The Prime Minister's Federation Message 2001

On the first day of the New Year 2001, the Prime Minister of Australia, Mr John Howard, made the following statement in his Federation address to the Nation.

(1) "Australia is a Country of Equality and justice"

(2) "Australia is a Nation of Freedom and Individual Liberty."

If you know the Prime Minister, please ask him if he considers compulsory mass medication with a poisonous fluoride pollutant qualifies as Individual Liberty. People in Australia have not asked for that compulsory daily drugging with a fluoride pollutant waste by-product from foreign fertilizer factories, indeed the people have protested against fluoridation, but have been ignored by politicians of every persuasion. Why this fluoridation great togetherness and affirmation on a health matter, devoid of even microscopic scientific evidence of safety, and perhaps in another way fluoridation is devoid of even microscopic scientific honesty. There is no justice in compulsory mass medication and Equality is more meaningful for the multi-national combines, so well serviced by Australian Governments, not to be confused in any manner, "for the people".


 

Poll for Wyong Shire

The Wyong Shire Council N.S.W., 12th July, 2000 supported the following motion:

"That in accordance with Section 14 of the Local Government Act, Council conduct a poll of electors in conjunction with the ordinary election of council to be held in September 2003 seeking guidance on whether or not Wyong Shire Council should continue to fluoridate its water supply."

Fluoridation in that area is history. The Australian Fluoridation News 1984 reported the accusation that the State Government was "blackmailing" the Gosford Council over costs to ratepayers if they wanted clean, unfluoridated water in their city. (Gosford's water is partly supplied by Wyong Shire). The State Government Heads informed Gosford Council that the cost for clean water would be in excess of $10,000,000.00. History shows the Department of Public Works presented a new estimate for the same job to cost only $500,000, quite a difference from the original $10,000,000. The N.S.W. Government's quote for a separate pipeline would be charged to the people of Gosford per capita, on rate notices. At the last minute on opening of Council meeting (Central Coast Express, 21st September 1984), a revised quotation arrived! The new quotation was only $500,000. That provoked angry reactions from City Mayor and Councillors. The late quotation of $500,000 brought the following comment from one of the Councillors:

"It appears to me like a form of blackmail, I do not know if this is true or not, but that is the way it looks to Council."

Another Councillor had no qualms at all about describing the incident as a:

"Blatant attempt to blackmail on the part of the Public Works Department."

Another Councillor stated:

"I want to go on record as saying this is yet another example of how State Government Departments hold Local Government and the public in contempt."

Gosford now comes under the jurisdiction of Wyong Shire Council and the people of Gosford must surely be rejoicing in this late improvement in democratic Local Government. The people of Wyong and Gosford will be aware of the kind of opposition to their freedom of choice regarding what they drink, because most definitely they will call for fluoride pollution free water. The fluoride tooth fairy tales will already be in production to assault the population. They will have as much credibility as the 1984 fluoridation fiasco of democratic honesty, but most know fluoridation promotion has no science and little honesty.


DENTAL WEEK AUSTRALIAN STYLE 2000

The Australian Dental Association with the help of the reported: media throughout Australia published their Dental Week scientific message to the population on fluoridation. Several spokespeople from the A.D.A. supplied their Association's scientific evaluation of fluoridation and its effect on children's teeth.

"1. Dental Week 2000 starting next Sunday, August 6, shows the shift is leading to more dental visits and a rise in dental decay!" (Adelaide Sunday Mail, July 2000).

Adelaide was fluoridated in 1971, a 30 year experiment that has failed. Their reason stated is:

"Preference for bottled fluoride free water. The South Australian President of the A.D.A. is reported - 'Dr. Lidums said that even if people do not like the flavour and smell of tap water, they could use it when these characteristics were not obvious, for instance, when making cordial, ice cubes, or mixes, or in soup and other cooking'."

Another message by Dr John Bergman, A.D.A., obviously from the same nerve-centre of the A.D.A., stated:

"Drinkers who didn't like the smell or taste of fluoridated tap water, could disguise it in soups, cordials, or ice cubes." (Daily Telegraph, 7th August, 2000)

After 30 years of fluoridation in Adelaide, the Dental profession is looking for more money to treat children's teeth. It was reported, 6th August, 2000, that the Variety Club, South Australia had given the Adelaide Dental Hospital a grant of $400,000 which will increase capacity by 50%, giving more children access to orthodontic treatment. "We can't meet all the demand."

"The Frome Road site also has benefited from a $750,000 State Government Grant to upgrade the facility."

 Remember what Professor Elsden Storey of Melbourne University reported to the Age, 24th August, 1984. Professor Storey occupied the Chair of Child Dental Health.

"In the old days it was threepence for a tooth fairy. These days it can well be a bill of several thousand dollars for the Orthodontist. The fruits of fluoridation, introduced in Melbourne 7 years ago, have borne a new generation of children with wonderful and expensive teeth which (in the words of Professor Storey) jostle for room in the overcrowded dental arch."

Storey said since fluoridation their research has "shown that 40% of children need orthodontal treatment to correct wayward, malformed, and crowded teeth."

Professor Storey said that the upsurge in dental awareness that accompanied the introduction of fluoridation could produce great anxiety for parents.

"The next thing they find is that they can't afford to have them treated."

These words from the Chair of Child Dental Health, Melbourne University. Dental propagandised science is like the continuous swinging of a pendulum, never stationary in one direction, and suddenly changing to the opposite with nothing in between the ears! Only a few years after the Victorian Government passed the Compulsory Fluoridation Act in which dental decay and dentists would be "history", panic broke out in Government. Something of reality appeared. On 29th August, 1978 (Fluoridation Act was passed 1973) the Age reported:

"The Premier Mr Hamer announced an investigation into School Tuck Shop diets."

"He said the Health Department would investigate dental side effects of Tuck Shop diets ..."

So fluoridation was not the answer to dental health, it was diet! Tuck shops must change children's food to protect scientific and political hoax of fluoridation. Health science coming up in the new century 2000 is now declared by the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code that:

"Solid evidence will be required before such goods can be advertised."

"Under the code all advertising claims, including comparisons to other prescriptions and nonprescription products, must be accompanied by evidence."

They do not qualify just what evidence is required. If properly and legally implemented it would be interesting to question so many drugs now sold and prescribed, and why numbers of these were removed from public sales and use, even though they had passed all Government evidence of safety in the past.

Will drug companies and fluoride promoters be exempt, and this law only relate to vitamins and cheap natural remedies? Advertisements permeate the airways on fluoride toothpaste, even though there are health warnings about its use, especially for children (N.H. and M.R.C.). A heading in one Australian paper stated:

"Fluoride can harm children's teeth."

That message, 2000, was from the Australian Dental Association. They stated:

"Ingesting too much fluoride from toothpaste can result in dental fluorosis, mottled teeth."

The National Health and Medical Research Council in their publication "The Effectiveness of Water Fluoridation", 1991, page 129, stated:

"A great prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis is not only the first sign of toxicity but has the advantage of being readily diagnosed."

The A.D.A. President is reported:

"Toothpaste should not be used at all in children under 2." (Adelaide 7th January, 2000)

Will the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code address fluoride toothpaste advertisements? That Government Agency would not agree to follow overseas countries that forced warning notices on fluoride toothpaste containers as serious information for the public, and its use.

Dental fluorosis is caused by fluoride. It is the body's window to the first sign of fluoride poisoning. Dental fluorosis is in epidemic proportions within Australia and indeed throughout fluoridated cities worldwide. Logic demonstrates this means millions of children are being daily poisoned with fluoride chemicals, some by choice, others by Government dictatorship. Medical logic is the missing link in true fluoride science. There is no research by Governments (the group that represent you and responsible to preserve your health and that of your family) into what other body cells are damaged by fluoride in children who have discoloured enamel caused by dental cells killed by fluoride chemicals. Fluoride, the propagandised ultimate in tooth decay, is now running a bad last in today's media. Almost every day a new discovery is published denoting a benefit to stop tooth decay, which we are told by dental scientists and our Governments, that dental decay does not exist. 

The Herald-Sun 18th August, 2000 reports on "Research by New York State University" and printed in American Journal of Periodontology found that men and women whose intake of calcium was less than 500 mg a day were almost twice as likely as those who ate more calcium to have gum disease and tooth decay. A major study involving nearly 13,000 people has confirmed the theory that regular helpings of milk, cheese and yoghurt can ward off decay. The Herald-Sun followed that with "sweeter teeth" on 25th August, 2000.

"Eating chocolate can help fight tooth decay. Japanese experts revealed in 'New Scientist' magazine that they hope to create a toothpaste or mouthwash based on chocolate extracts."

But there is more! The Age, 8th August, 2000 reported:

"Say cheese may save your teeth. Eating pizza may reduce visits to the dentist, but a cube of cheddar could do better, research shows. Australian Dental Association said evidence was mounting on the benefits of cheese to tooth enamel. Dr Zoldan, Chairman of the A.D.A. Dental Health Education Research Committee said cheese counteracted the destructive effects of plaque"

What about the absolute guarantee that fluoridated drinking water supplies stops tooth decay? Remember the promise by your Government, your political representative, backed by the A.D.A., A.M.A., universities, dental schools and the overall controller, the fluoride lobby? Fluoridation is safe and effective. There will be no more dental decay and very few dentists, people will have decay free teeth all their lives. Dental scientists and indeed just ordinary dentists, seem to graduate from kindergarten to university and then revert to kindergarten logic.

 Fluoridation herd treatment of humans seems the paramount policy of your caring Government. The mass media in concert with the all incorporating international fluoride lobby has developed the concensus on fluoride chemicals, but true science remains cast in stone, mirroring the future collapse of the great commercial fluoridation scientific hoax. Fluoridation is politically and financially powerful, but scientifically weak.

OBITUARY

JOHN YIAMOUYIANNIS

John Y, as he was known to so many throughout the world, passed away at his home in Ohio, 8th October, 2000. John was a world-class Biochemist with a record of progressive intelligence relating especially to fluoridation, a record difficult to replace, but his scientific work will be well established in present day history. The fluoridation crusade John followed, captured countless friends world-wide, so many admirers, but unfortunately his superior knowledge also established a distinct government opposition where the lowest form of scientific behaviour was employed to counter him. The pressures under which John worked on fluoridation were enormous. Most of it was of a personal nature, because the fluoride disciples could never match John's ability to debate and present matters of true science compared with the ragtime unscientific opposition from other countries of the world. John visited Australia in 1977 at our request. The main sponsor, Mr Don Heggie of Port Kembla, was concerned about a referendum on fluoridation to be held in his area. John did not take home a very good impression of Australian politicians, doctors, dentists and bureaucrats in general. During his 1977 visit we proposed to those fluoride people to grasp this important opportunity to publicly debate fluoridation with John Y, and discredit both him and our Australian Association supporters and our scientific evidence. The Government hid behind "press releases", but John gave lectures on fluoridation, especially relating to his research with Dean Burk and their Attorney, John Graham. The "unofficial debates" were in Nowra, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, where the Government's kindergarten scientific knowledge of fluoridation was exposed. There was a referenda for fluoridation at Nowra, and the Government sent their "top guns" not to debate the subject with John, but to con the public into believing all their fluoridation propaganda. In the Nowra Town Hall we forced a "debate". The "expert" from the Government was Dr William McBride, enough said. We then went to Canberra for a hurried "debate". A professor was John's opponent. The professor opened his address by saying, "I don't know much about fluoridation," and that proved he was telling the truth. Same day John lectured in Sydney, where we had an agreement with the A.D.A. that their President would debate, but at the very last moment, at the start of the meeting, the A.D.A. President refused to come on stage. It was my problem as Chairman of that meeting to (1) quieten the audience who were getting dangerously restless at the delay, and (2) get a speaker on behalf of the A.D.A. fluoridation experts present. Finally, Professor N. Martin agreed to debate. I remember speaking to both men and setting the rules for the debate. Only one followed the arrangement, because they had no evidence to counter John's fluoridation ? cancer studies. The same followed in Melbourne, where abuse was the main purpose of the fluoridation supporters who came to the meeting. The kind of abuse by fluoridationists before the lecture caused me to request the presence of police, and just as well. Close to a fight broke out between a dental idiot and one of those who came to hear John Y. The police officer told me he was watching carefully and about to pounce on the dental agitator. How they treasure and guard their fluoride hoax. John Yiamouyiannis is a hero in Australia, a very respected scientist, a man who could not be bent, not uncommon in the fluoridation racket world-wide. At my request he submitted to the Federal Government's N.H. and M.R.C. Fluoride Investigation 1993, a 200 page Submission which was completely ignored. John left a legacy in this country that has stood the test of time through true science. Fortunately, John published his book, "Fluoridation the Ageing Factor" in 1993, but his scientific monument will be forever cast in the legal history of fluoridation, where other scientists and politicians were bought for "30 pieces of silver". Our sympathy and respect to John's family, who will understand his historic success against overwhelming odds.
