Water Fluoridation

Water Fluoridation is a Crime.

The fluoride used to fluoridate the drinking water supplies of many towns, cities and communities throughout the world is an industrial waste product, a by-product of the Aluminum/Fertilizer industry.

It is unprocessed hazardous waste contaminated by a number of toxins, particularily arsenic. Fluoride has also been known to cause many physiological and nuerological problems-- most notably Alzheimers disease.

According to a Nov, 2000 letter from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), "to answer your question on whether we have in our possession empirical scientific data on the effects of fluosilicic acid or sodium silicofluoride on health and behavior, the answer is no".

Fluoride is a very toxic substance indeed. It is the active ingredient in a number of pesticides. Just 2 grams is enough to kill an adult, yet literally tons of the substance are dumped in our public drinking water supplies annually.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has stated, "In summary, we hold that fluoridation is an unreasonable risk. That is, the toxicity of fluoride is so great and the purported 'benefits' associated with it are so small-- if there are any at all-- that requiring every man, woman and child (in America) to ingest it borders on criminal behavior on the part of governments".

98% of Western Europe has rejected water fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and large sectors of the United Kingdom.

Fluoridation of water supplies is largely confined to english-speaking countries, the Soviet Union and some Latin American countries. Of the 250 million people in the world who drink fluoridated water, roughly one half of those reside in the United States. Fluoridation remains an issue in many cities across the USA today. Since 1983, referenda have been held on the question in well over 100 communities. The majority of people voted against fluoridation. The American Dental Association (ADA) in collusion with many powerful pharmaceutical companies and interests (in profits) carry on a continuous campaign to persuade state legistlatures to pass laws making water fluoridation mandatory in all communities. So far only 8 states have passed such laws, but dozens of similiar laws have been defeated by the people.

These and other facts clearly indicate that there is a concerted effort to pollute the drinking water supplies of many communities across the world with water fluoridation, particularily in the USA.

There is simply no reason to subject the populations to this level of criminal behavior and practice in the area of public health.

The nation of Belgium, a member of the European Union (EU) has stated, "this water treatment has never been of use in Belgium and will never be in the future. The main reason for that is the fundamental position of the drinking water sector that it is not its task to deliver medicinal treatment to people"

Clearly, its time to outlaw water fluoridation and label it an "unacceptable" public health threat. Despite results to the contrary, fluoride DOES have a direct effect on the central nervous system and the brain. Short of an insidiously introduced mind/body chemical agent designed to control and disable the populace, it is being forcibly imposed upon an ignorant and uninformed sector of the population largely against their will.

Fluoridation is a CRIME that must be stopped immediately and its adherents and supporters arrested, prosecuted and jailed.
