Fluoridated Water - National Cancer Institute



Fluoride: The Hard to Swallow Truth :
Director: Joe Martino | Producer: Collective Evolution

Genre: Documentary | Produced In: 2011 | Story Teller's Country: Canada

Synopsis: This documentary takes you through a journey about fluoride and how a class-4 hazardous waste product has made its way into community water supplies. It explores the initial theories behind the effectiveness of fluoride and where they originated. It then goes on to show the lack of science behind the use of fluoride and reveals fluoride as a toxic waste substance that is being pumped into our drinking water as a means for companies to dispose of waste they would otherwise have to pay millions to dispose of.

I grew up in Prince Georges County 1996-1882, When my family was 
stationed in Maryland
we had well water and soon there after, the county changed to city water
 w/fluoride. Since this time, (except in the summer w/our grandparents of 
Bennettesville, SC;their city water was found to have carcinogenics and fluoride) 
I have been using water through osmosis (Edisto Beach, SC) 
and well (tested) water klsb,2014

  • Prince George gets rid of fluoride in water. Tue, Dec 16 – Starting next year, Prince George will stop adding fluoride to the city's water supply.

      4. 26) Fluoride affects thyroid function. According to the U.S. National Research Council (2006), “several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride exposure onthyroid function.” In the Ukraine, Bachinskii (1985) found a lowering of thyroid function, among otherwise healthy people, at 2.3 ppm fluoride in water. In the middle of the 20th century, fluoride was prescribed by a number of European doctors to reduce the activity of the thyroid gland for those suffering from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) (Stecher 1960; Waldbott 1978). According to a clinical study by Galletti and Joyet (1958), the thyroid function of hyperthyroid patients was effectively reduced at just 2.3 to 4.5 mg/day of fluoride ion. To put this finding in perspective, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS, 1991) has estimated that total fluoride exposure in fluoridated communities ranges from 1.6 to 6.6 mg/day. This is a remarkable fact, particularly considering the rampant and increasing problem of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) in the United States and other fluoridated countries. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include depression, fatigue, weight gain, muscle and joint pains, increased cholesterol levels, and heart disease. In 2010, the second most prescribed drug of the year was Synthroid (sodium levothyroxine) which is a hormone replacement drug used to treat an underactive thyroid.
        27) Fluoride causes arthritic symptoms. Some of the early symptoms of skeletal fluorosis (a fluoride-induced bone and joint disease that impacts millions of people in India, China, and Africa), mimic the symptoms of arthritis (Singh 1963; Franke 1975; Teotia 1976; Carnow 1981; Czerwinski 1988; DHHS 1991). According to a review on fluoridation published in Chemical & Engineering News, “Because some of the clinical symptoms mimic arthritis, the first two clinical phases of skeletal fluorosis could be easily misdiagnosed” (Hileman 1988). Few, if any, studies have been done to determine the extent of this misdiagnosis, and whether the high prevalence of arthritis in America (1 in 3 Americans have some form of arthritis – CDC, 2002) and other fluoridated countries is related to growing fluoride exposure, which is highly plausible. Even when individuals in the U.S. suffer advanced forms of skeletal fluorosis (from drinking large amounts of tea), it has taken years of misdiagnoses before doctors finally correctly diagnosed the condition as fluorosis.
