Fluoride - more

Rather than a long expose' in the blog, here is a fairly good rundown on the simple facts of why we DON'T need the neurotoxic drug, fluoride, in our water. Fluoride .

From The (Skeptic's) Health Journal Club: (Aug 2010) Why we don't need fluoride

Here is an interesting paper by a scientist who thought nothing of fluoridation, but who became involved in a study of the effects of fluoride in the water supply almost by accident. Going into the study they assumed they would find nothing and be able to go on to more interesting work. What they found and tried to tell the rest of the world about cost them their jobs.

Nazi use of fluoride: Mind Control (emphasis added)
Excerpt:At the end of World War II, the US government sent Charles Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in Germany. The German chemists told Perkins of a scheme which they had devised during the war and had been adapted by the German General Staff. The German chemists explained of their attempt to control the population in any given area through the mass medication of drinking water with sodium fluoride, a tactic used in German and Russian prisoner of war camps to make the prisoners “stupid and docile”(Stephen 1995). Farben had developed plans during the war to fluoridate the occupied countries because it was found that fluoridation caused slight damage to a specific part of the brain, making it more difficult for the person affected to defend his freedom and causing the individual to become more docile towards authority. Fluoride remains one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances known, and is contained in twenty-five percent of the major tranquilizers. It may not seem surprising that Hitler’s regime practiced the concept of mind control through chemical means, but the American military continued Nazi research, exploring techniques to incapacitate an enemy or medicate an entire nation. As stated in the Rockerfeller Report, a Presidential briefing on CIA activities, “the drug program was part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of controlling human behavior”(Stephen 1995).
