Fluoridation: A Violation of Medical Ethics and Human Rights
DOUGLAS W. CROSS, ROBERT J. CARTON, PHD

Abstract: Silicofluorides, widely used in water fluoridation, are
unlicensed medicinal substances, administered to large populations
without informed consent or supervision by a qualified medical
practitioner.

Fluoridation fails the test of reliability and specificity, and, lacking
toxicity testing of silicofluorides, constitutes unlawful medical
research.

It is banned in most of Europe; European Union human rights legislation
makes it illegal.

Silicofluorides have never been submitted to the U.S. FDA for approval
as medicines.

The ethical validity of fluoridation policy does not stand up to
scrutiny relative to the Nuremberg Code and other codes of medical
ethics, including the Council of Europe’s Biomedical Convention of
1999.

The police power of the State has been used in the United States to
override health concerns, with the support of the courts, which have
given deference to health authorities.

Key words: fluoridation; fluoride; silicofluorides; medical ethics;
human rights.

formaldehyde & formic acid from methanol in aspartame:
Murray: 12.9.2 rmforall

It is certain that high levels of aspartame use, above 2 liters daily
for months and years, must lead to chronic formaldehyde-formic acid
toxicity, since 11% of aspartame (1,120 mg in 2L diet soda, 5.6 12-oz
cans) is 123 mg methanol (wood alcohol), immediately released into the
body after drinking (unlike the large levels of methanol locked up in
molecules inside many fruits), then quickly transformed into
formaldehyde, which in turn becomes formic acid, both of which in
time become carbon dioxide and water-- however, about 30% of the
methanol remains in the body as cumulative durable toxic metabolites of
formaldehyde and formic acid-- 37 mg daily, a gram every month.
If 10% of the methanol is retained as formaldehyde, that would give 12
mg daily formaldehyde accumulation, about 60 times more than the 0.2 mg
from 10% retention of the 2 mg EPA daily limit for formaldehyde in
drinking water.

Bear in mind that the EPA limit for formaldehyde in
drinking water is 1 ppm,
or 2 mg daily for a typical daily consumption of 2 L of water.

This long-term low-level chronic toxic exposure leads to typical
patterns of increasingly severe complex symptoms, starting with
headache, fatigue, joint pain, irritability, memory loss, and
leading to vision and eye problems and even seizures. In many cases
there is addiction. Probably there are immune system disorders, with a
hypersensitivity to these toxins and other chemicals.
