The Effects Of Fluoride
On The Thyroid Gland
By Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield
MBBS LRCP MRCS
Medical Advisor to Thyroid UK
9-22-5
There is a daunting amount of research studies showing that the widely
acclaimed benefits on fluoride dental health are more imagined than
real. My main concern however, is the effect of sustained fluoride
intake on general health. Again, there is a huge body of research
literature on this subject, freely available and in the public domain.
But this body of work was not considered by the York Review when their
remit was changed from "Studies of the effects of fluoride on health"
to "Studies on the effects of fluoridated water on health." It is
clearly evident that it was not considered by the BMA (Britsh Medical
Association), British Dental Association (BDA), BFS (British
Fluoridation Society) and FPHM, (Faculty for Public Health and
Medicine) since they all insist, as in the briefing paper to Members of
Parliament - that fluoridation is safe and non-injurious to health.
This is a public disgrace, I will now show by reviewing the damaging
effects of fluoridation, with special reference to thyroid illness.
It has been known since the latter part of the 19th century that
certain communities, notably in Argentina, India and Turkey were
chronically ill, with premature ageing, arthritis, mental retardation,
and infertility; and high levels of natural fluorides in the water were
responsible. Not only was it clear that the fluoride was having a
general effect on the health of the community, but in the early 1920s
Goldemberg, working in Argentina showed that fluoride was displacing
iodine; thus compounding the damage and rendering the community also
hypothyroid from iodine deficiency.
Highly Damaging To The Thyroid Gland
This was the basis of the research in the 1930s of May, Litzka,
Gorlitzer von Mundy, who used fluoride preparations to treat
over-active thyroid illness. Their patients either drank fluoridated
water, swallowed fluoride pills or were bathed in fluoridated bath
water; and their thyroid function was as a result, greatly depressed.
The use in 1937 of fluorotyrosine for this purpose showed how effective
this treatment was; but the effectiveness was difficult to predict and
many patients suffered total thyroid loss. So it was given a new role
and received a new name, Pardinon. It was marketed not for over-active
thyroid disease but as a pesticide. (Note the manufacturer of
fluorotyrosine was IG Farben who also made sarin, a gas used in World
War II).
This bit of history illustrates the fact that fluorides are dangerous
in general and in particular highly damaging to the thyroid gland, a
matter to which I shall return shortly. While it is unlikely that it
will be disputed that fluorides are toxic - let us be reminded that
they are Schedule 2 Poisons under the Poisons Act 1972, the matter in
dispute is the level of toxicity attributable to given amounts; in
today's context the degree of damage caused by given concentrations in
the water supply. While admitting its toxicity, proponents rely on the
fact that it is diluted and therefore, it is claimed, unlikely to have
deleterious effects.
They Could Not Be More Mistaken
It seems to me that we must be aware of how fluoride does its damage.
It is an enzyme poison. Enzymes are complex protein compounds that
vastly speed up biological chemical reactions while themselves
remaining unchanged. As we speak, there occurs in all of us a vast
multitude of these reactions to maintain life and produce the energy to
sustain it. The chains of amino acids that make up these complex
proteins are linked by simple compounds called amides; and it is with
these that fluorine molecules react, splitting and distorting them,
thus damaging the enzymes and their activity. Let it be said at once,
this effect can occur at extraordinary low concentrations; even lower
than the one part per million which is the dilution proposed for
fluoridation in our water supply.
The Body Can Only Eliminate Half
Moreover, fluorides are cumulative and build up steadily with ingestion
of fluoride from all sources, which include not just water but the air
we breathe and the food we eat. The use of fluoride toothpaste in
dental hygiene and the coating of teeth are further sources of
substantial levels of fluoride intake. The body can only eliminate half
of the total intake, which means that the older you are the more
fluoride will have accumulated in your body. Inevitably this means the
ageing population is particularly targeted. And even worse for the very
young there is a major element of risk in baby formula made with
fluoridated water. The extreme sensitivity of the very young to
fluoride toxicity makes this unacceptable. Since there are so many
sources of fluoride in our everyday living, it will prove impossible to
maintain an average level of 1ppm as is suggested.
What Is The Result Of These Toxic Effects?
First the immune system. The distortion of protein structure causes the
immune proteins to fail to recognise body proteins, and so instigate an
attack on them, which is Autoimmune Disease. Autoimmune diseases
constitute a body of disease processes troubling many thousands of
people: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, Asthma and
Systemic Sclerosis are examples; but in my particular context today,
thyroid antibodies will be produced which will cause Thyroiditis
resulting in the common hypothyroid disease, Hashimoto's Disease and
the hyperthyroidism of Graves' Disease.
Musculo Skeletal damage results further from the enzyme toxic effect;
the collagen tissue of which muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones are
made, is damaged. Rheumatoid illness, osteoporosis and deformation of
bones inevitably follow. This toxic effect extends to the ameloblasts
making tooth enamel, which is consequently weakened and then made
brittle; and its visible appearance is, of course, dental fluorosis.
The enzyme poison effect extends to our genes; DNA cannot repair
itself, and chromosomes are damaged. Work at the university of Missouri
showed genital damage, targeting ovaries and testes. Also affected is
inter uterine growth and development of the foetus, especially the
nervous system. Increased incidence of Down's Syndrome has been
documented.
Fluorides are mutagenic. That is, they can cause the uncontrolled
proliferation of cells we call cancer. This applies to cancer anywhere
in the body; but bones are particularly picked out. The incidence of
osteosarcoma in a study reporting in 1991 showed an unbelievable 50%
increase. A report in 1955 in the New England Journal of Medicine
showed a 400% increase in cancer of the thyroid in San Francisco during
the period their water was fluoridated.
My Particular Concern Is The Effect Of Fluorides On The Thyroid Gland
Perhaps I may remind you about thyroid disease. The thyroid gland
produces hormones which control our metabolism - the rate at which we
burn our fuel. Deficiency is relatively common, much more than is
generally accepted by many medical authorities: a figure of 1:4 or 1:3
by mid life is more likely. The illness is insidious in its onset and
progression. People become tired, cold, overweight, depressed,
constipated; they suffer arthritis, hair loss, infertility,
atherosclerosis and chronic illness. Sadly, it is poorly diagnosed and
poorly managed by very many doctors in this country.
What concerns me so deeply is that in concentrations as low as 1ppm,
fluorides damage the thyroid system on 4 levels.
1. The enzyme manufacture of thyroid hormones within the thyroid gland
itself. The process by which iodine is attached to the amino acid
tyrosine and converted to the two significant thyroid hormones,
thyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3), is slowed.
2. The stimulation of certain G proteins from the toxic effect of
fluoride (whose function is to govern uptake of substances into each of
the cells of the body), has the effect of switching off the uptake into
the cell of the active thyroid hormone.
3. The thyroid control mechanism is compromised. The thyroid
stimulating hormone output from the pituitary gland is inhibited by
fluoride, thus reducing thyroid output of thyroid hormones.
4. Fluoride competes for the receptor sites on the thyroid gland which
respond to the thyroid stimulating hormone; so that less of this
hormone reaches the thyroid gland and so less thyroid hormone is
manufactured. These damaging effects, all of which occur with small
concentrations of fluoride, have obvious and easily identifiable
effects on thyroid status. The running down of thyroid hormone means a
slow slide into hypothyroidism. Already the incidence of hypothyroidism
is increasing as a result of other environmental toxins and pollutions
together with wide spread nutritional deficiencies.
141 Million Europeans Are At Risk
One further factor should give us deep anxiety. Professor Hume of
Dundee, in his paper given earlier this year to the Novartis
Foundation, pointed out that iodine deficiency is growing worldwide.
There are 141 million Europeans are at risk; only 5 European countries
are iodine sufficient. UK now falls into the marginal and focal
category. Professor Hume recently produced figures to show that 40% of
pregnant women in the Tayside region of Scotland were deficient by at
least half of the iodine required for a normal pregnancy. A relatively
high level of missing, decayed, filled teeth was noted in this
non-fluoridated area, suggesting that the iodine deficiency was causing
early hypothyroidism which interferes with the health of teeth. Dare
one speculate on the result of now fluoridating the water?...
Displaces Iodine In The Body
Do you think it should be marketed?
Fluoridation of the nation's water supply will do little for our dental
health; but will have catastrophic effects on our general health. We
cannot, must not, dare not, subject our nation to this appalling
risk....

| Yes, I tried to explain to that genius, Robert, that health and
"disease" are usually simple manifestations of being damaged by
electron stealing molecules. And this is why it is obvious that if you
pack your body with saturated fatty acids, which prevent excess
biochemical activity, and avoid sources of highly unsaturated oils, you
will elminate much of the "chronic disease" of today in "modern"
nations. You can also eat blueberries and dark chocolate, for example,
and not cook food that contains cholesterol while exposed to air.

Q: You say vegetable oils are hazardous to your health. What vegetable
oils are you talking about?
Mainly, I'm referring to soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, canola,
sesame oil, sunflower seed oil, palm oil, and any others that are
labeled as "unsaturated" or "polyunsaturated." Almond oil, which is
used in many cosmetics, is very unsaturated. Chemically, the material
that makes these oils very toxic is the polyunsaturated fat itself.
These unsaturated oils are found in very high concentrations in many
seeds, and in the fats of animals that have eaten a diet containing
them. The fresh oils, whether cold pressed or consumed as part of the
living plant material, are intrinsically toxic, and it is not any
special industrial treatment that makes them toxic.
Since these oils occur in other parts of plants at lower concentration,
and in the animals which eat the plants, it is impossible to eat a diet
which lacks them, unless special foods are prepared in the laboratory.
These toxic oils are sometimes called the "essential fatty acids" or
"vitamin F," but this concept of the oils as essential nutrients was
clearly disproved over 50 years ago. Linoleic and linolenic acids, the
"essential fatty acids," and other polyunsaturated fatty acids, which
are now fed to pigs to fatten them, in the form of corn and soy beans,
cause the animals' fat to be chemically equivalent to vegetable oil.
In the late 1940s, chemical toxins were used to suppress the thyroid
function of pigs, to make them get fatter while consuming less food.
When that was found to be carcinogenic, it was then found that corn and
soy beans had the same antithyroid effect, causing the animals to be
fattened at low cost. The animals' fat becomes chemically similar to
the fats in their food, causing it to be equally toxic, and equally
fattening. These oils are derived from seeds, but their abundance in
some meat has led to a lot of confusion about "animal fats." Many
researchers still refer to lard as a "saturated fat," but this is
simply incorrect when pigs are fed soybeans and corn.
Q: How are these oils hazardous to your health?
Ultimately, all systems of the body are harmed by an excess of these
oils. There are two reasons for this. One is that the plants produce
the oils for protection, not only to store energy for the germination
of the seed. To defend the seeds from the animals that would eat them,
the oils block the digestive enzymes in the animals' stomachs.
Digestion is one of our most basic functions, and evolution has built
many other systems by using variations of that system; as a result, all
of these systems are damaged by the substances which damage the
digestive system. The other reason is that the seeds are designed to
germinate in early spring, so their energy stores must be accessible
when the temperatures are cool, and they normally don't have to remain
viable through the hot summer months. Unsaturated oils are liquid when
they are cold, and this is necessary for any organism that lives at low
temperatures. For example, fish in cold water would be stiff if they
contained saturated fats. These oils easily get rancid (spontaneously
oxidizing) when they are warm and exposed to oxygen. Seeds contain a
small amount of vitamin E to delay rancidity. When the oils are stored
in our tissues, they are much warmer, and more directly exposed to
oxygen, than they would be in the seeds, and so their tendency to
oxidize is very great. These oxidative processes can damage enzymes and
other parts of cells, and especially their ability to produce energy.
The enzymes which break down proteins are inhibited by unsaturated
fats, and these enzymes are needed not only for digestion, but also for
production of thyroid hormones, clot removal, immunity, and the general
adaptability of cells. The risks of abnormal blood clotting,
inflammation, immune deficiency, shock, aging, obesity, and cancer are
increased. Thyroid and progesterone are decreased. Since the
unsaturated oils block protein digestion in the stomach, we can be
malnourished even while "eating well."
Plants produce many protective substances to repel or injure insects
and other animals that eat them. They produce their own pesticides. The
oils in seeds have this function. On top of this natural toxicity, the
plants are sprayed with industrial pesticides, which can concentrate in
the seed oils. It isn't the quantity of these polyunsaturated oils
which governs the harm they do, but the relationship between them and
the saturated fats. Obesity, free radical production, the formation of
age pigment, blood clotting, inflammation, immunity, and energy
production are all responsive to the ratio of unsaturated fats to
saturated fats, and the higher this ratio is, the greater the
probability of harm there is.
There are interesting interactions between these oils and estrogen. For
example, puberty occurs at an earlier age if estrogen is high, or if
these oils are more abundant in the diet. This is probably a factor in
the development of cancer. All systems of the body are harmed by an
excess of these oils. There are three main kinds of damage: one,
hormonal imbalances, two, damage to the immune system, and three,
oxidative damage.

Does the body not make oils ?!!! Can i make cholesterol* from cane
sugar and other
stores in my body ?!!!!
* you die quickly with no Chol' .
I can eat fats and oils , no problem but they don't make energy so
i don't natuarlly crave them .
I eat sugar and bread Vit C every 10 days as it is not toxic .
Disease is not from missing Vitamins nor 3 glasses of milk a day nor
oxidants !
But Nitrous acid is a poison . It has been linked to Nitrousamines .
Nutrasweet . and molds in Chineese corn cakes !
---------------------------------------------------------
but in the early 1920s
Goldemberg, working in Argentina showed that fluoride was displacing

hypothyroid from iodine deficiency.
I don't like the over doing of IODINE also . I look for non-iodized
salt .
I'm 61 170lbs and i eat lots of salt ( w/ my peanuts and beer ).
I also fast when sick or every month which ever comes first .
I am a student of food medicine and health.

I have a whole family of thyroid patients, myself and 3 daughters. A son
was beginning to elevate TSH. I'd like to blame local chemicals but sure
don't have the money to go about proving it. I was thyroid healthy till
shortly after moving from a non-fluoridated hard-water town to this

Then use someone else's money. All it takes is numbers; as in enough
people. Of course money, or withholding it; as in taxes, and physical
threat, can greatly help.

Forget the water, look at the food you're eating!
900 parts per million of fluoride in dried eggs; as in many fast foods
and prepackaged products!!!
http://www.ems.org/nws/2005/09/21/environmental_gr
The challenge was directed at the maximum legal limits for the
fluoride-based pesticide in foods, which have been set at levels that
dwarf the amount allowed in tap water. In just one case, the EPA is
allowing 900 parts per million of fluoride in dried eggs, as opposed to
the maximum 4 ppm allowed in tap water. One third of the nation's
eggs are sold and consumed in dried, reconstituted form.

EPA union call for investigation.
As for food, I know it's loaded with the stuff. We gave up grape juice/jam
long ago, that was the first thing I knew about that was high in fluoride.
I grow my own grapes now. Also gave up commercial potatoes long ago, we
grow those too without cryolite! :-) Gave up tea. Use fluoride-free
toothpaste, and few processed foods. But there's no avoiding the poison
because we do have to eat and unfortunately self-sufficiency is unrealistic.
Produce here is probably laced with all kinds of horrific things. They
douse the fields with allegedly "clean" sewage product (they won't call it
sludge). And some of the industry around here (kraft paper mill, titanium
production) is probably contributing a great deal of filth.
I'm curious. How did you take an interest in this subject? I've followed
it since my dad started fighting it back in the days of Dr. Strangelove and
Communist Plot accusations (the early 1960s).
Are there groups of people banding together to give strength to a "poisoned
by fluoride" movement?

"Farmers noticed it first... Something mysterious burned the peppers,
burned the fruit, dwarfed and shriveled the grains, damaged everything
that grew. Something in the air destroyed the crops. Anyone could see
it... They noticed it first in 1961. Again in '62. Worse each year.
Plants that didn't burn, were dwarfed. Grain yields cut in
half...Finally, a greater disaster revealed the source of the trouble.
A plume from a silver stack, once the symbol of Dunville's progress,
spreading for miles around poison - fluorine. It was identified by
veterinarians. There was no doubt. What happened to the cattle was
unmistakable, and it broke the farmer's hearts. Fluorosis - swollen
joints, falling teeth, pain until cattle lie down and die. Hundreds of
them. The cause - fluorine poisoning from the air."

No doubt a form of "MAD COW DISEASE".

11) Commercial Uranium Production (back to top)
While the presence of uranium decay-products makes gypsum a tough sell
for the phosphate industry, the uranium has, at various times,
presented the industry with a business opportunity of its own.
One of the lesser-known-facts about the phosphate industry is that its
processing facilities have produced and sold sizeable quantities of
uranium.
In 1997, just two phosphate plants in Louisiana produced 950,000 pounds
of commercial uranium, which amounted to roughly 16% of the
domestically produced uranium in the US.
In 1998, the same two plants produced another 950,000 pounds, but due
to declining market prices for uranium, both plants have since ceased
production.
If market prices improve, however, 4 US phosphate plants (2 in
Louisiana & 2 in Florida) would have the capacity to produce a combined
2.75 million pounds of uranium per year, according to the Department of
Energy (DOE). The DOE has termed these 4 facilities "Nonconventional
Uranium Plants."

This might be stretch, but do you think this has anything to do with
Katrina? Note that Florida is in the mix. Wouldn't 2.75 million
pounds of uranium be very valuable in the right hands. Well we are
giving it to the Arabs; they just have to separate it from the sand.
Funny how it all ties together though. Well maybe? This is an
investigative job for Alex Jones!

Here is another quote from that same site:
Q: What if I eat only organically grown vegetable oils?

Heart disease can be produced by unsaturated oils, and prevented
by adding saturated oils to the diet. [J. K. G. Kramer, et al., Lipids
17, 372, 1983.]
JK Kramer didn't publish anything in Lipids in 1983. (I
looked it up on www.pubmed.com) In PubMed I did
find a few articles from Kramer in 1982. He was looking
at heart lesions in lab rats, not at coronary artery disease
in humans. Thus that statement in the quote is very misleading.
