Important Information re WHO's most current concerns re fluoridation and fluorides... it is clear with the studies coming out in quick succession that the authorities overseas are finally expressing alarm but softly soflty... recently I was sent information ofrom a firm of US Lawyers who are ofering to proceed with litigation on behalf of anyone who has develloped Osteosarcoma as result of Fluorides. Their link is http://www.waters-kraus.com/ ...it begins..

Millions of people are exposed to excessive amounts of fluoride through drinking water contaminated from natural geological sources. As a result, many suffer conditions ranging from mild dental fluorosis to crippling skeletal fluorosis. With the problem continuing to be unrecognized and neglected, guidance is sorely needed.
Clinical dental fluorosis is characterized by staining and pitting of the teeth. In more severe cases, all the enamel may be damaged. In skeletal fluorosis, fluoride accumulates in the bone progressively over many years, leading to stiffness and pain in the joints. In severe cases, it can cause changes to bone structure, calcification of ligaments, and crippling effects.
The World Health Organization's (WHO) publication, Fluoride in Drinking-water addresses this urgent need, providing the latest scientific evidence on the occurrence of fluoride, its health effects, methods to reduce excess levels, and analysis techniques.
Guidance is particularly needed because fluoride is found in all natural waters at some concentration. Low concentrations are good for teeth, but excessive concentrations can lead to debilitating disease, such as skeletal fluorosis, which has devastated some communities. In China alone, more than 10 million people are estimated to suffer from skeletal fluorosis.
While the global prevalence of dental and skeletal fluorosis is not entirely clear, it is known that water is normally the major source of fluoride exposure, with exposure from diet and from burning high fluoride coal also major contributors in some settings. Fluoride occurs at elevated concentrations in many areas of the world including Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean and southern Asia. One of the best known high fluoride areas extends from Turkey through Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, India, northern Thailand and China. However, there are many other areas with water sources that contain high fluoride levels and which pose a risk to those drinking the water, notably parts of the rift valley in Africa. Many of these areas are arid and alternative sources of water are not available.
This suffering caused by high levels of fluoride can be prevented. Although removal of excessive fluoride from drinking-water may be difficult and expensive, low-cost solutions that can be applied at a local level do exist. Methods outlined in the monograph include: use of crushed clay pots, bone charcoal, contact precipitation, or use of activated alumina (absorptive filter). It is important that local authorities consider the causes of fluorosis carefully and choose the best and most appropriate means of dealing with excess fluoride exposure taking into account the local conditions and sensitivities.
Fluoride in Drinking-water is one out of a series of WHO monographs, which address the management of other chemicals in drinking-water, such as arsenic or cyanotoxins.

HMMMI thought the meaning of the 33 foot sculpture (pictured below) recently erected at Grand Rapids - the home of the world's first mass fluoridation experiment - by the West Michigan Dental Association, was quite clear.
Regards
Dennis Stevenson
Firstly, at the right of the picture is a patient. That they are a dental patient is obvious from their mouth being wide open. As their tongue is all the way out, obviously they are screaming. We'll get to why they are screaming in a moment. Gathered around the patient are 5 dentists. Equally obviously, as there are five dentists and not just one, it must be a training session, as only one dentist is required to extract whatever money a patient might have.
The two dentists on the left can be seen to be senior to the other three, as is clearly shown by their height. The tallest dentist is the lead instructor and his colleague, on his immediate right, is the 'watchdog'. I'm sure all of us are aware that when a dentist speaks at a public meeting, there has to be another ADA approved dentist in the audience to report on what the first dentist says.?Naturally the same requirement exists when dentists are being trained. Though it is almost preposterous to consider that any ADA approved dentist would tell the truth (remember what happened to Mel Gibson in the movie Conspiracy Theory) the ADA is ever vigilant to ensure that no dentist should mention, even accidently, that fluoridation is anything but "absolutely safe and effective". Though it seems silly and is extremely unlikely to occur, imagine the repercussions if a dentist told students that fluorosis was chronic fluoride poisoning of the 'whole body' and not just a 'minor cosmetic effect' on teeth only?
Which leads us into exactly what the trainee-dentists were learning at the time the picture was taken. This is revealed by the attitude of the students. You will note their proximity to the patient: this shows that the 'cosmetic effect' of dental fluorosis is being discussed and specifically, the vast fees that can be made from gluing white plastic covers over the fluorosis disfigured teeth of patients - at $600 to $1,200 per tooth. This is, of course, why the patient is screaming.?
However, you can imagine why the trainees are so excited. Not only have they just learned how much they can charge patients, but they have also discovered that fluorosis, or 'egg-shell white' mottling as they prefer to call it, is a never-ending source of money, provided they keep promoting fluoridation, as this is what causes the mottling. Now they realise how they can easily pay cash for a new premier Mercedes every year, not to mention the endless golf and wonderful conferences sponsored and paid for by Mars Bars Pty. Ltd.
You will also notice at the bottom left side of the picture, almost hidden behind trees, is what can just be seen of a car window. The window, exactly positioned so that it has a clear view of the meeting through the trees, looks black. However, expanded digital film analysis reveals that state of the art video equipment is recording everything that is being done at the meeting. This is another requirement of Sigma-Delta-Sigma, the secret society of dentists, which dentists are on a blood oath never to mention. You may recall the deputy President of the NZ Dental Association who accidentally acknowledgedly that the society exists before he realized his error and stumbled out with "My membership of any organisation has got nothing to do with your interview." Have you ever seen him again?
Something to also be seen in the photograph is the golden path. Because of poor reflection, this shows in the photograph as a white section on which the dentists are standing. This is always there when dentists are being trained to ever remind them of the dental brotherhood and the riches that await them if they obey the 5 Golden Rules.
You will notice one of the dentists, the smallest and most junior one, has the 5 Golden Rules written on his back. Enlarged, they read:
1. I promise to always pretend I and brother dentists are doctors though we are not medically qualified and do not have doctorates.
2. I promise to protect any brother dentist who kills a patient with mercury or a topical fluoride treatment.
3. I promise to?charge every patient extras for: cleaning, topical fluoride treatment and x-rays and to never reduce fees or disclose to outsiders how many hundreds of thousands of dollars I make annually.
4. I promise never to publicly debate fluoridation but only to forever repeat the dental mantra "Fluoridation is absolutely safe and effective". I will always vehemently deny that fluoride is a rat poison.
5. I promise to follow the 50 year old published advice from the American Dental Association to always denigrate and ridicule those who speak against fluoridation, no matter how well qualified they are.
Hopefully this brought a smile to your lips...it did to ours but we are too easily amused.

Lancet Article warns of brain damage
Lancet Article warns – One in Six Children Brain Damaged by Industrial Pollutants
Thanks to Bill from UK Fluoridation blog...see my links
‘The Hastings Safe Water Association has just been informed of a study published in leading medical journal “The Lancet” that millions of children – “One in six children” throughout the world may have suffered brain damage as a result of industrial pollution. Says Therese Mackay, President of the Hastings Safe Water Association. In the past year there have been at least ten scientific articles like this warning of the extreme dangers of Fluorides to human health, now this latest one in the Lancet should have alarm bells ringing in even the most inflexible Fluoridation proponents ears.’
Therese Mackay says, “In light of this all Councils have a responsibility first, to the residents, especially to children, to call an immediate halt to any plans to fluoridate our water.”
In the Lancet, the two scientists Philippe Grandjean, from the University of Southern Denmark in Winslowparken and his co-author, Philip Landrigan, from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York conclude: “The combined evidence suggests that neurodevelopmental disorders caused by industrial chemicals has created a silent pandemic in modern society.”
The American and Danish researchers say that “ lead, methylmercury, arsenic and solvents such as ethanol and toluene are among 202 industrial and agricultural chemicals with potential to damage the brain... Other substances that could prove to be toxic in excessive amounts include fluoride, a common additive in drinking water and toothpaste.” End quote.
The Lancet article stated, “Potential effects of exposure to even tiny amounts of toxic chemicals include lower IQ scores and conditions such as autism, attention deficit disorder, and cerebral palsy.”
‘How many more nails does the coffin of Fluoridation need before the lid is finally secured? Worldwide, almost weekly, responsible and credible bodies of scientists are warning of grim long and short-term effects of Fluorides. One out of six of all our children worldwide is too big a price to pay. Therese Mackay said
‘We have kept our Council informed of these studies and they will not be able to say they did not know. But far better for the health of our community if they stop Fluoridation before it begins. President of The Hastings Safe Water Association said.

here is the 18 page judgement see post below re fluoride
http://www.healthfreedomlaw.com/Sherrell/Judgment%20Sherrel.pdf
http://www.healthfreedomlaw.com/Sherrell/Judgment%20Sherrel.pdf
Quackbusters Lose Anti-Flouridation Case go to http://quackbusteralert.blogspot.com/2006/11/quackbusters-lose-anti-flouridation.html for this below
7th Nov 2006
A federal judge ruled against the Quackbuster consortium and handed Darlene Sherrel a major victory in an anti-fluoridation case. Level heads and common sense judgment prevailed in what is another milestone for natural health.Text obtained from www.healthfreedomlaw.com--------------------------------------In yet another MAJOR VICTORY for the Anti-Fluoride Movement and a setback for Stephen Barrett (self-described "expert" on "quackery"), a Federal Court Judge in Eugene, Oregon, has ruled that Barrett could not prove his case against well known anti-fluoridation advocate, Darlene Sherrell.
Barrett filed his lawsuit against Darlene Sherrell in 1999 demanding $100,000 in "damages" for alleged defamation and sought an injunction against Sherrell for posting information about Barrett on her web site ( http://www.rvi.net/~fluoride).
Darlene Sherrell is a well known independent researcher and expert on the dangers of excessive daily intake of fluoride in human beings leading to chronic fluoride poisoning. Barrett is a prominent national activist who advocates the "safety" of fluoridation in drinking water. Sherrell testified that she believed that Barrett was a "virtual lobbyist" for medical doctors, drug, chemical and food companies.
Barrett operates a website ( www.quackwatch.com ) that attacks dozens of findings by independent researchers and alternative therapists, including chiropractors, as being "quacks." Among his attacks are challenges to the anti-fluoridation movement.
Barrett was a medical doctor who gave up his license to practice medicine in 1991 and has not practiced medicine ever since.
The was Barrett's first trial for defamation. This, even though he has managed to obtain settlements from other individuals that he has targeted in similar lawsuits.
The Law Offices of Carlos F. Negrete and Health Freedom Legal Defense Council agreed to accept Darlene Sherrell's case in order to give a voice to the anti-fluoridation movement and defend Sherrell.
Background:
In the summer of 1998, Darlene Sherrell, challenged Barrett to come forward to name a study demonstrating the safety of current fluoride levels in drinking water and the effect excessive daily intake of fluoride as a possible cause to chronic fluoride poisoning. At the time, in response to Sherrell's challenge Barrett was "careful to state that he is and was aware of hundreds of studies pertaining to the safety of fluoridation of drinking water..."
However, "...He did not testify that any study demonstrates the safety of current fluoridation levels..." Barrett had rebuked Sherrell's continuous challenges and sent a message to her stating that she (Sherrell) was "delusional."
On November 5, 2002, after a trial in October, 2002, Federal Judge Michael R. Hogan ruled in favor of Sherrell and against Barrett. He ordered the case dismissed.
The full ruling can be read here .
Before the trial, Barrett's defamation case against Sherrell had been languishing in the court for years awaiting trial. Trial was finally set for June, 2002.
Two weeks before trial, Sherrell engaged the Law Offices of Carlos F. Negrete and the Health Freedom Legal Defense Council based upon their experience with defending cases that had been filed by Barrett previously and their commitment to health freedom and environmental issues.
Darlene Sherrell was convinced of the correctness of her findings and public statements. She refused to settle with Barrett and pay any money to him or even remove the information about the dangers of Fluoride poisoning on her website. Instead, she was committed to having her "day in court" on the fluoridation issues and vigorously defend what she believes to have been bullying tactics of Barrett.
We congratulate Darlene Sherrell for her courage, conviction and commitment to advocating information about the dangers of chronic food poisoning.
Health Freedom Legal Defense Council and the Law Offices of Carlos F. Negrete are dedicated to representing individuals and organizations that share similar beliefs in health freedom and prevention of toxic contamination.
