Much research on the effects of fluorides on human physiology was done by

the Mellon Institute, under contract with major corporations that produce

fluoride. Because of the policies of Mellon, which does not allow the

decades of research to be accessed by the public except with express

permission of those companies who contract with it, the data is not

available to the public. However, there are literally thousands of

scientific studies which list physiological effects of fluorides. There

are no credible scientific studies which demonstrate that fluorides are

safe to ingest. Studies which are paid for by parties who manufacture

fluorides, products containing fluorides or have a vested interest in

maintaining the status quo are invalid because of a conflict of interest.

You cannot trust the fox to guard the henhouse.

Animal Studies and Carryover to Human Expectation

Literally thousands of studies are available on the physiological effects

of fluorides on animals and humans. However, toxicity studies are chiefly

carried out on animals. One of the immediate questions that arises is the

relevance of animal studies to humans. A 1995 study, Neurotoxicity of

Sodium Fluoride on Rats [ 1 ] , indicates that "experience with other

developmental neurotoxicants prompts expectations that changes in

behavioral functions will be comparable across species, especially humans

and rats." [ 2 ] The reason that rats appear to be used, rather than mice,

is that rats have a higher resistance to toxins and will not manifest

symptoms as readily. Logic then tells us that if rats are affected, the

potential for human damage is at least as great.

Human Considerations With Fluorides

Fluorides have been added to public water supplies for more than 40 years.

Even looking at the issue on a superficial level, dental fluorosis has

been on the rise in the mass population since the 1960's [ 3 ], which is

an indicator that the total amount of fluoride intake, including water

fluoridation, is has been on a serious level for some time. Exposures to

dietary fluoride easily exceed 100 parts per million (ppm); toothpastes,

which are packaged in aluminum tubes [ 4 ] ,contain 1000 to 1500 ppm

fluoride [ 5 ] .

Mouthrinses contain 230-900 ppm [ 6 ] . Store-bought juices can contain

2.8 ppm fluoride [ 7 ], a fact which even the American Dental Association

admits [ 8 ]. However, biological effects are apparent at even lower

levels [ 9 ] , and fluorides are accumulative in the brain [ 10 ], with

the effects on behavior related directly to plasma fluoride levels [ 11 ].

Thus, there are studies which directly contradict claims by proponents

that fluorides do not pass the blood-brain barrier [ 12 ] which only

reflect short-term situations. Fluorides are cumulative, and short-term

studies are specifically designed by proponents in a weak attempt to

circumvent biological data [ 13 ]. Research indicates that agencies like

the AMA and ADA were reasonably honest about the issue prior to 1945,

before corporate pressure apparently forced them to "get in line".

According to the AMA on September 18, 1943, "fluorides are general

protoplasmic poisons, with the capacity to modify the metabolism of cells

by inhibiting certain enzymes. Sources of fluorine intoxication include

drinking water containing 1ppm or more of fluorine" [ 14 ]. Amazing, isn't

it? Even the ADA was honest about the issue back then, on October 1, 1944,

when it said, "drinking water containing as little as 1.2 ppm fluoride

will cause developmental disturbances ... we cannot run the risk of

producing such serious systemic disturbances. In light of our present

knowledge of the chemistry of the subject, the potentialities for harm

outweigh those for good "[ 15 ]. So, since the properties of fluorides

haven't changed, and the nature of human physiology haven't changed, why

do they maintain today that it causes "no harm"? What's wrong with this

picture? Since everything in society flows from the top down, we can only

assume that governmental agency pressure is the reason. In fact, that is

precisely the case, but why in God's name would that want to do that?

Since acquisition of reports on the behavior effects of fluorides on the

brain from U.S. sources is quite difficult, most of the reports (but not

all) are from foreign research. Chinese investigations have found that

levels of fluoride in water from 3-1 ppm affect the nervous system

directly without first causing physical deformations from skeletal

fluorosis [ 16 ].

Experiments on Rats and Fluorides

In rats exposed to 100 ppm fluoride for six weeks, starting at the age of

three months, fluoride levels increased in the medulla oblongata in both

sexes, and in the hippocampus of females, the sex with significant

behavioral disturbances [ 17 ].It is a matter of fact that the hippocampus

is neurologically considered to be the "central processor" in the brain

which integrates inputs from the environment, memory, and motivational

stimuli to produce behavioral decisions and modify memory [ 18 ]. Humans

are exposed to plasma levels of fluoride as high as those found in rat

studies [ 19 ], and considering water and food products containing

fluoride are given to babies and young children, it involves interruption

of normal brain development [ 20 ] and subsequent interference in the way

a human being perceives and is able to react to the environment, including

social situations of tyranny and domination.

Furthermore, generic behavioral pattern disruption as found in rat studies

can be indicative of a potential for motor dysfunction, intelligence

deficits and learning disabilities in humans [ 21 ]. As far as

accumulation of fluorides in the brain is concerned, with rats it was

found, in one case, that six weeks of consuming 75 and 100 ppm fluoride

produced a higher plasma fluoride level than did 125 ppm [ 22 ]. So,

long-term accumulation of low doses has a significant effect. The medical

establishment knew this in 1944, because they specifically said that

levels above 1ppm were dangerous. Why, then, was the "optimum level" for

water fluoridation (never mind the higher levels in foods and juices) set

at 1ppm? Why would the World Health Organization have a target of

fluoridating water supplies planetwide by the year 2000? [ 23 ] Why does

the Clinton administration push so hard to have the United States

completely fluoridated by the year 2000? Why does Mexico add 250 mg of

potassium fluoride to the salt consumed by the population? [ 24 ] Why in

1996 is the U.S. sending proponents of fluoridation to Scotland and

England to help quell the justifiable concerns of the public, who are

being termed "civil rights activists"?

More Human Studies

The Chinese have been a great souce of information on the effect of

fluorides on the intelligence of children. A study done in 1995 by Li of

907 children demonstrated that "the IQ of children living in areas of

fluorosis was lower than areas where there was no fluorosis"[ 25 ].

According to the Li study, "it appears that the influence of a fluoride

environment on the development of intelligence may occur early in

development, such as the stages of embryonic life or infancy, when the

differentiation and growth of the nervous system is most rapid." [ 26 ]

Furthermore, "active and comprehensive measures should be taken to reduce

the fluoride intake by the population." [ 27 ] If we are already getting

an overdose from the environment, why do we need it added to the water?

The practice, even in terms of simple logic, is no defensible in any

shape, way or manner. Lastly, the Li study concludes with, "this suggests

that developing brain tissues are sensitive to fluorides." [ 28 ]

Other Chinese studies support the work by Li [ 29 ]. Since fluoride levels

in the body are cumulative, and fluoride intake lowers intelligence, the

end result is a population with little ability to evolve, or for that

matter with little ability to recognize or challenge tyranny. Since many

countries have banned fluoridation [ 30 ], and those countries are the

same ones who have less tendency to dominate the population than the ones

who do fluoridate, the picture is becoming clear. Since studies which

claim that fluorides prevent cavities are contracted by parties with a

conflict of interest, and there is no credible scientific evidence to

suggest that it does [ 31 ], one can only conclude that there is another

purpose for fluorides to be added to the water and food. One of the many

reasons they can get away with this is because of the paradoxical effect

of the effect of toxins on biological systems. There is not a linear

dose-response relationship [ 32 ]. What this means is that a small amount

of fluoride concentration has a great effect. Orthodox media and science

tells the public that a linear effect is the only observable phenomena.

They're lying. Meanwhile, social behavior getting more bizarre, producing

crime ... and requiring a calculated totalitarian response. As the total

accumulation of fluorides is approaching a toxic level, we see all sorts

of phyiological phenomena in progress. Even gastrointestinal problems and

acid-stomach is produced by fluoridated water [ 33 ].

Use of Fluorides By the Nazi's and Soviets

Get ready for a shock. Fluorides have already been used in the 20th

century for the purpose of deliberately making populations submissive and

less likely to question authority.

At the end of the World War II, the United States Government sent Charles

E. Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and

pathology, to take charge of the vast I.G. Farben chemical plants in

Germany [ 34 ]. While there, Perkins was told by German chemists of a

scheme which had been worked out by them during the war and adopted by the

German General Staff, which was to control the population in any given

area through mass medication of drinking water [ 35 ]. In this scheme,

sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place. Repeated doses of infinitesmal

amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an indivdual's power to resist

domination by slowly poisoning and narcotising a certain area of the

brain, and will make him submissive to the will of those who wish to

govern him [ 36 ]. The social effect was that it made it more difficult

for a person to defend his freedom. Both the Germans and Soviets (1940)

added sodium fluoride to the drinking water of prisoners of war to make

them stupid and docile [ 37 ]. It is also a well known fact among breeders

of purebred bulls that the administration of fluorides makes the bull more

submissive and easier to handle [ 38 ].

According to Senator Ambruster in his magnificent tome Treason's Peace -

German Dyes and American Dupes (1947), one of the largest producers of

fluorides as a hazardous waste by-product was the Aluminium Company of

America (ALCOA), who had a 1931 agreement with I.G. Farben in Germany, as

did Dow Chemical Company (1933) to restrict American production of

materials vital to the U.S. war effort. Other companies such as Imperial

Chemical Industries (ICI, England), DuPont, Standard Oil (Rockefeller, who

contributed war materials and money to Hitler), American Cyanamid and

Sterling-Winthrop-Bayer were Farben associates. Indictments were filed

against several of these companies on January 30, 1941, covering

conspiracy, but inside forces spent so much effort at softening up the

Justice Department (which is still corrupt today) to prevent prosecution

that by April 15, 1942, all the defendants pleaded nolo contendre ("oh,

well, what if we did?") and paid fines of $25,000 each. It is also a fact

that I.G. Farben itself was indicted, but the case never came to court.

Some of Farben's leading subsidiaries in the U.S. were General Aniline and

Film (GAF), American I.G., and Bayer, but it was their associate ALCOA

which figured prominently in the introduction of fluoride wastes from

aluminum production (difficult of dispose of), quickly joined by LCI

(Florida) and other fertilizer industries who had fluoride by-products

classified by the EPA as hazardous waste [ 39 ].

According to scientist Charles Perkins, in a 1954 letter to the Lee

Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

"We are told by the fanatical ideologists who are advocating the

fluoridation of the water supplies in this country that their purpose is

to reduce the incidence of tooth decay in children, and it is the

plausibility of this excuse, plus the gullability of the public and the

cupidity of public officials that this is responsible for the present

spread of artificial water fluoridation in this country. However, and I

want to make this very definite and very positive: the real reason behind

water fluoridation is not to benefit children's teeth. If this were the

real reason, there are many ways in which it could be done that are much

easier, cheaper and far more effective. The real purpose behind water

fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination,

control and loss of liberty. When the Nazis decided to go into Poland, the

German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific

and military ideas, plans and personnel, and also the sheme of mass

control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists

because it fitted ideally into their plan to Communize the world. I say

this with all earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spend

nearly 20 years research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and

pathology of fluorine -- any person who drinks artificially fluoridated

water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same

person, mentally or physically." [ 40 ]
