The government is planning to fluoridate the entire UK water supply.</p> <p>It is said that fluoride is added to water with hope that it may reduce tooth decay. Fluoride can help in small amounts if we brush it onto our teeth and then swill around and spit out the chemical down the sink. Although the fluoride is actually absorbed under the tongue and gums from the brushing of toothpaste, we are not to swallow fluoride over a certain amount as it is one of the most toxic chemicals to humans and pets. When ingested above the maximum recommended amount, fluoride can cause skeletal/dental fluorosis and has been absolutely proven to calcify the pineal gland which is situated in the skull. </p> <p>Administration of this drug through the water supply is not only without our consent, the dosage from consumer to consumer is very dramatic. Meaning that some people receive less than the government require and in most cases far too much. As we absorb fluoride from showering ,food and even washing up. This is not just about drinking water from the tap in the kitchen. </p> <p>I have posted here today because I need to ask people that may not yet know and the views of Stephen fry fans surly will be intriguing and note worthy.</p> <p>Below is a very informative video and is quite interesting indeed.</p> <p>The youtube video is called &quot;Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation &quot; </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88pfVo3bZLY&amp;feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88pfVo3bZLY&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p> <p>thank you for reading<br /> harpie x </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/a-way-out#post-280539 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:02:03 +0000 doomnoise 280539@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>i&#39;m trapped inside myself. voice&#39;s tell me i&#39;m no good. i can&#39;t leave this space. i just want to find the switch. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/lithium-in-water-curbs-suicide#post-279847 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:41:19 +0000 harpie 279847@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Yes indeed, as with fluoride, we can expect Lithium in our star bucks coffee<br /> ,swimming pool, washing up bowl, bath, shower and of course our food. Your dosage without your consent? It will all depend on your location, where your food is grown and your lifestyle. This is medical ethics gone insane. Even if you can afford a whole house filtration system, you will still be effected by this mass medication and you will not know how much you are consuming.</p> <p>Here we see the BBC prepping the public for UK trials.</p> <p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8025454.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8025454.stm</a></p> <p>Whats next? Adding sun tan cream in our drinking water, so that when we sweat it out our pores we will not need to manually apply, therefore reducing skin cancer? I would not be surprised. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/urgent-do-you-know-that-wolves-in-idaho-are-being-slaughtered-just-now#post-180207 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 09:09:33 +0000 Esther 180207@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Dear Stephen and everyone who is concerned with the Nature and Her protection.<br /> I want to bring to your attention what is happening just know in Idaho and what will start in not even 2 weeks in Montana if we don't do anything. I know that we are here and they are in the States but it is not a reason to be indifferent.<br /> It started on September the 1st in Idaho. The state could host the worst wolf massacre since the 1930s -- with as many as 70 guns trained on each of Idahos estimated 1,000 wolves.<br /> The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has announced that it expects to issue an estimated 70,000 permits to hunt and kill wolves this year. Hundreds of defenseless wolves will be shot, with many surviving wolf pups left to starve to death without their mothers.<br /> Everything seems to be hushed up, there is no publicity, no journalists, no noise or not enough and in such cases the weight of public opinion is the only hope.<br /> There is a petition to the president Obama which I have already signed and passed to some friends, please do the same, it takes just a minute:<br /> <a href="https://secure.defenders.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=1537&amp;JServSessionIdr001=gj2b370ex1.app25a" rel="nofollow">https://secure.defenders.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=1537&amp;JServSessionIdr001=gj2b370ex1.app25a</a></p> <p>The people who signed the petition are not even 150 000 in a country with 250 millions of inhabitants. It is not normal !!! People just don't know.</p> <p>So please make some noise !!!! Similar massacres were avoided in the past because people joined their voices. Defenders of Wildlife and the other ecological groups took a legal action and there is still hope to stop the Idaho killing and to save wolves from Montana.</p> <p>For those who are not afraid of strong images, look on the video showing what happened very recently to the wolves in Alaska:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IJWISoNtjg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IJWISoNtjg</a></p> <p>Would you let them do the same in Idaho and Montana ?</p> <p>Dear Mister Fry, you are a well known public figure, many people listen to your voice. You have American friends. Please help !!!</p> <p>With my warmest wishes and I love your books and your voice &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> Esther </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/community-service-and-the-justice-system#post-276708 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 10:39:46 +0000 Captain_Jonty 276708@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Here is a quite interesting blog that i am following at the moment.

However on my return after speaking to Charlie Moores (<a href="http://www.talking-naturally.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.talking-naturally.co.uk</a>) I was shocked to learn that the Turkish government had sold off all the water ways to private companies. There is currently in excess of 2000 dams currently being built and a further 1700+ Hydro schemes planned. This will have a disastrous effect on the countries biodiversity and the displacement of communities will also impact on the ‘micro-cultures’ that make Turkey such an amazing country.</p> <p>I have taken it upon myself to try and raise as much funds for Doğa Derneği (Birdlife’s partner in Turkey) as I can, hoping that this will go someway to help them in their work to protect the countries biodiversity. The way in which I am hoping to raise funds is as follows:</p> <p> Invite some artists to contribute some artwork depicting some of the iconic birds of Turkey (this original art work will also be autioned off to raise additional funds).<br /> Have a montage of this artwork (totalling a minimum of ten species) tattooed onto my right arm and shoulder. This will be a full sleeve of work!<br /> If I raise over £10,000 I will add £1000 of my own money to the pot and have my left arm and shoulder tattooed with a montage of a further ten species.<br /> All tattoo work will be paid for by me (any discounts given will be forwarded onto the charity)!</p> <p>I know this sounds a bit mad, but I was planning on having this type of body art anyway. However I feel passionate about this cause, so it seems a great opportunity to use this to raise funds. I am hoping that because of the unusual nature of this initiative it will attract some media attention which will hopefully and support for Doğa Derneği and their work.</p> <p>There is more information here:<br /> <a href="http://www.binocularface.co.uk/2011/07/10/the-ten-species-to-feature-in-the-art-work-are/" rel="nofollow">http://www.binocularface.co.uk/2011/07/10/the-ten-.....-work-are/</a><br /> You can donate here: <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/givingmyrightarm" rel="nofollow">http://www.justgiving.com/givingmyrightarm</a><br /> Alternatively you can donate via text message!
