The Fluoride Deception

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I’m not referring to the book located here, but I am referring to the deception that has taken place in the name of fluoride.  What is fluoride?  It is a poison.  I just listened to a lecture by a dentist who used to think fluoride was a good thing and that fluoridated water was something that benefitted humans as a whole.  After some time, he started to wonder why one should call the poison control center if one swallows a pea-sized amount of toothpaste, so he got curious and found out that besides mercury, fluoride is one of the most toxic substances on Earth. So why is it in our water supply?

The story goes something like this:  Many toxic waste comes in the form of fluoride ions that are so corrosive they are almost impossible to dispose of , not to mention very costly.  So the people who had this fluoride lying around and did not want to pay to dispose of it devised a way to unleash it on the general public to devastating effects.  Here is a website that can explain most of the horrific consequences of fluoride:  Fluoride Alert.

At first dentists were against fluoride, but after awhile something happened that got most dentists on its side.  It had something to do with government funding where if a dentist denied that fluoride was beneficial, they would lose funding and no longer be a part of the AMA or ADA.  It is criminal to release such a toxin on our bodies without any scientific evidence that ingesting fluoride helps tooth decay.  In fact, studies show that fluoride, when swallowed, leads to dental and skeletal fluorosis, which is a weakening of the bones.  Fluoride also has numerous mental and intellectual effects.  Various studies have shown that regions who have their water fluoridated have a higher concentration of mentally retarded and intellectually slow people.

I’ve known about the toxic nature of fluoride for some time, but I’ve never written about it extensively, nor have I stopped using fluoridated toothpaste…until today.  I just bought some great toothpaste from Tom’s of Maine that is non-fluoridated and tastes much better and does not have any sweeteners other than xylitol, which we all know is great for tooth decay.  The Nazis used fluoridated water in the concentration camps to make their captors docile and non-agressive.  It is one of the main ingredients in the antidepressant Paxil.  Fluoride is not even FDA approved.  Yet we all ingest it in some form on a daily basis.  Disgusting, horrific, ciminal.

It serves as a means for control of the ruling class.  The only reason fluoride even prevents cavities is because it poisons the bacteria in your mouth to death, not to mention your cells.  Something this toxic should never be ingested by anyone.  But every day, 99% of the population uses it in one form or another.  I just want people to know the truth about fluoride.  It is a way for big business to make money off of their toxic waste at the detriment to the public’s health and to give the government the authority to knowingly poison us through the public water supply.  Europe doesn’t fluoridate their water.  From what I understand, most of Canada does not either.  Do they suffer more cavities?  No.  They don’t.

We are told from a young age that fluoride is safe and is good for us.  I remember getting fluoride treatments as a child.  If I had only known what it was that was on my teeth, I could have put a stop to it.  But at leat now I know the truth and can take steps to not have fluoride in my diet ever again.  I have checked with our spirng water supplier to see if they fluoridate the water and they told me no.  I now use special toothpaste.  Now all I need is a shower filter to prevent myself from inhaling the toxic ion while I take a shower.

At least my toothpaste doesn’t have a Poison Control Center warning on it now.  Makes me sleep better at night.

Edit: For another great expose on fluoride, here’s Steve Pavlina’s post called What’s the Deal With Fluoride?

The Swine Flu and a Post-Crash Society

Monday, April 27th, 2009

There is a swine flu outbreak somewhere in Mexico or something and like 20 people in the US have gotten it.  The media has blown this out of proportion because it’s only hospitalized one person in the US so far, and yet there’s already a concern.  The flu pandemic of 1918 killed 40-50 million people.  How many people has this swine flu actually killed worldwide?  Sure, I’m all for an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  So it’s good that we are aware of this rare and interesting new flu, but the fear tactics being used to a relatively harmless flu, at least in America so far is kind of grandiose and exaggerated.  I don’t know anything about the science of how a person can get a flu from a pig, but I’m sure it’s possible.  The flu these days hardly ever kills anyone.  It’s only when the flu is allowed to progress to pnemonia that it kills some elderly and very young children.  We have the technology to cure and prevent a flue outbreak and living in this society has made our immune systems strong because of all the pollution we are subjected to from a very early age.  Sure, this is a new strain we’ve never seen before, but we have the ability to treat it and beat it.  So what’s the big deal?

With our current medical system, poorer people won’t be inclined to go to the hospital or the doctor for these kinds of ailments, which will allow the swine flu to spread among them.  They don’t have insurance to go to the hospital or emergency room, so they’re more inclined to just lie in bed and fight it out.  This is something our body is capable of, so there’s no harm, no foul.  But it will allow the flu to spread to others.  It’s not like the flu is really that bad, though.  It’s relatively benign compared to other diseases and viruses, so I really don’t see the problem.

Viruses are nature’s way of weeding out a population.  But the flu has been conquered years ago by modern science.  I’m tired of all these scare tactics used by the media, trying to put the general public into a panic just to keep the world in a state of perpetual fear.  I would understand if the flu had killed millions of people, but it is not even close to being a big deal yet.  SARS killed less than 300 people as far as I know.  150,000 people die a day on average.  More people die from our toxic environment each day than will die from some swine flu.  I don’t see anything as a pandemic until it can actually put a dent in our population worldwide.  It’s got to at least cut out 1% of our population to actually be considered a threat.  And even then it’s not really a bad thing from the Earth’s perspective.

The Earth is going to try and fight back.  This comes from the Gaia hypothesis that the Earth is a living thing and will fight back against us as a pesky species that is ruining it.  But we are always one step ahead of all the viruses it can conjure up.  We even have a way to treat AIDS now, which was a surefire way to reduce our population and cause a definite pandemic.  A virus is always contained before it can do much damage.  The Earth’s population control mechanisms are no match for us humans because we’ve outsmarted the Earth.  We use the Earth against itself even when it is trying to exterminate part of us.  This is what has led to a  population explosion.

A population explosion leads to pandemics that are easily cured by our advances in technology.  It is yet another cause of the gigantic numbers of people we have living ont his planet.  If it weren’t for all these medical advances, many of the people alive today and even going a couple generations back, would be dead.  It would probably have cut our population in half or even by 2/3.  In the uncivilized world, people in these nature-based tribes hardly ever get out of balance, and if they do, they are brought back into balance by the forces of nature.  It’s like a bowl, where the center is perfect balance and the further you try and stray from the center, the harder it is.  But that’s when humans were servants of nature, not dominating it.  Now that we dominate nature, we can go as far out of balance as we wish until we run out of all the things that allow us to go out of balance.  And that’s what’s going to happen.  Once we have nothing left to fight over, there will be a post-crash nature-based society because there will be no alternative.

What matters is what happens next is important because we can take many roads.  We can keep living like nature and all other species, or we can once again rebuild this pandemic-creating society with nearly 7 billion people and counting, with malls and strip clubs.  In order to make that choice wisely, we’ll need to be operating from a consciousness much higher than the one we have now.  The materialistic consciousness needs to go away.  The domination consciousness needs to fade.  The agricultural-industrial complex needs to be gone completely.  Man the toolmaker needs to check out of the world’s hotel.  We should become land dolphins.

But what are land dolphins?  Land dolphins would be a highly intelligent species that uses no tools and feeds of the bounty of the Earth.  We would have to greatly lower our population, but a crash would do that anyway.  But if we can become stewards of the Earth and not dictators of it, we will learn to live and love the place we’re in and be able to sustain it for millions, possibly billions of years.  The human race towards progress and neverending innovations is going to come to a halt at some point.  It’s just common sense.  It’s what we do afterwards that’s most important.  I don’t feel like everyone’s going to wake up one day and stop this society, so there will be a crash.  I just hope the people who survive that crash know what they’re doing so that this population explosion and hellish world doesn’t come back into existence.  It would seem rather pointless to not learn anything from this society, to just keep crashing and burning for all eternity.  We’re in this crazy world to learn something, that this world we’ve created is wrong.  I just hope the message gets through.

Eating Whole Foods for Health

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Eating whole and unprocessed foods brings us closer to the Earth and closer to nature.  It’s also wonderful for our health.  A whole foods diet can cure almost any ailment, although not officially because I don’t want the FDA knocking down my door saying, “Are you crazy?  Only a drug can cure an illness!”  Now that I have a high quality industrial speed blender, it makes it so easy to consume whole foods without having to spend all that time chewing it.  I’m trying to work my way up to eating 90% whole foods and then go from there and see what happens.  These are the foods that sustained us as a species for hundreds of thousands of years, so why not you?  A diet high in vegetables and fruits is a great way to get yourself down to an ideal weight or even cure some of your annoying ailments created by this toxic society.

99.5% of people in my region eat mostly processed foods.  I would say about 75% or more percent eat all processed foods and nothing else.  It’s no wonder the obesity epidemic is striking everywhere we look.  People are eating too much fake food and not enough real food.  Sure, the food in those packages is convenient, but at what cost?  How many diseases could be prevented if we all ate a whole foods diet?  I would be willing to bet at least 70-90%.  But when will this happen?  Never.  People have all these logos and brands etched into their brains from the television or from billboards and love to chow down on food that isn’t even nourishing them, other than keeping them from starving to death.  Nabisco is what these people want.  They want Kraft and McDonald’s.  If it doesn’t have a brand name, they don’t want to eat it.  You don’t see too many advertisements for fruits and vegetables.

There’s a good reason why you never see any healthy food commercials.  Their budget is 1/100 or less of that than just one of these gigantic food conglomerates.  When was the last time you saw one of those 5-a-day commercials?  10 years ago?  Perhaps longer?  They don’t have the money to fund healthful food awareness.  But Pepsi’s there to step in and give a giant ad about how their new diet soda has more caffeine and more aspartame, but it mentions nothing of its value once inside the body.  It’s because it has no nutritional value, other than to make you fat through either aspartame or high fructose corn syrup in the regular sodas.  It’s no secret that the government wants those below them to be docile and unhealthy so that when they extend their power, the people in the lower classes will be too weak and unhealthy to truly fight back.  Yet another way to keep the human race controlled under central authority.

Who would have thought that eating whole foods was political?  Well, it is.  If the government had half a soul, it would allow the fruits and vegetables brigade to have more in their budget to show people what a truly healthy diet looks like.  But, like much information about other things, this information is suppressed so that giant corporations can make giant profits off  of food that tastes good, but will not give anyone even a smidgeon of nutrition.  Just Uncle Sam’s way of saying how much he cares about you.  So just shut up and eat your white flour, white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, sucralose, MSG, soy letichin, evaporated cane juice, and enriched bleached partially hyrdrogenated oils with a twist of fluoride.

While most processed food has little if no nutritional value, it does taste pretty good, doesn’t it?  Krispy Kreme doughnuts beat a salad any day.  But at what cost?  You are supporting corporate America by consuming all these processed foods that have name brands, marketing divisions, and cool characters that get your kids to want to eat them too.  Of course our government knows what’s best for us by allowing these satanic foods to be advertised 1000-1 when it comes to air space in comparison with fruit/vegetable campaigns.  They want you to eat that processed, genetically modified crap because it will make you sick and feed the medical industrial complex that pretty much runs our country.

How many drugs are advertised on television every hour?  In America, that is.  It’s our government making us sick and then selling us the cure.  They come out looking like the good guys when in actuality they are the most evil fucks this world has ever seen.  Our air is toxic, our water is toxic, our food is mostly toxic.  Radio waves beam into our bodies every second and cell phones cause brain cancer.  It’s not even that society looks out for the elite.  We all breathe the same air, drink mostly the same water, eat basically the same foods as everyone else.  It’s just that the rich have enough money to buy treatments to mask the symptoms of their toxic lifestyles while the poor simply die.  I had a brain surgery when I was 16 and it cost $40,000.  I don’t know how much the following radiation treatment cost, but I’m sure it was large as well.  Good thing I had medical insurance back then or I might be dead as well.

Lucky for me, my brain tumor was with me since my birth and growing steadily until I was a teenager when it was removed.  But most of these ailments that are coming about in today’s toxic world are the result of living in this toxic world.  Even the treatments for these diseases are toxic.   People always want a quick fix pill to solve everything and get mad when it doesn’t work.  Most likely because they are kept so sick by this toxic world that they don’t even have the energy to go exercise or prepare a healthy meal.  Nutritional information is everywhere, but 99.5% of the United States doesn’t care because they would rather sacrifice their health for the good taste of name-brand snack foods that are only going to make their gigantic figures twice as big in half the time.

It’s so easy to eat whole foods and people just don’t do it.  They need to be informed about how we lived just 200 years ago, eating all organic and natural foods, not this genetically modified frankenfood.  But how to get the word out?  How to tell the masses that they are killing themselves slowly through fast food?  Who will even listen?  Most of these people would rather quietly die from an obesity-related disease than take control of their health.  It’s sad, really, but what can I do?  If I can’t change the system or stop the big food companies from advertising at us nonstop, then what is there to do except to lead by example?  To show the world what eating healthy really looks like is the only way to truly make a difference.  Because it takes someone to show these people what real food looks like for them to even consider a change.  It takes good results on a nutrient-rich diet to inspire change in those who will have diabetes in their 20s.  It takes courage to rock the boat and do things that are against the grain.  And that’s what I need to do, and what we all need to do.  Because without showing those who are marketed to on a daily basis how to get out of that media-induced stupor of consumption of shitty food, we will be too weak to do anything and die when this whole system collapses.

So, to sum up, eat healthy because you owe it to yourself.  You owe yourself a healthy body.  And you owe yourself the ability to fight back if there is any injustice.  You need to take control of your health or it will be gone before you know it.  Best of luck to you all and the next time you think about having a snack, reach for a piece of fruit instead of a bag of chips.  It’s the natural way.

Green Smoothies Save the Day

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

If you’re looking for that extra boost, drink a green smoothie.  Full of nutrients and fiber, you’ll feel like you’ve just drank something out of the Bible.  It’s that heavenly.  Raw greens are one of the best things you can put in your body, so be sure to bulk up on those because without greens, your body will be functioning at a less than optimal level.  I just had another green smoothie and I can feel my body healing itself slowly.  It’s a good meal that will allow for very quick digestion and keep you full for quite some time, mostly because it has so many nutrients in so little calories.  Just take some of your favorite fruits, water, ice, and a few handfuls of greens and enjoy!

It’s hard work trying to save the world from the mistake of civilization, so I’m trying to gain an advantage by eating healthier than those who control the world.  If I can get myself in peak physical condition, I’ll be able to become a force in the blogosphere and get better at marketing this blog to the point where it will be a tour de force to be reckoned with.  After putting such living and vibrant foods into my body, I feel like the world is at my fingertips and things are looking up once again.  It’s raw nutrition that is unprocessed and completely natural.

I’ve read that once you get accustomed to the greens, you start putting more and more and less and less fruits, so that will be something even more beneficial.  They say that the strongest animals in the world are the ones that eat plenty of dark, leafy greens.  Gorillas and other monkey species base most of their diet on greens and some fruit.  We can learn a lot from this and become much healthier as a species if we eat predominantly greens and fruits, not to mention a little meat.  Smoothie number 4 had as follows:

  • 6 strawberries
  • 10 grapes
  • 2 bananas
  • 3 handfuls spinach
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 2 cups water
  • 5 cubes ice
  • 1 pear (whole)

Sweet as pie, but healthy as a full salad.  You just can’t beat it! Goes well for breakfast, lunch, and a lite dinner.  You’ll get more nutrition in one meal than the average American gets in a week, or maybe even a month.

Vitamix

Monday, April 20th, 2009

We just got a Vitamix a couple of days ago and I’ve made a couple of smoothies so far and I must say that getting good nutrition from a green smoothie is fantastic, especially on such a large scale with the Vitamix.  It is a 2 quart blender that has remarkable speeds and can pulverize almost anything.  Here’s a sampling of what I made this morning.

  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 7 strawberries
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 cup water
  • 15 grapes
  • 1 cup ice
  • 3 prunes
  • 1 cup water

After drinking this concoction, it felt like more of a buzz than a cup of coffee.  But it wasn’t a jittery feeling, but one of energy.  Sure, this smoothie may be high on the sugar side, but I’m transitioning to getting more greens and less fruit.  I’ll always have at least one banana in there because  it makes the smoothie smooth.  It will always have tons of greens because that’s what gives the most nutrition pound for pound.  Doing this every day for breakfast will allow me to get a good portion of my food for the day raw without having to chew all of it.  It will also allow me to get nutrition that is often trapped in the food out into my body and allow myself to heal and detoxify much faster and easier than if I was to chew all that food myself.

Adding these dark, leafy greens is what gives the smoothie all its merit.  Without the greens, it’s basically a bunch of sugary fruit without anything to ground it.  A complete fruit smoothie is healthy, but it can lead to problems if overconsumed, so adding all these greens allows for a balanced and very tasty smoothie.  You can’t even taste the greens.  You just taste the fruit, but you get the green nutrition regardless.

The Vitamix is fantastic because it breaks down the food to the cellular level and allows us to absorb the nutrients that would otherwise be turned into waste.  This is all in an effort to get myself to feel better.  To be healthy.  To help myself heal.  If I can drink 1.5 quarts of a green smoothie every day, I will see great benefits in a week.   I already feel something from drinking these drinks for 2 days, so it’s only a matter of time before they really start to kick me into high gear.

I’m probably going to try and get 1/2 a pound of greens a day into my body.  At least to start.  It’s very important that I do that because they are the most nutrient dense food.  Wish me luck.
