Current Mood: Esctatic

5 January 2009                                                          MEDIA RELEASE - QAWF

Three Queensland government Ministers – the Premier, Anna Bligh and the Ministers for Health and Water are being forced to change or justify their decision to add toxins - including from sewerage and fluoride to Queenslanders’ drinking water.

Two safe water advocacy groups, the Peoples Class Action group and Queenslanders for Safe Water, on Friday 2 January 2008 served legal notice on Ministers Craig Wallace and Stephen Robertson in the form of more than 600 individual letters from people demanding their rights under the Judicial Review Act.

The letters request the Ministers to properly investigate the scientific evidence, including more than 200 pages of references to scientific and other evidence attached to the letters, and then make a decision to recommend to the cabinet the repeal of the legislation enabling the addition of fluoride or sewerage water toxins to the public water supply.

Should this request not be complied with, the letters then invoke the provisions of the Judicial Review Act 1991 to require Written Statements of Reasons for the failure to do as requested. Each letter must be fully and personally answered within 28 days.

This tactic by law requires answers. Unlike petitions, which politicians notoriously ignore, the Law mandates that the Ministers must provide answers, and if the answers are not forthcoming, the two groups promise to drag the Ministers into the Supreme Court and force them to justify their refusal to recommend to cabinet and the Parliament, the repeal of the fluoride and recycled water legislation.

Spokesperson Bruce Bell said: “There is no way any sane person who examined the mountain of scientific evidence could ever support these toxins going into our water. The Supreme Court would be forced to declare the Ministers’ decisions invalid in Law. And that would be a first for the people and real democracy in action.”

Current Mood: Confused

I highly disagree with the entire concept - if you think about it from the angle that every military institution in the country is fluoridated or has had bromide added to it (which is a close relative to fluoride in its chemical arrangement) for the purpose of decreasing the urge for sex.

Fluoride accumulates in your brain in the very sensitive section called the ‘Pineal Gland’. Some ancient philosophies believe that this gland is the ‘Third Eye’ or the spiritual centre of your body, with the purpose of performing extra-sensory functions as a fully evolved human. You can see in the eyes of the public, especially areas that have been fluoridated, a certain ‘lifelessness’. They are DE-HUMANISING *everyone* Will you be a conformist robot?

You can see in their skin their general health,the blotchy, dry flaky skin as opposed to rosy tight-pored skin. This is evidence enough that this s toxic poison should not be ingested.

This needs to be stopped, and the evil dictators who decided that this should be our fate, shall feel the wrath of their own karmic dues.

43 People have signed a letter to the Minister for Natural Resources and Water. and more people signing up every day. This report is being delivered to the Minister.

These letters by individuals  requests from the Minister reasons why he has not considered all the evidence now available as to the severe health side effects from drinking fluorinated water.

Fluoride has proven to cause problems with Thyroid and Pineal Glands, Asthma, skin rashes, Immune system deficiency, Digestive system, and is lowering the IQ of Children. The Minister has 28 days to respond.
The ADA USA  issued warning to mothers with infants not to use fluorinated water in their formula, but our Government here is ignoring this scientific warning..

Recent News Paper Polls showed 87% and 93% of Queenslanders do not want fluoride, and regard it as a very bad poison,  Cafes and Restaurants are displaying signs that they will supply NON fluorinated water for their patrons.

A group rally will be held to support the action against the  Government.

FLUORIDATION HAS COMMENCED IN SOME PARTS OF THE GOLD COAST WITH MOLENDINAR BEING THE FIRST AREA TO BE DOSED, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE IMPLEMENTED UNTIL ALL AREAS OF THE GOLD COAST HAVE BEEN FLUORIDATED BY END OF DECEMBER 2008, ACCORDING TO THE LATEST BLIGH GOVERNMENT NOTICES.

WARNING! Avoid foods and beverages made with fluoridated water (not necessarily listed on the label). Ask your favourite restaurants and cafes to install fluoride filters for water used in making their food and beverages - and keep enjoying your cappuccinos! MOTHERS - PROTECT YOUR BABIES!!!  Do not mix infant formula with fluoridated water - or use reconstituted juice (which is most often made up using fluoridated water - many with 0.7ppm fluoride concentrations). Babies can drink up to 4 times their bodyweight in liquids and will be getting a much higher more severe dosage over and above the recommended safety limit.

DOWNLOAD NEW FLUORIDE ADVERTISEMENT: HELP RAISE AWARENESS OF ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS. Please help to warn others of the dangers. We appeal to any individuals or groups in various Queensland regions that can raise money for advertising in their local newspapers to get the message out there. Many people still don’t understand how toxic sodium silicofluoride is and must be warned to protect their families and children.  You are welcome to use this ad for free so you only have to find the cost of the advertising space.  You can also put it on your websites.

SIGN WORLDWIDE PETITION TO STOP WATER FLUORIDATION… http://www.petitiononline.com/4001k/

THE QUEENSLAND WATER PETITION REQUESTS THE PARLIAMENT TO GRANT A REFERENDUM OF THE PEOPLE ON 1)  FLUORIDATION AND 2) DRINKING OF RECYCLED SEWAGE - as per the people’s democratic right of choice not to be medicated or to be forced to drink re-used water from sewage.

“I respect your right to smoke, but don’t force me to do it.”

NEARLY 3,500 PETITION SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN TABLED IN PARLIAMENT BY RAY STEVENS UP TO THE LAST SITTING OF 2008.  MORE SIGNED PETITIONS ARE STILL FLOODING IN, BUT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.  KEEP THEM COMING IN AS THIS WILL BE A DEFINING ISSUE IN THE UPCOMING QUEENSLAND STATE ELECTIONS.  THE ISSUE OF FORCED MASS MEDICATION WITHOUT CONSENT AND WITHOUT MEDICAL MONITORING OF QUANTITIES OF CONSUMPTION OR ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS HAS FAR WIDER IMPLICATIONS THAN MANY POLITICIANS REALISE.  IT GOES TO THE HEART OF WHAT IS DEMOCRACY AND IS A BLATANT VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

*** CLICK HERE TO OPEN PETITION, THEN PRINT OUT ***

NOTE: This is a paper petition which combines the issues of fluoridation and recycled sewage for both to be the subjects of referendum.  This is not the same as the E-Petition on LNP member Ray Steven’s website http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/view/EPetitions_QLD/CurrentEPetition.aspx?PetNum=1141&lIndex=-1 which deals only with the ‘recycled sewage to drinking water’ issue. Neither is it the same as the Fluoridation petition on the www.qawf.org site, as this deals only with the issue of fluoridation. You may sign each ‘different’ petition, but not the same petition twice.

PLANS ON HOLD FOR DRINKING RECYCLED EFFLUENT:  Plans for drinking recycled (re-used) sewage water has received a temporary reprieve from the bligh government - pending the election outcome.  They have moved to a position of not implementing the measures unless the Wivenhoe dam water dips below 40%  The pressure to change position has been in response to public pressure and the LNP taking it up as an election issue.  However LNP have still included an ‘exclusion clause’ in their position and they would also implement drinking recycled sewage ‘in an Armageddon situation’.  Well what does that mean exactly?  Why do they have to give themselves that loophole at all when over 90% of water is used by industry and power stations?  If they gave all of the recycled sewage to industry and power stations they wouldn’t even have enough to supply all their needs.  It is not necessary to take such risks with people’s health under any circumstances whatsoever.

PUBLIC MEETINGS A GREAT SUCCESS TO RAISE AWARENESS! The community has reacted and rallied against the forced medication of our population with doses of industrial grade fluoridation chemicals, and against the introduction of recycled sewage to drinking water.  Successful public meetings were held in Brisbane on 15 November by Queenslanders for Safe Water, Air and Food Inc www.qawf.org and on Gold Coast on 16 November by CADS (Citizens Against Drinking Sewage)

INFORMATION RALLIES ARE BEING PLANNED FOR THE GOLD COAST AND BRISBANE BY ‘QUEENSLANDERS FOR SAFE WATER, AIR AND FOOD INC’, IN CONJUNCTION WITH GOLD COAST VOLUNTEERS EARLY IN 2009…  Anyone wishing to volunteer and assist with the organisation of events please contact Merilyn Haines at www.qawf.org (Email: info@qawf.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Fluoride is the Active Toxin in Rat Poisons and Cockroach Powder

December 5, 2008, 2:51 pm by Partydavo

Common sense would dictate, then, that this can’t be a good thing to put in your body, and your instincts would be correct.

Once inside your body, fluoride destroys your enzymes by changing their shape. You may remember that your body depends on thousands of enzymes to perform various cell reactions, and without these enzymes, we would all die. They are able to perform their reactions because they have a specific shape that allows them to work with other elements in your body, like a lock and key.

Once fluoride destroys their shape, however, your body does not recognize the enzymes, and in fact will view them as foreign invaders and attempt to attack them.

When your enzymes are damaged, it can lead to collagen breakdown, eczema, tissue damage, skin wrinkling, genetic damage, and immune suppression. It can also cause problems with your:

• Immune system
• Digestive system
• Respiratory system
• Blood circulation

• Kidney function
• Liver function
• Brain function
• Thyroid function

Studies from China have even confirmed that elevated fluoride exposure leads to reduced I.Q. in children. This is understandable when you consider that even at levels as low as 1 ppm, studies have demonstrated direct toxic effects on brain tissue, including:

• Reduction in lipid content
• Impaired anti-oxidant defense systems
• Damage to your hippocampus
• Damage to your purkinje cells
• Increased uptake of aluminum
• Formation of beta-amyloid plaques (the classic brain abnormality in Alzheimer’s disease)
• Accumulation of fluoride in your pineal gland

This last effect is completely in correlation with the research of Dr. Jennifer Luke, which suggests that fluoride impacts your pineal gland’s regulation of melatonin, and this may contribute to the early onset of puberty.

All of These Risks, and it Doesn’t Even Help Your Teeth!

Clearly risks as serious as those above would not justify preventing a few cavities, yet, fluoride does not even do that.

Figures from the World Health Organization show the same declines in tooth decay that have been experienced in fluoridated countries since the 1960s have occurred equally in non-fluoridated countries.

In another study from 2004, pro-fluoridation dental researchers from the University of Aderlaide in South Australia were unable to demonstrate any difference in the permanent teeth between children who had lived all their lives drinking fluoridated water and those who had drunk rain or bottled water.

What does fluoride do to your teeth, then?

Well, it’s known that it interferes with the development of tooth enamel, a condition called “dental fluorosis.” Those in favor of fluoride like to say that fluorosis is a purely “cosmetic condition,” but rarely do symptoms appear for no reason.

In this case, the white spots that form on your teeth after consuming too much fluoride are likely a warning sign that other tissues are being impacted. Studies have shown, for instance, that children with severe dental fluorosis are more likely to have bone fractures.

The Environmental Working Group even reported a finding from a Harvard PhD thesis that showed boys exposed to fluoridated water when they were between the ages of 6 and 8 had a seven-fold increased risk of developing osteosarcoma, a form of frequently fatal bone cancer.

If you’re wondering how to keep your teeth healthy, remember that fluoride was never the answer in the first place. Instead, look to your diet for naturally healthy teeth. In fact, most people whose diet includes very little sugar and few processed foods have very low rates of tooth decay.

As for how to get toxic fluoride out of your drinking water, regular carbon-based filtration will NOT work. About the only way to remove this toxic chemical from your water is to use a reverse osmosis filter.

Other Hidden Sources of Fluoride

If you have any non-stick pans, the moment you start to heat them they will start to volatilize fluoride as that is the polymer that makes them “non-sticky.” The higher the heat, the more fluoride you will have in your home. So do yourself a favor and get rid of all of your non-stick pots and pans.

The Material Safety Data Sheet for Sodium Silicofluoride added to Melbourne’s water supply states under Chronic Effects, “Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause embrittlement and densification of bones, increased calcification of ligaments and vertebrae resulting in spinal stiffness.  Enzyme system effects and pulmonary fibrosis have been reported.”

Premier, this X-ray reveals what your forced fluoridation could do throughout the bodies of Queenslanders.

South East Queenslanders as of today are drinking fluoridated water.

It has been 55 years since the first fluoridated water filled the pipelines in Beaconsfield, Tasmania during 1953, and as of now December 1st, 2008 every capital city in Australia is receiving fluoridated water.

So for those of you who are now receiving medical treatment from the government….How does it taste?

If you haven’t noticed a change in your water yet just give it a few days to move its way to your family’s supply.
