Ntp Technical Report On The Toxicology And Carcinogenesis Studies Of Sodium Fluoride Cas No 7682 49 4 In F344 N Rats And B6c3f1 Drinking Water Studies

Chromium is a metal that exists in a variety of valence states, depending on surrounding conditions and what other atoms it is bound to. The most stable forms are metallic chromium, trivalent chromium (chromium III), and hexavalent chromium (chromium VI). Chromium VI has been shown to cause cancer when inhaled in the air. Because compounds containing chromium VI occur as contaminants in drinking water, scientists studied the effects of sodium dichromate dihydrate (SDD) in drinking water on rats and mice to identify potential toxic or cancer-related hazards. Results showed that rats exposed to SDD had carcinomas of the mouth, but none occurred in the control rats. Mice receiving SDD had greatly increased rates of cancer of the small intestine. Illus.

In the case of water fluoridation, the chemicals used to fluoridate the water that more than 180 million people drink each day are not pharmaceutical grade, but rather hazardous waste products of the phosphate fertilizer industry; it is illegal to dump them into rivers and lakes or release them into the atmosphere. And water fluoridation is a prime example of one of the worst medical practices possible-forced medication with no control over the dose or who gets it. Perhaps most shocking of all, it is not subject to any federal regulation. At once painstakingly-documented and also highly-readable, The Case Against Fluoride brings new research to light, including links between fluoride and harm to the brain, bones, and kidneys, and argues that while there is possible value in topical applications like brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, the evidence that swallowing fluoride reduces tooth decay is surprisingly weak.

Bromochloroacetic acid is a water disinfection by-product. Bromochloroacetic acid was nominated for toxicity and carcinogenicity studies in rats and mice because of widespread human exposure and because a related dihaloacetate, dichloroacetate, was found to be carcinogenic to the liver of rats and mice. Drinking water was selected as the route of exposure to mimic human exposure to this chemical. Male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice were exposed to bromochloroacetic acid (greater than 95% pure) in drinking water for 2 weeks, 3 months, or 2 years. Genetic toxicology studies were conducted in ¿Salmonella typhimurium,¿ ¿Escherichia coli,¿ and peripheral blood erythrocytes of exposed mice. Illustrations.

This book is the definitive guide for oncologists, general medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals with an interest in integrative oncology. Guiding you on how to conduct the “ultimate consultation” from an integrative medicine perspective, this text is a valuable educational tool, presenting the latest evidence-based approaches to managing the cancer patient, as well as anecdotes and practical recommendations from Dr. Sali’s decades of clinical experience as a leading expert in integrative oncology. Topics include the role of mind-body medicine in cancer, stress reduction, diet, sleep, sunshine and Vitamin D, exercise, vitamins and other supplements, supportive complementary medicines including Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, and innovative investigative and treatment technologies. Written by two clinicians who are also educators and researchers, A Clinician's Guide to Integrative Oncology provides practical, evidence-based information and patient advice that clinicians can put into practice immediately.
