Today’s Blog will be only PART 1 in a series of future blogs relating to MY own personal research on Fluoride in our drinking water.

I will present to you, the medical research that I was able to find in my coming blogs. I would also like to introduce you to a man who is an award winning journalist Christopher Brice. Christopher has written a book based in his research on Fluoride too, named” The Fluoride Deception”.

There are numerous web sites that have cropped up specifically aimed against Fluoride in the water and these sites are backed by doctors and scientists that have PhD’s in their research fields.

Here are 3 sites alone:

Fluoride Action Network

International Society for Fluoride Research: 

Scientific Data On Fluoride Poisoning

Health Care and Science Professionals speaking out against Fluoride to date their are over 3039 signers to a petition demanding congress to remove this poisonous ingredient from our drinking water.

Water Fluoridation "Obsolete" According to Nobel Prize Scientist
Nations who still practice it "should feel ashamed of themselves."

"I would advise against fluoridation.. Side-effects cannot be excluded .. In
Sweden, the emphasis nowadays is to keep the environment as clean as possible with regard to pharmacologically active and, thus, potentially toxic substances." – Dr. Arvid Carlsson, co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000)

Former EPA Assessment Manager Dr Robert Carton PhD says that the EPA has more than enough evidence to shut down Fluoride in the water right now. So why haven’t they? 

For the last 2 weeks I have spent a lot of time researching Fluoride in our drinking water. It has become a huge talking point with many people. For those of us who understand why it was originally placed in the water and what it has to do with modern America now, are 2 very different things.

Many doctors and scientists are now speaking out against fluoride. This ingredient in our drinking water could possibly cause serious health issues over a period of time to the human body.

Here are just some quotes from doctors against fluoride in our drinking water and a statement :

Professionals Statement calling for an end to water Fluoridation

"The American Medical Association is NOT prepared to state that no harm
will be done to any person by water fluoridation. The AMA has not carried out any research work, either long-term or short-term, regarding the possibility of any side effects." - Dr. Flanagan, Assistant Director of Environmental Health, American Medical Association.

"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs.
Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable." - Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association.

"E.P.A. should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer
data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects." – Dr. William Marcus, Senior Toxicologist at E.P.A.

The fact that antidepressants like Prozac and Paxil have their main ingredient "fluoxetine" in them suggests that these drugs are used for very specific purpose. Below is some information that many of us are not aware of about these 2 drugs.

What I am asking you to read are, the long term effects that Fluoride does to the body. I am also asking YOU to observe all the research that has been done in the decades past and present.

Prozac / Paxil Ingredients:

Click the above link to read all about these anti-depressants.

Prozac is a fluorinated drug called "fluoxetine".

Paxil is a fluorinated drug called "paroxetine" (also called Seroxat, Aropax).

These drugs are designed to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (serotonin reuptake inhibitors – SSRIs) and hence interfere with the biological actions of serotonin, a neurotransmitter.

Both drugs contain fluorine and chloride. Fluoride is present as a ’4-fluorophenyl’ compound, part of the ‘active’ ingredient.

Fluorophenyl compounds are found as major metabolites in the human organism from Paxil and Prozac, as well as from pesticides as Flusilazole (Anderson et al, 1999), Fluorbenside; FOE 5043 (Christenson et al, 1996), other drugs such as dexfenfluramine ("Redux"; "Fen-Phen" – now withdrawn) (Kalin et al, 2000); Fluvastatin (Top 200 drugs) (Dain et al, 1993); Flutrimazole (skin cream) (Conte et al, 1992); AD-5423 (an anti-psychotic) (Oka et al, 1993), Bay U 3405 (Braun et al, 1990); Cisapride (also now withdrawn from US market), Leflunamide (Arava) etc…

Fluorophenyl compounds have shown to disturb thyroid hormone activity in several ways, specifically in the liver and at the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis.

Observations:

In depressed patients receiving paroxetine the T4 level was reduced by 11. 2% (Konig et al, 2000).

   In animals chronic administration of fluoxetine results in a decrease in both T4 and T3 levels. The authors reported that the major effect of the drug “seems to be stimulation of TSH synthesis and release via the inhibition of T4-mediated thyroid-pituitary feedback” (Golstein et al, 1983).

   In rat brain, fluoxetine has also been shown to interfere with local T3 metabolism (Eravci et al, 2000; Baumgartner et al, 1994).

Liver:

1930s is was first observed that all fluoride compounds, organic and inorganic ones, inhibit thyroid hormones. This was first established in the 1930s by experiments conducted by Prof. Kurt Kraft who exposed tadpoles (bufo vulgaris, rana temporaria) to fluoride compounds including sodium fluoride, fluorotyrosine and fluorobenzoic acid (Kraft, 1937). Numerous fluoride compounds were used subsequently as the first line of treatment for hyperthyroidism in various countries, for several decades.

  1940s experiments on animals were conducted by Euler et al. which showed that all fluoride compounds acted upon liver glycogen, the difference being a matter of amplitude (Euler et al, 1949). Some organic compounds caused identical effects in bone and teeth as inorganic fluorides (Euler et al, 1942).

  1996, Christensen et al. tested the experimental herbicide FOE 5043 (4-fluorophenyl-containing) specifically on thyroid hormone function in the liver, after earlier tests had  suggested that the observed reduced circulating serum T4 levels were due to extrathyroidal activity.

"In the liver, the actvity of hepatitic uridine glucoronosyl transferase, a major pathway of thyroid hormone biotransformation in the rat, increased in a statistically significant and dose-dependent manner, conversely hepatitic 5-monodeiodinase [D1] trended downward with dose. Bile flow and bilary excretion of T4 were increased. These data suggests that the functional status of the thyroid and pituitary glands has not been altered by treatment with FOE 5043 and that reductions in circulating levels of T4 are being mediated indirectly through an increase in the biotransformation and excretion of thyroid hormone in the liver."

   Urichuk et al (1997) showed that levels of fluorophenyl metabolites after fluoxetine administration were 10-fold higher in the liver of rats than in brain.

   CNS: In the 1940s numerous investigators were of the opinion that – besides being active in liver – organic fluorides could also be causing disturbances at the hypothalamus-pituitary (HP) axis, due to their high affinity for the central nervous system (CNS) (Litzka, 1937, May, 1950).

   Later investigations into such compounds as fluoxetine   confirmed those suspicions (Jackson et al, 1998; Baumgartner et al, 1994; Golstein et al, 1983).

   In humans fluoxetine treatment reduced TRH-induced TSH release in both normal and obese women (Pijl et al, 1993). In a hypothalamic neuronal culture system fluoxetine decreased TRH levels (Jackson et al, 1998). In other tissue (rabbits – colon) it has shown to enhance TRH activity (Horita  & Carino, 1982).

  In humans, fluvoxamine (Luvox) also causes a decreased TSH response in the TRH test, indicating disturbances in the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. It caused decreased basal TSH levels (De Mendonca et al, 1997).  

      Fluorophenyl compounds are potent inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system in the liver.

   Prolonged inhibition of P450 leads to thyroid hormone reduction. Thyroid hormones, in turn, modulate the levels of P450 in the liver, where the majority of thyroid hormone synthesis occurs (T4 ->T3).

 Other Assorted Prozac Facts:

   Infants who were breastfed by mothers taking fluoxetine demonstrated a growth curve significantly below that of infants who were breastfed by mothers who did not take the drug (Chambers et al, 1999).  Newborn mouse pups exposed to paroxetine were more likely to have low birthweights (Rayburn et al, 2000). Low birth weight is related to thyroid status of the mother.

   Fluoxetine has been shown to cause severe liver dysfunction such as hepatitis (Cai et al, 1999; Johnston & Wheeler, 1997; Mars et al, 1991; Friedenberg & Rothstein, 1996).

   Fluoxetine has also been shown to cause secondary hyperthyroidism – originating from pituitary dysfunction (Martinez & Ortiz, 1999).

   Visual hallucinations have been found associated with use of fluoxetine (Bourgeois et al, 1998). Dyskinesia has been reported with use of fluoxetine. (Duborvski & Thomas, 1996).

Some Information on the History of Fluoride:

Adolph Hitler used Fluoride on Jews. Hitler used fluoride in the Jewish populations drinking water. Hitler was the first person to add fluoride to the water supply. He knew that Fluoride may keep the brain from developing, so he used fluoride as a way to control the masses.

“Sodium fluoride is the most effective rat killer known; colorless, odorless, tasteless; no antidote, no remedy, no hope, the most efficient way to exterminate rats. Fluoride is the most corrosive and reactive element known to man. Most Dentists have no idea of the toxicology behind fluoride. They only know what they are told.” More information can be found at this link.

The history of forcing fluoride on humans through the fluoridation of drinking water is wrought with lies, greed and deception. Governments that add fluoride to drinking water supplies insist that it is safe, beneficial and necessary, however, scientific evidence shows that fluoride is not safe to ingest and areas that fluoridate their drinking water supplies have higher rates of cavities, cancer, dental fluorosis, osteoporosis and other health problems

Interesting Quote of his too: "Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it."
- Adolf Hitler

Another site against Fluoride. There are so many of these Anti Fluoride sites now.

Here is another site.

And another….

The list of sites goes on and on. We all can’t be wrong. Think about it.
