The Alliance for Natural Health report: Despite decades of support for water fluoridation, it appears officials at the US Office of the Surgeon General are backpedalling on its support, due to the publication of a systematic review by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). The review, for which publication was extremely delayed, found fluoridation harms children’s brain development. The Defender has been given access to emails released by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request as part of a lawsuit seeking to end water fluoridation in the US

UK consultation on plans to fluoridate water in North East England
The Alliance for Natural Health give us an update this week: In the UK, a public consultation is due to take place on the issue of water fluoridation. Approximately 1.6 million people in North East England are at risk of having their water supplies fluoridated whether they agree or not. For anyone concerned about the proposals, a dedicated website has been set up to oppose the fluoridation of water in the North East. Funding for the fluoridation programme has allegedly already been secured suggesting the consultation is no more than a box ticking exercise, which is all the more reason for people to stand up and take action against the mass medication of the population with what is little more than a poison. If fluoridation in the North East is approved, it's only a matter of time before it's rolled out across the whole of England

'A decades old debate over tooth decay and water fluoridation is back on the table in the UK'
Here's the Alliance for Natural Health's article out today plus link to the petition:
"In September 2021 the UK government signalled its intent to fluoridate the entire UK water supply. The move effectively removes control for such decisions from local councils in the UK, who were always responsible prior, in favour of centralisation. Fluoridation of the water supply constitutes a widespread crude and toxic medical intervention that will affect an unsuspecting public, under the guise that it unequivocally prevents tooth decay.
"What’s more, the UK Government is highly unlikely to inform UK citizens that it will effectively be mandating what amounts to mass medication of the population based on extremely limited data; without disclosing potential harms or obtaining properly informed consent. Something of a recurring theme at the moment."

No plans to implement Southampton Water Fluoridation Scheme
Public Health England (PHE) will take no further action to implement a proposed water fluoridation scheme that would have served around 160,000 Southampton residents and a further 35,000 people in neighbouring parts of south west Hampshire.
PHE endorses the efficacy and safety of water fluoridation in reducing children’s tooth decay but does not wish to proceed without the backing of Southampton City Council, the local authority where most of those who would benefit from fluoridation live. Both Hampshire County Council and Southampton City Council oppose the scheme.
PHE chief executive Duncan Selbie explained: “Water fluoridation would make a big difference to the dental health of Southampton children, particularly those in the most socially deprived areas. We regret having to drop the scheme, but we believe it is the right decision in the circumstances.”
“We want to work with Southampton City Council to tackle Southampton’s high rates of tooth decay. We have offered support to the Council in coming up with plans to reduce tooth decay among local children.”

Israel ends fluoridation
Just occasionally during the long sordid history of fluoridation an individual stands up against the bullying tactics of the arrogant promoters of fluoridation. This has just happened in Israel where the Minister of Health Yael German has ended fluoridation in Israel despite the vocal and vociferous attacks of fluoridation promoters which have been gleefully - and one-sidedly - reported in The Jerusalem Post. Doubtless these ill-informed critics will continue their bullying tactics and do everything they can to encourage dentists and doctors outside Israel to join their ignorant outcry. However, before the latter do so they should read carefully the letter below written to the Health Minister by Dr. Hardy Limeback, one of Canada's leading dental researchers and former head of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto. You can also see FAN’s open letter to Minister German sent on June 25, supporting her opposition to fluoridation and signed by many professionals from around the world. We congratulate the Israeli Minister of Health, Yael German, for performing her job with integrity while under great pressure. She has offered the international public health community the model to follow on the fluoridation issue.
