Presented in its entirety, in this hard hitting
documentary, producer and professional dentist, Dr. David Kennedy,
travels to China with his wife Betty at the invitation of the Shenyang
Medical School, and visits villages where skeletal and dental fluorosis
have ravaged whole village populations. The images in this video are quite graphic, and may be disturbing to
some of our viewers. ~ Documentary
Local water supplies have been
discovered to contain significant levels of natural fluoride
contaminant, some as high as the legal limit allowed in the United
States by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Fluorosis is also observed in large areas where hydrogen fluoride is
emitted into the air from coal burning electrical plants and when crops
such as corn are dehydrated over a hibachi. However the injuries
depicted in this documentary are entirely from natural fluoride in
drinking water.
The Chinese researchers had noted that in high fluoride
areas the economy was distressed and that most adults developed skeletal
fluorosis by the age of 40. Farm animals were also observed with
reduced fertility and productivity.
Villagers were unable to efficiently farm and provide for their
families. Adults became a burden to the next generation and poverty was
rampant.
Though fluoride damage is generally permanent in the human
body, in this video we see the results of the de-fluoridation program
conducted in several of those areas that were affected. Pain among the
fluoride crippled was dramatically reduced, and dental fluorosis in
children was reduced as well.
In 1976, G. Hongxin, with the Chinese
Department of Endemic Disease Control and G. Dai, with researchers from
the China Medical University, Shenyang, reviewed the history of chronic
endemic fluorosis and extensive crippling skeletal fluorosis in China.
They identified fluoride from well water as the most probable cause of
the extensive tooth, bone, and joint damage, in the residents of over
1026 counties in 28 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities
and began a systematic program of water de-fluoridation.
Simply reducing the fluoride levels in drinking water to 0.5-1.0 ppm
resulted in an overall improvement in health. However, 37.8% of resident
children had still developed visible dental fluorosis with some severe
mottling of the teeth while consuming water in the villages with 1 part
per million residual fluoride in drinking water.
Fluorosis is a
permanent scaring of the tooth enamel that cannot be reversed. Adult
villagers with stage 3 and 4 skeletal fluorosis reported a significant
reduction in pain and increased mobility after de-fluoridation had been
instituted.
Though improved, their condition could not be reversed. The
CDEDC estimated that 25 million Chinese people suffered from dental
fluorosis and 1.25 million from skeletal fluorosis caused by excess
fluoride in their drinking water alone.
FAN has also recently reported on multiple Chinese studies that have
pointed toward reduced IQ among children in villages whose fluoride
levels were elevated. Studies in other countries are beginning to
strongly and statistically confirm the Chinese research.
The producer of
this video, David C. Kennedy, DDS, has practiced dentistry for more
than 30 years. He is the Past President of the International Academy of
Oral Medicine and Toxicology, which was formed to review, support, and
disseminate research on the suitability of materials and methodologies
used in the practice of dentistry.
Dr. Kennedy is currently the Information Officer on fluoride for the
International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. He has lectured
to dentists, physicians and other health professionals all over the
world on the subjects of preventive dental health, mercury toxicity, and
fluoride.
He is the author of the book, “How To Save Your Teeth With
Toxic Free Preventive Dentistry,” that provides instruction and insight
for both professionals and the layman on how to provide and receive
toxic-free dentistry.
This acclaimed video has been viewed all over the world, both in
Europe and in Asia. Dr. Kennedy has written and produced videos
extensively on the toxicology of dental materials and practices,
including fluoride and mercury amalgams.
Now retired, he has been the
past president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine, and
remains a consultant and dental expert. He continues to work closely
with the IAOMT.
