Fluoride: Dental Miracle or Neurotoxic Threat?
Fluoride: Dental Miracle or Neurotoxic Threat?
Expert and activist Dr Bob Dickson joins Dr Trozzi to explain.
Flouride has no role in any natural biochemical process in the human body. For decades flouride has been used and promoted for reducing dental cavities. In addition to its presence in toothpastes and other dental products, fluoride is added to municipal drinking water in three chemical forms: sodium fluoride (NaF), fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6), and sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6).
Flourosilicic acid is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production, and has various other uses including rust removal cleaning products. Critics of flourination of municipal drinking water point to various concerns including neurotoxicity and reduced intelligence in children who ingest it routinely.
Dr Bob Dickson MD is a Canadian physician who has dedicated much of his life to important humanitarian causes. He is passionate about ending the flourination of water and improving our children’s health and intelligence. This Calgary physician co-led the anti-fluoridation program in Calgary since 1999. This resulted in Calgary’s water fluoridation being halted in 2011. He is the founder of Safe Water Calgary and the Chair of Fluoride Free Canada.
As we have seen with medical doctors who raise concerns about the covid-19 genetic “vaccines”; Dr Dickson is under investigation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta because of his public education and activism regarding flouride. In the context of the past four years, if anything, that only adds adds credibility to Dr Dickson’s work. There is no conflict of interest for him.
Dr Dickson states that artificial water flouridation lacks common sense, is highly unethical, violates the precautionary principle, damages children’s brains, and is not needed for even a single natural bodily function.
I hope this interview with Dr Dickson helps all of us evaluate water flourination and make sound decisions regarding our health, including our children’s teeth and brains. I hope you will then inquire as to whether or not flourosilicic acid is added to your town’s drinking water, and speak with your elected officials to help all of us make the best decisions for our children and ourselves.

Dr Dickson’s Top Ten Reasons Not To Flouridate Water:
Fluoride is a proven neurotoxin and is one of the most toxic substances on the planet, as toxic as lead and arsenic! NOT what we want to add to our pristine public water!
Fluoride and fluoridation are most harmful to babies, children, the disadvantaged, the poor, and people of colour.
Fluoride is NOT a vitamin or nutrient, and is NOT needed for a single body function.
99% of fluoridated water is used to water lawns, flush toilets, shower and bath, and by industry, then flushed into our ecosystems mostly unchecked. This is NOT green.
Water fluoridation does NOT make economic sense in good economic times and most certainly not in tough, tight economies.
98% of British Columbia, 99% of Quebec, 97% of Europe and 95% of our world do NOT fluoridate. Non-fluoridated areas are in the vast majority!
Skyrocketing fluorosis in the USA, now > 70% in teens, is the first visible sign of overdosing and toxicity.
It is highly unethical to mass medicate, especially without informed consent, monitoring or follow up, and without control of dose or dosage.
Politicians should NOT mass medicate, nor should citizens vote by plebiscite on who should be medicated. Choice is of utmost importance!!
A major court case is underway in the USA Federal Courts since 2017 against the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for adding a known neurotoxic substance to water. Confirmed under oath—fluoride is a medication!

The other side of the fluoride debate in Calgary
In addition to Dr Dickson, Calgary is also home to a lawyer with polar opposite views and activism regarding fluoridation of water. Juliet Guichon is a lawyer and professor with the University of Calgary She is the founder of Calgarians For Kids’ Health who lobbied successfully to have
Fluorosilicic acid returned to Calgary’s drinking water as decided in a city council vote Oct 18, 2021. Calgary’s water is still free of artificial flouride at the time of this writing, however the future is uncertain.
Some comments:
1. Re: distillation of tap water. Minerals can come from food. Minerals are found in trace amounts anyway in water.
2. More re: distillation of tap water. Tap water can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which concentrate via straight distillation (comparable process to distillation of alcohol to make vodka). The simple experiment is to boil water and measure the VOCs with a commercial air quality tester. I have done this personally. So, a carbon filter is needed either before or after distillation (probably better).
3. Lastly re: distillation. Distillation is a great process to remove heavy metals and other tap water contaminants. The person at the tap can have no idea of the quality control on contaminants released from the water treatment plant or from the pipelines between it and the tap.
4. Re: plastic bottled water. Other than plastic pollution, the water can contain microplastics which can disrupt the endocrine system, messing up hormonal balance, and have other biological effects. Carbon filters take out the microplastics as well.
Conclusion: You can distill tap water with a commercial distillation appliance ($200-$300), then carbon filter the output with a commercial carbon filter (e.g. Brita). Enjoy the clean drinking water from this approach. Avoid drinking raw tap water and bottled water.
