Supporters of vaccinations believe that they are for the greater good; that parents who choose not to vaccinate are selfish, and a threat to other people’s children.

But for a public health policy to be for the greater good, the policy needs to be safe, effective, and the best way of achieving the aims

Many people argue about whether are really dangerous, but the risks are well proven.

What is less often discussed is whether they actually work – ie. do they reduce the spread of diseases? We say they don’t, and not a single properly designed study has ever been done that proves otherwise.

So why do pro vaccine interests claim the dangers are worth risking for “the greater good”? Their position seems indefensible. But there is a 4th thing to consider: Follow the money

Medical Industry For Profits

 

Everything We Have Been Told Is A Lie – The Medical Industry Is Designed For Profit Not People!

We are taught to believe that the medical industry is there to heal us but sadly this is often not the case. Although there are many good Doctors trying hard to assist people, the medical industry sees patients as clients from which to generate profit. There are positives to western medicine but the industry has become riddled with corruption.

Pharmaceutical companies have a single aim which is to generate as much profit for their shareholders as possible. Big Pharma has no financial incentive to heal you because they would loose a client. In this post we will discuss the true agenda for Big Pharma and the corruption built into the industry.

Big Pharma belongs to the web of large holdings which has allowed a very small number of powerful families to own the majority of our world. This imbalance has caused death, destruction and disharmony on our planet.

The Birth Of Big Pharma

Modern medicine and the Big Pharma cartel are relatively new phenomenons. In their short lifespan they have been guilty of almost every skullduggery known to humanity including murder. Contrary to acting for the benefit of humanity the industry avariciously covets profits. It is far more profitable to endlessly treat the symptoms rather than cure a disease. A prime founder of the industry was John D. Rockefeller who had already made enormous amounts of money with his Standard Oil company. Using his petrochemical products Rockefeller created chemicals which he sold as medicinal cures. Having once been quoted as saying “competition is a sin” Rockefeller set about removing any competition from medical practices which had been practiced previously. By this point the Supreme Court of the U.S. had already found Rockefeller and his trust guilty of corruption, illegal business practices and racketeering.

Rockefeller helped to define modern philanthropy with many large grants to Universities and trusts setting the stage for the corporate control of the medical schools and publications. This plan has largely been achieved globally and channels enormous wealth into the hands of a few people who control the industry. At every opportunity natural products have been patented or outlawed increasing the monopoly power of the cartel.

The primary function of the industry is to generate profit and that is most readily achieved by selling pills or procedures to people. Using natural remedies and cost effective cures does not factor into this equation. A trip to any chemist in the west today presents you shelves of expensive products but few if any of the natural and effective remedies which were available to our ancestors.

Big Phama Calling The Shots

A telling indicator of the state of the industry today is that the pharmaceutical lobby is the biggest spender in the US, spending a whopping $240 million on lobbying last year. This gives you an indication of how much money is involved in the industry and the need for Big Pharma to push for laws and conditions which will maximise their profits. This situation reeks of corruption.

Corruption is rife throughout the industry and I witnessed it first hand when I organised an event for one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The event was held on a tropical island attended by 300 doctors. The doctors were allowed to bring their wives, families or mistresses with them to the event. Everything was paid for the doctors including flights, hotel, transfers, food and beverages. At the end of the week the pharmaceutical company signed off on the doctor’s yearly mandatory study hours. Practically none of the doctors attended the event and even if they had it was just a marketing exercise for the company’s products. The implicit agreement was that the doctors could have a free weeks holiday once a year and have their study hours validated if they continued to sell this company’s products. These doctors seemed to have forgotten their Hippocratic Oath! My post on this experience can be read here.

Fortuitously I was having dinner in Phnom Penh last night with two indian heads of generic pharmaceutical firms. Both confirmed with me that bribing doctors with trips or gifts is standard even in the generic pharmaceutical business. This corruption is normal! These two gentlemen believed that the gifts were necessary but if the product was inferior then doctors would stop prescribing it. I think they were kidding themselves. When there is money involved there are always people who will be influenced by the trips and gifts. Big Pharma pays for over 30,000 of these doctor events yearly in Australian alone!

Much of modern medicine has deteriorated to identifying a symptom and then prescribing a pharmaceutical to deal with that one particular issue. The veterinary industry is exactly the same. I spent many years working with horses and became disillusioned with veterinarians. I searched out a healer who could teach me about plants and found the natural cures to be more effective and cheaper than the pharmaceuticals for many conditions.

Some estimates put the yearly cost of pharmaceutical marketing in the US at $56 billion! This huge amount of money is spent to drive the profits of the industry. Combined with the enormous amount of money spent on lobbying it is clear how profitable this industry is. In Australia recently there were TV advertisements that advised people to see their doctor to be prescribed medication for nerve pain. What does that even mean?

Medical Tragedies

The medical industry is not only very profitable but it also contributes to the deaths and injury of enormous amounts of people. Between 1996 and 2001, American pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma held over than 40 national “pain management symposia” for thousands of medical professionals in idyllic locations. These all expenses paid trips increased sails of OxyContin tenfold and started the current opioid addiction crisis. Pushing this addictive product onto people is very profitable but amounts to nothing more than drug pushing.

By 2012, sales of prescription opioids grossed $11 billion in the US annually and insufficient regulatory oversight contributed to over 15,000 fatal overdoses! This is just one of numerous tragic stories that implicate the medical industry with corruption and contributing to human death and misery.

Consolidation & Corruption

The proposed merger of Monsanto and Bayer Pharmaceuticals would create a truly frightening company that could be very harmful to humans and the planet. This merger is indicative of the consolidation we see happening in all large industries. One half of this frightening company would poison our food and the other half would sell us drugs to deal with the illnesses caused by eating poisoned food. Terrifying!

Regulators are still discussing whether to allow the merger but with the extreme lobbying budgets of these two giants and the extended political influence they have I suspect we will see the merger go ahead. To be honest I believe that these large multinational companies are all owned at the top by a few vastly powerful and wealthy families which interlock.

Vaccines

I know that the topic of vaccination is contentious and I also have an understanding of what the sentiment towards vaccines here on Steemit is. The topic has been covered at length but I just wish to raise a few points which are worth considering about vaccines.

  • Remember that Big Pharma is designed to produce as much profit as possible, human welfare is not the primary goal.
  • In the US families of those injured or killed by vaccines are not allowed to sue the pharmaceutical companies. This is a huge red flag. What other industry can you think of where the corporations cannot be held responsible for injury or death?
  • The number of people who have received compensation from the US government for vaccination injury or death is rising.
  • The number of vaccines that are given to people has sky rocketed in my lifetime.
  • Children are vaccinated at birth for hepatitis B which is a disease normally transmitted through sharing needles or sex. This is incredibly strange.
  • Australian children are now given 32 vaccines before they are 1 year old. A full lifetimes worth of vaccinations can be almost a hundred vaccines. The official Australian vaccination schedule can be found here.
  • This all adds up to enormous profit for Big Pharma!

The concept of herd immunity is often used to justify vaccinations. However a massive percentage of the population in places like Australia, the US and UK flies in and out of the country each year as tourists but none of these people are checked for vaccinations. How does this impact the concept of herd immunity? To me it seems to negate the concept. Can someone please explain this to me?

The Cycle Of Money

This colossus of an industry generates enormous volumes of money for the owners. This money is then redistributed to push for more profits. Money is spent in two directions. Firstly on lobbying with the pharmaceutical lobby being the biggest of all lobby groups in the US. This gives Big Pharma powerful influence over the government and allows them to push for laws which are favourable to them and increase profits.

Secondly the money is spent on advertising. In 2015 pharmaceutical advertising rose to $5.2 billion and there seems no sign of this trend reversing. This huge amount of money gives the pharmaceutical industry enormous influence over the already corrupt media industry. My intuition tells me that at the top both industries are controlled by the same people. The influence over the media means news stories which are not favourable towards Big Pharma are often suppressed and important information withheld from the public. News can also be skewed to be favourable for the industry and I suspect that this kind of information manipulation is happening with the vaccine debate.

All this money sloshing around to push for more profits and the cycle begins again. The concept of healing does not have a place in this process the driving factor is profit not people!

What Can We Do To Heal The Situation?

One of the most interesting studies for me has been learning about natural healing. Plants are powerful and have enormous healing properties. The knowledge of plant medicine is ancient and deserves much more respect than it gets. After all many pharmaceuticals are based around plants. There is a lot of valuable information online but it is important to remember that some plants can harm you if used incorrectly. The best thing to do is find people who already know about plants and talk with them. These people are not as common as they used to be before in our western cities but they are around if you look for them.

I do not wish this post to be a criticism of all doctors and professionals working in the medical industry because there are some amazing hard working people who dedicated themselves to the alleviation of illness and pain in others. I have doctors in my family and they agree with my perspective on corruption within the industry. What I see here is that Big Pharma has corrupted the medical industry. The relentless push for profits inevitably puts the welfare of patients second.

With the use of simple traditional remedies many common ailments can be effectively naturally treated cost effectively. One product that I find extremely effective which I make and use myself is Colloidal Silver. I will do a post soon on my experience with this product. Natural cures are excellent but mostly staying healthy is about eating clean healthy food and regular exercise! ?

Fluoride is absorbed through the skin

Fluoride is also absorbed through the skin so unless you have full household filtration you are absorbing it every time you shower...

 
Some facts about fluoride

– Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and it’s also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972.

Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).

– 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health risks, however most New Zealander's are being forced to drink it and the NZ government is trying to fast track the fluoridation of the entire country’s water supply.

– In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject’s will and therefore violated fundamental human rights.

– In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water.

– Other sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides, fluoridated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea.

There is no such thing as a virus

Viral disease is poisoning. "Covid" started with industrial pollution and 5g rollout in Wuhan. Spanish flu was vaccination and aspirin poisoning http://whale.to/v/spanish_flu.html.

Polio was DDT poisoning http://whale.to/v/polio2.htm Flu is air pollution (inc emf) and winter vit d deficiency http://whale.to/vaccines/flu.html Meningitis is drug poisoning http://whale.to/vaccine/meningitis2.html

Smallpox was a mild easily curable non contagious sanitary disease http://whale.to/vaccines/smallpox.html. They changed meaning of virus from poison to germ to create fear and hence vaccination http://whale.to/c/disease_theory_summary.html They then vanished toxicology http://whale.to/a/west_h.html. They then vanished the vitamin c cure for all viral disease since 1930s which would have destroyed vaccination http://whale.to/a/vitamin_c_banners.html

No virus has ever been isolated. http://whale.to/c/virology_banners.html. “Viruses have never been isolated, none, there is no measles virus” — Dr Robert Young

Paul Erlich and Robert Koch and some others made up the theory in the late 1800s.

All the modern chemical giants were just getting started mid century, around the time that germ theory was taking off.

When people were getting sick and dying from exposure to the new chemical poisons, they needed a way to divert attention. They tried to claim these illnesses were infections, but could find no infectious agent under the microscopes. So they made up viruses.

They were hypothesized to be little tiny bugs too small to see. What is telling is, the word virus means liquid poison.

It was not until the late 1930s that they invented the electron microscope and could see really small things, things the size of small snips of dna floating around in the lab juice. When they found these things they just pointed at them and said, “Ah hah! We’ve found what we were looking for.” Which is ridiculous because they did not know anything at all about what they had just found, what it was, where it came from, what it did.

In order to prepare a specimen for the electron microscope, you have to kill it. So when they are looking at “viruses” they are looking at cellular debris from cells that have been poisoned.

How do they find a virus? They take tissue, blood, or whatever, culture it in a lab, then poison it so the cells die and become just a pile of goo. They then make the electron microscope slide and look at the gunk on the slide. In all that gunk are little snips of dna. And there you have your virus.

A virus is a piece of poisoned, lab grown dna.

When they say, “viral illness” what they mean is poisoning. If you have a viral illness, you have been poisoned and your body is cleaning itself out.

What else besides things we ingest or inject can destroy our cells and make us ill, causing little snips of dna to show up in lab cell cultures? Electromagnetic radiation.

What is more, they are identifying this virus via pcr testing (polymerase chain reaction testing). They are identifying tiny little fragments of the dna code of these snips. They are not sequencing the entire thing in each patient.

So all these people are coming down with illnesses that cause the destruction of their cells and it is being called a viral illness because they find bits of dna in the resultant dead tissues.

They are finding the results of what they do and thinking it is the cause of the illness. They are making people sick, then blaming something they find as a result of their actions.

DR STEFAN LANKA DEBUNKS PICTURES OF “ISOLATED VIRUSES”

Dr. Stefan Lanka, virologist and molecular biologist, is internationally mostly known as an “AIDS dissident” (and maybe “gentechnology dissident”) who has been questioning the very existence of “HIV” since 1994. In the past years, however, he stumbled over a breathtaking fact: Not even ONE of the (medically relevant) viruses has ever been isolated; there is no proof of their existence. Actually, Dr. Lanka already stated three years ago, in the almost “legendary” Zenger´s interview:

“So, for a long time I studied virology, from the end to the beginning, from the beginning to the end, to be absolutely sure that there was no such thing as HIV. And it was easy for me to be sure about this because I realized that the whole group of viruses to which HIV is said to belong, the retroviruses – as well as other viruses which are claimed to be very dangerous – in fact do not exist at all.”

So he thoroughly read the literature on those “other viruses” again, and after he could still not find any paper which would provide the evidence, he encouraged people not to BELIEVE him but to ask the institutes and authorities themselves. This has actually eventuated, mostly initiated by mothers. The responses were revealing. In September 2001 the German book “Impfen – Völkermord im dritten Jahrtausend?” (Vaccination – Genocide in the third millennium?) by Stefan Lanka and Karl Krafeld was published in which they state that there is still no proof of any (medically relevant) virus.

This movement (klein-klein-aktion ~ many little actions/steps) has a German website: www.klein-klein-aktion.de which I have taken (and translated) all the following texts from.

For almost one year we have been asking authorities, politicians and medical institutes for the scientific evidence for the existence of such viruses that are said to cause disease and therefore require “immunization”. After almost one year we have not received even one concrete answer which provides evidence for the existence of those “vaccine-preventable viruses”. The conclusion is inevitable that our children are still vaccinated on the basis of scientific standards of the 18th and 19th century. In the 19th century Robert Koch demanded in his generally accepted postulates evidence of the virus in order to prove infection; at Koch´s time this evidence couldn´t be achieved directly by visualization and characterization of the viruses, because adequate technology wasn´t available at that time. Methods of modern medicine have profoundly changed over the past 60 years, in particular by the invention of the electron microscope, yet all these viruses we get immunised against have still never been re-examined using this technology?

We showed to Dr. Lanka a number of images and explanations we were pointed to and that were said to show – respectively describe (characterise) viruses. Here are his summarising comments:

“All these photos have in common that they, respectively the authors, can´t claim that they represent a virus, as long as they do not also provide the original publications which describe how and what from the virus has been isolated. Such original publications are cited nowhere.

Indeed, in the entire scientific medical literature there´s not even one publication, where the fulfillment of Koch´s first postulate is even claimed for such viruses. This means that there is no proof that the viruses held responsible for these diseases have been isolated from humans afflicted by them. Nevertheless, this is precisely what they publicly claim.

image.png

Now, regarding the photos submitted:

  1. Many of the photos are colored. This is proof enough, that they are the (art)work of designers, because electron microscopic photos always appear in black and white.
  2. The images of the so called HIV-, measles (Masern)- and smallpox (Pocken) viruses clearly show, as the image descriptions partly already indicate, that these are cells wherein the viruses can allegedly be found. Thus, nothing has been isolated. The photos actually show cells and typical endogenous particles in them. These structures are well known and serve the intra- and inter-cellular transport. Unlike viruses of the same kind – which are consistently the same size and same shape – they differ in size and shape and therefore can´t have been isolated.
  3. In the case of the influenza- herpes-, vaccinia-, polio-, adeno- and ebola-viruses each photo shows only a single particle; nobody claims that they´re isolated particles, let alone particles that have been isolated from humans.

These particles are partially the cellular particles mentioned above (#2) resp. typical artifacts which means: structures that accrue after inappropriate fixing and drying of the probes, while being prepared for the electron microscope.

  1. The “isolated” polio viruses are artificial particles, generated by suction of an indifferent mass through a very fine filter into a vacuum. Its structure (no characteristic structures) differ clearly from the ones of the “viruses” in the cells. Here the information is essential that a biochemical characterization of those “isolated” viruses, although “isolation” is claimed, has never been published anywhere nor has anybody even claimed such a characterization.
  2. The photo of the hepatitis B “viruses” does not show isolated structures, but – as the image title already says, an agglutinate. This is the scientific/medical term for proteins from the blood that are clumped together, as is typical for coagulations. Typically, round and also crystal structures accrue – depending on the condition of the blood sample – as a consequence .

In summary, it must be said that these photos are an attempt of fraud committed by the researchers and medical scientists involved, as far as they assert that these structures are viruses or even isolated viruses. To what extent the involved journalists and authors of textbooks have contributed to this fraud knowingly or only out of gross negligence, I don´t know. Everyone who starts researching the medical literature, will quickly encounter statements and references that Koch´s first postulate can´t be fulfilled (i.e. Großgebauer: Eine kurze Geschichte der Mikroben, 1997 [“A short history of the microbes”]; editor: Verlag für angewandte Wissenschaft). How these authors who claim the existence of viruses could overlook that, remains a riddle.

Could it be that the term “Contagium” = “Gift” (poison/toxin) = “Virus” from the 18th and 19th century was applied in the 20th century to the cell components which were named “viruses” since the electron microscope was introduced in 1931? And in order to hide this, the “disease causing viruses” have often been described, yet have never been isolated? And then they were used as seemingly logical explanation for poisonings and adverse affects of vaccination, as Luhmann (1995) (i.e.) writes about the symptomatic of Hepatitis B, which was observed for the first time in 1985 following smallpox vaccinations, and 1938 following measles vaccinations? The copies in the textbooks show only homogenous structures within cells and nothing that looks like something which has been isolated. The biochemical characterization, which is crucial, is completely lacking.

Robert Koch and colleagues, Prof. Rush, Prof. Max von Pettenkofer, Prof. Virchow have shown, for instance by experiments and by observation of the Henle-Koch´s rules that by transmission of bacteria, the supposed ‘contagium vivum’, it was not possible to cause the same disease. So Robert Koch modified (weakened) the 3rd postulate of his teacher, the German anatomist Henle, in that the generation of a similar symptom in animal experiments was now considered sufficient to prove the hypothesis of disease causation by infectious bacteria. (See Großgebauer: Eine kurze Geschichte der Mikroben).

So it does not surprise me that Prof. Alfred Fischer writes in his book “Vorlesungen über Bakterien” (“[academic] lectures on bacteria”) from 1897 (!): “As is true for any infectious disease – the fact that it does not only take the addition of the bacteria (for disease to occur) but also the unknown something of individual predisposition, goes without saying.”

Fluoride image gallery

 For anyone looking for some fluoride images, we have a gallery of fluoride images right here on this blog to share around online:

The Fluoride Deception

The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson documents a powerful connection between big corporations, the military, and the historic reassurances of fluoride safety provided by the government.

The Fluoride Deception reads like a thriller, but one supported by two hundred pages of source notes, years of investigative reporting, scores of scientist interviews, and archival research in places such as the newly opened files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. 

The book is nothing less than an exhumation of one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era: how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste.

Blood pressure and medications


Almost 50% of men and 61% of women in America aged seventy-five or older take blood pressure medications. The rationale is that high blood pressure is bad for the brain and increases the risk of stroke and dementia. While higher blood pressure is related to higher rates of stroke, high blood pressure may actually protect against dementia.

In a new study from the University of California-Irvine, researchers found that high blood pressure is associated with healthy brain aging. Participants who reported they had high blood pressure in the years before the study began were 42 percent less likely to develop dementia during the period of the study.

The researchers stated, “In this first-of-its-kind study, we find that hypertension is not a risk factor for dementia in people age 90 or over, but is actually associated with reduced dementia risk.”

Apparently, the body increases blood pressure as we age to ensure adequate blood flow to the brain. In the elderly, the walls of the arteries become thicker and the heart gets weaker, resulting in less blood flow to the brain and other organs. Increased blood pressure is a way to overcome these limitations.

Doctors prescribe several different types of drugs to lower blood pressure. ACE inhibitors contain a compound originally isolated from the venom of the Brazilian pit viper, which prevents an enzyme in your body from producing angiotensin II, a substance that narrows your blood vessels and releases hormones that can raise your blood pressure. They have many side effects including trouble breathing, dizziness or lightheadedness, irregular heartbeat, hives, fainting, dry cough, headache and swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat (see illustrations below).

Calcium channel blockers prevent calcium from entering cells of the heart and blood vessel walls, relaxing and widening blood vessels, resulting in lower blood pressure. Side effects include lightheadedness, low blood pressure, slower heart rate, drowsiness, constipation, increased appetite, GERD, bleeding gums and sexual dysfunction. While ACE inhibitors can cause swelling in the tongue and face, calcium channel blockers can cause swelling of the feet, ankles and legs.

Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. When you take beta blockers, your heart beats more slowly and with less force, thereby reducing blood pressure. The list of beta blocker side effects is long: congestive heart failure, fatigue, dizziness, depression, slower heartbeat, cold extremities, pins and needles, shortness of breath, drowsiness, lethargy, insomnia, headaches, poor memory, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, colitis, wheezing, bronchospasm, Raynaud’s syndrome, cramps and muscle fatigue, lowered libido and impotence, poor posture and hypoglycemia.

Finally, diuretics act by increasing the excretion of sodium by the kidneys into the urine. When the kidneys excrete sodium, they excrete water from the blood along with it. That decreases the amount of fluid flowing through the blood vessels, which reduces pressure on the walls of the arteries. Diuretics also have side effects, including dry mouth, thirst, weakness, lethargy, drowsiness, restlessness, muscle pains, cramps, confusion, seizures, muscle weakness, low urine production, racing heart, digestive problems, gout, increased uric acid—and death due to sodium deficiency.

The point is that all types of blood pressure medication can cause serious side effects. Seniors should be wary of taking them, especially as blood pressure, like cholesterol levels, goes up naturally and gradually with age.

What is normal blood pressure for seniors? For many years, the guideline number was 140/90. Then under new guidelines, researchers defined 120/70 as “borderline hypertension.” One twenty over seventy is a healthy blood pressure for people who are young and fit, but not necessarily for seniors. In fact, the old formula, “age plus one hundred over ninety,” probably serves seniors the best.

Anything in excess of this may warrant a blood pressure drug, but not before making changes in the diet. Elimination of processed food, including refined sweeteners and industrial seed oils, and incorporation of unrefined salt, cod liver oil and healthy animal fats will often bring blood pressure down. Epsom salts baths to provide magnesium and moderate outdoor exercise may also help.

And please note: if you want to go off blood pressure medication, don’t do it suddenly. Discontinue slowly. Cold turkey withdrawal can lead to very high blood pressure, heart attack and even sudden death.


SALT INTAKE

A key role of sodium is the maintenance of blood pressure. Adequate body sodium content is necessary for maintenance of blood volume and renal perfusion, and these variables are strongly defended by the body. When our salt consumption is too low, defense mechanisms include salt hunger to increase sodium intake and reduction of urine and sweat to reduce sodium losses. When salt intake is too high, salt receptors in the tongue “flip” from positive to negative, which tends to decrease intake of salty foods.

Fluoridation causes an average 5% drop in children's IQ

A Major US Government Study on Fluoride Damage to the brain should have ended fluoridation in New Zealand.

To summarize the key finding: Children born to mothers drinking the standard levels of fluoride used in NZ would have on average a 5 POINT LOWER IQ than children not exposed to fluoride poisoning.
 
 
The study published by the US Government’s Environmental Health Perspectives found that children born to mothers exposed to fluoride while pregnant, had significantly lower IQ scores. This is particularly relevant to New Zealand where most of the population is currently subjected to fluoridation.
 
It measured fluoride in urine and found the average level of fluoride in urine was 0.9mg/L (mg/L = parts per million). To relate this to water fluoride concentration, a separate study found that pregnant women in an area with 0.4 to 0.8 ppm water fluoride only had slightly lower urine fluoride than the average participants in this study. The NZ Ministry of Health recommends fluoride chemicals be added to the water at 0.85ppm.
 
Pregnant women in New Zealand in fluoridated areas likely have similar levels of urine fluoride as those in the American study. Urine fluoride reflects total fluoride intake from all sources, not just fluoridated water. The paper also reports that in the USA, which is 70% fluoridated, urine fluoride ranges from about 0.5 to 1.5 mg/L.
 
The child of a mother who was drinking water with 0.85ppm fluoride would be predicted to have 5 lower IQ points than if the mother had drunk water with close to zero fluoride in it. This obviously has huge consequences for New Zealand children.
 
The Ministry of Health recommended 1ppm until the 1990s when it reduced to a range from 0.7ppm to 1ppm, with a target of 0.85ppm. The US Human and Health Services have directed a maximum of 0.7ppm for fluoridation.
 
This study was very carefully done by a group of researchers who have produced over 50 papers on the cognitive health of children in relationship to environmental exposures. It was funded by the US Government’s National Institute of Health and was a multi-million dollar study. This was the group’s first study of fluoride – their other studies mostly dealing with lead, mercury and other environmental neurotoxicants.
 
The study controlled for a wide range of potential factors that might have skewed the results and produced a false effect. It was able to largely rule out confounding effects by these other factors. The factors ruled out included lead, mercury, socio-economic status, smoking, alcohol use, and health problems during pregnancy.
 
This study offers confirmation of previous studies in Mexico, China and elsewhere. Some of those studies had higher fluoride exposures than are commonly found in fluoridating countries, but many did not. 
 
The sole study in a country with artificial water fluoridation was by Dunedin (NZ) dentist Jonathan Broadbent. That study found no association between water fluoridation and IQ and was trumpeted by fluoridation defenders. But that study was shown to have almost no difference in TOTAL fluoride intake between the children with fluoridated water and those with non-fluoridated water, since at least half of the children in the non-fluoridated area were given fluoride supplements. This left only a small proportion of the study children without substantial fluoride exposure. 
 
Nor did this study look at maternal fluoride exposure during pregnancy, which could be the most vulnerable time of exposure.
 
The study authors were cautious in their conclusions, but the implications of this study are enormous. There have been 58 other human studies looking at fluoride exposure and harm to the brain – 51 of them have found an association.

NZ Foods are poisoned with fluoride

The European Court of Justice ruled in 2009 that fluoridated water must be treated as a medicine, and cannot be used to prepare foods, so Europe could technically block foods imported from Australia, NZ, USA and Ireland at any time.
