I WOULD like to thank the Byron Bay Councillors who voted against fluoride. At least they are considering their citizens overall health and not being swayed by financial gain from the Health Department.

The Byron Bay Council are also complying with the law. Under Article 6, sect 1 of the UNESCO Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights states: Any preventive, diagnostic and/or therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information.

The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage of prejudice.

Under Article 6, sect 1 of the UNESCO Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights, over 2000 people who signed petitions, in the Ballina area, have not given their consent to the Ballina Shire Council, to treat them and their families with preventative or therapeutic measures for dental health via our water supply.

This is also a breach of our criminal law.

There are over 10000 science professionals worldwide who have rejected fluoride on the grounds that it can cause heath problems and yet Dr McDonald (Labour MP), Dr Brendon White, plus others who the Councillors are taking notice of, say they can't find any evidence that it harms people.

We can read, and the professionals against fluoride are a lot more highly qualified in the research of fluoride than our Councillors and public servants.
