The Fluoride Debacle By Robert C. Dickson, MD, CCFP, FCFP & Dr. Jim Beck

Consider this: If we as physicians were to prescribe to patients we know nothing about, including their age, medical history, physical status, disease state, immune system viability or tolerance for medicines, a medically active, unproven and vaguely sanctioned drug at uncontrolled doses and tell them to take as much as they want for the rest of their lives while not monitoring the side effects, how long would we be practicing medicine before our licenses were revoked? The answer, of course, is not for very long. Unfortunately, many North Americans are unaware that this is exactly what is happening when they sanction spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ dollars each year to add the volatile toxin hydrofluosilicic acid to our otherwise decent drinking water.
