Dr. Obama's tonsillectomy
EXCERPT:
Those greedy doctors. “You come in and you’ve got a bad sore throat, or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats,” President Obama explained at Wednesday’s press conference. “The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, ‘You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out.’”

Fluoride from Atomic Waste
EXCERPT:
The science of fluoridating public drinking water systems has been, from day one, shoddy at best. As we learn from this report, the basis of that science was rooted in protecting the U.S. Atomic bomb program from litigation. Americans have been convinced that fluoride will save their teeth and we drink more fluoridated water than any other nationality on earth. We learned about the dirty politics involved in the science and selling of fluoridation to a trusting public. We spent three months researching fluoride which resulted in the longest newsletter we've ever produced: Waste Not # 373.

The usual players behind fluoride.... IG Farben, Rockefellers, yadayadayada, you know, the NAZI guys
EXCERPT:
The story begins in 1924, when Interessen Gemeinschaft Farben (I.G. Farben), a German chemical manufacturing company, began receiving loans from American bankers, gradually leading to the creation of the huge I.G. Farben cartel. In 1928 Henry Ford and American Standard Oil Company (The Rockefellers) merged their assets with I.G. Farben, and by the early thirties, there were more than a hundred American corporations which had subsidiaries and co-operative understandings in Germany. The I.G. Farben assets in America were controlled by a holding Company, American I.G. Farben, which listed on it’s board of directors: Edsel Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, Chas. E. Mitchell, President of Rockerfeller’s National City Bank of New York, Walter Teagle, President of Standard Oil New York, Paul Warburg, Chairman of the federal reserve and brother of Max Warburg, financier of Germany’s War effort, Herman Metz, a director of the Bank of Manhattan, controlled by the Warburgs, and a number of other members, three of which were tried and convicted as German war criminals for their crimes against humanity. In 1939 under the Alted agreement, the American Aluminum Company (ALCOA), then the worlds largest producer of sodium fluoride, and the Dow Chemical Company transferred its technology to Germany. Colgate, Kellogg, Dupont and many other companies eventually signed cartel agreements with I.G. Farben, creating a powerful lobby group accurately dubbed "the fluoride mafia"(Stephen 1995).

At the end of World War II, the US government sent Charles Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in Germany. The German chemists told Perkins of a scheme which they had devised during the war and had been adapted by the German General Staff. The German chemists explained of their attempt to control the population in any given area through the mass medication of drinking water with sodium fluoride, a tactic used in German and Russian prisoner of war camps to make the prisoners "stupid and docile"(Stephen 1995). Farben had developed plans during the war to fluoridate the occupied countries because it was found that fluoridation caused slight damage to a specific part of the brain, making it more difficult for the person affected to defend his freedom and causing the individual to become more docile towards authority. Fluoride remains one of the strongest anti-psychotic substances known, and is contained in twenty-five percent of the major tranquilizers. It may not seem surprising that Hitler’s regime practiced the concept of mind control through chemical means, but the American military continued Nazi research, exploring techniques to incapacitate an enemy or medicate an entire nation. As stated in the Rockerfeller Report, a Presidential briefing on CIA activities, "the drug program was part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means of controlling human behavior"(Stephen 1995).

The ‘dental caries prevention myth’ associated with fluoride, originated in the United States in 1939, when a scientist named Gerald J. Cox, employed by ALCOA, the largest producer of toxic fluoride waste and at the time being threatened by fluoride damage claims, fluoridated some lab rats, concluded that fluoride reduced cavities and claimed that it should be added to the nation’s water supplies. In 1947, Oscar R. Ewing, a long time ALCOA lawyer, was appointed head of the Federal Security Agency , a position that placed him in charge of the Public Health Service(PHS). Over the next three years, eighty-seven new American cities began fluoridating their water, including the control city in a water fluoridation study in Michigan, thus eliminating the most scientifically objective test of safety and benefit before it was ever completed.

Weak immune system"
EXCERPT:
Toxic/Heavy Metals

Heavy metals are a strong poison to your cells. They can creep into your system without you knowing it and are very difficult to remove. They can be in your system for years slowly creating a weak immune system and because they are transferred in the womb, you may have even been born with some. There are many different types of heavy metal cleansers, some as simple as cilantro. Here are a few of the most common examples of heavy metals that cause a weak immune system:

•Fluoride- Destroys enzymes which are crucial for proper immune function. Mutates DNA. DNA protects against cancer and infectious disease. Increases brain’s absorption of aluminum. Damages the thyroid, a key organ for immune support. Some sources are toothpaste, water supply, dental treatments, sprayed on food crops as fertilizer. For more info go to www.nofluoride.com

•Mercury- Even more toxic than lead. Attacks the brain and nervous system causing Parkinson and many other problems. Selenium helps neutralize effects of mercury. A contributor to candida, chronic fatigue and chronic infections. Some sources are dental fillings, fabric softeners, ink, plastics, wood preservatives, used to treat grains and seeds, fungicides and pesticides, fish, some medications, immunizations and vaccines such as flu shots and many others. See this three minute movie of what happens to brain neurons exposed to mercury.

•Aluminum- Overstimulates the brain’s immune system. Regular exposure puts a strain on the lymphatic system causing a weak immune system. Causes Alzheimer and other health problems. Some sources are cookware, deodorant, vaccines and immunizations, water supply, auto exhaust, pain killers, baking powders, table salt, antacids.

•Lead- Inhibits enzyme functions critical for immune function. Diminishes the ability of selenium to protect against free radical damage. The body cannot distinguish between calcium and lead, so pulls lead into the bones for long term leaching effects causing a weak immune system. Some sources are lead water pipes (in homes built before 1930), lead soldered copper pipes, vinyl mini blinds, porcelain-glazed sinks and tubs, ceramic glazes, lead-based paint, tobacco, liver, wine, bone meal, lead crystal dishes and insecticide. Use Leadcheck Swabs to check dishes for lead at Hybrivet systems 1-800-262-5323.

•Cadmium- Causes a weak immune system by decreasing production of T cells - key white blood cells that protect the body by destroying foreign invaders and cancer cells. Causes zinc deficiency. Some sources are tobacco smoke, second hand tobacco smoke, silver solders, pigments, drinking water, fertilizer, fungicides, pesticides, refined grains, rice, coffee, tea and soft drinks.

•Iron - Excess iron in the body causes free radicals that convert healthy cells to cancer cells, contributes to heart disease, damages the liver and other health problems. Iron supplements should only be consumed if you know you have a deficiency and then only in smallest quantity needed to correct deficiency. Over consumption of animal products and wine can also cause an overload of iron in the body.

Polio and tonsillectomies
EXCERPT:
Doctor’s are starting to think that the polio epidemics of the 1940’s and
1950’s may have been caused by the high number of tonsillectomies done in
the 1920’, 30’s and 40’s. They have discovered that the only area of the
body that can synthesize the antibody to poliomyelitis is the tonsils. If
you don’t have tonsils you can’t fight off polio.

"I also pointed out that the medical profession’s love affair with routine
tonsillectomies was also a factor. At the time, around 1910’ish, doctors
decided that these things which now seemed to get so pussy, were obviously
no used, so should be whipped out. And while we’re at it, why not take them
out before they became a problem. In America, by the 1950’s, every year,
2.2 million babies were born. Guess what, 2 million tonsils were also
removed. What a wonderful industry this was too. But what they didn’t
realise was that anyone without tonsils had a 600% greater chance of
getting paralytic polio, because the tonsils are the primary defence of the
body against polio virus."--Hilary Butler

The dangers of tonsillectomy comes out 50 years later
EXCERPT:
First time portable CT used for skull base endoscopic transnasal surgery
20. March 2009 14:29

When Susan Dailey was 11 years old, she was admitted to a hospital by her loving parents, who assumed she would get a routine tonsillectomy to cure her chronic sore throat.
Nearly 50 years later, Ms. Dailey was back in the hospital for surgery, but this time to address a much more urgent and potentially disabling condition related to complications from the original operation.

"Over the last year, I experienced increasingly severe neck pain, had difficulty keeping my balance while walking, and I started to drop things," said Mrs. Dailey, a 58-year-old homemaker from Amityville, NY. Suspecting a complex neurological problem, Mrs. Dailey's endocrinologist, Daniel Lorber, MD, referred her to Mark Eisenberg, MD, chief of neurosurgery at LIJ Medical Center, and B. Todd Schaeffer, MD, associate chairman of otolaryngology and communicative disorders at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH).

After a thorough evaluation, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, Drs. Eisenberg and Schaeffer determined that Mrs. Dailey was in need of a delicate, highly specialized surgery to remove a tooth-shaped bone called the odontoid located at the top of the cervical spine. Due to settling of her skull onto the top of her spine, the bone (odontoid) was pressing into the brainstem at the base of the skull and causing her symptoms. The imaging scans revealed that the problem stemmed most likely from an old, healed fracture from the tonsillectomy performed on her during the 1950s.

Merck and fluoride
EXCERPT:
Fluoride
In the body, most fluoride is contained in bones and teeth. Fluoride is necessary for the formation and health of bones and teeth.

Fluoride Deficiency

Fluoride deficiency can lead to tooth decay and possibly osteoporosis. Consuming enough fluoride can prevent tooth decay and may strengthen bones. The addition of fluoride (fluoridation) to drinking water that is low in fluoride or the use of fluoride supplements significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. In areas where drinking water is not fluoridated, children may be given fluoride by mouth.

Fluoride Excess

People who live in areas where the drinking water has a naturally high fluoride level may consume too much fluoride—causing a condition called fluorosis. Fluoride accumulates in teeth, particularly permanent teeth. Chalky white, irregular patches appear on the surface of the tooth enamel. The patches become stained yellow or brown, causing the enamel to appear mottled. The teeth may also become pitted. These defects appear to affect appearance only and may even make the enamel more resistant to cavities. Fluoride also accumulates in bones. Rarely, consuming too much fluoride for a long time results in dense but weak bones, abnormal bone growths (spurs) on the spine, and crippling due to calcium accumulation (calcification) in ligaments.

The diagnosis is based on symptoms.

Treatment involves reducing fluoride consumption. For example, if people live in areas with high fluoride levels in the water, they should not drink fluoridated water or take fluoride supplements. Children should always be instructed not to swallow fluoridated toothpaste.
