Israel commits to ending water fluoridation by 2014, citing major health concerns


(NaturalNews) Israel's Ministry of Health has made a bold ruling against artificial water fluoridation, reversing more than 15 years of forced poisoning via public water supplies in the Middle Eastern country. A recent announcement by Israel's Supreme Court has declared that a 1974 law permitting -- and a later 1998 law requiring -- all public water supplies in Israel to be fluoridated are both outdated and invalid, and that all current fluoridation programs in the country will have to end by April 9, 2014, in order to comply with new public safety requirements.

The welcomed ruling came after a petition filed last year by two dedicated individuals, including a representative of Israel's Association for Dissemination of Health Education, brought to light numerous dangers associated with water fluoridation. These include lowered IQ, brittle bones and teeth and damage to the thyroid gland, serious side effects that are hardly justified by the flimsy and antiquated arguments claiming that ingested fluoride somehow helps prevent tooth decay.

The three Israeli Supreme Court justices who heard the case, along with Israeli Health Minister Yael German, took all this information to task and ultimately concluded that fluoride is, indeed, a public health threat and provides minimal, if any, health benefit to society. In his ruling, Justice D. Barak-Erez ordered the cessation of all water fluoridation programs throughout Israel by 2014, emphasizing the fact that water fluoridation is dangerous, and the science defending it is outdated and "no longer widely accepted."

"We have noted before us the State's obligation to stop the fluorination of drinking water within one year," reads an English-translated release of the ruling, which you can view at the following link:

US among just a few remaining first-world countries that still poison drinking water with fluoride

Any news of water fluoridation programs being scrapped, even if they are outside the U.S., is of course good news for everyone. And what this recent ruling in Israel accomplishes for the rest of the currently fluoridated world is providing further momentum for ending water fluoridation programs everywhere, especially in the U.S. where the vast majority of public water supplies are still fluoridated.

"Zealous fluoridation promoters try to convince the American public that 'everyone drinks fluoridated water.' But the opposite is true," says Dr. Paul Connett, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Fluoride Action Network. "An overwhelming number of countries do not fluoridate, including 97 percent of the European population. In fact, over half the people in the world drinking fluoridated water live in the U.S."

"What I find remarkable here is that Health Minister German [Israel's Health Minister] has been able to escape the unscientific belief system on fluoridation that traps so many public health bureaucracies in fluoridated countries," he adds.

Fortunately, the truth about fluoride continues to spread, and towns and cities everywhere are rethinking the expensive, dangerous practice. Just within the past several months, for example, Portland, Oregon; Woodland, Washington; Wichita, Kansas, and many other towns and cities across America and throughout the world have decided to end their water fluoridation programs. Are you and your natural health allies willing to put in the necessary effort to see water fluoridation cease in your own community?

"It must be known to you that fluoridation can cause harm to the health of the chronically ill," including "people who suffer from thyroid problems," wrote Israeli Health Minister Yael German in a recent letter to doctors who tried to block efforts at stopping water fluoridation in Israel.

Global warming computer models collapse; Arctic ice sheets rapidly expand as planet plunges into global cooling

Image
(NaturalNews) For years, we've all heard that global warming is threatening our planet. But now, in a stunning turnaround, world scientists are warning that an era of global cooling seems to be upon us, complete with extraordinary expansions of ocean ice being recorded in just the past year. Even the latest UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report seems to indicate that an era of global cooling is now underway, according to many scientists. It turns out that global warming predictions were little more than doom-and-gloom fear mongering based on failed computer models. For example, in 2007, the BBC reported that the Arctic would be "ice-free" by the summer of 2013. Here's exactly how that fear mongering was published by the BBC: Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers with

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, dedicated to recognizing those impacted, as well as providing support for family, friends and research efforts. According to the American Cancer Society, odds are that 1 in 8 women will have invasive breast cancer in her life. A healthy lifestyle that incorporates certain foods may help fight breast cancer. Top 5 Foods to Optimize Breast Health & Help Fight Cancer 1. Broccoli: According to research, consuming cruciferous vegetables can help provide the body with cancer-fighting elements like vitamin C, phytochemicals and calcium. Of all the cruciferous vegetables, broccoli ranks highest in vitamin C content, an antioxidant that may assist with stimulating anti-cancer cells, stopping tumors from spreading and helping the body repair after cancer surgery. It’s been suggested that individuals with higher levels of vitamin C in their blood have a reduced risk of developing cancer than those with lower levels. Adding brocc

6 Surprising Things That Affect Your Brain

Image
Brain scientists in recent years have discovered a number of surprising ways that the brain influences our overall health, as well as how our behavior influences the health of our brain. And unlike in the days of old — when scientists believed the brain was “fixed” after childhood, only to start an inexorable decline in the middle to later years — today, research is showing that the brain is perfectly capable of changing, healing and “rewiring” itself to an unexpected degree. It turns out that the age of your brain may be a lesser influence on its structure than what you do with it. Pursuits that require intense mental focus, like language learning, “switch on” the nucleus basalis, the control mechanism for neuroplasticity. In short, neuroplasticity means you have some control over your cranial fitness. While brain function naturally deteriorates somewhat as you age (though not nearly as muc
