In light of the recent ruling by the Gympie Council, … the subject of fluoridation has once again been raised.
Despite the enormous support for it here, in Australia now, there is much to consider regarding its use.
Science has provided alarming results of proof of fluoride settling in the bones in an ever-increasing accumulation which at autopsy has shown unusually high levels such as 5500 ppm.
It must be remembered that fluoride is a poison, with some individuals adversely affected with as little as 15ppm.
Its actions are not confined to bones and teeth.
It is liable to settle in any organ of the body and to cause damage to them.
Like oxalic and citric acids it deprives the body of calcium – a vital element necessary to life.
It interferes at least in the test tube with the activity of many enzymes, that is, protein substances necessary to the functioning of vital organs.
In extensive studies in Wisconsin, Michigan and New York all showed that within months of adopting fluoridation, the death rate from heart disease in these cities nearly doubled.
Many distinguished medical and scientific authorities are opposed to artificial fluoridation, in contrast to the many who have merely accepted the line of promoters.
Meantime, there remains the question of how this toxic substance can be arbitrarily added to the city water supplies!
It is contrary to all legitimate precepts of medicine and science, being a hit-and-miss method of application, without individual requirements and sensitivities or without guaranteeing uniform dosage.
In other words, little other than a vehicle for mass medication.
Finally, being a compulsory medication it violates the concept of personal freedom and responsibility – a most damning indictment.
