Teflon accusation doesn’t stick

Michael Fumento

July 21, 2005

Teflon has long been a godsend in the kitchen. It’s easier to cook with, since foods don’t stick. It’s easier to wash – and easier on the environment – since it requires less detergent and no dishwasher energy. And it’s easier on the heart and the waistline, since it eliminates the need for cooking in lots of oil, butter or margarine.

Yet Teflon has recently gone from the frying pan into the fire, thanks to some money-hungry lawyers. They’ve cooked up a scary story, adding a dollop of hyperbole for good measure. Unfortunately, they left out common sense and science.

For the rest go to – http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GuestColumns/Fumento20050721.shtml

Is there a common thread? I believe there is. lets look at some of the things this site is watching.

Bacol, Fen Phen, Prozac, Paxil, PFOA, – what do they have in common?

Fluoride

Everything you have ever known or heard about Fluoride is false.

Fluoridated water is the biggest scam ever pulled on the WORLD and is

killing and sickining people everywhere..

I have been sick since 97 My symptoms did not start all at once but

became progressivly worse until the present.

Symptoms:

blurry vision – on and off not continously. got new glasses just

before I went for last MRI reading. Also looked for ICP by looking at

optic disc.

leg pains – hip, shoulder joints – I can’t cross my legs – feels like

my joints are coming apart

muscle cramps and charley horses in calfs and arch of feet

mental confusion -short term memory – seems I really have to work at

remembering daily stuff

Headaches ( frontal)_ worse as day goes on

dizziness, like an airpane ride , disconnected , sometimes feels like

I am 3 feet off the ground or I am sitting sideways up on the wall -

no spinning vertigo

Brain fog – I suspect this is what alhzimers must feel like

tinnitus,-

otolaringologist says I have low frequency hearing loss

irritability – lashing out at family for no apparent reason

lack of concentration

can’t sleep – up at 3-4 am and can’t get back to sleep

Need to lie down in the afternoon – exhausted – feels like I am in a

comotose state – at times I can hear what is happening around me but

I can’t respond

Getting fine tremmors in legs & eyelid

Dysphagia – throat feels swollen , hard to swallow at times – THROAT

GOES OPEN AND CLOSED -worse after exercise

cold hands & feet at times – cold all over at times

profuse sweating – sometimes I sweat like a pig for 15 min. after a

shower

No appitite – constant nausea – lots of bread & milk

muscle weakness & myalgic pain moving all the time

Lower back pain and neck pain comes and goes I don’t think itis

linked to exercise

hands and heels really hurt at times

electric like shocks in left leg ( thigh, sometimes in feet and toes)

worst ones happen while I am

lying on couch watching TV – doubled over in pain

Fatigue is increadible – last two hours and consider it a good day!

Gums bleed , had periodontal disease

bone loss in jaw,- according to periodontist and dentist

teeth feel loose, USED TO BE ABLE TO WIGGLE THEM WITH MY TONGUE ,

drooling at times

Soft stools all the time -almost diarrhea

Getting pins and needles on chest and back after a hot shower and hot

days and exercise – started after surgery i think

Itching on arms and waist especially after a hot shower but other

times too

Seems like all this happens after I eat!!! things get worse and also

after exercise

chest pain in ribs on right side, then on left side

Heels really hurt as do my “heels ” of my hands

longitudal ridges on finger/toe nails

History ( very brief- this is just the tip of the iceburg)

self diagnosed Chiari Malformation – my brains are swelling into my

spinal column – had decompression surgery in 2000 – symptoms

continued and worsened

self diagnosed Heavy metal poisoning – challenge test showed lead

mercury etc. – this was according to a holistic doctor and allopathic

doctors do not recognize these results. Chelated with DMSA – numbers

came down- still sick – then 10 weeks of EDTA IV thearpy – still sick.

Rhum. Doc diagnosis of Fibromyalgia – 6/02

self diagnosed Fluoride Poisoning – may 2002- one night I got sick

after dinner – and a couple of days later I thought back about what I

did different that nite – I drank three glasses of city water at that

meal instead of milk. Fluoride calcium seeks and makes it less toxic.

I did my own blind tests – I can pick out F water EVERY time – my

daughter can tell by my eyes if I have had 3 glasses of water!

I have confronted docs with this – Some look at me like I’m from

outer space, some belittle me, others just laugh.

My neurologist looked at me wide eyed and ordered serum and urine

fluoride tests. He never called me back. I went and got copies 3

weeks later and both were ELEVATED – my blood levels are 10x normal -

he has NOT dx me or schedualed another appmt.

Romhatoligist dx me with fibromyalgia and then I told her about

Fluoride – she doesn’t want to see me again!

I found Dr. Myra Preston PHD – of SIBER IMAGING who has a patented

method of dx CFIDS through QEEG. I did before and after tests

dirnking my city water and I think I now have proof that F causes

brain damage in humans and is one of the causes of these “mysterious

syndromes” CFS,FM,GWS, MCS etc.

I scanned the report and will send it to you in another private

email if you wish, as it is 8 pages long.

Please give feed back if you can. I am willing to take this document

to court and start the fight against Fluorodation. I think this could

be the straw that breaks the camels back.

TEST RESULTS FROM DR PRESTON

Mine are unusual as I did two tests because my fluoronated city water

was making me sick. First test after staying away from as much F as

possible for 2+ weeks – second test after drinking my city water for

24 hours.

Highlights:

tested positive for all four variables to be classified as CFIDS

patient on both tests

Impression: RGE’s QEEG prior to drinking water was abnormal. The

abnormalities are primarly in the ratios to total brain activation.

the prominence of slow wave activity is recorded in the delta and

theta frequencies. The lack of beta activity alsorepresents an

abnormal finding.

Following the exposure to water, RGE’s delta activity increased,

theta activity decreased… Performance on these tests declined

sharply from the pre-to post water drinking… total brain function

declined in the post-water drinking QEEG.

Conclusions: Extremely abnormal QEEG due to the diffuse delta and

theta activity and the lack of brain activation in the beta range in

the frontal and temporal regions. This pattern correlates with the

patients report of severe cognitive loss. Abnormalities such as these

correlate with the limbic system and immune dysfunction, the fatigue,

the cognitive problems. It is important to note that the pre-water

evaluationwas quite abnormal, confirming the chronicity of the

patients illiness. The post-water drinking decline correlates with

the patients history of fluoride poisoning. Exposure to this toxin

exacerbated the neurophysiological disruption. …

… RGE clearly exhibits diffuse brain dysfunction, which typically

results from a widespread condition such as a metabolic disease

including heavy metal poisoning. This indicates a neurotoxic

poisoning. Fluoride is a neurotoxin that acts on postsynaptic

receptors. This neurotoxic condition correlates with the disrupted

brain physiology and the secondary development od Chronic Fatigue

Immune Dysfinction and Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

Too bad there isn’t a lawyer willing to come out from under his desk and take on this problem. I have been declined by all of them including Massery Viteo Brockovitch, Geofery Feiger and many more.

I have about 20 other people who know that fluoride is poisoning them also at my site.

Any attorneys willing to come over to my group and talk?
