DVD: bulk orders
Before we get to the two major news items a quick note on ordering bulk orders of the DVD "Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation." Ellen will be out of town for 2 weeks starting this Friday, so if you want to have these bargain price DVDs to use before the second week in July, please get your orders in by email no later than this Thursday (June 18) mid-day EST.
UK: New Minister of Health is the former Vice President of the British Fluoridation Society!
As if people in the UK were not having a bad enough time fighting off bogus "public consultations" from unelected Strategic Health Authorities, the news gets worse (see past bulletins on Southampton). Andy Burnham, who was the vice president of the British Fluoridation Society, has been appointed as the new Secretary of State for Health. Immediately, he gave a presentation calling for the whole of Britain to be fluoridated. See
June 13, Speed up water fluoridation for children's sake, minister urges
June 15, Anger over Andy Burnham's fluoride link
We received this short email from Liz Vaughan and Doug Cross this morning. They give more details on Burnham and developments in Southampton:
We have reached a crucial point in the fluoridation issue in Southampton where a legal case regarding the consultation process has been announced and legal aid has been obtained by the person bringing the case against South Central SHA. 72% of the people in Southampton in a poll conducted by the SHA voted against fluoridation yet the SHA voted to impose fluoridation...
The Secretary of State for Health Andy Burnham was vice president of the British Fluoridation Society and was instrumental in proposing the inclusion of compulsory fluoridation in the 2003 Water Act. We checked on Friday with the British Fluoridation Society that he was still a vice president, by Friday evening he had resigned this position (vp of BFS) which he appears not to have included in his register of interests...

Californian Victory: Fluoride makes it into the TOP 9 of chemicals to be reviewed under Proposition 65.
So pat yourself on the back if you sent in comments to the OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment). This was a mighty victory and could well spell the end of fluoridation if the Carcinogen Identification Committee eventually rules that fluoride is a probable carcinogen. See excellent submissions from:

FAN: Chris Neurath and Paul Connett: Current epidemiological research on a link between fluoride and osteosarcoma (paper presented at the 2008 Fluoride conference in Toronto) at http://fluoridealert.org/neurath-2008b.pdf
FAN: Chris Neurath, Evidence supporting prioritizing fluoride for carcinogenicity hazard identification at http://fluoridealert.org/neurath-2009.may5.pdf
FAN: Paul Connett, Fluoride and osteosarcoma at http://fluoridealert.org/ca.prop65.connett.html
Meanwhile, there are efforts to do away with the OEHHA due to severe state budget deficits!
The Professionals' Statement
Meanwhile, the number of professionals signing the statement calling for an end to fluoridation worldwide has risen to 2530. The pace is definitely picking up, but we need many, many more. Please use the DVD to help us get more professional signers. It is easy to sign up: just go to http://www.FluorideAlert.org/professionals.statement.html
One nurse recently circulated an appeal to all her professional colleagues and within a few days had added 12 names! Do you have any email lists like that? If you haven't done so recently, please read through some of the names of the people who have signed. It will give you an idea of the wide range of professionals who have joined this important effort, and might give you some ideas about who else you could approach to sign.
Thanks for all you are doing to end this foolish practice.
