Greetings:

I entitled this article the Benefits of Fluoride because of an experience I had the other day while shopping at Walmart.

While I was shopping one day in Walmart I came across some gallon bottles of purified water that were labeled "PURIFIED WATER FOR KIDS WITH FLUORIDE" This caught not only my eye but my attention.

I immediately began thinking, isn't that the purpose of purified water, taking out all the harmful chemicals that are put in it. Hmmmmm, this is weird I thought, "they are selling water that is purified then they add fluoride to it??, and on top of that they are marketing it towards kids.

Obviously the strategy being that parents will see that it has fluoride in it and want to buy it for their kids to help keep their teeth from getting cavities.

My question then was, does fluoride really keep you from getting cavities, and is it really good for you, especially for kids?

So I looked up some facts on fluoride, what it is, how it works, what it does, how it affects the human body, etc.

One claim people make about fluoride is that it keeps you from getting cavities. IS that true? Well the truth is, that the claim that fluoride prevents cavities, needs lots and lots of more research to be proven. More studies that have been conducted over the years actually indicate the opposite, that fluoride actually advances the onset of cavities.

There was one such study conducted in the Netherlands and in Sweden, both countries that do not use fluoride in their water, against countries that did like the US. The countries that did NOT fluoridate their water, their children has 42% less cavities than the same age children in the countries that did fluoridate their water.

After learning about that I thought to myself if then, fluoride is not good on cavities, what other benefits could the kids who drink get from this "water". The list follows.

Benefits of Fluoride:

Dental fluorosis : A defect in the formation of tooth enamel in children which results in mottled teeth. This is not reversible and remains for life. It is believed that when decay does set in these teeth are difficult to fill. Dental fluorosis can occur from 0.4 ppm.

Skeletal fluorosis : Early symptoms are back stiffness, pains in the bones and joints, sensations of burning, pricking, and tingling in the limbs, muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, and reduced appetite. X-rays show abnormal calcium deposits in bone and ligaments. Osteoporosis develops in long bones and bony outgrowths may occur. Eventually the victim may be crippled and the vertebrae fuse together.

Fractures : Researchers at the University of Bordeaux in France studied 3578 people of 65 years or older living in South Western France. They reported that the risk of hip fracture was significantly higher when water fluoride was greater than 0.11 ppm.

Immune deficiency : Dr. Sheila Gibson from the University of Glasgow, showed that fluoride, at levels comparable to those found in the blood of people living in fluoridated areas, decreased the migration rate of human white blood cells (leukotaxis). [Also inhibits phagocytosis - another defence mechanism ] This adversely affects the immune system. Dr. Gibson found that only a six-hour exposure of white blood cells to as little as 0.1 parts per million fluoride inhibits the white blood cell migration rate by 21 percent. One part per million inhibits the white blood cell migration rate by 85 per cent and 2 ppm has a conclusive 0 percent relative migration rate. This indicates that a continued use of fluoride in the drinking water could result in the total destruction of the immune response !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cancer : Cancer researchers have found a 17% rise in 16 yrs of cancers in towns in the USA which are fluoridated in comparison with those which are not. A rise in a rare bone cancer, osteosarcoma, was recorded in men under 20 in fluoridated areas. This was confirmed in studies on rats in 1989 by the US National Toxicology Program.

General side effects : George L. Waldbott, founder and chief of allergy clinics in four Detroit hospitals, reported treating at least 500 patients who he concluded reacted negatively to fluoridated water. The symptoms included muscular weakness, chronic fatigue, excessive thirst, headaches, skin rashes, joint pains, digestive upsets, tingling in the extremities, and loss of mental acuity. Waldbott used double-blind tests to determine whether fluoride was the cause of symptoms in many of his cases. In each of these patients, the symptoms disappeared when the fluoride was taken away without the patient's knowledge and reappeared when it was given again.

Other ailments include :
Destruction of about 60 enzymes including cytochrome C and cholinesterase which handle oxygen.

Genetic change in sperm and other cells.

Downs Syndrome increase of 250% with 70%
developing cataracts

Infant mortality, spontaneous abortions and miscarriages increase

Infant birth defects increase

Goitre


Hmmmmmmm, to me these "benefits" sound more like they would benefit the Global agenda. And Walmart as we all know is doing their part to assist with the implementation of a surveillance society and global dominance and slavery.

The biggest shame is that to go shopping in my small town I have to go there to get stuff cause that is the only place to go. But just a friendly reminder Don't buy your kids that kids water if you go there :)
