Three ways to die
Sounds dramatic doesn't it?. This is not providing you with alternative ways to commit suicide. It is commentary on the ways that beurocrats in their ignorance, or complacency, or by deliberate intent, will slowly reduce world population, whilst at the same time the drug companies will benefit by providing treatment for the damage caused 1 Artificial sweeteners Aspartame Side Effects 2 Fluoride Toxic Effects of Fluoride 3 Mercury tooth fillings YouTube - Smoking Teeth = Poison Gas If you have faith that the 'powers that be' have your best interests at heart' you will 'poo poo' this thread, and, viewed in the extreme, it could be classed as conspiracy theory.

How sweet of you to offer - have only 7 teeth left and none of them have fillings.

Re: Three ways to die
I have only one filling, it is about the size of a pin head. Will I die of mercury poisoning? I think I had best have it taken out just in case.

Re: Three ways to die
One of my pet grouches is against aspartame, or any other source of phenylalanine. Most of my health problems can be traced back to the misguided idea that diet drinks would help me lose weight. I gained. I've also got horrendous water retention and diabetes and hair loss and....................... well I could go on but it gets depressing.

Re: Three ways to die
Well I’ve got a gob full of mercury fillings and I’ve got to 71 OK. So they can’t be doing me much harm.
I’ve been breathing in toxic fumes from industry and vehicle exhausts all my life as well as smoking tobacco. Naturally that has had an effect but I wonder how much the tar in my lungs has prevented the air toxins from getting to my blood? Vegetables and me have been mortal enemies for as long as I can remember but on the other hand, I’m like Jack Sprat of nursery rhyme fame, I do not like the fat from meat, even though people have constantly told me that it’s the best part usually coupled with, “Don’t be so soft. Get it eaten.” I won’t eat ‘rare’ meat, no matter what. I have sugar in my tea/coffee/cocoa etc and also on the breakfast cereal, although recently I have taken to using liquid honey as a sweetener on breakfast cereal instead. I am partial to dairy products, eggs, white bread or what passes for bread these days. I cook using salt but there is no need to add salt to the meal whilst eating. According to the practice nurse I am doing everything wrong and she continually nags me to change my eating habits, but I’m still here and able to look after myself. I am about 15 pounds over weight for my height and have been for some 60 years. But my bones are thick and strong and I’ve only ever cracked one rib, broken and dislocated the little finger hand knuckle on my left hand and two fingers. Broken nose three times. OK! So pills have to prop up the heart and keep the blood fluid but that’s why we have doctors and pills. I stopped playing football at 45 and a year later stopped playing cricket and stopped roller skating shortly after my 50th birthday and table tennis a couple of years later. There comes a time when the joints don’t bend quite as quickly or easily. ‘Experts’ continually tell us, or rather suggest that this, that and the other MIGHT BE bad for us only to be contradicted a few years down the line by other ‘experts’. The problem is that research scientists need funding to carry out their research so they come up with a “this might be bad for people” so that their funding is renewed. Life and living is really all about money and how to get more. We, the general population, are just convenient guinea pigs. What I’ve done all my life has got me to 71 so I really see no need to change things. |

extract- The type of mercury fillings that began to be used during the last couple of decades, non-gamma-2 (high copper), releases many times more mercury than the older style of amalgam fillings.. A study related to mercury and Alzheimer's Disease was recently completed by a team of scientists led by well-respected researcher Dr. Boyd Haley. They exposed rats to levels of mercury vapor diluted to account for size differences between humans and rats. The rats developed tissue damage "indistinguishable" from that of Alzheimer's Disease. Repeating the experiment showed the same results. So if your fillings were done over 20 yrs ago you are less exposed. You are still at risk of Altzheimers disease. 71 is relatively young by today's standards. I am nearing 66 and my parents lived until their 80s. Genetic factors can help offset toxin exposure, but I have no doubt that toxins shorten life and the quality of life in old age. |

Re: Three ways to die
It never fails to amaze me that people get all fired up about fillings, sweetners etc. but continue to smoke. Now, I've been there and done that. I've got 5 fillings in my teeth and I drink sugar-free drinks etc. but the thing that made me ill was cigarettes. Smoking was the reason I have to use an inhaler to help my lungs take in oxygen, without the inhaler my oxgen levels drop and my heart can't cope. It was smoking that caused it, there's no history of chest problems in my family until my father who smoked 50 a day and died from lung cancer aged 77.
I'll carry on with the Coke Zero, thanks, and continue to regret I ever thought smoking was "cool". ;) |

However remembering to take them is another matter, especially the Warfarin.

Then suddenly during the evening I think to myself, “have I take my pills?” And I can’t remember if I have or not. But I’ve got round that problem by marking each pill in the blister packs with the days of the week. |

Back in ’54 sailors were allowed to buy 300 specially made cigarettes by BAT and two other tobacco companies, for 7 shillings and sixpence each month. That is six pence for twenty. We called them “Blue Liners” because each fag had a blue line running down the length of it. Sailors on ships in home waters and abroad could buy 800 branded fags per month for £2. That is one shilling for twenty when the same fags were three shillings and sixpence for twenty in civvy street. We could even buy Woodbines that were the same size as Players or Senior Service, known throughout the land as “Ship’s Woodbines” and much sought after in civvy street. This concession was to all intents and purposes was encouraging sailors to smoke and even got some non-smokers to start. If you have ever seen the newsreel footage of the troops coming home from Dunkirk, you would have seen that they were given a mug of tea by the nurses and a fag as they disembarked, even those on stretchers. At least in those days smoking tobacco was much purer than it is today. |
Re: Three ways to die
I have been made ill by prescriptions in my past-
E coli/pseudomembranous colitis - from being injected with a (now banned) antibiotic Addiction to prescribed painkillers containing codiene I have some everlasting damage from these and my quality of life has been less than it should have been for 20+ years. Perhaps you may understand from this why I do not have total and absolute confidence in the medical profession. They are only human after all and are under such workload pressure that it is human nature for them to sometimes take the easy way out and provide a standard of care which is less than perfect. Since you you appear to have absolute faith in your doctor's competance, that must provide you with great peace of mind. A very recent personal experience of mine has proved to me that to take responsibility for my own health has been an essential health preservation measure. A year ago I began to have overwhelming urges to sleep - after 4 hours awake I needed 2 hours sleep totalling 11 hours a day - so I had lost the use of 4 hrs a day of living. Most people who work hard and find little time for sleep said 'Lucky you' but I considered that I was losing 1 day a week of living. The doc decided that it was probably narcolepsy - untreatable - learn to live with it and 'drink lots of coffee'. During the winter I got bronchitis and battled through it and did not resort to asking for antibiotics until February - my past experience with antibiotics makes me extremely reluctant to use them. The bronchitis cleared after 2 weeks but I was left easily breathless. So I concluded that I have some emphysema - 50 yrs of smoking - only myself to blame. So at age 65 I appeared to be facing the prospect of sleeping and gasping for the rest of the time I had left - naturally got quite depressed. I was at 'rock bottom' mentally and physically because the sleepiness had got worse so that I never felt properly awake. Then I was told by an aquaintance 'I was like that until I got vitamin B12 injections' This set me on a path of websearching Vitamin B12 deficiency I asked for my B12 blood level to be tested and it came back 'normal' (What our NHS consider normal is judged to be dangerously low in some other countries) So my doc then began tests of heart and lungs. 'Heart fine' but I expect him to find some COPD Due to my distrust of the medical profession I decided to self medicate with vit B 12. After only one week the sleepiness had gone completely and the breathlessness reduced by 50%. I had B12 deficiency which has not, and would not ever, have been diagnosed, and which if untreated would have caused irreversable damage to my nervous system with symptoms mimicking MS and dementia. My doc can see that my self medication is working and regrets that he cannot he cannot provide me with B12 free on prescription.(nhs guidlines wont allow him to) If I had not taken responsibily for my own health my remaining years of life would have been not worth living. So that is why I take the trouble to put on here news about anything which I think may be causing all of us health damage. I don't mind at all being labelled a hypochondriacal harbinger of doom :D .... perhaps you will appreciate now why I do it |

Re: Three ways to die
Revealed: How health chiefs plan to put fluoride in half our water supply to halt tooth decay | Mail Online
They want you to stop drinking bottled water because the bottles need recycling, yet they are contemplating poisoning tap water. The article does say that it wont be done in areas where residents dont want it. I don't want this to be decided by a majority vote which will be swayed by people who haven't even been told of the risks - do you? |
Re: Three ways to die
Will carry on buying bottled water, no faith in what they say so will make sure I'm not drinking!!

Re: Three ways to die
I’ve been arguing against the adding of fluoride to the water supply ever since the notion was first put forward and I am not alone.
I am against it for two reasons. It cannot possibly be cost effective. You don’t need an ology to work out that only a small proportion of the water that you use in your home is actually drunk. I doubt if one person drinks the same amount that is used for one flush of the toilet. Then there is the bath/shower water, hands/face washing, the washing machine, washing up, mopping, car cleaning and garden watering. If I were to hazard an educated guess I would suggest that barely 5% of the water supplied to the average home is actually drunk at home and only half of that by children who MIGHT benefit. This means that some 95% of the cost of fluoridating the water supply is wasted. And guess who would pay for it? Some people and children have been known to react to excessive fluoride. Then there is industry that uses the same water and I would dare to suggest that 99% of it is not drunk. The other equally important, if not more important, reason is that on no account whatsoever should our drinking water be used to distribute involuntary medication to the masses. If nothing else it will establish a precedent so that in years to come when we, near or at the bottom of the pile get fed up of the way the country is being run and make vociferous demands for a better deal, our rumblings could be quelled with the introduction of a tranquilliser in the water. If the Health Chiefs, BDA and government are so concerned about the health of kids’ teeth then the simplest and most cost effective solution is to supply fluoride toothpaste and a suitable brush to children under 16 years of age free of charge. To prevent exploitation these items would have to be specially manufactured under a specific and unique brand name. It was done with cigarettes and tobacco for the Royal Navy so there is no reason why it could not be done for fluoride toothpaste and brush. Thereafter they could get replacements by producing the empty toothpaste tube or worn out brush. The issue should certainly not be put to local vote, primarily because far too many people cannot see any further than their own selfish nose. Finally, weren’t there moves to fluoridate bottled water? What happened to that crackpot idea? |
Re: Three ways to die
I'm the same as you Margeret.
I have nasty reactions to Antibiotics so will delay going to the docs as much as possible,i'm allergic to codeine and most painkillers so i tend to self medicate as much as possible,herbal remedies etc... Because of the problems ive had with medication in the past,despite my doctors reassurances i'm very wary of going which isn't a good thing but it is easy to be put off. |

Re: Three ways to die

I never thought I would ever say this, but congratulations and thanks to the EU beaurocrats for this (only this one) European Court ruling spells an end to fluoridation There is fluoridation in the north east and the midlands.

Epstein: An Overdue Ban On A Dangerous Sweetener Under the explicit provisions of the 1958 Delaney Law, which requires an automatic ban on carcinogenic food additives, it is anticipated that Dr. Margaret Hamburg, the newly appointed FDA Commissioner and inspiring public health advocate, will promptly ban the continued use of aspartame. |

Re: Three ways to die
Do we not have floride in our water supply at the moment? all be it a small amount.
United Utilities: Water quality detail Good to see there is action being taken against it. Aspartamine, about time thing where done for this, I found this to be in childrens vitamines at ASDA, but they removed it from there own fizzy drinks even with a lable stating No Aspartamine, why still have it in there OWN BRAND CHILDRENS VITAMINS?? I also Find MOST Diet/Low Sugar drinks (Espec Coke) contain it. Is there not also another name for it? Hope they start looking at MSG'S aswell (Not to sure about these as still doing my research but they seem to be bad for you and in a lot of food). |
Re: Three ways to die
Some water supplies naturally contain fluoride, but it is not the same chemical as the chemical waste byproduct that some authorities are deliberately adding.
