Flying Fluoride-Free
Yesterday I picked up a few packets of Grant's Herbal & Mineral Toothpaste. At only $4.00 a pack, I cleared out the Healthy Life store of their 3 remaining packs. I chose this brand because it is Australian made and owned, with certified organic ingredients and is free from harmful aluminium, fluoride, sugar, sodium lauryl sulphate and contain no parabens. It has a pleasant taste and cleans just as well, if not better, than any of the flouride-containing toothpastes on the market.
Unknown to the greater population, Sodium Fluoride;
- Is a hazardous waste by-product of the nuclear, fertilizer and aluminum industries.
- Was used by the Nazis to render prisoners more docile.
- Is used as the active toxin in rat poison and commercial insecticide (particularly for cockroaches).
- Is one of the primary ingredients found in Prozac, Sarin nerve gas, anaesthetics and in hypnotic, psychiatric and anti-depressant drugs, and to some extent in vaccinations.
- Was banned by China when it was found to slow down children’s learning.
- Shortens the human life span by a premature aging process.
- Has alarmed numerous scientists, dentists and medical professionals after discoveries that it causes osteoporosis, bone cancer, Alzheimer’s and other aluminum based diseases.
- Causes poisoning of the central nervous system especially the hippocampus.
- Causes neuropathology and behavioural deficits as stated by Phyllis Mullenix, PhD international authority on toxicology.
- Causes dental fluorosis, a discoloration of teeth caused by ingestion of excess fluoride during childhood and now reaching near-epidemic proportions in the U.S. and other fluoridated countries.
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classified fluoride as more toxic than lead but less toxic than arsenic.
- The U.S. Akron Regional Poison Centre indicates that a 7-ounce tube of toothpaste contains 199 mg. of fluoride, more than enough to kill a 25-pound child.
This is the stuff they are puting in our water supply.

PETITION : End the War On Drugs!
It takes only a few seconds! Every single signature counts and is hugely appreciated. This petition has grown so rapidly, it's been so exciting to see it grow from around 100,000, to over 300,000 in only a few days! The aim is to get 500,000, we can do it! Share the link everywhere! Facebook, Twitter, share it with friends! Let's all work together for a better future.
'In days, we could finally see the beginning of the end of the ‘war on drugs’. This expensive war has completely failed to curb the plague of drug addiction, while costing countless lives, devastating communities, and funneling trillions of dollars into violent organized crime networks.
Experts all agree that the most sensible policy is to regulate, but politicians are afraid to touch the issue. In days, a global commission including former heads of state and foreign policy chiefs of the UN, EU, US, Brazil, Mexico and more will break the taboo and publicly call for new approaches including decriminalization and regulation of drugs.
This could be a once-in-a-generation tipping-point moment -- if enough of us call for an end to this madness. Politicians say they understand that the war on drugs has failed, but claim the public isn't ready for an alternative. Let's show them we not only accept a sane and humane policy -- we demand it. Sign the petition and share with everyone --if we reach 1 million voices, it will be personally delivered to world leaders by the global commission.
For 50 years current drug policies have failed everyone, everywhere but public debate is stuck in the mud of fear and misinformation. Everyone, even the UN Office on Drugs and Crime which is responsible for enforcing this approach agrees -- deploying militaries and police to burn drug farms, hunting down traffickers, and imprisoning dealers and addicts – is an expensive mistake. And with massive human cost -- from Afghanistan, to Mexico, to the USA the illegal drug trade is destroying countries around the world, while addiction, overdose deaths, and HIV/AIDS infections continue to rise.
Meanwhile, countries with less-harsh enforcement -- like Switzerland, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Australia -- have not seen the explosion in drug use that proponents of the drug war have darkly predicted. Instead, they have seen significant reductions in drug-related crime, addiction and deaths, and are able to focus squarely on dismantling criminal empires.
Powerful lobbies still stand in the way of change, including military, law enforcement, and prison departments whose budgets are at stake. And politicians fear that voters will throw them out of office if they support alternative approaches, as they will appear weak on law and order. But many former drug Ministers and Heads of State have come out in favour of reform since leaving office, and polls show that citizens across the world know the current approach is a catastrophe. Momentum is gathering towards new improved policies, particularly in regions that are ravaged by the drug trade.
If we can create a worldwide outcry in the next few days to support the bold calls of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, we can overpower the stale excuses for the status quo. Our voices hold the key to change -- Sign the petition and spread the word.
We have a chance to enter the closing chapter of this brutal 'war' that has destroyed millions of lives. Global public opinion will determine if this catastrophic policy is stopped or if politicians shy away from reform. Let's rally urgently to push our hesitating leaders from doubt and fear, over the edge, and into reason.'
