DENTAL POISONING
Dental Poisoning I - MERCURY The
practice of fixing a deadly poison in multiple locations
within the mouth is, surely, an act of madness. But this
is exactly what most dentists do every day.
The American Dental Association (ADA) makes the protestations
of safety which might be expected. Their basic response is
that:
"No evidence of harm has been found."
However, mercury is a known poison. Why put it in your mouth
when there are alternatives?
The answers are, I suppose:
- The
alternatives cost
more.
- Because the
ADA - and it's
British equivalent -
would look
pretty stupid if they did a
turn-around now, after
decades of
saying that mercury
fillings are
safe.

So look at the evidence, use common sense; and
don't put any more poisons in your mouth. Demand
alternative fillings when you next have some - and pay
extra for them if necessary.

Dental Poisoning II - The Sequel: FLUORIDE
Much like the mercury in amalgam fillings, fluoride has been
foisted on the general public with little evidence of safety -
or, for that matter, effectiveness.
It is worrying that the British Dental Association - who
represent dentists in the UK - receive funding from the
toothpaste industry for promoting fluoride toothpastes (The
Times).
In fact, one of the early studies which helped start
fluoridation carried out in Newburgh, New York, had flawed
methodology according to some experts.
Furthermore, the reduction in dental fillings seen after ten
years in that study, had disappeared when re-examined after 50
years.
A Deadly Poison Tony Lees, a UK dentist for 40 years
says:
"In the scale of toxicity, fluorides fall between arsenic
and lead."
'Fluorosis' is the first sign of fluoride poisoning.
The external signs of this are mottling of the surface of the
teeth, and it progresses into actual deterioration of the tooth
enamel.
For pictures of teeth showing fluorosis, see:
www.fluoridation.com/
A UK government-commissioned study shows that 48% of children
who drink fluoridated water show signs of fluorosis. (The
Times, May 15th 2001)
But though overdosing on fluoride produces unsightly tooth
discolouration and deterioration, the real concern is what it
is doing inside the body.
In the skeleton itself, fluorosis damages bones and leads to
arthritis. There is no known cure or reversal for deterioration
of the skeleton due to fluorosis; it just has to be avoided in
the first place.
Cancer Causing Agent It is widely
thought that fluoride may cause cancer.
The National Toxicology Programme in America was commissioned
by the government to carry out a study into the relationship
between fluoride and cancer.
Several toxicologists have said that the findings of the report
show that there is a relationship - that fluoride does
appear to make you more likely to develop cancer.

Other Reactions To Fluorine There are plenty of
anecdotal cases of reactions to fluoride.
For example, 9-year old Alysia Cooke started to get leg pains,
flu-like symptoms, and headaches. Nothing could be found...
until brown mottling on her teeth was noticed. She stopped
using fluoride toothpaste - and the symptoms quickly
disappeared.
Why Use A Chemical Whose Efficacy Is Questioned By
Experts? If you look at the evidence, fluoride has
simply not been shown to be effective. And there are massive
question marks over its safety.
However, it is so widely used now, that many people would lose
face if it was to be withdrawn.
In fifty to a hundred years, putting fluoride in water and
adding it to toothpaste will be seen - along with using mercury
in fillings - for the disastrous mistake it surely is.
Quack-silver By the way, the forerunners of today's
chemists were called 'quacks' - the term more often used today
for practitioners in natural medicine. The name 'quack' derived
from 'quicksilver' - the common name for mercury.
Those early chemists has such trouble treating syphilis sores,
that they would try anything to cure them - even putting
poisons such as mercury, sulphur, and tar on the wounds.
It is ironic that practitioners in natural therapies are now
called the 'quacks', whereas the regular medical and dental
professions are still using poisons, such as mercury and the
sulfonamide drugs - based on sulphur.
An Expert's Opinion Phyllis J Mullenix Phd, a
pharmacologist and toxicologist, is Head of the Toxicology
Department at the Forsyth Dental Center, a world renowned
dental research institution affiliated with the Harvard Medical
School. She was angered by the inaccuracies contained in the
Calgary Regional Health Authority's "Position Statement on
Fluoridation". This statement reflects the sort of position
taken by the professional organisations and government in both
the UK and USA.
She wrote:
|
"This letter
expresses my concerns
about misstatements made
by the Calgary Regional
Health Authority (CRHA)
in their "Position
Statement on
Fluoridation". As a
toxicologist involved in
fluoride research for
over ten years, I was
stunned by the CRHA's
glib comments proclaiming
water fluoridation safe.
The "fifty years" of
studies about fluoride
safety, do not exist. The
"ongoing intensive
research on fluorides and
fluoridation", does not
exist, certainly none
investigating safety.
...Water fluoridation is not
the safe public health measure
we have been led to believe.
Concerns about uncontrolled
dosage, accumulation in the
body over time and effects
beyond the teeth (brain as well
as bones) have not been
resolved for fluoride. The
health of the citizens of
Calgary necessitates that you
consider all of the facts, not
just those that are politically
expedient."

It would be wise to reflect on the views of this dental and
toxicology expert before accepting your government's or
dentist's insistence that you use fluoride for yourself or your
family.
Fluoride has not been proven to be safe. It has been "assumed
innocent until proven guilty" - a dangerous position for a
chemical being force fed, in many cases, to an unaware
public.
Fluorosilicates? What Are These?
Americans have an additional problem to face. Years ago, many
authorities decided to substitute pharmaceutical grade sodium
fluoride with industrial grade fluorosilicates - by-products of
fertiliser production.
Why? Don't be silly - it's because it's much cheaper!
Not only is this 'fluoride' in a different form from usual - it
probably contains traces of other poisons such as arsenic and
lead.
Chiropractor Barry Forbes has an article about this - read it
at:
www.planetc1.com/cgi-bin/n/search.cgi?keyword=fluoride
Water Filters For Fluorine Removal? Standard carbon
water filters do not remove fluorine - the molecules are too
small.
If it is added in your areas, you have to use a 'reverse
osmosis' filter, or distill your water. Or stick to
bottled.
How Do I Reduce Fillings? And if you want to reduce
dental caries - holes in the teeth - the answer is pretty
simple:
- Clean your
teeth after every
meal, and most
importantly
-
- Reduce or
eliminate added
sugar!!!
|
|
It is sugar that causes holes in the
teeth. Cut out added sugar and the occurrence of fillings
almost disappears. Get sensible - get healthy - cut down
on sugars in the diet.
I know it's hard to avoid refined sugar - I know it's even
harder for your children. But at least ration your kids; don't
let them have 'sucking' sweets, which expose the teeth to
eroding sugars for extended periods; and get them to clean
their teeth immediately afterwards as the cost of being allowed
sweets.
My recommendation - whatever you do, don't ingest - or even
apply - fluoride. Even if fluoride did prevent fillings (which
is questionable) it would be better to have some fillings
(non-mercury ones!) than risk poisoning yourself with what is
probably a dangerous chemical.
And as for dentists - I know some lovely ones; but don't just
believe (without researching it for yourself) that fluoride is
safe. Remember, dentists also say that mercury (a known poison)
is completely inert when inserted in teeth. Why on earth should
it be? This, surely, is wishful thinking at its most extreme.
Why take the risk of using this poison in the mouth?
I strongly recommend you research this topic for yourself. I
predict you'll end up thinking the same as me.

...and the 'What Doctors Don't Tell You' issue for fluoridation
is good - Vol 9/12, March 1999 (+44 1858 438894,
mailto:wddty@zoo.co.uk ) We have no financial connection to
them by the way, we just think it's a valuable magazine with
some great - and well backed up - information.
Keep well - and keep those chemicals out of your body whenever
you can! Especially the deadly poisons.
