CWF Opposition

4. Fact In stark contrast to the widespread support for CWF by respected science and health organizations worldwide ...

a.      the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT - iaomt.org/resources/fluoride-facts) recommends “policies ...” 
It is important to understand that the September 2020 IAOMT meeting in Nashville TN which included a presentation by anti-F researcher Christine Till also included presentations by defrocked British ‘doctor’ Andrew Wakefield, whose study linking vaccines and autism (which fueled anti-vaccination passion) was exposed as fraudulent, and Judy Mikovits, a former biochemist who starred in a viral video that promulgated a litany of false information on the coronavirus.

b.      the International College of Integrative Medicine (ICIM - multibriefs.com/briefs/ICIM/ICIM111318.php) stated, 11/13/2018, “ICIM joins with our similarly minded medical partners ...”

c.       the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM - acam.org/blogpost/1092863/ACAM-Integrative-Medicine-Blog?tag=pandemic), “The greatest scam ever perpetuated ...

d.      the International Academy of Biological Dentists and Medicine (IABDM - iabdm.org/iabdm-urges-portland-voters-say-no-to-fluoridation) recommends a NO vote on mandated water fluoridation in Portland.  It also promotes the idea that, with respect to vaccination (iabdm.org/vaccination-informed-consent),  “the right of every individual  ...” 

e.      the International Chiropractors Association (ICA - chiropractic.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ALL-STATEMENTS-OF-OFFICIAL-ICA-POLICY-combined-policies-for-review.pdf) “considers public water fluoridation to be possibly harmful ...” 

f.        the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM - aaemonline.org/fluoride-resolution) “Supports banning the addition of fluoride...” 

g.      the Children’s Health Defense (CHD - childrenshealthdefense.org/news/u-s-water-fluoridation-a-forced-experiment-that-needs-to-end) an advocacy group that labels “U.S. Water Fluoridation: A Forced Experiment ...”  The organization is anti-vaccination (childrenshealthdefense.org/news/measles-vaccination-and-autism-the-inexcusable-suppression-of-a-long-documented-link)

h.      the Fluoride Action Network (FAN - fluoridealert.org) is not a science or health organization, but it is one of the larger, more vocal, persistent and well-funded organizations dedicated to halting or preventing CWF.

i.        Note, this “Open Letter - fluoridefree.org.nz/australian-open-letter” from Fluoride Free NZ has signatures of Paul Connett & Noel Campbell, described below, but there are no representatives from any of the major science or health organizations in the world.

j.        Vocal, high-profile fluoridation opponents who aggressively promote the anti-fluoridation agenda frequently will also oppose other science-based practices like vaccination, and they are often prone to promoting various conspiracy theories to support their beliefs.  Some vocal FOs (with references to evaluations of their opinions) include:

·         Joseph Mercola is an osteopathic physician and alternative health merchant who is a vocal opponent of vaccination and fluoridation (search.mercola.com/results.aspx?q=fluoridation#stq=fluoridation) health practices.  He also supports other questionable practices, for example marketing “The 13 Amazing Health Benefits of Himalayan Crystal Salt, the Purest Salt on Earth - products.mercola.com/himalayan-salt" in addition to (Himalayan Salt lamps - products.mercola.com/himalayan-salt/himalayan-salt-lamps.htm).  His claim is, “Typical Table and Cooking Salt in Your Grocery Store Has Been 'Chemically Cleaned'. ...” 

·         ‘Professor’ Noel Campbell, “Bachelor of Dental Science” was one of six original Australian signers of the FAN Professionals’ Statement (fluoridealert.org/researchers/professionals-statement/signers01) opposing CWF.

·         Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger” (Natural News) is a vocal anti-fluoride activist as well as a vaccine denier and an opponent of modern medicine - naturalnews.com/modern_medicine.html. His article 'The 10 biggest health care lies in America - naturalnews.com/modern_medicine.html', begins, “Mainstream health care isn't based on 'health' or 'caring. ...Claims Debunked

·         Alex Jones (InfoWars) is a vocal anti-fluoride, anti-vaccination activist and promotes a number of conspiracy theories like “the Sandy Hook massacre of 20 first graders and six adults was an elaborate hoax”.

·         David Icke (Son of the Godhead) – former footballer and sports broadcaster – is a vocal anti-fluoride activist and promotes a number of other outlier beliefs. (goodreads.com/quotes/9644790-the-pineal-gland-is-activated-by-light-and-controls-the)        

k.       In fact: The heavily promoted FAN Professionals Statement to End Water Fluoridation (PStEWF) FOs.(fluoridealert.org/researchers/professionals-statement/the-new-statement-signers), initiated in 2007 actually confirms the outlier status of ...

It is significant that the Fluoride Action Network ‘
Who Opposes Fluoridation - fluoridealert.org/issues/water/opposed’ page can list no major, respected science or health organizations that support their position.  An examination of the 10 specific fluoridation opponents listed by FAN
:


7c. FOs Employ Fear Mongering:
~>
 Fluoride is a deadly poison (fluoridealert.org/news/fluoride-is-a-deadly-poison-peels-water-fluoridation-committee-has-heard) sounds really scary...
~>  "Due to its high toxicity (fluoridealert.org/issues/sources/f-pesticides), fluoride has long been used as a pesticide.
~> “Fluoride is a highly toxic substance that can cause a range of adverse health effects. (fluoridealert.org/issues/health)”
~> CWF is a Toxic Treatment: Fluoride’s Transformation from Industrial Waste to Public Health Miracle. … (fluoridealert.org/news/toxic-treatment-fluorides-transformation-from-industrial-waste-to-public-health-miracle-2)"


7e. FOs claim accidents with some link to fluorine happen, so CWF should be banned:
~>
A report (fluoridealert.org/researchers/states/california)on the Fluoride Alert site stated, "Marin County ..."
~> A headline from Fluoride Alert (fluoridealert.org/studies/acute01) screamed, "Reported Poisoning Incidents from Fluoride
~> Child’s death – a tragic accident, ..." (
fluoridealert.org/articles/kennerly)
~> 3 Hemodialysis patients died – tragic ... (fluoridealert.org/articles/chicago-accident)
~>  A blast at the factory of chemical maker Hube Global ..." (fluoridealert.org/news/gumi-designated-as-gas-leak-disaster-zone)


7f1. FOs “Create A Veneer of Science to enhance the appeal of their claims:
~> o   Developmental fluoride neurotoxicity: a systematic review and meta-analysis (fluoridealert.org/studytracker/17299): Choi, Zhang ...


7f8.  These are examples of characteristic 7f2 above:
~> o  Neurotoxicity of sodium fluoride in rats – “Weanlings received drinking ..."
(fluoridealert.org/studytracker/15463)
~> o   Roles of mitochondrial fission inhibition in developmental fluoride neurotoxicity – “using Sprague-Dawley rats ..." (fluoridealert.org/studytracker/33113)

7g. FOs Blur the Boundary Between Ethics and Science to Fabricate False Moral Arguments:
~> Specific example FAN claims that, “Unlike all other water treatment processes ..." (fluoridealert.org/issues/water/medical-ethics)
~> It is remarkable that the concept "The Dose Makes the Poison" was understood nearly 500 years ago, but the FOs completely ignore the concept, claiming that Fluoride is a deadly poison without any context of exposure levels.  (fluoridealert.org/news/fluoride-is-a-deadly-poison-peels-water-fluoridation-committee-has-heard)
