The Drama of Fluorine: Arch Enemy of Mankind
By Leo Spria, MD
Summary: The complete book, published in its entirety by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research. The title says it all. The fluoridation of public water supplies was a heated debate in the early 1950s in America, and Dr. Spria weighed in with this extremely well researched book, which, he explains in the preface, is mainly "a condensed summary of 34 papers which I published in various medical journals in this country, in Great Britain, and on the Continent of Europe." Today's reader will learn much about the lies, scientific fraud, and official cover-ups in the long and sordid history of the fluoridation of public water supplies. An excellent bibliography adds to value of this historically important book. 1953.
Fluoridation of Water Supplies
By A. J. Cahill
Summary: An Australian physician writes to a medical journal warning of the dangers of fluoridating water supplies, giving examples from his own practice and from other doctors' practices of "the evil effects on human health" as a result of sodium fluoride being added to public water. He ends by offering advice about dental health that is just as astute today as it was then. "Sound nutrition is the only sure and safe way to provide our children with sound teeth and sound health for the rest of their lives. All mothers must now learn to feed their families on a well-balanced, vitamin-rich diet in order to achieve the best results. They must stop buying devitalized white bread and over-refined white sugar—those two curses of our modern civilization—and replace them with nourishing whole-meal bread and delicious health-giving honey." From the Medical Journal of Australia, 1962.

Fluorine and Dental Caries
By Dr. Royal Lee

In this address to a group in Florida, he delves into the dangers of ingesting fluorine as well as the commercial interests behind the adoption of water fluoridation. Also included is testimony from the U.S. Congress outlining studies on fluoridation that expose the dangerous side effects of this forced public medication. Reprint 53B, 1952.

Foreword to “Chinchillas or You and Your Grandchildren?” by W.R. Cox
By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: Dr. Lee's brief foreword to W.R. Cox's book about the destruction of chinchillas when exposed to fluoride in their food. In the book, Cox documents in detail his personal account of the ongoing disasters in his chinchillas attributed to high fluoride content of commercial animal feed. This cause was discovered through extensive and documented medical laboratory testing and autopsies. The MD and the chemist conducting the research at the University of Oregon Medical School clearly state in multiple reports that fluoride penetrates the placental barrier in animals, as evidenced by the chinchillas brought in by Cox. From Hello, Test Animals: Chinchillas or You and Your Children. 1953.

Health of the American People
By Congressman David S. King
Summary: From the Congressional Record of the 86th U.S. Congress (1959). Utah Congressman David King warns the government that "the progressive deterioration of the condition of our health has been confirmed." He blames our chemically-laden and processed food supply as the source of this trend. "There are many approaches to the prevention and treatment of such complex diseases, but there appears to be one common denominator as the basic cause of degenerative diseases. That one factor is malnutrition." King calls for the creation of a congressional commission to officially investigate the adulteration of America's food supply with additives as well as the fluoridation of public water supplies.

Ideal Drinking Water
By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: Many people know white sugar and white flour are refined products, but what about distilled or otherwise "purified" water? Although deionization or reverse osmosis can remove potential pathogens, it also takes away the minerals found in "unrefined" sources of water that are so critical to human health. Possibly the most important of these minerals, Dr. Lee says, is calcium bicarbonate, a form of calcium that has the rare distinction of being easily absorbed by the human body. Other benefits such as natural bacterial antigens, which help build our immune system, and the absence of fluoride make natural, unrefined spring or well water the ideal drink for the human body. From Let's Live magazine, 1958.

Letter to Directors of American Academy of Nutrition
By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: Dr. Lee, writing on behalf of the Lee Foundation, urges the directors of the American Academy of Nutrition to adopt a Code of Principles. Among the principles he suggests are addressing, head on, controversial subjects such as the pasteurization of milk and fluoridation of water as well as actively countering the trend toward "counterfeit foods" such as corn syrup (glucose), hydrogenated foods, and artificial colors. This is Lee's public policy in a nutshell. 1957.

Letter to People of San Diego About Water Fluoridation
By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: In a time before fluoridation of water was commonplace, Dr. Lee was a leading opponent of such dangerous "mass medication," as he put it. In this open letter to the citizens of San Diego, Dr. Lee calls on residents to stop this "treatment by force" with a poison they would otherwise never tolerate in their food supply. Lee identifies processed foods, deficient in vitamins and minerals, as the real culprit behind tooth decay and points out that ironically the very food processors who created the cavity problem in America are the ones pushing water fluoridation on municipalities throughout the country. Publication date unknown.

The Pharmacology of Fluoride
By Gustav Wm. Rapp, PhD
Summary: A 14-page paper on fluorine and its effects in the human body. "All cells are affected by fluoride to a greater or lesser degree," writes Dr. Rapp. "While most of the interest in fluoride as a drug has centered upon its activity on oral structures, there are many other parts of the human body that feel [its] effects [including] the bones...skin, hair, viscera, circulatory system, and genito-urinary system." Scientifically sound, the author's discussion raises many troubling questions. From The Bur magazine. Reprint 53, 1950.

Pure Food and Pure Fraud
By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: Dr. Royal Lee recognizes the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Food and Drug Administration (originally called the Bureau of Chemistry) by citing the failure of its mission to protect the food supply from nutritional destruction. He recalls the noble vision of its founder, Dr. Harvey Wiley, who fought for decades to create the agency, only to see it usurped by powerful business and political interests. Lee writes, "In the midst of public praise for Wiley's pioneering and public thanksgiving over the (supposed) fact that foods, drugs and cosmetics are pure and truly labeled, we are likely to overlook the way in which Wiley's work has been perverted. We may remain ignorant of the way in which the FDA protects the food, drug and cosmetic industries, and the medical monopoly, at the expense of the public it is supposed to serve. We may forget that Wiley himself was ousted for trying to stand up against these powerful interests." This is a rich historical document alerting the American people to a matter on which they had been—and continue to be—intentionally and systematically deceived. From the periodical Liberation, 1957.
