I am not surprised at this the CDC is controlled by the same people who control the FDA and Congress.

My studies of health, nutrition and diet began about 7 1/2 years ago when I started managing a health food store. During that time I had two young children at home who were ordered by their dentist to start taking flouride tablets. Naturally, being new to the field, I started reasearching flouride supplementation and was shocked to find so many problems associated with it. My wife refused to believe me when I informed her of the poisonous aspects of flouride and continued with the flouride tablets for another year. Our children, now 13 and 15, have a mottled appearance to their two front teeth. The flouride was cut off after much argument (just try to change your wife's decision). I refused to allow it to go on after the year. I have become a cynic and a questioner of all things written and spoken in the last seven years. You have to follow the money and find the real source of where this health-benefit-touting information is coming from.  When you find the true source, you find the sham. Flouride IS poison! When someone tells me their city water is not contaminated my next question is: how many 24 packs of bottled water do you buy from your market each year? Invariably the answer is 15-30.  And then, you see this blank stare and you see the brain gears turning.  Bottled water IS mostly filtered water (which does not remove flouride) from a municipal source that is bottled as far away as several hundred miles.  

My point is this:  If you want to remove flouride from your diet, be very careful of what you put in your mouth and that includes 99% of all the juices you buy. (Made from concentrate! They use municipal water for that.)

I have to ask myself, would God add toxic waste(fluoride) to our water supply?  Of course not.  There is naturally occurring fluoride, but that is hardly the same thing!  I had always thought that the water in our town was not fluoridated and recently found out that it has been fluoridated since 2005.  We were never given the right to vote on the issue or otherwise protest this insanity!  It is amazing to me that so many poisons are added to our water and we are not allowed to vote on these health harming additives.  Where is the freedom our country is supposed to have?

My dentist is always getting after me to use a "good flouride toothpaste" - when I tell them I refuse, they go after me telling me that my teeth will go bad, etc.  Well, I used flouride toothpast most of my life, and all the teeth in the back of my mouth are CROWNED!!!, so evidently it didn't do me a bit of good.  Not only that, I had a "root canaled" tooth that had a infection last year and they wanted to guess what? "root canal" it again.  I refused.  I took the antibiotics and so far have not had a recurrance.  I inherited weak teeth and never had good dental care as a child, but I refuse to pour good money after bad. I don't trust much in the medical community as a whole.  You MUST stand up for yourself or they will make you feel that you are just a fool. I get this all the time from doctors.

Well--I remember years ago--(yes, i'm a geezer), in the 50's--I had brushed my teeth with fluoride toothpaste before an event--I was nervous--and I guess I used too much. I started feeling sick and had a terrible burning in my mouth. After a while i felt something odd in my mouth--it was the lining to the roof of my mouth--it had been burned off--and shed itslef to dispose of the toxins, i guess.

    Read the warning label on ANY toothpaste--esp for children---...fluoride or not.

I am not kidding or joking when I say this, but the Reverend Al Sharpton needs to read this article.  If anyone can raise a stink, expose a scandal within Washington DC about this issue and get it out in the mainstream media, its Sharptons organization or a like group.  There should be just as much media coverage on this topic as Michael Vick, Barry Bonds or LiLo.

"As in any struggle for the ascendancy of truth, it is only a matter of time before mistaken views are exposed and discarded; time always sides with the truth.

Meanwhile, officials of the PHS, EPA, NAS-NRC, AAAS, WHO, RCP, AMA and the ADA should ask themselves how they will appear in the ultimate judgment of history for suppressing the very findings they are sworn to reveal. Although they could have blown the whistle years ago, when adverse effects where first reported, they failed to do so. And their culpability is constantly increasing as more and more evidence of harm from fluoridation comes to light; all their efforts to contain the bad news will ultimately collapse like the bursting of a dam as floodwaters of public indignation are unleashed. Their loss of prestige will be inescapable, and science's golden image will be more severely tarnished than it has ever been in the past."

- Dr. George Waldbott, M.D., Fluoridation the Great Dilemma, Page 384

In California, & i think in the rest of the country, you can request a copy of the report on your water from your local water district.  I was relieved to find our town does not add fluoride.  Not that we drink city water, anyway, but it made me less worried about an occasional use of the water for cooking, etc.  In general we use purified water (RO, & additional processes).
