"Fluoride may be harmful to people with chronic kidney disease, the National Kidney Foundation admits.
In a new report, the NKF acknowledged patients with chronic kidney disease should be warned that fluoride may pose an additional risk to their condition, but it has not issued a press release to spread the word. Daniel Stockin of the Lillie Center, Inc., a public health training firm that has works to end fluoridation, said the effects of fluoride can be detrimental, and it is imperative that the foundation take responsibility and distribute the new information.
"The kidneys try very hard to eliminate fluoride from the body, but in doing so the kidney tissue is exposed to concentrated amounts of toxic fluoride." he told WND. "Kidney patients must be told the whole story about fluoride. Fluoride is acknowledged to be slightly less toxic than arsenic and slightly more than lead."
Dialysis machines cannot use fluoridated water because it is known to be potentially dangerous to patients. The NKF report indicates some people receiving dialysis treatments died or were poisoned from fluoride after it leeched through machine filters.
Stockin criticized the foundation for not considering the wellbeing of patients above the risk of losing funding from the Centers for Disease Control, the government's major supporter of water fluoridation. He said the low-key report was distributed because the NKF knows it could face lawsuits from thousands of its kidney patients and doctors for negligent misrepresentation and failing to warn of negative health effects of fluoridation."
