Dear All,

Michael Meacher, former UK Minister of the Enivronment, in an article published in the UK Guardian yesterday, makes very clear the despicable role the British government and its civil servants played in ignoring - for 18 years - the plight of citizens poisoned in the Camelford incident, where 20 tons […]

Dear All,

As fate would have it, two related things happened to me yesterday within a couple of hours of one another. I always take such “coincidences” seriously!

The first event is that I watched a DVD sent to me by Dr. David Kennedy. He warned me that it would knock my socks […]

Dear All,

Below is a letter I emailed to the Rutland Herald making a couple of corrections to my op-ed piece written in response to Chuck Gregory’s personal attack on me and others. To my amazement I have been informed that Chuck Gregory works for the Vermont Department of Health!

In my op-ed […]

Dear All,

In today’s Poughkeepsie Journal (see below) there is a report that the Dutchess County Board of Health today will consider a proposal to expand fluoridation of public drinking water. This has all the hall marks of a rubber stamp approval. We may not be able to influence these board members […]

Dear All,

The following article which appeared in yesterday’s edition of the Argus, the local newspaper for Brighton & Hove in Susesx, UK, brought me a great deal of pleasure, because I spent my childhood in Brighton. I have sent in a letter to this paper congratulating Claire Truscott on her balanced […]

Dear All,

Here is an inspiring story from the UK (see below). But isn’t it disappointing that an issue which is so important to our children’s health is being left to pensioners? Where are the doctors and dentists in Sheffield? Surely there are some who can read? What price the British Dental […]

Dear All,

For those of you who, like me, are incensed by the way that officials from the CDC, ADA and state Health Departments are “spinning” the NRC report to suggest that there is no relation with its findings and water fluoridation, here is another piece of ammunition from the US EPA […]

The article below from the Waikato Times has been forwarded to us by Caren McConnell of FAN NZ. It describes last night’s meeting in Hamilton, NZ where citizens there have the chance to vote fluoride out of their water in a postal ballot running from April 21 to May […]

Dear All,

One way or another, news items about the NRC report; Bassin’s thesis and the Douglass cover-up are appearing in the media in many places. In some cases this is coming from journalists, in others it is coming from media releases and in still others it is coming from letters to […]

Dear All,

Jason Krueger, our latest recruit on the National Dream Team, sent me an email last Monday in which he was outraged at an insulting email he had received from someone who describes himself as “Health Eductor” for the Drinking Water Protection (department) of the Minnesota Department of Health.

Yesterday, I received an advance copy of the paperback edition of Chris Bryson’s book “The Fluoride Deception.” This book comes with a splendid new introduction that focuses on the recent developments surrounding fluoride and osteosarcoma. It covers Bassin’s thesis; the Douglass cover up; the EPA union call for a moratorium […]

Dear Editor,

Chuck Gregory (letter, April 18) is clutching at straws if he thinks that he can dismiss Bassin’s findings on fluoridation and osteosarcoma by claiming […]

Dear All,

You might wonder why this article (printed below) which appeared in today’s The Independent (UK) on the Camelford scandal is relevant to those concerned about fluoride. There are several points of contact.

1) Accidents happen. This accident happened in Camelford when 20 tons of aluminum sulfate was dumped in the wrong […]

Dear All,

We received this email (below) from Bernie Miltenberger from Cumberland, Maryland. Encouraged by his success at getting a long commentary on fluoridation into a previously hostile paper, he urges all folks in the network to get letters into their local papers, using both the NRC report and the publication of […]

The current Bassin and new NRC reports are threatening local government’s position on fluoridation.
You are cordially invited to our April meeting!
Date: April 15th
Time: 10am-12pm

The following extraordinary letter appeared in today’s Rutland Herald. Needless to say I will be replying to it. Meanwhile, does anyone have any idea who Chuck Gregory is?

David McRae from Geelong, Victoria, Australia got a letter into today’s Melbourne Age - Melbourne’s most important newspaper.  Although this paper starves its readers of serious analysis of the fluoridation issue, it does occcasionally let a letter in on the subject. Melbourne has been fluoridated since the 1970’s but only […]
