The latest defector from fluoridistas
internationale is Dr Hardy Limeback, a leading Canadian authority
and consultant to the Canadian Dental Association, often cited by
Canadian and US health officials in their defence of fluoridated water.
But in a shock interview with journalist Michael Downey, published in
Toronto's Sunday Star, 25 April, Limeback joined the growing ranks of
former fluoride promoters by conceding that fluoride may be destroying
our bones, our teeth and our overall health.
Professor Limeback is currently studying fluoride buildup in
the body. "What we're finding indicates a trend: Torontonians
have double the fluoride levels in their hip bones compared to
Montreal, where water is not fluoridated," he said.
Dangers to children
"Children under three should never use fluoridated toothpaste or
drink fluoridated water. And baby formula must never be made up using
[fluoridated] Toronto tap water. Never. We are now spending more money
treating dental fluorosis than we would spend treating cavities if
water were not fluoridated."
The Journal of the American Dental
Association, (1995), found that up to 80% of children living in
fluoridated areas in the US and Canada suffer from dental fluorosis -
mottling, pitting and staining of teeth. Promoters describe this
condition as "merely a cosmetic problem," but scientists say
it is the first visible sign of fluoride poisoning.
"Fluoride is a
pollutant"
While fluoride promoters and government advisers insist that water
fluoridation is "perfectly safe," Limeback, until very
recently an advocate for water fluoridation, now vehemently disagrees.
"These people haven't done any studies to find out what effect
fluoride accumulation will have. How can they say it is safe when the
studies haven't been done?" Asked whether he drinks tap water,
Limeback said he buys distilled water. "Look, I've been drinking
fluoride for 35 years and I'm worried. I have joint problems which
cleared up when I switched to non-fluoridated water. Fluoride is a
pollutant, so why would you want to swallow it?"
Fluoride accumulates
in bone
"This comes as no surprise to us," said Dr Peter Mansfield,
President of the National Pure Water Association, whose own recent
findings on fluoride ingestion levels give cause for serious concern.
"Half a dozen studies in the Journal of the American Medical
Association show more hip fractures in fluorid- ated areas. Ingested
fluoride accumulates - mainly in the bones. Sixty per cent of the 200
volunteers I tested from the fluori- dated West Midlands are
ingesting fluoride up to four times the level considered 'safe' by the
Dept. of Health or the scientific literature. Water fluoridation is an
absolute fraud and the sooner the DoH acknowledges the truth, the
better. The 50-year coverup must be exposed. Disposal of toxic
industrial waste via the public drinking water supplies, must be
stopped."
The back-story
In 1983 Lord Jauncey declared fluoridation unlawful. (Mrs C McColl v
Strathclyde Regional Council.). In 1985 the Thatcher government
legalised it, having been fluoridating 10% of England illegally for 20
years! In 1993 EVERY Scottish Council rejected water fluoridation. 28
out of 31 North West Councils rejected it - three refused to hear the
case "Against". 25 out of 26 N. Ireland Councils rejected it
in 1996 after a bitter "fluoridation battle" which was
never reported on the mainland. (Antrim refused to hear the case "Against".).
But the Government will not take NO for an answer. New Labour's stated
"target areas" include Western Scotland, the North West and
Northern Ireland! This has been described by many Councillors as "relentless
public harassment."
Last year, the National Pure Water
Association called for a full, independent Public Inquiry into water
fluoridation, to enable all relevant scientific disciplines -
biochemical and toxicological, medical and dental - and relevant legal
and constitutional authorities to be brought together to rigorously
examine ALL the evidence over the past 20 years. The government
advisers on fluoridation at the Dept. of Health don't want this. Nor
does the fluoride lobby, so they persistently attempt to "rubbish"
every single study which shows adverse health effects! - yet the DoH
has failed to provide us with a single laboratory or scientific study
which shows that artificial fluoridation reduces tooth decay in
humans! Brainwashed dentists are unable to believe this!
Hydrogen fluoride - "that
beast among elements" (BNFL).
Artificial water fluoridation is a device created to cover up the
adverse effects of the most prolific global pollutant - HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE - to protect industry from litigation, with the complicity of
successive governments. The fluoride added to water in fluoridation
schemes is HEXAFLUOROSILICIC ACID - literally, toxic industrial waste
scrubbed from the hydrogen-fluoride-polluting chimneys of
super-phosphate fertiliser factories. HF is also belched out by
coal-burning power stations, petrochemical refineries, aluminium,
zinc, copper, beryllium and magnesium producing factories, steel
mills, plastics manufacturers, glass factories, cement works, pottery
and tile makers, brick works, chemical factories, etc. But thousands
of tonnes of hydrogen fluoride are actually required and produced
specially for the nuclear industry - particularly nuclear processing.
Fluoride is also a major component of Sarin nerve gas. " 'The
location of factories in the United Kingdom which manufacture hydrogen
fluoride (HF) and elemental fluorine (F2) is officially secret. To
disclose the locations of such factories would not be in the interest
of National Security.' - The Home Office, London 1992." (
The Secret War, Dr Geoffrey E. Smith, Epeius Publishing
Associates, 1997).
Smith, a dentist who had signed the
Official Secrets Act, came out against water fluoridation and was
warned, in 1976, by an Officer from the Security Service: "If you
divulge, in public, the precise composition of the gaseous emissions
from Capenhurst [Britain's uranium hexafluoride gaseous diffusion
plant in Cheshire] you may well be charged under the Official Secrets
Act . . . the hearings could well be heard in camera." An attempt
was made to have him struck off the General Dental Register. It
failed. NB. NPWA has copies of 155
recently declassified documents which reveal that the US Govt. was
involved in the deliberate coverup of fluoride toxicity tests on
humans in the mid-1940s.
