouthwashes etc is NOT obtained from natural sources
as an Australian Chief Medical Officer recently suggested, ' the fluoride used for drinking water is from fluoride-containing rocks'.

Sodium fluoride and fluorosilicic acid are inorganic chemical compounds that are supplied from industrial waste by products, mostly from aluminium and fertiliser production. It is more toxic than lead and only slightly less toxic than arsenic.

It is hard to accept the devious and deceitful acts that allow this to happen, however you can read The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson also on DVD, that has the facts behind this, going back to I G Farber in Nazi Germany (now Bayer), the warnings from the chemist Charles E Perkins came in the 50's, however, it is absolute fact that fluoride has never been proven safe and is an accumulative poison.

So, wherever you are, fight the fluoride and remember that a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste carries the warning that a poison control centre should be contacted right away if accidently swallowed ( in the US ), no such warnings in the EU or UK.

The Science of this...

Is utterly nonsense.

Sodium Fluoride is obtained from rocks. How is that unnatural? You might want to think about the largest

"Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals:
Lowest Published Lethal Dose: LDL [Human] - Route: Oral; Dose: 71 mg/kg LDL [Woman] - Route: Oral; Dose: 90 mg/kg LDL [Woman] - Route: Oral; Dose: 360 mg/kg LDL [Mouse] - Route: Skinl; Dose: 300 mg/kg"
(Sodium Fluoride Material Safety Data Sheet)

Since 95% of Adult males are about 112Kg That means ingesting 7952mg (almost eight grammes) on a regular basis. As a standard toothpaste contains 150mg/Kg that amounts to roughly 50Kg of toothpaste.

If you are actually stupid enough to ingest five whole kilogrammes of fluoride (or drink the 1600 Litres of Water needed to get the lethal dose) then you will die from stupidity.

The whole anti-fluoridation scam came out out American Right Wing Paranoia of the 1950's. It lingers on in American Libertarian Right wing Paranoia. Repeating the myths perpetuates self righteous right wing bollocks. The genuine objection to fluoridation of water is that it is just not really needed. The UK water supply contains fluorides from those unnatural rocks and most people get more than enough from toothpaste. Water fluoridation is an expensive engineering solution to a non-problem.

Seriously, if you want to object to fluoride in water do so on an economic argument. Yes, in high concentrations Sodium Fluoride can be dangerous. But you are talking about swallowing Kilogrammes of toothpaste (the Titanium Oxide whitener might do you more damage and 50Kg might well do mechanical damage to your body) or thousands of litres of water (you might drown before being poisoned) to obtain a poisonous effect.

Stop going for a regime of health and safety paranoia. It distracts from serious issues. Yes Sodium Fluoride is dangerous. But it actually reacts with naturally occuring acids and alkalis to become very inert gem stones such as emeralds.
