Bump! Re: POLITICS: Help stop mandatory water fluoridation

[Guest guest]

Connett, a very engaging speaker will probably come out to you

to speak to a group if you can raise his airfare and put him up

somewhere (when he came here he stayed with friends). He's the

founder (with his son ) of Fluoride Action Network, an

antifluoridation group. Their website is www.fluoridealert.org/

He's also in the film " The Fluoride Deception " - that pretty much

sums up Bryson's book of the same name. You can see it here:

video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7319752042352089988 and you can

order it from FAN to show in your community. Maybe in area churches

or township buildings or get some environmentalists involved. We had

the film then a discussion led by Connett, which was covered in

the press and had a lot of activists involved who went on to write op

eds for the local papers.

There's also a woman in Oregon, I believe, who wrote an expose of

fluoridation for the local papers saying it was very corrosive and

led to equipment failure and water leaks in underground pipes. In

your water-starved area that may be of more interest.

A local group here fought mandatory water fluoridation state-wide by

exposing that it is from smokestack scrubbers - essentially

industrial waste, and not a food-grade or pharmacy-grade additive.

So they pushed in a counter-law that any nutritional additives to

water must be pharmaceutical-grade. Neither bill passed but the one

scared the support off of the fluoridation one. It would be

prohibitively expensive to put pharmacy-grade fluoride in the water,

and then the question arises, why don't dentists just prescribe it to

their patients?

Perhaps some good questions at meetings where officials are present -

like " where is the fluoride coming from? " " Is it pure,

pharmaceutical-grade? " " What are the studies of the cost of the

equipment failing sooner and the water lost to underground

leaks? " " Will it be tested for the common impurities of arsenic and

radioactive compounds? " " Will the water dept. staff who are going to

have to add it be trained in safety and the danger of handling the

fluoride? "

You can also share your findings with the local water companies who

will have to deal with it. Here they weren't allowed to take sides

in the issue, but I think the information I was supplying may have

had some influence.

Don't put much effort into approaching dentists - the ones here were

thoroughly brainwashed. I tried lots of angles and after awhile the

state organization told them not to talk about it. There are studies

in old journals of how many children's teeth get permanently stained

at different levels of fluoridation and at higher levels how many of

them get soft, easily chipped teeth. Those levels aren't much higher

than the " safe " level.
