What we have been doing in the last year

At our 2007 A.G.M. we had an in depth presentation on the contra –indications of fluoride from homeopath Risa Mohabir and a brief presentation by Bernard Seward about his near half-century involvement with raising the awareness of the dangers of fluoridating our water supplies.

Through the year we have kept a watchful eye on areas such as Southampton and Manchester, which are doing feasibility studies on the costing of water fluoridation. We submitted letters to the Nuffield Council on Bioethics where in their issue of Nov. 2007, one of the topics was the fluoridation of our water supplies. Although they seemed biased towards accepting fluoridation on the grounds of helping children in poor areas and deprived families [at the expense of possible health issues which they suggested were unproven] they did, however, publish a graph showing the continuing decrease in the number of bad teeth in twelve year old children in almost all European countries whether fluoridated or not. In fact if the indicated trend continues, most children would have no bad teeth in a decade or so!!

Bernard attended a conference in London on the contents of this Nov. 2007 issue but as he put forward the suggestion that the source of the H2SiF6 was a bi-product of the artificial fertilizer industry, he had the microphone snatched from his hand before he could say any more!!

We have continued to write letters in response to false information on fluoridation and to try to keep up a high profile for our case with letters to the press whenever possible. With a further recent push by the government health minister Alan Johnson, early in February on fluoridation of our water supplies, we were pleased to see many articles in newspapers with doubts and objections. This is good publicity for us, as the Strategic Health Authority will have to consult the public before any fluoridation can take place.

Thank you to those who have written to their Primary Care Trust and or their Strategic Health Authority. It is still not too late to do so, or even to write again. You will find a letter written originally to the newspaper from which you can get ideas if you wish. We continue to meet monthly and would welcome new people to our committee. Rob Mehta
