Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi folks, This communication from me, brings an opportunity to participate in Queensland's first CLASS ACTION for The People vs. The Queensland Government in the matter of water fluoridation and recycled sewerage. If you wish to be a part of this important action, please follow the instructions in the letter from the People's Class Action Trust - fill out the attached letter of Request for a Statement of Reasons and forward as per instructions. Please forward on to your lists, friends, family, colleagues, workmates, that you feel may be interested, as the Evidence of Harm and Suppression of Evidence is very extensive. Our Groups have been flat out sending Submissions to Government and media. So please if you are concerned for your own health, and I know you are with the addition of this toxic chemical waste " fluoride " added to the water supplies, please take this opportunity to become part of history. I will copy and paste the attachment as some groups do not accept attachments, so please copy and paste it into word, print it out for as many people as you need and return by postal service as per instructions. Please do this as soon as possible Please don't get back to me about it everyone as I just wont be able to do anymore, as I have been working day and night for over month with research work regarding these matters and will be doing more intensive time consuming research, so please just send it off following the instructions if you wish to participate in this historic action. * ps I am sending this out of State and overseas for the reason that you will possibly have contacts in Queensland, Australia so that you can notify them of this historic action also please; send it to all you know will be interested. Also, for those not fully up to date on the Evidence of Harm and Suppression of Evidence on water fluoridation, I will include at the end herof, my recent emails with some of the extracts from my full Submission to the Government. * Thank you so much, Di Buckland www.mcs-global.org <http://www.mcs-global.org> For and as part of: Queenslanders for Safe Water *FORM FOR COMPLETION to participate in CLASS ACTION hereunder:-* Dear Members Attached is a letter of Request for a Statement of Reasons, which we ask you to print, sign*/,/* fill in your name and address at the top, and return to: The Trustee People's Class Action Trust P.O. Box 115 Corinda 4075 QLD We will attach to them a list of documented, referenced, published scientific papers, compiled by our legal team, and then they will be sent to the Queensland Minister for Water.

You investigate, or cause to be diligently investigated, the scientific and other facts referred to in the research material attached to this letter and form a concluded view as to whether or not, upon all of the relevant facts (including the validity or otherwise of any contrary data), you have a duty to recommend to Cabinet that the legislation enabling : a) waste water sourced in any part from sewerage water and fluoride compounds to be added to allegedly potable town or city water supplies should be repealed without delay. OR *TWO *If you do not determine that your public duty and administrative law propriety demands that you comply with the above request, then please consider this letter to be a ****REQUEST FOR A STATEMENT OF REASONS** made pursuant to Section 32 of the Judicial Review Act 1991 and dated 28 days after you receive this letter of request. In that event, please explain in a form of words suitable to persuade a Court of Law as to why it is that you have decided to not comply with my first request, above, and why, with particular reference to Section 20 (2) (h) of the above mentioned Act, it is justifiable in Law for you to take such a position and to make that decision. Yours faithfully, ............................................................ Extract from my Submission to State and Federal Governments re: Evidence of Harm and Suppression of Evidence and why water fluoridation should end immediately Dear Chairman Mr. Bob Bentley and Deputy Chairman Mr. Tony Hanmer of Queensland Racing I am sending you this information on the absolute dangers of water fluoridation as it affects all of us including horses - I hate to think of the potential to harm horses especially race horses, not only their general health, and multiple organ damage but the potential for Fluoride-Induced Stress Fractures (perhaps this has already been happening in areas of chemical water fluoridation but no connection has been made) this could potentially be an absolute disaster in itself besides the one to all of us. Please read through this and then you will come to approximately page 7 where you will see mention of osteosarcoma etc., fluoride poisoned horses and cattle et al.. kidney damage, spleen, neurological ............... Please have all your experts look at this whole situation, if you like I will send you my complete submission to the Government as to why water fluoridation should be ended permanently and irrevocably - there is extensive evidence from world experts. Then please, call on the Government and Ombudsen; whatever you can do please, to cease water fluoridation immediately in Australia. As you will see in my correspondence below, I am one of numerous volunteers who do this for nothing some of us have been doing it for decades, - because we care about our population. I was furious to learn that the fluoridation proponents got a nice nest egg from the Government to promote fluoridation with slick advertising campaigns, but we couldn't get the real truth to the population because we don't have any funds at all for such advertising. It would be appreciated very much if you could contact Merilyn Haines of Queenslanders for Safe Water www.qawf.org <http://www.qawf.org> phone 0418 777112 or 07 313 70510 info@... If you have any media contacts, it would be wonderful if you could get us some help to get the truth to the population. If you want to see my complete submission, get back to me and I'll send it to you, a lot of Evidence of Harm and Suppression of Evidence of the terrible consequences of water fluoridation. Merilyn Haines' Group also has extensive evidence of harm and suppression of evidence. Please distribute this information to all your contacts in the Racing Industry; but if you would rather have my full Evidence of Harm Submission, get immediately back to me and I'll send to you for onposting. Thank you gentlemen. Di Buckland, 4 Mia St. Kallangur, 4503 3285 3573 dbucklan@... Here is my letter to Ombudsmen & many others. Dear all, This is an email sent my me to the State and Commonwealth Ombudsmen, Councillors, MP's, Media & others regarding the very serious health consequences of water fluoridation. The evidence is from world experts - this is nothing like the information that is given to the population by the fluoride proponents and it makes this an absolute health disgrace and disaster. Time is of the essence here - so I am now including this email to both State and Commonwealth Ombudsmen in the hope that they can fully investigate this matter and in the interests of the health of the population seek to put an end to the proven dangerous practice of water fluoridation as a matter of extreme urgency for the protection of the entire population. Dear Ombudsmen I will forward my Submission to the Government to end water fluoridation due to toxicity data along with our Group's Complaint against the Queensland Government to you as soon as possible. In the meantime a group of doctors has sent out a warning to all the Shires that they have a duty of care to warn parents of babies that they should have NO FLUORIDE under 6 months of age and very little under 12 months of age, so their parents will have to be vigilent but I say that with the water supplies fluoridated that this is an impossible task. Hopefully damage can be minimised in the meantime before Ombudsmen can take action to end this practice of water fluoridation (ie slow poisoning of the population). http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,24727027-3102,00.html Ms Bligh says in this article you published, " Almost a year ago to the day, I said we could no longer ignore the extensive scientific evidence that shows fluoridation is the missing link in Queensland's oral health system " This is totally non-credible data that she is quoting on behalf of the fluoride proponents, this is a health disgrace and impending disaster - see the extracted data below, but I have extensive data in my submission (sent to Gov't) which leaves no doubt to anyone at all, that this is absolutely dangerous to the health of all the population. (Queenslanders for Safe Water have extensive data also - see below for contact). Read on. Dear Journalists, I want to start with this. I've spent a lot of time again on this email to you, breaking up data from my Submission to the Government (I've been working day and night for the last month putting my submission to the Government together and doing more research as to why water fluoridation should end) I am extremely fatigued so apologise if presentation is a bit unprofessional, but I am only a layperson who has no Assistants etc., so the least you can do is give me the respect of reading it - don't delete without being read like all your other journalist colleagues. I can't understand why they would do such a thing when it is a health matter for the entire population and it's not as if our Health Authorities are Mother Theresa's ! The truth has to be told about water fluoridation schemes and I am compiling extensive extremely valid data from around the world. Believe me if you read this and if you know the true dangers of water fluoridation the first thing to come to your mind will be - gee what if it's true ? what if my wife and kids get fluoride - induced illnesses and diseases? well ladies & gentlemen, perhaps they will, so you'd better read on. I have found a mindset where a lot of people only worry about their own loved ones, not the entire population, well I am one of those who care about us all - . I also point out that I have been doing this for 20 years, it's all voluntary and I get no donations grants or the like, I do it because I care about the health of us all, not just my own family, why do you think I would spend so much of my life doing this? I have no conflicts of interests, and I try to show the population that there is a serious problem with loss of integrity in science - and the fluoride spin doctors are misrepresenting this whole fluoride " scam " ; I am just simply a person who cares and wants the population to be informed of the scurrilous situation in regard to water fluoridation proponents - the same with all my friends/colleagues who are doing all this work in their own time for no pay, to protect the population. Now please give me a decent hearing. I will also take the liberty of forwarding to both of you Journalists Darrell Giles & cm online my Submission to the Government (I continue to make additions of more research data coming to light) for your own sakes. I have sent it to many other media, some just delete without being read as stated previously. So read on please. I can't condense it anymore as I wanted to give you enough information on each topic to make you want to read it. Firstly:- This 40 minute video below, presents a press conference held in Toronto, Canada on August 7, 2008. It features Dr. Connett, Director of the Fluoride Action Network, Dr. Vyvyan , an infant and fetal pathologist, Buck, Director of Citizens for a Safe Environment (CSE) and Mayor, spokesperson for People for Safe Drinking Water. All four speakers present the arguments for ending fluoridation immediately. ****WHY FLUORIDATION SHOULD BE HALTED** - these are world experts! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2702431699206958386 & hl=en <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2702431699206958386 & hl=en> http://www.nteu280.org/Issues/Fluoride/629FINAL.htm STATEMENT OF Dr. J. WILLIAM HIRZY *BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON WILDLIFE, FISHERIES AND DRINKING WATER UNITED STATES SENATE JUNE 29, 2000* " Prior to hearing this case, I gave the matter of fluoridation little, if any, thought, but I received quite an education, and noted that the proponents of fluoridation do nothing more than try to impune (sic) the objectivity of those who oppose fluoridation. " In the Illinois decision, Judge Niemann concludes: " This record is barren of any credible and reputable scientific epidemiological studies and or analysis of statistical data which would support the Illinois Legislature's determination that fluoridation of the water supplies is both a safe and effective means of promoting public health. " Judge Farris in Texas found: " [That] the artificial fluoridation of public water supplies, such as contemplated by {Houston} City ordinance No. 80-2530 may cause or contribute to the cause of cancer, genetic damage, intolerant reactions, and chronic toxicity, including dental mottling, in man; that the said artificial fluoridation may aggravate malnutrition and existing illness in man; and that the value of said artificial fluoridation is in some doubt as to reduction of tooth decay in man. " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------ _DISGRACEFUL STATE OF TASMANIANS TEETH - _ _TASMANIA__ HAS BEEN FLUORIDATED FOR OVER 50 YEARS!!_ Click link for full article:- http://eldib.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/studies-suggest-that-over-consumption-of-f\ luoride-can-raise-the-risks-of-disorders-affecting-teeth-bones-the-brain-and-the\ -thyroid-gland/#comments Sin of omission’ endorsements and spin dished out over the years has created an ‘illusion,’ that fluoride chemicals added to our water supply are beneficial and safe. Here is reality of fluoridation,_ Tasmania_ _(Australia) has been fluoridated for about 50 years_ and has one of the most intensive fluoridation schemes. Currently Tasmania has 41 fluoridation plants for nearly half a million people, is 83% fluoridated at 1.1ppm with Fluorosilicic Acid and Sodium Fluoride, And yet: The president of the Australian Dental Association quoted in the Tasmanian Advocate - 2001:“Tasmania is in a Dental crisis.” A recent report released 17th Dec 2007 from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare stated: “_The highest levels of permanent decay experience were found in Tasmania_,”(Water Fluoridation & children’s dental health Survey Australia 2002 Armfield JM, Slade GD & Spencer AJ. The following Submission to the Senate Select Committee on Medicare by ANGLICARE TASMANIA in July 2003, stated: “_Tasmanian adults have the worst dental health in the nation_ with the highest percentage of edentulous (complete loss of natural teeth) adults per capita with 15.3% of the adult population, compared to the national average of 9.7%.The State also has the highest percentage of persons wearing a denture in the nation, with 11.2% in the 25 – 44 year category, which is almost double the national average.” Stated also in this report “Tasmania has had some of the worst health indicators in the nation,” It appears we have been suckers and lab rats for a long time, time for it to stop. Be active against fluoridation. _STATELINE TASMANIA: RE: DISGRACEFUL STATE OF TASMANIANS TEETH -_ _TASMANIA__ HAS BEEN FLUORIDATED FOR OVER 50 YEARS!!_ http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/tas/content/2005/s1425933.htm Anglicare recently held a photographic exhibition of dental photographs to reveal the extent of Tasmania's oral decay. http://www.anglicare-tas.org.au/index.php?option=com_docman & task=doc_view & gid=27\ & Itemid=84 <http://www.anglicare-tas.org.au/index.php?option=com_docman & task=doc_view & gid=2\ 7 & Itemid=84> Access to Dental Care for Low Income Tasmanians A Discussion Paper Prue Cameron Social Action and Research Centre February 2002 REPORT STATES:- Adult Tasmanians also have the worst dental health status in the nation. I'll say it again everyone - Tasmania has been fluoridated for 50+ years – something is radically wrong. and also:- HEALTH COMPLAINTS - I wonder how many never bothered to complain!!! http://www.healthcomplaints.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/68610/Health_\ Complaints_Commissioner_Annual_Report_2005_6.pdf but wait there's more:- http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/toddler-dental-disgrace/2007/06/30/118262\ 4239491.html July 1, 2007 Advertisement This Extracted by me - it is by the Water Fluoridation Proponents: THOUSANDS of n preschoolers and toddlers — some as young as two — are undergoing radical dental surgery under general anaesthetic to remove several, and sometimes all, of their baby teeth.The oral health of 's preschoolers is so poor that Dental Health Services says the average six-year-old starts school with three to four teeth decayed, missing or needing filling.While health authorities have poured money into campaigns targeting childhood obesity, what the dental service calls the " twin epidemic " of the alarming state of juvenile oral health has been largely overlooked. The dental service has joined calls for tighter government regulation of food labelling, after a survey of oral health literacy in n primary schools — released early to ////The Sunday Age// — found many parents were confused about which foods and drinks posed the greatest threat to their children's teeth.Hidden sugar in food and drink is the main culprit, oral health experts say, but confusing nutritional messages on packaging, misleading marketing and the use of bottled water over fluoridated tap water are adding to the crisis. Continuing on :- http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/hah/7.2/akers.html In this extract you will see a map prepared by:- /Map 1: Fluoridation status in Queensland as compared with the rest of Australia/ (Source: Ingrid Tall, Kos Sclavos, and Don Anning, Healthy Teeth or Decay? Water Fluoridation: The Facts, (Brisbane: Australian Medical Association (Queensland Branch), Pharmacy Guild of Australia (Queensland Branch), and Australian Dental Association (Queensland Branch), 2003 - Extensive water fluoridation (77+%) throughout and yet we see the story above on thousands of toddlers and pre-schoolers with their teeth rotting - and the same situation on Tasmania’s teeth (91%) fluoridated and they have the worst teeth in the Nation and yet Tasmania has been fluoridated for 50 + years. Doesn’t justice and common sense ring a bell that something is very wrong with this whole water fluoridation proponents and the extensive worldwide evidence against water fluoridation must be recognised for the protection and safety of the entire population. I have sent much data in to you and other media about the true and absolute dangers of water fluoridation and none of you print or show any interest whatsoever in any of it - there is worldwide credible Evidence of Harm and Suppression of Evidence - I have sent my submission (as a Layperson) to the State and Federal Governments ( & many more around the world )as to why the practice of water fluoridation should end immediately and with enough evidence to resink the Titantic, but the media wont put it to print, and the Gov't aren't listening - are people aware that the American Dental Association have finally decided to come clean that baby formula must not have fluoridated water ?(see below) also people with impaired kidney function are at grave risk (see below). I have data about fluoride and kidney damage, spleen damage, fluoride poisoned horses, et al it's all in my submission. Another thing, I also ask you, if fluoride as they claim is so effective (only topically ) (now some dispute by JADA about this themselves- see below) against dental cavities, why hasn't it been successful as most of the population use fluoridated toothpastes! Ask yourselves. - I think Tasmania's shocking statistics alone should spell the death roll for all water fluoridation schemes. I am saying that I have amassed extensive Evidence of Harm from Experts from around the world but it is being ignored by all Governments and you the media. I am grateful I am now seeing media giving time to Merilyn Haines of Queenslanders for Safe Water - and so you should, because it is my contention that this is (I'd probably better say the word " alleged " here) criminal negligence and likewise for those who are in positions of power in the media and don't get the credible data about the toxicity and health dangers of fluoride to the population so they can be informed and take action to stop being " poisoned " with water fluoridation schemes. They wont do that because they know the country would be in an uproar and never allow water fluoridation schemes if that were the case. What's wrong with Journalists today on this fluoride scandalous affair? And so have Queenslanders for Safe Water Group and other Groups been trying valiantly to protect the public from the dangers of toxic water fluoridation being forced on them. This is an absolute health disgrace and disaster - and what about bone cancer, and the neurological damage from fluoride and much more I have found credible evidence of and placed in my submission. I also question another point, even though I am only a Layperson; with the blood fluoride levels what kind of impact does this have on our Blood Bank Supplies, people who are gravely ill needing blood transfusions getting blood with higher fluoride levels - this is potentially another disastrous situation, and what about fluoride damaging other vital organs of which I have evidence of harm in my report/submission:- see hereunder:- http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/gfm663v1 There are two areas of concern regarding the nephrotoxic potential of * **fluoride *. A small and inclusive amount of research suggests that ****fluoridation of community water actually causes kidney disease**. Kidney * **damage * to tubular function and structure, and reduction in glomerular filtration rate occurred in residents of endemic * **fluoride * areas [2 http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/gfm663v1#GFM663C2] and anecdotal cases of * **fluoride *intoxication [3 http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/gfm663v1#GFM663C3] suggested a causal relationship between * **/fluoride /**/ intake and renal failure/* © The Author [2007].

That is, patients may be sensitized to a volatile anesthetic on one occasion and suffer hepatic injury upon subsequent re-exposure^ to a different agent. Now I ask you, how criminally negligent (allegedly) is a Government that goes ahead and fluoridates the water supplies when all this data on the massive and disastrous health ramifications to the population is available? Our world already is in acute and chronic crisis from people needing organ transplants, what about the ramifications as a result of even more people being damaged because of the cumulative effects of water fluoridation on vital organs, et al which contamination will be inescapable as water is the source of all life (not to mention the harm already being done by widespread pesticide/herbicide contamination) - there is no escape from fluoride it will be in everything; fluoridated water, we drink it, we shower in it, it is in foods, drinks, medications, anaesthetics, et al and in the environment from the polluting chemical and aluminium plants, this is an absolute health disaster and the media has rarely or never printed any of the warnings by the opponents of water fluoridation only articles by the fluoridation proponents which itself is I feel immoral, unjust - I feel that you have a duty of care to the population to protect the population from any harm to reveal all credible information. If the media got a warning that Terrorists were going to put a toxic poison in the water supplies full scale Anti-Terrorism forces would be called in - but in this case it is a devious, under the radar slow poisoning purely under the ADA guise of protecting the populations' teeth, am I making you realise how serious this is? Also See below:- http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/phs11.html *This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present.* If you are exposed to fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and fluorine, many factors determine whether you'll be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with it/them. You must also consider the other chemicals you're exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health. (My comment: I ASK YOU CAN EVERY FAMILY KEEP A LOG BOOK ON THEIR AND THEIR CHILDRENS' EXPOSURES?) I wish the Government in fairness of balance, had have given our group of fluoride opponents some $ to pay for advertising campaigns too because it is hard to compete with the slick advertising campaings of the fluoride proponents - because we do all this voluntarily with no income - that is why the people are not being told the truth about the terrible health dangers of water fluoridation. Why do you think experts from around the world are calling for the world to unite and demand an end to water fluoridation world wide. It is really serious and I just wish you journalists were like old time journalists who did a fair and just story. Not one sided. A lot of people are told by fluoride promoters that it is a natural chemical that goes into the water - this is outrageous LIES - it is not. http://www.redox.com/msds/data/sosili.html - Consider this - you will be drinking this long term, it will be contaminating all foods and drink, you will be showering in it, giving it to your babies and children too.

See info on water fluoridation from Disabled World below:- http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/fluoride-poison.shtml I have extracted sections :- FLUORIDE A DEADLY POISON from A Disabled World By ////Disabled World// - 2007-10-31 / *98% Of Western Europe has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. But not the UK! * The fluoride added to drinking water is man-made. It is called fluorosilicic acid which is a compound of fluorine that is a chemical by-product of aluminium, steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. It is one of the most caustics of industrial chemicals. Fluoride is the active poison in rat poisons and cockroach powder. Fluorosilicic acid is used to refine high octane gasoline, to make fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons for freezers and air conditioners, and to manufacture computer screens, fluorescent light bulbs, semiconductors, plastics, herbicides and ... toothpaste. The most thorough explanation of the origin, action, diseases, and politics of fluoride were presented after 25 years research in a book called Fluoride the Ageing Factor by Yiamouyiannis, Ph.D. (Science director of the National Health Federation and eventually head the Safe Water Foundation).* In his book, he uncovers the facts about fluoride:* Study, University of Austin: fluoride concentration of 1 PPM (parts per million) increases tumour growth rate by 25% (this is the concentration used in the USA). Fluoride is more poisonous than lead <http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/lead.shtml>, and just less poisonous than arsenic - Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products 1984 " A seven ounce tube of toothpaste, theoretically at least, contains enough fluoride to kill a small child. " - Procter & Gamble, quoted in Fluoride the Ageing Factor. *Fluoride supplements should not be given to children under three years old - 1992 Canadian Dental Association Proposed Fluoride Guidelines, Dr. Limeback *Fluoride accelerates your ageing process *Fluoride mineralises the tendons, muscles and ligaments, making them crackly and painful and inflexible. At the same time fluoride interferes with mineralisation of bones and teeth, causing osteoporosis and mottling or dental fluorosis. The process whereby teeth are discoloured and crumble from fluoridation is known as dental fluorosis. The US Public Health service has known since the research of its own Dr. HT Dean in 1937 that as fluoride levels rose, so did the percentage of children with dental fluorosis, in a study of 15 major American cities. The FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) requires all toothpaste manufacturers to print a warning on the label that if more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is swallowed, the local Poison Control Centre should be notified. The American Dental Association and other defenders of fluoride have testified and continue to insist that dental fluorosis is a " cosmetic condition " and is not a health issue! DR. Yiamouyiannis cites the 1990 study of 541,000 cases of osteoporosis that found a definite connection between hip fractures in women over 65 and fluoride levels. The study was written up in JAMA (Journal of American Medicine Association). Several other major studies are cited, massive amounts of research, again all reaching the same conclusion - Fluoride also causes osteoporosis <http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/osteoporosis_dairy.shtml> by creating a calcium deficiency situation. Fluoride precipitates calcium out of solution, causing low blood calcium, as well as the build-up of calcium stones and crystals in the joints and organs. Dozens of other studies, like the Riggs study in the 1990 New England Journal of Medicine, showed that fluoride treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly actually increases skeletal fragility, i.e., more fractures. It's the same mechanism at work: incorrect mineralisation, as we saw above. Thin old bones lose calcium; young bones age too rapidly by over-mineralisation. Austrian and Japanese researchers both found that a concentration of 1 PPM fluoride causes disruption of the body's ability to repair its own DNA. Without this most basic cell function, cancer is promoted, and tumour growth is accelerated. The unmistakable fact is that for the years 1940-1950, when none of 20 cities studied fluoridated, the average cancer deaths were virtually identical. But after 1950, there is a major increase in cancer deaths in every single one of the fluoridated cities, while the non-fluoridated cities remain clustered together at a much lower level of death. *A number was actually put on it:* " ...30,000 to 50,000 deaths each year from various causes may now be attributable to fluoridation. This total includes 10,000 to 20,000 deaths attributable to fluoride-induced cancer every year. " The dental community concedes that fluoride is ineffective at preventing the most common type of dental decay - pit & fissures. Pit & fissure decay - which is the decay found in the crevices of the chewing surfaces - accounts for upwards of 85% of dental decay now experienced in the US. New evidence suggests that fluoridation is either unnecessary or doesn't work. Cavities have declined at similarly impressive rates throughout the entire western, industrialised world over the past half-century. This decline has occurred irrespective of a country's fluoridation status. Western Europe, which is less fluoridated than the US, has experienced the SAME decline in cavities as the heavily fluoridated US, and today enjoys the SAME low level of tooth decay. Five peer-reviewed studies published in the last 2 years have found that dental decay DOES NOT increase when communities stop fluoridation. High levels of naturally occurring fluoride causes a crippling bone disease known as skeletal fluorosis. According to UNICEF, skeletal fluorosis is endemic " in at least 25 countries across the globe " with the problem particularly acute in India, China and other developing countries. Skeletal fluorosis comes in varying degrees of severity depending on the level of exposure. The earliest symptoms are characterised by joint pain that is difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish from arthritis. Fluoride stimulates abnormal bone development. Clinical trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine and Journal of Bone and Mineral Research report that high dose fluoride treatment increases bone mass but that the newly formed bone is " structurally unsound " . Thus, instead of reducing hip fracture, the studies found that high doses of fluoride increase hip fracture. End of extract from Disabled World. end extract. I saw in an article in your paper of a poor woman with little kids said I know its poison but I dont think its harmful - the MSDS for the toxic chemical waste that fluoride is (see above) you are being lied to people, it is not natural fluoride that is added to our watersupplies, it is dangerous toxic chemical poisonous waste; *and a little bit of poison in your water for the rest of your life IS NOT OK!!! especially when one considers the fluoride exposures from many other sources and also other toxic chemical exposures from other sources. eg * http://www.loveforlife.com.au/node/767 My comment: HOW CRAZY IS THIS - THEY DELIBERATELY CONTAMINATE OUR WATER WITH DANGEROUS POISONS AND ACT LIKE THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOUR AND WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT ATTITUDE ! HOW CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT CAN THEY GET? The NAS prescribes the purity requirements for fluosilicic acid (toxic waste) and other fluoridation chemicals? A so called civilized intelligent society that has continued for decades to poison the populations' water supplies! I ask you, who’s crazy? This is completely and utterley incomprehensible. Extract: Dear Dr Thank you for your letter of March 9,1983, in regard to the fluoride of drinking water. Water treatment chemicals, including fluosilicic acid, have been evaluated for their potential for contributing to the contamination of drinking water. The Water Treatment Chemicals Codex, published by the National Academy of Sciences, prescribes the purity requirements for fluosilicic acid and other fluoridation chemicals. In regard to the use of fluosilicic acid as a source of fluoride for fluoridation, this Agency regards such use as an ideal environmental solution long standing problem. By recovering by-product fluosilicic acid from fertiliser manufacturing, water and air pollution are minimized, and water utilities have a low-cost source of fluoride available to them. I hope information adequately responds to your concern. Sincerely yours, R H Deputy Assistant Administrator for Water It is my contention that our journalists of today have lost some real credibility, because they mainly only print one side; that is of the fluoride proponents and we the fluoride opponents with extensive research under our belts, don't get given any funds for slick advertising campaigns, so our voices are never heard. I would like to think that journalism encompasses the responsibility as media to convey all credible information to the people for the people especially regarding a serious national health matter, which has the potential to be a national health disaster. At least they came clean on this one:- http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2006/11/13/dental_association_says_fluoride\ _in_water_mottles_babies_teeth.htm Fluoridated water not to be used in infant formula, says American Dental Association (ADA) http://www.dukehealth.org/HealthLibrary/News/552 CHILDREN POISONED FROM TOOTHPASTE WITH FLUORIDE This from ////Duke University Health// about fluoridated toothpaste!

Of particular interest is the ability of fluoride to induce free radical generation and lipid peroxidation in the brain, especially in the hippocampus. In addition, fluoride enhances aluminum absorption from the gastrointestinal mucosa and across the blood-brain barrier. Of particular concern is the recent demonstration that fluoride readily forms a chemical complex with aluminum, similar to the phosphate ion, which is toxic to neurons at low concentrations and can act as an activator of G-proteins, a membrane link to second messenger activation. http://www.fluoridation.com/brain.htm A 1996 article Fluoride's Neurological Effects: studies show there may be grave implications for Alzheimers, Dementia, Attention Deficit Disorder, reduced IQ in children http://www.fluoride-journal.com/02-35-4/354-231.pdf MORPHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SODIUM FLUORIDE ON HEMATOPOIETIC ORGANS IN MICE Fluoride Vol. 35 No. 4 231-238 2002 Research Report However, hematopoietic cells appear to be sensitive to higher concentrations of NaF (at least 50 mg NaF/L). According to our previous findings, fluoride significantly decreases their proliferative potential. 14 In conclusion, we see that fluoride is able to disturb hematopoiesis to varying degrees over a wide spectrum. Relatively high concentrations of sodium fluoride, apart from its direct influence on hematopoietic cells, /_can induce significant morphologic changes in the spleen._/ This work was presented at the XXIIIrd Conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research in Szczecin, Poland, June 11-14, 2000 (Program Abstract 19) <http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/misc/terms.shtml> http://onenationwa.asn.au/Media/Letters%20of%20Interest/American%20Dentists%20As\ sociation%20Admits.pdf *Extract: American Dentists Association Admits: Fluoride of Concern to Kidney Patients* **/By //Sally Stride//, Opednews, 06/29/08/ On June 19, 2008 the American Dental Association updated its website reporting that fluoride is a concern to all kidney patients, not just those on dialysis. After the 2006 National Research Council's (NRC) fluoride toxicology report was brought to their attention, the NKF withdrew its fluoridation endorsement. The NRC fluoride report was created by a 12-member panel of scientists to review current fluoride toxicology data at the request of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine whether the maximum contaminant level goal (4 mg/L) of fluoride in public water supplies is safe. The NRC says that level must be lowered. But neither the NRC nor the EPA has defined a safe level. */_At least three NRC panel members conclude that water fluoride levels should be close to zero, not only to protect kidney patients, but also thyroid patients, infants and high water drinkers.

Upon examining the raw data of the experiment, Dr. Marcus found clear evidence that fluoride causes cancer, and suggested that a review panel set up by the government to review the data had deliberately downgraded the results. He was vindicated in December of 1992 when Administrative Law Judge A. , Jr. ordered EPA to give him back his job, with back pay, legal expenses and $50,000 in damages. EPA appealed, but the appeal was turned down in 1994 by Secretary of Labor, B. Reich who accused EPA of firing Dr. Marcus in retaliation for speaking his mind in public. Reich found among other things that EPA had shredded important evidence that would have supported Dr. Marcus in court. The original trial proceedings also show that EPA employees who wanted to testify on behalf of Dr. Marcus were threatened by their own management. EPA officials also forged some of his time cards, and then accused him of misusing his official time. http://www.fluoridealert.org/sf-masters.htm Professor D.

Office telephone: Office FAX: June 17, 2001 ****Silicofluorides and Higher Blood Lead** Extract: At present, U.S. public water systems serving over 140 million people are fluoridated with 200,000 tons of commercial grade hydrofluosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and sodium silicofluoride (Na2SiF6), together called " silicofluorides " (or " SiFs " ). Data from numerous studies show that, taking economic, social and racial factors into account, where silicofluorides are used, children absorb more lead http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Enews/releases/2001/mar01/fluoride.html from the environment, and there are higher rates of diseases and behavioral problems associated with lead poisoning (including hyperactivity, substance abuse, and violent crime). *MY COMMENT: We already have serious social problems with behaviour problems, mental illnesses of various forms, criminal behaviour, this can only rise dramatically....when this toxin is added to the water supplies..... * More on health dangers of fluorinated drugs http://www.poisonfluoride.com/pfpc/html/malaysia.html " Poison Control: Fluorides, the deadly toxin within By Professor Dzulkifli Abdul Razak National Poison Centre at Universiti Sains Malaysia September 2, 2001 Extract: Of the many fluorinated drugs that remain in the market (see LINK <http://www.fluoridealert.org/f-pharm.htm>) some carry warnings of ****serious cardiac toxicity**, for instance halofantrine, a schizonticidal drug. More specifically, other fluorinated drugs, though they have not been withdrawn, are known to cause muscle wasting or rhabdomyolysis, like cerivastatin. Moreover, adds Parents of Fluoride Poisoned Children, the metabolites produced by organic fluoride compounds in the liver can be tranferred ****to the foetus through various pathways**, including circulatory via placental passage, gastrointestinal via foetal swallowing, and respiratory secondary to foetal lung absorption. This may lead to congenital abnormalities as in the case of fluconsazole (Diflucan). In short, going by the above evidence, fluorinated drugs seem to pose a number of risks associated with the fluorine or fluoride contained in them. It raises even more concern when fluoride itself is present in many industries and products, including food and drinks, without any rigourous evaluation or monitoring. Of late, we have managed to label all toothpastes containing fluoride in this country http://www.loveforlife.com.au/node/4238 Research Review NEW EVIDENCE ON FLUORIDATION M Diesendorf, J Colquhoun, B J Spittle, D N Everingham and F W Clutterbuck Sydney and Brisbane, Australia; Auckland and Dunedin, New ZealandReprinted, with permission, from The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health Vol. 21 No. 2 199 03.07.2008 Extract: The 1991 report on fluoridation by the National Health and Medical Research Council was published just as the first papers reporting the link between fluoridation and hip fractures were being published.52 It acknowledged in its section 6.4 some of the evidence that skeletal fluorosis is a potential health hazard, but created the false impression in its executive summary that there are no health risks. It is the executive summary which is read by decision-makers and the media. The report’s profluoridation bias was further demonstrated by its failure to cite any of the studies presenting the evidence against fluoridation published in refereed journals. The 1995 Report to the Minister by the New Zealand Public Health Commission demonstrated similar bias by failing even to cite any of the published papers on hip fractures, skeletal fluorosis or osteosarcomas.53 However, the 1994 New Zealand Public Health Commission report did include some of these references and did acknowledge that: It is possible that there is a small increased risk of hip fracture associated with water fluoridation, though the evidence for this is very inconclusive. More research is required to clarify this issue. A large amount of research has failed to provide evidence that exposure to fluoride causes cancer. However, the possibility of a small increased risk of osteosarcoma (a rare type of bone cancer) in young men cannot be ruled out at this stage. Here again, more research is needed. [From the executive summary; there are similar statements on p. 74 and p 78.]54 But this information, and the references supporting it, were not forwarded officially to the Minister. One of the us (DE), while Federal Minister for Health in Australia from 1972 to 1975, could not get frank answers from his own department on the risks and benefits of fluoridation. Another of us (JC), while convenor of the New Zealand Fluoridation Promotion Committee, observed at first hand how his then fellow proponents of fluoridation kept from the public and decision makers the evidence that fluoridation is less effective than claimed by proponents and is harmful, and then represented the evidence in a misleading way when it was eventually released. All of us have observed attempts by the medical and dental establishment in profluoridation countries to evade the evidence of concern and to suppress and misrepresent scientists, medical practitioners and dentists who attempt to publish evidence against fluoridation.55-57 For these and other reasons, we have no confidence in the impartiality of those institutions of government and the professions which have endorsed fluoridation for decades. Those who have built their careers and professional status on fluoridation cannot credibly assess the evidence against it. We have submitted this short paper for publication in the hope that at least some kind of scholarly debate will ensue. http://www.freewebs.com/fluoridation/index.htm ****American Dental Association** Meanwhile, the American Dental Association reported to the press on June 16, 2000 that they have a new cavity fighting tool - calcium. January 2006, researchers tout Cavistat, a calcium containing nutrient substance *that reduces cavities better than fluoride and without fluoride.* Extract from: Journal American Dental Association – See what they saying now: - see below: JADA Continuing Education Fluoride supplements, dental caries and fluorosis A systematic review Results. Eleven of the reports evaluated dosage schedules similar to that recommended by the American Dental Association. One *potentially highly biased study *of primary teeth of children during the first three years of life reported a /47.2 percent reduction/ in dental caries experience. Investigators in one trial involving 3- to 6-year-old children ////found a 43.0 percent difference//, and another trial of children in this age group *////did not find a significant benefit//*. Researchers in several studies involving older children detected a significant reduction in caries increments in permanent teeth with the use of fluoride supplements. Fifteen of the studies had withdrawal rates of 30 percent or higher. All of the five included studies that evaluated the association between use of fluoride supplements and dental fluorosis found that use of the supplements increased the risk of mild-to-moderate fluorosis*. Conclusions. There is weak and inconsistent evidence that the use of fluoride supplements prevents dental caries in primary teeth. There is evidence that such supplements prevent caries in permanent teeth. Mild-to-moderate dental fluorosis is a significant side effect. * Fluoride Chronology Zero Waste America How we got fluoridated http://www.zerowasteamerica.org/FluorideChronology.htm “The Louisiana Dental Association misinformed legislators about fluoride's safety,” says attorney Beeber, President, New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc.

I advise that many in the world feel likewise and are taking any and all action possible to end water fluoridation schemes worldwide due to the disastrous long term health consequences. Now that's a serious health disgrace don't you think? I challenge you to contact Queenslanders for Safe Water below and give them the page they deserve in your paper, and I wonder if you'll put this email from me to print? And : from Queenslanders for Safe Water Forced fluoridation in Queensland may begin , but it is based on a foundation of mistruths, misrepresentations, even falsification of tooth decay data by Queensland Health. ( a complaint has been made to the Crime and Misconduct Commission ) Anything built on a rotten foundation will crumble and forced fluoridation is no different. It took 50 years before the harm that asbestos, smoking and lead in petrol causes was publicly exposed , the time is near for fluoridation. Buckland interjects here to state that I was a DES baby, you remember the health disaster over that and warnings that were ignored for decades - absolutely disgraceful - and when people including me went to the doctors to get medical records, miraculously they had so many fires, floods, and other disasters and all the files seemed to vanish).

TODAY'S MEDIA RELEASE BY QUEENSLANDERS FOR SAFE WATER (INCORP. QUEENSLANDERS AGAINST WATER FLUORIDATION) *From:* QAWF MEDIA RELEASE *Sent:* Sunday, 30 November 2008 9:23 PM *To:* MEDIA RELEASE QAWF *Subject:* BREACH OF DUTY OF CARE TO INFANTS WITH FLUORIDATED WATER *Premier Bligh, Health Minister on, Water Minister Craig Wallace, Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young, CEO of SEQ Water Jon Black and any Council that on-sells fluoridated water to customers.* ****YOU ARE HEREBY PLACED ON NOTICE** Premier Bligh, Health Minister on, Water Minister Wallace, Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young, CEO of SEQ Water Jon Black and any Council that on-sells fluoridated water to customers, are negligent in respect, particularly of their duty to act responsibly and not negligently with regard to infants under 12 months of age, by not warning parents that it is inadvisable for infants to consume fluoridated water. Since Nov 9th 2006, The American Dental Association has given this warning, followed by the CDC Dec 15th, 2006 (one risk outcome, Dental Fluorosis was noted, several other risks are possible, but were not cited). These recommendations resulted from findings of the National Research Council Report of 2006 stating that babies get 3 to 4 times the dose that adults do (this is because of their small size and the amount of liquid they drink). Queensland Health has dismissed this warning claiming that Australian formula powder is low in fluoride, implying that American Formula is high in fluoride; (from CDC information provided below, Queensland Health's claim is seen to be false). Queensland Health also claim that recent Australian Research shows no link with Infant formula and Dental Fluorosis (they do not quote the publication however). A search shows the publication that Queensland Health must be referring to is/ " Changing risk factors for fluorosis among South Australian Children " // Community Dentistry & Oral Epidemiology 2007/ This publication, shows many scientific idiocies , for example " formula use " was classified as " Formula ever used rather than regulary used " so that babies who may have had a few supplemental feeds in Hospital at birth, would have been in the same grouping as those who had never been breast feed. There was no independent assessor; the Author also was the fluorosis assessor. Analysis of the data in this publication shows that, with all other factors being the same, almost 15 % of children with dental fluorosis appear to have developed fluorosis because of the water added to infant formula NOT BECAUSE OF THE FORMULA ITSELF (29.5% incidence in fluoridated areas compared to 15.0% in non-fluoridated areas in 2002-2003, the major difference being the type of water added to infant formula). Almost two of out of every hundred children had marked dental fluorosis. UNLESS THE PROMOTERS AND AGENCIES INVOLVED IMMEDIATELY ADVISE ALL PARENTS OF THE RISK TO INFANTS FROM FLUORIDATED WATER, THE LEGISLATION THAT FORCES FLUORIDATION AND PURPORTS TO REMOVE LIABILTY FROM THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE RULED INVALID. THERE IS A CLEAR AND DISTINCT, BREACH OF YOUR DUTY TO THE HUMAN POPULATION YOUR LEGALLY INDEFENSIBLE ACTIONS CAUSE. YOU WOULD BE WELL ADVISED TO IMMEDIATELY DESIST FROM FLUORIDATION. AT LEAST UNTIL YOU HAVE ADEQUATELY WARNED PARENTS AND PROVIDE FREE UNFLUORIDATED WATER FOR THE USE OF THOSE WHO DO NOT CONSENT TO YOU VIOLATING THE INVIOLABILITY OF THEIR BODIES AND THEIR CHILDREN’S BODIES WITH COMPULSORY MEDICATION WITH KNOWN TOXINS. Message authorised by Merilyn Haines spokesperson Queenslanders For Safe Water, Air and Food Inc_ www.qawf.org_ <http://www.qawf.org_> mob 0418 777 112 *INFORMATION BELOW SOURCED** FROM CENTRE FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION WEBSITE 28 NOV 2008 (first warning placed 15 Dec 2006)* *_http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/safety/infant_formula.htm_* " It now appears that the amount of the fluoride_ contained in the water used for mixing infant formula_ may influence a child’s risk for developing enamel fluorosis, particularly if the child’s sole source of nutrition is from reconstituted infant formula. " *Why is there a focus on infant formula as a source of fluoride?* *_Infant formula manufacturers take steps to assure that infant formula contains low fluoride levels_**-**_the products themselves are not the issue._* Although formula itself has low amounts of fluoride, when infant formula concentrate is mixed with fluoridated water and used as the primary source of nutrition, it may introduce fluoride at levels above the amount recommended to minimize the risk for fluorosis. Infants consume little other than breast milk or formula during the first four to six months of life, and continue to have a high intake of liquids during the entire first year. Therefore, proportional to body weight, fluoride intake from liquids is generally higher for younger or smaller children than for older children, adolescents, or adults. Mixing concentrate with fluoridated tap water on an occasional basis is unlikely to be of much risk. However, when used consistently as the primary source of nutrition over longer periods of the first year, a child may receive enough fluoride to increase his/her chances of developing very mild or mild fluorosis.
