Warning: There is a short film included in this video of cattle that are suffering from fluorosis placed there in order to illustrate what Mr. Lickers is relating. This footage may be disturbing to some of our viewers. Mr. F. Henry Lickers Director of the Department of Environment for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne Henry Lickers is a member of Seneca Nation, Turtle Clan, and is the Director of the Department of the Environment for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. For more than 25 years, Mr. Lickers has been instrumental in incorporating First Nation's people and knowledge into environmental planning and decision making. Throughout his career, Mr. Lickers has worked to address local, national, and international environmental issues with organizations including The International Joint Commission, The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, and the Science and Technology Advisory Council to Environment Canada. In 2008, Mr. Lickers was awarded the Annual Sandford Fleming Medal by the Royal Canadian Institute for the Advancement of Science, for his "outstanding contributions to the public understanding of science". Mr. Lickers was the first speaker at the 4th Citizens Conference on Fluoride in 2010, held at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York by the Fluoride Action Network. His description of the intentional fluoride poisoning of the Akwesasne area of the Mohawk people is both vivid, saddening, and sprinkled with bits of humor. His presentation is difficult to ignore. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKSdylGJPX0

The announcements in 2006 by the Centers for Disease Control and the American Dental Association which warn parents against the use of fluoridated tap water for the reconstitution of infant formula does not seem to take into account that the baby does not have teeth until about six months from birth. These are only temporary teeth, and the adult teeth appear about seven years from birth. The assumption here is that less fluoride in the diet during the first six months will help prevent fluorosis. However, fluoride is found in many different food and drink sources, mouthwash and toothpaste that kids encounter all during those years. Fluoride is an accumulative toxin that lodges in the teeth and bones of the body and apparently certain organs of the body as well. Fluorosis may only be the tip end of the problem while young teeth are forming. The announcement does not take into account emerging research indicating that fluoride has an adverse effect on cellular development in internal organs at very low levels. So, more than just the teeth are being affected by the ingestion of fluoride. More serious and unbiased research is badly needed concerning this internal cellular damage. Also consider that babies ingest much more liquid for their body mass than do adults. And, because of this, the amount or dosage of fluoride received each day is much higher for children when compared to that of a fully grown adult. This is the period of rapid growth, and the period of most concern for healthy development into adulthood. Exposure to toxins during this developmental stage may result in permanent damage that follows the individual into his/her adult years. Essentially, babies and young children ingest much more fluoride than the safe levels approved by the CDC and ADA. And, because much of what they drink and eat is processed from fluoridated water, children receive much more fluoride per day than the officially recommended levels. In fact, even at the recently amended level of drinking water fluoridation, mother's milk, the best indicator of what nutrients are best for childhood development, contains 175 times less fluoride than tap water. The level of fluoridation recommended prior to the January 7th announcement by Health and Human Services was .7 to 1.2 parts per million, and was based upon the theoretical amount of water ingested by an individual for a particular region's weather or ambient temperature. It did not account for the wide range of ingestion amounts according to an individual's daily needs. For instance, a road worker in 95 degree sun is going to drink much more water than a computer worker who stays indoors at 72 degrees all day. The road worker would therefore ingest much more fluoride than would the computer worker, and would therefore ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SPIe6z4iCQ
