Your Drinking Water Contains A Hazardous Waste-Fluoride!

Echo Editor Ian Murray writes

Shame Ian hasn't attended any of our meetings or read the letters sent in, if he had I'm sure common sense would say if just some of the negative things were true better to err on the side of safety.
Not put Fluorosilicic acid in and use the money to provide targeted treatment on those children who need it.

Southampton council leader promises fluoride referendum

Southampton council leader promises fluoride referendum

THE public will decide on fluoride.

That is among the pledges of the new man at the helm of SouthamptonCity Council.

Personally, Cllr Simon Letts is in favour of adding the chemical to the tap water of 200,000 people in the city and surrounding areas in a bid to improve the health of children’s teeth.

However he says that if and when the controversial decision becomes the council’s responsibility, he will hold a referendum.

He told the Daily Echo: “My personal view is clear, I am personally persuaded by the health arguments for fluoridation.

“But I am certainly in favour of the public having the chance to choose and should the decision be the council’s, then we would hold a public referendum.”..........

Is your coffee and biscuits habit robbing you of Nature's wonder nutrient?

Increased consumption of processed food is to blame for our magnesium deficiency, experts claim

Psychotherapist Susan Smith is ‘not keen on traditional medicine’, she says. So she decided to treat her sluggish gut with magnesium supplements. 

Within a few weeks, says the 55-year-old from Bromley, Kent, she felt noticeably stronger and more energetic. Her eyes — and sinuses — are now clearer, and she goes to the loo regularly.

Of course any persistent change in bowel habits should be investigated by a doctor. But for minor complaints, could this ‘alternative’ treatment really help?

Magnesium is a ‘very good bowel cleanser’, says Professor Jon Shaffer, a gastroenterologist with a special interest in nutrition at Salford Royal hospital. As we digest magnesium, it attracts fluid to the intestine. This means stools can be passed more easily and relaxes the stomach muscles, which aids evacuation. 

‘Magnesium can be taken orally as a very effective laxative, and it’s far less harmful than anything over the counter, which tends to stretch the colon,’ says Professor Shaffer.

Apart from helping with bowel health, magnesium is critical to a host of vital processes in the body. It helps keep heart rhythm steady, and is vital for healthy bones and teeth, muscle function, the nervous system and the production of energy. It also has an impact on psychological health.....

....The figures are even worse for young people, particularly young women. A staggering 51 per cent of girls aged 11 to 18 are thought to have an inadequate intake, compared with 28 per cent of boys. 

Experts say our increased consumption of processed food, such as commercially-prepared cakes, is to blame for our magnesium deficiency, as these are low in magnesium-rich ingredients.

Excess salt, coffee and alcohol can also lower our magnesium levels, according to a review of international research by the University of Maryland Medical Centre, because they make us need the loo more and so act as a magnesium ‘diuretic’. 

City dwellers may be more likely to have low magnesium levels because tap water is treated with chlorine and fluoride, which deplete the magnesium in it.

Deficiencies are also more common among women who have very heavy periods. 

And our ever more hectic lives don’t help either, as stress, anxiety and depression are known to actively deplete magnesium. 

Low magnesium is a particular worry for bone health. It helps our bodies absorb vitamin D (which we don’t get enough of anyway).

Echo - Fluoride in water: protesters plan new legal battle

7:00am Monday 13th May 2013 in News

PROTEST: demonstrators take to the streets of Southamton

CAMPAIGNERS against water fluoridation in Hampshire are planning a fresh legal battle in the courts, the Daily Echo can reveal.

In the latest salvo of their long running battle, Hampshire Against Fluoridation (HAF) claim they have found a loophole which could block plans to add fluoride to tap water.

Despite losing a legal challenge last year, the group claim they could still yet stall plans to add the chemical to supplies for Southampton,Eastleigh, Totton, Netley and Rownhams.

HAF campaigner Professor Stephen Peckham said legal advice was now being sought into whether Public Health England (PHE) had to carry through the plans..........

"PHE did not comment on a legal challenge but said it was assuming responsibility for the implementation process of the water fluoridation scheme in Southampton and parts of southwest Hampshire area.
A spokesman said: “The approach used will be consistent with other water fluoridation schemes across the country, all of which will be managed by PHE. The local implementation process is ongoing and PHE will shortly start discussions with Southern Water.
“The technical feasibility study which was carried out before the 2008 consultation is being updated by Southern Water."
“The final report is not yet completed.”

Fluoride Is Poison ~ Brainwash Update

Alternative Health with Dr. Lind by Peter Lind Read more

WASHINGTON, May 8, 2013 — You may be using fluoride-enhanced toothpaste as well as drinking water with fluoride added to it.
Teeth and Bad Thyroid
Fluoride is an environmental waste product, and fluorine is the most highly reactive element in the entire periodic table. Read your toothpaste warning. It says “do not consume; if you do, call Poison Control immediately.” Why? Because fluoride is toxic. A dose of fluoride from five grams of sodium fluoride can kill and adult, and in lower doses it causes fluorosis, which weakens and deforms bones, causes dental discoloration, damages kidneys, and has been clearly correlated with cognitive damage (it drops your IQ)....
....Fluoride is not an essential element for human physiology. It should not be poured into city drinking water. It should be more tightly controlled, more than placing a warning to call the Poison Control Center on tubes of toothpaste.
Adding fluoride to anything that is ingested by humans is bad science and very poor public health.

Dr Peter Lind practices metabolic and neurologic chiropractic in his wellness clinic in Salem, Oregon. USA. He is the author of 5 books on health, one novel, and hundreds of wellness articles. His clinical specialty is in physical, nutritional, and emotional stress.
