Its profits depend on the patentability of drugs, rendering this industry the most profitable industry on planet Earth. In contrast, the prevention and eradication of any disease significantly reduces or totally eliminates the markets for pharmaceutical drugs. The governments of entire nations are manipulated or even run by lobbyists and for- mer executives of the pharmaceutical industry. For decades, the legislation of entire nations has been corrupted and abused to promote this multitrillion-dollar "business with disease", thereby risking the health and lives of hundreds of millions of innocent patients and people. A precondition for the rise of the pharmaceutical industry as a successful investment business is the elimination of competition from safe and natural therapies, because these are not patentable and their profit margins are small. In addition, these natural therapies can effectively help prevent and eliminate diseases because of their essential roles in cellular metabolism. As a result of the systematic elimination of natural health therapies and the takeover of the healthcare systems in most countries of the world, the pharma- ceutical industry has brought millions of people and almost all nations into dependency upon its investment business.

Furthermore, there is signif- icant experimental evidence that fluoride induces a dose-related incidence of bone cancer in rats. This is further supported by epidemiological studies incriminating fluo- ride and bone cancer in young men. "It should further be noted that fluoride is currently added to the water supply of about 60% of the US population. This is in sharp contrast to only 2% of the European population, which has much lower rates of dental caries."
