Truth in advertising doesn’t hold true for political ads.
Democracy takes effort and with it brings easy questions but hard answers.
Question: Say I want to run a political television commercial; do I have to tell the truth?
Let’s say there’s a guy running for Mayor. He’s popular and he has strong political instincts and the guy knows how to read an audience. So, what can I say about him to knock him off his game?
Answer: Anything I want!
Question: Really? Come on, I can’t lie can I?
Answer: The Annenberg Public Policy Center said in summarizing the position of both the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission in regulating TV ads and the Supreme Court in upholding the First Amendment, “Candidates have a legal right to lie to voters just about as much as they want.”
Question: Let’s say I want to say a particular candidate took “illegal campaign contributions”. The contributions were illegal because the people who gave them to him violated the campaign spending laws, not because the candidate did anything wrong. Despite this can I make it sound like the candidate is a criminal?
Answer: The “say anything rule” is clear. Back in 1972, the FCC made a TV station in Atlanta, Ga., run a commercial from a white racist running for the U.S. Senate. His disgusting ad said the “main reason why n----rs want integration is because n-----rs want our white women.”
The FCC said if the station takes any ads from candidates in that race, they have to take all ads and as long as they are not obscene, you can say anything in a commercial.
Question: Listen, TV commercials are regulated. You can’t say that fried chicken makes you skinny, so how can I say that this guy is using “loopholes” to get away from disobeying the law, when it isn’t the truth? Even the head of the Campaign Spending Commission said this guy was legal and obeying the law. But you say I can still say he is “politically bankrupt?”
Answer: Fire away! But there’s an exception. If you are advertising a business you have to watch out. The FTC (Federal Treachery Commission), in 2004, penalized Kentucky Fried Chicken when it tried to claim that fried chicken could be a part of an effective diet program. It made them pull the TV ads and made them submit all advertising for FTC review for the next five years.
But, and there’s always a but, political ads are wrapped in free speech!
The Supreme Court takes this seriously. Here is what it said in a 1971 libel case: “it can hardly be doubted that the constitutional guarantee of free speech has its fullest and most urgent application precisely to the conduct of campaigns for political office.”
Question: Holy shit, so I can lie in my ads but will it do any good?
Answer: Dishonest political spots work all the time. TV viewers just think that all ads are the same and if you put it on TV, someone is checking to make sure it is true.
Don’t we all think that if an ad appears on TV that there must be some truth to it and doesn’t this so-called truth in advertising lull us into a false sense of security?
So, the question then arises if I have to twist and distort someone’s record to win or blatantly lie to get votes and win, how will I be able to look at myself in the mirror when it’s over?
That’s a question that can only be answered by the individual. Unfortunately, in the worst case scenario, that question never entered Biden’s, or his boss Obama’s, mind!

When I was a little kid growing up in Newark, I had a problem – sugar. I could never get enough. And the main components of my addiction were Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles, Twinkies, and Royal Crown Cola.
 
Since my parents never really gave me an allowance as a young boy, I had to get creative. So, I took my wagon, walked down the street, and knocked on doors, asking people if I could collect their soda bottles. What a score. Five cents for the big ones and two cents for the little ones.
 
But that sugar addiction had ramifications. Teeth cavities.
 
Okay, you have a cavity and it gets filled with mercury. It’s a wonder I’m not brain dead. Then some years later, the nerve in the tooth dies and you have to see a “specialist” to get a root canal treatment.
 
Before getting into this I need to preface it with a bit of information. Prior to the 1950s, there was no such thing as root canal. The nerve dies, you pull the tooth. Also, when the 50s hit and root canal “specialists” emerged, the word gangrenous disappeared from the dental profession.  Gangrene means that the blood supply to whatever has stopped, rotting is taking place, and eventually amputation may be forthcoming.
 
Each tooth is a vital, living organ like the liver, lungs, kidneys, etc. The root canal guys remove the guts of the tooth. And those guts are rich in nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. So, after the “specialist” cleans the canal he fills it with silly putty.
 
Well, it’s not really silly putty but rather some toxic substance rich in heavy metals and formaldehyde, and then caps the tooth to seal in all that good stuff. Interesting enough, the closest anatomical part for that stuff to travel to is the brain.
 
Then the “specialist” tells you he has saved your tooth. But, all that stuff he removed is what kept the tooth alive and now the tooth is dead. But he saved it.
 
There’s all kinds of stuff in that tooth like dentin, which contains thousands of things that are essential for the tooth’s survival. But when the “specialist” removes the pulp therein and there is no more blood supply, the tooth dies and decays just like the flesh of a putrefying corpse, be it a human or some animal that is eaten in this state.
 
The thousands of microbes that were present in the tooth degenerate into viruses, fungi, parasites and other bad bugs and over time their toxicity spreads throughout the system. When those neurotoxins enter the bone it flows to the brain and creates neurological problems that we are clueless as to their origin.
 
There was research done by Dr. Boyd Haley at the University of Kentucky, showing that more than 90 percent of all root canal teeth are flooded with pathogens and their toxic byproducts.
 
The alternatives to extraction are a bridge or an implant. Really, would you really consider putting a titanium or ceramic rod into your jawbone without a guarantee that the titanium or ceramic rod will not create an adverse reaction?
 
Dental implants bring their own problems by creating an immune response, such as suppressing the T-cell count. Usually with implants, nutrient uptake takes a hit as well as hormone delivery and energy suppression due to meridian blockages.
 
Imagine a blockage in a given meridian. What do you think happens to the organs on the same meridian? Basically, it sets the stage for illness or dysfunction far from the mouth and yet we are clueless as to why we experience what we experience. Also, these disturbances created by the implants can be worsened if other metals like mercury fillings are in the mouth.                                                                    

​Common illness arising from implants include, but not limited to, cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus and other inflammatory conditions. In other words, implants equate to poor health.

Conversely, good, healthy bone that is free of heavy metal, root canals, and implants will increase a more healthy biological system.

The solution – try to find a holistic oriented dentist that understands how and why illness arises. The bad news – they are far and few between.

Aloha!

​We were taught in high school that vaccines have saved millions of lives in America and Europe. One of the greatest heroes of modern medicine is Louis Pasteur, the creator of the "germ theory," the ideological foundation for vaccines. But the real history of vaccines, and the real story of Louis Pasteur, is something quite different. 

In his early career, Pasteur did believe that germs were the cause of disease. But 15 years before his death he recanted this belief. He came to believe that it was not germs but the degradation of an organism's internal environment that causes disease. He came to believe that germs took advantage of degraded or susceptible "terrain." 

Over a century of scientific research has validated Pasteur's terrain theory. Maintaining a healthy terrain, not eliminating germs, has proved to be the key to disease prevention. But Pasteur's germ theory retains a powerful hold on our collective imagination. 

The polio vaccine is the most touted example of the human endeavor to triumph against germs. "Every school kid knows" that the polio vaccine eradicated polio in the Western hemisphere. But in fact there is no evidence to support this claim. 

From 1923 to 1953, before Jonas Salk's killed-virus polio vaccine was introduced, the polio death rate in the U.S. and England had already declined by 47 percent and 55 percent, respectively. The epidemic ended not just in the United States and England, but in European countries that questioned the vaccine's safety and refused to systematically vaccinate their citizens. 

Not only was the vaccine ineffective, it produced results opposite to those intended. In the U.S, the number of polio cases following mass vaccinations was significantly greater than before mass vaccinations. 

Doctors and scientists on the staff of the National Institute of Health during the 1950s were well aware that the Salk vaccine was ineffective. Some frankly stated that it was worthless as a preventive and even dangerous. Many refused to vaccinate their own children. Dr. Salk himself said: "When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine you don't sleep well for weeks." But the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and pharmaceutical companies with a large investment in the vaccine, convinced the U.S. Public Health Service to sign a proclamation claiming that the vaccine was "safe and 100 percent effective." 

From the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, a new live-virus polio vaccine became, in Salk's words, "the principal if not sole cause" of all reported polio cases in the U.S. Between 1973 and 1983, 87 percent of all cases of polio (excluding imported cases) were caused by the vaccine. More recently, every case of polio in the U.S. since 1979 (excluding five imported cases) was caused by the vaccine. 

In Dr. Benjamin Sandler's book "Diet Prevents Polio," an unequivocal correlation is found between diet and susceptibility to polio. Sandler found that persons in contact with the virus but eschewing foods high in sugars and starches have significantly greater protection from the polio virus. Dr. Sandler is one of many advocates of the terrain theory whose work has been systematically ignored. The details of his work were published in the American Journal of Pathology in 1941. 

Sixty years later, in the waning days of the year 2000, members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) unanimously voted for an end to all government-mandated childhood vaccines. Jane M. Orient, M.D., AAPS executive director, said: "Children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines." 

One of the most serious adverse effects of vaccines is that they cause the very diseases they're meant to prevent. Measles, for instance, which declined by more than 95 percent before the vaccine was introduced, is 14 times more likely to be contracted by vaccinated than by unvaccinated persons. 

A recent study in Pediatrics found that women vaccinated with the measles vaccine pass on far less immunity to their offspring. Before the vaccine was introduced, it was extremely rare for an infant to contract measles. Now more than 25 percent of all measles cases are babies under a year of age. 

One significant concern with vaccines today is their casual relation with the growing epidemic of childhood autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD has increased from 900,000 in 1991 to 5 million today. The MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine is the primary suspect. 

Dr. Viera Scheibner, author of "Vaccinations: 100 Years of Orthodox Research" sums up the position of researchers not funded by pharmaceutical companies: "There is no evidence whatsoever that vaccines of any kind ... are effective in preventing the infectious diseases they are supposed to prevent.
 
Further, adverse effects are amply documented and are far more significant to public health than any adverse effects of infectious diseases. Vaccinations have caused more suffering and more deaths than any other human activity in the history of medical intervention." 

Vaccines are only the tip of the iceberg for a look at how the medical industry has consistently defrauded the American public on issues from cancer to childbirth.
 
And, let’s not forget President Bush’s law passed in 1990 giving the pharmaceutical industry full immunity from lawsuits even when the results of vaccinations caused death.
 
Welcome to the world of HIV, Ebola, Sars, Mersa, Swine, and now the worst scam of all, Covid-19. It never ends.  
 
In God we trust. All others pay cash!

A few weeks ago there was another E.coli outbreak. This time it was beef treated with ammonia (it is treated with ammonia in an attempt to kill bacteria). The same ammonia commonly found in floor cleaners can comprise up to 15% of many fast-food burgers. It is also used in the ground beef that goes into the U.S. school lunch program.
 
On 12/31/09, the New York Times published a report on the lack of efficacy of ammonia treatment in killing salmonella and E.coli in beef from South Dakota's Beef Products, Inc. (BPI). According to BPI's website they are the largest processor, a euphemism for murderer, of beef in the country. Their ammoniated product is used in frozen hamburger, taco meats, low-fat hot dogs, beef-stick snacks, and is sold to fast-food chains.
 
BPI uses low-grade beef trimmings (notoriously high in microbial pathogens like E.coli, Salmonella, Lysteria, and Staph), spins off the fat, then pumps the, if you'll pardon the expression, beef full of ammonia in an attempt to kill the pathogens that multiplied during the fat removal process. Unfortunately, not all the pathogens are reduced and some might even be increased. At present, the product ends up in 70% of hamburgers served in the U.S.. The projection is 100% in five years.
 
The ammonia used in BPI's meat(?) substance does not have to be listed as an ingredient as it is classified as a “processing agent”.
 
Another slaughterhouse practice is to gas beef with carbon monoxide as it keeps the flesh red for weeks. This deludes customers into thinking they are getting freshly killed cow bodies despite the fact that it has already spoiled.
 
In this same NYT report, it was found that the USDA whole heartedly endorses BPI's ammonia treatment. They believed in it so much that they exempted BPI's hamburger sold to the general public from any testing.
 
Even though the school lunch program finds tainted meat from time to time, it continues to buy it. Apparently, the low price they pay saves them about $1 million a year. In addition, in 2004, school lunch officials increased the amount of BPI meat allowed in its hamburgers from 10% to 15% to increase savings.
 
Despite massive recalls, disease outbreaks, and scares over mad cow disease, the U.S. demand for beef has remained relatively constant. Why? Because there is complete faith in “our government's                food inspections”! Are these people drunk??
 
Meat that is spoiled is sold as fresh due to chemicals to keep it red. Ground beef is made from the scrapings off the slaughter-house floors with ammonia added to kill the bacteria. The school lunch program continues to buy this garbage because it saves them money. And, in Hawaii, a bill gets killed that would allow vegetarian and vegan meals to be offered in the public schools.
 
All of this coming from a government of the people, by the people, and FOR the people. God help us!
 
Aloha!

P.S.
 
I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk".
In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore.
 
Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition,  I espouse an organic vegan diet for optimum health.
 
I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big pHarma, Bayer/Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks.
 
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 3 days my asthma reversed and has not come back in 5 years.
 
Twenty two cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, astigmatism, and gum disease. There are many cases of increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines, erectile dysfunction, and so much more.
 
And it's only possible because of the oxygen the sulfur crystals release that floods the cells of the body.
The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids.
 
You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com -.
 
My book, "A Sane Diet For An Insane World", which has been published. and can be viewed at www.asanediet.com., will explain simply why what you eat, for the most part, is designed to keep you in a state of declining health.
 

​There is a saying that “If slaughterhouses had glass walls we all would be vegetarians”. What will be presented in this article is what happens behind those windowless walls. One of two things will happen by the end of this article. One, you will feel sadness and make an attempt to change how and what you eat or two, you will put it aside and continue doing what you have been conditioned to do and live with the reality that you most definitely are what you eat – a compassionless, hard hearted person.
 
All animals go to slaughterhouses. While there, they can hear, smell and hear the death around them. And while these animals struggle to keep alive, the workers, to not slow down “production”, exhibit impatience to these poor animals.
 
The government, in their compassion, requires that an animal be stunned prior to its being murdered. How do the do this? With a method called, captive bolt stunning, a gun is put against the animal's head that shoots a metal rod into its brain. What if the animal struggles and the rod misses? Easy. Do it again and again until it hits the right mark.
 
Then there's, electrical stunning. This electrically zaps the animal creating a grand mal seizure. But, what if the electrical charge is not high enough? Then the animal will become paralyzed but will not lose sensibility. Whatever it takes, right?
 
Next is ritual slaughter where the animal's throat is cut while fully conscious. Supposedly, the animal will become unconscious within seconds. The reality is that because of blood flow through the back of the neck the animal can remain conscious and bleed up to a minute, all the while screaming in pain.
 
There was an article in the Washington Post that revealed that hogs are immersed in scalding water after they are stunned to soften their hides for skinning. Given the mental acuity of the employees most of the hogs are scalded and drowned while conscious and kicking and squealing while being lowered in to the water. The same applies to chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese that undergo electric stunning. They are usually conscious as they are boiled or drowned.  
 
Many slaughterhouse employees get their rocks off by punching the animals while alive or ripping the eggs out of a hen's body and then having egg fights or ripping the heads off of turkeys that got their feet stuck in the transport truck cages. If a bird missed the throat-cutting machine a worker simply rips its head off to not slow down production.
 
Some of the other employee pastimes include throwing live chickens into a wall, picking chickens up by their feet and swinging their heads into walls or the floor, or throwing them on the floor, while alive, and jumping up and down on them.
 
The USDA, which oversees the treatment of animals and birds in the slaughter houses says, “Drastic increases in production speeds, lack of support from supervisors in plants, new inspection policies which significantly reduce our enforcement authority, and little or no access to the areas of the plants where animals are killed, have significantly hampered our ability to ensure compliance with humane regulations”.
 
The good news – even when problems are reported to the inspectors, the government ignores them. A case in point was that no action was taken against a Texas beef company for chopping the hooves and ears off of live cattle.
 
It's up to you to look into your heart and decide if you want to be a part of this or not.
 
Aloha!

Thanks to millions of dollars in advertising, we have been brainwashed to believe we need meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and milk as the staples of our diet. Due to this, these high fat, high cholesterol, artery clogging “foods” have been accepted as an essential part of the American diet. Ever present is the fact that poultry has been accepted as a “safer” option.
 
But poultry is filthier than meat and pork. After the chicken or turkey is slaughtered and skinned it is soaked in a bath for cleansing. The problem is that the bath is full of urine, pus, doo-doo and other contaminants from all the others that preceded it.
 
But fear not. The USDA has said that as long as you cannot see the doo-doo through the clear wrap it is safe to buy and eat. If that’s the case, why do they then say that whatever that chicken or turkey has touched must be boiled to prevent the spread of contamination? 

In addition to this profit-driven advertising, federal laws mandate that all schools provide children with milk and flesh at each meal or lose federal funding. This is done despite the fact that 95% of Orientals, 90 % of Blacks and Hispanics, and 75% of white kids suffer from lactose intolerance and cannot digest milk products.

Ignoring these stats because money is more important than health, we find that half of all dairy consumption, approximately 300 pounds a year, comes from cheese, which is nothing more than a super concentrated form of health destroying saturated fat and salt.
 
Also, we are the only creatures that regularly consume the milk products of other species. Rat’s milk, anyone?  From ingesting flesh, eggs and milk, there are no other components in the “modern” diet that causes more pain and suffering, including death and disability, than these products.

Milk proteins are prone to rampant bacterial contamination such as salmonella, listeria, E-coli, staph  and the cause of most dairy product re-calls. Dairy products, as with all flesh foods, hold various poisons, including pesticides and other environmental contaminants.

Yes, while pasteurization (cooking it 180 degrees F) might kill a lot of these contaminants, it also kills any traces of any beneficial, if any, nutrients. Let’s not forget that in order to increase milk production, dairy cows are injected with artificial growth hormones. With this comes the increase of insulin-like growth factors that have been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells as well as making a person so big that they can blot out the sun and when they walk down the street. It’s as if you can hear someone singing, “I feel the earth move under my feet…” .

Then there’s the fact that 80% of the antibiotics produced are fed to animals to keep them healthy. The down side to that is that this overload to us of the antibiotics we ingest through the flesh and milk, tends to make us more resistant to the combating of various strains of bacteria when we get hit by them.

What about the environment? Does it matter that the process of raising cattle for milk and meat is a leading contributor to both water and air pollution and very hard on the environment? We seemingly are opposed to the slavery of people but what about the slavery of cows, chickens, pigs, and turkeys? That is a question that only you can answer for yourself.

Everyone thinks that the consumption of fish is good and that fish is a “health food”. I beg to differ. Fish is the muscle of a cold-blooded animal with fins and gills. The major components of fish are fat, with 60% of their calories coming from fat, and protein. There is no carbohydrate, no dietary fiber, or no vitamin C.

Because many fish are high on the food chain, they are highly contaminated with environmental chemicals like PCB’s and mercury. Fish fat is known to inhibit the actions of insulin and increase the tendency for high blood sugars and eventually diabetes. Eskimos are among the highest consumers of fish on the planet and also have the highest rates of osteoporosis of any people on the planet.


What’s happening right now is that (Monsanto) Bayer paid off the Obama administration to approve the genetic modification of alfalfa. Alfalfa is one of the heaviest consumed products by animals. This means that in the very near future all foods that had a face or a mother will contain genetically modified ingredients and enormous amounts of (Monsatan’s) Bayer’s RoundUp Ready pesticides.
 
Let’s look at other startling realities:
 
The pharmaceutical industry, as all publically traded corporation do, need to increase their bottom line to increase their earnings per share to keep their shareholders happy.
To do that they must keep you sick.
 
The large food corporations, also publically traded corporations, basically need you to eat more of their foods to keep their shareholders happy. Whether or not their foods are health promoting or health destroying is irrelevant to them.
 
When we talk about Monsatan, now Bayer, we already know that they have paid off Presidents to keep from having their products labeled as GMOs. Why? Because they know if they were labeled you would not buy them.
 
Then there’s the medical profession or I should say the medical business. What is the success key of any business? Repeat customers! You staying sick is good for business.
 
The government agencies have made comfortable beds for themselves by being the chamber maids for the food and drug corporations. 
 
These agencies, like The Fraud and drug Administration, The Centers for Deceit Control and Procrastination, The Environmental Pollution Agency and The Federal Treachery Commission have already constructed a massive revolving door between the large corporations and their agencies.
 
For example take a look at the CDC. Julie Gerberding, who was the Head of the CDC for the past eight years is now the CEO of Merck Pharmaceutical’s vaccine division. Also, let’s not forget about former (Monsanto) Bayer higher ups like Michael Taylor and Tom Vilsack.
 
Last, but not least, is the mainstream media. Remember, the success of a business requires repeat customers. Look at the bulk of their ads and the Letters to the Editor that they print and tell me the last time you say anything espousing a vegan diet centered around organics. 
 
 Yet, despite all these facts, we continue to force these disease and obesity causing, if you’ll pardon the expression, “foods” upon innocent children in the schools and on ourselves. If it were truly about health it wouldn’t happen. If it were about money… well, let history speak for itself.

Change can only come from those that know they are being exploited and decide to do something about it. Are you ready to do that or do you need to develop cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, constipation or obesity before you do?
 
Oh yeah, there’s one more thing “they” don’t want you to know about. There are two forms of digestion out there. One is a carnivore and one is an herbivore. Carnivore’s eat flesh. Herbivore’s eat plants, fruits and grains. The human form is an herbivore form.
 
Yet you have been led to believe that humans are omnivores. You better sit down for this – there is no such form as an omnivore.
 
So, just because you have acquired a sense gratification taste for flesh and blood, it wreaks havoc on your system. Your digestive tract, if stretched out is roughly 35 yards long. Plant based foods leave the body in two to four days making its way through your convoluted digestive tract. Yet, things that had a face or a mother leave the your convoluted digestive tract in  four to seven days.
 
The question then is, where do all those poisons go when sitting in your body for up to seven days? And yet you wonder why you have debilitating illnesses.
 
Aloha!

Back in 2003, when I was fighting against fluoridation in Hawaii and which we prevailed with the exception of the military bases, I met an incredible man. His name was Paul Connett.
 
When it came to revealing the horrors and needlessness of fluoridation, this was the guy.
 
His website – www.fluoridealert.org - was the place to go to learn about all the horrors of fluoride and to gather documented arguments to intelligently wage a battle against fluoridation in your community.
 
What I am presenting below is some ammunition to get fluoride out of your water supply.  
 
Organized dentistry, which includes the American Dental Association [ADA], the Oral Health Division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [OHD] and state dental directors, is the only health profession that seeks to deliver its services via the public’s water supply.
 
The practice of artificial water fluoridation is the height of arrogance when one considers the following undisputed facts and scientifically supported arguments:
 
a) Fluoride is not a nutrient. Not one biochemical process in the human body has been shown to need fluoride.
 
b) The level of fluoride in mother’s milk is exceedingly low (0.004 ppm, NRC, 2006, p.40). Formula-fed infants receive up to 175 to 250 times more fluoride than a breast-fed infant if using water fluoridated with .7 or 1 ppm of fluoride. Does the dental community really know more than nature about what the baby needs?
 
c) Fluoride accumulates in the bone and in other calcified tissues over a lifetime. It is still not known what the true half-life of fluoride is in the human bone, but an estimate of 20 years has been made (NRC, 2006, p 92). This means that some of the fluoride absorbed by infants will be retained for a lifetime in their bones. Early symptoms of fluoride poisoning of the bones are identical to arthritis. Lifelong accumulation of fluoride in bones can also make them brittle and more prone to fracture.
 
d) Once fluoride is added to the water supply, there is no way of controlling the dose people get daily or over a lifetime and there is no way of controlling who gets the fluoride – it goes to everyone regardless of age, weight, health, need or nutritional status.
 
e) The addition of fluoride to the public water supply violates the individual’s right to informed consent to medical or human treatment. The community is doing to everyone what a doctor can do to no single patient.  (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cyJPwaMEsmueN99ONqsehAMIr8PDdN%2B1http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000445.htm).
 
f) Fluoride is known to have toxic properties at low doses (Barbier et al, 2010).
 
g) Children in fluoridated countries are being over-exposed to fluoride as demonstrated by the very high prevalence of dental fluorosis. According to the CDC (2010) 41% of American children aged 12-15 have some form of dental fluorosis. Black and Mexican American children have significantly higher rates (CDC, 2005, Table 23).
 
h) A 500-page review by the National Research Council in 2006 revealed that several subsets of the population (including bottle-fed babies) are exceeding the EPA's safe reference dose (0.06 mg / kilogram bodyweight/day) when drinking fluoridated water at 1 ppm (NRC, 2006, p85).  The NRC panel also indicated that fluoride causes many health problems at levels close to the exposure levels in fluoridated communities (NRC, 2006).
 
i) An un-refuted study conducted at Harvard University shows that fluoride may cause osteosarcoma (a frequently fatal bone cancer) in young men when boys are exposed to fluoridated water in their 6th, 7th and 8th years (Bassin et al., 2006).  Despite promises by Bassin’s thesis advisor (Chester Douglass) a subsequent study by Kim et al. (2011) did not refute Bassin’s key finding of the age-window of vulnerability.

j) There are many animal and human studies, which indicate that fluoride is a neurotoxin and 37 studies that show an association between fairly modest exposure to fluoride and lowered IQ in children. Twenty-seven of these studies were reviewed by a team from Harvard University (Choi et al., 2012). In an article in Lancet Neurology, Grandjean and Landrigan (2014) have since classified fluoride as a developmental neurotoxicant. All these papers can be accessed at www.FluorideAlert.org/issues/health/brain
 
k) For many decades no health agency in any fluoridated country has made any serious attempt to monitor side effects (other than dental fluorosis). Nor have they investigated reports of citizens who claim to be sensitive to fluoride’s toxic effects at low doses.

l) No U.S. doctors are being trained to recognize fluoride’s toxic effects, including low dose-reversible effects in sensitive individuals.
 
m) Dental caries is a disease, according to the ADA, CDC's OHD, and the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, and others.  Fluoridation is designed to treat a disease but has never been approved by the FDA. The FDA has never performed any trial to ascertain the safety of fluoride. FDA classifies fluoride as an “unapproved drug.”
 
n) The effectiveness of swallowing fluoride to reduce tooth decay has never been demonstrated by a randomized control trial (RCT) the gold standard of epidemiology (McDonagh et al., 2000).
 
o) The evidence that fluoridation or swallowing fluoride reduces tooth decay is very weak (Brunelle and Carlos, 1990 and Warren et al., 2009).

p) The vast majority of countries neither fluoridate their water nor their salt. But, according to WHO figures, tooth decay in 12-year olds is coming down as fast –if not faster – in non-fluoridated countries as fluoridated ones (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=y5suSANmBZVaY4Es7yLl%2FWONz1C4oQ38http://fluoridealert.org/issues/caries/who-data/ ).
 
q) Most dental authorities now agree that the predominant benefit of fluoride is TOPICAL not SYSTEMIC (CDC, 1999, 2001)– i.e. it works on the outside of the tooth not from inside the body, thus there is no need to swallow fluoride to achieve its claimed benefit and no justification for forcing it on people who do not want it.

r) Many countries (e.g. Scotland) have been able to reduce tooth decay in low-income families using cost-effective programs without forcing fluoride on people via the water supply (BBC Scotland, 2013).

s) While organized dentistry  (i.e. the ADA/OHD) claims that fluoridation is designed to help low-income families, it is hard to take such sentiments seriously when,     
     i) 80% of American dentists refuse to treat children on Medicaid.
              ii) The ADA opposes the use of dental therapists to provide some services in  low-income areas.
Moreover, such a practice can hardly be considered equitable when low- income families are less able to afford  fluoride avoidance strategies and it iswell-established that fluoride’s toxic effects are  made worse by poor diet,which is more likely to occur in low-income families.

t) Compounding the arrogance of this practice, neither the ADA, nor the OHD will deign to defend their position in open public debate nor provide a scientific response in writing to science-based critiques (e.g. The Case Against Fluoride by Connett, Beck and Micklem). 

Conclusion: It is time to get dentistry out of the public water supply and back into the dental office. It is also time the U.S. media did its homework on this issue instead of simply parroting the self-serving spin of the dental lobby.

​For the answer to this question we have to go back in time. We are generally raised in a family that was raised in a family that lacked sufficient information to eat properly.
 
Upon growing up, in my formative years in the 40s and 50s, not knowing squat about the proper way to eat, the diet I was faced with was bacon and eggs or Cheerio’s for breakfast and two squares a day of meat and potatoes, except for Fridays, which we usually ate dairy products. I'm sure there are many of you that have a similar history.
 
Because of this and because of my parents being indoctrinated with the belief that vaccinations were "the cure for all", all kinds of adverse health problems plagued me most of my life.
 
There is ample research out there proving that nutrient deficiencies through over-consumption of refined foods, anything that had a face and a mother and the lack of health building nutrients affects virtually every age group.
 
Because of our nutrient deficient diets we suffer from allergies, asthma, autism, birth defects, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, type II diabetes, eye problems, kidney damage, nerve problems, obesity, hypoglycemia, cancer, heart disease, stroke, and neurological problems, just for openers.
 
So what do we do? We go to the local health food store and we stock up on antioxidants, B. vitamins, vitamin C, medicinal mushrooms, chlorella, Omega 3's, chromium, magnesium, flaxseed oil, fish oil (loaded with mercury and PCBs), and all kinds of other stuff thrust upon us by people in the "health and well-being" industry. And before long we are spending anywhere from $200-$500 a month to stay healthy.
 
What's truly bizarre is that when manure was used for fertilizer, no one got sick. The reason for this was that the manure was rich in sulfur.
 
In the 1930s, "the powers to be" decided, in a humanitarian way, that they wanted to help benefit the farmer. So, as benevolent as they were, they switched to the petro-chemical fertilizers under the guise that it would enable the farmer to spend more time planting seeds than shoveling doo-doo. The harsh reality was that the petro-chemicals created a cash "crop" for the petro-chemical industry and made everyone else that ate food, sick.
 
Coupling the petro-chemical fertilizers with the obscene over-processing of our food supply, which served only to increase shelf life and profits, it made our food supply completely devoid of the nutrient that was originally in the soil, which the manure provided - sulfur. Yet we wonder why we are a nation of overweight, undernourished, disease-ridden sickos hooked on pharmaceutical drugs.
 
This missing nutrient, organic sulfur, is used to repair all the cells of the body and promotes the growth of healthy new cells by allowing the cells to transport oxygen more effectively. The other effect it has is making the cell walls more permeable, allowing nutrients in and waste materials out.
 
This missing nutrient also detoxifies the cells, allowing the body to remove toxins, heavy metals and radiation that have accumulated therein. It increases enzyme production increasing overall resistance to illness and increases blood circulation. It reduces muscle inflammation, speeds up athletic recovery time and increases sexual activity by increasing blood flow south of the border. It eliminates free radicals and allergies and promotes healthy and increased growth of hair and fingernails.
 
Because cancers have a hard time living in oxygen, cancer cells cannot exist in this oxygenated environment. Studies have shown the reversal of osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, asthma and autism.
 
Because the sulfur is one of the main ingredients in moisturizing creams, it aids in healthy skin production and the reduction of "wrinkles". It helps the body properly regulate insulin production, reducing or eliminating the need for insulin injections and will help alleviate emphysema, decrease "hangover" time, eliminate migraines, reduce or eliminate hypoglycemia, reduce or eliminate PMS symptoms, promote better kidney function, reverse astigmatism, and enable the body to create all the essential amino acids, omega 3's and vitamin B 12.
 
There is another essential fact to understand. Whether your diet is flesh based or plant based everyone has parasites in their intestines. The sulfur crystals form a slippery coating on the inner walls of the intestines making it impossible for the parasites or their eggs to cling to and are flushed out.
 
So, due to the removal of the parasites, heavy metals, toxins and radiation the body may experience a brief detoxification process. When this passes, anywhere from two to ten days, your body will feel rejuvenated and full of energy.
 
So, if you are frustrated with what you are spending for nutritional supplements, know that there is an alternative available at a fraction of the cost. Above all, you must remember two important facts: you’ve spent most of your life braking down your body by eating crap so you cannot expect a reversal overnight. It will take time, patience, dedication and perseverance. And, by the way, there has never been one complaint from 100,000 plus people in 33 countries.
 
Aloha!
