This post is off-topic for this blog, and I make no apologies!
I like Premier Anna Bligh, 1 because she's a woman at the top, leading the way for other women to bring much-needed balance to our political arena; and 2 because she seems to me to be accessible and reasonable.
Except on the issue of adding fluoride to our water supply!
I've had this discussion with a number of people, and not surprisingly the other therapists I know are all dead against it. Fluoride is NOT a nutritional supplement, it IS industrial waste: (Hydofluorosilicic acid, Sodium Silicofluoride and Sodium Fluoride) which are all S6 or S7 poisons. In fact, 14 Nobel Prize Scientists have called for a ban on water fluoridation over many years!
Non-therapists I've discussed this with are indifferent to the issue, trusting I suppose that the government has done the research and wouldn't be fluoridating water if it were going to hurt us.
The facts about fluoride are really clear though, clear enough that many European countries who used to fluoridate their water, have now stopped. I'll give you a link in a minute to get all the facts but I want to make one point here:
The main reason fluoride is being added to our water supply, we're told, is that it will stop children from getting cavities in their teeth. The real truth is that if there is any real benefit in preventing cavities, it might be as much as
Yes, you read right. Putting fluoride in our water might prevent a cavity in half of one tooth. Now, tooth decay is NOT a disease. Fluoride is not a nutrient, it cannot prevent any disease! Research tells us that tooth decay is more about your level of income and education than about fluoride in the water! If you brush your teeth and eat right, you're less likely to have cavities. Nothing at all to do with fluoride. And if there is any benefit from fluoride, it's gained from applying the fluoride directly to the tooth, not into the bloodstream. Putting fluoride in water doesn't work anyway!
For this tiny and not-proven benefit, we will be ingesting fluoride all day every day. People who don't really care about the fluoride debate say well if you want to avoid fluoride just drink bottled water, or filter your water.It's not that easy though! Every bit of food you eat has had water touch it somewhere, so all foods will contain fluoride. So we will not have ANY choice about putting fluoride into our bodies.
Every time you shower you will be drenching your skin in fluoride, and the fluoride molecule is really small so it passes directly into your blood stream. We can process out of our bodies only 50% of that fluoride, so this poison accumulates in the body. Fluoride has been shown to cause mutations in the genes, increase uptake of metals into the brain (precursor for alzheimer's disease); in other words it is a known neurotoxin!, it will damage your brain!! This is proven, unlike the claim that it will prevent tooth decay. It is also proven to lower IQ in children, cause a massive spike in the incidence of rare bone cancer in boys, and cause changes in kidney function. It suppresses thyroid function. Thyroid function in more than half of women and an increasing number of men, is already lower due to the stresses of modern life, and thyroxin (synthetic thyroid medication) is one of the most-prescribed medications around.
The side-effects go on and on and on, hundreds and hundreds of them, and these are PROVEN, unlike the tooth-decay-prevention claims! We CAN stop this! We CAN force Anna Bligh's government to hold a referendum so we can give our PERMISSION to be mass-medicated! Every single one of us has a choice about the type of car we drive, the schools we send our children to, where we live, and the type of medical care we use. Once fluoride is added to our water supply we will NOT have a choice about taking this medication, we will NOT be able to avoid it, and we will NOT be able to control the dose! And did you know that just three years ago, the current government said they could not fluoridate the water with our consent. And yet, here it is, they've pushed it through parliament and most people think it's a done deal!
Yes I'm steamed up about this, for this reason I will NOT be supporting Anna Bligh's party at the next election, which is a shame because I'm generally happy with what she's doing. But you're not medicating me, Anna, and you're not medicating my family, my colleagues and even my animals, you do NOT have my consent. I will be getting every single person I know to sign this petition to force you to ask our permission! And we will fight you, Anna.
You do NOT have our permission!
