Letters to editor
Dear Sir,
I keep reading about the benefits of fluoride in water supplies and how it is supposed to be good for teeth. It is unusual that I often read this in the Cairns Post and the Courier Mail that are both Murdoch newspapers. I wonder why they push fluoride and vaccines? It is easy to find scientific publications that say fluoride is killing us slowly and causing a lot of medical problems. I have had a first hand experience with the problems related to toxic fluoride being added to drinking water. In 2004 when Mareeba had fluoride in the water, we had to send our son to primary school. He had been home schooled or on school of the air for most of his life on a cattle property and was drinking rainwater.
When he went to school in town he had to drink town water.
After being at school for about a year, we noticed his teeth were becoming quite motley with patches of white like staining and he complained of soreness. I asked a dentist what could be causing this and he said straight away, fluorosis!
He asked if we were giving him fluoride tablets which no sane parent would ever do. Of course we were not doing that.
Then I contacted the local council who told me the amount of the dose of fluoride going into the water, and when I checked it up it was quite high compared to other places like Townsville that I checked.
I also found out the fluoride the councils use is a very toxic by-product of aluminium production and comes from the refinery at Gladstone. It is not naturally occurring fluoride.
We then sent him to school with rainwater bottles and told him not to drink the tap water and put him on a course of anti-oxidant supplements. A few months later the symptoms disappeared and his health improved.
His sister attended the same school and drank only rainwater. She had no health problems. We did hear of a few other kids with similar problems and I told the council.
In 2013 he developed a cancerous tumor on a kidney. A search of medical journals will show that ultimately this is a classical symptom of fluoride poisoning, confirmed by a local doctor and naturopath.
He was able to get the tumor removed and has since been on health supplements to repair his kidneys.
My son’s siblings did not drink town water and had perfect health.
I am patiently waiting for the anti-fluoride lobby to get sufficient funds to mount a challenge to forced fluoridation. I will contribute towards it. Their legal opinion says we will thrash the governments that force fluoride onto the population.
I warn Cairns people to watch out for the Cairns Post and the state government, because they want to poison you.
Yours faithfully,
Anti fluoride mum!

Fluoride: An Invisible Killer

“We would not purposely add arsenic to the water supply.
And we would not purposely add lead. But we add fluoride.
The fact is that fluoride is more toxic than lead
and just slightly less toxic than arsenic.” (source
“The federal maximum contaminant level (MCL)
for lead is 15 parts per billion (ppb), 5 ppb
for arsenic and 4000 ppb for fluoride.”

Ineffectiveness of Reverse Osmosis units
Reverse Osmosis [RO] manufacturers’ claim they can remove fluoride. Don’t believe their claim$.
RO units work on the same principle as our kidneys. Think of a mesh, like the mosquito netting on your screen door. The mesh lets in air, but not mosquitos, because air molecules are smaller than mosquitos.
An RO unit is thus great for removing “heavy metals” like Pb (Lead), Hg (Mercury) and Cd (Cadmium), as well as Cl- family compounds like PCBs and PCP’s (Poly Chlorinated Phenyls and BiPhenyls) because these are all large molecules relative to the size of H2O. In fact, even Cl (the smallest of these) is relative large (molecular weight of 35 g/M) and so if the RO unit is new and it is well made (ie. with precision tolerances on the RO membrane) it might even filter out some of the Cl. Note the “ifs” and conditions in the last sentence.
So, an RO unit will not filter out F atoms, as F atoms are too similar in size to H2O molecules.
Distillation units will also not work because similar sized polar molecules have similar boiling and freezing points.
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit and HF boils at 203 to 239 degress Fahrenheit. So, when your distillation unit has warmed up the water to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and the water starts to boil off (evaporate), *so* does the Fluoride! It stays right with the water vapor, and gets condensed back into liquid at the end of the process.
So, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise and don’t trust those that do.
