To Fluoridate or NOT?

1. To Fluoridate or NOT? • Is this a question of who is the cleverest & therefore who wins the debate – the PRO’s or the CON’s? OR • Is it Too Late/Coup de Grâce/Fête Accompli(If you think so you shouldn’t be here. Remember the smallest flame at night) OR • Is this a more vital issue concerning OUR RIGHTS?

2. Freedom- Do we Have Rights Freedom & a Choice? • What is Freedom “A state of liberty where an individual or group does not have unreasonable external restraints or persuasions applied to them by another individual or group” Churchill – The Freedom Fighter • “Have our rights & our freedom been invaded? YES! Do we Consent? NO ! The decision to Fluoridate our water supply is totally dictatorial and I for one would not hesitate to sue the Queensland Government if I was one of the unfortunate people to suffer a serious side effect as a consequence of fluoridation”. Dr. Michael Tait

3. Can we learn from History? The desire to Control –Absolute Power is absolute Control which is absolutely CORRUPT • 1877 Nathan Rothschild “I care not what power controls the (The founder of the IMF) people, for if I control their money (130 years ago!) supply, then I control their Empire” • Monsanto “If I control your food supply then I (GM foods founders)control your Nations” • 2008 Qld Gov “I don’t care what you say, because we are doing it” This is effectively saying “I care not what you say. If I control your water supply then I control you”

4. Should We Conform & What does “To Conform” Mean? • STARTLING RESEARCH: To conform to a dictator because you have been at school together or belong to the same club or to the same social class sounds ridiculous & is extremely dangerous. Yet more freedom has been lost during this century through this reason for conforming, than through the actions of the dictators themselves!! • Immediately after World War 11 a Court was assembled in Nuremburg for charging top ranking German military officers & scientists. The charge was “medical experimentation on people against their wish”. All were found guilty & some were executed.

5. So is Forcing Fluoride on us Against our Will Any Different? • Dr. Moolenburgh in the Netherlands stated that fluoridation is not acceptable in many European countries which had been occupied by the Nazis. Why? Because the people were quick to see the true nature of a totalitarian program & they formed "resistance" groups against fluoridation like the "resistance" to the Nazis in the 1940’s.  • I also ask “What next after Fluoride?” ?Microchips • Our Rights - If Fluoridation is introduced it totally disregards the Nuremberg Code of Medical Practice and the perpetrators should be reported and charged at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

6. The Nuremberg Code (1947) • We must be convinced by the evidence before us that medical experiments conducted on human beings, are kept within well-defined bounds & must conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society & they can not be procured by any other methods. Everyone agrees however that the basic principles of experimentation must satisfy the following moral, ethical and legal concepts: • The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision

7. What ARE our RIGHTS? • It is obvious that our rights are being threatened by the dictatorial attitude of the government on the fluoridation issue – without our consultation or after poor consultation. Some of the fundamental questions about the fluoridation of public water supplies are ethical in nature: • 1. Is medication with an uncontrolled dose wrong? • 2. Is compulsory mass medication wrong? • 3. Is fluoridation right if its risks are less than its benefits? • 4. Is this medication or experimentation?

8. Facts – Existing Global Experience • Germany: "Generally, in Germany fluoridation of drinking water is forbidden. The relevant German law allows some exceptions only on application. The argument of the Federal Ministry of Health against a general permission of fluoridation of drinking water is the problematic ethics of compulsory medication." • France: "Fluoride chemicals are not included in the list of 'chemicals for drinking water treatment'. This is due to ethical as well as medical considerations." • Belgium: "The addition of Fluoride to water treatment has never been used and will never be used in the future. The main reason for this is that it is not the Governments task to deliver medicinal treatment to people. This is the sole responsibility of Health Services." • Denmark: According to the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy, toxic fluorides have never been added to the public water supplies. Consequently, no Danish city has ever been fluoridated.

9. Global Experience 2 • Sweden: Drinking water fluoridation is not allowed in Sweden... “No new scientific documentation or changes that could alter the conclusions of the Commission have been demonstrated” • Associate Editor of the British Medical Journal, Douglas Carnall, stated: “Professionals who propose compulsory preventive measures for a whole population have a different weight of responsibility on their shoulders, than those who respond to the requests of individuals for help. Previously neutral on the issue, I am now persuaded by the arguments that those who wish to take fluoride (like me) had better get it from toothpaste rather than the water supply”

10. Global Experience 3 • Czech Republic:"Since 1993, drinking water has not been treated with fluoride throughout the Czech Republic for the following reasons: (a) UNECONOMICAL-only 0.54% of the water treated is used for drinking, the remainder is employed for hygiene etc. Furthermore, an increasing amount of consumers (particularly children) are using bottled water for drinking (underground water which usually contains fluorine) • (b) UNECOLOGICAL It is an environmental load by a foreign substance. • (c) UNETHICALbecause it is "forced medication” • (d) TOXILOGICALLY & physiologically debatable. Fluoridation represents an untargeted form of supplementation which disregards actual individual intake and requirements and may lead to excessive health-threatening intake in certain population groups.

11. Side Effects The 3 Stages of Fluorosis • Phase 1: sporadic pain; stiffness of joints; osteosclerosis of pelvis and vertebral column • Phase 2: chronic joint pain; arthritic symptoms; slight calcification of ligaments; increased osteosclerosis/cancellous bones; with/without osteoporosis of long bones. • Phase 3: Crippling Skeletal Fluorosis: limitation of joint movement; calcification of ligaments/neck and vertebral column; crippling deformities of spine and major joints; muscle wasting; neurological defects/ compression of spinal cord

13. 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoride • No disease has ever been linked to fluoride deficiency • Fluoridation is not necessary • A trial of 39,000 children showed no decay difference • Stopping the use of Fluoride did not result in > decay • Family income is a > important factor than Fluoride • Decay incidence was decreasing before Fluoride use! • Effects are Topical not Systemic so why swallow it? Toothpaste • FDA has never approved Fluoride for systemic use • 48% of children using Fluoride suffer from Fluorosis

14. Fluorosis means overdosing with Fluoride • No benefits only risks for infants ingesting Fluoride • Fluoride accumulates – 50% is retained by bones • It inhibits a number of enzyme actions • Aluminum-fluoride combination interferes with many hormonal and some neurochemical signals • It is mutagenic & can interfere with DNA repair • Combines with Mg & Calcium leading to depletion • Research revealed kidney & brain damage (mice) • The Environmental Protection Agency warned about the high potential neurotoxicity effects

15. Many reports confirm Brain Damage from Fluoride! • Five China studies showed IQ lowering in children • Jennifer Luke Ph.D Confirmed accumulation effects • USA studies confirm decrease in Thyroid function • Skeletal fluorosis mimics arthritis & can be missed • High doses resulted in an > in bone fractures • 11/19 studies showed >in hip fractures in the elderly • There may be > tendency to bone liver & oral cancer • New Jersey study ? 6X risk bone cancer > young men

16. Fluoridation programs are very poorly monitored • Research reveals sperm & fertility damage. I urge you to do a search for “The disappearing Male” • It is not possible to monitor an individuals intake once Fluoride is in the water supply • It’s unethical – we’re not asked for informed consent • Individual rights (v) majority rule means a referendum is unnecessary. • 1% of individuals are highly sensitive to Fluoride • The elderly, diabetics & kidney disease patients are vulnerable to toxic effects • The poor or malnourished are also very vulnerable • The real oral health CRISIS is poverty NOT Fluoride

17. In 2000 a British Government Review could give no fluoridation trial a grade A classification. NONE • USA introduced Fluoridation in 1950 with no trials! • Fluoride does not reduce pit & fissure decay. • 85% of teeth with pits & fissures dental decay! • Fluoride in USA comes from hazardous wastes • These wastes have NOT been tested – only pharmaceutical grades have been tested • There is an > uptake of lead in children on Fluoride • 1 teaspoon of Sodium Fluoride will kill an adult

18. 46 14 Nobel Laureates won’t endorse Fluoridation • Nobel Laureate in Medicine 2000: “I am quite convinced that water fluoridation, in a not-too-distant future, will be consigned to medical history” • American College of Toxicology. “No credible people support the fluorophobics' view.” • Many scientists, doctors and dentists who have spoken out publicly on this issue have been subjected to censorship and intimidation. • The Union representing the scientists at US EPA headquarters “The requirement for every man, woman and child in America to ingest Fluoride borders on criminal behaviour on the part of the government.“

19. Is This Enough to say NO FLUORIDE? NO! HERE’S MORE…. • Question -What is the source of the Fluoride • Answer – Japan & European Countries • Question – Why do they pay us to take their Fluoride • Answer – Because we are a dumping ground for waste! • Question – Is this a Meaningful Health Issue • Answer – Most definitely NOT. It is an unfortunate truth that most major international issues: wars, finance (IMF & Federal Reserve) and Health (FDA Big Pharma etc) are concerns of greed and power.

20. Life is Always a Matter of Choices • What do YOU want to do? FIGHT IT • Approach/Fight the Government • Check your Constitutional Rights • Take it The Hague AVOID IT • Don’t drink the Water – Use Tanks • Investigate an efficient filter system http://www.pwgazette.com/problemfluoride.htm (distillation, reverse osmosis, & filtration through a special fluoride/arsenic reduction medium called activated alumina)
