FLUORIDE DEBATE CONTINUES.Written by Alfred Jones
The debate regarding Fluoride continues to rage, is it good for your teeth? or, teeth of our children. There does not appear to be a survey available, without bias, that goes one way or other.We could say that Fluoridisation of water supply is an expensive exercise, because it is only intended for drinking, but is actually being used for washing clothes, cars, used in showers and baths, also for watering gardens and lawns. Obviously a more cost effective option, would be to supply those that want it, with Fluoride Tablets, then we would not all be forced into consuming it daily and it would not be wasted on gardens, etc. The Fluoridisation agent used by most water authorities throughout world is sourced from phosphate fertiliser plants, and is an industrial grade that can contain traces of Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium and other real goodies. also they have never been tested for safety in humans, see http://www.flouridealert.org/phosphate/overview.htm The more expensive pharmaceutical grade of Flouride, sodium salt is seldom used. Most dentists, for some reason are in favour of use of fluoride, but, there is a group in Ireland fighting to have it taken out of water supplies in Ireland, there are over 60 dentists that are members of group called "Irish Dentists Opposing Fluoridation". When you consider all chemicals that authorities already put in water supplies, plus all other chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers, that also run in to supply, do we really need to add more.

We lost a true American hero this past weekend, Christopher Reeve, He was real “Man of Steel”, he had incredible vision, he used his powers to save people and nothing could stop him. But before he became all of that he was known as actor who played “Superman” in movies.He was a great actor and most powerful mouthpiece for spinal cord injuries. He became real “Superman” after his tragic accident in 1995 when he refused to feel pity for himself and made choice to increase public awareness and more action toward spinal cord research. He gave hope to those with disabilities due to spinal cord injuries and his courage was an inspiration to millions worldwide. The true measure of a person comes at their darkest hour, in his darkest hour he shed light on world. There are still many hurdles to overcome in spinal cord research and with path that was paved by Christopher Reeve Foundation and American Paralysis Association, now known as “Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation”, we have hopes that something may be done in future to allow those that are wheelchair bound to stand up and walk again.
