Next week I am going to down to Sydney (Australia) to begin to have my teeth fixed...by fixed I mean to have all the Amalgam fillings removed and to get rid of t root canal which has been troubling me ever since the local dentist convinced me I had to have one... In Austrailia the best known specialist dentist who does this properly, ensuring you don't cop toxic loads of mercury when they drill out the old muck is dr Robert gammal. I have his link here and on this blog permanently. Before going to Sydney for this which i have been wsaving for and hoping to have done for ages... I had a look at the web site... of the clinic. It is excellent and has really up to date information of health issues caused by dentistry...and fluorides... I hope you will get as much out of this site as I have. There is always something new to learn every day. http://www.bcd.com.au/

Yet another nail in the coffin of Fluoridation has been reported from Israel which began introducing artificial Fluoridation in the '80s. A health committee is recommending fluoridation be stopped until the matter is appropriately researched. The reason for the study being: "not a single definitive study demonstrates that the process has any benefit for dental health" and "adding fluoride might even be harmful."
When mandatory fluoridation was introduced into Israel four years ago a storm blew up in the Knesset (Israeli Parliament): apart from the protest against enforcing fluoridation, points were raised about harm to the environment and health. Professor Adin (Israeli Health Committee) said that the committee will recommend removing the requirement to add fluoride to the water and that every municipal authority will be permitted to make its own decision. "It is assumed that adoption of this (committee) recommendation will result in most local authorities (in Israel) ceasing to add fluoride to the drinking water for the time being.”
Israel joins most of the world community in this view. Australia as one of the most heavily fluoridated countries on earth still has high decay rates, as much in Fluoridated Western Sydney as in fluoridated Melbourne. Studies have shown no difference in decay rates in fluoridated and unflouridated areas. The Israeli Government was unable to find one single definitive study demonstrating the efficacy of Fluoridation in stopping tooth decay.
At this stage with country after country rejecting Fluoridation it would be wise governance to bide time and wait to see the outcome of the multitude of studies, the weight of which can no longer be ignored by the health authorities who at senior level appear more interested in protecting their own jobs and prestige than in looking out for the health of the population they are well paid to protect.
Our high rate of Water Fluoridation means we are out of step with the rest of the countries of the world most of whom have rejected water fluoridation for health and environment reasons.
