The Flouride Agenda
by Maria Magdaline

 

Thanks to the committed action of several Long Island, NY activists, the drinking water has been fluoride free for several decades.

Unfortunately, New York has proposed a grant to re-introduce fluoride into our water supply, and the grant went through. This happened with hardly any public notice, despite the community’s strong disapproval of it, as well as the latest science that confirms fluoride is a harmful neurotoxin (not to mention that it causes more tooth decay when used on teeth).

Here are the facts: The world’s oldest and most prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, has officially classified fluoride as a neurotoxin — in the same category as arsenic, lead and mercury.

In 2013 findings by a Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health concluded that children in areas with highly fluoridated water have “significantly lower” IQ scores than those who live in areas with low amounts of fluoride in their water supplies.

When aluminum comes into contact with fluoride, it hitches a ride into the brain as aluminum fluoride. This just so happens to be the same aluminum compound found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

Fluoride, especially when added to drinking water, nearly doubles the risk of developing thyroid problems. An inadequate amount of iodine in our system allows the fluoride to take its place in the iodine receptor sites.

The pineal gland is prone to accumulating deposits in a process known as calcification. Fluoride, which is found in strikingly high concentrations in the pineal gland, causes this gland in the middle of our brain also known as the third eye to calcify. This gland is the master gland of our endocrine system.

Sodium fluoride in drinking water has also been linked to various cancers. It is functionally different than the naturally occurring calcium fluoride, and is commonly added to drinking water supplies and used by dentists for dental health.

Fluoridation is Actually Uncommon in Europe; 97% of their water supply is NOT fluoridated. Yet fluoride is added to water supplies across 76% of the USA. Several other developed nations around the world, as well as most of Europe, have banned fluoridation of their water supply.

There are many more studies you can find that reveal the harmful effects of fluoride – especially to our children’s growing bodies. We must consider this scientific information, and be responsible for what goes into our bodies. Taking action as a community, the way others did before us, can ensure that our water supply remains clean, and fluoride free.

What Can You Do?

• A high-quality water filter installed in your home can help eliminate, or at least reduce, the amount of fluoride you and your family are exposed to on a daily basis.

• Iodine supplementation is a great way to purge the body of fluoride and heavy metals. Increase levels of iodine in your system. It is vital to your overall health.

• Write a letter to your local government officials and your water company relaying your concerns over the fluoridation of the public water supply.

• Submit an editorial to your local publication (as I did here) expressing your concerns, and requesting that you would like to keep your water fluoride free.

• Spread the word in your community, so that everyone is made aware of the granted funds, and the possibility of fluoride being added to their water supply.

• Join organizations like Fluoride Action Network that keep you updated on proposals and legislation that can change your drinking supply.
