The United States is in the wake of yet
another horrific school shooting - another shooting carried
out by another boy reportedly taking a fluorinated
pharmaceutical, Prozac. Another fluorinated drug, Luvox, was
reportedly taken by one of the shooters in the Columbine
tragedy. Similarly, there have been reports from US troops
that bizarre, psychotic, aggressive behavior has been observed
in individuals after taking Lariam, which is a fluorinated
antimalarial. According to a January 2004 article in the
Archives of Internal Medicine, cholesterol-lowering statins
have now also been linked to aggressive, violent behavior.
Lescol, Lipitor, Baycol and Crestor are all fluorinated.
Baycol was removed from the market, following at least 31
known deaths from adverse symptoms.
Quite the opposite from America’s ongoing lack of awareness
pertaining to fluorides, fluoride toxicity has been
well-known, studied and well-documented in other countries for
almost a century.
Andreas Schuld, who is the founder of Parents of Fluoride
Poisoned Children headquartered in Canada (www.bruha.com/pfpc/),
is considered by many at this time to be among the world’s
leading experts on fluorides. He states, “IG Farben chemists
discovered that fluorides were potent anti-thyroid substances
back in the 1930s.”
Following this discovery in Germany, thousands of patients in
one clinic alone had their thyroid activity decreased through
the administration of minute doses of fluoride compounds. One
proven, effective method of administering this anti-thyroid
medical treatment was by having the patients bathe in water
dosed with minute amounts of fluoride compounds.
While weight gain and obesity are perhaps among the more
well-known and visible signs of thyroid dysfunction, there are
other signs of thyroid crisis that are not as visible, and may
not become apparent until the affected person reaches a
“breaking point.”
The “silent” signs of thyroid crisis can include profound
behavioral changes, neurological problems, sleep and memory
disturbances, dementia, psychoses, depression, lethargy or
loss of initiative, increased cholesterol levels, and
according to the Thyroid Foundation of Canada, “general
intellectual deterioration.”
In addition, violent and uncharacteristic episodes of rage are
reported with enough frequency that those suffering from one
thyroid disorder, “Grave’s disease,” refer to this disturbing
symptom as “Grave’s rage.”
Sometimes accompanying the depression are feelings of
emotional detachment and emotional numbness, both of which
have been repeatedly described by, or attributed to the boys
involved in the school shootings.
The number of citizens now suffering from thyroid problems in
the US is unknown because many are thought to be undiagnosed
at this time. In addition, most people do not realize that the
above emotional and psychological symptoms might actually be
signaling a thyroid malfunction.
According to information found on the website of the National
Institutes of Health, two-thirds of US adults are now
struggling with their weight. On the website of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a report stating
that approximately two-thirds of the people in the US are
being fluorinated via their drinking water. Also
indicative of a national thyroid epidemic is the fact that
Synthroid, a drug used to treat thyroid malfunction, is one of
the most-prescribed drugs in the US.
While many try to avoid drinking fluoridated water by
purchasing bottled water, two-thirds of the population have no
choice but to bathe in “water dosed with minute amounts of
fluoride compounds” - the same method of delivery once used in
Germany to decrease thyroid functioning.
The full effects of fluoride’s dark side are not yet known in
the United States, nor is it known yet if fluoride affects
people differently according to their race and, therefore,
skin color. Schuld states that research indicates tooth
mottling or “ dental fluorosis” is actually a sign of thyroid
disorder, and that in at least one test conducted by the
Bureau of Dental Health in New York, it was noted that the
risk for fluorosis was greater in African-American children
than in whites.
Perhaps the ongoing occurrences of rage and other unexplained,
bizarre behaviors in the US, as well as the numerous epidemics
now plaguing us, are, in fact, all related to the fact that
two-thirds of our population is being dosed on a daily basis
with a known thyroid toxin, at an unknown dose. Poison the
thyroid, and the entire body as well as the mind will be
affected.
The continued dosing of US waters as well as pharmaceutical
products with fluoride compounds without full inquiry into
fluoride’s effects on mental capacity - especially in children
- amounts to reckless endangerment.
