Opinion: Censor the Science on Fluoride

Fluoride

It is absolutely crucial that the science on fluoride is censored. Fortunately, top officials in Federal Agencies did just that. They censored the science on fluoride. After all, we look to Federal Agencies to protect us.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has a large umbrella that includes the CDC, NIH, FDA, Medicare, and more. U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health, Admiral Rachel Levine has put the release of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) fluoride report on hold. NIH’s Office of Director, the highest office within the NIH is also involved. Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D. (Dentist) is performing the duties of the NIH Director. He assumed this NIH role on December 20, 2021, after Dr. Francis Collins retired. NIH was Dr. Anthony Fauci’s stomping ground.

We know that Rachel Levine and NIH’s Doctor/Dentist Tabak censored the toxicology report on fluoride because of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. We saw the CDC’s emails. That long-haired hippie-kid Derek Broze had reported about it, but he is one of them anti-fluoridation nuts.

National Toxicology Program (NTP)

Falling under the umbrella of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), via the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is the National Toxicology Program (NTP).

NIH/ NIEHS funded some landmark scientific studies at prestigious institutions which demonstrated that Dallas water fluoridation levels can adversely affect the mental abilities (IQ and ADHD) of the fetus and formula-fed infant.

Did you really grasp that previous sentence?

Did you click the link?

Did you see the list of studies?

National Toxicology Program’s state of the science review and meta-analysis on fluoride neurotoxicity has taken 7 long years by the scientists at NTP, along with an unprecedented number (breaking all records) peer-reviews.

Nobody has ever seen anything remotely like this with an NTP report. Typically, it gets expediently peer-reviewed and then publicly published. However, we savvy pro-fluoride junkies know that “stall, stall, stall” is how you play the game at the EPA and other Federal agencies. We know how to squelch that fluoride science. In fact, my friends at the American Dental Association covertly got into the review process so they could pervert the outcome. But they got caught from one of those dang FOIA requests. Fortunately, Rachel Levine may never allow the broad public to see this NTP report on fluoride’s toxicity.

EPA FLUORIDE LAWSUIT

The NTP report is important because the EPA is being sued by citizens who are concerned about fluoride toxicity. Never before in history has a citizens group brought a case to trial like this. Robert F Kennedy, Jr. interviews the attorney Michael Connett about the trial in this 33-minute video. In the video, you will watch trial testimony from both the EPA and the CDC where they admit under oath that toxic risks exist with water fluoridation, and that fluoridation provides no benefit for certain population subsets.

DALLAS

For over 10 years, these tin foil hat activists at DallasForSaferWater.com keep telling the Dallas City Council that “Risks Exist” with water fluoridation. The Dallas City Council could stop fluoridation at any time. In 1965, the Council started the program and thus can stop it. Some council members do not want the people to vote on the fluoridation issue in May, because democracy doesn’t apply when they don’t want it to. We all know how council members prefer to role-play as dictators by forcing everyone to swallow a fluoride medicine.

The activists have presented more than 150 presentations to the Council, along with tons of information.

These folks make salient points, so DO NOT WATCH this VIDEO.

“Dallas Water Utilities refuses to disclose the potential risks to water fluoridation,” shout the crazy activists. In the Dallas Water Utility’s risk/benefit analysis of fluoridation, it becomes silly-obvious when they only show benefits while saying: “No Risks Exist”. It’s a bit like walking a used car lot.

“Censor the Science on Fluoride” is what Dallas Water Utilities is doing. We profluoride junkies know that this is the way to keep swallowing the fluoride.

These pesky anti-fluoridation activists point to over 400 scientific studies which demonstrate that fluoride damages the brain and that the Dallas fluoride levels are just like past Thyroid medications. Hyperthyroidism had been treated with small amounts of fluoride, because fluoride has many chemical interactions in the body processes. Fluoride has no nutritional value and is not used for any function of the body.

“How many milligrams of Fluoride should a pregnant Mother consume daily?” reads a flyer by the Dallas anti-fluoride mob. What!? Don’t these idiot activists know that people no longer have critical thinking skills? The public can’t think with that question, much less do simple math.

Dallas tap water contains 0.7 milligrams (mg) of fluoride in every quart (liter). The lethal dose for a 35-pound 4-year-old child is about 80 mg of fluoride. If the kid drank 114 liters of water in one day, the fluoride could kill him if he doesn’t drown first.

Everyone knows that swallowing fluoride is very nutritious for a growing young child while their teeth are forming, right? Right? Or not? Of course, as every Dentist knows, swallowing fluoride as an adult does no good for the teeth, but it may calm an overactive thyroid. We know that every 3-year-old can read the FDA warning label on their 4.6-ounce Fruity-Tootie fluoride toothpaste. The label states that if more than a pea-sized amount is swallowed, call Poison Control. Swallowing a half tube can be fatal for a 4-year-old.

Evidently, more than half the children and adolescents in the Dallas metro area have dental fluorosis. Only one thing causes dental fluorosis – swallowing fluoride. Look for white specks or patches on the teeth. Sometimes it shows as cloudy or brownish stains, and maybe some tiny pits. Examine the back teeth, not just the front. Dental fluorosis is an outward sign that the body’s system has a toxic load of fluoride. One should certainly expect more brittle teeth and bones. In adults, around 50% of ingested fluoride accumulates in bones as a body-toxin protection mechanism, while the other 50% stresses the kidneys as the body tries to eliminate the poison. Older adults notice the achy joints because of the fluoride accumulation.

The economic benefits of fluoridation are wondrous! Cosmetic dentistry, easily cracked teeth, achy joints, and broken hips make up part of our country’s economy. We should relish the vibrant economic benefit of those many adverse health conditions which occur very gradually by swallowing a little fluoride every day. This is the perfect long-term business plan. Bit by bit, incremental slow poisoning. No one will notice because it is unperceptively gradual. Eventually, the body has poor health conditions. Poor Health = Big Bucks.

Thankfully, our massive aluminum and fertilizer industries keep cranking out fluoride toxic waste so we can put it in our Dallas drinking water. Don’t worry. It is classified as hazardous toxic waste by the EPA and cannot be dumped in rivers or on the ground. But the EPA says that it can be reclassified if it is ‘sold’ to water districts like Dallas.

Here is the sad thing though. Water fluoridation will never be a national mandate. It’s a law.

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) states: “No national primary drinking water regulation may require the addition of any substance for preventive health care purposes unrelated to contamination of drinking water.”

What!? Me worry? Nah! It is a well-known phenomenon that too much unwanted science can cause pain between the ears. Plus, people don’t read anymore. No one actually reads a science study. Few will ever thoroughly research. Article links are never clicked. People just quote headlines or “Authoritarian Experts” while repeating the mantra “safe and effective”. On top of that, politicians make a career of getting people to swallow what they say, and in Dallas they say: “Swallow the fluoride every day.” Everyone knows that politicians don’t really care about people’s health. Everyone knows that Federal Agencies will do anything to save face and that they will never confess their sins.

Take this home: Reason, logic and prestigious scientific studies don’t apply. Narrative does.

We profluoride junkies are lucky. Edward Bernays, the guy who wrote the book entitled “Propaganda”, played a big role in helping to get water fluoridation started. While you can read the book at the link, the opening paragraph is worth quoting:

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”

I love my fluoride. I bathe in it, I eat it, I drink it, I put it on the lawn, and give it to my dog. A joyous aspect is that I get to retain much of the fluoride in my body and on my lawn, forever. Help me to keep water fluoridation: “Censor the Science on Fluoride.”

    I’m in disbelief that we are still discussing why a neurotoxin should be added to our drinking water. After over 70 peer reviewed studies proving that children born to women who ingested fluoridated water during pregnancy have lower IQs (up to 5+ points), we can no longer tolerate this forced poisonous medication.

            Considering that Fluoride has been shown by peer reviewed Scientific studies to lower IQ and damage health in a variety of ways its not a conspiracy. The worst thing is that it does not even improve dental health unless ingested between a very narrow age range, while its deleterious effects happen at all age ranges.
            It would be safer to give it to children specifically in a medical setting if dental health is your aim

      Its kinda insane that people refuse to allow the public to vote on something that is of such little worth and such potential danger.

      Even if there was no potential danger the benefits are almost zero compared to teaching your kids to brush and floss and reduce sugar intake

    At one time Heroine and Cocaine were added to over the counter cold medicines and soft drinks and recommended by doctors and pharmacists. DDT was once advertised as safe to spray on children to keep the flies off. Cigarettes were once advertised as being preferred by this doctor or that doctor. Glyphosate was once aggressively advertised as completely benign and safe (we now know it causes cancer). All it takes is a quick look at the science of fluoride and how it interacts with human biology to see how putting in water is just as bad an idea as all the things I listed above. Take a quick look at the history of who benefits financially from water fluoridation programs and any intelligent person can begin to connect the dots very quickly.

    Yet, here we are, tax payer money funding the dosing of people with a neurotoxin.

    I think it is about time people ask themselves some hard questions about trusting government regulatory agencies and ‘public health’ programs.

    Despite increases in public water fluoridation, dental visits, sealants, fluoride varnish applications, and significant financial, training, and program investments, oral health hasn’t improved in 22 years in the US, according to a National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) Oral Health in America Report (December 2021). Further, there is no dispute that fluoride is neurotoxic, especially to babies’ developing brains. Fluoridation promoters would have you believe a little brain poison is worth saving one cavity over a lifetime.

    A new UK study, entitled CATFISH, shows a modest cavity reduction of 4% and 3% in 5-year-olds and 11-year-
    old’s, respectively over their lifetimes, between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas and admits disparities persist.

    NIDCR reports little improvement since the 2000 US Surgeon General’s Oral Health report revealed “a silent epidemic” and its now-failed Call to Action “to eliminate oral health disparities.”

    For example, the NIDCR reports:

    ·  The military continues to face challenges in meeting recruitment goals and military readiness because of oral health-related issues.
    ·  Untreated cavities among the poor remain twice that of non-poor. Disparities persist by race/ethnicity status.
    ·  Primary tooth decay increased in boys aged 6-11 and didn’t change in adolescents’ and adults’ permanent teeth.
    ·  Untreated decay in permanent teeth shows no progress.
    ·  In ages 2-11, decayed tooth surfaces increased with a greater impact on boys
    ·  Four out of 5 Americans aged 6 years and older experience cavities, irrespective of poverty or race/ethnicity status.
    ·  40% of children have eroded teeth. 

    NIDCR admits vitamin D deficiency is a cavity risk. But the ADA turned this nutritional deficiency into a profitable fluoride drug treatment (Nutrients 2021). Forty-two percent of Americans are vitamin D deficient. None are fluoride-deficient. 

    Ingested fluoride, neither a nutrient nor essential, is ineffective at reducing tooth decay and is harmful to health. Like all drugs, fluoride has adverse side effects. Tooth decay crises are occurring in all fluoridated towns, villages, cities and states

    It shouldn’t be legal for lobbied legislators to prescribe anything to their constituents, deliver it by public water supply (mixed with other chemicals), then dosed based on thirst instead of age, health, weight and need.

    80% of Dallas Population is over 18 years old and Pro-Fluoridation Dr. Williams DDS states clearly in video when speaking and informing the Dallas City Council April 27, 2016, Fluoridation does not do ANY good for teeth after they are formed–

    Eight CM should have voted NO to purchase the HFS after this clear statement from one of the Founding Dallas Fluoridation Lobbyists-

    Better more effective, proven workable programs could have been implemented to help fight tooth decay–

    Here SEVEN years later the Mayor and Council still gets Copy/Paste ADA propaganda from the DWU (while DWU hides it comes from the ADA)

    US and UK Reports Reveal Fluoridation Futile

    A new UK study, entitled CATFISH, shows a modest cavity reduction of 4% and 3% in 5-year-olds and 11-year-old’s, respectively over their lifetimes, between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas and admits disparities persist.

    Fluoride chemicals are added to about 74% of US public drinking water supplies ostensibly to prevent tooth decay in tap water drinkers. But after 77 years of fluoridation, 50% of US 6-8 year-olds still have cavities, according to the CDC. Fifty-seven percent of adolescents aged 12-19 years have cavities (Journal of Public Health Dentistry). Seventy percent of US children and adolescents are afflicted with fluoride overdose – dental fluorosis – white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth – according to published federal data (NHANES) creating a new market for cosmetic dentistry.

    Recently, the State College Borough Water Authority in Pennsylvania, made up of scientifically trained professionals representing various aspects of water quality, source water protections, engineering and business management, voted to reject fluoridation unanimously after members read the science and didn’t just rely on outdated and unscientific endorsements. 
      
    They criticized fluoridationists who “misrepresented and discredited the scientific evidence”

    America’s shockingly poor dental system, poverty and poor diets are to blame Fluoridation can’t fix that.

    Dallas City Councilman District 7, Adam Bazaldua is the Chair of Quality of Life, Arts and Culture.
    In December, CM Bazaldua requested the DWU have a Briefing on Fluoridation, but they could not in December or January because they needed more time to prepare.

    January 17, 2023 I was told by Deputy City Manager Kim Tolbert and DWU Director Terry Lowery an Open Public Briefing was being planned for February.
    It was discussed during a video meeting I had with both of them, as DCM Tolbert expressed they both work at the pleasure of the Council and Council requested this Open Public Hearing. When DCM Tolbert asked Lowery of the date in February, Lowery said no date set yet.

    HOW Long does it take “to get prepared” to Brief the Council and the Public about a program that has been going on for almost 60 years? A program that the Public has been questioning LOUDLY for TEN YEARS!

    An Open Public Briefing has been REQUESTED many, many times- the requests were ignored or out right denied. This time they are dragging their feet on announcing a date.

    We all need to let CM Adam Bazaldula know we appreciate his requesting this OPEN PUBLIC HEARING where Scientists, Dentists, Biologists, Doctors and the Public that OPPOSE Fluoridation can bring SCIENCE and Comments Publicly forward.

    These experts need to KNOW the Date, IN FEBRUARY, as soon as possible to so they can put it on their busy calendar!!

    She promotes Water Fluoridation and does not present the risks–

    “Researchers say healthy thyroid function is crucial for fetal brain development and their latest research may explain earlier findings looking at fluoride and children’s IQA new study (Hall, et al., 2023) led by scientists from Toronto’s York University in the journal Science of the Total Environment linked fluoride exposure with an increased risk of hypothyroidism in pregnant women. Fluoridated water was the main source of fluoride in the cohort. The study also looked at a smaller subset of participants with IQ test results in the children and found that mothers who had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism had boys with lower IQ scores than mothers with normal thyroid function. 
     
    Entitled, Fluoride Exposure And Hypothyroidism In A Canadian Pregnancy Cohort, the study discovered that a half-milligram-per liter increase in drinking water fluoride levels–roughly the difference in exposure level between the fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities–was associated with a 1.65 increase in odds of having a diagnosis or meeting criteria for hypothyroidism in pregnancy.
     
    According to one study author, clinical neuropsychologist Christine Till, PhD, “The findings are concerning because hypothyroidism is a known cause of brain-based disorders in children.” (York press release) 
     
    The study’s authors say they hope that policy makers will consider this new research when evaluating the safety of community water fluoridation. They say that the fluoride compounds added to tap water are a major source of fluoride exposure for over 200-million people in North America, since approximately four in 10 Canadians and seven out of 10 Americans on public water supplies have fluoridated drinking water. 
     
    Women in general are more at risk of developing hypothyroidism, a condition that can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain and depression. In pregnancy, the demands put on the thyroid system increase substantially, especially in the first trimester when the fetus is solely reliant on maternal thyroid hormones. 
     
    The study followed more than 1,500 women participating in a multi-year study called the Maternal Infant Research On Environmental Chemicals (MIRECstudy, led by Health Canada to investigate the impact of environmental chemicals on vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and infants. Women were recruited from 10 cities across Canada, seven of which have fluoridated drinking water. The study’s authors only included women who reported drinking tap water during pregnancy, and they followed participants throughout pregnancy, and followed their children into early childhood.
     
    While fluoride’s ability to suppress the thyroid has been known since the 1930s when it was used to treat overactive thyroid–also known as hyperthyroidism–the mechanism by which fluoride may interfere with thyroid function is not entirely clear. The study’s lead author, Meaghan Hall, said that it may interfere with certain enzymes and iodine absorption, which is critical for thyroid hormone production. 

    This study is the strongest to date showing that fluoride causes hypothyroidism, as well as that the mother’s hypothyroidism is associated with lower IQ in the child. 
     
    It adds to a growing body of evidence that fluoride exposures from artificially fluoridated water is sufficient to impair thyroid function. Earlier studies finding an effect were in a study of nearly the entire population of England [Peckham 2015]; a large nationally representative sample from Canada using the CHMS survey [Malin 2018]; a case-control study in Iran [Kheradpisheh 2018]; and in a large sample of children in China where mean water and urine fluoride levels are only slightly higher than in areas with artificial fluoridation [Wang 2020].
     
    Two studies have not found an association between fluoride at levels relevant to fluoridation and decreased thyroid function, but both suffered limitations that may explain why they did not detect effects [Barberio 2017, Shaik 2019]. The Barberio 2017 study did not consider iodine intake and the Shaik 2019 study selected only children with optimal iodine intake. The Malin 2018 study reanalyzed the same sample as Barberio 2017 but controlled for iodine and found that in those with iodine insufficiency fluoride exposure increased hypothyroidism. This could also explain why no effect was found in the Shaik 2019 study that was restricted to only children with optimal iodine intake.
     
    This latest study’s authors also say fluoride levels in tap water may be a more reliable indicator of long-term fluoride exposure than urinary levels, which might better correlate with short-term exposure, they say

    Why is it so hard for people to trust the ones who care and provide for us? I for one am grateful that people better and smarter than me are making decisions for me and my health and you can take that one to the bank.

      Interesting.
      Thanks Rusty for sharing how you personally prefer to have technocrats control your life, health and well being…for them to force and dictate what medicines that you swallow.

      I find your comment and its “trust” aspect very insightful.

      Mr. Shackleford I was not sure at first if you were kidding–then I thought of my visit with Cara Mendelson,
      the Dallas City Council Representative in District 12. I went to talk to her about the “risks” of Fluoridation, requesting her help to get it on the May Ballot.

      She was very clear she will only “Put Fluoridation on the Ballot if -The CDC or the Surgeon General says to Stop Fluoridation”… She trusts them and thinks they are looking out for our good.

      Mr. Shackleford, you are entitled to your opinion–
      But CM Mendelson on the other hand needs to do her job and “represent” her district with more than “blind trust”

      EXCERPT
      The U.S. National Toxicology Program has released a long-delayed controversial review of the science behind claims that fluoride reduces IQ in children.
