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- however it has come at a really excessive value for our society. And, many individuals in authorities and in teams we’ve 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 Medication, The Worldwide Academy of Environmental Medication and Toxicology, and several 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 substances into U.S. ingesting water as a result of fluoride’s neurotoxicity. The EPA denied the petition. Below TSCA, residents are allowed to petition the EPA to guage whether or not a chemical presents an unreasonable danger to public well being or prone populations.
The federal Nationwide Toxicology Program, an arm of the Division of Well being and Human Companies, did a scientific evaluation of the analysis and concluded that sure, fluoride is a neurotoxin. The NTP began this evaluation in 2016 and launched its last report in Might 2024. This evaluation discovered there was certainly a big physique of analysis proof that confirmed fluoride publicity is “persistently related to decrease IQ in kids“.
The wheels of justice flip slowly however flip they do. Final month, after seven lengthy years weaving its method by the court docket system, on September twenty fourth 2024 Senior Decide Edward Chen of america District Courtroom of the Northern District of California dominated that water fluoridation does current an “unreasonable danger” to the well being of youngsters. The EPA will now be required to manage fluoride as a well being hazard. They can’t ignore the chance.
The legal professionals for FAN had been capable of set up by a preponderance of the proof that fluoride at ranges we’ve presently in our ingesting water (0.7 mg/L) impacts the cognitive operate of our unborn infants. The analysis persistently 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 had been pressured to confess:
#1. As of 2019, The EPA admitted it had no research that proved a growing fetus was secure from the neurotoxicity of fluoride. The EPA solely had research exhibiting hurt to the fetus. Fluoride passes by the placenta and the blood-brain barrier.
#2. The Middle 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 “intrude with the operate of the mind and physique by direct and oblique means.” The particular person in command of oral well being on the CDC KNEW fluoride affected the mind again in 2006, but did nothing with this info!
The 2006 committee that put collectively this report was instructed by the EPA to evaluation well being results identified solely with “complete certainty”. The committee was additional “misdirected” by the EPA to not decide a secure stage of fluoride and to not talk about silicofluorides. (The fluoride utilized in our water techniques is a poisonous waste by-product of the fertilizer corporations moist scrubbers. It isn’t 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 modifications, 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 evaluation 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 evaluation of this report:
“The really helpful Most Contaminant Degree Objective (MCLG) for fluoride in ingesting
water needs to be zero.”
#3. Dr Karen Thiessen, a danger evaluation scientist and member of the 2006 NRC committee that reviewed and authored this report said 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”. Via the Freedom of Info Act, the plaintiffs had 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 relating to the contents of the report and was given the NTP draft to evaluation so they may work to discredit it, whereas neither the general public nor the plaintiffs had 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 evaluation. He learn the research and understood the significance of this case. Decide Chen last ruling:
“The Courtroom finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”) – the extent presently thought of “optimum” in america – poses an unreasonable danger of diminished IQ in kids…the Courtroom finds there’s an unreasonable danger of such damage, a danger 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 danger to human well being; it’s related to a discount within the IQ of youngsters and is hazardous at dosages which might be far too near fluoride ranges within the ingesting water of america…Diminished IQ poses severe hurt. Research have linked IQ decrements of even one or two factors to, e.g., diminished instructional attainment, employment standing, productiveness, and earned wages.”
The choose confirmed that water fluoridation, on the present stage of 0.7mg/L is hazardous. In the course of the trial, the EPA’s personal knowledgeable acknowledged that fluoride was hazardous “at some stage”. The analysis offered on the trial confirmed fluoride crossed the placenta and that it did certainly hurt the brains of unborn infants, reducing their IQ. In all, 72 epidemiological research had been offered. A big majority of those research confirmed these outcomes. Of the 19 high-quality research, 18 of them persistently confirmed fluoride diminished IQ. The research are listed in Decide Chen’s report if you need to evaluation them.
Analysis by Dr. Phillipe Grandjean et al confirmed that the mind growth of the unborn was affected even on the low stage of 0.2mg/L of fluoride. This analysis confirmed that for each 0.28mg/L of fluoride within the mom’s urine, the infant’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 a minimum of 10x to guard essentially 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 method constructed from faucet water.) The NTP report set the hazard stage at 1.5mg/L, and our waters are 0.7mg/L which is simply a 2x stage. To be on the 10x stage, our fluoride needs to be diminished to a stage of 0.15mg/L to get us all the way down to a secure stage.
It was decided by Dr. John Featherstone, a premier dental caries illness researcher in his analysis printed 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 Middle 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’ve identified for a reality this can be a toxic and unsafe chemical, particularly to essentially the most susceptible in our society. Why was the federal government working so exhausting 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 complement 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 employees, and misinformation to cover the truths. Madison Avenue promoting geniuses had been employed to make fluoride look secure. The dental neighborhood 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 ebook by Christopher Bryson- The Fluoride Deception. You might 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 might like to see you there!
