SCIENTIFIC FLUORIDATION MYTHS

By Glen S.R. Walker

    A good new year could be the cessation by honest Governments, members of Parliaments, prohibiting scientific medical fallacious claims about the safety of compulsory artificial fluoridation, especially by the compulsion of mass medicating the Australian people with fluoride chemicals that are not even legally registered or licenced as safe for daily human consumption, as the law applies to all other drugs for human use.    
    This is a simple straightforward statement that no Government in Australia will or can answer.    
    The next statement concerning every Australian Government and their politicians is their failure to produce "on demand" scientific medical research (not dental slogans) documented in World Scientific Referred Medical International Journals proving fluoridated water is perfectly safe for people of all ages.
    Books on display in Australia for Christmas Sales included a book by Petra Press titled, "Great Heroes of Mythology", and the book was purchased with the hope that there would be a chapter on Heroes of Fluoridation Mythology.
    Fluoridation was not mentioned in that particular issue, but the meaning and use of myths is a record close to fluoridation.
    The book quotes:
    "The myths and legends of every culture feature extraordinary individuals who perform superhuman feats to society. (fluoridation). Many cultures throughout the world, especially those in North and South America also feature another type of hero altogether - "the trickster"."
    It would seem the fluoridation tricksters will be included in future publications of Great Heroes of Mythology.

Baby Formula Food Fluoride Danger
    Time is an important factor for fluoridation tricksters, because it allows them to bury scientific data that denounces their claims. Over 24 years ago Glen Walker's book, "Fluoridation Poison on Tap" documented the following (p.81):
    If you are a young mother preparing babies food mixture with fluoridated tap water, remember what Professor Carlsson of Sweden said Your 'baby is receiving a fifty-fold increase (fluoride)over mothers milk or cow milk'."
Walker stated (p. 276):
    "If a powdered milk formula is used and prepared with fluoridated water, the infant will consume from water alone over 1 milligram of fluoride daily. This is FOUR TIMES the maximum recommended in 1977 by the U.S. Council of Dental Therapeutics!"
    Included in "Fluoridation Poison on Tap" is an article by Kay Dupuy 1981, that also documents the danger of baby formula food reconstituted with fluoridated water. (Appendix Eight)
    This important health matter concerning babies has been withheld from Australian people and no public notification on the matter published by your Government, resulting in this knowledge on poisoning babies with fluoride has been buried for over 24 years. It's what is called "Democratic Honest Government"!

    Coincidentally(?), just after our last "Fluoridation News" article titled, 'Fluoridation Destiny of Deceit', November/ December 2006, the original U.S. instigators of compulsory artificial fluoridation, The American Dental Association, went to press with fluoridation information that seemed to be a 60 year outstanding confession of medical guilt.
    The American Dental Association (ADA) stated through the press 6th November, 2006:
    "For infants who get most of their nutrients from formula during the first 12 months, ready-to-feed formula is preferred to help ensure the infants do not exceed the optimal amount of fluoride intake.
    If liquid concentrate or powdered infant formula is the primary source of nutrition, it can be mixed with water free or containing low levels of fluoride to reduce the risk of fluorosis."
They dare not write plain English - fluoridated water should not be used in baby formula food!

 Myth of "Optimal Dose of Fluoride"
    It is important to understand there is no such thing as Optimal dose of fluoride, because the dose is only controlled by each person's thirst that differs enormously in so many ways. Consumption of any fluoride chemical is unnecessary - fluoride has not been shown as necessary for human nutrition.
    The ADA Report also stated:
    "The Institute of Medicine stated, 'the amount of fluoride recommended for babies under a year old is less than for older children and adults.    
    Infants less than one year old may be getting more than the optimal amount of fluoride from reconstituted baby formula'."
    They all love that scientifically meaningless word OPTIMAL. If the hierarchy of the AMA and Institute of Medicine cannot use simple arithmetic in their own data, the matter becomes another piece of fluoride confusionby "the experts".

    The matter is so simple - fluoride content of baby formula plus fluoridated water = over 1 ppm fluoride so the "maybe" is a medical joke, the baby is clearly shown to be fluoride overdosed compared with breast fed babies.
    Maybe the British Medical Journal 28th February, 2004, opens up the mystery of fluoridation experts and their reports.
    "A new study of the advertising material and marketing brochures sent out by drug companies to G.P.'s in Germany has shown that about 94% of the information in them has no basis in scientific evidence."
    "Examples of misrepresentation include -
(a) Side effects of drugs are minimised
(b) Treatment effects are exaggerated
(c) Drug risks are manipulated."

Inept NSW Government fails to warn parents of Fluoride Dange   
    However, we do have real problems in Australia concerning Governments' statements about fluoridation.
    One prime example occurred in the NSW town of Mudgee.
    The Mid-Western Regional Council Committee Meeting, 6th September, 2006:
    "Motion - That Council provide 14 days public notice of the proposed commencement of the fluoridation of the Mudgee and Gulgong Water Supplies and that the public notices include the following information.
(3)Parents to check fluoride content of Baby Formula before mixing with town water (fluoridated)."
    "The Weekly" local Mudgee paper printed these"Fluoride Facts" by the Mudgee Council (Oct. 11, 2006):
    "N.S.W. Health advises that infant formula can be safely reconstituted with fluoridated water, provided the powder itself does not contain a high level of fluoride. Some research puts that "high level" at more than 17 micrograms of fluoride per 100 kilojoules of powder. However, other research indicates it is not an issue."
    This is an example of fluoridation science by the NSW Government "micrograms v kilojoules"??? confusing a unit of weight with a unit of electrical energy!
    The Council made no move to correct or question the New South Wales Government's official flummoxed and distorted health science of fluoridation and its mythical equation of "micrograms and kilojoules"!
    The Council's Minutes 19th July, 2006 passed a motion that:
     "The Staff provide details of real scientific proof as published in world scientific medical journals that the artificial fluoridation of water supply is both safe and effective."
    As "Background" -
    "In a report to Council 1st June, 2005, it was stated that there were numerous reputable studies demonstrating significant benefits to dental health, water fluoridation is safe, effective and 'equitable' and NSW Health advice on water fluoridation is based on fact."
(Well, there is a joke to start the New Year 2007!)
    Yet dental decay is so severe in Sydney after nearly 40 years of artificial fluoridation, that in just Western Sydney, 5 year waiting lists for dental treatment are over 180,000 patients (Australian Fluoridation News, March-April 2006).
    The World Health Organisation Criteria for Medical Drug Promotion states:
    "The word safe should only be used if properly qualified, promotional material (fluoridation) should not be used to disguise its real nature."
    Accepting "the WHO Criteria for Medical Drug (fluoridation) Promotion" obliterates all actions and fluoridation claims by the ubiquitous spin doctors now dispensed throughout Australia plying the mythology of fluoridation.
    Letters to politicians, Health Departments, dental and medical groups, and even our "Fluoridation News" 2004 asked questions from the Prime Minister and all State Premiers asking if fluoridation is proven scientifically safe for all people.
    No answers!

    A letter in the "Border Mail", Albury NSW explained the writer's difficulties over many years in obtaining an answer from Government Fluoridation Experts as to the proven safety of compulsory artificial fluoridation.
    Our Organization has been presenting this same question for over 30 years without ever receiving scientific proof of its safety. Perhaps George Orwell best put the matter in the following words:
    "At any given moment there is a sort of all-prevailing orthodoxy, a general tacit agreement not to discuss some large and uncomfortable fact."

    The "Sydney Morning Herald", 29th August, 2006, printed (p. 14) a feature article, "The Health Minister who put the bite on dentists". The story is about the NSW Health Minister, Kevin Stewart as quoted:
    "One of his initiatives was to introduce legislation to end dentists' monopoly on supplying false teeth, allowing dental technicians to do so as well. To pacify the well heeled teeth-pullers of Macquarie Street he gave them places as academically qualified doctors in presenting the right to use the title "Dr".
    So the grand title of Doctor for dentists is in reality political gimmickry where politicians in Parliament converge to present false University titles which, although dishonest, it has freely bred so-called Doctors of Dentistry who take their places as academically qualified doctors in presenting fluoridation!
    Some claim there are so many examples of fraudulent fluoridation actions, but all are based on one simple democratic word -The Truth, - missing in action (fluoridation).  

 

WE HAVE TROUBLE AHEAD!

Dental Problems from "High Authority"

by Glen S.R. Walker

    Reading the Sunday "Age" 31st December, 2006 and Prime Minister of Australia's John Howard's New Year message to the Australian people, made me think I had fallen down a hole in the garden of Alice in Wonderland.
    The first statement quoted "Prime Minister John Howard has urged parents to encourage their kids to drink a glass of water a day to fight tooth decay."
    "In a plea to parents to get their children drinking fluoridated tap water instead of bottled water, which has no fluoride, Mr Howard described the worsening tooth-decay epidemic as a national tragedy.
    'I think one of the things we have to try to do, though, is get young kids to drink tap water again to do something about their teeth,' Mr Howard said. It's a real tragedy, this. You're starting to see the re-emergence of decay in young kids.
    (The 550 million litres of bottled water used annually in Australia is less than 4% of the 2 litres of water recommended per person per day. This is a 2,500% exaggeration of the artificial fluoridation myth by the Prime Minister! - Editor).
    I grew up in a generation who had bad teeth because we didn't have fluoride, and fortunately my children have all got great teeth,' Mr Howard said.
    It was such an enormous public health advance and we have seen the stunning difference in the quality of my children's teeth compared with mine and my wife's generation,' Mr Howard said.
    He also threw his weight behind water recycling, saying he would be happy to drink recycled water. 'Oh yes, I've never had a problem with recycling, it's part of the solution . . . providing it's subject to all the correct procedures and everything, I can't see a problem."
    The Prime Minister seems out of step with Australian People.
    He would be an exception, being happy to have an Atomic Power Station next to his home!

    This brings up another question of concern.
    The Prime Minister lives in the Government House in Kirribilli and one shudders at the thought of an Atomic Power Station next to the Kirribilli residence on the harbour, next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge!
    Would this be in architectural competition with the Opera House?
    He would drink recycled water which is another important matter being pushed by his Government even though like fluoridation, there is no absolute scientific proof of safety or cost, or the available water to recycle in many places. (Sun Herald 26.12.06)
    There are many better and safer ways of gaining more public drinking water, but politicians have a strange agenda in this matter all without respect for a time factor and public health.

Worsening tooth decay epidemic after 38 years of artificial fluoridation
    The Prime Minister seems unimpressed with TRUTH about fluoridation in Sydney's fluoridated drinking water supplies, fluoridated since 1968 - just a matter of 38 years and Sydney newspapers giving the actual poor condition of children's teeth in Sydney, where all children had been drinking fluoridated water by compulsion all their lives. (Australian Fluoridation News – Absolute Proof of Fluoridation Failure, March-April 2006).
    The Prime Minister has taken over the mantle of Minister for Health to cover the failed process of adding fluoride to drinking water supplies.
    He describes Australian teeth as "the worsening tooth-decay epidemic as a National Tragedy".

    We remind the Prime Minister that his Liberal Party in unison with their Labor enemy unanimously forced compulsory fluoridation into State Parliaments with grandiose fluoridation promises beyond the comprehension of normal thinking people who understood the Commonwealth Constitution prohibited compulsory fluoridation. (Part V - Power of the Parliament XXiiiA)
    Their promises were - no more tooth decay and no future need for dentists - fluoride in drinking water makes perfect teeth. (Hansard Records)
    No debate in parliaments (except for a few independent-minded politicians where thoroughly documented, well reasoned speeches were ignored), both political parties were adamant in their promise that with fluoridated water there will be no more dental decay and over all the following years the Spin Doctors keep up that false political health claim.    
    We know the tragic conditions of children's teeth in fluoridated Sydney and have published records documented in Sydney papers where dental experts (?) and politicians stated - "We need more dentists" and Professor Spencer in the fluoridation nerve centre at Adelaide University stated,
    ". . . dental health was deteriorating with widening gap between the 'haves and havenots'. There is nothing to suggest this has changed accordingly."
    Without any doubt the Australian fluoridation health venture has been the greatest hyped up American tooth gimmick and failed medical process ever encountered in Australia during the past 100 years.

 Trying to resell a failed medical concept
    The money being spent around Australia attempting to cover this political health tragedy is a matter of "all hands to the pump" to resell the failed medical concept.
    The National Health and Medical Research Council have done their part in producing a 332 page large publication titled, NUTRIENT REFERENCE VALUES FOR AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND plus a supporting book of 70 pages devoted to listing NUTRIENTS in which they list FLUORIDE as a NUTRIENT.
    Seems all Chemical Dictionaries, especially the respected MERCK INDEX, must be destroyed and chemistry rewritten hailing fluoride as a NUTRIENT!
    The last such attempt was The Australian Dental Journal under a heading, "Mutagenicity" they wrote:
    "The Fluoride ion is an endogenous ion of the human organism."
    A critic, W.W. Guthrie, stated in reply published in the Journal.
    "Were this conclusion to be factual, every normal human system would be naturally supplied with metabolically-balanced "endogenous" fluoride ions and supplementation by water fluoridation could never be justified."
    The world is facing extraordinary medical claims including fluoridated water, a product of the USA, which our Prime Minister is following like the mythical Weapons of Mass Destruction, or a more fitting label - Fluoridation, a Weapon of Mass Deception.
    As Australian citizens, under the Australian Constitution, we request the Prime Minister of Australia when visiting the following countries, investigates the "scientific" reasons why they do not understand his vision of the Fluoridation Utopia. (As stated in English dictionaries as - "the utmost perfection in law and politics, a place of political perfection").

    Only 4% of the world population use artificially fluoridated water and that 4% by political "compulsion".
    When visiting China, Russia, Japan and all the European Countries, none of which entertain their drinking water being fluoridated, ask for answers to your scientific quotation in Australian Media, 31st December, 2006:
    "Kids now who are being born into the bottle-water generation are missing out on that (fluoridation), so I (the Prime Minister) think we should, sort of, start a campaign on, 'drink a glass of tap water every day'."
    That statement obviously means all the children in the above countries have bad teeth and their medical scientists are professionally quite ignorant people compared with the Prime Minister of Australia.
    All this when the Prime Minister and his staff base their actions on the World's Best Science and act accordingly on your behalf?  

    Killen, one of the last great parliamentarians, dies aged 81

    Sir James Killen, staunch opponent of artificial fluoridation of public drinking water supplies, died in Brisbane on 12th January 2007.
    "He will be remembered as one of Australia's most colourful politicians - a find debater, a wit of independent mind, with more than a touch of rebellion. He was also a barrister and racehorse owner.
    "Born at Dalby, Queensland, he never knew his dentist father, who died when he was only two. He ran away from Brisbane Grammar School at 13 to go jackerooing, later completed a diploma course in wool and sheep and became a wool classer. He was a self-made politician-cum-barrister, spending seven years studying law part-time to qualify as a barrister after entering Federal politics in 1955. He was Minister for the Navy (1969-71); Minister for Defence (1975-82); vice-president of the Executive Council and leader of the House (1982); made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George the same year, the last member of the House of Representatives to receive an imperial honour.
    In 2004 he was made Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for his "distinguished contribution to public life as a parliamentarian, barrister, author, orator and advocate for social justice and the rights of the underprivileged members of the community".
    "With speeches often redolent of the great Irish-born British statesman Edmund Burke, and his bush background, he was prepared to take on all comers in the political arena.
    "He took on Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies over the fluoridation of Canberra's water supply, arguing it was enforced medication." (The Sydney Morning Herald, 13-14 January, 2007).
    Leading the debate against artificial fluoridation of Canberra's water supply in 1964, Mr Killen stated:
    "Fluoridation is a completely different approach to a medical problem from any that we had before. It is unique. Never before has the State said to individuals, 'Here is something that you take not to protect the people around you from disease but because we the State consider this to be in your own good'.
"I venture to say that whenever we find the notion that the State should be supreme in all matters we find being laid the basis of a new and viable tyranny.
"I believe, and believe passionately, that it is not the duty of the State to dose its people like cattle. Here I hold, we put on issue the fundamental liberty of the individual, and no person should treat that as being a light matter." (Hansard p. 1142)
