brushing you teeth with salt or having it prescribed is one

Post #284,547 by boxley 5/13/07 11:20:26 AM Reply	brushing you teeth with salt or having it prescribed is one thing but to insist that all must partake whether you like it or not means ya'll agree with the regency u grads like OSHUA BLAKE: Instead of promoting the individual's liberties necessarily, we are looking at what's good for people as far as these values that are found in the Bible. substituting the bible forconcensus science which is a subterfuge for crap science. Some folks around here arnt a whole lot different. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 51 years. meep reach me at [link\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net]

Now lets look at the native population specifically.

Post #284,568 by Another Scott 5/13/07 5:59:03 PM Reply	Better link. [link\|http://www.aap.org/nach/Halliday%20presentation.pdf\|Overview of the Indian Health Service]. It doesn't mention fluoride. I don't doubt that health care, including dental care, among Native Americans is poor and substandard. It's a crime that they've been treated so badly by the USA for so long. The closest article that I've been able to find that talks about fluoridation issues on Indian reservations is [link\|http://adr.iadrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/11/2/210\|this] 7 page .pdf. It compares Navajo and Lakota experiences with Baltimore and San Antonio. Unfortunately, it doesn't come to any clear conclusions (at least none that jump out at me quickly) but does discuss many factors that make comparisons difficult. Cheers, Scott. (Who realizes that this should have been branched to Epi and Health quite a while ago...)
Post #284,574 by boxley 5/13/07 6:36:52 PM Reply	point==missed the older non floride consuming folks have decent teeth, the young kids whose diet is much whitified have rotten teeth. If floride was so good, the teeth should match folks in other floridated white areas, it doesnt. So floride has done no appreciable good in these areas and exposes a risk of death and illness. That is the point Im looking at. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 51 years. meep reach me at [link\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net]
