I’ve had quite a long letter against fluoridation “Fears over Fluoride” published in June’s “What Doctors Don’t Tell You” (WDDTY) mag.   It’s published many good articles on water fluoridation dangers.   It’s a very interesting read with 66 pages this month, & they write on the harm from some medical drugs & procedures, & toxic chemicals.  They also write on healthy food & beneficial vitamin supplements etc.   Visit:  www.wddty.com   I receive a paper edition by post once a month, which reports things you don’t read anywhere else!

Fluoride in Drinking Water, Diet, and Urine in Relation to Bone Mineral Density and Fracture Incidence in Postmenopausal Women

Introduction

Exposure to fluoride occurs mainly through drinking water, which may include fluoride from natural sources and fluoride added to prevent tooth decay. Naturally occurring fluoride concentrations can vary substantially, from insignificant to well above the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended limit of 1.5mg/L (WHO 2006), whereas the concentration in artificially fluoridated water is typically around 

0.7mg/L (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Panel on Community Water Fluoridation 2015). Although low levels of fluoride are beneficial for oral health, the therapeutic range is narrow, and it is well established that individuals living in areas with high naturally occurring fluoride have an increased risk of dental and skeletal fluorosis (the former a result of early life exposure) (NRC 2006). Because of its ability to induce bone formation (Farley et al. 1983), the antifracture effect of fluoride was extensively studied in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the early 1990s. However, although high-dose fluoride therapy increased bone mineral density (BMD), it had no effect on the overall vertebral fracture rate, and it increased the risk of nonvertebral fractures (Haguenauer et al. 2000; Riggs et al. 1990)............ 

Conclusion

The risk of hip fractures was increased among Swedish women who had the highest levels of urine fluoride excretion and the highest estimated fluoride intake from beverages and food relative to women with the lowest levels of each exposure. Our findings, which are consistent with the effects of high fluoride exposures observed in RCTs (resulting in a denser but more fragile skeleton), suggest that long-term consumption of tap water with a fluoride concentration of 1mg/L, which is below the 1.5mg/L maximum concentration recommended by the WHO, may adversely affect bone health in postmenopausal women.

I watch Alex Jones show every day. It pays to as Conspiracy theories often turn out to be true. Hal Turner warned his listeners to buy gold as all the banks were insolvent long before the public were told. Alex warned of the rush to buy food and delivery slots long before it happened. I bought my slot for the year because of his advice.

“What Doctors Don’t Tell You” (WDDTY) April 2021.  “WHY DOCTORS TRUST DRUGS THAT ARE DEADLY” by Bryan Hubbard.

There’s a dark side to the lucrative market in new medical drugs.  Nearly 1 in 3 of them will kill the patient or cause life-threatening side-effects - despite years of safety trials.  It then takes an average of 7 years before drug regulators act & sometimes a dangerous drug stays on the market for over a decade, before it’s finally banned or an alert is issued.  During that delay, 100s of 1,000s of patients may have been killed or harmed as doctors unwittingly continue prescribing it.  This is often the result of bureaucratic incompetence by the regulator & its cosy relationship with the drug co;  deliberate hiding of inconvenient data, & drug co, executives threatening independent researchers who’ve discovered the drug’s dangers.

 

HOW LONG IT TOOK REGULATORS TO ACT:

Number of years it took the FDA to act on each dangerous drug & the deaths they caused (if reported)

Epoetin -                          13 years to act.

Darbepoetin -                     5 years

.............On making sure that we can expand schemes, subject to funding being secured and consulted on, I want to look at the expansion of fluoridated water. As my hon. Friend said, it is one of the simplest ways that we can improve oral health intervention, and we could significantly improve children’s health across the country. It is unacceptable in this day and age that young children have total dental clearances due to preventable tooth decay. The return on investment on fluoridation is very compelling and there needs to be a renewed focus on the investment in prevention.......................

................Fluoridation of water can play a key preventive role in oral health, and it is very important that changes to the framework under which fluoridation schemes are carried out are accompanied by the capital funding that is necessary for those schemes to actually be put in place. I anticipate that we will consider this matter in more detail over the next few weeks when we debate the Bill. ............

 Professionals Expose CDC's False Safety Claims

& Call on New Director to Protect America’s Children From Fluoride

Today FAN announced (in a media release) that 112 professionals have sent a letter to the new Director of the CDC. They are urging Walensky that, if she is sincere in her claim that under her leadership “science is back” at the agency, then she needs to get qualified experts at the CDC (not associated with the Oral Health Division) to get up-to-speed on the latest scientific studies that indicate that fluoride (at the levels used in water fluoridation programs) poses a risk to both the fetal and infant brain. Then she and the agency should act accordingly.  It is an embarrassment for the USA to be perceived by the rest of the world as being willing to risk our children’s brains for anything let alone a highly questionable benefit to their teeth. The CDC Oral Health Division should not have put us in this horrible position.

We urge our supporters to do three things:

1) send this media release to your local news outlets;

2) share the text of the letter with friends and colleagues, and

3) send a personal letter to Dr. Walensky expressing your concerns about the unscientific and biased nature of the Oral Health Division’s promotion of fluoridation. Her street address is on the professionals’ letter, and her email is: director@cdc.gov  Please copy your letter to the Deputy Director ( acs1@cdc.gov ), the CDC Communications Director ( aws8@cdc.gov ), and your Congressional representative.

Please be polite as Dr. Walensky has a really tough job on her hands right now. Please stress that if she is a friend of science she should be a friend of ours. At the very least, pregnant women and parents and carers, who bottle-feed infants must be warned to avoid fluoridated water.

Thank you for all you are doing to help end this nightmare.

 The Guardian 25.5.21  “8,700 DIED AFTER CATCHING COVID IN HOSPITAL”

The Guardian said official figures provided by NHS trusts showed some 32,307 people had ‘probably or definitely’ contracted Covid-19 while in hospital since March 2020, with 8,747 of them dying.   The patients caught the virus while in hospital being treated for something else.   The Guardian reported that it received data from 81 of England's 126 acute hospital trusts.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The typical unprecedented vaccine takes 12 years to develop, and of all the unprecedented vaccines in development, only 2% are projected to ever make it through all Phase 2 and 3 clinical phases of testing
  • The COVID-19 vaccine was developed with Operation Warp Speed in less than one year, which makes it virtually impossible to assess safety and efficacy, as the vaccine has not been adequately tested
  • Five months into the vaccination campaign, statistics tell a frightening story. Research shows deaths are 15 times higher during the first 14 days after the first COVID injection among people over the age of 60, compared to those who aren't vaccinated
  • Another study shows that after COVID-19 vaccines were implemented, overall death rates have increased, with the exception of a few areas. It appears countries in which COVID-19 vaccines have not raised mortality rates are also not using glyphosate
  • In the next 10 to 15 years, we are likely to see spikes in prion diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases at younger ages, and blood disorders such as blood clots, hemorrhaging, stroke and heart failure

 From Edward Priestley, researcher.

The row over the quality of food imports from USA & Australia goes on, as meat imported from these countries can contain high antibiotic levels & hormones - which were banned by the EU.   UK farmers can’t compete with the industrial scale of farming in USA & Australia.  Australia's biggest meat producing farm says it could increase its exports to UK by 10 times.  Boris & his friends will still be buying their organic food - with £12,500 worth delivered to the back door of No.10 in March.

MPs restaurants at Westminster will still be buying taxpayer-subsidised organic food - as they’ve done for decades.

It’s part of this issue that the UK govt. is planning to follow the US & Australian govts in forcing toxic fluoride waste from the phosphate fertiliser industry on to everyone, in the form of ‘fluoride’ added to tap water - telling the untruth that it helps prevent tooth decay.  The only people this helps is the agrochemical industry to get rid of its toxic waste on the cheap.  Fluoride (hydrofluorosilicic acid from phosphate fertilizer factory chimney scrubbers) is so toxic that it’s very expensive to dispose of safely, but fluoridation allows them to get rid of it into the water supply & receive money for this waste product! 

Due to ethical reasons & health considerations, only a handful of mostly English-speaking nations worldwide fluoridate.

In the recent past mercury was added to some vaccines but was replaced by aluminium & it was stated at the time that vaccines were now safer - which admitted they had not been safe before.   It was, & probably still is, illegal in UK to say or publish what chemicals are in medical drugs & vaccines.  The public would be up-in-arms if they knew what toxic agents are in them.  My leaflets/posters are an attempt to get round this problem by using solvent abuse as the headline but then mentioning medical drugs, fluoride etc., in the hope that people will then do their own research.

How Many Have Died From COVID Vaccines?

 In a May 5, 2021, Fox News report, Tucker Carlson asked the question no one is really allowed to ask: “How many Americans have died after taking the COVID vaccine?”1

If you haven’t paid attention, the answer to this verboten (forbidden) question may shock you. Carlson points out (inaccurately, if you ask me) that vaccines have been shown to be generally safe, citing statistics on how many Americans have died after the seasonal influenza vaccine in recent years.

Each year, more than 165 million Americans get the flu shot, and according to the U.S. vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS), there were 85 reported deaths following influenza vaccination in 2017; 119 deaths in 2018; and 203 deaths in 2019. “How do those rates compare to the death rates from the coronavirus vaccine?” Carlson asks. The answer is, there’s really no comparison.

How Many Have Died From COVID Vaccines?

Between mid-December 2020, when the first COVID-19 shots were rolled out, and April 23, 2021, at which point between 95 million and 100 million Americans had received their COVID-19 shots, there were 3,544 reported deaths following COVID vaccination.2

That’s 182 more deaths than cited by Carlson. As of April 23, 2021, VAERS had also received 12,618 reports of serious adverse events. In total, 118,902 adverse event reports had been filed. If, like Carlson estimates, about 30 people per day are dying from the shots, these numbers will grow by the hundreds each week.

Carlson also cites data from an investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which found that VAERS catches a mere 1% of vaccine injuries,3,4 primarily because it’s a passive system and reports are filed voluntarily.

Many Americans don’t even know that the system exists, or that they can file a report, and most doctors won’t file reports when injuries are brought to their attention because the medical system doesn’t reward such fastidiousness. At most, 10% of vaccine side effects are ever reported to VAERS, according to a 2005 study in the BMJ.5

What this means is that side effects may actually be 10 times or even 100 times higher than reported. We could, in reality, be looking at anywhere from 126,000 to 1.2 million serious side effects, and anywhere from 35,440 to 354,400 vaccine-related deaths.

While Carlson refuses to speculate about what the actual death toll might be, he does stress that what we’re seeing is clearly out of the norm, and by a tremendous margin. In just four months, the COVID-19 vaccines have killed more people than all available vaccines combined from mid-1997 until the end of 2013 — a period of 15.5 years.

Gamble Your Life or Lose Your Freedom?

While the data show there are clear risks, Americans are urged, cajoled, shamed and threatened into getting the shot in any number of ways. President Biden recently warned that people who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 “can still die every day” from the infection, adding “This is your choice: It’s life and death.”

Carlson accurately points out that while unvaccinated people can indeed die of COVID-19, not everyone is at equal risk of complications and death. Old and chronically ill individuals are at greatest risk, while young and/or healthy individuals have a very low risk, and those who have had COVID-19 and recovered are immune.

For those who are young and/or healthy and/or immune, risking death or injury from the “vaccine” doesn’t make much sense. I would argue it makes no sense whatsoever, as there are also several proven-effective treatments, both early at-home treatments and in-hospital treatments. So, there’s no need to risk your health and life by taking COVID gene therapy.

As noted by Carlson, the young, healthy and already immune can add up to hundreds of millions of people in the U.S., yet policy makers are “not even acknowledging that these categories of people exist,” he says.

They’re pretending that everyone’s risk is the same and, therefore, everyone must get vaccinated, or at bare minimum, they want 70% of the American adult population vaccinated by July 4, 2021.

Carlson points out that this policy might be deemed acceptable if it could be conclusively shown that the “vaccines” are safe, and if we had a thorough understanding of the long-term effects of these mRNA and viral vector DNA shots. However, we can’t and we don’t....................

A Plan for the NHS and Social Care

 

Photo of Paul BeresfordPaul Beresford Conservative, Mole Valley  4:31 pm, 19th May 2021

Mr Deputy Speaker, with your ceiling of three minutes, I am going to focus on one aspect of one Bill—namely, the proposal to change the approach to the fluoridation of community water supplies. I am a dentist and a member of the British Fluoridation Society. It is therefore with considerable enthusiasm that I support the proposed change of the procedure for introducing fluoridation of domestic water supplies. Our western nation comparators have between 60% and 80% of their domestic water supplies fluoridated. This country has a shameful 10%.

When I first came to this country as an ethnic minority immigrant, I worked in the national health service in a deprived area of London. I was appalled by the general state of my patients’ teeth, particularly by the state of children’s teeth. Trying to maintain children’s dentition was and still is, as a colleague put it, like trying to fill a bath with the plug out. Far and away the biggest reason for referral of children for general anaesthetics to hospitals in England is to remove rotten teeth. In 2019, hospitals throughout England carried out an average of 177 operations a day on children and teenagers, just removing decayed, rotten and abscessed teeth that should not be in that state. The annual cost is more than £40 million.

Tooth decay is essentially highly preventable. Water fluoridation is the single most effective public measure that could be taken to prevent tooth decay. Implementation of fluoridation is in the powers of the local authority, but little progress has been made since that was introduced in 2013. The costs are to local councils and the cost benefits are to the national health service. The process of consultation is lengthy and tedious, and it is enabling a platform for protestors of the same genre of the anti-vaccination people.

On a more practical point, there are considerable difficulties for both the local authorities and the water companies in that their boundaries are rarely, if ever, coterminous. It makes eminent sense for the implementation process for new schemes of fluoridation to be put in the hands of and driven by central Government. In doing so, I hope the Government will curtail the procedures on consultation, as they only permit continuous reception and repetition of scaremongering stories from people who are basically cranks.

The safety, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and benefits of fluoridated water supplies, whether natural—and they are in many parts of the world—or as an additive, have been proven worldwide for what must be approaching 100 years. With this proposed step and Government determination, rather than lagging behind the rest of the world, we could actually lead.

USA - 1,500 gallons of liquid fluoride spills at Alabaster water plant

1,500 gallons of liquid fluoride spilled at an Alabaster water plant.

According to a release from Alabaster water, the spill happened at a water plant on Winterhaven Drive Wednesday morning at around 7:15 a.m.

According to the CDC's website, exposure to liquid fluoride by skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract; accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema); nausea and vomiting; gastric pain; irregular heart rate (cardiac arrhythmia); tissue destruction and burns; low blood calcium (hypocalcemia); and possibly death. The adverse effects depend on the amount of contact and the duration.

The company said, a pipe fitting on the fluoride holding tank broke while being adjusted. This allowed liquid fluoride to spill from the on-site holding tank into the secondary containment structure

No one was hurt during this liquid fluoride release. No liquid fluoride has been released from the secondary containment structure. Local fire departments are currently on-site, and a hazardous waste contractor is in route to remove the liquid fluoride. 

Water fluoridation – stopping the spread of misinformation

Barry Cockcroft, the interim chair of the British Fluoridation Society (BFS), discusses the benefits of water fluoridation and stopping the spread of misinformation.

What would you say to somebody who doesn’t know much about water fluoridation?

There is no water in England that doesn’t contain some fluoride. It’s just that it doesn’t reach the level at which it actually reduces caries. Often, the opponent talks about it being a medication. But a naturally-occurring substance cannot be a medication.

The Royal Society of Chemistry said once you dissolve it in water, there is no difference between artificial fluoridation and natural fluoridation.

People talk about fluoride reducing the prevalence of caries in children. But the benefits of fluoridation are for life. Dentists now spend more time replacing existing restorations than they do treating new carious restorations.

Now, elderly people have a better quality of life and are easier to look after because they don’t have as many restorations, nor are they as big or as expensive. People tend to think of it as only benefiting children but it’s for life.

What are some of the benefits of water fluoridation?

It makes the point that the beneficial effect of water fluoridation hasn’t fallen away. It reinforces the point that one of the great advantages of water fluoridation is it requires no compliance or change in behaviour. It’s not just drinking water either – it’s also used for things like cooking too.

The COVID-19 pandemic has focused people’s minds on prevention. I’m involved in a local health forum, which is basically a retired group of healthcare workers across the spectrum. One of the GPs in it said that 80% of health and wellbeing is not actually based on the provision of service.

It instead comes down to lifestyle, deprivation, diet etc. I think COVID has made people more aware of that. That said, people have also been at home snacking, meaning they may have a higher sugar consumption.

You can also never take money out of people’s thinking. If you’ve got a lower prevalence of caries, I’m not saying the government will save money but they can provide more care for more people. For me, it’s just a complete win-win.

What are your thoughts on the latest white paper that revealed government plans to progress water fluoridation in England?

I was really concerned that among all of the COVID-19 information that the focus on prevention – especially around oral health – might get lost. But in actual fact, the white paper that came out is almost beyond my wildest dreams. Somebody in Public Health England (PHE) has done an amazing job – it must have taken a lot of work.

It’s a huge boost for water fluoridation. We will be incredibly supportive of the government if they do take it forward as they’ve indicated that they’re going to. We will be watching the legislation as it’s published. People have tried to do this before and it’s taken years to put things right.

Politics tend to interfere and the redistribution of responsibility to local authorities, for example, meant certain areas missed out. After all, local authorities do not have much funding and are constantly under financial pressure. As a result, we feel really encouraged by the latest paper. But we are going to keep an eye on it to make sure it really does happen.

Why do you think it’s important that dentists are well informed?

Dentists like to be certain in what they say. We’ve been working with dentists so that they have the right information to hand when they come under pressure from opposition. They can be very effective. But if you’re not knowledgeable it can be difficult to navigate.

There is no evidence of harm and there is regular health monitoring in fluoridated areas. In America, for example, they’ve just celebrated 75 years of water fluoridation.

People trust their dentist. When fluoridation starts to happen, people will ask their dentist about it. We want to get the right information out there so they can be confident in what they say. We’ve done a lot of work improving the BFS website and making free membership available.

We hope more people join, log on and read some of the stuff on there. You’ve got to get the honest information out there. On the whole, I think a lot of the evidence shows that people trust their dentists. We want dentists to log on and find out the truth for themselves and how well it works.

Why are you so passionate about fluoridated water as a way to reduce caries?

My interest in fluoridation started while I was at university in Birmingham. I was told by the dental public health teachers there that the whole country will be fluoridated in 10 years because the evidence is so strong.

They were right that the evidence was strong but they were wrong that the whole country would be fluoridated. I think bringing it back into people’s consciousness is a really, really good thing.

The other thing is that the rate of caries has dropped. When I was at university, about 70% of children had caries – not the 23% now. But what’s not really improved since then are the inequalities. Children from more deprived backgrounds still get more caries than those from less deprived backgrounds.

What do you hope the future holds for the BFS?

I hope that the society grows and develops a more diverse membership. We want anybody who has an interest in oral health to carry the information forward. Anybody who is involved in fluoridation knows this can take a little bit of time.

As a result, we will need people there who are knowledgeable who can attend consultations, for example, and give out the right information.

I’m hoping we can grow the membership and bring on the next generation. The world works on people.


Barry did his best to inflict fluoridation on the people of Southampton and failed.

He is as smooth as a politician in putting forward his  case.
