2. Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood
cells, but inhibits these processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a
foreign agent in the blood.

Degranulation and Metabolic Activation," Blood, Vol 57, pp.913-921 (1981).
3. Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of white blood cells to
properly destroy foreign agents by the process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm
fluoride stimulates superoxide production in resting white blood cells, virtually
abolishing phagocytosis. Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 1ppm, may
seriously depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.

Society for Fluoride Research, Beijing, China, September 5-9, 1994.
12. Fluoride studies in rats can be indicative of a potential for motor disruption,
intelligence deficits and learning disabilities in humans. Humans are exposed to
plasma levels of fluoride as high as those in rat studies. Fluoride involves interruption
of normal brain development. Fluoride affects the hippocampus in the brain, which
integrates inputs from the environment, memory, and motivational stimuli, to
produce behavioral decisions and modify memory. Experience with otherdevelopmental neurotoxicants prompts expectations that changes in behavioral
functions will be comparable across species, especially humans and rats.

Fluoride in Rats", Muellenix, Denbesten, Schunior, Kernan, 1995.
13. Fluorides accumulate in the brain over time to reach neurologically harmful
levels.

Fluoride in Rats", Muellenix, Denbesten, Schunior, Kernan, 1995.
14. "Fluorides are general protoplasma poisons, with the capacity to modify the
metabolism of cells by inhibting certain enzymes. Sources of fluoride intoxication
include drinking water containing 1ppm or more of fluorine."
Journal of the American Medical Association, September 18, 1943.
15. "Drinking water containing as little as 1.2 ppm fluoride will cause developmental
disturbances. We cannot run the risk of producing such serious systemic
disturbances. The potentialities for harm outweigh those for good."
Journal of the American Dental Association, Editorial, October 1, 1944.
Other Facts about Fluoride
The contents of a family-size tube of fluoridated toothpaste is enough to kill a 25-
pound child.
In 1991, the Akron (Ohio) Regional Poison Centre reported that "death has been
reported following ingestion of 16mg/kg of fluoride. Only 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride
could kill a 100 pound adult. According to the Centre, "fluoride toothpaste contains
up to 1mg/gram of fluoride." Even Proctor and Gamble, the makers of Crest,
acknowledge that a family-sized tube "theoretically contains enough fluoride to kill a
small child."
Fluorides have been used to modify behaviour and mood of human beings.
It is a little known fact that fluoride compounds were added to the drinking water of
prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison
camps in World War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia.
Fluorides are medically categorized as protoplasmic poisons, which is why they are
used to kill rodents.
1943 The Journal of the American Medical Association on September 18, 1943,
states, "fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons, changing the permeability of the
cell membrane by inhibiting certain enzymes. The exact mechanismof such actions
are obscure.".
Fluoride consumption by human beings increases the general cancer death rate.
1975 Dr. John Yiamouyiannis published a preliminary survey which shows that
people in fluoridated areas have a higher cancer death rate than those in nonfluoridated areas. The National Cancer Institute attempts to refute the studies. Later
in 1975, Yiamouyiannis joins with Dr. Dean Burk, chief chemist of the National
Cancer Institute (1939-1974) in performing other studies which are then included in
the Congressional Record by Congressman Delaney, who was the original author of the Delaney Amendment, which prohibited the addition of cancer-causing substances
to food used for human consumption.
Both reports confirmed the existence of a link between fluoridation and cancer.
(Note: Obviously Dr. Burk felt free to agree with scientific truth only after his tenure
at NCI ended, since his job depended on towing the party line).
