Fluoride has been within the information recently and never in a great way.
Dentistry has praised the flexibility of fluoride to scale back tooth decay- nevertheless it has come at a really excessive value for our society. And, many individuals in authorities and in teams we have now put our belief have turned a blind eye to the damages fluoride has wrought within the mind in addition to all through your entire physique.
FAN vs the EPA
Seven years in the past, below the Poisonous Substances Management Act of 1976 (TSCA), the Fluoride Motion Community (FAN), Mothers Towards Fluoridation, Meals and Water Watch, The American Academy of Environmental Drugs, The Worldwide Academy of Environmental Drugs and Toxicology, and a number of other people representing each themselves and their kids petitioned the U.S. Environmental Safety Company (EPA) in 2016 to finish the addition of fluoridation chemical compounds into U.S. ingesting water attributable to fluoride’s neurotoxicity. The EPA denied the petition. Underneath TSCA, residents are allowed to petition the EPA to judge whether or not a chemical presents an unreasonable threat to public well being or prone populations.
The federal Nationwide Toxicology Program, an arm of the Division of Well being and Human Providers, did a scientific overview of the analysis and concluded that sure, fluoride is a neurotoxin. The NTP began this overview in 2016 and launched its closing report in Could 2024. This overview discovered there was certainly a big physique of analysis proof that confirmed fluoride publicity is “constantly related to decrease IQ in kids“.
The wheels of justice flip slowly however flip they do. Final month, after seven lengthy years weaving its manner by way of the court docket system, on September twenty fourth 2024 Senior Decide Edward Chen of america District Court docket of the Northern District of California dominated that water fluoridation does current an “unreasonable threat” to the well being of kids. The EPA will now be required to control fluoride as a well being hazard. They can’t ignore the chance.
The attorneys for FAN have been capable of set up by a preponderance of the proof that fluoride at ranges we have now presently in our ingesting water (0.7 mg/L) impacts the cognitive perform of our unborn infants. The analysis constantly reveals that water fluoridation reduces the IQ of our unborn infants and younger kids from one to seven factors.
The Trial Truths Got here Out
Throughout trial, the EPA trial specialists have been compelled to confess:
#1. As of 2019, The EPA admitted it had no research that proved a creating fetus was secure from the neurotoxicity of fluoride. The EPA solely had research displaying hurt to the fetus. Fluoride passes by way of the placenta and the blood-brain barrier.
#2. The Heart for Illness Management (CDC) Oral Well being Division Director, Casey Hannan needed to admit his company agreed with the Nationwide Analysis Council 2006 findings that fluorides “intervene with the perform of the mind and physique by direct and oblique means.” The individual in command of oral well being on the CDC KNEW fluoride affected the mind again in 2006, but did nothing with this data!
The 2006 committee that put collectively this report was instructed by the EPA to overview well being results identified solely with “whole certainty”. The committee was additional “misdirected” by the EPA to not decide a secure degree of fluoride and to not focus on silicofluorides. (The fluoride utilized in our water programs is a poisonous waste by-product of the fertilizer firms moist scrubbers. It’s not prescription fluoride.) The NRC committee knew 20 years in the past that fluoride affected the mind, the endocrine system, the thyroid gland, bones, dementia and anatomical mind adjustments, the pineal gland, insulin, fertility, the immune system and a lot extra. They knew then that fluoride was hazardous to the human physique.
I invite everybody who needs to overview the report on fluoride in our water to learn this virtually 20 12 months previous very revealing report. The ultimate line of the abstract of a overview of this report:
“The really helpful Most Contaminant Degree Aim (MCLG) for fluoride in ingesting
water needs to be zero.”
#3. Dr Karen Thiessen, a threat evaluation scientist and member of the 2006 NRC committee that reviewed and authored this report acknowledged that the EPA knew and was ignoring the neurotoxic dangers water fluoridation posed to the general public. Acknowledging these dangers would have required the EPA to cease water fluoridation. She additionally famous that the proof proving fluoride was extra neurotoxic than different toxins the EPA already regulated.
#4. The Decide delayed the trial as a result of he was ready for the ultimate Nationwide Toxicology program monograph the evaluation of the analysis that the NPT had began in 2016- The NTP monograph report was delayed, stalled, and hidden from viewing by the plaintiffs by the order of Assistant Well being Secretary, Rachel Levine “till additional discover”. By the Freedom of Info Act, the plaintiffs have been capable of have the draft model of the report launched for his or her viewing which allowed the choose to set a brand new trial date.
#5. The American Dental Affiliation (ADA) was saved within the loop concerning the contents of the report and was given the NTP draft to overview so they may work to discredit it, whereas neither the general public nor the plaintiffs have been allowed to see the draft.
Outcomes of Decide Chen’s Ruling
I’ve learn Senior Decide Edward Chen’s 80-page ruling on water fluoridation. The choose did his due diligence and gave the proof his full and considerate overview. He learn the research and understood the significance of this case. Decide Chen closing ruling:
“The Court docket finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”) – the extent presently thought-about “optimum” in america – poses an unreasonable threat of lowered IQ in kids…the Court docket finds there’s an unreasonable threat of such harm, a threat ample to require the EPA to have interaction with a regulatory response.”
“In all, there’s substantial and scientifically credible proof establishing that fluoride poses a threat to human well being; it’s related to a discount within the IQ of kids and is hazardous at dosages which might be far too near fluoride ranges within the ingesting water of america…Diminished IQ poses critical hurt. Research have linked IQ decrements of even one or two factors to, e.g., lowered academic attainment, employment standing, productiveness, and earned wages.”
The choose confirmed that water fluoridation, on the present degree of 0.7mg/L is hazardous. Through the trial, the EPA’s personal professional acknowledged that fluoride was hazardous “at some degree”. The analysis introduced on the trial confirmed fluoride crossed the placenta and that it did certainly hurt the brains of unborn infants, decreasing their IQ. In all, 72 epidemiological research have been introduced. A big majority of those research confirmed these outcomes. Of the 19 high-quality research, 18 of them constantly confirmed fluoride lowered IQ. The research are listed in Decide Chen’s report if you want to overview them.
Analysis by Dr. Phillipe Grandjean et al confirmed that the mind improvement of the unborn was affected even on the low degree of 0.2mg/L of fluoride. This analysis confirmed that for each 0.28mg/L of fluoride within the mom’s urine, the child’s IQ decreased one level. Most moms had a fluoride urine focus of 0.8 mg/L to 1.89mg/L.
On the finish of the trial, it was confirmed that fluoride within the water poses a hazard. As soon as a chemical is deemed a hazard, there must be a margin of security of at the least 10x to guard probably the most our most susceptible. populations. ( ex: Those that can not excrete fluoride I.E. kidney sufferers, in addition to athletes who drink heaps extra water, infants who drink components made out of faucet water.) The NTP report set the hazard degree at 1.5mg/L, and our waters are 0.7mg/L which is simply a 2x degree. To be on the 10x degree, our fluoride needs to be lowered to a degree of 0.15mg/L to get us all the way down to a secure degree.
It was decided by Dr. John Featherstone, a premier dental caries illness researcher in his analysis revealed in 1999, that water fluoridation doesn’t cut back tooth decay- that the results of the fluoride in our water truly work “post-eruptive and topically”. The Heart for Illness Management repeated this of their CDC MMWR August 2001 report: “fluoride’s predominant impact is posteruptive and topical”.
Why are we nonetheless fluoridating our water? We now have identified for a reality it is a toxic and unsafe chemical, particularly to probably the most susceptible in our society. Why was the federal government working so laborious to cover the outcomes of its personal evaluation? Who advantages from fluoridation?
This has all occurred earlier than…
Fluoride was a part of the federal government’s secret bomb-making project- The Manhattan Challenge – in the1940s and 50s. It was used to counterpoint uranium in making the atomic bomb. Paperwork declassified in 2010 revealed all the identical lies, hidden analysis, ache, destruction of native farming communities, devastating sicknesses affecting manufacturing unit staff, and misinformation to cover the truths. Madison Avenue promoting geniuses have been employed to make fluoride look secure. The dental group was utilized by the federal government to reassure the inhabitants fluoride was good for them. And all of it labored.
For a riveting learn, I invite you to the e-book by Christopher Bryson- The Fluoride Deception. Chances are you’ll by no means belief the federal government once more. After the lies, obfuscation, and deceit of the present people in energy in our EPA, CDC, and HHS, I wouldn’t blame you.
Please be a part of me on October seventeenth as I converse on oral well being and fluoride on the on-line Biocidin Oral Well being Summit. Oral Well being Summit (biocidin.com) I’d like to see you there!
