Muscular Atrophy
The Children's Crippler

"I know fluoridation to be a very secret(1) Russian revolutionary technique to deaden our minds,(2) slow our reflexes,(3) and gradually kill our Will to resist aggression."(4) __USAF Major George Lacey Jordan, Major Jordan Diaries, American Mercury, July, 1957. Page 33.

 

-------------------------------------------------
(2) Softening of the mind. This may gradually occur between a period of from five to twenty years after the beginning of the ingestion of the Sodium Fluoride.
(3) Hardening of the muscles; slowing the reflexes.
(4) Negating the power of resistance.
-------------------------------------------------

For the past several years every effort humanly possible has been made to focus the attention of the people upon the horrors of Poliomyelitis. This is as it should be. It cannot be denied that it is both a killer and a crippler.

It is equally true that there are several other diseases affecting muscles, nerves and brain that claim far more victims than Polio. In several respects these diseases are worse than Polio, because the children who fall victim to these diseases are considered generally incurable; whereas many, in fact, the majority of those afflicted by Polio, if they do not die, are ultimately cured and take their place in life's activity.

A second horror of childhood is Muscular Atrophy.(5) In general, physicians admit they do not know the cause of this disease, and what is still more discouraging, is the fact that it is questionable if there is a cure for it; consequently, those afflicted may remain so for life, to be cared for by the parents, who though willing, are in all too many instances totally unprepared for the task.
-------------------------------------------------
(5) There are numerous other atrophic diseases equally disabling and incapacitating.
-------------------------------------------------

This disease affects the muscles of the body by hardening them and gradually causing them to be unresponsive. This being true, it is certain that the cause must be found in something that is capable of atrophying the muscles and bringing this about gradually.

Is there a Toxic substance which, though formerly unsuspected, can bring about such conditions?

There is.

This substance is Sodium Fluoride.(6) Sodium Fluoride does many things to the human body, more especially the muscles, nerves and brain. Among other things, it has the power to gradually atrophy the muscles; a cause in practically all muscular diseases. It shatters the nervous system. It softens the brain.
-------------------------------------------------
(6) It is not to be taken for granted that Sodium Fluoride is the only villain. Closely associated with it is the denaturing of so many foods of their mineral and vitamin contents. The constant ingestion if such "foods" lowers the resistance of the body and prepares it for an attack of the various vicious disabling diseases.
-------------------------------------------------

At the moment we are concerned only with one of Sodium Fluoride's most destructive potentials; that of atrophying the muscles. If any one has doubt that it does this, let him kill a rat with this highly toxic substance and then examine the rat.

The effects of Sodium Fluoride on the muscles of any living creature may be immediate as when a "killing" dose is given or taken, or through a slow process by accumulation, for Sodium Fluoride, like Mercury, arsenic and some other Toxic agent's is accumulative and its effects are generally gradual. If given or taken in small amounts, such as considered by its votaries as "safe," the amount is one part per million and its Toxic effects may not show for five years, or between five and twenty, or even later.

Muscular Atrophy seldom affects the very young. Accepting Sodium Fluoride as the villain, how, or by what means, does it affect the child in time to have its most deadly results upon it in the early years of youth.

In very simple manner, the writer "stumbled" in the idea, or the fact, unexpectedly, when meeting with parents of a number of children so afflicted, and in his capacity as a Dietitian was requested to outline a dietary regime for these victims.

It was simple routine to obtain a complete outline of their diet since birth. How was the baby fed? At its mother's breast? If not, what was the substitute? What was the combinations? How long were they continued?

In almost each instance the mother was incapable of nursing the child for one reason or another; or able to only partly nurse the child, and compelled to substitute food. WHAT WAS THE SUBSTITUTE FOOD - PABLUM?(7) -------------------------------------------------
(7) The American firm manufacturing Pablum has informed us that their current formula does not contain Sodium Fluoride.
-------------------------------------------------

Although his investigations appear thorough and have never been contradicted or questioned, he does not in any way indicate connecting Pablum,(8) the cause of Muscular Atrophy, though he was fully aware of the Toxic affects of Sodium Fluoride in small or large doses; its accumulating in the system, and that it was considered as the poison of all poisons.
-------------------------------------------------
(8) That the Sodium Fluoride in Pablum might be the cause of Muscular diseases, among them Polio.
-------------------------------------------------

HERE IS A VITALLY IMPORTANT SUBJECT FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE TO THE WELFARE OF AMERICAN CHILDREN, and prove or disprove the firm belief of many, that this is one of the main causes of the disease. DEnatured foods the other.

Polio is akin to Muscular Atrophy in its various manifestations. Is it not possible that they are related and the cause the same?

Polio may be an acute manifestation, while Muscular Atrophy is the chronic. The onset of Polio is more or less sudden; that of Muscular Atrophy gradual. However, the muscular conditions of Polio, after the acute symptoms subside, are very much the same.

The writer does not here give Commander (R.N.) Carr's investigation verbatim, this being too lengthy, and would serve no good purpose, therefore here is a short digest:

"Because science proved the harmful cumulative effects of Sodium Fluoride, the British Government passed legislation which absolutely prohibited the use of fluoride as a preservative on any kind of food or beverage prepared for human consumption.

"The findings of research workers in Canada in regard to the harmful cumulative effects of fluorides in the human body, caused the government to introduce a clause in the "Pure Food and Drug Act" which made it unlawful for any food or beverage prepared for human consumption to contain more than .2 parts per million with the exception of certain canned fish which naturally contain a higher percentage (of natural Fluoride) than .2 per million.

"Notwithstanding these facts Drs. Allen Brown, Drake, Tisdall, Jackson and others made up a formula for Pablum (as a baby food), known as `the perfect baby food,' which included so much animal bone meal(9) that the babies of America, who were fed `Pablum' actually took into their little bodies anywhere from 6 to 22 P.P.M. of fluoride. Research conducted by Professor Mary P. Ham and M. Doreen Smith in the Food Chemistry Department of the University of Toronto prior 1953 proved that Pablum contained an average of 11 to 12 P.P.M. of fluoride. This policy of serving rat poison to infants of America continued from the day Pablum first went onto the market nearly twenty years ago(10) until early in 1954. Medical men with whom the author discussed this matter emphasized that the ingestion of such quantities of fluoride cannot help but have a harmful cumulative effect.

-------------------------------------------------
(9) Bone meal does not contain enough Sodium Fluoride to make this possible, Metallic Fluoride had to be added to increase the proportion.
(10) If the really harmful effects of Fluoride accumulation begin five years or earlier after starting the intake of Fluoride - all experienced authorities appear to agree in this - then, considering the time when Pablum began to be fed to American babies day after day, the harvest for result - the reaping -would appear to have started years ago and coincide with the beginning of Muscular Atrophy among the youths of America.
------------------------------------------------

"An investigation was conducted into this matter and it was found that a number of children who had been raised on a Pablum diet had, between their fifth and seventh years, developed symptoms of chronic fluorisis. They (the doctors) did not seem to know exactly what was wrong with them. One day they had bowel complaints, spasms and pain, diarrhea, cramps, etc.

"Another time it would be bladder trouble and chronic
constipation....Doctors usually made a diagnosis of Colitis or Ciliac. Professors Ham and Smith of the Department of Food Chemistry, University of Toronto, wrote scientific papers on the subject: FLUORINE BALANCE STUDIES ON FOUR INFANTS AND FLUORINE BALANCE ON THREE WOMEN.

"Both paper were published in the Journal of Nutrition, Vol. 53, No.2, June, 1954. The investigation indicated that these two professors had for years pointed out to those making Pablum, the harmful effect of 12 P.P.M. of fluorine could have on those who ate the baby food. The strange thing is that the formula was not changed until 1953 or early in 1954. WHY NOT?

"The writer spoke to Dr. Drake...he claimed the only reason the formula was changed was because the idea for fluoridation of water supply systems in the U.S.A. and Canada was catching on...They didn't want to overdo the thing. __(Certainly a damaging admission.)

"Dr Menzies (President of Mead, Johnson & Co., makers of Pablum replied to another letter. On May 18th, 1954, he wrote: `In reply to your latest inquiry, the fluorine content of Pablum used to be between 7.5 to 9.8 parts per million. The present Pablum has a fluorine content of between 1.5 to 2.2 parts per million.'

"There is a lot of difference between .2 P.P.M., Dr. Drake said it contained, and the 2.2 P.P.M., Menzies admits is still in Pablum. It must be remembered we are discussing The Devil's Poison, (as it was known) the most deadly and dangerous (because of its great toxicity) poison known to man. Professors Ham and Smith staked their professional reputations on the truth of their statement that the old formula contained from 6 to 12 P.P.M. of fluorine (dangerous to health under any condition) and that the average was 11 to 12 P.P.M. If Mr. Menzies statement regarding the contents of fluorine in the present Pablum is as far from the fact as it was regarding the old, then there is still well over the legal limit of rat poison being shoveled down the throats of the babies of America under the false statement that Pablum is the Perfect food."

An apologist, widely recognized as an authority, made the remark to the writer that the product under discussion had been sold without interruption since it manufacture, hence must have had the approval of the Pure Food and Drug Administration, and therefore could be harmful despite the fact the Sodium Fluoride content had been vastly reduced. The argument is a specious, wholly misleading one. Let us cite an example:

"In 1955, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that cancer was induced by a pesticide known as `Aramite' and attempted to prevent contamination of food with this substance by establishing a zero tolerance for it under the Miller Pesticide Act.

According to the experienced Dietitians and Biochemists, there is no such thing as a "Zero tolerance," i.e., "calculated risk." It is true that the system may, by gradual use, intake poisons without apparent effect, but this is the result of forcing the system to readjust itself, and this apparent readjustment is actually a "throwing off balance," a form of disease or abnormality, the system changing from the natural as Nature organized it. to an unnatural or superficial state. It is true that in certain ailments physicians prescribe poisons without harmful results, but it must be borne in mind that then the system is already in an abnormal state, and the "curative" or balancing amount of the drug is given only for the moment and then discontinued.

"After proceedings initiated by the united States Rubber Company, FDA's decision was overthrown, and it is now legal to sell foods known to contain Aramite.

"The precedent created by the Aramite decision affords a convenient loophole to permit manufacturers to go ahead and sell such compounds for use on or in foods.

This is what the FDA calls a calculated risk. The calculation (unfortunately) is that the manufacturer can get his profit, AND THE CONSUMER TAKES THE RISK. William E. Smith, M.D., in an address before the annual Convention of Natural Foods Association, Little Rock, Arkansas - February 16, 1957.

In the foregoing we dealt only with Muscular Anthrophy directly and Polio indirectly, and with the Toxic substance Sodium Fluoride as a possible cause.

Since the publication of the first volume of this text, there has been an awakening not only as to the possible cause of these diseases, but similar ones, all equally deforming, and disabling, such as Lateral Sclerosis, Parkinson's syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and others of like nature.

WE MAINTAIN THERE ARE TWO DIRECT CAUSES: The denaturing of Basic foods, more especially wheat and other grains and legumes containing vitamin E and lecithin, and in addition, Toxic substances such as Stilbestrol and Sodium Fluoride in the foods consumed by practically all of the people. This has special reference to pregnant women. Why do we mention these foods specifically? Because they contain the elements which pregnant women must have to be capable of giving birth to normal children. Stilbestrol and Sodium Fluoride are mentioned in this connection because they are special offenders.

Physicians in general admit they do not know the cause of these diseases. This is especially true of Neurologists. Biochemists feel they know the cause.

In a letter issued by the National Neurological Research Foundation, it is frankly admitted that:

"...These disorders (those and others named) are all an integral part of the central nervous system.(11) They will now be studied systematically, as a whole, and in their relation to one another, rather than fragmented and split. "As Medical Science admits a complete and abysmal lack of knowledge as to the origin, prevention or cures for these disorders, and as scientists in the neurological field do not what other scientists in this field are doing, the indication is clear and demands that something better must be done at once.(12)

"These disorders (estimated at twenty million) are the primary cause of permanent crippling - as the cause of death rank third."

-------------------------------------------------
(11) As already frequently pointed out in this text, the lack of necessary vital elements in the diet, and in addition, Toxic substances such as Sodium Fluoride and Stilbestrol have a direct destructive affect on the Central nervous system; equally so as on the muscular system.
(12) Why not take the hint of one who does not pretend to be a great scientist or authority, and investigate along lines suggested? Is humanity not worth it?
-------------------------------------------------

Not only is a very great portion of our basic food DEnatured, and most if not all, the vital and absolutely necessary elements for health eliminated for reasons of profit, while a still greater amount is adulterated with health-destroying additives such as those named, but in addition, other foods consumed in large quantities are actually unfit for even animal consumption.

It is reported that in January alone, some 512 tons of contaminated and unfit food were taken in court actions at the behest of the Pure Food Administration. Among them were:

Vegetables bearing excessive residues of DDT or other dangerous pesticides, chili powder containing glass fragments, olive adulterated with camphorated oil, animal feeds contaminated with mineral oil, replacing the more expensive and valuable linseed oil among them.

It was stated that more than three-fourth of the material seized was filthy, or even decomposed. Other seizures contained cheaper and less desirable ingredients than those named on labels. Included among them were nut cakes WITHOUT nuts, oysters mostly water, bonita for tuna fish, cotton seed oil for olive oil. Is it possible for anyone to conceive that such substances ingested as food can be other than creative of physical indispositions, especially when these are in addition to highly DEnatured foods, and those adulterated with highly poisonous substances. It must be borne in mind that women by the millions bearing children, live on these substances - they are in no sense building foods.

Our contentions are at last beginning to bear fruit even in the medical profession. In an article which appeared in the San Francisco Chronical, June 20, 1958, reported by Elmont Waite under the title

"Diet, NOT Genes Blamed for Deformities

The reporter quotes Dean John B. deC. M. Saunders as follows:

"Prevention of most so-called (inherited) deformities is a distinct possibility, Dean John B. deC. M. Saunders of the UC School of Medicine, told physicians attending convention here last night."

This conclusion agrees with all we have ever written, and especially so with this section of Chapter Three.

Women who desire to mother physically and mentally healthy children should pay strict attention to their diet, selecting only such foods as have not been DEnatured but contain all of their original elements as nearly as possible. No adulterated food of any kind should form part of the diet.

"The overwhelming majority of deformed babies did not inherit their malformations," he said. Instead, the trouble could be merely a LACK OF CERTAIN NUTRITIONAL AND METABOLIC AGENTS IN THE MOTHER'S DIET DURING THE CRITICAL PERIOD OF HER PREGNANCY. Dr. Saunders reported.(13)

"Other possibilities: A toxic (poisonous) substance,(14) or some physical injury to the unborn baby.

"`Almost all the varieties of malformation observed in man have been reproduced in laboratory experiments with rats by altering the mother's diet during pregnancy,' he said.(15) The animal may adjust itself to poisons.

-------------------------------------------------
(13) Some forty years ago we prepared, and published, a treatise entitled Prenatal Culture. In numerous instances the instructions were followed by women who had given birth to deformed children. In all of these years no woman who followed the instructions gave birth to a physically deformed or mentally deficient child. These statements have been borne out by facts.
(14) There are now more than 500 such substances used to adulterate foods daily consumed.
(15) There is no difference between the physical body of man and the animal body. They are affected in like manner. The difference is in the mind, the muscular and nervous system.
-------------------------------------------------

Man's physical body may do so (we say it "may," there is no assurance it will), but man is not alone of animal body. He is possessed of a mind to think, reason and imagine - a most delicate instrument. He has an equally fine nervous system combined with an easily disadjusted emotional nature. He also has a muscular system adjusted to the Nth degree. His mind thinks; commands action.

In his emotional nature he FEELS, LOVES, HATES. He is by nature DEVOTIONAL. These separate, but harmoniously adjusted parts of a normal man's nature, CANNOT ADJUST THEMSELVES TO ANYTHING INIMICAL TO THEIR NORMAL ACTIONS AND REACTIONS, and they gradually become "corroded," i.e., slowly deteriorate and are destroyed, causing man to become in many respects less than an animal. Quoting a famous physician: a vegetation.

"A diet deficient in folic acid, even for a few days, produced `virtually all known types of abnormality' in the hearts, arteries and veins of the baby rats.

"Almost all other types of deformity known to man can also be produced in the laboratory animals by withholding such agents as Vitamin A, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, folic acids, and Vitamin E and B 12 even briefly,(16) and without immediately noticeable effect on the mother.

"There is, Dr Saunders noted an `almost universal failure to appreciate that most defects and malformations in children are not mutations.' "The genes do determine the potential growth of facial and other dimensions of the child, thus potentially controlling the child's physical appearance, he explained. But this control is only potential - `and the potentiality may fail to express itself due to NUTRITIONAL, ENDOCRINE, TOXIC AND OTHER DISORDERS.

"Hence, with respect to congenital deformities, we should ...recognize that preventive measures are a distinct possibility.'

" We are on the threshold of understanding BIOCHEMICAL AND ENZYMATIC FACTORS.(17) The evidence suggests a rich reward to those who would pursue this field...'"

------------------------------------------------
(16) Most important of all the Vital elements to both the mother-to-be and her child, are Vitamin E, B 12, and Lecithin. These, together with their associate Vitamins are eliminated from the grains in the making of flour. Only in the Soy bean is Lecithin found more abundantly.
(17) Experienced Endocrinologists, Biochemists and Nutritionalists who have heart interest in their profession, have long since found the answer to these problems. Only the few have paid any attention to their conclusions. The dance of death as a result of wholesale denaturing and adulteration or food goes merrily on. Special study should be given to the statement made by Dean John B. DeC. M. Saunders, present section.
