Doctor Aims Fire At Fluoridation
"Hardly any medical editor is free to publish articles contrary to fluoridation," said Dr. George L. Waldbott at the Minority Opinions Forum yesterday in the Sunflower Room of the Kansas Union.
Dr. Waldbott, noted Detroit allergist, said he has had little success in having his 150 articles on the harmful effects of fluoridation published. He has written a book, "A Struggle With Titans" in which he tells his discoveries, and his fight to make them known.
He was then asked to begin research to see if the filter tip cigarette was less harmful. Although he found that the filter tip was equally harmful, he said this fact was never published.
IN 1923, DR. WALDBOTT came to the United States from Germany. He discovered that the disease, emphysema, could be caused from smoking, and wrote an article to this effect which appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1953.
Dr. Walbott became interested in fluoridation and began his research in 1953. Although he obtained medical evidence against fluoride, he said a member of the American Dental Association said the case of fluoride had been explored and there was no need for discrepancy at the present time.
DR. WALDBOTT SAID his articles containing medical evidence against fluoride have received the following responses from journals:
"Your paper deserves publicity but reviewers think this journal is not the appropriate place."
"To publish your paper would add fire to the heat of public emotion."
DR. WALDBOTT SAID fluoride compounds pollute the air and poison animals, humans, and vegetation. "They are toxic and can damage health."
He said that physicians who oppose fluoridation are often subjected to threats and intimidations by local health officials. He added their practices suffered and they faced being publicly denounced.
"Fluoride damage has been apparent for years in Italy, which is volcanic and has natural fluoride," he said.
WALDBOTT SAID he was incorrectly identified with various groups, such as the Communist Party, the Ku Klux Klan, and the John Birch Society because of his views on fluoridation.
Avery and Wescoe Will Speak at Fete
Proving that a long tradition is not necessary for success, 500 persons are expected to turn out Friday evening for the Third Annual Greater Kansas City Jayhawk Festival in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Festival—which has become the largest off-campus gathering of KU alumni, students and friends of the year—was begun in 1962 by Richard L. Harkness, a 1928 KU graduate and nationally known news commentator.
The 1963 meeting was cancelled because of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
of President John F. Kennedy.
Governor William H. Avery, a 1934 KU graduate, and Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe will be featured speakers.
EAT TIGER MEAT-GO HAWKS!
Annually scheduled for the night before one of the season's most important football games, the affair usually attracts Jayhawk fans from a large area.
Jack Mitchell, KU football coach, was scheduled to speak but cancelled so that he could accompany the football team to Topeka for an overnight stay prior to the KU-MU game in Memorial Stadium on Saturday. A pre-taped statement by Mitchell will be played in his absence.
Another feature of the affair is the awarding of a citation to "the person or persons in Kansas City judged to have made the greatest contribution to the welfare of the University through private philanthropy."
A social hour beginning at 6:30 p.m. and dinner will precede the speakers.
The "Friends of KU" citation—provided by the Endowment Association and the University—was given to the late Maurice and Mrs. Breidenthal Sr., in 1964.
The National Guard Armory—just off the 18th Street Trafficway at Ridge Road—will host the $3.50 a person meeting.
