Recently, I've written several articles about toxic fluorides. The
case is clear: cancer, lower IQ, other varieties of severe damage.
I became aware of a group in New Zealand, Fluoride Free NZ. They've had
remarkable success working with local communities to ban fluorides in
water supplies.
But now, in response, the New Zealand government has decided to make
fluoridation a federal issue and take choice out of the hands of
locals. Predictable. Tyrannical. The usual.
"We'll fluoridate everybody, and there's nothing you can do about it. We rule, you obey."
So I suggested people should write to the tourism authority in New
Zealand. You know---"Hi, guess what? My money isn't coming to your
country. More fluorides? I'm not traveling to your paradise."
This is the best contact address I've been able to come up with so far:
Associate Minister of Tourism
Paula Bennett
p (dot) bennett (at) ministers (dot) govt (dot) nz
Jump in. Go for it. Send a message.
A reader emailed me the letter he just wrote:
Dear Tourism New Zealand executive staff,
My name is Michael Blanshan. I am a naturopathic doctor in New
Mexico, U.S.A. Years ago a group of friends and I were discussing New
Zealand and all it has to offer as a country. Many of our group
travelled to New Zealand and two families moved there, one to Nelso and
one to Christchurch. These were good families with children and much to
offer their local communities, not retirees looking for a country in
which to retire.
In my own travels I often run into New Zealanders (aka kiwis). They
are generally great travelers, good people, kind, open-minded,
intelligent, and generally fun. The very spirit of New Zealand which
most kiwis embody seems to me to serve as New Zealand's best
advertising.
Being a naturopath, I am keenly aware of the history of the
fluoridation of drinking water, those who promoted this policy, their
motivations for doing so, and the forms of pressure they use to continue
the policy despite compelling scientific opposition. A local
organization in New Zealand calling itself Fluoride Free NZ has worked
tirelessly with communities to educate them on this issue. They worked
diligently and the majority of those communities have chosen not to
fluoridate their local water supplies. In response to this group's
effectiveness, the NZ federal government is now acting to take the
decision making authority away from local councils and communities and
put the power into the hands of District Health Boards (DHB), who are
under the direct control of Central Government.
This action has profound implications, though it may seem
inconsequential to you, especially considering that you are a department
for tourism. Though I stated that the people of New Zealand are its
best feature, this is a black mark on New Zealand as a country. It
points to a corruption of your federal government and its purported
goals of serving its people. To the contrary, the government is showing
that it has a will of its own and that it acts in the interests of other
parties.
The policy of fluoridation originated in the U.S.A. in the 1940s.
Many European countries have rejected this policy, knowing it was not
about health but rather that it was the result of corrupt influences.
For the New Zealand government to force this policy shows that they're
not interested in science or the natural rights of the people and worse,
that the New Zealand government is caving to pressure from either
American or UK interests.
Please understand that the irony of an American writing about
corruption in government does not escape me. Educated Americans know all
too well the workings and techniques of a dictatorship which presents
itself as a democracy. It is as a result of the extreme corruption of
the leadership of Western countries that we look to New Zealand and
still see it to be a land of free individuals who can run their local
communities as they like.
If the New Zealand federal government goes ahead with this decision,
I personally will not visit New Zealand in the future. If any of my
friends or clients discuss the possibility of travelling to New Zealand,
I will do my best to dissuade them. Potential visitors to New Zealand
should know that all is not well in paradise and that behind the scenes
you have the same dictatorship we see in the West. Despite all its
physical beauty I still contend that the best part about New Zealand is
its people. If the people of New Zealand are forced to stand in the
shadow cast by a dictatorial federal government, something vital and
essential will have been lost.
Sincerely,
Michael Blanshan
Thank you, Michael.
Thank you, Fluoride Free NZ, for showing the way.
