A note about our sister site in the North-East of England, www.newfc.org.uk  . 

The site is full of good information.

It has been set up specifically to help residents in the

North-East of England respond knowledgeably and cogently

to the expected 2024 Public Consultation

 

This Website contains information on the attempts being made by the UK Government to achieve Water Fluoridation throughout England and Wales. 



News about the US Court Case appears below.  All other news can be found as a sub-page under the Home tab above



The Political Scene


7th February 2024:  Still waiting for the announcement of the Public Consultation for the North-East of England.  As soon as it is announced, we will highlight it here and on our sister website -  www.newfc.org.uk  .


However, it may never happen because, this February in the USA, the US Bench Trial relating to fluoride's developmental neurotoxicity is coming to a close.  The last day of the trial is 13th February after which we expect Judge Edward Chen to thoughtfully deliberate on the evidence before concluding the process.  We are optimistic. 



25th October 2022:  The Fluoridation Consultation Regulations 2022 have now been enacted to take effect from 1st November 2022.  The Government's Minister in the House of Lords announced that the first public consultation will be in the New Year for the North-East, to include Northumberland, Durham County, Sunderland, Redcar, Cleveland, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees and South Tyneside.  Because of the way the water runs in the pipes, the little Cumbrian town/district of Alston which lies just to the extreme west of Durham County will also be caught up in this insane public health intervention.   A year later and it's 2024 and we're still waiting!  We theorise that the DHSC and OHID have not been able to produce a convincing cost/benefit analysis.  If that is the case, then all is bluster.


However, not to be caught napping, the website for the threatened areas has already been set up and provides intending protesters with more than enough material for their submissions when the Public Consultation is announced.

2021-23

The current controversy is the success of HM Government to change the law to ensure that the entire nation becomes fluoridated by cutting out Local Authorities from the decision-making process.  Please go to the Resources tab and to the item which explains the Health and Care Bill, 2021, and the relevant Water Fluoridation clauses.


This attempt is against the backdrop of

(1) Robust research demonstrating the reduction of IQ and increase in ADHD diagnoses when families are fluoridated.   See the Link below: The Intelligence Studies. Also, a Powerpoint Presentation on Reduced Intelligence.


(2) Evidence in the DHSC's Health Monitoring Report 2022, of the greater occurrence of hip fractures in fluoridated areas.  The damning evidence in the main part of the Report is glossed over in the Summary of the Report. The DHSC is heavily biased in favour of WF.   


A Swedish study by Hilte et al (2021) which showed a 50% increase in hip fractures in the presence of fluoride in people's environment was omitted from the Monitoring Report even though it was in the public domain many months before the publication of the 2022 Monitoring Report.


(3) Historical, well-researched proof that fluoride is antagonistic to thyroid/endocrine function, especially if we are deficient in iodide.  Many people in the UK are deficient and many have hypothyroidism, especially in fluoridated areas.  A 2015 Kent University study compared hypothyroidism diagnoses in fluoridated areas against non-fluoridated areas and found 30% more diagnoses in fluoridated areas.



The USA Court Case: Fluoride on Trial


The US Court Case - update.

The FINAL National Toxicology Report on fluoride's neurotoxicity was released into the public domain on 15th March.  The researchers have confirmed that fluoride can reduce intelligence.


Despite the US Government censoring this information, the cat is out of the bag.  This is the beginning of the end for Water Fluoridation.


The next status hearing in a court of law will be on 11th July and this will be followed by a final court hearing in January 2024 at which time Judge Edward Chen will hear from more witnesses and will be presented with up-to-date evidence showing neurotoxicity. 


We now leave Fluoride Action Network to fill in the gaps.  Please go to:  https://fluoridealert.org/articles/dates-set-for-second-phase-of-federal-fluoride-trial/


The FINAL  NTP May 2022 Review is definitely the FINAL Review even though it has the word "Draft" in the title.  It comprises several documents.

The 2024 USA Court Case finishes today (13th February 2024).  We don't know when the Judge will make his ruling.  Best to keep checking this website or log-on to www.fluoridealert.org  .

The Political Situation, October 2022 - update


On 25th October, the Fluoridation Consultation Regulations had a reading in the House of Lords in the Grand Committee.  As was expected,  the Regulations were approved and very quickly the DHSC announced its first area for a fluoridation scheme.  Despite sabre rattling regarding  Sheffield, Northumberland, Luton and Blackburn with Darwen, we now learn that the entire North East of England is to be targeted in the New Year (2023).  All proposals will be justified using inadequate and statistically insignificant oral health survey results for 5-year-olds from 2019.    Update - there has been no announcement of the Public Consultation for the North East of England and it is now February 2024 and seven months to go before the General Election.  The pro-fluoridationists in the Government are going to have to shift it somewhat, especially since there isn't a cost-benefit analysis and how on earth can anyone hope to respond to a PC question without having the necessary information?

The DHSC's Protocol for the survey stipulated that there should be a minimum of 250 examined children per area.  Many samples of children examined by oral health employees were less than the minimum number of children of 250 per area.  As such, no conclusion (according to Protocols) ought to be drawn since small samples provide uncertain results.)


Once announced by the DHSC in the local press, a 12-week public consultation will commence in a selected area.  People in the affected area then have a very short time to learn about the issue, and, if they want to submit their concerns, this will be made triply difficult because there is nothing in national and local media which can help them formulate their arguments. 


Local and main stream media are silent on discussing the issue.


From the outset, residents will be handicapped:

  •      How do they find out about the public consultation if they don't read the local paper, and
  •      If they want to protest, where do they get the relevant information in view of the fact that the DHSC publishes only "facts"                     favourable to Water Fluoridation.


Well, the answer lies with this website.  Over the next few weeks, we will populate it with the main arguments against WF and add references to justify those arguments.  We will ensure that threatened residents will learn about this website and about their own dedicated website: North East Water Fluoridation Concerns (www.newfc.org.uk).


In the meantime, we are wondering what has happened to the promised Environment Risk Assessment and Cost Analysis announced by Earl Howe in the House of Lords in early spring of 2022.  With public finance in such a mess, we question the wisdom of wasting so much money (98% of the fluoridating acid sold to households goes down the drain without being drunk).


Other Highlights on this Website

We've uploaded information on thwarted attempts to fluoridate the population. 


An important document by Carole Clinch (Canada) relates to the delayed eruption of teeth when a child is fluoridated.  This phenomenon is denied, of course, by pro-fluoridation dental researchers.  However, Carole lists numerous research studies with reproducible results which have found delay and just two which deny delay!  The URL leads to Clinch, C. (2010). Delayed Eruption of Teeth & Time at Risk for Cavities.  http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/Clinch_2010_Delayed_Eruption-Annotated_Bibliography.pdf


Our fluoridated children sustain damage to their permanent teeth - a lifelong condition known as Dental Fluorosis and this is  due to over-exposure to fluoride.  The Government turns a blind eye for the consequent delay in growth of primary teeth, to Dental Fluorosis, to increased hip fractures and now blindsides the proven permanent non-reversible brain damage and intelligence reduction.

Deliberately added fluoride is not the same as naturally-occurring fluoride


And now a red flag for enquiring visitors to this site.  Government propaganda would have it that deliberately added fluoride is the same as naturally occurring fluoride.  That is very far from the truth.  We've created a table comparing deliberately added fluoridating acid and natural calcium fluoride.  The table can be found on our Resources page and it's a bit of an eye-opener.   The main difference between the two is the cargo of undesirable elements in the fluoridating acid which, for the sake of brevity, will now be referred to as HFSA.


Vitamin D  - suppression of information about its efficacy


See also the most recent news item (Home, drop-down menu, News) regarding Vitamin D suppression by the American Dental Association and the ADA's attempt to persuade the USA's National Toxicology Program (NTP) to ignore the science in favour of pandering to the ADA's political agenda.   It's interesting that the UK Government (Office for Health Improvement and Disparities) is investigating making Vitamin D easily available to patients who need to supplement with the Vitamin and there has recently been a Consultation which has asked people to send in their views about this.

How the Medical Establishment Covers up the Harms of Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water

by Robert Carnaghan, 1st April 2022


In his article published in The Daily Sceptic, Robert Carnaghan reviews the tortured history of Water Fluoridation in the USA and reveals the damage caused to health by systemic fluoride.   The article should be required reading for all UK politicians, particularly those who are slavishly obeying their Party whips.

Radioactive Iodine

by Dr Joseph Mercola, 31st March 2022

The extract below is part of a longer article which Dr Mercola has posted on his website.  It's published here because it has direct relevance to the issue that fluoride lowers thyroid function.


"How to Optimize Your Iodine Absorption

While women have a greater incidence of iodine deficiency related to their hormone production, the bodies of both men and women are subject to the poor absorption of iodine and suboptimal use due to environmental contamination that end up in the food supply.

Common contaminants that compete with iodine include the following. By avoiding or eliminating these from your diet, you can help optimize iodine uptake from the iodine-rich foods you eat, some of which were listed earlier.


  • Bromide — Bromides are known endocrine disruptors found in baked goods, pesticides and plastics, among other sources. Because bromide is a halide, it competes for the same receptors used in your thyroid gland and other body areas to capture iodine, thereby inhibiting thyroid hormone production and resulting in a deficiency.
  • Fluoride — Fluoride has long been known to displace iodine. As cited by the Fluoride Action Network,23 Chinese researchers “have repeatedly found that an iodine deficiency coupled with fluoride exposure produces a significantly more damaging effect on neurological development than iodine deficiency alone.”
  • Nitrates — While there are healthy nitrates, the ones found in processed meats such as bacon, hot dogs, lunch meat and sausage may interfere with your uptake of iodine, so be sure to avoid them. Nitrates from agricultural fertilizer, present in contaminated drinking water, have also been implicated as a potential cause of thyroid cancer.24
  • Perchlorate — A contaminant found in groundwater across the U.S. and in measurable amounts in milk, fruit and vegetables. In high doses, perchlorate may inhibit the function of your thyroid gland. Even in low doses, it inhibits the uptake of iodine by your thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism.25,26"

Mercola - Radioactive Iodine

Important article by Dr Mercola featuring the pig-headed WF policy being promoted by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in the UK, 19th October 2021. 


We're featuring this article on our Home Page because it is of great importance.

Magnesium - The Tooth Enhancer

Perhaps it isn't fluoride which strengthens teeth after all .....


In 2019, the 5-year-old children's Oral Health Survey found that 50% of the children they examined had dental decay into dentine in Ladywood (Birmingham), and rather high levels of tooth decay in Hodge Hill and Acocks Green Yardley.  This was a finding which should have worried the pro-fluoridationists sick because those parts of Birmingham had been fluoridated since 1964.  (In fact all of Birmingham and the West Midlands are fluoridated.) 


All three districts of Birmingham are provided with water from the Elan Valley.  This water is treated at Frankley Water Treatment Works (WTW) prior to being fluoridated and then distributed.  Elan Valley water is very low in magnesium.  We've obtained a table of magnesium levels in drinking water throughout West Midlands.  The shock came when we looked at the results for the WTW zones downstream and to the east of Frankley WTW. 


Recommended concentrations of magnesium for adult men and women are 350 and 270 mg/litre respectively.  The recommended concentration for children would be between 100 and 200 mg/day.   So when we saw the concentration of magnesium in water provided to Ladywood, Hodgehill and Acocks Green Yardley, our suspicious whiskers started quivering.  All three districts receive between 1.4 - 1.73 mg Magnesium/litre !


Magnesium is essential for tooth and bone health.  According to the Weston A Price Foundation (https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/magnificent-magnesium/#gsc.tab=0 ), magnesium  enables calcium to be taken up by both. 


The scandal of WF is that it injects a developmental neurotoxin into our drinking water and neglects the science which has found that it is magnesium which is the unsung hero. 


Processed food is deficient in magnesium and supplementation is beyond the budgets of disadvantaged families. 

It's no wonder that the DHSC has pulled up the drawbridge and lowered the portcullis.  Politicians have been wrong all this time.
