Dear All,
Before we get to the piece below on “keeping an open mind”, I have some very exciting news to report on the fundraising for FAN’s fluoridation fighting fund for 2007. Yesterday was like getting two Christmas days in a row!

Dear All,
As of 5:00 pm (EST) today, the Wal-Mart online petition reached 1000. Thanks everyone for helping us meet this mini-goal before December 31. Congratulations to Catherine Helland of Texas for providing signature 1000.

The new State totals are listed below.
Now will you consider helping us meet our other mini-goal: to raise $10,000 […]

Dear All,
Just back from yet another trip to Italy on waste matters. While traveling I tried to keep in touch via the internet on fluoride developments. I was thrilled to see that despite strong efforts by the pro-fluoridation lobby, officials in both Juneau, Alaska and Martin County, Florida have stood firm and […]

Dear All,
The news media are reporting the breaking story about Sir Richard Doll, probably the most eminent epidemiologist in the world. He died last year.
Google News has dozens of news articles on this story.  But start with this comprehensive report from the organization (Injury Watch) which dug up the documents and seems […]

December 8, 2006
Dear All,
As hoped for, there is some exciting news to report from Tennessee. A physician in the State Legislature, Dr. Joey Hensley, has sent a letter to over 200 water districts in the state advising them to end their water fluoridation programs.
In his letter, Dr. Hensley highlighted the recent ADA recommendation that […]

Dear All,
Before we get to the Wal-Mart campaign update, I have printed below two excellent letters to local newspapers which draw attention to the ADA’s ill-advertised recommendation to parents not to use fluoridated tap water to make up baby formula. The first - a short and crisp one - was sent in […]

Dear All,
It was an exhilarating experience yesterday watching the contributions coming in to our fighting fund for 2007. The challenge we were set by two generous supporters was to raise another $3000 to reach a mini-goal of $5000 by midnight Dec 31. If we were able to do this we would receive […]

I didn’t expect to send out another bulletin so soon, but we have just received another exciting challenge – so exciting in fact, that I had to share it with you right away.

December 26, 2006
Dear All,
Yesterday, FAN received an exciting Christmas gift of $5000 from an anonymous donor, but with a challenge attached. The donor will give this amount if we reach our mini-goal of $10,000 by December 31. Right now we have raised $2045 towards that goal. That means that we need to raise another […]

Dear All,
Sorry for the delay but my travel plans prevented me from distributing this Dec 12 press release at the time. However, being a little late, it makes a splendid Christmas eve gift to our readers. The press release announced the formation of an international alliance to keep fluoride away from babies […]

Before we get to the stories from Australia. Two quick updates:
1) Wal-Mart petition. The online petition to Wal-Mart now stands at 949, just 51 shy of our Dec 31 goal of 1000. If you know of any one or any group that might sign this, or generate more signatories, please send […]

Dear All,
In haste. Just received an electronic copy of this 1998 article from the Ecologist. Clearly, some people – including Martin Walker who wrote this piece - have not been shocked by the revelations about Doll. This article is long but very important, especially for those, like me, who see a lack […]

Dear All,
Before we get to the story from Australia, here are three brief items.
1) The number of online petitions sent to Wal-Mart now stands at 799, but has slowed to a trickle. We desperately need an influx of petitions. Is there anyone you haven’t thought of who might sign? Family members, friends, […]

Dear All,
In a few minutes I am on the road again – back on Sunday evening. But I have just received some terrific news from Dan Stockin from Tennessee. This news should become public very soon – keep checking our home page.
Meanwhile keep those petitions rolling into Wal-Mart. We have just passed […]

Dear All,
We believe that the ADA’s concession that fluoridated tap water NOT be used for making up baby formula has given us a renewed opportunity to get more national and international attention to this issue. We are doing this on two fronts:
1. We are encouraging people to write to their local and […]
