Fluoridation

October 3, 2008

Finally America’s National Kidney Foundation have come out against the fluoridation of water in America. People with chronic kidney disease, which incidentally could be as much as 14% of the population, are affected significantly by water companies putting fluoride in the water. Sufferers tend to develop a form of arthritic bone disease called skeletal fluoridosis, which can lead to fractures and dental decay, the very thing it is meant to be helping. So whilst they are encouraged to drink more water, ironically this undermines their whole health due to the contamination from fluoride.

We are affected by fluoride far more than we realise, many toothpastes, and other dental products contain it, and just as an aside any company dealing with fluoride as a waste product have to deal with it as a dangerous chemical. What on earth is it being put into our water supply for?

I am very keen on us having pure water for our bodies, and am really upset about the UK Governments considering the fluoridation of its water supplies, to the point where I have invested in the best water filtration system I could buy. Fluoride in the water supply, even at the supposedly ‘safe’ levels, can also affect the thyroid gland America’s National Research Council says, people who are iodine deficient are especially vulnerable, it says in its first ever report into the safety of fluoridated water.

“A low level of thyroid hormone can increase the risk of cardiac disease, high cholesterol, depression, and, in pregnant women, decreased intelligence of offspring,” says the NRC’s Kathleen Thiessen, co-author of the report.
Robert Carton, an environmental scientist who worked for 30 years for the US government, says: “Fluoride has detrimental effects on the thyroid gland of healthy males at 3.5 mg a day.  With iodine deficiency, the effect levels drop to 0.7 milligrams a day for the average male.”
Why would a Government with this level of information available still be pushing for this to happen?

Irradiated foods

August 23, 2008

Some things scare me, and this is one of them! I read that more foods in the US are about to be irradiated and with no labeling at all, it has been agreed recently by the FDA. It is difficult enough to get natural foods from supermarkets which haven’t been tampered with in some way now, but at least they are labeled so that you know to what level. But the thought that you could be buying foods which are effectively useless for the human body nutritionally is just awful, and is effectively a death sentence.

People are inevitably going to become sicker and sicker over a period of time if they can not get nutritionally dense foods which support the body systems to work properly. There are already so many health issues due to the poor foods that are available, and this is just the final nail in that whole food chain coffin. Why would the FDA do this to the American people? I think the only people it can benefit is the pharmaceutical companies who are going to have an absolute field day offering medications to help suppress the diseases that this is inevitably going to cause. What a great way to kill people off, by not only creating a Codex which will stop the growing of organic foods in all countries bit by bit, but also irradiating what good and natural food is available.

The worrying thing is, that which tends to happen in the US is often taken up by the UK as well, hey it’s the same companies influencing our governments.  Growing your own food without pesticides is probably going to be something you can’t even do under the Codex. What is going on, please ask yourselves, what are our governments trying to do to us? These attacks on our health and personal wellbeing are not going to stop, they are getting more and more. Fluoridation of the water supplies is in effect mass medication! Would you want to take something which is toxic to the body, I know I don’t. Alan Johnson the current Health Secretary (in loose terms as I am not sure what credentials he actually holds to enable him to have that term) is investing masses of our taxes to fluoridate our water, another attack on our health.

The fact is that little bit by little bit our choice to purchase or grow natural, unadulterated food and water is lessening all the time, with government consent. A government which is bankrolled by the tax that we pay! What happened to our say in all this, or is our health all coming under corporate control?
