Thank you for your decades of work and activism, Carol. I remember, with deep regret, dutifully giving my babies, through age 2 (if I remember correctly), 2 fluoride drops every day, since our city did not fluoridate the water. This was prescribed by the pediatrician, right along with the poison-and-toxin-laden vaccines.

The industry-promoted-and-funded lies that destroy our children’s health are inexcusable and reprehensible. Parents, question absolutely every bit of “advice” you are given by “experts” and “professionals”. Upon examination, you will discover that nearly all of it is about someone else’s wealth, not your child’s health.

Proof positive that "doctors" (and in my opinion 'evil dentists') are idiots, liars, and killers.

Fabulous interview!

I'll add that the toxicology rule of thumb is that AT LEAST and Uncertainty Factor (UF) of ten is applied between health risk and allowable limits, but that is a factor of ten. I believe that other than fluoride that has no UF, the lowest UF for an EPA regulated chemical is 30 and most chemicals have factors around 100 applied to them by the EPA in order to protect the most susceptible consumers and allow for different exposures.

Given the science, the ubiquitous nature of fluoride, and the effects on thyroids, kidneys, immunity, guts, brains and bones, the "goal" should be zero exposure, like for lead, and fluoridation should be banned!

Carol Kopf is the best! I have admired her since I met her at FAN conferences, and she has inspired me to keep slogging here in Toronto. I am one of the many Grand Rapids fluoridation experiment kids who got dumped from the studies that were supposed to monitor children born between 1945 and 1955 and continue until at least 1960. My mother benefited from one of Dr. Weston Price's subsidized programs in the 1920s providing nutrient-dense fresh food to pregnant women, infants and toddlers, and had perfect teeth because of that early intervention. Those of us conceived and raised on diluted scrubber waste fluoride have teeth that did not fare so well.

No man made chemical is safe for human consumption. The body does not require man made chemicals. They are found in everything...I think fluoride is used in some drugs also.

The goal of the controllers is to create a synthetic world. What better way to accomplish that than feeding us synthetic chemicals under the guise of 'fortification or fortified'.

Some good news: I volunteered with a local group on the Oregon coast, aided by FAN's Rick North, to pass a fluoride ban in our local drinking water. The issue passed with over 60% of the vote, and my small town is now fluoride-free!

The only way to know for sure would be to periodically test the water.

Fluoride is the lightest element among the halogens on the periodic table. As such, it possesses the greatest affinity for displacing iodine out of the body by comparison to any other halogen which is lighter than iodine. Since fluorine is not a vital nutrient, unlike chlorine composing the salt of our bloodstream, fluorine's need in human nutrition is dubious and our tolerance for it is debatable while (by comparison) iodine is necessary for raising IQs among other things. For, the World Health Organization has said, that "the easiest way to fight cretinism (mental retardation in children) in Third World countries is with iodine supplementation". After reading, online, the research of Dr. David Brownstein regarding what impact supplementing our intake of iodine beyond the conventional recommendations of our governmental agencies can have on everyone's physiologies, I considered the possibility that if iodine supplementation could help prevent mental retardation in children, then what about adults who do not suffer from this nutritional deficit? Would it make us "normal" people any smarter? The answer is, yes, it can. Within three years of elevating my ingestion of iodine to at least a thousand times greater than the minimum RDA for iodine, I was delivered compliments on YouTube of how smart I was. Meanwhile, I had formed the opinion that I was surrounded by people of the opposite persuasion. There's no other way of describing my experience with iodine other than to say that I take it in excess of standard norms due to a birth defect: I was gestated by an alcoholic causing my prenatal development to be less than optimal. My brain turned out fine, but other vital organs did not since they're under-developed -- especially my liver and adrenals and immune and digestive systems. So, I take iodine whenever my liver needs a boost in dealing with the toxic consequences of my digestive system failing to completely digest my food. And this helps me a lot. The IQ effect is a pleasant surprise.

I recently told a doctor that is treating my macular degeneration, that poison is poison. No amount of fluoride is safe in drinking water, yet our water is fluoridated, is it not. He had no answer, just looked at me with a face that said, why bother.

Avastin is a chemo drug injected into the eye. Of course I investigated the drug and found serious side effects associated with every fluid used today for eye injections. Side effects that are now showing up in me that he has brushed aside due to the minuscule amount.injected into the eye compared to cancer treatment dosage. Sounds familiar, does it not?.

Another one bites the dust. Sitting in a waiting room packed to the gills, standing room only, old folks like me awaiting torture that cures nothing, yet blood clots, strokes and heart attacks are waiting in the wings, but who will think it was the eye shots, no one, is too big a risk for me. I'v had only 4 shots. Not going back. Time to refill my reverse osmosis Berkey. Good read, thanks.

If you want to live a long, healthy life, avoid doctors like the plague. The hospital is where people go to die. Don't let them cut on you.

Have you researched DMSO for your eyes😊

CM Maccioli's avatar

Absolutely. But here's the thing. I had cataract surgery. It collapsed in a year Once you've done that, DMSO will not work. So, I'm screwed. I know 2 people who did Lasik a decade ago who still see fine. I was told I needed cataract surgery and believed them. I am now convinced CS is a dead end that leads to worse problems that captures you into their lies that only these shots will stave off future blindness

Thanks for this. Parts of the UK have fluoridated water. Happily where we are in the South West does not

Janice's avatar

I see. So so far it’s been dmso surgery and shots ?
