Amendment of submission to Greater Wellington Regional Council on the 10 Year Plan 2015-2025

I refer to the submission below and wish to correct an error.

The calculation of 39 tonnes of SSF powder should read 64 tonnes.

Submission to Greater Wellington Regional Council on the 10 Year Plan 2015-2025

-------------------------------------------------

While the Council was not expressly addressing the issue of fluoridation, New Health has made a submission asking for it to revisit its policy.

A link to the consultation document is attached.  Consultation closed at 4 pm on 20 April 2015

http://www.gw.govt.nz/10-year-plan-2015-2025/

attached PDF with submission
Open letter from New Health NZ Inc to Sir Peter Gluckman and Sir David Skegg.pdf

-------------------------------------------------

This submission is made on behalf of New Health New Zealand Inc. 

New Health requests the Council to revisit its fluoridation policy and practice.

It is New Health’s submission that fluoridation:

1. Is unnecessary and anachronistic;
2. Constitutes mass medication without consent;
3. Provides little or any benefit – at best half a filling saved by age 12 or 13;
4. Poses real risks of harm to health;
5. Uses the water supply to dispose of a highly toxic industrial waste product where the relative environmental impacts of disposing of such a substance are unknown.

One of the key issues identified in the consultation document “Shape Your Region”, is a “Healthy Environment”.  There is a reference to “proactive steps to reduce long-term risks”, and “best practice science information to assist decision-making”.

Applying these tenets to fluoridation, New Health makes two points.

First, for the reasons set out in the attached letter to Sir Peter Gluckman and Sir David Skegg, applying the precautionary principle to fluoridation would justify its immediate cessation.

Secondly, the environmental impacts of disposing of HFA and SSF through the water supply is unknown. Again a precautionary approach would require this unnecessary practice to stop.

The volume of fluoride disposed of through the water supply each year is enormous. 

According to the WRC’s Water Supply Annual Report for the year ended 20 June 2014, there is approximately 140 million litres of water supplied per day and 51.1 billion litres per year.  On the basis of fluoridation at 0.75 mg/l this amounts to 38.325 billion mg of fluoride per year.  On New Health’s calculations that would amount to approximately 39 tonnes of SSF powder.

As the WRC is aware most fluoridated water is not drunk but is used for other domestic purposes in kitchens and bathrooms, and for watering gardens, washing cars etc.  Most will end up in the environment on the land or in the water.

It is telling that the relative environmental impacts of the discharge of this amount of fluoride into the environment is unknown: refer p 17 of the Water Supply Annual Report.

If an SSF producer wanted to discharge 39 tonnes of SSF into the environment, it would need a number of different consents.  Why is this substance able to be disposed of through the water supply with no consideration given to the adverse environmental effects of such disposal and with no resource management oversight?

New Health wishes to be heard in support of its submission.

New Health is concerned that the recent Gluckman/Skegg report has attempted to dismiss and even trivialise a potential 7 point shift in IQ as a result of increased fluoride ingestion. It has written to Sir Peter Gluckman asking for an explanation. It has also sent the letter to all Councils and DHBs. New Health has asked health officials to start ask themselves the following question: Can the purported benefits of fluoridation – a possible saving of half a filling by age 12 to 13 – outweigh the possible risks of a reduction in IQ.

Anti-fluoride bid fails

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/10599033/Anti-fluoride-bid-fails
A High Court Judge has thrown out an application by opponents of fluoride trying to force the Ministry of Health to treat it as a medicine and regulate the amount added to tap water.
Anti-fluoride group New Health New Zealand had claimed it was absurd that fluoride tablets were deemed a medicine under the act but fluoride added to tap water was not.
However, Justice David Collins ruled when Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFA) and Sodium Silico Fluoride (SSF) were added to domestic water supplies in New Zealand to produce fluoride concentrations within the current allowable level of 1.5 milligrams per litre they were not medicines within the meaning of the Act.

Fluoride opponents continue the fight

Dominion Post

Opponents of fluoride are trying to force the Ministry of Health to treat it as a medicine and regulate the amount added to tap water, the High Court at Wellington has been told.

But even should they succeed, the ministry plans to exempt immediately fluoride added to public water supplies from the Medicines Act.

Lisa Hansen, for anti-fluoride group New Health New Zealand, told the court yesterday it was absurd that fluoride tablets were deemed a medicine under the act but fluoride added to tap water was not.

Natural News exclusive: Fluoride used in U.S. water supplies found contaminated with lead, tungsten, strontium, aluminum and uranium

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) The sodium fluoride added to U.S. water supplies is contaminated with the toxic elements lead, tungsten and aluminum, a Natural News Forensic Food Labs investigation has revealed. Strontium and uranium were also found in substantial quantities in some samples, raising additional questions about the purity of industrial fluoride used for water fluoridation.

These ICP-MS results, shown below, were determined with the very same ICP-MS laboratory instrumentation used by the FDA and various universities. Mike Adams, director of the lab and one of the world's leading researchers into heavy metals contamination of foods, conducted the research.

Fight to remove fluoride taken to Court of Appeal

A group fighting the fluoridation of New Zealand water supplies is taking its battle to the Court of Appeal.
New Health NZ Inc today filed a notice of appeal against a recent High Court decision upholding the lawfulness of water fluoridation by councils.

Fluoride combined with even trace amounts of aluminum in water can cause major brain damage

Media statement on behalf of David Sloan,
Chairman of New Health New Zealand Inc. 

New Health has read the decision and respectfully disagrees with the judge’s interpretation of the Local Government Act, Health Act and NZ Bill of Rights Act.  In particular it disagrees with the judge’s view that fluoridation is not medical treatment for the purposes of s 11 of the Bill of Rights.

It will appeal the decision.

There is a persuasive and respectable body of scientific and medical evidence that water fluoridation is of doubtful benefit and there are risks of harm.

In today’s consumer-enlightened era, people should have the choice whether or not to ingest something that has a claimed therapeutic purpose.

No other public health measure removes a person’s choice in the same way as fluoridation. 

Comparing water fluoridation with water chlorination and iodised salt is simply wrong.  Iodine is an essential nutrient but fluoride is not.  Further people have a choice whether to buy iodised or non-iodised salt.

Water chlorination treats the water by eliminating bacteria, whereas fluoride claims to treat dental decay.  These purposes are quite different.

New Health is concerned at some of the implications of the decision.  For example on its face it permits councils to put medicines such as the claimed mood-enhancer lithium in the water supply.  Additionally the water supply potentially could be a delivery system for vaccines. 

Delivering medication this way is contrary to medical ethics as its fails to control for dose, individual need and sensitivities, and overrides individual consent. 

Kind regards

New Plymouth High Court challenge to the South Taranaki District Council

Earlier this year New Health New Zealand Inc filed a judicial review proceeding in the New Plymouth High Court challenging a decision of the South Taranaki District Council to add fluoride to its Patea and Waverley water supplies. 

It is only the second time in New Zealand’s history that the lawfulness of fluoridation has been raised in the courts.  The first time was in 1963 when some Lower Hutt ratepayers sought an injunction to prevent fluoridation.  That case went all the way to the Privy Council.  The outcome was that the Privy Council held that s 240 of the Municipal Corporations Act 1954 implicitly authorised fluoridation. 

Section 240 has long been repealed and New Health considered that it was important to test the issue of the lawfulness of fluoridation again.  This is effectively a test case.

The case was heard on 25 and 26 November 2013. 

Key arguments advanced by New Health included: that fluoridation is a breach of s 11 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA), that such a breach has firstly, not been prescribed by law, and secondly, is an unjustified and disproportionate limitation on the right contained in s 11. 

Under s 11 a person has a right to refuse to undergo medical treatment.  New Health argued that fluoridation constitutes “medical treatment” in that it is the administration of a pharmacologically active substance for a therapeutic purpose, ie to prevent dental caries.  New Health said that realistically most people have no ability to opt out of fluoridation.  New Health also argued that there is nothing in the Local Government Act 2002 or the Health Act 1956 or any other Act that specifically authorises fluoridation, and moreover that fluoridation is a disproportionate limit on the right to refuse to undergo medical treatment.  In respect of proportionality New Health argued that the benefits did not outweigh the detriments.  In particular New Health pointed to the uncertainty around the scientific evidence of efficacy and adverse effects.  Additionally, it emphasised that as the mechanism of action of fluoride is topical, there is no need to swallow fluoride and that excessive ingestion of fluoride can (at the very least) cause dental fluorosis.

The Attorney-General intervened in the proceeding and argued that fluoridation was not a medical treatment (in particular because it was not administered by a doctor) and/or that there was a right to refuse to drink fluoridated water.

The South Taranaki District Council defended its decision and said it was lawful.

A decision is expected in the New Year.

Dentists have Controlled CDC's Water Fluoridation Stance for over 35 Years.

These Documents Virtually Force You to Destroy Your Health
July 23 2011

Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act show that since the 1970's, the dental health professionals in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have completely controlled the agency's stance supporting water fluoridation. No CDC toxicologists, minority health professionals, experts in diabetes, or others outside the Oral Health Division had any input into the agency's position.
The documents have drawn attention once again to the CDC's and EPA's fluoride safety statements, which appear at odds with current scientific knowledge.
According to the Fluoride Action Network:
"Law firms are now reviewing old and new documents believed to highlight a pattern of attempts to curtail discussions on fluoride toxicity and downplay the importance of professionals personally reviewing scientific reports about fluorides."

Fluoridosis

Dangers of Fluoride Pt.1

Lynne McTaggart laid out the dangers of fluoride use which have been generally ignored by health professionals and communities at large. "It's a rat poison," McTaggart said of fluoride which is added to the water supply of two thirds of America's cities. It's also in toothpaste, and in many other products one wouldn't suspect, such as canned beverages, baby food, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides, she said.

McTaggart said numerous studies show that fluoride does not prevent tooth decay, and in some cases actually contributes to poor dental health. Additionally, some studies have shown that children in communities that have higher levels of fluoride in their water have up to 10% lower IQs, than in locations with lower levels of the chemical. This kind of "mass medication" doesn't take into account "bio-individuality," and is particularly harsh on children, she indicated.

By banding with other anti-fluoride groups, of which there is a growing number, people can make their voices heard to oppose local fluoridation efforts, McTaggart suggested. On an individual level, she advised using a "reverse osmosis" filtration system on your water faucet, as well as choosing toothpastes that don't contain fluoride.

Lynne McTaggart, an investigative journalist, and editor of the newsletter "What Doctors Don't Tell You," began work on "The Field" four years ago as a personal quest. Her research took her to many areas around the globe, meeting with top frontier scientists in Russia, Germany, France, England, South American, Central America and the USA. During these meetings, she saw what these scientists were working on and it seemed to overthrow the current laws of biology, chemistry and physics. Their theories and experiments also compounded into a new science, a new view of the world.

For several years she immersed herself in quantum physics and pored through hundreds of scientific papers to decoding what was often impenetrable work. In many cases she had to pester the scientists to explain aspects of physics in order to check facts and interpretations. Lynne concludes that her work paints a picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory which makes sense of 'supernatural 'phenomena.

Poisoned Babies

Metropolitan Water District public hearing where Dr Kathleen Thiessen & Dr David Kennedy DDS explain how many people will be injured by their decision to add hydrofluorosilicic acid to the drinking water of 18 million people in Southern California.

They aren't adding fluoride to the water. They use hydrofluosilicic acid. This is raw untreated hazardous waste from the phosphate fertilizer mining industry pollution scrubber system that is highly contaminated with arsenic, lead and a whole host of other heavy metals. It causes disproportionate harm to the malnourished, iodine deficient and minorities. Black children exposed to hydrofluosilicic acid in drinking water had a 600% increase in blood lead levels and Hispanic had a 400% increase.

Overdosing the Babies With Water Fluoridation

On August 20, 2007, the Water Quality and Operations Committee of the Metropolitan Water District of Los Angeles held a public commentary meeting.  They had decided back in 2003 to fluoridate the water for the 18 million people in their supply area, but had yet to implement that decision.  One of the people who commented was Kathleen A Thiessen, PhD, of the SENES Oak Ridge, Inc., Center for Risk Analysis.  In her five minute presentation, she cogently and succinctly showed how water consumption varies tremendously, making it impossible to control the delivered dose of fluoride in the population.  Fluoridation unavoidably produces overdoses of fluoride, especially among infants.

Growing Unease

The Professor speaking is Prof. Howard Pollock of the American Dental Association (ADA) who is also Clinical Director of Dental Services at University of California. 

He advises that fluoridated water should NOT be used for making up infant formula. Instead he states that the ADA is advising that mothers should avoid tap water and, instead, buy bottled (unfluoridated) water from the super-market for this purpose. He also states that the fluoride ingested by many children will exceed the tolerable intake.

On the same sound bite Dr Martin Lee claims that the ADA warning does not apply to NZ because in NZ water is only fluoridated at up to 1 ppm. But Prof. Howard Pollock contradicts Martin Lee by stating that using fluoridated water for baby formula is of real concern for water fluoridated at the standard level of 1 ppm in NZ.in most US cities and also in NZ. 

He says that infant formula reconstituted using fluoridated water can cause dental fluorosis in children’s teeth even prior to tooth eruption. He states that some children (on fluoridated water supplies) will be ingesting too much fluoride.

Lawrie Brett (Whangerei dentist) and Jackie Pou (Northland anti-F campaigner) also feature very well on this sound bite.
