Sodium Fluoride In Our Tap Water

Why do we have this dangerous chemical in our water? What is the purpose?

---

The chairman of Kildare County Council has never given a second thought to the amount of water he drinks. He takes the same amount a day as the average Irish person: a glass or two from the tap, a few mugs of tea, and a drop in the odd whiskey at night. He certainly never thought it might be doing him any harm. Until now.
Last Friday, Rainsfort Hendy received the results of a urine test he had done to measure the level of fluoride in his body. With seven other councillors from Kildare, he had agreed to take the test after a recent lecture to the council on water fluoridation by a British expert. The results found that six of them had fluoride levels high enough to cause medical concern. Chairman Hendy's sample showed one of the highest levels, 5.4 milligrams of fluoride, almost double the recommended safe level of 3mg a day.

"I was very surprised. I had never really thought about it before but from now on I will be watching my water intake as will the other councillors who took part. This is a national issue now. What we are really concerned about is the damage it could be doing to the whole population and that there is no choice but to take fluoride because it's in our water by law. We want this issue looked at urgently."

Today, Ireland stands alone in Europe as the only country to insist under law that drinking water contain fluoride. Seventy-three per cent of Irish drinking water contains the drug which is added to prevent dental decay. Most other countries have rejected the practice because it is considered ineffective and unsafe.

The latest study on the subject, published in the March edition of the American medical journal NeuroToxicity, found that fluoride exposure may produce lower IQ levels in children.

The research, which was carried out by a university in New Hampshire, looked at the blood levels of 150,000 children under seven and found that those living in fluoridated areas were at greater risk of having lead in their blood higher than the acceptable level. The absorption of lead in the body can affect intelligence and cognitive abilities, and a high presence of the substance can lead to Attention Deficit Disorder and violent behaviour.

Although it is widely believed that the fluoride added to drinking water is a natural mineral, the agent used in Irish water is a highly corrosive acid which is a waste component of the Dutch and Finnish fertiliser industries

Although the Government prescribes fluoride as a medicinal product to prevent tooth decay, the product used is not registered as a drug with the Irish Medicines Board, is unlicensed and has never been proven safe or effective for use on humans. And every day, the Department of Health pumps 2,000 gallons of the product into the country's reservoirs.

"Under EU legislation, everyone has a right to bodily integrity. Fluoride is a chemical with detrimental medical effects and what the Government is doing is clearly unethical. If you follow their logic, why aren't doctors putting aspirin in the water for possible cardiac problems down the line, or oncologists putting selenium in the water to prevent cancer. Irish people should be given a choice in this matter. Instead they are being treated like children. Older people with no teeth at all are having to take fluoride."

Under the 1997 Council of Europe Convention of Human Rights and Biomedicine, a government is forbidden from giving a person any medicine or drug without their consent. Although 23 European countries have signed this convention, the Irish Government has failed to do so.

This is serious folks, why is this stuff in our water? The Nazi's used Sodium Fluoride in the drinking water of the concentration camps to pacify & stupify the Jews. There is little or no evidence to link the consumption of Sodium Fluoride to healthy teeth and bones. Its a myth!
