Doctored water - water fluoridation improves dental health but may increase mortality risk

Fluoride is not cheap. The Los Angeles Times reported that the initial cost of the Los Angeles County fluoridation program was $10 million for equipment and installation. Each subsequent year will cost $700,000 for supplies and service. It is an expensive business. The damage to organs, skeletons, nerves, and brains will be the greatest cost.

Some charge opponents with believing fluoridation to be a Communist plot. There is an interesting story associated with that.

During World War II, Major Racey Jordan was in charge of Lend Lease air cargo flights to the Soviet Union departing from a U.S. base in Helena, Montana. The Soviets were our allies, and Uncle Sam sent them anything they wanted. Russian officials were on the scene at Helena to help direct the shipments. When Major Jordan noticed the inordinate amounts of regular shipments of fluoride, he asked how it was needed for the war effort. Boris and Ivan explained that Premier Stalin ordered fluoride put into the water at the prison camps to induce a spirit of lethargy in prisoners-of-war and inmates in Siberia, to make them easier to control. The incident is recounted in Major Racey Jordan's Diary. This episode might possibly be the origin of the notion of a Communist conspiracy to advance fluoride agendas.

In the 1940's, both the Communists and the Nazis were interested in controlling prisoners and the occupied populations, and fluoride was probably employed in many cases. It appears that fluoride has had a poor reputation throughout Europe for many years. At least 100 years ago, the mind-altering and behavior-changing potential of fluoride was well known and described in prominent references, such as the Encyclopedia of Materia Medica. It was no secret, except in the U.S., where we still do not speak of it.

Are we Americans soft-headed, robotic, and submissive? Or do we consider ourselves too busy to care? When Premier Khrushchev of the Soviet Union toured the U.S. in 1959, he commented, "When you spit in the Americans' faces, they call it dew."

Remember the names William Kennerly and Jason Burton. They were true martyrs of this toxic madness. In his book, Fluoride, The Aging Factor (Health Action Press, Delaware, Ohio), Dr. John Yiamouyiannis described how two young boys perished by fluoride tablets and by a coating that was performed in the dentist's office. Dr. Yiamouyiannis has degrees in biochemistry and is the leading statistical expert in the struggle to inform. As reported in The New York Times (January 20, 1979), William Kennerly's parents were awarded $750,000 for his death, caused by an application of fluoride after routine teeth cleaning at a dental clinic. On November 3, 1979, the Melbourne Truth reported Jason Burton's tragic death from swallowing six fluoride tablets.

In Baltimore, Maryland, in 1979, too much fluoride was dumped into the public water system and resulted in acute poisoning for approximately 10,000 people. Five times the normal number of people died of heart failure during the week following the spill, according to The Annapolis Evening Capital (November 12, 1979).
