Its a David and
Goliath saga that the NHF has tackled for decades, but
there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel:
The watchdog
organization, the Environmental Working Group (EWG),
petitioned the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to list
fluoride in tap water as a carcinogen.
Investigation
began against a dentistry professor by Harvard University
concerning suppression of research in a report by his
student to the NIH. The paper showed a risk of
osteosarcoma in boys from fluoridated water.
EPA scientists
(11 EPA Unions with over 7,000 environmental and health
professionals) called for a moratorium on a drinking-water
fluoridation program across the nation, requesting that
fluoride be viewed as the cancer causing agent that it is
and has always been.
As of November 1, 2005, fluoridation in the United Kingdom
is illegal.
Neither authorized fluorides (potassium and sodium
fluoride) nor any form of silicofluoride have Marketing
Authorizations under the EU or UK legislations and their
use with the intent to medicate is therefore illegal.
Please sign the petition
supporting the EPA Unions' request for a nationwide
moratorium fluoridation :

Major media
coverage is beginning to access the situation of this
industry waste from phosphate fertilizer
manufacturing that has been forced upon U. S. citizens and
in other countries. Time Magazine recently published an
article and many states (Hawaii, Nebraska, Oregon,
Kansas) have been winning against fluoridation of their
water supply. Others are battling this issue as this
newsletter goes out.
Bellingham,
Washington is one of those currently waging war, and ABC
World News is covering the issue. On Sunday evening,
November 6th, 2005, check your program guides for this
piece as the Washington State Dental Association is the
foe trying to get water fluoridation passed before the
local ballots go out next week.
We must keep the
pressure on, keep the anti-fluoride issue in the
mainstream media while we have that tunnel light. Do your
part to make this happen once and for all.
