Fluoride Poisoning – With Comments from Dr. Gordon
By Linda on Jan 28, 2011 in F.I.G.H.T.
Fluoride poisoning is the real problem contributing to a population of tired people whose thyroid function is compromised by iodine deficiency, which Fluorine aggravates.
This “news” that the federal government finally sees a little bit about the need to lower the level in water is just the tip of the iceberg. This, like vaccines, is hard to stop no matter how much damage these public health measures do to some. From the attached you will see that:
“Federal health officials have called fluoridation one of the 10 great public-health achievements of the 20th century, saying it significantly cuts the rate of cavities and saves money.
But for years, some groups have called for an end to fluoridation, arguing that it poses serious health dangers, including increased risk of bone fractures and of decreased thyroid function. Friday’s announcement did little to appease such critics.
“The only rational course of action is to stop water fluoridation,” said Paul Connett, executive director of the Fluoride Action Network, a nonprofit advocacy and fluoride-education group.
I point out that the fluorine industry would have to pay millions to bury this poisonous by-product of mining aluminum so there is little or no chance we will ever get rid of it. But we must continue to fight this issue.
See the January issue of Townsend article by Gary Null to learn how bad this fluorine issue is for us. It may help explain why some very well informed doctors are taking and recommending to their patients 50 milligrams not micrograms of iodine daily to fight back.

•Health JANUARY 8, 2011Government Advises Less Fluoride in Water
By TIMOTHY W. MARTIN
The federal government lowered its recommended limit on the amount of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in nearly 50 years, saying that spots on some children’s teeth show they are getting too much of the mineral.
Fluoride has been added to U.S. water supplies since 1945 to prevent tooth decay. Since 1962, the government has recommended adding a range of 0.7 milligrams to 1.2 milligrams per liter.
But federal officials said Friday they would move the recommended limit to 0.7 milligrams per liter, or the bottom end of the current range, because people are getting more fluoride these days from other sources, such as toothpaste, mouthwash, prescription fluoride supplements, and fluoride treatments given by dentists.
A study conducted between 1999 and 2004 by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 41% of children between the ages of 12 and 15 exhibited signs of dental fluorosis, a spotting or streaking on the teeth. That was up from nearly 23% found in a study from 1986 and 1987.
The CDC believes the increase is due mostly to children swallowing toothpaste with fluoride when they brush their teeth.
