Fluoridation Update

Tribalism Rears its Ugly Head

BACKGROUND: Fluoridation is unsafe, illegal and ineffective.

1. In August 2024, the National Toxicology Systematic Review of high-quality studies that found that babies born to moms in 'optimally' fluoridated communities had lower IQ, as did babies fed formula prepared with fluoridated water. The lower IQ was correlated with individual fluoride exposure as some folks drink a lot more water (three times or more) than others and/or consume more foods prepared with that water and consequently receive higher doses. The NTP was firm in their determination that a maternal exposure of 1.5 mg/L resulted in lower offspring IQ.¹

2. In September 2024, the “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law" verdict in an extensive lawsuit ruled the EPA must take action to eliminate the “unreasonable risk” posed by fluoride in water based on science (including but not limited to NTP Report) that identifies even 0.28 mg/L (ppm) as a dangerous benchmark dose under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The EPA admitted in that trial that 1.5 mg/L (ppm) is a dose that definitively causes harm and that a safety factor of 10x should be applied to protect the population from a hazard. The EPA tried to argue they weren’t sure which concentration to use in their hazard calculations for safety in water, an argument that the Judge dismissed as a tenth of 1.5 is only 0.15 ppm and fluoridation is at 0.7 ppm. ²

3. In October 2024, the Cochrane Systematic Review on the effectiveness of fluoridation for reducing cavities found the 'clinically inconsequential' fraction of a single cavity less in children in fluoridated communities "may not be real" because of the high bias in the limited number of low-quality studies defending fluoridation. There is not only no economic savings from this fraction of a cavity less, but the very real increase in dental fluorosis that results in at least two stained teeth in more than half of American teens, many of whom will seek costly cosmetic dentistry to hide or repair the damage, is excessive. More than 10% of these teens will likely also have more brittle teeth requiring crowns in young adulthood. Veneers, crowns and routine fluoride treatments fund American dentistry which is close to a half TRILLION dollar industry. ³

You’d think the above would be enough to end fluoridation, wouldn’t you? Bobby Kennedy Jr. does. But narcissists, psychopaths, Machiavellians, and sadists who 1) profit from fluoridation policy, 2) delight in wielding power regardless of the impact on others, and 3) have positions committed to promoting the dental mythology are not giving up the fight. And they have convinced the media (which seems to be nursing hurt feelings that Trump/Vance won instead of Harris/Walz) to both ignore and misrepresent the major events of August, September and October - and it is only November!

CULTISM: It’s not about loyalty as much as it is about perspecticide, aka gaslighting.

In my opinion, Bobby Kennedy’s statement that the Trump administration would recommend an end to fluoridation helped secure Donald Trump his presidential win. But it also gave the narcissistic fluoride lobby and their army of flying monkeys an opportunity to engage in sadistic behavior.

Media and public health authorities are gaslighting us. They either pretend the scientific and legal record doesn’t exist, or tell us our perspective of things that are a matter of record from just the past few weeks is wrong. Some, including the CDC, have engaged in a little revisionist editing of articles in the public venue.

People who know nothing about the facts, including Caroline Kennedy and a host of doctors and reporters, have no hesitation in predicting that HHS Director Bobby Kennedy and Pres. Trump will bring back polio as well as destroy the teeth of our children. These clever Machiavellians engage in tribalistic identity politics and psychological warfare. Willfully blind of the evidence at hand, they have the audacity to say those of us who oppose fluoridation and want medical consent for any medical procedure, such as vaccination, are fear mongering.

• The Public Health magic potion narrative is seductive, but the fear mongers are those enmeshed in the public health narrative.

This week, a politician told me that she had to renege on sponsoring a state bill relevant to fluoridation policy because public health experts at the state level convinced her that no one should do anything that Bobby Kennedy supports. That it is more important to block Bobby Kennedy than to protect the developing brains of babies from a neurotoxin. She told me that public health authorities convinced her that she wasn’t equipped to understand the science, and this well-educated and professionally accomplished representative caved. She was triangulated into compliance by an army of flying monkeys.

Why the heck do we elect anyone? I’m a constituent who was harmed by fluoridation policy, as was my child, and despite her advocacy for women and children, she won’t help me and every other woman and child because it might help Bobby Kennedy bring back polio?⁴

NEXT STEPS: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills!” - Winston Churchill

We often wonder about the German people who complied with the Nazi regime; how did they ignore the facts before their eyes? We also wonder about the rationale of abused women who stay with their abuser in difficult circumstances. The reason is the same for both groups: It is easier to comply with bullies and power structures than resist. It is easier to believe the propaganda and adopt authoritative opinions than to think for ourselves. It is easier to pull the covers over our head than to march into battle.

If it wasn’t for the resolve of Winston Churchill and FDR, World War II would have ended differently. Neither man was perfect, but those two men had the strength of character and charisma to rally the resistance. They may have had an easier job of it than we do today in that they had more cooperation on the part of the media, but although we don’t have to face bullets and bombs, we face very real abuse.

It takes psychological courage to face down the armies of flying monkeys and tyrannical narcissists motivated to destroy us.

1. We need to remind our Water Departments that they have the authority to suspend fluoridation for any reason if in their professional opinion it is threatening the health of consumers.

2. We need to convince our City Councils and Boards of Selectmen on the local level that they have a duty to consider the evidence of harm and end fluoridation programs which are a medical assault and battery on their most vulnerable constituents who include pregnant women and their offspring; bottle-fed infants; the elderly; and those in fragile health, such as diabetics and those with thyroid, kidney and inflammatory disease.

3. We need to visit our State Politicians and demand they sponsor bills to ban adding fluoridation water additives to our water supplies and to warn consumers on their annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) when fluoride in drinking water is at or above 0.3 ppm that it poses a health risk to pregnant women and their offspring; bottle-fed infants; the elderly; and those in fragile health, such as diabetics and those with thyroid, kidney and inflammatory disease.

In short, we cannot allow a tribe of narcissistic players to sweep factual evidence into a Memory Hole. We need to fight on every battlefield, support Bobby Kennedy as Director of HHS, and be prepared with the evidence that proves fluoridation is an immoral medical mandate that is harmful, unethical and ineffective.

2. “Today’s ruling represents an important acknowledgement of a large and growing body of science indicating serious human health risks associated with fluoridated drinking water. This court looked at the science and acted accordingly. Now the EPA must respond by implementing new regulations that adequately protect all Americans – especially our most vulnerable infants and children – from this known health threat.” - Wenonah Hauter, Director of Food & Water Watch in “Historic Court Decision in Fluoridation Toxicity Case Orders EPA to Act” (Sept. 25, 2024)

• UNSAFE: p. 2:  the Court finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”) – the level presently considered “optimal” in the United States – poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children.

• HAZARD: p 5:   The pooled benchmark dose analysis concluded that a 1-point drop in IQ of a child is to be expected for each 0.28 mg/L of fluoride in a pregnant mother’s urine. This is highly concerning, because maternal urinary fluoride levels for pregnant mothers in the United States range from 0.8 mg/L at the median and 1.89 mg/L depending upon the degree of exposure. Not only is there an insufficient margin between the hazard level and these exposure levels, for many, the exposure levels exceed the hazard level of 0.28 mg/L.

• CERTAINTY: p. 77: The scientific literature in the record provides a high level of certainty that a hazard is present; fluoride is associated with reduced IQ. There are uncertainties presented by the underlying data regarding the appropriate point of departure and exposure level to utilize in this risk evaluation. But those uncertainties do not undermine the finding of an unreasonable risk; in every scenario utilizing any of the various possible points of departures, exposure levels and metrics, a risk is present in view of the applicable uncertainty factors that apply.

• VULNERABILITY: p. 76: The size of the affected population is vast. Approximately 200 million Americans have fluoride intentionally added to their drinking water at a concentration of 0.7 mg/L. See Dkt. No. 421 at 206-07 (undisputed). Other Americans are indirectly exposed to fluoridated water through consumption of commercial beverages and food manufactured with fluoridated water

• SUSCEPTIBILITY: p. 76: Approximately two million pregnant women, and over 300,000 exclusively formula-fed babies are exposed to fluoridated water. The number of pregnant women and formula-fed babies alone who are exposed to water fluoridation each year exceeds entire populations exposed to conditions of use for which EPA has found unreasonable risk; the EPA has found risks unreasonable where the population impacted was less than 500 people.

4. The polio vaccine was and is a flop. More than 70% of the polio in the world is vaccine induced and there is more paralysis with much higher mortality in India among the vaccinated than there ever was from polio, but they don’t call it polio. Even in 1959-1960 America, one in six cases of polio was among those who had received three or more doses of the vaccine, while most of the rest had received one or two doses.
