As part of the launch of Fluoride Awareness Week the Mercola team also
helped FAN completely redesign our
website. Once completed, the new website should make it easier to
navigate through the large amount of information, research, and news on the
effects of fluoride that FAN has created and collected over the past decade.
The new site also has updated and improved "Take Action" pages, including an
infant warning campaign page, and a "How
to Start a Local Campaign" guide.
While most of the new site is complete, we are still working on transferring
information from the old site, and fixing missing links and bugs as we find
them. We ask for your patience as we make these improvements, and urge you
to check back regularly as the site expands and improves.
Another Victory!
We are happy to report that another community has rejected water
fluoridation this week. On Monday, the Philomath City Council made it clear
that they would stand by their May decision to ban fluoride from the city's
water supply. The council
voted 6-1 in favor of banning fluoridation after hearing public
testimony over two separate meetings, and after hearing an hour of testimony
from the Mayor in opposition to fluoridation.
Concerned for the safety of its citizens, the Philomath City Council had
voted unanimously to end fluoridation on May 9th after the CDC's
acknowledgement of the dental fluorosis epidemic, and the Department of
Health and Human Services' proposed lowering of the recommended fluoride
level. However, the vote was met with a
public outcry from the medical and dental community, and the council
voted to hold public hearings on the issue. These public hearings led to the
council's final vote against fluoridation, and against the dental
community's efforts to force fluoride on the citizens of Philomath, Oregon.

for
water festival & conference - we need your help
Dear Friends, This is too important for me not to send out one last time and
my apologies if I am annoying anyone, but it is sent in the hope that others
will be able to contribute to this most worthy cause - a huge thank you to
all who have contributed thus far and if anyone else can contribute, any
donations gratefully and graciously accepted to help this fight, which is a
fight for recognition, fight for our freedom, fight for unpolluted water (^
as a consequence all our foods et al are polluted with these silicofluorides/fluorosilicic
acid ), fight for our freedom of choice & our freedom of what we consume and
fight for what's simply just right, again, any further donations to help a
huge thank you. Please forward on to others who may be in a position to
assist if you can. Thank you so much, Diane Drayton Buckland

Subject: A bird in the hand opportunity - final funding call for water
festival & conference - we need your help
Dear All,
The letter below (also attached as a PDF) is a general letter that we are
sending to a number of key people in a 'last ditch' effort for funding.
Please note that we am not asking you personally for a donation, since you
MAY have already donated; but rather, your extended networks (email lists,
etc) who still may be able to assist. Of course, if you are able and
willing, you can also donate personally - we would be most grateful - but we
would prefer those who have NOT yet supported us to do so.
Now is the time to donate and assist us, or it will soon be too late. We
have a 'bird in the hand' opportunity - not a 'maybe' opportunity ie.
huge exposure for our film in India. Our 'labour of love, made on 'the smell
of an oily rag' film is worth 'gold' in education and awareness raising -
unlike EXPENSIVE legal cases that don't get us anywhere! We would think
people would be both proud and active in promoting our film in not one, but
TWO international film festivals! It just doesn't make sense, that
people have been so silent; and we have been so ignored.
So, if you chose to forward this urgent notice on, please be sure to draw
attention to the fact that 'time is running out'. Thank you.
Jaya and Daniel.
-----------------
Monday 8th August, 2011
Dear All,
This letter took much musing and courage to write, to ask your assistance
(through your networks). We ask for this help under duress; and only because
time is rapidly running out.
Daniel and myself, as you would know, have been officially invited to
attend,
Voices from the Waters 2011,
6th International Film Festival on Water � the largest International film
festival on water.
http://www.firewaterfilm.com/filmfestivals.htm AND,
http://www.firewaterfilm.com/apps/donations/
Our writing to you is to ask for assistance (via your networks) ie. to ask
your people to pass the proverbial �hat around� through their (personal or,
anti-fluoride/safe-water) networks and see what can be drummed up by way of
donations on our behalf..
At the time of writing, we have just two weeks remaining to secure the
remainder of the funding target. We are still approximately $1,000 short.
$800 to cover the remainder of the BASIC funding needed for our trip, BUT,
we have to add on the monthly phone, Internet costs, and some petrol between
now and departure [that amounts to $200]. This amount will cover our BASE
costs for the India trip. No more. Given that we have worked on this project
for nine months with no personal payment, it would be wonderful to see this
last hurdle fulfilled with no more stress to ourselves; and to maximize this
opportunity on behalf of everyone. On return, to maintain the websites,
there are annual costs involved that amount to many hundreds of dollars
(web-hosting fees, and monthly internet - all of which come out of Jaya's
personal pocket right now).
We will be leaving on the 23rd August, returning the 8th September. Our
schedule will be a busy one, promoting the film in the festival, attending
the water conference, which we would love to film (if we have enough
donations, we might be able to swing hiring a two-man crew for two days to
film aspects of the festival and conference).
As a vital community-funded project, we have been working on FireWater
7-days per week, without respite, for nine months, unpaid. Now, we simply
have NO 'stretch' left in our personal, or, the FireWater donated, budgets.
Both Daniel and myself have been working very hard on so many levels to
raise funding for both the film�s initial production; and now, to attend the
film festival; along with many Victorian and Queensland fighters, who have
already given personal donations; along with others around Australia and
overseas nations. Click HERE for current Running Tally of donors.
We have put in very long days over the past two months, emailing to seek
donors and sponsors. Unfortunately, Australia as a whole is apathetic to say
the least about the state of affairs surrounding fluoridation. We have
(gratefully) had 31 donations from around 2,000 (professionals and community
members) people we have directly emailed; this is a very poor response for
an opportunity that was hard won; and for an event that will do much good in
raising International awareness of Australia�s plight.
Daniel will be formally addressing over 1,000 invited delegates at the Water
conference on the Monday after the festival - this is a great 'coup' really,
for all our efforts. Jaya will also make a presentation.
We have exceeded 74,000 total upload views on the Official FireWater YouTube
channel, along with a couple of thousand third party views. These are
excellent results within a relatively short time frame. As a point of
interest in how the Internet can affect people in all parts of the world, we
have recently been contacted by an Australian man, now living in the
Himalayan mountains (Nepal), who watched our film. His words of support
were:
"I checked out the firewater link (
www.firewaterfilm.com ). Thank god someone has made the effort to make
an in depth movie about this hideous mass crime. This is an extension of the
Nazi crimes against humanity but on a mass scale - beyond normal human
comprehension... now in this day and age when there is mass poisoning of
water supplies and depleted uranium dust floating around the world, there
are millions of innocent victims - especially the young who have no way of
extricating themselves from poisoned environments - or their mothers
avoiding DU bombs dropping near them, whilst they are in the womb."
Furthermore, according to a recent DVD review:
"The film [Fire Water] shines in bringing together some of the many voices
from around Australia - a cross section of researchers, politicians,
activists, sufferers and health professionals. The interviews are GOLD... a
springboard to the next level of raising fluoridation awareness." � The
Australian Fluoridation News, Vol. 47, No. 1, 2011.
As the Producer of Fire Water, the first Fluoride film that has reached an
International film festival anywhere in the world (as far as I know), Jaya
asks for your personal assistance to do what you can over the next ten
days/week, through your networks. Both Daniel and Jaya will be ever so
grateful.
Please send donations to EITHER:
Rosemarie Zalec (our Executive Producer) - she will place all
cheques/donations into the film account.
Make cheques out to: Rosemarie Zalec
Send to: Rosemarie Zalec (Executive Producer of FIRE WATER)
PO Box 859
Mildura, VIC 3502
If you need a receipt, please ask for one and include your return postal
address.
Or, people can deposit directly to my account (Producer of FireWater):
http://www.jayacheladrolma.net/#!pay
Fire Water was created by donations; and our trip to India to represent
the film has also been funded by donations. As already mentioned, we are
short by $1000 for the two week trip - insurance, food and accommodation
(and existing internet costs) must be factored into this balance; we
have all travel costs/flights; plus covered, but little else.
Please note that the ONLY reason we have been able to afford to book the
flights, was due to a friend - a fellow film maker - who works within the
airline industry, who generously assisted us with his staff travel discount,
saving us 50% of costs. Otherwise, we would not have been able to afford the
costs of such a trip.
Our children and grandchildren deserve better than a Schedule 7 poison,
forced into their growing bodies and brains by our government. The chemicals
that pass for �fluoride� have NEVER been approved by the TGA for human
consumption in Australia (there simply has been NO testing done, ever).
In India, the country where our festival/conference is to be held, their top
fluoride researcher (Dr A.K. Susheela) states the following:
�From my extensive experience, I state without hesitation and with a high
degree of scientific certainty, the following evaluation of fluoridation.
Fluoride destroys muscle structure, muscle function and depletes muscle
energy. Fluoride destroys the bone. Fluoride destroys the teeth. Fluoride
destroys the RBCs. Fluoride destroys the Blood Vessels. Fluoride destroys
the lining of the stomach and intestine causing GI problems. Evidence that
is forthcoming also strongly suggests that in some individuals it causes
infertility.�
http://www.fluoridealert.org/susheela.htm
Daniel and myself will stand proudly on the podium, representing all who
have already contributed towards our film - but, we need further donations
if we are to simply, be insured in India, sleep somewhere clean, and, eat!
Let us know if you are able to assist - we await your response.
Sincerely,
Jaya and Daniel

6) "Sad Day' For Whistleblowers" - Shiv Chopra
Dear Shiv,
I am so sorry to hear that the Canadian government did not do the right
thing and reinstate you. It IS a sad day for whistleblowers like you and
your colleagues, who have suffered so much because you told the truth and
tried to stop harm from being done and, then, when you could not stop it,
tried to warn the people that their lives are being endangered. You have
done the right thing and many, many people around the world, who have heard
your warning, are grateful to you for the example you have set and the
sacrifice you made.

7) FDA Schemes to Destroy Vitamins

NEWS RELEASE
THE FDA's SCHEME TO RECLASSIFY NUTRIENTS AS DRUGS
By Byron J. Richards, CCN
August 6, 2011
The FDA and Senator Durbin�s latest attack against the dietary
supplement industry should leave consumers for natural health options at
affordable prices up in arms. This attack will target some of the most
popular and effective dietary supplements, removing them from the free
market and placing them under control of large pharmaceutical companies.
This move will drastically drive up the price of dietary supplements while
severely limiting access to extremely safe and effective nutrients. For
example, the GlaxoSmithKline prescription drug version of DHA fish oil (at a
therapeutic dose) sells for $189 a month, whereas the equivalent,
therapeutic amount of molecularly-distilled DHA sells for $35 a month in the
dietary supplement marketplace. Proven to lower triglyceride levels at
therapeutic amounts, it is not surprising that DHA is one of the first
nutrients the FDA plans to go after. Other powerful nutrients, such a! s
curcumin and resveratrol, are soon to follow.
This is the second article in what will be a series of articles on this
critical topic. In my first article, �Senator
Durbin & the FDA Viciously Attack Dietary Supplements,� I outlined the
scope and nature of the attack and called readers to take action. And it is
still critically important that you do take action, so please visit the
TAKE ACTION page
immediately following reading this article.
