risks and benefits remain after more than 40 years. Chemical and

Engineering News. August 1, 1988, 26-42. (See article )

“Although skeletal fluorosis has been studied intensely in other

countries for more than 40 years, virtually no research has been done in

the U.S. to determine how many people are afflicted with the earlier

stages of the disease, particularly the preclinical stages. Because some

of the clinical symptoms mimic arthritis, the first two clinical

phases of skeletal fluorosis could be easily misdiagnosed. Skel-

etal fluorosis is not even discussed in most medical texts under the

effects of fluoride; indeed, a number of texts say the condition is almost

nonexistent in the U.S. Even if a doctor is aware of the disease, the early

stages are difficult to diagnose."

Excerpt from:

Kilborn LG, et al. (1950). Fluorosis with report of an advanced

case. Canadian Medical Association Journal. 62: 135-141.

“Apparently [skeletal fluorosis] is rare on the North American

continent, but a few cases have been reported. . . . It is quite possible

that endemic centres [of skeletal fluorosis] exist but that the cause

of the disabling spondylitis or other joint affections has not been

determined, and a diagnosis of chronic arthritis has resulted.

Few cases in Canada or the United States will be found to be as

dramatic as that recorded here from Southwest China, . . .

Dental surgeon, Geoffrey E. Smith says, "My 12-year-old

granddaughter, Jade-Emma, has 'mottled' teeth, and my wife suffers

from osteoporosis.

"Jade's disfigured teeth were caused by fluoride, and there is now

a growing body of evidence suggesting that fluoride can be a factor

in the development of osteoporosis.

"Is the dental wonder of the 1950s set to become the medical

blunder of the 1990s?

"Such a thought is particularly frustrating for me since I belong

to the profession -- dentistry -- which has, for the past 40 years, claimed

that fluoride was essential for sound teeth and 'good' for bones

How Poisoning a Town Starts

This author was city manager of a small community for a short

time, when a young nurse asked to speak before our City Commis-

sioners for the purpose of requesting that the city add fluoride to the

water supply.

Of course, anyone who wishes it could speak before our City

Commissioners, and so the young nurse was invited to do so.

Her pitch consisted primarily of a request for building healthier

teeth through our young ones -- who can resist such an appeal? -- and

to point out that surrounding communities, much larger cities through-

out the nation, already had fluoridation.

The City Commissioners turned to me, and asked my opinion.

Being somewhat naive and sans research, I agreed with the nurse,

and so together we naively, innocently, and stupidly added fluoride

to the City of Fairview's (Tennessee) water supply, and that addition

continues to this date, despite the fact that the citizens of the City of

Fairview, TN have never had an opportunity to know the pros and

cons of fluoridation or to vote for or against the issue.

We unknowingly doomed hundreds of Fairview citizens to

Arthrosis, vertebral and hip fracture, osteosarcoma (cancer), infertil-

ity, birth defects, bone damage, damage to the immune system,

fluorosis, fluoride neurotoxicity, and many other poorly diagnosed

conditions, as fluoride affects every human system, often by inhibiting

enzymes which are essential for the functioning of every human

system.

Besides the damaging of human tissue by 1 ppm of fluoride added

to our public water systems, the health problem is also one of massive

overconsumption of fluoride. We are being bombarded with fluoride

from all our dental products and also many industrial sources.

Physicians and nurses, of course, are authoritative figures,

especially in the minds of those who do not specialize in health care.

If doctors, nurses, or public health officials say that a drug is good for

us, we tend to believe them, and we don't question their credentials or

source of information. Had we known that we were dooming

thousands of people to lesser, or even damaging, health, we might have

questioned further. For example, if the City Commissioners wish to

purchase a new truck, each of them holds himself out as somewhat

knowledgeable in mechanics, and each would question data brought

in by someone that they deemed to have invalid information, or

contrary information.

Likewise, when building a ballpark for the City's youth, each

commissioner would feel that they had valuable knowledge to contrib-

ute.

But question a medical authority or public health official?

Hardly!

Who Benefits By Fluoridation?

So who does benefit by the addition of Fluoride to Public Water

Systems?
