Quote "Sadly, 1 in every 4 pregnancies ends in a loss frommiscarriage and stillbirth"

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, therewere more than 2,900 perinatal deaths in Australia. In addition, each year manymore parents experience the loss of a baby early in the pregnancy. Sadly, one in every four pregnancies ends in a lossfrom miscarriage and stillbirth. http://www.sandsvic.org.au

Professor (Dr) A.K. Susheela who is visiting Australiasays long-term studies show fluoride is a serious threat to public health. Ithas not only has been linked to increased rates of stillbirth and miscarriagesamong Indian populations exposed to fluoride in water, but poses a serious riskof birth abnormalities including mental retardation.

Professor (Dr) A.K. Susheela of India, who hasresearched fluoride for more than 20 years, has listed a range of health issueslinked to fluoride ingestion, she has more than 80 scientific publications in leadingWestern and Indian Journals.

Dr Susheela says the studies have shownfluoride destroysmuscle structure and muscle function, depletes muscle energy; destroys the boneand teeth, red blood cells, blood vessels and the lining of the stomach andintestine.

“We nowhave ample scientific evidence to substantiate the fact that ingestion offluoride prevents biosynthesis of hemoglobin leading to anemia in human beings.We have studied this problem in pregnant mothers. The danger of anemia inpregnancy is that it would lead to abnormalities in the development of theembryo/foetus,” says Dr Susheela.

“Studies also indicate it harms fetuses carried bypregnant women and may cause abortions and stillbirths.”

Dr Susheela says results of reducing fluoride in waterinclude reduced abortions and stillbirths as fluoride is known to inducecalcification of blood vessels of the fetus.

“It has been shown that when fluoride-contaminated water (>1.0 mg/L)and dental products are consumed or used by pregnant mothers, it destroys thethyroid gland of the embryo/foetus,” says Dr Susheela.

“When children with dental fluorosis wereinvestigated, there were severe derangements in the thyroid hormone levels T3(Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Tetraiodothyronine) along with Thyroid StimulatingHormone (TSH). Such children suffer from sub-clinical hypothyroidism, T3toxicosis, low T3 syndrome, primary hypothyroidism and disturbed hormoneconversion.

“Thyroidhormone defects results in mental retardation (low IQ) in children, deafmutism, knock-knee, bow-leg and cretinism.”

DrSusheela says the results of the studies on women ingesting fluoride werereported at the 27^th Conference of the International Society forFluoride Research, Beijing, China, Oct. 2007. The study is: Fluoride Ingestionand Health Hazards with Focus on Anaemia in Pregnancy and low birth weightbabies: Guidelines for rectification: Susheela A.K, Mondal NK,Rashmi G, Ganesh Kamala, Bhasin Shammi, Gupta Gunjan.

“The evidences we have provided on the harmful effects of fluoride onhuman health, unequivocally prove the point that fluoride is disease-causingand not disease preventing. Our scientific publications would not only standthe test of time but also before any judiciary in any part of the world, as itis based on biomedical research of highest standards,” says Dr Susheela.

“With a high degree of scientific accuracy andcertainty, I conclude that artificial fluoridation of drinking water is anineffective means of improving dental health, and is in fact quite dangerous tothose forced to consume it.”

In regard to claims by Australian health authoritiesthat water fluoridation strengthens teeth surfaces and prevents dental caries(cavities), Dr Susheela’s research indicates the opposite.

“The findings emerging from the studies on both toothand bone have made significant contributions to negate the belief that fluorideis good for teeth. Instead, fluoride does more damage to teeth than any goodand prolonged use of fluoride leads to a decrease in the organic matrix ofrabbit tooth but dermatan sulphate content is increased,” says Dr Susheela.

Dr Susheela says India launched a Technology Missionon "Safe Drinking Water" in 1986 (now re-designated after the latePrime Minister Sh. Rajiv Gandhi, as Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking WaterMission) in which every drinking water source in the rural sector is checkedfor water quality, especially for fluoride.

“People are keen to defluoridate the water due togastrointestinal problems and are adopting indigenous technology for obtainingpotable (defluoridated) water,” she said.

“Substantial scientific evidence has emerged in recentyears from studies conducted on human subjects and hospital patients and thoseresiding in areas/regions/villages where fluoride content ranges in drinkingwater from 0.5 ppm to 38.5 ppm,” said Dr Susheela.

She said the findings came after 20 years of follow-upstudies that have now been concluded. The findings also included:

· Gastro-intestinal complaints arethe earliest manifestations of fluoride toxicity and fluorosis. The most commoncomplaints include (1) headache; (2) nausea (loss of appetite); (3) pain in thestomach; (4) gas formation in the stomach (bloated feeling); (5) constipation;(6) intermittent fermentation diarrhea.

· As a result of the above, gastrointestinal complaints in endemic areas are considered as early warning signs ofthe fluoride toxicity and are used as a diagnostic parameter under field basedconditions. See report: Fluoride Ingestion and its Correlation withGastrointestinal Discomfort.

· Fluoride in circulation has anaffinity to get deposited in tissues rich in calcium although some amount isexcreted. In children, the fluoride ingested has adverse effects on kidneyfunction. See Fluoride: Too Much Can Cripple You.

· Significant findings emerged fromstudies on human patients with skeletal fluorosis. Degenerative changes werewell defined at the ultrastructural level in the fluoresced muscle obtainedfrom patients with skeletal fluorosis.

· Fluoride inhibits antibodyformation in rabbits and may occur in human subjects as well.

· Fluoride inhibits protein and DNAsynthesis in cultured lymphocytes.

“I am absolutely certain that largenumbers of persons all around the world are suffering from fluoride toxicity,to one degree or other,” said Dr Susheela.

Dr Susheela isexecutive director, of the Fluorosis Research and Rural Development Foundationin India, Professor of Anatomy (Histocytochemistry)and Chief of the Fluoride and Fluorosis Research Laboratories, at the All IndiaInstitute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

Her post-doctoral training was under Lord Walton(Neurologist) of U.K. and Dr. Ade Milhorut of the Muscle Institute, New York,USA, (no longer exists).

VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR AND CRIMINALITY – ADVERSE HEALTH &BEHAVIOUR FROM SILICOFLUORIDES

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rmasters

Report from FLUORIDE RESEARCH on Water Fluoridation &Crime in the United States of America

If water fluoridation were ended, it might take a generationfor the effects to recede.

If it continues to expand, the “signal” identified in thisstudy may get lost in the “noise” of endemic violence.
