Background of the hypothesis
Asylum seekers and immigrants in Scandinavia are admitted to mental hospitals for psychotic disorders up to ten times more frequently than native Scandinavians [1], [2] and [3]. The high frequency of psychosis among immigrants is usually explained as a result of traumatic experiences in their countries of origin, problems with adapting to a new culture, and the fact that immigrants are often socially underprivileged [4] and [5].
The frequency of psychotic disor
Introduction
Generally about half of the fluoride absorbed is deposited in bone. It was found in Finland (1) that the fluoridation of a water supply greatly increased the rate of fluoride accumulation in bone, from a mean of 11 ppm annually in low-fluoride areas to a mean of 44 ppm in the fluoridated people. In a warmer climate with a very 'soft' water supply the rate of increase may be more rapid. In a pilot study in Melbourne (2) the annual fluoride concentration increase in alveolar bone in
Introduction
In 1987, Moolenburgh (1) stated: 'I am absolutely convinced that fluoride is an immune suppressive substance.' He came to that conclusion following double-blind clinical tests which showed that there were many adverse reactions resulting from drinking fluoridated water.
In 1987, Sutton (2) advanced the hypothesis that, as a result of the normal resorption of bone containing a high concentration of fluoride (which forms in those who habitually drink fluoridated water) (3), the rele
