Fluoride linked to bone cancer
THE fluoride issue is bigger than Ben Hur.
I always knew that fluoride was detrimental to our health and for this reason have always avoided it but I did not realise the full extent of the dangers until I recently started to research it.
The expensive little booklet that has been distributed to our homes on the pretence of, and I quote “to provide balanced and factual information”, fails to give balanced facts, fails to inform consumers of the potential dangers and known health issues associated with fluoride. For a start, fluoride is not just occurring in teeth, it is also found in skeletal bones of people who have been poisoned with fluoride and is suspected of being a precursor to osteo-sarcome, which is bone cancer. At present 11 unions in America, consisting of about 7000 members are petitioning Congress and asking for a moratorium on fluoride because of the suspected relationship to osteo-sarcome, bone cancer. Just as a matter of interest, I examined boxes of fluoride tablets in a local chemist and noted the dosages for each age group. There were no dosages listed for six months of age and under so I phoned the 1800 number on the package and asked what dose I give a baby under six months of age. I was told by the consumer advice person that it is not recommended that babies under six months have fluoride at all. When I asked why that was, he said “because it allows for normal bone formation up until that time”. This puts formula fed babies at even greater risk. Fluoride is a toxic poison, so much so, that it is trapped in the smoke stacks at the fertiliser factories so that it does not escape into the atmosphere. Fluoride mouthwash as directed should be “swirled around the mouth and spat out. The precaution “Do not swallow” is also printed on the bottle. Toothpaste, as we have all been taught, is to brush teeth with and spit out before rinsing. Most mothers know instinctively to teach their children not to swallow toothpaste. I have the right to refuse medication and treatment from doctors and hospitals as I choose. I cannot be forced to accept treatment I dont want. Mass medication is dangerous and infringes on our right to choose. To top it all off, the Victorian Government unanimously passed a new Fluoridation Act on the October 28, 1993. This changed the Victorian Constitution which now reads” “The Supreme Court of Victoria is prohibited from entertaining a case against fluoridation” (Hansard).
What are they scared of if it is so safe and so good for us?
