I just found this on the RMNews Updates... This points out that I need to use the "previous" button on the RMNews Webpage more often. I missed this article the the day it went up. In case there are Forum Readers who don't click on the RMNews Updates, I am putting it up here.

"Why'd you do it, Doc? Why'd you toss the fluoride folks overboard?"
I had just tracked down Dr. Hardy Limeback, B.Sc., Ph.D., in Biochemistry,
D.D.S., head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry for the University of
Toronto, and president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research.
Dr. Limeback is Canada's leading fluoride authority and, until recently, the
country's primary promoter of the controversial additive.
In a surprising newsmaker interview this past April, Dr. Limeback announced
a dramatic change of heart. "Children under three should never use
fluoridated toothpaste," he counseled. "Or drink fluoridated water. And baby
formula must never be made up using Toronto tap water. Never."
Why, I wondered? What could have caused such a powerful paradigm shift?
"It's been building up for a couple of years," Limeback told me during a
recent telephone interview. "But certainly the crowning blow was the
realization that we have been dumping contaminated fluoride into water
reservoirs for half a century. The vast majority of all fluoride additives
come from Tampa Bay, Florida, smokestack scrubbers. The additives are a
toxic byproduct of the super-phosphate fertilizer industry."
"Tragically," he continued, "that means we're not just dumping toxic
fluoride into our drinking water. We're also exposing innocent, unsuspecting
people to deadly elements of lead, arsenic and radium, all of them
carcinogenic. Because of the cumulative properties of toxins, the
detrimental effects on human health are catastrophic."
A recent study at the University of Toronto confirmed Dr. Limeback's worst
fears. "Residents of cities that fluoridate have double the fluoride in
their hip bones vis-a-vis the balance of the population. Worse, we
discovered that fluoride is actually altering the basic architecture of
human bones."
Skeletal fluorosis is a debilitating condition that occurs when fluoride
accumulates in bones, making them extremely weak and brittle. The earliest
symptoms?
"Mottled and brittle teeth," Dr. Limeback told me. "In Canada we are now
spending more money treating dental fluorosis than we do treating cavities.
That includes my own practice."
One of the most obvious living experiments today, Dr. Limeback believes, is
a proof-positive comparison between any two Canadian cities. "Here in
Toronto we've been fluoridating for 36 years. Yet Vancouver - which has
never fluoridated - has a cavity rate lower than Toronto's." And, he pointed
out, cavity rates are low all across the industrialized world including
Europe, which is 98% fluoride free. Low because of improved standards of
living, less refined sugar, regular dental checkups, flossing and frequent
brushing. Now less than 2 cavities per child Canada-wide, he said. "I don't
get it, Doc. Last month, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ran a puff
piece all across America saying the stuff was better than sliced bread.
What's the story?" "Unfortunately," he replied, "the CDC is basing its
position on data that is 50 years old, and questionable at best. Absolutely
no one has done research on fluorosilicates, which is the junk they're
dumping into the drinking water."
"On the other hand," he added, "the evidence against systemic fluoride
in-take continues to pour in."
"But Doc, the dentists."
"I have absolutely no training in toxicity," he stated firmly. "Your
well-intentioned dentist is simply following 50 years of misinformation from
public health and the dental association. Me, too. Unfortunately, we were
wrong."
Last week, Dr. Hardy Limeback addressed his faculty and students at the
University of Toronto, Department of Dentistry. In a poignant, memorable
meetng, he apologized to those gathered before him.
"Speaking as the head of preventive dentistry, I told them that I had
unintentionally mislead my colleagues and my students. For the past 15
years, I had refused to study the toxicology information that is readily
available to anyone. Poisoning our children was the furthest thing from my
mind."
"The truth," he confessed to me, "was a bitter pill to swallow. But swallow
it I did."
South of the border, the paradigm shift has yet to dawn. After half a
century of delusion, the CDC, American Dental Association and Public Health
stubbornly and skillfully continue to manipulate public opinion in favor of
fluoridation.
Meantime, study after study is delivering the death knell of the deadly
toxin. Sure, fuoridation will be around for a long time yet, but ultimately
its supporters need to ready the life rafts. The poisonous waters of doubt
and confusion are bound to get choppier.
"Are lawsuits inevitable?" I asked the good doctor. "Remember tobacco," was
his short, succinct reply. Welcome, Dr. Hardy Limeback, to the far side of
the fluoride equation. It's lonely over here, but in our society loneliness
and truth frequently travel hand in hand. Thank you for the undeniable
courage of your convictions.

In 1986-87 ORNL discovered that fluorides in the body cause accumulation of
calcium-fluoride in the lymph nodes and that this damages the pathogen
destruction mechanism of the immune system.
Oak Ridge and its industry minions employ supplanted activist organizations
fabricating mysterious illness directions to hide HF emission/toxic effects
and human nuclear experiment war crimes.
Oak Ridge and other gas diffusion sites are primarily Bhopal-like chemically
affected areas and secondarily a Chernobyl-like radiation affected area. Gas
diffusion sites are also affected with high coal power emissions and
compounded with heavy metal and hundreds of other emissions from the plants
that produce toxic effects. These too, damage the lymph nodes, as these
cells are the most exposed in the body.
These exposures cause shortened longevity, impacted learning, and produce a
gullible population for political and industry profiting.
Those whose health was affected in the Gulf War affected have related
fluoride toxic effects from nerve gases and insoluble metal oxide
concentrations in lung lymph nodes.
In common with GW and DOE gas diffusion ills are long term halogen toxic and
metal oxides insult via bioconcentration into the lymphatic system,
impairment of macrophages, and damage to mitochondria of cells resulting in
immune pathogen protection damage and resultant rise of viral, bacterial,
mycoplasma, and fungal cell damage.
In the new millennium, the truth will set all free to enter a kinder and
gentler time for environment and health.
