Fluoridation - the adding of Sodium Fluoride or Hydrofluorosilicic acid to urban water supplys - affects a lot of people - specifically those living in urban areas whose water supplies have been fluoridated "in their best interests."

However there is little evidence that fluoridation improves the populations health characteristics and a large body of evidence demonstrating it does just the opposite.

Perhaps the most alarming information we've come across is that fluoridation treatment has its origins in the German concentration camps during World War II where it was used specifically to "render the prisoners docile and inhibit the questioning of authority".

Is it possible that contemporary Governments are resorting to the same techniques to debilitate and destroy their own population's free will?

Could the growing epidemics of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) ADHD etc be a direct result of the widespread use of fluoridation in the western world? Dr. Mullenix, a national leader in neurotoxicology was fired and sent to scientific coventry for reporting her research suggested a correlation between fluoride and similar behaviours in laboratory rats.

Asked if her opinion was that such treatments would be reducing the IQs (intelligence quotients) of children - Dr Mullenix said she thought so - she was fired from the Dr. Mullenix was a national leader in the young science of neurotoxicology Institute and has received no academic employment since - despite being a world leader in determining toxic effects of chemical ingestion.

We encourage anyone who is being subjected to fluorides in their water supply to acquaint themselves with the unbiased facts presented in the articles referenced below.

The "fluoride issue" is explained in detail on the Fluoride Action Network webpage. There you can sign up for Paul Connett's excellent free newsletter on the subject.

But, to get the gist of the issue from someone not involved in the fight, go read the article written by Devvi Kidd called "GERMANS & RUSSIANS USED FLUORIDE TO MAKE PRISONERS STUPID & DOCILE."

Kidd says, quoting other authoritative research:

"It is a matter of record that sodium fluoride has been used for behavior control of populations. In an "Address in reply to the Governor's Speech to Parliament," [Victorian Hanstard, August 12, 1987, Nexus, Aug/Sept 1995], Mr. Harley Rivers Dickinson, Liberal Party Member of the Victorian Parliament for South Barwon, Australia, made a statement on the historical use of fluorides for behavior control.

"Mr. Dickinson reveals that, "At the end of the Second World War, the United States Government sent Charles Elliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast I.G. Farben chemical plants in Germany. While there, he was told by German chemists of a scheme which had been worked out by them during the war and adopted by the German General Staff. This scheme was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water. In this scheme, sodium fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotising a certain area of the brain, and will thus make him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. Both the Germans and the Russians added fluoride to the drinking water of prisoners of war to make them stupid and docile."

Charles E. Perkins categorically stated "the real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistence of the masses to domination and control, and loss of liberty."

12 Reasons to reject fluoridation!

1. Only individuals have the right to decide if they or their children take *drugs. This point should end the debate on compulsory artificial fluoridation. (*The U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearly show that fluoride is not a food, nutrient or dietary supplement. They state, Sodium fluoride used for therapeutic effect [Ed. e.g. fluoridation] would be a drug, not a mineral nutrient. F.D.A. 1963.)
2. Claiming fluoride is naturalas it can be found in the Earths crust or water is misleading. You can similarly claim that arsenic, mercury, radium and other poisons, also found in earth or water, are natural. Fluorides used for water supply fluoridation are toxic waste from fertiliser factory chimneys.
3. Fluoridation is undemocratic. Before major decisions, people have a right to hear both sides, not just propaganda. We have an inalienable right to have a say (referendum) if we choose.
4. Of every 10,000 litres of public water fluoridated, probably less than 1 litre is drunk by young children, with 9,999 litres used for thousands of other purposes, e.g. agricultural, industrial, cleaning, aquariums, pools, food processing, vehicular etc. Many children prefer milk or juices.
5. Doctors have legal and medical restrictions in prescribing drugs. The patient's medical history, age, weight, sex, illnesses, susceptibilities and other drugs taken, must all be determined. After an adequate medical examination, prescriptions must be for a specific drug, duration, person and dose - never 'take this whenever you're thirsty'!. Adverse side-effects must be explained. No doctor in their right mind would medicate an entire population, let alone for all their lives.
6. Among experts, the controversy rages over fluoridation. Leaving aside whos right, if the safety of any drug is so hugely controversial, doesn't common sense demand that it not be used at all, let alone be forced on millions of people, for all their lives.
7. Less than 4% of the worlds population is fluoridated, despite 50 years of massive, world-wide, well-financed, media protected propaganda. With such a huge rejection or failure to take up fluoridation in other countries and all of west continental EU, why would we want to?
8. Fluoride is so toxic, it has a major disease named after it: fluorosis. Next to dental caries, the most common damage to teeth is caused by fluoride; dental fluorosis. This white to brown mottling [breakdown of the tooth structure] is the first visible sign of chronic fluoride poisoning of the body. All three major Australian government inquiries into fluoridation (Tas 1968, Vic 1979, ACT 89-91) reported that up to 10% of children will develop mottled teeth if water is fluoridated. In practice, this figure is as high as 48% (UK Govt. York Report, 2000).
9. The World Health Organisation's International Agency for Cancer Research stated sodium silicofluoride [as used for fluoridation in Australia] is, ".. an insecticide, fungicide, bactericide and rodenticide [rat poison] .. [and] a fluoridating agent for municipal drinking-water".
10. Decay is caused by a poor diet and lots of devitalised sugar and other carbohydrates (22 teaspoons of sugar a day, 44 kilograms average yearly). The only reason for badly decayed teeth is they weren't serviced earlier. Parents often can't afford the high costs of dentists (earning up to $500,000 yearly). However, no one should use drugs to try to handle children's eating problems.
11. Authorities often make mistakes. Fluoridation is claimed to be safe, but so was DDT, Copper 7, 24-D, the Dalkon Shield, 245-T, Deildrin, Thalidomide and more recently - Vioxx - all shown, later, to be harmful or deadly. But at least they weren't compulsory. Fluoridation is!
12. If someone tried to force us to take a pill every time we drank a glass of water, we'd suggest they go where it's eternally hot. The only difference with fluoridation is that the pill is dissolved in the water before they make us take it.
