UK Against Fluoridation

Dear All,
We updated the website yesterday. There have been several extremely important developments on the fluoridation front that appear to have passed almost unnoticed by the rest of the anti-fluoridation community. So it's worth your while checking out the front page stories and reading the Commentaries linked to them.- it's not all doom and gloom, as many seem to think!

Fluoride IS a medicine and its use IS illegal. Doug 's work on the legal aspects of the use of fluoride to medicate the public has been reviewed in a major article in the journal Medical Law International by Dr David Shaw, Lecturer in Ethics in Dentistry at Glasgow University.This examines European Community and English law and concludes that, as Lord Jauncey ruled thirty years ago, fluoridated water is a medicine. Dr Shaw concludes that the continued use of water fluoridation relies entirely on 'the legal fiction that is it not a medicinal product' - exactly as Doug said over a decade ago.

This effectively challenges all existing and proposed future (South Central SHA take notice!) use of this illegal form of mass medication. Coming from a recognised expert in medical ethics from within a leading university School of Dentistry - just how much more amunition do you need to force the fluoridation fanatics to cease their criminal recommendation of this practice?

Fluoride may play a part in the epidemic of dementia. Alzheimer's Disease now affects around one person in five over the age of 80 years. A recent review of the relationship between aluminium and dementia concludes that Alzheimer's Disease is not simply 'associated' with aluminium, but is actually caused by it. A major source of this aluminium is the residual aluminium in virtually all treated municipal drinking water. Fluoride enhances aluminium uptake and transportation to the brain, so adding fluoride to supposedly 'safe' drinking water with even only traces of aluminium is the height of medical irresponsibility.

Doug has a long and intimate familiarity with the toxicity of aluminium, and has summarised the recent evidence. This is of such critical importance that the most serious medical implications of fluoridation must now no longer be be the prevalence of conditions such as dental fluorosis - dementia is a devastating condition, and is now an exploding health crisis, and it is predicted to triple within thirty years. Doug has indicated what must be done, so read his commentary and then take it to your local Council and demand that the use of both aluminium and fluoride in drinking water be stopped immediately.

(As if this were not enough, aluminium is also causing another equally severe health crisis - yes, really - and Doug has provided a summary of that as well. It really is time to sit up, take notice, and then take action - both of these devastating health epidemics affect all of us.)

Oshlack v Rous Water - the Australian case. The verdict in the judicial review of Rous Water's plan to start fluoridation has at last been released, and Oshlack's case has been rejected. However, there will now be an appeal to the Supreme Court on legal grounds - read our comments on how this case should now be conducted to ensure success.

Proposed fluoridation in Northern Ireland. Edwin Poots' potty idea to introduce fluoridation to the Six Counties has no legal authority, and we have told him so in no uncertain manner! Read our letter to him (but much more importantly, copied to real political heavyweights) and see how the wind blows across the Irish Sea.

It's all on our web site at www.ukcaf.org - have a good read, and pass the news on to your friends!.

Liz Vaughan.
