- "Why'd you do it, Doc? Why'd you toss the fluoride
folks overboard?"
-
- I had just tracked down Dr. Hardy Limeback, B.Sc., Ph.D.,
in Biochemistry, D.D.S., head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry
for the University of Toronto, and president of the Canadian Association
for Dental Research.
-
- Dr. Limeback is Canada's leading fluoride authority and,
until recently, the country's primary promoter of the controversial
additive.
-
- In a surprising newsmaker interview this past April,
Dr. Limeback announced a dramatic change of heart. "Children under
three should never use fluoridated toothpaste," he counseled. "Or
drink fluoridated water. And baby formula must never be made up using
Toronto
tap water. Never."
-
- Why, I wondered? What could have caused such a powerful
paradigm shift?
-
- "It's been building up for a couple of years,"
Limeback told me during a recent telephone interview. "But certainly
the crowning blow was the realization that we have been dumping
contaminated
fluoride into water reservoirs for half a century. The vast majority of
all fluoride additives come from Tampa Bay, Florida, smokestack scrubbers.
The additives are a toxic byproduct of the super-phosphate fertilizer
industry."
-
- "Tragically," he continued, "that means
we're not just dumping toxic fluoride into our drinking water. We're also
exposing innocent, unsuspecting people to deadly elements of lead, arsenic
and radium, all of them carcinogenic. Because of the cumulative properties
of toxins, the detrimental effects on human health are
catastrophic."
-
- A recent study at the University of Toronto confirmed
Dr. Limeback's worst fears. "Residents of cities that fluoridate have
double the fluoride in their hip bones vis-a-vis the balance of the
population.
Worse, we discovered that fluoride is actually altering the basic
architecture
of human bones."
-
- Skeletal fluorosis is a debilitating condition that
occurs
when fluoride accumulates in bones, making them extremely weak and brittle.
The earliest symptoms?
-
- "Mottled and brittle teeth," Dr. Limeback told
me. "In Canada we are now spending more money treating dental
fluorosis
than we do treating cavities. That includes my own practice."
-
- One of the most obvious living experiments today, Dr.
Limeback believes, is a proof-positive comparison between any two Canadian
cities. "Here in Toronto we've been fluoridating for 36 years. Yet
Vancouver - which has never fluoridated - has a cavity rate lower than
Toronto's." And, he pointed out, cavity rates are low all across the
industrialized world including Europe, which is 98% fluoride free. Low
because of improved standards of living, less refined sugar, regular dental
checkups, flossing and frequent brushing. Now less than 2 cavities per
child Canada-wide, he said. "I don't get it, Doc. Last month, the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ran a puff piece all across America
saying
the stuff was better than sliced bread.
-
- What's the story?" "Unfortunately," he
replied, "the CDC is basing its position on data that is 50 years
old, and questionable at best. Absolutely no one has done research on
fluorosilicates,
which is the junk they're dumping into the drinking water."
-
- "On the other hand," he added, "the
evidence
against systemic fluoride in-take continues to pour in."
-
- "But Doc, the dentists."
-
- "I have absolutely no training in toxicity,"
he stated firmly. "Your well-intentioned dentist is simply following
50 years of misinformation from public health and the dental association.
Me, too. Unfortunately, we were wrong."
-
- Last week, Dr. Hardy Limeback addressed his faculty and
students at the University of Toronto, Department of Dentistry. In a
poignant,
memorable meetng, he apologized to those gathered before him.
-
- "Speaking as the head of preventive dentistry, I
told them that I had unintentionally mislead my colleagues and my students.
For the past 15 years, I had refused to study the toxicology information
that is readily available to anyone. Poisoning our children was the
furthest
thing from my mind."
-
- "The truth," he confessed to me, "was
a bitter pill to swallow. But swallow it I did."
-
- South of the border, the paradigm shift has yet to dawn.
After half a century of delusion, the CDC, American Dental Association
and Public Health stubbornly and skillfully continue to manipulate public
opinion in favor of fluoridation.
-
- Meantime, study after study is delivering the death knell
of the deadly toxin. Sure, fuoridation will be around for a long time yet,
but ultimately its supporters need to ready the life rafts. The poisonous
waters of doubt and confusion are bound to get choppier.
-
- "Are lawsuits inevitable?" I asked the good
doctor. "Remember tobacco," was his short, succinct reply.
Welcome,
Dr. Hardy Limeback, to the far side of the fluoride equation. It's lonely
over here, but in our society loneliness and truth frequently travel hand
in hand. Thank you for the undeniable courage of your convictions.

- In 1986-87 ORNL discovered that fluorides in the body
cause accumulation of calcium-fluoride in the lymph nodes and that this
damages the pathogen destruction mechanism of the immune system.
-
- Oak Ridge and its industry minions employ supplanted
activist organizations fabricating mysterious illness directions to hide
HF emission/toxic effects and human nuclear experiment war crimes.
-
- Oak Ridge and other gas diffusion sites are primarily
Bhopal-like chemically affected areas and secondarily a Chernobyl-like
radiation affected area. Gas diffusion sites are also affected with high
coal power emissions and compounded with heavy metal and hundreds of other
emissions from the plants that produce toxic effects. These too, damage
the lymph nodes, as these cells are the most exposed in the body.
-
- These exposures cause shortened longevity, impacted
learning,
and produce a gullible population for political and industry
profiting.
-
- Those whose health was affected in the Gulf War affected
have related fluoride toxic effects from nerve gases and insoluble metal
oxide concentrations in lung lymph nodes.
-
- In common with GW and DOE gas diffusion ills are long
term halogen toxic and metal oxides insult via bioconcentration into the
lymphatic system, impairment of macrophages, and damage to mitochondria
of cells resulting in immune pathogen protection damage and resultant rise
of viral, bacterial, mycoplasma, and fungal cell damage.
-
- In the new millennium, the truth will set all free to
enter a kinder and gentler time for environment and health.
