Something in the water
While massive radiation spreads into the
ocean and corporations privatize water for
profit, an even more alarming crime is being
perpetrated against our population. If you've
heard of water fluoridation and it doesn't
make your blood boil, it's because you're
still under the spell of the lies that were
ingrained into society decades ago.
This atrocity has been justified with a simple reason: It prevents tooth decay. Dentists advocate for fluoride, praising its use and in the progress making it a norm in our society. Most of the world is aware of the dangers of water fluoridation; in fact only about 30 per cent of the planet accepts this stupidity. It's a shame that Canada blindly follows American standards. From GMOs to water fluoridation, this foolish acceptance of their society will have a resounding impact upon our own.
This lie has a rather disturbing history, and will leave the logical thinker truly concerned. It begins in America circa early 1900s: The Industrial Age. This was the time when big factories and smog clouds were the norm. Workers became exposed to many dangerous substances in their line of work, fluorine gas amongst the worst. By the '30s, the Aluminum industry was the biggest polluter of this toxic waste. The Aluminum Company of America, or ALCOA, was at the top. At the same time, the U.S. Public Health Services was under the direct jurisdiction of the Secretary of Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon. Coincidentally, Mellon was a founder and major stockholder of ALCOA. He was also the founder of the Mellon Institute, and Industry funded research institute that was responsible for providing industries with the “scientific data” to defend itself. It was this institute that put forth the idea of the effectiveness of fluoride in fighting tooth decay.
On January 25, 1945, the town of Grand Rapids, Michigan became the first town to publicly fluoridate their water supply. Brantford became the first city in Canada to do so the same year. London started proudly fluoridating the water supply in the late '60s. Fluorosilicic acid is a byproduct from phosphate fertilizing, which is being added as a fluoridating agent to our water. A lot of this is being imported from phosphate fertilizing industries in countries like Mexico, China and Japan. We are literally buying toxic waste and putting it in our water with the pretext that it is beneficial to our dental health.
The spread of fluoride in our society is sickening. It isn't only in toothpaste and our water, it can also be found in food and most beverages. Dental fluorosis is a tooth staining condition that is affecting a growing number of our youth. Did I mention nursing water for infants contains extra fluoride?
The effects of fluoridated water on our health are pretty serious. It increases the aging process, increases the risk of cancer and tumour growth, causes genetic damage, interrupts DNA repair-enzyme activity, lowers IQ, weakens bones, inactivates 62 enzymes, increases arthritis and disrupts the immune system. It is a systematic poison.
