fluoride out of our water

In Australia government adds fluoride to public water supplies to treat tooth decay in humans. However this practice is ineffective, unethical and dangerous. It should stop.

Fluoride should never be added to water because
- Safety and effectiveness haven't been properly assessed.
- It is wrong and unethical to medicate the whole population.
- Medicating population without consent is tyranny.
- Administrating medication is not the government's job - we have medical institutions for this.
- If fluoride is good for teeth why drink it? We already have enough fluoride in toothpastes.
- Ingesting fluoride makes as much sense as drinking shampoo because it's good for hair.
- It pollutes the environment.
- It contributes to long term fluoride overdose.
Fluoridation of public water supplies violates core principles of pharmacology making impossible
- to deliver the right dose
- to right patient
- at the right time
- if appropriate
Water fluoridation fails to
- Assess individual sensitivity.
- Consider existing level of fluoride accumulated in body.
- Control the dose.
- Understand long-term health consequences.
- Assess the risks.
Ingesting fluoridated water is damaging for health because
- Fluoride is a confirmed neurotoxin.
- Flouride accumulates in body.
- Fluoride affects whole body, not just teeth.
- Therefore it cannot possibly be harmless.
Fluoride added to water is not pharmaceutical quality
- essentially it is untreated industrial waste.
- contaminated with other toxic substances.
In May 2009 there was an accident in Queensland when 20 times more fluoride was released to water than allowable limit - no compensations and no guarantees against future accidents.

Water fluoridation is crime against humanity. Politicians who let this happen should be shamed and prosecuted either for malicious intent or negligence leading to damage of public health and environment.

Public water fluoridation is a violation of medical ethics and human rights.
