OT: Fluoride Boiling the Frog Slowly

[Guest guest]

forwarding.....

 

I have used _Boiling the Frog_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog)

_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog_

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog) as a moniker for this 'out of sight

out of mind' issue for most. As

priorities go, I implore you to familiarize yourselves with this most

important matter pronto. Nobody but nobody else will do it for you! As long as

we

keep subjecting ourselves especially _our children _

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2007/09/22/fluoride_poisoning_our_childre\

n.htm) to toxins (See:

_Water Toxicity - Hydrofluorosilicic acid_ (http://www.newmediaexplorer.o

rg/chris/2008/01/28/water_toxicity_hydrofluorosilicic_acid.htm)

_http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2008/01/28/water_toxicity_hydrofluorosili\

cic_acid.htm_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2008/01/28/water_toxicity_hydrofluorosil

icic_acid.htm) ) we will either remain or become sick, develop brain fog

etc. and not thrive to our potential. Thus impairing our ability to think

clearly and make decisions on how to deal with everyday issues let alone the

larger issues without depending on some self serving authority... We are truly

missing the boat and simply consuming our valuable time on issues that only

clear thinkers and less impaired people can really take on! (and yes there is a

lot that needs to be done). So activism starts with the basics first

everything else is a distraction and simply prevents us from doing what we

really want

and can do. This is exactly how those in power (authority) like it as so

many are simply kept 'barefoot and pregnant' so to speak.

 

Please and take matters in your own hands as no one else

especially those who pretend to look after our interests are clearly too busy

looking

after their own first!

Dear Chris,

 

Included below is the first issue of Fluoride Action Network's (FAN) new

monthly email newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter will be to summarize

the key developments that occur each month, and provide links for further

information on the web.

 

For those readers who currently receive our more frequent " FAN Bulletins "

and would prefer to only receive the monthly mailing, please email us at:

(monthly?subject=Only%20Monthly%20Newsletters%20Please)

and we will make a change to your subscription

preference.

 

1) " Second Thoughts About Fluoride " Reports Scientific American

 

The January issue of Scientific American magazine contains an excellent

review of the fluoride controversy. According to the article, " scientific

attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift. " According to an

accompanying note from the editors: " Some recent studies suggest that

over-consumption

of fluoride can raise the risks of disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain

and the thyroid gland. "

 

Of particular interest in the Scientific American review are comments made

by Dr. John Doull, the Chairman of the recent National Research Council review

of fluoride in drinking water. According to Doull, he was surprised to see

the amount of evidence linking fluoride to altered thyroid function. " The

thyroid changes do worry me, " Doull told author Dan Fagin.

 

Doull added: " What the committee found is that we've gone with the status

quo regarding fluoride for many years?for too long, reallyy?and now we need to

take a fresh look. "

2) Major Conference on Fluoride Toxicity Announced for August 2008

 

It's official. Dr Hardy Limeback, from the University of Toronto, has

recently announced that Toronto will be the site of the International Society

for

Fluoride Research's (ISFR) upcoming conference on fluoride toxicity. Titled

" Fluoride: Bone & Brain Effects " , the conference will feature presentations

from research scientists around the world, and will take place in Toronto from

August 7th-10th. On the last day of the conference, FAN will be organizing

networking and organizing workshops, which should prove of great value to

activists working in the trenches. To sign up, and read more about the

conference,

3) FAN Launches New Online Video Series of " Professional Perspectives "

 

On January 16th, FAN launched the first in a series of online video

vignettes which will be produced throughout 2008. The series, titled

" Professional

Perspectives " , will feature some of the 1,350+ medical, scientific, and

environmental experts who have signed FAN's " Professionals' Statement to End

Water

Fluoridation. "

 

The first installment of the series features Dr. Bill Osmunson, a practicing

dentist who promoted fluoridation for the first 25 years of his professional

career. In the short 5-minute video, Dr. Osmunson discusses some of the

reasons that led him to reconsider, and ultimately oppose, fluoridation. To
