The Hastings Safe Wa
Fluoridation the UN Right of Informed Consent
The Hastings Safe Water Association
23/9/04
Dear Editor,
I would like to ensure that all Health Department Bureaucrats, doctors, dentists, councillors and residents are well aware that Fluoridation of the drinking water supply contravenes the United Nations International Covenant on Human Rights. Australia has been a signatory to this since the early 1980’s.
The Hastings Safe Water Association spoke with an official, a Mr Hill, in his capacity as a specialist on the UN Covenant, from the Attorney General’s Office in Canberra recently on this issue. In particular discussion concerned Article 7, but also Articles 10 and 19.
Article 7 says in part, “…In particular, no one shall be subjected, without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation”. Mr Hill said that this article is an attempt to out law practices such as State sanctioned medical or scientific experimentation on people without their “Informed Consent.”
He went on to say “Consent must be given on a free and proper basis, knowing full well what the person is consenting to as distinct from consent that was given without the person having full knowledge of all the facts.”
The Health Department itself has stated they are still doing research on Fluoridation; therefore Fluoridation itself is still an experiment.
There are hundreds if not thousands of properly done scientific studies warning about the short and long term dangers of Fluoridation, to humans, animals and to the environment.
If the drinking water is fluoridated we are being medicated without choice as adding Sodium Silicio Fluoride or Hydro Silicic Fluoride to our water supply takes away our choice. It is virtually impossible to avoid Fluoridated water if you live in a Fluoridated community.
Reverse Osmosis Water filters are extremely wasteful of water due to their efficiency and to the difficulty of removing Fluorides. They are expensive. Also you need to filter water used in cooking, as well as drinking. Restaurants and coffee shops will not be able to properly filter all water used in cooking and making drinks, so unless you plan on staying home, you will have no choice, neither will your children have a choice at friends places or at school.
Our Health Department Bureaucrats, Doctors, Dentists and most Councillors are comfortable with acting in contravention to UN covenants and see nothing wrong with forced medication, a medication, which is in every sense of the word an experiment, without informed choice, something one person cannot give for another.
The evidence is gathering of its disastrous effects of Water Fluoridation on all living things. Litigation will follow, and is current in some places. I doubt that there are Insurers large enough in the Hastings to cover the costs, should there be accidental overdosing in the short term, or to cover the side effects that are known to all. We believe that the Hastings Council already pays out $1million in insurance costs for water, and this before Fluoridation.
We reported on the town city of Escondido in California, a short while back. Within the first 24hrs of Fluoridation they had an equipment failure in which there was a large spillage of flourosilicic acid into a containment system. The City of Escondido and the California Department of Health Services are now engaged in a Litigation Action against citizens of Escondido. It happens.
They cannot ever say in future that they did no know. They know and they have been told. What they do now is a matter for the public record.
Yours sincerely,
Therese Mackay
