Canada - Fluoride fight continues

LETTER: Fluoride fight continues
Aryana Page, Thunder Bay
To the editor:
Scientists, toxicologists and dentists speaking out against water fluoridation and it’s toxic effects helped city council become well informed on the fluoride issue. Councillors proved to be well prepared on both sides of the issue and continually asked tough questions of the pro-fluroiders that flew into the city and bombarded the city council meeting on July 20.

For interest Google the video of Dr. William Marcus of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who was fired for whistleblowing on water fluoridation and it’s relation to osteosarcoma. Also visit www.fluoridealert.org for more credible information.

The Thunder Bay District Health Unit’s agenda will no doubt be to garner enough support through a petition to initiate a plebiscite. The disturbing factor is that references to calcium fluoride and natural element continue to be used in their promotional material when describing municipal water fluoridation. Those paying attention would have heard from the council meeting the industrial compound name fluorosilicic acid and that other uses besides water fluoridation include cement hardener and wood preserver.

The health unit has infiltrated organizations such as the elementary school system, both Catholic and public. Packages were delivered to the schools via courier containing fluoride brochures (filled with misleading and one-sided information) with instructions to send home with the oldest child in the family. Before any action could be taken by school officials, most of the infamous material was handed out. Very sneaky.

The challenge for our community since this issue is far from over is to separate the fact from fluoride fiction. On your next dental visit, before you sign any petition, ask about the compound information. Ask your hygienist if they are aware of the source of fluorosilicic acid. If the individual doesn’t tell you that it comes from the scrubber system located in smokestacks of the phosphate fertilizer/mining industry then you are talking to someone ill-informed, selling you on fluoride.

Pro fluoriders call it calcium fluoride; non-fluoriders call a spade a spade, fluorosilicic acid to be exact. Charlie Bishop from the Lakehead Public Board can verify the arrival of the brochures from the TBDHU.
