To: Daily Telegraph in response to article by Boris Johnson

Dear Boris,

POLONIUM 210

'The most poisonous substance in the world' - Is it? I'm not sure how it stands in relation to Plutonium but it can't be far away.

"One drop the size of a full stop; enough to poison a legion" Your own words, Boris; and worth committing to memory, since I guess that puts it into general perspective for most of us, especially the 9 per cent of the UK population who are getting it daily through their water supply.

Polonium 210, discovered by Mme Curie in her research on Radium, has a safe threshold value
of 5.3 trillionth parts of a gram. In figures that is (stand back!) 0.0000000000053
In other words, it's lethal in any kind of quantity perceivable to the layman and yet, as a variable component of the fluorosilicic acid used to treat the tap water of the folks in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, the Welsh border counties and parts of the North East, it is approved for use by the Department of Health (or do I mean 'Stealth'?).

At a recent conference of the taxpayer-funded British Fluoridation Society, Professor Michael Lennon called for a further 20 per cent of the population to be fluoridated - without consultation, a one-to-one signed agreement, human rights or regard for the illegality of such a measure. That would bring the total up to 18 million English citizens (Scotland has disowned it), fluoridated through their water supplies because (it is claimed) a relatively tiny minority of children have bad teeth.

It really is about time that you and the Daily Telegraph took the lid off this dreadful scam which has been blowing hot and cold for the last fifty years.

The presence of Polonium is bad enough, but if the radiation does't get at you, the heavy metals will. It took a few £billion to get rid of Lead in petrol; so how do we justify putting it back into circulation via the water supplies? And Mercury! And Cadmium! And Chromium! And Silicon!

When, last October, I challenged NICE to comment on Fluoridation, its reply was to the effect that since 'fluoride' is not a medicine, being uncertificated for both public consumption and as a medicinal product, it was outwith its area of responsibility.

So I suppose that gets NICE off the hook for anything to do with the nation-wide supply of an untreated industrial waste chemical containing carcinogenic and neurotoxicant substances, high level corrosives and radionuclides having infinitesimal safety thresholds? That, folks, in case you didn't know, is "Fluoride - the magic bullet for children's teeth."

We acquired it in the 40s, courtesy of the US Defense Department which had immeasurable quantities of Gaseous Hydrogen Fluoride stockpiled in the wake of the Manhattan Project. If the technology hasn't changed, the Iranians will be accumulating it similarly with their Uranium enrichment.

It is non-biodegradable and probably the ultimate pollutant. 60 per cent of it in our water is retained by the renal function. It corrodes glass. It destroys 66 of the 83 enzymes we all need to function correctly, so the effect on the immune system does not need much elaboration - bad news for the recovery of surgical cases, AIDS patients, especially in fluoridated South Africa; and very young fluorine-hypersensitive infants whose premature deaths are attributed to other causes. Insofar as teeth are concerned, it causes more problems long term than it is claimed to prevent, dental and skeletal fluorosis being at the forefront.

I have tried previously to communicate with you on this subject and I will probably do so again, but please don't dismiss me as a 'nutter'. There are enough of those among the self-interested cross-party members in the Palace of Westminster and in the DoH. The web site of the National Pure Water Association is a good source of researched scientific reference and I would especially commend to your attention the following: http://safewatercampaign.blogspot.com

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Respectfully, Bernard J Seward
