Chlorine, fluoride in water cause cancer – Dr Howard A. Berg
Dr. Howard A. Berg of Island Chiropractic and Wellness Centre on Tortola made the statements last evening June 4, 2014 during the radio talk show ‘Straight Talk’, hosted by Mr Donald E. De Castro and aired on ZBVI 780 AM.
“Unfortunately in this day and age we live in a very toxic environment,” said Burke. “We have toxic cleaners that we use in our house…we have toxic sprays that we use in our hair. We have toxic chemicals that we put in our house. There are chemicals that come out of cars and trucks on the highway,” he said.
“There is stuff that is dumped in our water…over-the-counter drugs, recreational drugs, doctor prescribed drugs, cigarette smoke, alcohol, the water…if you look at all these things, we use them on a daily basis and we wonder why we get sick, we wonder why we have these cancers,” he said.
He said that fluoride is a heavy metal and toxic to the body. “We grew up with fluoride in the water and we are learning now that it probably wasn’t the best thing. A lot of the States (in the US) and a lot of the cities are getting away from the fluoridated water,” Dr. Berg said.
“We are learning that fluoride is a cancer causer. We are learning that it causes soft teeth, we’re learning that it causes delayed growth in brain cells in children,” he said.
He said that nations fighting wars use cluster bombs with chlorine to kill people, “and we use it in our swimming pools.”
Dr. Berg noted that even in small doses those chemicals are still deadly.
When this news site today June 5, 2014 sought to find out what chemicals are used in the water purification process in the Territory, Director of Water and Sewerage Department Perline Scatliffe-Leonard directed this news site to the Chief Environmental Officer in the Environmental Health Division, Carnel Smith, who was up to post time unavailable for comment.

Chlorine and Fluoride are two separate chemicals-one is for public health to deal with bacteria but the other is supposedly to address tooth decay. When boiled, Chlorine evaporates while Fluoride concentrates. Therefore you are getting much more than the "recommended dose" of F which has ill side effects.
Fluoride is NOT necessary for good teeth and definitely not meant for an entire population to ingest for the rest of their lives whether they need it or not. It is not a nutrient or vitamin needed for the body to function. And there is no way to control the dose. How much water, beer, soup, juice do you drink on a hot day? It's in the food chain, air pollution, even rat poison as a basic ingredient.
Have you ever wondered about the warning on tooth paste packages "if swallowed, seek medical attention or call poison control immediately"? It is linked to gastro-intestinal and immune deficiencies, arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney issues (people on dialysis machines can NOT use Fluoridated water because it is toxic.) New Hampshire has on their water bills a warning NOT to mix baby formula with fluoridated water because of over exposure. Babies are exposed to 3-4 times as much fluoride as an adult leading to health issues. And too much causes fluorosis or brown spots and break down of enamel on teeth.
Processed foods, sugar, poverty, dental hygiene, nutrition are big factors in dental decay. The most Fluoridated state in the US (with 40 yrs experience) is Kentucky yet it has 41% teeth loss, where Hawaii is the least fluoridated and has 16% teeth loss. We no longer tolerate the ill effects of asbestos, mercury, lead poisoning, cumulative effects of second-hand smoke, or pesticides yet we allow big business and lobbyists to push through Fluoride which is from fertilizer and aluminum factories in China.
Fluoride is not a one pill fits all medicine. Any vulnerable population (children, ill and elderly) are forced to take it in the water. Fairbanks, Alaska, Portland Oregon, Topeka and Wichita Kansas, 200 towns in US and Israel among almost all Europe have all discontinued the use because it is a waste of tax payers money as it washes cars and goes down the drain, and contributes to many illnesses including thyroid. What a trade off. Just brush your teeth, change your nutrition and get check ups!!
Nice list Einstein! Alaska? recall they elected Sarah Palin.
March 2012- NYT- Fluoride can cause bone weakness and tooth damage if ingested ..."
In 2006, at the E.P.A.'s request, experts were appointed by the National Research Council concluded that "the four-milligram maximum be lowered to prevent tooth enamel damage in children and bone fractures in adults".
the National Research Council recommended the cessation (stop) of fluoridation nationwide until research could be implemented to clarify the health effects on the human body". Finally, "although the studies were generally of insufficient quality, the consistency of their findings adds support to existing evidence of fluoride-associated cognitive deficits, and suggests that potential developmental neurotoxicity of fluoride should be a high research priority". To date, well-designed studies are put on the back burner, unfunded and fought by big business who make millions by dumping F in health products and water.
chlorine is for the greater good (and evaporates). Fluoride is for the targeted few under that age of 12 with developing teeth while the rest of the population gets it imposed regardless of the research. There are other ways of focusing on tooth decay than mass-medication. That is the distinction.
