Marilyn Vine will be updating this Fluoride 2 page from time to time when information comes to hand. You will hear me sing from the rooftops when this insidious poison is removed from Australian public water supplies! The singing will be even louder when it is totally removed from every country’s water supply!

Federal Minister for Health Tanya Plibersek 12 December 2012
The following document is a concerned citizen writing to the Hon Minister of Health, Tanya Plibersek with regards to her comments on the ABC. It is a well constructed and well thought out response to the Minister’s comments and it will be very interesting to see if she goes on air or publication again making the same comments. Mr Zalec has given her the benefit of the doubt in this letter that she relied solely on information provided to her by other health officials, but now she has been appraised of the true situation, she cannot say she was uninformed! Please take time to read as you too may learn. Plibersek December 2012

Were you aware that this food exposes you to 180 times more fluoride than ingesting water?
On 4 February 2012 Dr Mercola advised in a video link up with Jeff Green that unless we are eating organic foods that we are being exposed to much higher levels of fluoride than ingested by drinking fluoridated water?
Please watch the youtube of the interview and then click on the link below for further information.
F.. and the Brain F and the Brain Nature has found it best to keep F away from the Newborn "These findings show that plasma fluoride is poorly transferred to breast milk and infants thus receive almost no F during breast feeding... The existence of a physiological plasma-milk barrier against F suggests that the newborn is actively protected from this halogen." Ekstrand J, et al. (1981). No evidence of transfer of F from plasma to breast milk. British Medical Journal 283: 761-2.
A cover story published in October 2010 in the American Dental Association Journal confirms an early study done by Levy which found that ”Infant formulas reconstituted with higher F water can provide 100-200 times more F than breast milk or cow’s milk.” Please click on the link and read the information provided.

Rainwater – Who Does it Belong to?
Fluoride 2 page brings you an article on the ownership of rainwater and it just amazed me! The information contained in this news item has already been implemented in parts of the US. I believe that people should be on the alert to watch for signs that other States in the US don’t follow suit. I believe that sometimes they trial something in one area to see how they get away with it and if they are successful then they start implementing elsewhere. Unfortunately, for Australians we tend to follow what the Americans are doing so we too need to be alert. Click on the link Rainwater – who owns it

The Great Fluoridation Scam
Every now and then Marilyn Vine receives more F information. This document is a few years old but it tells quite succinctly the history and I thought it was so well written that I would include it here in this website. The Great Scam
Informative Links
This is additional information to the web page called Fluoride Information. This page will basically be made up of links that you can access for additional information as it comes to hand.
Marilyn Vine is the Officer of Eurobodalla Issues Incorporated based in Batemans Bay NSW Australia.
I, like many other people, feel very strongly that we should not be mandatorily fluoridated. HOWEVER, having said that I am not advocating that anyone NOT USE fluoride. All I am asking for is to be given the choice! If you wish to go down the fluoridation path then there are many options out there in the market place for you, one being fluoridated toothpaste. In fact using fluoridated toothpaste is more beneficial than ingesting fluoridated water simply because topical application supposedly works better.

Problems Caused by NATURAL Fluoridation!
Dr Mercola has released an article dated 20 July 2010 with regard to the problems that people in Indian villages are facing due to the high content of NATURAL fluoridation in their water supply. I understand that China also has a similar problem with the high level of natural fluoridation.
This begs the question:
If naturally occurring fluoridation causes such enormous problems then what is fluoride that is an industrial, toxic chemical waste product and an S6 poison doing to us when added to the public water supply?????
We learn in that in a town in India called Gaudiyan with a population of around 200 people that 135 have bone deformities! This is being caused by the excessive amount of naturally occurring fluoride in their water supplies. It is also reported that in villages in other places of India that the children are being affected. They are being found to have Lamellar Congenital cataract which is causing them to lose their vision due the lense of the eye becoming damaged.
Dr Mercola says in his article:
“This is an important topic for a number of reasons and one of the most important is that it helps dispel the popular public health myth that fluoride in the water supply is normal and actually prevents dental caries.
Nothing could be further from the truth as fluoride is a toxin and a poison even when it occurs naturally in your water supply.”
He goes on to say:
“Amazingly, the United States is only one of eight countries in the entire developed world that fluoridates more than 50 percent of its water supply. (The other seven are: Australia, Colombia, Ireland, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore.) Canada has a little over 40 percent of its population drinking fluoridated water and that percentage is falling as more and more communities are halting the practice.
Most likely, your dentist – along with countless government and public health officials -- has praised and promoted the use of fluoridation, both in toothpaste and drinking water, as one of your must-do regimens to promote strong and healthy teeth.
Unfortunately, they've all bought into the public deception of fluoridation's so-called "safety and effectiveness" and have unwittingly participated in and perpetuated perhaps one of the grandest public health frauds and toxic cover-ups in U.S. history.”
Dr Mercola and Dr Paul Connett have done an interview on fluoridation. Both Dr Mercola’s newsletter, the transcript of the interview and the YouTubes are well worth taking the time to read/listen to and learn. Unfortunately, many people around the world are quite ignorant about the side effects of ingesting this poisonous substance simply because this information is kept concealed from the general public, both by governments and the media!
Information from Fluoride Alert Network on how the Environmental Protection Agency is dragging their feet in relation to setting new standards for safe levels of fluoride in your drinking water. On reading the comments from Paul Connett you will begin to understand his frustration as the level appears to be Zero. Read Fan Bulletin 2018 EPA is Wasting Valuable Time
Robbing your body of magnesium
Fluoride 2 Page brings you information on how “fluoride seeks out minerals such as magnesium and binds with it, making magne¬sium unavailable to the body and unable to do its work. The magnesium-fluoride min¬eral produced is called sellaite; it is almost insoluble and ends up taking the place of magnesium in hard tissues like bone and cartilage, but its brittleness makes the bone susceptible to fracture. The reduction in available magnesium causes a decrease in enzymatic action in the body.”
This lack of magnesium in your body sets you up for many diseases. Click on the Link and read about it. Robbing your body of Magnesium

No Benefit – Definite Harm
This report was submitted to Health Canada 27 November 2009 by Kathleen M Thiessen, Ph.D, SENES Oak Ridge, Inc., Center for Risk Analysis, professional in the field of risk analysis, including exposure assessment, toxicity evaluation, and risk assessment. She has recently served on two subcommittees of the National Research Council’s Committee on Toxicology, including the NRC’s Committee on F in Drinking Water.
Two recent papers, whose authors include members of Health Canada's expert panel, clearly show no dental health benefit from ingested fluoridated water.
Dental exams are error prone, with error rates exceeding 40% for both false positive diagnoses and false negative diagnoses (Fracaro et al 2001). F use leads to 3 additional sources of error:
Delayed Eruption of Teeth/Development of Caries (70+ studies)
Delayed Diagnosis/F Bombs of Caries due to Fluoride's ability to remineralize surface enamel, disguising caries development in dentin and deeper tooth layers (Osmunson 2007).
Misdiagnosis of caries due to demineralization of enamel (fluorosis) which looks similar to cavities (Hirasuna et al 2008)
Evidence also suggests that F temporarily hides cavities by causing only surface remineralization which “covers up” underlying cavities. This may cause a delay in the diagnosis of cavities, leading to larger fillings, hence higher financial costs to the patient and increased fragility of the tooth. Increased fragility of the tooth generally leads to a shortened life span for a tooth. F..... temporarily hides cavities

Leads to Tooth Fractures
Fluoride Leads to Increased Tooth Fractures. Below are statistics on tooth fractures.
Netherlands (not fluoridated) 2% tooth fracture
Portland, Oregon, USA (19% fluoridated) 4.4% tooth fracture
North Caroline, USA (85% fluoridated) 7% tooth fracture
You will notice that North Caroline in the USA where the highest concentration of fluoridation occurs has the highest rate of tooth fracture! Leads to tooth fractures
