Health Freedom Rights

Dr. Robin Falkov (website) discussed alternative medicine issues, and expressed concern that our health freedom rights were being eroded. She specifically mentioned the United Nations organization Codex which she said is working through the European Union to eliminate or greatly reduce the availability of over the counter vitamins and supplements.

Though Codex claims their goal is to establish world-wide standards, Falkov suggested their agenda was likely related to increasing profits for global pharmaceutical companies. She warned that once their standards for supplements were finalized, the availability of these items could be curtailed in the United States because of international agreements. (The IAHF offers an email newsletter to keep people aware of the latest developments in this area.)

Falkov also addressed alternative medical treatments, and believes that her partner, Richard C. Hoagland, recovered from a major heart attack five years ago, in part due to such approaches as chelation therapy, which supplied vitamins mixed into EDTA.

Truth About Fluoridation

In the May issue of After Dark, Corinna Richards contributed an in-depth article about the practice of adding fluoride to the water supply (about 56% of the U.S. public receives water from fluoridated systems).

In this sneak peek, she lists some of the major problems with fluoride:

• Fluoridation is not necessary. Most Western European countries are not fluoridated and have experienced the same decline in dental decay as the U.S.
• The U.S. fluoridation program has massively failed to achieve one of its key objectives, i.e., to lower dental decay rates while minimizing dental fluorosis (mottled and discolored enamel).
• Fluoride is a cumulative poison. Only 50% of the fluoride we ingest each day is excreted through the kidneys; the remainder accumulates in our bones, pineal gland, and other tissues…
• Fluoride has been shown to be mutagenic, cause chromosome damage, and interfere with the enzymes involved with DNA repair in a variety of insect, tissue culture, and animal studies.
