you betcha

I can guarantee that it has already happened, I have most the symptoms of early childhood Fluoride damage.

Lead from the atmosphere, vinyl chloride from the plastics and poorly regulated neutron positive fluorine ions in the water.

The only way I could have been farked up more in my childhood is if I'd eaten more chicken and grown an awesome pair of tits.



You know, there's this plant in... New York where IBM burnt highly toxic plastics. Seems these plastics let off a chemical so intriguingly unique that it causes clitori and labia to hemorrhage during intercourse or masturbation. Such a powerful chemical that it only occurred in one place on earth.

And you think fluoride is dangerous to your nerves alone?

No siree! Fluoride in toothpaste will actually bind the bacteria and fungus in your mouth INTO YOUR TEETH making them weaker if you don't clean your mouth with purified water prior to using the toothpaste. Got yellow teeth? You didn't clean before brushing with paste.


I found that zero dentists know how this element works.

She drank five liters of water on the day she was admitted to the hospital. That's a bit more than the recommended four pints.

He can use phrases like -

prjindigo: poorly regulated neutron positive fluorine ions

- with a straight face.

That's enough expertise for the 'alternative therapy' community, although mentioning quantum states would improve his case.

You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it during the physical act of love. Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.

I can assure you it has not recurred. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women. But I... I do deny them my essence.

Might not 100% pertain to the article...

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine . . . and those who don't.

As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. (that's over 2 pounds).

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shiat .

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service

"After a few days she started vomiting but was allegedly assured by Mrs Nash that it was "all part of the detoxification process". Mrs Page, who weighed 12 stone (76kg), was even urged to increase her water intake to six pints a day and cut her salt intake further.

Mr Page said yesterday that the settlement reflected the seriousness of his wife's injuries. He said of his wife: "She was not obese or even mildly obese
..."

76kg = 168lbs. You sure about that, sport?

So, the nutritionist told her to drink an extra 4 big glasses of water a day and watch her salt intake? Close to a 2 liter bottle of water. Instead, she is drinking 2 1/2 times the amount told to her by the nutritionist.

As one of the people on the comments on the page said, perhaps the woman was brain damaged enough to think that pint = liter

1 pint = 16 ounces, one liter = 32 ounces (give or take a few drops)
5 liters of water = 169 ounces of water (give or take)

 
Cornered Beef 2008-07-27 10:29:25 AM  
Merltech: if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli

Yeah sure. That means around 3 grams E. Coli per liter. Better call the water works. OTOH you could be full of shiat, not the water.

Don't mess with your electrolyte balance, people. You need a certain amount of salt, potassium, and other minerals to keep your body working right.

The "therapist" should be strung up by her toes.

CreepyBasementGuy: Are you in a mental institution?

Scold all you like. Fluoride is dangerous, does cause health problems and won't save your teeth. You really think the government cares about the state of your teeth when they do fark all to ensure that you receive proper dental care? Come, now.

I think it's far saner to question the things forced on you without your consent than to just blindly accept crap because this idiotic, corrupt, untrustable government we're stuck with says it's good shiat.

They can't even fix the farking roads properly. Why trust them with your body?

It is disturbing how some people dismiss information out of hand. It is probably because of societal conditioning that you perpetuate your ignorance. It is failures like you CreepyBasementGuy, StoneColdAtheist, Bored Horde, etc, who belong in institutions. DIAF, assholes.

Although it's mostly Americans who are ingesting fluoride in their water, many countries have stopped their water fluoridation programs because of their research into the effects. These countries include: Finland, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, Austria, and even China, to name a few.

This is from the Wikipedia entry on the negative effects of water fluoridation (see the entry for citations):

* A weakening of bones, leading to an increase in hip and wrist fracture.[3]

* Liver damage, impaired kidney function, and fluorosis in children.[9]

* Cancer. The evidence is mixed and tentative,[10] although a 2006 study found a relationship with male children.[11]

* A 2000 epidemiological study found that in areas with high intake of silicofluorides, children had increased lead blood levels.[12][13] A 2007 update on this study confirmed the result and noted that silicofluorides, fluosilicic acid and sodium fluosilicate are used to fluoridate over 90% of US fluoridated municipal water supplies.[14]

* Chromosomal damage and interference with DNA repair.[citation needed]

* A lowering of IQ.[15]

* Inhibition of melatonin production and promotion of precocious puberty in animal studies.[16] Fluoride may have an analogous inhibitory effect on human melatonin production, as fluoride accumulates readily in the human pineal gland, the brain organ responsible for melatonin synthesis.[17]

* A weakened immune system, leaving people vulnerable to the development of cancer and AIDS.[18][19]

* Damage to the male reproductive system in various species.[20]

* A disruption in endocrine function, especially in the thyroid.[2]

What is it? Is it positive or is it negative or is it neutral like a neutron? You gotta help a brotha out here.

Yes and no. That is not how you are supposed to read the chemical formula... you read it as H2O even though it is bonded as h-O-h.
