Fluoride
The rat poison in our water - by Ian Gregson
There are so many myths and assumptions surrounding putting fluoride in water that in a heavily fluoridated country like New Zealand, many people go into a state of incredulous disbelief if they are told that our water supply is being poisonedWhile the issue of whether fluoride reduces dental decay is often debated when discussing this topic (it doesn't- in fact it actually increases tooth decay - for studies see this article), this is a just a distraction from the real issues - fluoride is put in the water to create a profitable way to dispose of a lethal industrial by-product, and to make the population more submissive It's a difficult subject for many people to look into with an open mind, because if fluoride really is toxic, they would have to then question many of their other assumptions about the society we live in. "It must be good for us, otherwise 'they' wouldn't put it in the water.." "Even
in small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective
antidote has been found. Every exterminator knows that it is the most
efficient rat-killer"

It's a bit of a surprise to many New Zealanders that there are actually very few countries where fluoride is put into the water supply. Admittedly there are many countries who don't even have water supplies, but out of the ones that do, Australia, Ireland, America, and gullible little New Zealand are in a very small minority, along with very few other countries - globally, only around 5% of people have a fluoridated water supply. And just to show that the other 95% are not all lacking water supplies, countries that have rejected fluoridation include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland - wealthy countries with well educated citizens. For explanations of why these countries do not fluoridate, see these government statements
This map from the heavily pro fluoridation site Wikipedia, may be getting a bit out of date - the European Court of Justice ruled in 2009 that fluoridated water must be treated as a medicine, and cannot be used to prepare foods, so Europe could be looking a bit whiter these days, and foods imported from Australia, NZ, USA and Ireland could technically be blocked from sale in Europe at any time... as they deserve to be!
There Are Multiple Toxins Added To NZ Tap Water Tap water in NZ is toxic because it contains fluoride, chlorine, and aluminium. It's not just drinking the tap water that's a problem - bathing and showering in it leads to chlorine absorption too. A good household carbon filter will take out chlorine, asbestos, and aluminium, so is OK for showering. But it won't get the fluoride out - that poison is in there for good, and you will need to obtain spring or aquifer water for drinking. (Reverse osmosis filters and distillers will get some of the fluoride out, but they remove the good minerals too, and this may cause other problems - this is a complex topic) If you are unable to obtain water free from a good source, and have to buy bottled water, keep in mind that a lot of bottled water is just tap water that's been filtered to get rid of the chlorine taste, but some bottled spring water is good quality. In Wellington, clean drinking water is freely available directly from the Petone Aquifer

Fluoridated Toothpaste - Toxic and bad for teeth too Most toothpastes contain fluoride, supposedly to prevent tooth decay. Sadly, the majority of consumers fall for this con and poison themselves even further by applying it to their teeth. The fluoride in toothpaste is not an organic trace mineral found in the ground. It's an industrial waste chemical that has been deceivingly and incorrectly called "fluoride". It is inorganic, very toxic, and more poisonous than lead. Any amount of fluoride in water exceeding 2 ppm (parts per million) would be considered unsafe. But fluoridated toothpastes have been found to contain levels of up to 7000 ppm. Even the U.S. FDA now regards fluoride in toothpaste as a potential toxic drug.
Fluoride in the mouth is absorbed through our mucous lining and accumulates in our bodies just like fluoride that has been swallowed. The accumulated fluoride is carcinogenic and harmful to our metabolic systems. It leads to increased hip fractures, osteoporosis, arthritis and lowered brain function.
And in addition, virtually all toothpastes contain glycerine. Glycerine coats the teeth, so that they can't remineralise to heal tooth decay The basic requirements for remineralising teeth are: *

FLUORIDE STUPIDITY & POPULATION CONTROL
Sodium fluoride, a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of aluminum, is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, and military nerve gas. It's historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of, until some aluminum industries with an overabundance of the stuff sold the public on the insane but highly profitable idea of sellin it at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our water supplies, and then forcing the public to DRINK it. Fluoride is injected into our drinking water supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink 0.5% of the total water supply, the remaining 99.5% literally goes down the drain as a free hazardous-waste disposal for the chemical industry Independent scientific evidence repeatedly showing up over the past 50 years reveals that fluoride shortens our life span, promotes cancer and various mental disturbances, accelerates osteoporosis and broken hips in old folks, and makes us stupid, docile, and subservient. There are reports of aluminum in the brain being a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease, and evidence points towards fluoride's strong affinity for aluminum and also its ability to "trick" the blood-brain barrier by looking like the hydrogen ion, and thus allowing chemical access to brain tissue.
As Used By Nazis The practice of fluoridated drinking water originated in Germany's Nazi prison camps during WW2. The intention was to sterilize humans and force the people in the concentration camps into calm submission.
Don’t drink tap water - it lowers IQ and causes cancer
by Paul Joseph Watson - March 2008
The establishment media will have to find a new tactic with which to ridicule those who oppose the fluoridation of water after a major new Scientific American report concluded that "Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift" as new evidence emerges of the poison's link to disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland, as well as lowering IQ. "Today almost 60 percent of the U.S. population drinks fluoridated water, including residents of 46 of the nation’s 50 largest cities," reports Scientific American's Dan Fagin. "Outside the U.S., fluoridation has spread to Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries. In other nations, however, water fluoridation is rare and controversial" Serious scientific research has uncovered proof that all the horror stories about sodium fluoride told down the decades are essentially true.
The report also notes that "a series of epidemiological studies in China have associated high fluoride exposures with lower IQ." "Epidemiological studies and tests on lab animals suggest that high fluoride exposure increases the risk of bone fracture, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and diabetics," writes Fagin. The
study adds to a growing literature of shocking scientific studies proving
fluoride's link with all manner of health defects, even as governments
in the west, including recently the UK, make plans to mass medicate the
population against their will with this deadly toxin. In
2005, a study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Health found that
fluoride in tap water directly contributes to causing bone cancer in young
boys. An August 2006 a Chinese study found that fluoride in drinking water damages children's liver and kidney functions.
A FEW EXTRA FACTS ABOUT FLUORIDE
- Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride). - USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950's that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to "Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient." - The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany's Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. ("The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph Borkin.) - 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health risks, however 10% of Britons drink it and the UK government is trying to fast track the fluoridation of the entire country's water supply. - In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject's will and therefore violated fundamental human rights. - In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water. - Other sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides, fluoridated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea.

Oral Submission to Greater Wellington Regional Council Deb Gully 12 May 2010 I’m speaking to you first as a member of the public. I know about the dangers of fluoride and don’t want myself or my family ingesting it. I’m a natural Health practitioner, and most of my clients have chronic conditions that are caused directly by our modern lifestyle - stress, poor nutrition, and toxic overload. Fluoride of course isn’t solely responsible for this overload, but it is part of it, and may be the final straw for some people. I counsel my clients to make many changes in the way they eat, drink and live their lives. One of those changes is to stop drinking water with fluoride in it. I’m also a representative of the Weston A Price Foundation. This non-profit organisation is about helping everybody improve their health by eating wholesome, nourishing foods and drinking clean water. These foods and drinks are not always easy to find, and our job as the Wellington chapter is to help people find the resources they need. We go and get water from Petone for our own use, and recommend that others do the same. We’re grateful that the resource is there, and appreciative that you’ve made it freely available. But it’s not always possible or convenient for people to take up that option. We want everybody in the whole of Greater Wellington to have access to fluoride free water from their own taps.
1. It doesn’t work. There is some evidence that external application of fluoride hardens teeth. But the purported evidence that taking it internally helps teeth is weak. Studies that initially seem to support the hypothesis are usually flawed. For example, when studies look at the rate of decay of 5 year olds from fluoridated areas, there appears to be a lower rate, compared to unfluoridated areas. But from 6 years onwards that benefit has gone. It has been speculated that the fluoride slows down the development of the teeth, thus deferring the onset of decay. Other studies tend to compare two groups of people from the same geographical area, one part of which has a fluoridated supply and another part which doesn’t. However, the area with the fluoridated supply is often a much more affluent area. Wealthier people have better physical and dental health for many reasons, so these studies prove nothing. If you look at statistics by country, there is no correlation between fluoridated water supplies and better dental health. 2. It damages dental, physical and mental health. There is a lot of evidence that ingesting fluoride is actually harmful to teeth. It’s also harmful to other bone tissue, and is a causative factor in osteoporosis, especially hip fractures. It’s implicated in many other diseases including cancer, diabetes and chronic fatigue. It impacts on mental and emotional health, causing lowered IQ, depression and inability to concentrate. Many countries have banned fluoride from their water supplies because they know it’s dangerous. Even the American Dental Association has recommended that baby formula is made up with non fluoridated water, thus admitting the risks involved. Can we afford the risk of continuing to have it in our water supply, if it’s even half as dangerous as the evidence suggests? 3. Even if it was effective and safe, I believe it’s unethical to mass medicate the population. It’s a basic human right to be able to choose what we put into our bodies. This right has been taken away from us. Yes, we can go to the Petone aquifer, or buy bottled water. Or buy an expensive filter that only takes out some of the fluoride. But this disadvantages the very segment of the population that you’re professing to help – those that can only afford tap water. 4. It’s wasteful. Only 0.5% of the fluoridated water is ingested. The other 99.5% is used for washing or other uses, and literally goes straight down the drain. So even if fluoride was beneficial, this would be an expensive, wasteful way to use it. On the other hand, if I’m right, and it’s actually very dangerous, a huge amount of it is going into the sewage system. If even the best water filter can’t take out all the fluoride, can the sewage treatment systems? Or are we contaminating the environment, and potentially damaging a lot of wildlife? 5. Danger to NZ exports. Some countries are also refusing to import food that’s been prepared with fluoridated water. I know that GW is only part of this, and the whole country has to change. Forgive me for using a cliché, but until we’re part of the solution, in this case we truly are part of the problem. Fluoride in our water supply is damaging NZ’s clean, green image and could potentially have a very negative effect on our export markets.
I know they’re decent people who genuinely want to provide the best service for the Wellington region. I believe that you councillors also want the best for the Wellington public. The one time I briefly discussed fluoride with a couple of people from the division, one of them said “I’ve looked at the evidence and I don’t believe it’s dangerous.” I ask you all to look again. To look with open hearts and open minds. It’s hard to admit we’ve been wrong. But if you examine the evidence again, please be open to that possibility. As Alan Martin always used to say “It’s the putting right that counts”. I’ll leave you with a final thought about the consequences of making the wrong decision. If you decide to take fluoride out of the water supply, and I’m wrong, maybe there would be a small negative impact on the region’s dental health. But if I’m right, and fluoride stays in the water supply, the results are already much more severe. Thank you for your time and attention. Deb Gully - 12/5/10

Fluoride - Drinking Ourselves To Death - Barry Groves
At the same time, research has uncovered serious side effects including deaths, cancer, skeletal fluorosis, osteoporosis, dementia, lowered IQ, kidney damage and even increased dental decay. Strongly opposed throughout the world, water fluoridation is far less widely accepted than its proponents would have us believe. Only two percent of the people of Western Europe have their water fluoridated - almost all of them within Britain and Ireland. Despite all this, the dental organizations lobby governments to compel everyone to ingest fluoride, whether they want it or not and without regard to possible harm. The vast majority of dentists maintain that fluoride is not debatable. However Barry Groves has assembled evidence to refute every single argument made by the dental establishment in favour of fluoridation. This book is available from Amazon The Fluoride Deception - Christopher Bryson
Concerns over fluoridated drinking water have long been derided as the obsession of McCarthyite cranks. But this muckraking j’accuse asserts that fluoride is indeed a dire threat to public health, one foisted upon the nation by a vast conspiracy—not of Communist agents, but of our very own military-industrial complex. Investigative reporter Bryson revisits the decades-long controversy, drawing on mountains of scientific studies, some unearthed from secret archives of government and corporate laboratories, to question the effects of fluoride and the motives of its leading advocates. The efficacy of fluoridated drinking water in preventing tooth decay, he contends, is dubious. Fluoride in its many forms may be one of the most toxic of industrial pollutants, and Bryson cites scientific analyses linking fluoridated drinking water to bone deformities, hyperactivity and a host of other complaints. The post-war campaign to fluoridate drinking water, he claims, was less a public health innovation than a public relations ploy sponsored by industrial users of fluoride—including the government’s nuclear weapons program. Legendary spin doctors like Edward Bernays exploited the tenuous link between dental hygiene and fluoridation to create markets to stimulate fluoride production and to prove the innocuousness of fluoride compounds, thereby heading off lawsuits by factory workers and others poisoned by industrial fluoride pollution. Bryson marshals an impressive amount of research to demonstrate fluoride’s harmfulness, the ties between leading fluoride researchers and the corporations who funded and benefited from their research, and what he says is the duplicity with which fluoridation was sold to the people. The result is a compelling challenge to the reigning dental orthodoxy, which should provoke renewed scientific scrutiny and public debate. This book is available from Amazon Quotes
'Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not of all time' - Dr Robert Carton "Fluoridation of water systems can be slow national suicide, or quick national liquidation. It is criminal insanity - treason!" - Dr. E.H. Bronner "Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him.” - Charles Perkins "I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable." - Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd "fluoridation ... it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has." - Dr. Professor Albert Schatz
