1. Fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen and leads
to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage,
lungs, kidney and trachea.

2. Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption
in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the white
blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the blood.
Robert A. Clark, "Neutrophil Iodintion Reaction Induced by
Fluoride: Implications for Degranulation and Metabolic Activation,"
Blood, Vol 57, pp.913-921 (1981).
3. Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of white
blood cells to properly destroy foreign agents by the process of
phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm fluoride stimulates superoxide
production in resting white blood cells, virtually abolishing phagocytosis.
Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 1ppm, may seriously
depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.

Research, Beijing, China, September 5-9, 1994.
12. Fluoride studies in rats can be indicative of a potential for
motor disruption, intelligence deficits and learningdisabilities
in humans. Humans are exposed to plasma levels of fluoride as high
as those in rat studies. Fluoride involves interruption of normal
brain development. Fluoride affects the hipppcampus in the brain,
which integrates inputs from the environment, memory, and motivational
stimuli, to produce behavioral decisions and modify memory. Experience
with other developmental neurotoxicants prompts expectations that
changes in behavioral functions will be comparable across species,
especially humans and rats.

of Sodium Fluoride in Rats", Muellenix, Denbesten, Schunior,

harmful levels.

14. "Fluorides are general protoplasma poisons, with the capacity
to modify the metabolism of cells by inhibting certain enzymes.
Sources of fluoride intoxication include drinking water containing
1ppm or more of fluorine."
Journal of the American Medical Association, September 18, 1943.
15. "Drinking water containing as little as 1.2 ppm fluoride
will cause developmental disturbances. We cannot run the risk of
producing such serious systemic disturbances. The potentialities
for harm outweigh those for good."
Journal of the American Dental Association, Editorial, October
1, 1944.
Other Facts
The contents of a family-size tube of fluoridated toothpaste is
enough to kill a 25-pound child.
In 1991, the Akron (Ohio) Regional Poison Center reported that
"death has been reported following ingestion of 16mg/kg of
fluoride. Only 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride could kill a 100 pound
adult. According to the Center, "fluoride toothpaste contains
up to 1mg/gram of fluoride." Even Proctor and Gamble, the makers
of Crest, acknowledge that a family-sized tube "theoretically
contains enough fluoride to kill a small child."
Fluorides have been used to modify behavior and mood of human beings.
It is a little known fact that fluoride compounds were added to
the drinking water of prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit
questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison camps in World War
II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia.
Fluorides are medically categorized as protoplasmic poisons, which
is why they are used to kill rodents.
1943 The Journal of the American Medical Association on September
18, 1943, states, "fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons,
changing the permeability of the cell membrane by inhibiting certain
enzymes. The exact mechanismof such actions are obscure.".
Fluoride consumption by human beings increases the general cancer
death rate.
1975 Dr. John Yiamouyiannis publishes a preliminary survey which
shows that people in fluoridated areas have a higher cancer death
rate than those in non-fluoridated areas. The National Cancer Institute
attempts to refute the studies. Later in 1975, Yiamouyiannis joins
with Dr. Dean Burk, chief chemist of the National Cancer Institute
(1939-1974) in performing other studies which are then included
in the Congressional Record by Congressman Delaney, who was the
original author of the Delaney Amendment, which prohibited the addition
of cancer-causing substances to food used for human consumption.
Both reports confirmed the existence of a link between fluoridation
and cancer. (Note: Obviously Dr. Burk felt free to agree with scientific
truth only after his tenure at NCI ended, since his job depended
on towing the party line).
Fluorides have little or no effect on decay prevention in humans:
In 1990 Dr. John Colquhoun is forced into early requirement in
New Zealand after he conducts a study on 60,000 school children
and finds no difference in tooth decay between fluoridated and unfluoridated
areas. He additionally finds that a substantial number of children
in fluoridated areas suffered from dental fluorosis. He makes the
study public. There is no scientific data that shows that fluoride
mouth rinses and tablets are safe for human use.
1989 A study by Hildebolt, et al. on 6,000 school children contradicts
any alleged benefit from the use of sodium fluorides.
In 1990 a study by Dr.John Yiamouyiannis on 39,000 school children
contradicts any alleged benefits from the use of sodium fluorides.
In 1992 Michael Perrone, a legislative assistant in New Jersey,
contacts the FDA requesting all information regarding the safety
and effectiveness of fluoride tablets and drops. After 6 months
of stalling, the FDA admitted they had no data to show that fluoride
tablets or drops were either safe or effective. They informed Perrone
that they will "probably have to pull the tablets and drops
off the market."
The fact that fluoride toothpastes and school-based mouth rinses
are packaged in aluminum accentuates the effect on the body.
In 1976, Dr. D.W.Allman and co-workers from Indiana University
School of Medicine feed animals 1 part-per-million (ppm) fluoride
and found that in the presence of aluminum in a concentration as
small as 20 parts per billion, (like in a toothpaste tube, using
aluminum pans to boil water, or drinking beverages in aluminum cans),
fluoride is able to cause an even larger increase in cyclic AMP
levels. Cyclic AMP inhibits the migration rate of white blood cells,
as well as the ability of the white blood cell to destroy pathogenic
organisms. Ref: Journal of Dental Research, Vol 55, Sup B, p523,
1976, "Effect of Inorganic Fluoride Salts on Urine and Tissue
Cyclic AMP Concentration in Vivo". (Note: It is no small accident
that toothpaste tubes containing fluoride are often made of aluminum)
