‘We have been poisoning ourselves’: has ice analysis revealed the truth about lead?
Exclusive: ice cores and records from the Black Death show lead entered the air from human activity – and scientists claim “natural background” levels are zero

Analysis of an ice cores taken from the Swiss Alps together with records dating from the time of the Black Death have revealed that there is no “natural” level of lead in the air, researchers have claimed.

Once in the body, lead is known to have harmful impacts on health, from behavioural to neurological, reproductive and cardiovascular effects.

With events such as volcanic eruptions releasing lead into the air, it was thought that even before industrial times there was a “natural background” level.

But now researchers say that level has been overestimated, finding that traces of lead trapped within the ice core fell to undetectable levels as the Black Death swept across medieval Europe, shutting down industry and killing more than a third of the continent’s population.

“We have for the first time a lead reading of what it would look like without humans on this part of the planet,” added Chris Loveluck, an archaeologist from the University of Nottingham and co-author of the research.

The findings suggest that even before the industrial revolution, atmospheric lead was primarily a result of human activity. As a result, they add, there is no “safe” background level of lead pollution.

“We have basically been poisoning ourselves for about 2,000 years,” said Alex More, a historian and climate scientist at Harvard University and another author of the study...

Water authority may remove fluoride from Johnstown water



Parents Must See! Melanin Rich Children & Fluoride

USA - Authority hears comments on benefits, risks of treating water with fluoride

A clear – and even – divide existed among the about two dozen customers who spoke at Tuesday’s public meeting concerning whether the Greater Johnstown Water Authority should stop putting fluoride into the water it supplies.
Pro-fluoridation speakers pointed to the chemical’s ability to help prevent tooth decay at a low cost. Opponents raised concerns about possible side effects and the practice of medicating an entire community.
The authority held the meeting, as required by the state Department of Environmental Protection, in order to get feedback before voting on the proposal, likely in two months. The water authority is considering removing the fluoride as a savings step, since continuing the practice could cost $400,000 to $500,000 over the next decade due to a $125,000 capital improvement to the chemical feed system and ongoing expense of purchasing fluoride.“ I thought we got to hear a lot of interesting points and well-made points on either side,” Michael Kerr, the authority’s resident manager, said.
“I think because of that the meeting held its intended purpose and gave us several good opinions on either side for the board of directors to consider when they make their final decision.”
At least two dentists spoke in favor of keeping fluoride in the system.
Dr. Robert Callahan, the mayor of Westmont, called fluoridation “safe” and “effective” and warned about possible ramifications if it is removed. “Johnstown has enough bad news without putting our health care back into the last century,” Callahan said.
Dr. Scott Little added: “The truth is water that has a fluoride level that’s regulated never did anything but benefit. That’s the truth of the research.”
Carol Morgan thinks “fluoride in the water system has only benefited the community.” Robert Morgan, Southmont Borough Council vice president, pointed out that, in his opinion, the area has more pressing issues to address, saying, “I think maybe, perhaps, instead of discussing this, we should discuss our heroin problem, which is much more detrimental to our youth and to our community than fluoride.”
The cost would amount to pennies per month for each of the authority’s approximately 22,000 customers. “I know that we live in an area where the cost of things has become so difficult, but I’m hoping that the board will look at these things and realize, too, people can die of toothaches,” Little said. “People can die. I have seen people die.”
But, by continuing to put fluoride into the water, the authority would spend money that it could use for other aspects of water treatment. “I think it’s irrelevant,” Kerr said. “I think it’s an issue of economies of scales. … I think dividing $500,000 by 22,000 and then dividing it by 12 (months), while that’s correct math, I think the more important thing to focus on is not the individual cost, but in order for the authority to stay financially viable we have to be responsible with the money that we spend.”
Some who want fluoride removed raised questions as to whether all the facts are known about its effect on humans. “Until the research is a hundred percent, we should not be doing it,” David Wadsworth said.
Dr. Joseph Taranto, a chiropractor and chairman of the Johnstown Housing Authority, asked if it is “right for our society to medicate its populace without informed consent?” He answered: “I don’t believe so. If I want it, I’ll go to the store and I’ll buy it. I think it’s a great thing, but I don’t think the government should force it on me.”
Melissa Weyandt supported removing fluoride and called for individuals to pay close attention to their dental care, while also teaching children to properly brush and floss. “We have to get the sugar out of our mouths,” Weyandt said. “We’ve got to stop drinking these sugary drinks. It’s not right for them to tell us we’re going to give you this medicine and you don’t have a choice.”

USA - Letter: Pushing back on fluoride

To the editor:
In the May 16 Gloucester Daily Times is a letter from Richard Gardner, MD, chastising Karen Spencer and her letter of May 10 (”Congressman should address fluoride issue”). While I respect the fact that he is a doctor, he has been woefully misled by the American Dental Association -- a powerful and influential lobby -- and the chemical industry.
To begin with, fewer than half the 351 cities and towns in the state fluoridate their drinking water, including Worcester (the second-largest city in Mass.) and Amesbury, which voted three years ago to stop fluoridating their drinking water. The countries of Europe do not fluoridate their drinking water and have the same rate of tooth decay as the United States. Dr. Gardner admits fluoride is a neurotoxin, failing to mention that even the U.S. government has recognized this, by lowering the concentration of fluoride they permit to be put in our drinking water two years ago. And the fluoride that’s put in our drinking water? In both Gloucester and Rockport, the water treatment plants dump 50 pound bags (labelled “Toxic,” Product of China, and with a skull and crossbones symbol on each bag to emphasize this) of Chinese industrial waste (sodium fluoride: a byproduct of the Chinese fertilizer industry) into the water you drink.
In the United States it is against federal law to “mass medicate” the public through drinking water supplies. Yet there is a loophole in this law. The government looks the other way on the issue of fluoride. Even Dr. Gardner will admit that if he drinks one glass of tap water per day, and I drink 10, I’m getting 10 times the dose of fluoride he is ingesting. Any reputable dentist will tell you that the most effective fluoride treatment for teeth is a “topical” application to the teeth, as in brushing your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste. And speaking of dentists...
In April of 2015 when the Cape Ann Fluoride Network was working to get removal of fluoride from drinking water supplies in both Gloucester and Rockport by getting the issue on the ballot in both communities, the Massachusetts Dental Association sent the retired president of the organization to personally attempt to persuade the one dentist in Gloucester who refused to “toe the party line” and sign a statement claiming fluoride is safe and good for you. This one dentist has accepted the fact that 14 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry and medicine have publicly stated that administering fluoride through drinking water supplies is both unsafe and unnecessary, with the individual use of fluoride toothpaste.
During this same period, the Rockport Board of Health held a “panel discussion” on the subject at the Carnegie Library in Rockport, with 100 percent of the panelists “pro fluoride.” Questions from the audience were only accepted if they were written in advance, and few were accepted. A woman asked, “If I’m breast feeding my baby and drinking fluoridated water, can the fluoride (a known toxin for infants that even Dr. Gardner will admit to) be transferred to my baby?” The lead panelist (a doctor from Boston, an “expert” on the subject of fluoride) admitted he didn’t know the answer.
The central issue in this whole (fluoride) debate was demonstrated by an elderly woman at the entrance to the library when we (members of the C.A.F.N.) were asking people as they entered the library for the discussion if they would like some literature on the opposing viewpoint. When I asked a particular elderly woman this very question, she responded rather indignantly, “I don’t care what you’re saying, I’m not listening! You got that?” That retort followed several weeks of harassment against myself and a woman volunteer at the Rockport transfer station by a particular member of the Rockport Board of Health, himself a doctor, who was personally outraged that we were offering information to educate the public on why Chinese industrial waste was not a good thing to be dumping in our drinking water.
Finally, Dr. Gardner, may I remind you that we once put lead in our gasoline and our house paints, and have learned over the years that this was not a good thing. Fourteen Nobel Prize winners in chemistry and medicine have publicly stated (written) that putting fluoride in our drinking water is neither safe nor a good idea, in spite of what the chemical industry or the ADA would have you believe. So thank you, Karen, for your letter. I’m putting my trust in education, rather than dogma.

David Icke Talks Vaccines with THE KiNK!

USA - Water Authority considers eliminating fluoride from city water supplies

The Greater Johnstown Water Authority is considering no longer adding fluoride to water it supplies to customers.
But, before making a decision, board members want to receive input from the community. So a public meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, beginning at 10 a.m., at the authority’s headquarters, located at 640 Franklin St.
“It’s a pretty hot topic,” said Michael Kerr, the facility’s resident manager.
“It’s pretty well split down the middle.”
Eliminating fluoride – a mineral used to fight tooth decay – would be a savings measure for the authority.
The organization needs to update its chemical feed system, which could cost around $125,000 and require extensive permitting, according to Kerr.
He also projects the authority will need to spend $400,000 or more on fluoride over the next decade.
“Considering the permitting work, the cost of replacing (the system), the yearly increase in chemical costs for the fluoride itself, the water authority board thought it would be good to consider the removal of fluoride from water,” Kerr said.
Dr. Alicia Risner-Bauman, a fluoridation spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Dental Association, described adding fluoride to water as an economically beneficial process.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study showed that – in communities with
more than 20,000 residents – for every $1 invested in putting fluoride into water there is a $38 savings in dental treatment costs.
“We know that water fluoridation has been proven effective to help fight dental decay,” Risner-Bauman said.
“That has been shown in very large studies in very large populations.”
She described fluoride as a tool in fighting the nation’s tooth decay “epidemic.”

Canada - City council to receive a report on fluoride in water

By Tyler Kula, Sarnia Observer
Council chambers at Sarnia city hall was bustling with talk about water fluoridation Monday, where a packed house listened as two doctors presented the pros and cons.
“At a baseline, the overwhelming majority of evidence is in favour of continuing water fluoridation,” said Dr. Sudit Ranade, Lambton County's medical officer of health
Ranade said water fluoridation is an effective way to guard against tooth decay, provided it's regulated properly.
The practice is backed by the World Health Organization, Centres for Disease Control and many other reputable bodies.
Its benefit in reducing tooth decay is especially poignant among children, he said, noting the data generally needs further clarification.
Advocates also argue having fluoride in water means it's available for lower-income portions of the population who might not have access otherwise.
But fluoride is in toothpaste and a host of other things, meaning it can build up and causes fluorosis – mottling – in teeth, said Dr. Hardy Limeback, former head of preventative dentistry at the University of Toronto .
One in 10 children in Canada has some degree of fluorosis, he said, noting he's researched the impact of fluoride in water for decades.
Applied topically, fluoride has benefits, he said.
Ingested, it's a different story.
“Once it gets in your cells, it's like a bomb goes off,” he said, noting a study he conducted found it lowers bone strength.
Several studies also show it affects brain chemistry and lowers intelligent quotient, he said, when it builds up beyond the recommended level.
That happens more with people who consume more water, like athletes, kidney dialysis patients and babies on infant formula, he said
“It's my opinion, based on the research we did ... it can cause bodily harm,” he said.
“It does not provide the dental benefits as claimed and is not cost effective at all.”
In terms of cost, he said, it's basically a wash in terms of preventing cavities and fixing fluorosis.
Sarnia last tackled the issue of water fluoridation in 2013, voting 5-4 to take it out of the water.
But Sarnia is part of the Lambton Area Water Supply System (LAWSS) and has continued with fluoridated water since because most other member municipalities with the utility voted to continue with the practice.
Representatives were invited to attend Monday's meeting, but none were there, said Sarnia City Coun. Andy Bruziewicz, chairperson of the LAWSS board.
He said he hoped they were watching the video feed.
It's unclear what happens next
Bruziewicz noted information is being collected by staff until June 2 for an eventual report to council.
“So that may outline the path towards the future a little bit,” he said.
Those interested can email comments via fluoride@sarnia.ca.
Several residents booked time to speak Monday on the issue. Most were opposed to fluoride in water
Municipalities like Windsor, Vancouver and Calgary have ended water fluoridation.
The evidence to end the practice needs to be stronger to make a move, Ranade said.
Evidence in support also needs to be stronger and updated, he said, suggesting Sarnia-Lambton should try to be involved in advancing that research.

Canada - Pros And Cons Of Water Fluoridation Debated


The former head of the University of Toronto Preventative Dentistry and former president of the Canadian Association of Dental Research says there’s no cost savings to fluoridating our water.
Dr. Hardy Limeback presented his findings to Sarnia council during its public meeting on the divisive issue Monday.
He says according to Lambton Public Health, it costs $1.26 per resident annually.
“The cost for fluoridation, according to that $1.26 per person per year, would be about $5-million after 40 years, new equipment $1-million, cost to repair the fluorosis as estimated $4.3-million — a total of $10-million over the next 40 years,” says Dr. Limeback. “You’re saying you’re going to save a filling, per person, over the next 40 years. 100,000 people in the Lambton area, saving one filling per person, that’s $10-million. There’s no cost savings. None whatsoever.”
Dr. Limeback published a paper in 1993 stating that too much fluoride was being put in drinking water, or children were getting it from too many sources and developing bone problems because of it.
“I can tell you… I got a lot of flack from that, because fluoride was only suppose to be added to the drinking water to effect the teeth,” says Limeback.
He says fluoride only works topically and there are no benefit to swallowing it.
Dr. Limeback also mentioned that boiling water for infant formula is the worst thing you could do, because he claims that boiling water concentrates fluoride.
Lambton Medical Officer of Health Dr. Sudit Ranade says fluoride remains a recognized effective public health intervention, and is supported by the World Health Organization, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), as well as the Canadian Dental Association.
“Currently the best available evidence suggests maintaining water fluoridation here, because there’s no naturally occurring supply,” says Dr. Ranade.
Ranade says he has a professional obligation to protect our health.
“I take that very, very seriously and I look at the evidence very seriously and I think the balance of evidence in this case strongly supports continued water fluoridation to the regulated levels. It’s very highly regulated, we’ve worked with LAWSS [Lambton Area Water Supply System], and we know what their procedures are and they do a great job of regulating the water system in terms of the parameters to make sure the water is safe.”
Sarnia council went on the record in 2013 supporting the removal of fluoride from our drinking water.
But, the 5-4 recorded vote didn’t change the outcome, because legally four out of the six Lambton Area Water Supply System member municipalities had to vote against fluoridation to have it removed. The other municipalities didn’t agree, so it remained.

Earthing/Grounding -Suppressed Health knowledge



The Truth about Iodine and Why It's Important by Dr. Group

Australia - The problem of tooth decay

Dental caries are a significant Australian public health problem. In 2014-15, A$9.5 billion was spent on dental services in Australia, up from $6.1 billion in 2007–08. In Australia, around 50% of children start primary school with largely untreated cavities. In Victoria, 7.1% of children aged under 12 have had a general anaesthetic for dental treatment.

Sugars provide food for the bacteria that dissolve tooth enamel. As sugar consumption increases, so do cavities. This damage is irreparable and individuals are left with life-long problems that require fillings, and possibly root canal work or extractions.

In addition, food acid (especially citric acid) causes dental erosion that can lead to the progressive loss of the surface of the tooth. This may require complex and lengthy treatment involving fillings, veneers and crowns. The sticky consistency of “gummies” adds to the problem.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) says higher rates of dental caries occur when the intake of free sugars (added sugar plus honey, syrups and sugars in fruit juices) is more than 10% of total energy intake. This is despite fluoride in drinking water and using toothpaste.

Dental caries rates decline progressively as sugar intake is reduced to less than 5% of total energy intake. Hence, for a range of health reasons, the WHO recommends we get no more than 5 to 10% of our daily energy from free sugars.

Canada - Gravenhurst nurse says taxes shouldn't be spent on fluoridation

Dear Editor,
Re: ‘Oral Health Sometimes Missed’ by Dr. Lisa Simon, Gravenhurst Banner, Thursday May 11.
I agree with Dr. Simon and would like to see Ontario’s Healthy Smiles program expand coverage for low income families, but I also feel coverage should include middle income families with no dental plan. Costly dental work can be unaffordable, leading to poor oral health.Your daily oral health regimen such as brushing, flossing etc. should also include a healthy diet rich in fresh, whole foods, avoiding refined sugars, refined baked goods, soda, fruit juices, ice cream, candy, etc. Oral health depends on vitamins and minerals that support and build strong teeth and bones, especially Vitamin D, K-2 and magnesium which are lacking in many diets.
Fluoride over-exposure from many sources such as toothpaste, fluoridated tap water, baby formulas, or any beverage/food made from fluoridated water, has led to an epidemic of fluoride damaged teeth called dental fluorosis. Skeletal fluorosis, as well, is increasing and we now have an exponential rate of hip fractures.
Communities that have been adding fluoride to the drinking water for decades, continue reporting high rates of dental disease. Recent scientific research has shown fluoridated tap water NOT ‘safe and effective’. Because of these studies, hundreds of Canadian towns have stopped adding HFSA (fluoride) to the community drinking water. Unfortunately, Gravenhurst and Bracebridge councillors decided to continue adding this industrial grade fluoride to the town’s drinking water. However, Huntsville and Baysville made the wise decision to discontinue community water fluoridation.
I suggest reallocating the tax dollars spent on harmful fluoridation chemicals to fund oral health programs for those in dire need of dental care. A win-win for everyone.

USA - VACCINATED KIDS GET CHICKENPOX, So School Bans All Unvaccinated Kids….

In what is yet another clear violation of rights and logic, 15 kindergartners have been banned from attending school for 21 days following an “outbreak” of chickenpox. The “outbreak” consist of 5 children. One of the mothers, Chelsea Hendrick’s, whose daughter Katie was banned from attending her school, is speaking out to The Charlotte Observer over what she describes as a severe overreaction by the county....

Most US Kids Have Fluoride-Damaged Teeth


According to research presented at the April 2017 National Oral Health Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 57 percent of youth between the ages of 6 and 19 years have dental fluorosis, a condition in which your tooth enamel becomes progressively discolored and mottled, according to data from 2011 to 2012.1
The statistic represents an increase from 37 percent reported from 1999 to 2004. Further, the author stated, “There was a significant increase in caries experience …” When Fluoride Action Network (FAN) researchers analyzed the same set of data, they found “The 2011 to 2012 NHANES survey found dental fluorosis in 58.3 percent of the surveyed adolescents, including an astonishing 21.2 percent with moderate fluorosis and 2 percent with severe.”2
According to FAN, “The data suggests that up to 24 million adolescents now have some form of dental fluorosis, with over 8 million adolescents having moderate fluorosis, and 840,000 having severe fluorosis.”
In stark contrast, when fluoridation was first started in the U.S. in 1945, it was promised that only 10 percent of people would suffer from mild dental fluorosis.3 Public health officials often brush off fluorosis as a purely aesthetic issue, one they believe is a good trade-off for the supposed benefits of fluoride but, in reality, fluorosis is an outward sign that fluoride is damaging the body.
Research has found impairment in cognitive abilities among children with fluorosis (even mild fluorosis) compared to children with no fluorosis. And some studies have even found that children with higher levels of fluorosis have increased rates of cavities.

Don't use toothpaste containing fluoride

I have Alex Jones to thank...
So why avoid fluoride containing products? a quick google search shows the following:
(1) Weakens Skeletal Health
(2) Causes Arthritis
(3) Toxic to the Thyroid
(4) Harmful to Male and Female Fertility
(5) Accelerates Female Puberty
(6) Bad for Kidney Health
(7) Harmful to the Cardiovascular System
(8) Negative Cognitive Effects i.e lowers IQ
(9) Calcifies the Pineal Gland - regulates body rhythms and wake-sleep cycles

Canada - To Fluoridate or not to fluoridate Nipawin Water

Councillor Ray Serack cautioned his fellow councillors on the Town’s proposed referendum for the fluoridation of the water. Council took Serack’s recommendation that it be tabled to the next meeting. If Council decides to hold a referendum, Nipawin residents will be asked to cast their vote alongside their ballot at the municipal by-election schedule for September 2017. By putting the discussion on hold Serack hopes all Town councillors will do their own research on the pros and cons of fluoridation.

“That way it gives everybody the chance to look at it,” he said,“I want you to think about it for a while, I want Council think about it because it is a big topic.”

“I looked at, I went on the internet and holy cow it’s a tough one,” he said.

Mayor Rennie Harper reminded Council that everyone, except for one councillor, was present for a meeting sponsored by the Kelsey Trail Health Authority which featured health officials and their spokesperson Dr. Mohammed Khan.

“There’s as many positives as there are negatives,” said Mayor Harper.

CAO Barry Elliot said he would ask Kelsey Trail Health for all the information on fluoridation to be forwarded to each council member.

According to Health Canada, 45.1% of Canadians drink fluoridated public water.Canada is one of the most fluoridated countries in the world. In comparison, only 5.7% of the world's population has their public water supply fluoridated.

Health Canada claims to support water fluoridation as a public health measure in order to prevent dental decay.

“The big advantage of water fluoridation is that it benefits all residents in a community, regardless of age, socioeconomic status, edu- cation or employment,” a Health Canada website explained.
But there are also some risks associated with fluoridated water. According to a report released by the University of Calgary, existing research consistently shows an association between exposure to drinking water fluoridation and increased risk of dental fluorosis.

“Case studies of fluorosis in communities with high levels of fluoride in drinking water illustrate the critical importance of monitoring fluoride concentrations, particularly in rural areas with weaker infrastructure,” it says.
The report was repared with funding from Public Health Canada and researchers at U of C, Lindsay McLaren PhD and Lynn McIntyre MD, MHSc, FRCPC Department of Community Health Sciences.


The topic has not yet been put to the people of Nipawin but a decision by Council to told a referendum could be decided by June 12.

See the terrifying amount of sugar that's in 16 popular beverages

Summer is around the corner, and with it comes the temptation to cool down with an ice-cold beverage from one of your favorite fast-food chains.

But beware; those neon-colored, frivolous drinks are less innocent than you think. Some are packed with more than three times the amount of sugar that the Food and Drug Administration recommends daily.

According to the FDA, Americans should eat and drink no more than 50 grams of sugar a day — roughly the same amount that's in a single can of Coke.

But the reality is we consume far more. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the average American consumes more like 94 grams a day.

Avoiding sugar can be harder than you think. To help you understand how much sugar your favorite drinks contain, we put together the following series of visualizations in which 1 sugar cube represents 2.3 grams of sugar.

Is it safe to use fluoridated water in making baby formula?

According to the American Dental Association: “Yes, it is safe to use fluoridated water to mix infant formula. If your baby is primarily fed infant formula, using fluoridated water might increase the chance for mild enamel fluorosis, but enamel fluorosis does not affect the health of your child or the health of your child’s teeth.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to talk to their dentists about what’s best for their child.” ("Fluorosis" refers above to discoloration of teeth.)

Open Parachute

Anti-fluoridationists commonly misrepresent Ministry of Health data

Anti-fluoride activists tell porkies about the Ministry of Health’s data on child dental health. They cherry-pick the data to make it appear that community water fluoridation is ineffective. And when challenged to discuss the issue they run away.

Of course the fluoridationists never do that do they Ken?

Department of Health Studies
Innovation Centre
York Science Park
University Road
York YO10 5DG
3/1/2001
In my capacity of chair of the Advisory Group for the systematic review on the effects of water fluoridation recently conducted by the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination the University of York and as its founding director, I am concerned that the results of this review have been widely misrepresented. The review was exceptional in this field in that it was conducted by an independent group to the highest international scientific standards and a summary has been published in the British Medical Journal. It is particularly worrying then that statements which mislead the public about the review's findings have been made in press releases and briefings by the British Dental Association, British Medical Association, the National Alliance for Equity in Dental Health and the British Fluoridation Society. I should like to correct some of these errors:
1. Whilst there is evidence that water fluoridation is effective at reducing caries, the quality of the studies was generally moderate and the size of the estimated benefit, only of the order of 15%, is far from "massive".
2. The review found water fluoridation to be significantly associated with high levels of dental fluorosis which was not characterised as "just a cosmetic issue".
3. The review did not show water fluoridation to be safe. The quality of the research was too poor to establish with confidence whether or not there are potentially important adverse effects in addition to the high levels of fluorosis. The report recommended that more research was needed.
4. There was little evidence to show that water fluoridation has reduced social inequalities in dental health.
5. The review could come to no conclusion as to the cost-effectiveness of water fluoridation or whether there are different effects between natural or artificial fluoridation.
6. Probably because of the rigour with which this review was conducted, these findings are more cautious and less conclusive than in most previous reviews.
7. The review team was surprised that in spite of the large number of studies carried out over several decades there is a dearth of reliable evidence with which to inform policy. Until high quality studies are undertaken providing more definitive evidence, there will continue to be legitimate scientific controversy over the likely effects and costs of water fluoridation.

Dr Mercola - Fluoridated Water Destroys Your Brain and Teeth

Story at-a-glance -

effects of fluoride in waterIn the U.S., 57 percent of youth between the ages of 6 and 19 years have dental fluorosis
When fluoridation was first started in the U.S. in 1945, it was promised that only 10 percent of people would suffer from mild dental fluorosis
Public health officials often brush off fluorosis as purely aesthetic, but in reality fluorosis is an outward sign that fluoride is damaging the body

Is Fluoride making us stupid? (Sketchy Conspiracies)

UK - Film help families brush up on Oral Healthcare

The Easingwold based Sue Overton Applied Practice decided to make the film, entitled ‘Let’s Talk About Teeth,’ in response to a recent article from the Royal College of Surgeons which shows that there has been a 24% rise in the number of tooth extractions performed on under 4 year olds over the last decade.
The film is aimed at teachers, health professionals and dentists who work with young children. The company also hope to share the programme with parents.
The children and staff of Cundall Manor School, based near Ripon and Thirsk, were asked to help the team film a short section of the programme which demonstrates the importance of brushing teeth and what happens if you don’t.
Pupils as young as four were involved in the film which is shot in an ‘edutainment’ format similar to the “One Show.” The film includes specialist advice discussing all aspects of children’s teeth including sugar, bottles and cups, fluoride, brushing, visiting the dentist, and much more.
SOAP owner, Sue Overton, said: “We needed a different approach if we really want to make a difference. The old methods are simply not working. Our teeth programme is fun to watch and shows lots of film of children, parents and professionals from the North Yorkshire area.”
Sue added: “We were thrilled with the support and enthusiasm of the children, parents and staff at Cundall Manor. We can’t begin to thank them for all their help in making our new national programme which will be available at the end of May.”
The specialist guests include, Dr Peter Day from the Leeds Dental Institute, Annie Denny from the Early Years Nutritional Partnership, Sue Rob from Action 4 Children, together with an assortment of mums and dads who share their children’s stories about teeth.
Marketing Manager for Cundall Manor School, Paul Swalwell added: “This was a wonderful opportunity for the children, not only to learn about teeth, but also to see how a film is made. They were so enthusiastic and had lots of fun.”

Is Fluoride Dangerous Natural Dentist Shocking Answer

Canada - City seeking public comment on drinking water fluoride

aN1503P49010C
Residents with an opinion on the divisive issue of fluoridated water can weigh in when a public meeting is held May 29 at City Hall.
The 3 p.m. session will include presentations by Dr. Sudit Ranade, Lambton’s medical officer of health and a fluoride supporter, and Dr. Hardy Limeback, former president of the Canadian Association of Dental Research, who opposes fluoride in drinking water.
Anyone who wishes to speak can send an email to fluoride@sarnia.ca to reserve a spot. When those speakers are finished, others in the public gallery will be given an opportunity.
Submissions sent to the fluoride email by June 2 will also be included in a report to city council.
Sarnia narrowly voted to remove fluoride from drinking water in 2013. But the chemical, which is used to reduce tooth decay, still comes out of the tap because a majority of municipalities in the Lambton Area Water Supply System support its use.

Fluorosis the dentists claim is just cosmetic, easily fixed by very expensive dental veneers.




Fluoride in Water Can SLOW Down Your Brain… By Erin Elizabeth

How You Can Help End Water Fluoridation in Canada and the United States

We’ve seen some recent victories in the fight against fluoridation, but we still have our work cut out for us. While lowering the recommended level of fluoride is a start, the DHHS is still ignoring the adverse effects aside from dental fluorosis, including the fact that fluoride damages animal brains and is associated with lowered IQ in children.
I’ve joined forces with Dr. Paul Connett to publicize his game plan to END water fluoridation in Canada and the United States.
Trained as a chemist specializing in environmental chemistry, Dr. Connett is known throughout the world as a leader in the movement opposing water fluoridation because of his knowledge base. His organization, the Fluoride Action Network, contains a wealth of information on this topic.
I particularly urge you to view the DVD on this site entitled “Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation,” in which 15 scientists, including: one Nobel Prize winner; three authors of the landmark National Research Council review: “Fluoride in Drinking Water” published in 2006; two former scientists at the US EPA; two dentists who had previously been pro-fluoridation; the former President of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment,” and Dr. Connett himself.
In simple and plain language, these scientists explain why this practice should be ended. After watching this DVD online, I urge you to order a hard copy for yourself. I’m making this important DVD available at a 50 percent discount ($10 plus shipping). The Fluoride Action Network has given its permission for citizens to make unlimited copies of this DVD, so that it can be shared with colleagues and decision makers.
I also highly recommend your picking up a copy of the book The Case Against Fluoride.
Our fluoride initiative will primarily focus on Canada, because 60 percent of Canada is already non-fluoridated. If we can get the rest of Canada to stop fluoridating their water, we believe the U.S. will be forced to follow. I urge you to get involved!
Contact Information for Canadian Communities:
  1. If you live in Ontario, Canada, please join the ongoing effort by contacting Diane Sprules at diane.sprules@cogeco.ca.
  2. The point-of-contact for Toronto, Canada is Aliss Terpstra. You may email her at aliss@nutrimom.ca.
Contact Information for American Communities:
We’re also going to address four US communities: New York City, Austin, San Diego and Sacramento:
  1. New York City, NY: With the recent victory in Calgary, New York City is the next big emphasis. The anti-fluoridation movement has a great champion in New York City councilor Peter Vallone, Jr. who introduced legislation on January 18 “prohibiting the addition of fluoride to the water supply.”
    A victory there could signal the beginning of the end of fluoridation in the U.S.
    If you live in the New York area I beg you to participate in this effort as your contribution could have a MAJOR difference.
    The point person for this area is Carol Kopf, at the New York Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation (NYSCOF). Email her at NYSCOF@aol.com . Please contact her if you’re interested in helping with this effort.
  2. Austin, Texas: Join the effort by contacting Rae Nadler-Olenick at either: info@fluoridefreeaustin.com or fluoride.info@yahoo.com, or by regular mail or telephone:

    Austin, Texas 78713
    Phone: (512) 371-3786
  3. San Diego, California: Contact Patty Ducey-Brooks, publisher of the Presidio Sentinel at pbrooks936@aol.com .
  4. Sacramento, California: Contact Jeanette Bajorek at baj@rescuerep.com. Like NYC, if fluoridation can be stopped in Sacramento, it could send shock waves around California.
