SUPPORTING OUR NEIGHBOURS TO THE SOUTH
Dr. Bob shares with the Washington Ministry of Health
Good day, Washington State policy and decision makers!
My name is Dr. Bob Dickson, from not too far away in colder Canada, but presently escaping in the Canary Islands. I have heard you are making some important decisions around keeping public water safe.
I won’t inundate you with science, as I suspect you have more than your share.
But, a very important point—Calgary City Councillors, when they stopped fluoridation in 2011, stated that they are not scientists nor expected to be or become scientists. However, they are well-trained and versed in the ethics and morality of keeping their citizens safe and protected, and that is what they based their decision to remove fluoride on, even more than on the accumulating evidence of harm.
But just some quick and hard facts and points to take note of please.
Collusion at the highest levels, to protect an outdated, harmful and failing public health initiative, is unacceptable in our modern world.
I can sum up artificial water fluoridation in a very few words:
Lacks common sense
Highly unethical, as no informed consent, and no control of dose or dosage
Violates the Precautionary Principle
Damages kid’s brains, especially in impoverished demographics
Fluoride is NOT needed for a single bodily function
The science has and is speaking volumes! In the long-delayed National Toxicology Program (NTP) Report, 64 out of 72 studies show neurotoxicity. That is brain damage in any language! And to possibly save 1/2-1 cavity in a lifetime?
It’s time to put water fluoridation where it belongs—in the Museum of Failed Medical Practices!
Thank you, and best of luck in your deliberations!
