Flouride Is In Your Drugs And Water - Enormous Effects

Almost everyone has at least heard the  recent news stories citing links between certain  antidepressant drugs and suicides and even school  shootings. Several surveys have shown that a  majority of school shooters were taking SSRI-  type antidepressants before they committed their  heinous acts. What most people have not heard  is that in most cases these were fluorinated drugs  (Paxil and Prozac, etc.), the chemical structure of  the drug included the toxic element fluorine. 
 
 A growing number of studies are showing that  fluorine added to drugs and to drinking water can  have a profound and prolonged harmful effect  on the brain. At present, I am reviewing all the  studies done on fluorinated pharmaceutical drugs  and their effects on the brain. What I have found  is shocking. There is a strong link between the  use of many of these drugs and violent behavior,  including homicides and suicides. 
 
In 2002, a number of murder/suicides occurred  on the military base at Fort Bragg, N.C., which were  linked to the fluorinated anti-malarial drug Lariam.  The Canadian military experienced a similar rash  of murder/suicides and uncontrollable aggression  among its soldiers taking the drug as well. 
 
 According to the "Physician's Desk Reference,"  used by doctors to prescribe medications, the  commonly used fluorinated antibiotics Floxin,  Levaquin, and Cipro can cause nightmares,  psychotic reactions, paranoia, agitation, manic  reactions, aggression and hostility, hallucinations,  and even depersonalization, all symptoms  associated with acts of homicide and suicide. 
 
 In fact, in their own clinical trials,  pharmaceutical companies found homicides,  homicidal acts, homicidal ideation, and aggressive  behavior to be a side effect of the fluorinated  medications. In addition, it was found that  children with obsessive-compulsive disorder  (OCD) taking the medications experienced  hostility episodes 17 times more often than  depressed patients.
 
 Of particular concern was the  finding that 1.1 percent of healthy, psychiatrically  normal people who took an SSRI anti-depressant  experienced one or more hostile episodes, while  none taking the placebo had such an event.  Medications remain in the brain for prolonged  periods after discontinuing the medication, more so  with fluoxetine (Prozac) than Paxil. 
 
In 1990, about 220 fluorinated pharmaceutical  drugs were on the market. Now some 1,500 are  under development. With millions of people  taking these classes of fluorinated drugs, events  similar to those at Virginia Tech are bound to  occur. This incident was a great tragedy. I send my  prayers for all those who were killed and injured  and especially to their families. 
 
It has been estimated that such side effects  with these anti-depressant medications, as well  as other fluorinated medications, are grossly  underreported to the regulatory agencies. One  study estimated only 1 percent to 10 percent of  cases are ever reported. Why more people are  not affected may be related to the abnormal brain  chemistry of depressed and OCD-affected people.   
 
What is unusual about the effect of fluorinated  drugs is that they trigger planned violence rather  than just violent outburst. This is what we also  witnessed in the mass shooting at Virginia Tech.  Make sure that the medication your doctor  prescribes is not a fluorinated one.
