F.A.N. Newsletter
Last week, the fluoridation debate we’ve
all been waiting for finally occurred. FAN Senior Advisor, Paul Connett, PhD,
and new FAN Director, Bill Osmunson, DDS, faced-offed
against pro-fluoridation dentists, Steven Slott and Johnny Johnson, representing
the American Fluoridation Society. The debate took place in Cortland, NY at the
request of the Mayor, while the council is considering
state grants to study the implementation of
fluoridation.
Those of you who read and comment on any fluoridation articles online will already be familiar with Johnny Johnson and Steven Slott. They’re both notorious for posting thousands of pro-fluoridation comments on anything fluoride-related on the internet. Meanwhile, in person they were less than impressive, unable to cite even a single primary study proving fluoridation's safety or effectiveness. Click the picture below to watch:
FAN’s New Director
We are happy to announce that Bill Osmunson, DDS, MPH, has kindly agreed to act as interim director of FAN on a pro bono basis to replace Michael Connett, who has decided to return to practicing law. Michael will continue to provide crucial work for FAN on a voluntary basis.
Dr. Osmunson--a general and cosmetic dentist--has been a long-time opponent of fluoridation, FAN advisor, campaign leader, and spokesperson for the movement. He has provided testimony before dozens--if not hundreds--of boards, councils, and legislative bodies. He has also been featured in a number of videos, several of which you can watch below and share:
The audio is now available for those who missed the September International Fluoride Free Teleconference held this past Saturday. The call featured fluoride-free campaigners from the U.S. and New Zealand who are currently working to influence fluoridation policy by running for office. Listen as they share how they got their names on the ballots and how they plan to win their elections. This call is perfect for any campaigners considering a run for office:

Connett Speaking at Health Conference -- Paul will be giving a 90-minute
presentation at the "Real Truth About Health Conference" currently being held in
Orlando, Florida. The talk will be given at 11 am EDT onWednesday, Sept 14,
2016. The title of the talk is "Getting Ten Toxics out of Our Lives." You
will not be surprised with one of the toxins that Paul wishes to see the end of,
but you might be with some of the others. Paul takes advantage of this very
broad topic to plunder some of the science he has examined in connection with
his 31 year battle with waste incineration and the promotion of Zero Waste
around the world.
- Mr. Fluoride Music Video -- Check out the great music video for Leslie Thresher's fluoridation campaign song, which she originally sang before government officials in NY who were planning to fund fluoridation using funds from medicaid.
