Pforced pfarmaceuticals

Should government *make* you take your medicine?

Ha ha, made you look! No, this isn’t actually about Pfizer nor their pfeaux pfysic, though the government scrabbling to shove the shot in every arm does point to the pertinence of the problem. The rise of Covid and the rush to develop a “vaccine” revealed a very disturbing dimension of our government. There are many who view themselves not as public servants but as dictators. This really should not have come as a surprise to anyone, but something most overlook is the extent to which government allows or even forces citizens to inhale, ingest, inject, or in any way intake chemical concoctions or medicinals.

The push to get the Covid jab in every arm was disconcerting, to say the least, especially since there was 1) no evidence the virus was so dangerous as to warrant a rushed pharmaceutical solution; 2) there was no evidence that the shots were either safe or effective (contrary to the media and medical establishment mantra). The government certainly pushed the limits of what is Constitutional, but this was almost child’s play compared to what is being done to you on a daily basis.

If you drink tap water, the government is daily medicating you with or without your consent. Beginning in Michigan in 1945, the government began fluoridating water. Whenever you take a sip from the tap, you are ingesting fluoride. While many argue this is good for your teeth, and that is the purported purpose for adding fluoride to the water supply, people are starting to question (rightly) whether this actually is a good thing.

It all began with studies of the effects of fluoride on dental health, and is touted by the CDC as the cause for “the large decline in cavities in the United States since the 1960s,” but many studies show otherwise. For instance, an article in the Spring 2016 edition of Harvard Public Health, the magazine of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, provides evidence that countries which don’t fluoridate saw similarly large drops in rates of cavities over the same time period. They provide two graphs for comparison:

Left: Countries with fluoridated water. Right: Countries without fluoridated water.

Far more countries choose not to fluoridate than those who do, and the rate of decline in cavities is similar between them.

The CDC will tell you that fluoride, a naturally occurring ion of the element fluorine (number 9 on the periodic table) also naturally occurs in water - this also is true (it is even found naturally occurring in some foods). That said, this is natural fluoride. The problem isn’t necessarily fluoride itself, it is the type of fluoride that is added to water by the government. According to the CDC, the three types of fluoride additives are fluorosilicic acid, sodium fluorosilicate, and sodium fluoride. These are not naturally occurring analogs of fluoride. As a matter of fact, all of these carry pretty serious warnings from many agencies. Aside from pubchem and NOAA, the state of New Jersey has very good documentation of these chemicals here, here, and here respectively.

All three water fluoridation additives carry some serious adverse health effect warnings including cancer, reproductive harm, and harm to unborn babies. This is no surprise as these are toxic industrial chemicals, not naturally occurring fluoride. Consider that instructions for toothpaste containing sodium fluoride warn that only a pea-sized amount should be used, and that the tubes in which they are packaged bear warnings to avoid ingestion. Yet the government sees fit to pour enough of these compounds into your drinking water to, allegedly, aid with dental health for the entire community.

How much are you ingesting? How much is too much? Do you have any way of determining an appropriate dosage or an actual dosage? Worse, until recently, fluoride was not easy to filter from your water, requiring rather expensive reverse osmosis filtration systems. Now, filters incorporating bone char (burnt animal bones) are also capable of removing much of the fluoride present in water. What does that tell you? Fluoride gets absorbed by bones. Know what happens if bones get too much? A condition called fluorosis.

You may know people with white stains on their teeth. This too is fluorosis caused by ingestion of too much fluoride (it is a form of toxicity) while teeth are developing. Turning again to Harvard Public Health, there is a tolerable upper level or maximum daily intake of fluoride, after which, adverse health effects are likely to ensue. Depending on the level of intake, fluoride toxicity can present with symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, joint pain, and bone loss caused by skeletal fluorosis (from chronically excessive intake). Again I ask, how do you measure your intake if you are drinking treated tap water?

Something else many people don’t know is that fluoride displaces iodine in the body. Iodine is essential for proper thyroid function. If fluoride displaces iodine in the thyroid, what might you think would be the result? At the very least, one can expect it to interfere with proper metabolic function (perhaps one of the causes for the rising rate of obesity in America?). A 2014 study by several Indian doctors noted a potential causation between children drinking fluoridated water and iodine deficiency, thyroid hormone level “derangements”, and fluorosis. Their conclusion was to question the validity (as I do) of public health authorities adding fluoride to drinking water and that there is evidence such ingestion leads to thyroid disease.

There are other chemicals to which government exposes us, generally without our consent, and the question is, why? Why do we allow government to expose us to the potential harm involved with these chemicals? Where do they believe they get the authority to make health-impacting medical decisions for the general population? They are not doctors and we are not their patients. We should not allow them to interfere in any was in this area of our lives. Health decisions are individual and personal - the government has no business imposing any medical intervention on anyone. It is just more government involvement where it doesn’t belong, and it needs to stop.
