Beware of Your Friendly Dentist! Part2
By
Hesh Goldstein
Last Month we talked about
honest dentists. Well, what about the pro-fluoridationists?
Why won't they debate? Why won't they discuss? Why won't
they hold forums? Maybe this comment by Michael Easley,
one of the main speakers and proponents of fluoridation
will explain this: "Any discussion, forum or debate
on fluoridation will lend credibility to the other side.
This must be avoided at all costs". The man is a true
humanitarian. He goes right along with our Dental Chief,
Dr. Mark Greer.
As I see it, those promoting fluoridation have a
formidable task.
• They
have to persuade us that using the public water supply
to deliver medication is acceptable.
• They
have to persuade us that it is acceptable to use a chemical (Hexafluorosilicic
acid) which, according to the US EPA, has never been subjected to
long term animal testing ( the animals always get screwed).
• They
have to persuade us that the practice significantly reduces dental
decay in children.
• They
have to persuade us that it is safe :
a) for bottle fed babies to consume 100 times the levels normally
found in mothers' milk, which is 0.01 ppm.
b) for everyone, regardless of their health status.
c) to consume fluoride at 1ppm in our water every day for a whole
lifetime, even though approximately 50% of what we ingest accumulates
in our bones.
d) to consume the fluoride in water in addition to the fluoride in
processed foods and beverages made with fluoridated water, dental
products, and all other sources we are exposed to on a daily basis,
which is 1.6 to 6.6 mg per day in a fluoridated community.
• They have to
persuade us that this program is so important and the risks so minimal that
it justifies
the government's decision to override the individual's right to "informed
consent" to medication - a
cornerstone of modern medical ethics. The promoters of fluoridation cannot do this and
that is why they refuse to debate this issue on a public platform.
They know full well that fluoridation is:
Unethical
Unnecessary
Inequitable
Inefficient
Unsafe
Unscientifically promoted
A massive distraction from the real causes of dental decay, and that
Fluoride's alleged effectiveness is topical (on the surface) and only after
the tooth has come into the mouth.
Aloha!
