FLUORIDATION STRANGER THAN FICTION

THE GENESIS OF SCIENTIFIC FRAUD

By Glen S.R. Walker

Fluoridation with its intellectually dishonest promotion by influential and wealthy organisations, including Parliaments, has demonstrated the ease with which any principle can be destroyed. Sorcery replaces purebred standards of chemistry, medicine, dentistry and above all else pharmacology.

Politicians of all kinds, councils, health departments, all board the gravy train with no indicator sign showing where they are going health-wise!

The greatest scientific "new turnaround" in world scientific history commenced with fluoridation which was strongly and scientifically, medically and indeed dentally condemned by the highest authorities in the world of science.

The Victorian Government Inquiry into the Fluoridation of Victorian Water Supplies 1980 stated:

"Much of the information available to the public is sensational, ill-informed, incomplete or misleading.

We consider that the community should be kept informed not only of any decisions the Government should make but also of the reasons for these decisions."

This "kept informed" is processed by refusing to answer correspondence relating to their questionable statements on compulsory fluoridation! Back in 1943 the American Medical Association in an Editorial stated:

"Fluorides are "general protoplasmic poisons" with the capacity to "modify the metabolism of cells" by "inhibiting certain enzyme systems". It further stated that "the sources of fluorine intoxication are drinking water containing 1 part per million or more of fluorine."

During 1944 another Editorial this time in: "The Journal of the American Dental Association warned:

Use of 'drinking water containing as little as 1.2 to 3.0 parts per million of fluoride will cause such developmental disturbances in bones as osteosclerosis, spondylosis and osteopetrosis, as well as goiter and we cannot afford to run the risk of producing such serious systemic disturbances in applying what is at present a doubtful procedure intended to prevent development of dental disfigurements among children. Further, in the light of our present knowledge or lack of knowledge of the chemistry of the subject (fluorine), the potentialities for harm far outweigh those for good'."

Perhaps the British Dental Journal in 1970 made an important addition to the dental fluoridation scientific gobbledegook:

"Perhaps the greatest deterrent to meaningful political engagement of dentists in the promotion of water fluoridation is the mistaken but widespread assumption that to do so they must have full and complete knowledge of the detailed and voluminous scientific literature on the relationship of water fluoridation to dental and general health. They do not ...as soon as dentists recognise their responsibility in the politics of fluoridation, their performance will be outstanding. In politics, the emphasis is on propagandising rather than on education."

"In 1952, a former state health director, Dr. A.L. Miller, then a United States representative from Nebraska and Chairman of the Special Committee on Chemicals in Foods, addressed Congress about water fluoridation. While expressing understandable consternation over the complete reversal of opinion regarding fluoridation by USPHS officials in only a three month period, he went on to add:

'I am certain that the dental profession merely echoes and endorses the opinions of the Public Health Services. They have done little experimental work themselves.'

Continuing, he stated:

'Mr. Speaker, despite my best efforts, and from the evidence before my committee, I cannot find any public evidence that gave me the impression that the American Medical Association, the American Dental Association, or several other health agencies, now recommending the fluoridation of water, had done any original work of their own. These groups were simply endorsing each other's opinions.'

He added that all the basic science experts and researchers advocated going much more slowly with the possible use of fluoride. He then averred:

'I believe that the dental profession and other public-minded individuals, like myself, have been misled by the Public Health Service, because all of the facts have not been made available upon this subject'." (Extraordinary Science - 1944)

The misinformation mentioned in the Hamer Victorian Government Report "ill-informed, incomplete or misleading etc. etc/' makes a political and medical mockery of honest dentistry.

"The National Institute of Dental Research told Congressional Appropriations Fiscal year 1985 that in 1974, 38 per cent of dentists were using "pit and fissure sealants"; and 58 per cent by 1982. Since then, massive campaigns by dentistry have increased this percentage enormously in Federal and State programs, in insurance programs and private dentistry.

The entangled fluoride salesmen make many tongue in cheek statements such as the following from the publication, Dentistry Dental Practice, and Community, in which they state:

'Sealants and their associated composite products are among the most exciting technological developments in dentistry.'

In the 1980's the American Dental Association and others in dentistry stated that 85 per cent of cavities occurred in pits and fissures, and that these surfaces should be sealed. The director of the U.S.A. National Institute of Dental Research Dr. Loe, told an Appropriation Committee:

'. . . fluorides don't really get access to these pitted areas. Today these are the tooth surfaces that are most prone to develop cavities.'

Dr Loe also cited the use of sealants. Those in dentistry research have stated many times that 'sealants will prevent tooth decay by 100 per cent in the occlusal chewing surfaces, the pits and fissures where most decay occurs and are not prevented by fluoride.'

Dr. Loe has also been reported as stating that 'much of the decline in the rate of tooth decay in children can be attributed to the growing use of sealants'." (Extraordinary Science 1994)

London, The Sunday Telegraph, 1st December, 1996 -reported it -

"learned of research, kept hidden in America for 50 years, suggesting fluoride can damage the Nervous System and Teeth."

The Melbourne Age, 14th December, 1994 reported:

"Professor Eric Reynolds from Melbourne University's School of Dental Science stated:

"Tooth decay remains a significant health problem despite fluoride in our drinking water, and The Australian Institute of Health Statistics show that in 1991 the health costs of dental caries or decay amounted to $471 million. The 1993 National Oral Health Survey found that 98 per cent of 21-to-29 year olds suffered tooth decay."

As the bell tolls on fluoridation myths and its history of scientific dental deceit, new and old data goes "unseen" and "unwanted" by the Fluoride Mafia that controls artificial fluoridation and those involved in its extraordinary claims of safety and effectiveness.

The Hopewood Story

In Melbourne University 24th June, 1981, Professor E. Storey, Professor of Child Dental Health, lectured under the title, "Land of Milk and Honey".

As an example of diet relationship to dental decay Professor Storey showed slides that illustrated the diet of children from the Hopewood Home in Bowral, New South Wales.

Anyone interested in children and a love for mankind should have a copy of the book A Gift of Love, the history of Leslie Owen Bailey and his Hopewood home for children. An example of love and commonsense, a combination that records results not equalled in drugs and medicine.

Leslie Bailey wrote these words in 1944:

"In the course of a few years, when we are able to demonstrate about a hundred children, with sound teeth, and health records well above average, we will be in a position to encourage others to pay more attention to our child welfare methods."

On 6th November, 1963, he wrote:

"The high-pressure salesmanship of the drug companies has succeeded in weaning the medical profession from those demonstrable truths and, in lieu thereof, to employ high-priced drugs which merely mask the consequences of wrong living, but do not restore real health, such as that of Dr. Alan Carroll who continued his active work up to the age of 105 years."

On p.172 of the book we find this important statement:

"The water was drawn from the town supply. This water has been examined (Jones 1949) for the presence of fluoride but none was detected." (Emphasis added)

Professor Storey was obviously impressed with the results at "Hopewood", because he dwelt on the subject of Hopewood children's outstanding teeth compared with other communities in Australia.

The Professor also spent time with his illustrated diet chart from Hopewood, all of which pointed to the present causes of dental decay - NOT THE NECESSITY OF FLUORIDE.

A notation on the Hopewood House Report from the Institute of Dental Research, United Dental Hospital of Sydney, Australia. (The Medical Journal of Australia, 20th June, 1953, pp.879-881) says:

"We wish to acknowledge the assistance given by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia."

So the N.H.M.R.C. were well aware of this outstanding study of children's teeth in 1953, the same year they decided, "lack of fluoride" was the cause of dental decay. Their endorsement of fluoridation was also 1953.

The Medical Journal, issue of February 20, 1960, attested that after a ten year examination period, the Hopewood children continued to show a "remarkable" freedom from dental caries:

"At the end of the ten-year period the dental decay experience was conspicuously less than in the general child population of the State of New South Wales, an observation in line with those made in earlier years (1947 to 1952 inclusive). Thus State school-children had 10.7 (mean value) decay, missing or filled permanent teeth per child at age 13 years, whereas the corresponding figure for Hopewood House children was 1.6. The proportion of children having no dental decay at age 13 years was 0.4% for the State school-children and 53% for Hopewood House children. Such a contrast is truly remarkable."

The article, as a whole, was in the nature of an appeal to the medical profession, 'to help in establishing sound dietetic practices amongst the population (of Australia)', based on practically applying the lessons learned from Hopewood House. Portions of this report are quoted herewith.

Page 184 continues:

"It is therefore little short of miraculous that this State of New South Wales, in which the above-mentioned survey was made, should have within its border a group of children aged 9 to 16 years who are relatively free from dental decay. The obvious question is: 'Why are they so different in this respect?'"

Pages of interesting reports from the Medical Journal of Australia are well worth reading, all of which prove this unique "blind testing" of children's teeth at Hopewood.

On p.172 an M.J.A. Report explains:

"The type of life led by the children is what is generally described as 'healthy'; that is to say, they are well housed and well clothed, and have regular meals and regular exercise under supervision. Those of school age attend school; the younger ones attend a kindergarten within the home itself. As far as possible, the children are made to feel that they are a large family living in what is virtually their own home."

DIET

A study of any group of children living under controlled conditions is likely to prove interesting, but our interest in the Hopewood House group was considerably heightened by the fact that these children were 'protected' from refined carbohydrates. We therefore made frequent visits to the kitchen, food-stores and dining rooms at meal times, and, although we have not kept a complete record, the diet consisted mainly of wholemeal bread, wholemeal biscuits, wholemeal porridge, fruits fresh and dried), vegetables (cooked and raw), a small amount of meat, butter, cheese, eggs, milk, fruit juices, honey or molasses as a sweetening agent on occasion, and nuts. (Youth Welfare Association of Australia, Annual Report, 1949).

As far as possible, food was taken uncooked and/or with a minimum of preparation, the idea being to present the food in its natural state. Notable for their absence from the diet were such items as sugar (white and brown), white flour products (including cakes and sweet biscuits) and any combination of these items. No tea was used.

Did the Doctors, Dentists or Politicians learn anything from this remarkable home for children? NO!

The "Hopewood Home for Children Report" was supplied to the Hamer Victorian Government Inquiry into Fluoridation 1980 BUT the three selected Committee members made no mention of it in their Report!

Leslie Owen Bailey will be remembered for his love of children and his stand against the Establishment, who projected their usual animosity against him and the Hopewood Home that was proving just how wrong the Establishment were compared with his methods of DENTAL CARE without fluoridation.

One wonders if the Hamer Committee Report will be remembered for its part in improving the lives of children.

In Hopewood Home we have a proper Study in Australia, regarded by the Medical Journal of Australia as "little short of miraculous" but not rating the slightest mention in the Government Hamer Report.

The details of the Hopewood Home study were the basis of a submission to the Hamer Committee by this Author. (Fluoridation Poison on Tap).

Did the Fluoridation Committee learn anything? Were the Government members and the public made aware of our Submissions on the above? NO, NO, NO!

Durri Aboriginal Service, Kempsey, N.S.W. 1990-1994

"The water at the Mackay Valley Centre is NOT fluoridated but with proper care, the children's teeth, during that particular 4 year study recorded a dental decay reduction of 38%." (Dental Therapy Programme, Durri Aboriginal Medical Services. Kempsey N.S.W. 1990-1994).

"There's none so blind as they that won't see." (Jonathan Swift 1667-1745). Or join the Pro-Fluoridation Scientific Raffle - it's fun, nobody ever knows the winner.

The Australian Disease "Apathy" is more serious than any known mental problem, even though it is displayed every day in so many ways.

Apathy is synonymous with the 1939 Joseph Goebbel's principles of propaganda that by continuous repetition the myth becomes a FACT. That is the FACT of fluoridation promotion, the parroting of scientific nonsense hoping it becomes an accepted principle of medical research which of course it never was and never will be.

Goebbels made his famous statement on the German propaganda - His "propaganda must arrive under strict protection." That sounds like today's promotion of fluoridation!

Simple dental FACTS must be ignored, otherwise they will kill organised fluoridation propaganda if allowed out in the public arena.

The Victorian Government is the most aggressive promoter of fluoridation, but supply large coloured POSTERS for display outside dentists' rooms stating:

"THERE'S A BETTER WAY - SEAL YOUR CHILDREN'S TEETH AGAINST DECAY". (Copy of POSTER - Australian Fluoridation News Nov-Dec 1998)

Sealants are the greatest ploy used to cover up the failure of fluoridation.

In 1987, Dr. A.S. Gray - Director of Dental Health Services, District of British Columbia, Canada, stated:

"Recent reports indicate that today, 83 per cent of all caries in North American children are pit and fissure cavities that are not considered preventable by fluorides, they are prevented by sealants."

Sealants are the accepted means of stopping tooth decay and recommended by all Health Departments throughout the World without one iota of dental debate because it is dental FACT.

If only the World was faced with similar scientific (practical and common sense) assurance that fluoridation stops tooth decay and all their mythical hype were TRUE, professional groups would regain respect in their relative actions and arena.

Fluoridation hope by their spin Doctors is based on unscientific conclusions derived from propaganda studies most of which are data on children's teeth.

The scientific problem, completely ignored by Government and those who make up that kind of public representation, is their choice of commercialism rather than true science.

There is an indisputable scientific statistical law relating to dental studies called BLIND EXAMINATIONS necessary to avoid BIAS.

This means the examiner is unaware whether or not the person examined is taking part in such experimental treatment.

EXAMINER ERROR AND BIAS

In a submission made under oath in 1981 in the High Court, Edinburgh, Dr John Yiamouyiannis stated:

"Furthermore, no double-blind or even well-controlled blind testing has ever been done in which it has been shown that 1 part per million fluoride added to the drinking water of humans reduces tooth decay and therefore no sound scientific basis has ever been established for adding fluoride to the public water supplies for the purpose of reducing tooth decay."

"The fact that no double-blind studies on humans have ever been performed showing that fluoride added to the drinking water at 1 part per million reduces tooth decay has been admitted by the British Department of Health and Social Security through a letter to Dr Yiamouyiannis from Dr Rogers."

It is clear that this major requirement of a scientific study has not been fulfilled in fluoridation trials.

A "commonsense" study into fluoridation data would fill books of learning because the enormous health variables in every person are never considered because such data would reduce dental fluoridation science to its rightful place in the rubbish bin of pretended science.

Even politicians know fluoridation has failed to stop dental decay.

The Australian, 1st February, 2004, reported "the Leader of the Opposition, Mark Latham, would spend $120 million a year to end the 'scandal' of needy Australians unable to get dental treatment."

He reported to the A.L.P. National Conference that there were 500,000 Australian people waiting for dental care.

Latham follows the ploy of fluoridation pushers by claiming the disadvantaged (pensioners) who are suffering. He also proudly mentioned the 1946 change to the Australian Constitution (51, xxiiiA).

Two important points require clarification -

(1) Labor aggressively supports compulsory fluoridation, legally identified as compulsory medication. The Constitution amendment mentioned by Latham, states there cannot be "any conscription" in dental and medical services".

(2) That democratic inclusion in the Constitution actually prohibits compulsory mass medication by fluoridation. Seems Mr Latham has his political fluoridation knowledge rather flummoxed!

What is the "official supreme claim" about fluoridation that relates to Mr Latham's tears of despair relative to the dental disaster in Australia?

The Fluoride Lobby including Mr Latham's Australian Labor Party, have a Party Policy stating fluoridation is important because of its great benefit to the disadvantaged population.

Is that a Policy of sound proven science, and is it clearly evident in the Australian population covering all people? And, if so, where are these beneficiaries of fluoridation when $400 million immediate dental health is needed and a further $120 million each year to do something that fluoridation is claimed to have succeeded in doing already.

The original dental, medical and political fluoridation promises and guarantees are buried in sorcery gobbledegook, encased in Australian Law!!! Some hide under it as Democracy and Truth by Government.

Today's election buzz-word is TRUTH and TRUST US!!

Perhaps after many years of compulsory fluoridation, the past Prime Minister of Australia, Mr Malcolm Fraser, answered the scientific fluoridation conundrum of political action when he said:

"Life is not meant to be easy."

That sums up the political situation of dealing with Parliaments and politicians. They can run but never hide!
