"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.
(Whew.) 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: 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
meeting, 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, fluoridation 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.

"We have a duty to look after each other. If we lose control of our
government, then we lose our ability to dispense justice and human
kindness. Our first priority today, then, is to defeat utterly those
forces of greed and corruption that have come between us and our
self-governance."
The
Fluoride Cover-Up: Look Under the Mother of All Bandaids (Opinion)
(NaturalNews) Why would fluoridation be a bandaid?
As you know a bandaid covers something up. Upon reading
this that cover-up will be apparent. Coca-Cola announced
they were going to investigate the possibility of including
fluoride in some of their bottled waters to help combat
the evils of tooth decay. A person with half a brain
would probably deduce that water is not a problem but
maybe sugar laden beverages are. But no, Coke wants
to focus on those that drink water rather than the
sugar drinkers.
The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, credit card issues, credit repair problems and
foreclosure. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control
government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel
Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years
ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
ways of credit repair,
so you can men those broken fences too. Do you want to keep your children protected
from outside forces, there are ways of protecting
your children. Do you want
to keep your sons and daughters free from 'the draft'? Check this out.
