Template Letter to send to your mayor and councillors

Dear Mayor and councillors

I am aware that the Director General of Health (DG) has recently sent a Directive to our council to start fluoridation. This is against the wishes of many people in this community. Please stand up for our community as you have been elected to do.

Fluoride is now well established as a neurotoxic even at the levels present in fluoridated water.
The legislation that enables the DG to direct councils does not require the DG to consider any potential adverse health effects.
Fluoridation chemicals are scrubbed from the chimneys of the phosphate fertilizer industry and contain traces of lead, arsenic, mercury and sometimes even uranium
Most countries in the world, including 97% of Europe, do NOT fluoridate their water supply
In 2018 the New Zealand Supreme Court ruled that “fluoridation is compulsory medical treatment”
The research the DG cites in making his decision does not support his claims:
- The Cochrane Review of 2015 found most studies had been carried out before 1975 and may not be relevant today with the widespread use of fluoridated toothpaste
- The Sapere Report uses data from 2008 is out of date and had too little data to make any firm conclusions
- The New Zealand School Dental Statistics shows there is no discernible difference in decay rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas.

After doing a lot of research due to feeling ill and wanting to live a cleaner lifestyle. I was disgusted to learn fluoride which has been promoted for heathly teeth is a well known toxin. And this toxin is been put in our water.

It doesn’t matter if the dose in our water is low. It is a poison!
No level of poison is safe. So while I can buy a distiller to help minimize the effects of fluoride i’m drinking ( and yes i feel better, since doing this)

We are not just putting this poison in our mouths, and in our childrens mouths. We are drinking it, we are bathing in it, we wash our food in it and we don’t have a choice, this is appauling.

It’s known to damage the thyroid. It’s known to damage bones.
Its known to cause stomach problems. It’s known to increase the risk of cancer.
Floride is a key componant in rat poison and some insecticides.

This needs to stop. If individuals want flouride for their teeth, it can be their choice. But don’t poison the rest of NZ with this toxic chemical.

If trends are anything to go by, you will notice an influx in kiwis looking for more natural products including a fluoride free toothpaste. So why would we want this in our water which we use for so much. Please stop poisoning us.
