Australia being forced to swallow it

Fluoride being forced on us
THE threatened, forcible fluoridation of Wodonga and Wangaratta water supplies raises serious questions. My discussions with angry people from Wodonga, Ballarat, Horsham, Gippsland and Geelong all raise the same concerns. Will there be a referendum first? The Government says no, because people reject fluoridation once they learn more about it. Will the people who experience health problems from the extra fluoride in their system be compensated will they get free, clean water provided? When Holland abandoned fluoridation in 1976 it was because a medical team conducted double blind trials on water consumers and found that 5 per cent experienced stomach pains of varying degrees, mouth ulcers, skin rashes, migraine-like pain, worsening of allergies, joint pain or other symptoms. They could be cured, usually in days, by providing them with non-fluoridated water for all their needs. But in a normal life you cannot avoid fluoride once it is in the water.
Even if you spend a lot of money on filters or bottled water you will drink tea, coffee or cooking in cafes, other homes or the workplace. You get fluoridated every time, no matter how sick it makes you. Australian governments have flatly refused to do proper studies on fluoride victims, despite a direction to do so from the National Health and Medical Research Council in 1991. Forcing a medication into peoples bodies, no matter how well intentioned a health minister may be, has no place in a free, democratic society.

Fight fluoridation, you can do it. A number of US cities have just opposed fluoridation and have been winning.
