CDC FLUORIDE WARNING

The CDC released a fluoride warning in 2007 which states that children under the age of 8 should not be exposed to fluoride because of a growing epidemic of "dental fluorosis" in the US.


Dental fluorosis is a condition caused solely by the consumption of fluoride, and is evident by pitting of the teeth as well as white and brown stains. White stains indicate mild to moderate amounts of systemic fluoride poisoning, while brown stains are a sign of even higher amounts of poisonous fluoride in the body.

"In children younger than 8 years of age, combined fluoride exposure from all sources - water, food, toothpaste, mouth rinse, or other products - contributes to enamel fluorosis. Currently one-third (33%) of children aged 12 to 15 years in the United States have very mild to mild forms of this condition."

- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Most people have never heard about this warning and many can't afford to do anything about it. I can't help but wonder what lies ahead for these children, knowing that fluoride causes numerous symptoms and diseases, including cancer of the bone, which is where most fluoride in the body is stored.

Drinking fluoride also hardens teeth and causes them to break off, while doing nothing to prevent cavities.

Despite this, the CDC continues to support water fluoridation and claims it is safe. One visit to Fluoride Action Network, a site full of scientific studies on fluoride and water fluoridation, should convince anyone that the CDC is either completely ignorant, flat-out lying, or being paid off.


GOVERNMENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Water fluoridation recently began in San Diego, despite being previously rejected in city-wide elections in 1954 and 1968.

Kevin Fauloner, a San Diego District 2 City Council member, was the vice president of the number 1 public relations firm for US chemical manufacturers, McDonald's, pharmaceutical companies and the CDC.

It's important to note that fluoride is a toxic waste and very expensive for such companies to dispose of, except when city council members decide to fluoridate their municipalities, which results in tax payers purchasing the fluoride at inflated prices for the purpose of dumping it in their water mains.

Does this sound like someone dedicated to doing what's best for your health? Can you trust him to vote against the interests of the very fluoride-burdened companies he previously promoted, as well as the CDC?

How could anyone with a conscience promote DuPont, maker of fluoridated cookware, and the CDC at the same time? It should be called the "Centers for Disease Cultivation" rather than "Control."

This former vice president of big business is now in a position to pay back those who helped make him rich, just as the vice president of the US did when he granted his former employer the only contract in Iraq (Dick Cheney is still receiving a financial package from Haliburton). Big business has hijacked the US Government.

It's important for the people of San Diego to get involved in the fluoride debate now.

You are actually buying the trash they must dispose of with your money, and then paying them to put it in your water.

Fauloner's former employer, Porter Novelli, also invented the food pyramid. This shows what a joke the food pyramid is, when the same people who created it are also paid to promote McDonald's. A number of special interest groups were also involved in the formation of the faulty pyramid, such as candy makers. These were business men, not physicians or nutritionists.


SAN DIEGO WATER FLUORIDATION

"In December 2007, the City of San Diego began receiving fluoridated treated water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California through the San Diego County Water Authority. The City water supply currently consists of approximately 9 percent of imported treated water. Because this is only a small portion of the City water supply, not all areas of the City receive fluoridated water. In addition, due to seasonal demands and operational changes, fluoride levels will vary throughout the system over time."

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

Low-income families cannot afford to purchase bottled water, and there is no commercially sold filter that removes fluoride for more than 1-2 weeks, despite claims that they do.

Join your neighbors at 2pm, or if you can't make it, send your elected officials your thoughts on this subject by emailing the mayor and city council members.
