MEDICINE OR POISON?
If an infant were drip-fed arsenic in small quantities every day of his life, it would, of course, be child-abuse or even murder. While our children will not be force-fed arsenic, they will, however, be force-fed something EQUALLY as poisonous. Arsenic […]

In a conversation with Almaz Mequanint she explained to us how people she spoke to in Wonji/Ethiopia prefers to get AIDS over skeletal fluorosis:
“I observed many fluoride victims who have dental & skeletal flourosis who are paralyzed for over 30 years. It was a horrible experience to hear from Wonji victims referring to have aids […]

Despite dental pressure, 99% of western continental Europe has rejected, banned, or stopped fluoridation due to environmental, health, legal, or ethical concerns
Only about 5% of the world population is fluoridated and more than 50% of these people live in North America. The Danish Minister of Environment recommended against fluoridation in 1977 because “no adequate studies […]

Dear All,
Usually when I visit countries which fluoridate their water like Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the UK, the proponents run for the hills. Not so in Israel – while declining a formal debate – I had three meetings where they made an appearance and I […]

Dear All,
First some good news. The Irish green party held a press conference today announcing its opposition to fluoridation and calling for a halt to the practice in Ireland. If the Greens can do this in Ireland, the UK and NZ, why are they so quiet in the […]

Dear All,
Wonderful news this morning from Don Church who writes to tell us (see email below) that in a 64% turnout, voters in Ashburton have rejected the push to refluoridate their water. The vote went 55% to 45%. To say that no one deserved this victory more […]

Dear All,
A short while ago I received an urgent request for help from Jimmy Siles, our FAN Mobilization Team representative for Quebec City. We could be in for big breakthrough in Quebec, if Quebec City halts fluoridation, or we could be in for a great disappointment, if the city expands their […]

Dear All,

I have been so preoccupied with preparations for the FAN conference which starts today and our efforts to stop the use of sulfury fluoride (deadline for comments August 4) that I have tended to neglect some of the news from other countries. Here, however are two articles from Australia. First, […]

Dear All,

On the eve of the FAN conference (details http://www.FluorideAction.net) there is an excellent article on water fluoridation from Toronto, which mentions the conference and quotes four people who will be attending (myself, Hardy Limeback, Bill Hirzy and Aliss Terprstra). The article appeared in the paper NOW, which is one of Toronto’s […]

Sorry for email overload but this one is time sensitive. I have just received the message below from Giles Parent, co-author of a book entitled “Fluoridation: An Autopsy of a Scientific Error”. The book is in French but will soon be translated into English. The co-authors are Pierre Morin, PhD and […]

Dear All,

We are all very familiar with the self-serving spin dished up by the ADA (American Dental Assocation) and that other ADA (Australian Dental Association) and now comes news of another ADA willing to sell our health down the river for the ever important buck - the American Diabetes Association.

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,

Several times I have referred readers to a very frustrating meeting I had in Melbourne, Australia, in 2004, with Dr. Robert Hall, the Chief Health Officer for the state of Victoria. Talking to Dr. Hall is like having a conversation with a compact disc. No matter what one says he […]

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 […]

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 […]

Below I have printed out the latest Google News Alert on Elise Bassin’s study on fluoridation and osteosarcoma. The story has gone as far as Romania and China. Please note that item 5 is a Media Release from NYSCOF@aol.com, which provides a very helpful chronology on concerns about a possible […]

The news of Bassin’s recently published article is getting noticed around the world.

Meanwhile, many letters on this issue -as well as the NRC […]

Dear All,

Over the last few days we have learned three things about the British Fluoridation Society:

1) It continues to propagate the false information that Chester Douglas’s data shows no relationship between osteosarcoma and fluoridation even though his own graduate student’s PhD thesis showed exactly the opposite. Here is a quote […]

In the article below we are told that Colonel Arnold, the Mid-Western Regional Council Administrator, for New South Wales ruled that “the potential benefits  (of fluoridation) outweighed the objections raised by fluoride opponents.”

Did he indeed? Does the Colonel have a medical degree? Did he read the scientific literature himself or […]
