Newcastle protest letter
Fluoridation has a frightening potential for long-term damage
WHAT'S in your drinking water? Well, that depends on which area of the country you live in. Newcastle has an added ingredient called Hexafluorosilicic Acid, more commonly known to you and I as artificial fluoride.
I say artificial because it is certainly not natural, and because it is an extremely toxic corrosive acid which contains contaminates of mercury, cadmium and lead to name but a few.The acid is purchased with taxpayers' money (around £73,000 a year) by the Primary Care Trust/Strategic Health Authority and dumped into our water under the assumption that it will help maintain healthy teeth.Did they ask our permission? No.This issue may seem fairly innocuous but I believe the potential for long-term damage is frightening.
The Government acknowledges that around 48% of people living in Newcastle have been over-exposed to fluoride - this can be seen in the mottling of their teeth.What cannot be seen is the damage to their bones!This acid has been found to cause a rare bone cancer in boys - eight times higher in areas such as Newcastle than the National average.It also affects the thyroid gland causing weight gain and other health problems.Finally, it has been found to cause brain damage as the acid attaches to the lead and aluminium and becomes absorbed into the brain. In the USA, they found higher levels of criminal behaviour in fluoridated areas.One would assume that these toxic ingredients would have been safety tested for human consumption.
The fact is they are poisons and under the name of fluoride have been added to our water without any such tests.This may be the reason why the water companies have been given total legal exemption from penalties or liabilities by the Government for putting this substance in our water.If it is safe why the need for legal protection?
You may believe that bottled water is the answer! Unfortunately your body absorbs these toxins when you shower, as does your food if you cook or clean in it.Water filters have no effect on this particular acid - it is quite simply unavoidable.
You the public can do something. Tell the water company your concerns as well as your MPs - lobby the health authority!
If we don't stop it now what will be next?
