A Plea To Grandparents From Paul Connett

 

Little Teddy is our third grandchild but the only one we have lived with from the day he was born. His antics, his innocence and his daily growth are so precious to us. But because of our involvement with fluoride we realize that little Teddy was one of the lucky ones. His parents knew to keep fluoride out of his life – his mother avoided fluoride during pregnancy and never used fluoridated water to make up formula. But millions of other parents do not know the awful reality behind these concerns.

 The awful reality: If a pregnant woman ingests fluoride – in any form, whether it be toothpaste, or fluoridated water– inevitably that fluoride will enter the fetal brain from the first day of its existence and interfere with its mental development. In addition, a bottle-fed infant where the infant formula is made up with fluoridated tap water, will also lead to exposure of the developing brain (the blood brain barrier is not fully formed until about 6 months of life).

 

This isn’t idle theorizing or fear-mongering- this is what the best science – much of it now funded by US agencies like the NIEHS - is telling us (Bashash, 2017 and 2018); (Green, 2019; Riddell, 2019 and Till 2020). As little as 0.2 ppm (we fluoridate at 0.7 ppm) could lead to a loss of one IQ point (Grandjean, 2021).

 

We know this. FAN knows this and you know this, but most people and sadly most parents do not. Government regulatory agencies, professional bodies and the mainstream media are not telling them. Apparently, the policy of water fluoridation is so entrenched in government policy that this awful reality must be hidden from parents and the general public. Precious reputations are at stake and a lot more money is still there to be made by the dental industry, the sugar industry, and the toothpaste manufacturers. Then of course there is the problem of losing the public’s trust if the mighty US government admits that a policy that they have forced on its people for over 70 years was a gigantic mistake.

 Video Update From FAN's Attorney


We are all incredibly lucky to have attorney Michael Connett leading the legal team in our case against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in federal court. I can say with the utmost confidence that no other attorney on earth has the background and knowledge that he has on fluoride and fluoridation. He quite literally has been preparing for over 20 years for this moment, and has secured legal victory after legal victory for our side since the proceedings began in 2016.

 

In the short video below, Michael provides an update on our trial, along with what to expect in 2023. Please make sure to tune in to the next status hearing on Thursday, January 12th at 11:30AM (US Pacific / 2:30PM (US Eastern) by using the following Zoom link:

The Department provides resources to local authorities to support the assessment and improvement of oral health in children and vulnerable older people.

We recently announced that we will consult on the expansion of water fluoridation in the North East to a further 1.6 million people to reduce the incidence of tooth decay. We are also implementing measures to reduce sugar consumption in England, such as the sugar levy. In July 2022, we announced improvements to the National Health Service dental system to improve access and target care for patients with higher oral health needs. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities has published ‘Delivering Better Oral Health - an evidence-based toolkit for prevention’ for dental teams to support preventive advice and treatment for patients.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE 
In mid-June 2022, the United States became the first country in the world to grant emergency use authorization (EUA) for COVID jabs for toddlers as young as 6 months. December 8, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the updated bivalent COVID boosters for this age group as well 

The reformulated bivalent shots were authorized for adults, based on antibody levels in mice, just three months earlier. The FDA has zero data on its use in babies. Initial data is not expected until January 2023, yet they authorized the shot for babies anyway 

The COVID shots are the most dangerous medical intervention ever released. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show nearly 30% of V-Safe participants aged 12 to 17 were unable to perform daily activities after the second dose, and nearly 20% were unable to attend school or work after the booster How can the FDA rationalize a bivalent booster for babies based on data showing 2 out of 10 tweens and teens get so incapacitated they cannot attend school? 

The FDA and CDC aren’t the only ones at fault. The U.S. Congress has, over the past 30 years, slowly but surely paved the way for legalized tyranny and genocide. What used to be crimes are no longer, and the FDA is actually part of the group of agencies that run the U.S. bioterrorism program

 Fundraising Update

Since Friday, we've raised $1,180 from 21 supporters. This is doubled to $2,360 thanks to the $10,000 doubling pledge made by one of our "super-angels" 9 days ago. This bring our new total to $37,651 from 191 donors on our way to our year-end goal of $180,000 from 1000 donors.

We're incredibly grateful for all those who support FAN and our work, and remember that the next $1,847 will continued to be doubled!! 

Unfortunately, we're way behind our fundraising numbers from previous years. Please consider supporting our work in 2023. With the upcoming court ruling, publication of the NTP report, state legislation, the first RCT on fluoridation, and much more, this could be a landmark year, but we will be severely hampered without your support.

Residents Want Alcoa To Remove Waste In North Carolina

Residents of Badin, NC and vicinity want the state of North Carolina to require Alcoa to excavate and remove thousands of tons of fluoride- and cyanide-containing pot liner waste that may be contaminating local waters from its old aluminum smelting plant in that city.

13 Million At Risk Of Fluorosis In Pakistan

A new study using fluoride concentrations from over 5,000 sample sites and machine learning techniques estimates that 13 million people or six percent of the population in Pakistan are at risk of dental or skeletal fluorosis from naturally occurring fluoride in drinking water at a concentration of 1.5 mg/L or more.

Expanding Informed Consent:

Financial Toxicity, A New Form Of Iatrogenic Harm

H. Trendley Dean, the founder of water fluoridation, described mottled enamel (dental fluorosis) as a “chronic, low-grade poisoning of children.” Once the idea of adding fluoride to drinking water was adopted, he predicted only a small percentage of people would develop the mildest form of dental fluorosis. Today, the majority of youth in the USA shows some level of this poisoning with more than a million having moderate to severe forms.

New Zealand's Fluoridated Councils Are Often "Underfluoridated"

The Vermont water superintendent who was placed in the national focus in the USA for only adding low levels of fluoride to the Richmond, VT water supply would appear to have many like-minded colleagues in New Zealand.

WHO Uncritical Endorsement Of Fluoridation Ignores Evidence Of Harm

Despite a substantial body of evidence that fluoride at the level added to drinking water can have a neurotoxic effect on the developing brains of children, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published an uncritical endorsement of fluoridation in its recent report, Global Oral Health Status Report.

People have a hard time believing that ruling elites would do us harm

I have a family member who believes totally in the vaccines and thought I was crazy.
I have attempted over the years to persuade him to look at the evidence. In the last month he said he will never agree with me.
Since then I've sent him more and more evidence and he is beginning to think maybe I am right. The tipping point was the Parliament Vaccine debate.
But instead of changing his future action he says.

I will still have boosters should they come my way. You may say I’m hiding my head in the sand but I prefer to be led by what I believe. If in the future you are proved correct then I will say it was my choice to have the vaccine as its others choice not to have it. 


What you believe in is formed from what you are told.
He was lied to

Dr Mercola - First Thoughts on the Fauci Deposition

 It’s out. The long-awaited testimony from the nation’s Face of All Things COVID, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been released and, with it, the first flurry of public comments.

Less than a day after the release, Rational Ground had already reviewed the 446-page document, and the Brownstone Institute shared it. What they learned is that, for the most part, Fauci neither has, nor had, a clue as to what was going on inside or outside the agency he manages, either before, during or after the pandemic. On top of that, his memory appears to have failed him completely.

From “I don’t know” to “I don’t recall” to “I was completely in the dark,” Fauci managed to weasel out of real answers dozens of times — 178 times just with the “I don’t recall” answer.

As far as shedding any light on the virus coming from a lab, Fauci is completely in the dark about that, too, lamenting that he “didn’t like the fact” he was “completely in the dark,” about the work the Wuhan Lab was doing with EcoHealth Alliance and its head, Peter Daszac.

And Daszak? Fauci said he barely knows him and, in fact, is so unfamiliar with Daszac that he couldn’t even call him an acquaintance.

As a postscript, it’s also worth noting that Fauci, who at one point during the pandemic advocated wearing as many as three masks at a time, admitted under oath that he couldn’t cite a single study in support of masking.

Dr Mercola - Netherlands Shutting Down 3,000 Farms for Climate Change

.December 1, 2022

In an effort to reduce nitrogen pollution to what The Netherlands government labels “environmentally sensitive” areas, officials are compelling 3,000 farms to sell out and shut down.

In instances where farmers refuse to comply, the government will simply decide what they arbitrarily determine is a fair price and sell it for the farmers anyway.

While they say this plan will help stabilize biodiversity in the country, the farmers point out that other buy-out schemes in the past, only with cattle, have failed to accomplish the stated goals.

Dr Mercola Scientists Struggle to Explain Why COVID Spared Unjabbed

 

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • “Vaccine equity” remains high on the global cabal’s list of priorities, even though real-world evidence shows the COVID shots have done more harm than good
  • Africa, where fewer than 6% of people have received the COVID jab, have maintained an extremely low COVID-19 death rate throughout the last three years, likely because they didn’t have equal access to experimental COVID injections
  • While wholly ignoring the African experience, U.S. media are now trying to scare people into taking additional shots for fall by warning of an incoming “tripledemic” of COVID, flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
  • The tripledemic narrative is scientifically implausible. Respiratory viruses tend to interfere with each other’s spread, such that one typically ends up dominating
  • Pfizer’s and Moderna’s pediatric trials both found RSV infection was more prevalent among children who got their COVID jabs than those who didn’t

F.A.N. News letter

Major UK Fluoridation Study Finds Much Small Benefits And Much Higher Costs Than Prior Claims

--Even the modest Benefits likely exaggerated by study biases.

--Costs much higher than previously claimed.

 

The final published report of a large 10-year fluoridation study in the northwest of England, called the CATFISH study, has concluded that fluoridations effects on tooth decay in children are “very modest” and “much smaller than previous studies have reported” [Goodwin 2022].  In England, this long-awaited study was funded by the fluoridation-promoting national health authorities who apparently hoped it would underpin efforts by the government to extend fluoridation to all of England. Fluoridation currently is only imposed on 10% of the population, a proportion that has not increased in 30 years. Instead of supporting more fluoridation, the results of the CATFISH study are a strong blow against it.

 

The report concludes:

 

"The 4% difference we found may not be large enough to convince communities to support water fluoridation schemes. Other ways of preventing tooth decay may be better now that use of fluoride toothpaste is so common and levels of tooth decay are much lower than they were 40 years ago."

The study compared children from two parts of Cumbria, one with artificial fluoridation (averaging about 0.9 mg/L), and the other without.  Five year olds with fluoridation since birth had only about 0.3 fewer cavities or fillings in their baby teeth than the non-fluoridated children.  Only 4% fewer were caries-free.  For permanent teeth in 11 year olds, the difference in cavities or fillings was even lower, with only about 0.2 fewer in those with fluoridation from age 5 to 11, compared to non-fluoridated children who never had fluoridation.  The meager benefit in permanent teeth resulted in only 3% fewer caries-free children among the 11 year olds. The study also failed to show any significant extra reduction in caries for deprived children, so fluoridation did not reduce disparities.

 

The study has been touted as the most up-to-date evaluation of the effectiveness of water fluoridation. It was intended to fill the gaping evidence gap that was revealed by the two strongest systematic reviews to date, the York Review of 2000 and the Cochrane Review of 2015.  Both those reviews concluded that despite claims of fluoridation promoters, existing studies were of relatively low quality and were at high risk of bias. Furthermore, the studies were almost all prior to the mid 1970s, before fluoride toothpaste use became common. Dental researchers concur that fluoride toothpaste likely played the largest role in the steady decline of tooth decay in all developed countries over the last 50 years, because most countries have not been fluoridated. 

 

Besides finding only very modest benefits on average, the CATFISH study results also undermine the claim of fluoridation proponents that fluoridation helps poor children the most.  The study found no significantly better results in the most deprived compared to the least deprived children.  Fluoridation proponents sometimes make the paternalistic argument that poorer children do not use fluoridated toothpaste as much as wealthier children and therefore need fluoridation which doesn’t require any effort from the children. The CATFISH study undermines this argument two ways: by finding no greater benefit in the poorest children and by finding they brushed their teeth as much as wealthier children.  

 

An economic evaluation was also done for the study, and despite overly optimistic assumptions, found a return on investment (ROI) that was a tiny fraction of what has long been claimed for fluoridation.  The ROI was 1/5th what Public Health England claimed for fluoridation in 2016 when PHE launched its current push to expand fluoridation to all of England.  The ROI is also below that for the ChildSmile program in Scotland, which is a program of supervised toothbrushing in preschools, initiated because Scotland had effectively banned fluoridation in 1983.

 

The probability that fluoridation in Cumbria produced a net economic benefit at all is also in doubt, with the paper estimating there was only a 68% probability that it produced a net benefit for those 0-12 years old, which means there was conversely a 32% probability that the program suffered a net economic loss.

 

Even with the dismal caries and economic benefits, which bring serious doubt as to whether there are any grounds to try to expand fluoridation, the conclusion is even dimmer when the serious biases of the study are taken into account. The economic evaluation assumed there were no costs from dental fluorosis or lost IQ, both very costly adverse effects of fluoridation with strong supporting scientific evidence.  Even before the economic evaluation, the study appears to be seriously confounded because the fluoridated group had a much higher proportion of high income families (40%) than the non-fluoridated (17%), yet income was never adjusted for in any analyses.  The small dental and economic benefits found in the study may have actually been due to the disproportionate number of wealthy families in the fluoridated area who enrolled their children compared to in the non-fluoridated area, since it is well documented that wealthier groups have lower tooth decay rates.

 

Instead of adjusting for income, which was measured at the individual level, the study adjusted for deprivation, which was a group-level or ecological measure. The group-level deprivation scores did not differ greatly between the fluoridated and non-fluoridated groups, so adjusting for deprivation would not remove the confounding by income. It appears the CATFISH study fell prey to the ecological fallacy, leading to an overestimate of benefits.

 

The CATFISH study found, at best, marginal dental and economic benefits. Instead of laying the foundation for the push to expand fluoridation in England, it should be the final wrecking ball for the house-of-cards of weak arguments that dental interests have promoted to try to sell fluoridation.
