Request to Revoke Alberta Health and AHS Endorsement of Community Water Fluoridation A personalized letter is best to send to Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Health, Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment, and the Premier. Or a version of the letter below. (Email addresses and distribution lists provided below) Premier Smith, The Hon. Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Health, The Hon. Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Calgary is scheduled to resume water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L in Q1 2025. This decision is informed by Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services (AHS) , which publicly endorse community water fluoridation as a safe and effective measure for preventing tooth decay. According to AHS’s website, “Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services recognize that community water fluoridation effectively prevents tooth decay, especially among people who are most vulnerable. It offers significant benefits with very low risk and reaches all residents who are connected to a municipal water supply . Therefore, Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services endorse community water fluoridation as a foundational public health measure to prevent tooth decay and improve oral health.” https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/oh/Page5455.aspx However, in a landmark decision dated September 24, 2024, the U.S. District Court in Food & Water Watch v. U.S. EPA concluded that water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L poses an "unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment." As a concerned Calgary citizen who does not consent to this treatment , I urge you to revoke Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services' endorsement of community water fluoridation. The court’s Findings of Fact provides compelling evidence that water fluoridation leads to reduced IQ in children and brittle bones in seniors . The ruling explicitly states, “Reduced IQ poses serious harm. Studies have linked IQ decrements of even one or two points to reduced educational attainment, employment status, productivity, and earned wages.” These harms far outweigh the purported benefits of water fluoridation in reducing childhood cavities, which can be addressed through alternative means, including the new Federal Dental Program. There are also new studies, such as the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) meta-analysis of 74 epidemiological studies, which confirm the link between children’s IQ and fluoride exposure. The study, conducted by scientists from the NIH’s National Toxicology Program (NTP) and published in JAMA Pediatrics , on January 6, 2025 found that the more fluoride pregnant women and young children are exposed to, the greater the decrease in a child’s IQ. Unlike childhood cavities, reduced IQ is irreversible , significantly impacting children’s futures and lowering their life trajectories. Under the Alberta Bill of Rights, our Right not to be subject to medical treatment without the consent of that individual "are subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably and proportionately justified, based on evidence in a free and democratic Alberta." A comprehensive risk/benefit analysis of new evidence demonstrates that fluoridation does not meet this standard. Time is of the essence, as Calgary plans to begin water fluoridation in Q1 2025. I respectfully request your immediate attention to this matter to safeguard the health, rights , and future of all Calgarians by revoking Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services' endorsement of community water fluoridation. Thank you for your time and dedication to this critical issue. I look forward to your response.

BABY TOOTHPASTE Below are examples of toothpaste marketed for use with babies under the age of two-years that are safe to swallow specifically because they do not contain fluoride . The amount of fluoride in a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste is the same as a regular glass of fluoridated water. This inconsistency and contradiction doesn’t require much explanation.

MEDIA BIAS SAFE WATER CALGARY MEDIA RELEASE October 13, 2021 POSTMEDIA CENSORS SAFE WATER CALGARY ADS IN HERALD, SUN Postmedia, the media company operating the Calgary Herald and Sun, has banned half-page ads Safe Water Calgary had been running opposing water fluoridation in the upcoming plebiscite. The ads had already run in the Sun on Wednesday and the Herald Thursday and Friday. They were scheduled to run Saturday in the Herald and Sunday in the Sun. Safe Water Calgary had already been guaranteed the ads would be run by Postmedia and had already paid for them in full. It is currently looking into legal options. On Friday, Safe Water Calgary was asked by Postmedia to either reduce their ad to merely saying people should vote No and reference their website or provide a citation or direct URL for numerous statements in the ad. Safe Water Calgary responded within an hour by providing both citations and URL’s for all the statements Postmedia had highlighted. Safe Water Calgary also pointed out that these references were freely available to the public on its website at www.safewatercalgary.com . Less than two hours later, Dean Jager, Director of Media Sales, e-mailed Safe Water Calgary saying “I am writing to inform you that we cannot accept your advertisement at this time.” Jager has not responded to multiple requests from Safe Water Calgary for an explanation why they are now banning the ads. “This is an outrage,” Dr. Robert Dickson, MD, Safe Water Calgary director, asserted. “This is censorship – pure and simple. Are we still in Canada? Do we still have freedom of speech? Postmedia is favoring one side in this debate, restricting the rights of the other side to be heard – an egregious violation of journalism ethics.” Contact: Robert Dickson, MD, Founder and Director, Safe Water Calgary 403-560-4574 drbob_is@me.com Newspaper ads and references, with URL’s, to statements made in them are at www.safewatercalgary.com .

Petition for a moratorium on the addition of fluoride to Calgary's public water.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON FLUORIDE What are our rights? All citizens have the right to safe, clean, and un-medicated water. Why is fluoridation unethical? It is not ethical to force a toxic substance on people without informed consent. What happens when I swallow it? Swallowing fluoride delivers it to the entire body with the potential to harm the brain, thyroid, bones, and kidneys. Can I control the strenghth? When medicine is delivered by public water, it is only possible to control the concentration, not the dose or dosage. How does it affect pregnant mothers and babies? When pregnant mothers and babies drink fluoridated water, they get a much higher dose of toxic fluoride, causing damage to brains and other body systems. Doesn't mother's milk contain fluoride? Babies get a much higher dose of toxic fluoride when formula is made from fluoridated water, which has as much as 200 times the amount of fluoride as mother’s breast milk. I thought water contained fluoride naturally. Fortunately, it is found in small amounts in our rivers. Sadly, what is used for water fluoridation is a toxic substance from the industrial waste stacks in the USA and China. What if I want fluoride for my teeth? There are better, proven, and safer ways to provide fluoride such as fluoridated toothpaste, rinses, mouthwashes, foams, varnishes, gels and inexpensive fluoride supplements. Published research shows that children living in regions without fluoridated water are already ingesting too much fluoride. Toothpaste companies specifically offer non-fluoridated toothpaste choices that are marketed as safe to swallow. How prevalent are non-fluoridated areas? 97% of Europe and 98% of British Columbia and Quebec are not fluoridated. Less than 6% of the world is fluoridated, and less than 40% of Canada. Do professionals support or reject fluoridation? Almost 5,000 professionals worldwide have had the courage to sign an open letter against this outdated public health policy. Can fluoride damage teeth? Fluorosis, the first visible sign of fluoride toxicity, is now affecting more than 70% of teens in the United States, and can cost thousands of dollars to repair.

Write to Minister of Environment to Revoke EPEA Approval of Water Fluoridation in Calgary A personalized letter is best to send to Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment, cc the Premier & Minister of Justice, or a version of the letter below. (Email addresses and distribution lists provided below) The Hon. Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta The Hon. Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas The Hon. Mickey Amery, Minister of Justice Subject: Request to Revoke Alberta EPEA Approval for Water Fluoridation in Calgary Dear Premier Smith, Minister Schulz, and Minister Amery, I sincerely thank you for amending the Alberta Bill of Rights to enshrine the right of individuals not to be subjected to or coerced into receiving medical care or treatment without their consent . As you are aware, the Bill of Rights applies to the Legislature and Government of Alberta in all matters within their authority. Calgary is scheduled to resume water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L in Q1 2025 under the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) approval, which was amended in Q4 2023 to reinstate fluoride into the city’s drinking water. Since EPEA approval is required for municipal fluoridation , it follows that water fluoridation falls within the authority of the Legislature of Alberta and that the right not to be subjected to medical treatment without consent must apply. On September 24, 2024 , the U.S. District Court in Food & Water Watch v. U.S. EPA ruled, based on a preponderance of evidence , that water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L poses an "unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment." As a concerned citizen of Calgary who does not consent to this medical treatment, I formally request that the Alberta EPEA approval, amended in Q4 2023 to reinstate fluoridation, be revoked. The court’s Findings of Fact provide compelling evidence that water fluoridation: Reduces IQ in children Contributes to brittle bones in seniors The ruling explicitly states: “Reduced IQ poses serious harm. Studies have linked IQ decrements of even one or two points to reduced educational attainment, employment status, productivity, and earned wages.” The only claimed benefit of fluoridation is a reduction in childhood cavities. However, unlike cavities—which can be prevented and treated through alternative means, such as the Federal Dental Program—reduced IQ is irreversible, impacting a child’s future prospects and quality of life. The Alberta Bill of Rights states that the right not to be subjected to medical treatment without consent is subject only to “reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably and proportionately justified, based on evidence in a free and democratic Alberta.” Given the latest scientific evidence and the U.S. District Court’s ruling , a proper risk/benefit analysis does not justify overriding this fundamental right. Additionally, the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law —binding on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency —further confirm that Calgary’s proposed water fluoridation poses an "unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment." This evidence alone should warrant the immediate suspension of the Alberta EPEA approval for Calgary’s fluoridation program. Time is of the essence, as Calgary is set to begin fluoridation in early 2025 . I urge you to act swiftly to protect the health, rights, and future of all Calgarians by revoking the Alberta EPEA approval for municipal water fluoridation. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response.

FLUORIDE SUPPLEMENTS At the right (below on mobile) are guidelines for prescribing oral fluoride supplements from the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) and the American Dental Association (ADA) . Relevant text has been highlighted. Also the table in the ADA file and Table II on page 7 in the CDA doc shows the amounts of oral fluoride supplements that dentists can prescribe for children per day. Dentists cannot prescribe any amount of a fluoride supplement to babies 6 months or younger and a maximum of 0.25 mg of a fluoride supplement to babies between 6 months and 3 years. Fluoridated water = 0.7ppm = 0.7mg / l = 0.23 mg fluoride in a regular glass of water (333 ml) , which means that fluoridated water results in bottle fed babies, children and people of all ages ingesting amounts of fluoride that surpass the daily limits of fluoride supplements that Canadian and US dentists can prescribe to people living in non-fluoridated areas. As the CDA & ADA texts stipulate, before a US or Canadian dentist can prescribe fluoride supplements, the dentist must first: Assess their patients dental caries risks (diet, oral hygiene habits, etc.) Ensure that their patient is consuming non-fluoridated water with naturally low levels of fluoride. Assess the patient’s overall daily exposure to fluoride from toothpaste, mouthwashes, foods & drinks. TAKE HOME MESSAGES When dentists or doctors endorse water fluoridation, they are encouraging a practice that results in children and adults receiving more daily fluoride than a dentist or doctor can prescribe in the form of oral fluoride supplements. Contrary to administering fluoride through public water, prescribing oral fluoride supplements requires: Individual assessment of dental caries risk Individual assessment of overall daily fluoride exposure levels Dosage monitoring CONSENT FINAL NOTE People who truly want to swallow daily fluoride can get a prescription and purchase a year's supply of fluoride supplements for as little as $13. American Dental Association Supplements American Dental Association Supplements Canadian Dental Association Supplement Guidelines Canadian Dental Association General Guidelines

CANADIAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION The icon on this page leads to an official Canadian Dental Association (CDA) document demonstrating contradictions between the CDA's claim that fluoridated water is safe and the CDAs guidelines for daily fluoride exposure limits from toothpaste, mouth rinses and oral supplements to protect against children developing dental fluorosis . In the first pages, fluoridating water is endorsed as a safe way of reducing tooth decay. CDA Official Web Documents NOTE: Fluoridating water = chemically raising the fluoride levels in a population’s water to 0.7 ppm = 0.7 mg/l = .23mg in a regular glass of water (333ml) = a pea size amount of toothpaste. Then on pages 3 and 4, guidelines to minimize exposure to fluoride from fluoridated toothpaste, mouthwash and oral supplements are incongruous with the idea that it is safe to increase everyone's — and especially children's — overall daily dose of fluoride through fluoridating water. The dosage .05 to .07 mg fluoride per kg per day is provided as a blood level of fluoride from all sources that the CDA states must not be exceeded to protect against the development of dental fluorosis. When you do the math, the following are examples of children and people whose fluoride levels would exceed the CDA’s daily limits if the water they drink and prepare food with is fluoridated to .7ppm = .7 mg/l = .23mg in a regular glass of water. Formula fed babies whose formula is mixed with fluoridated water. Children who regularly consume industrially grown & especially processed foods & drinks that now contain significant levels of fluoride due to: The common use of phosphate fertilizer that has increased since the '70s. The common use of fluoride-based pesticides that has been increasing since the '70s. The processing of foods and drinks with fluoridated water that has been increasing since the '80s. Boxed cereals processed in fluoridated regions, mechanically deboned chicken, tea, especially bottled ice tea and white grape juice are examples of foods that published analysis have shown to contain 6 to 9 times the amount of fluoride found in fluoridated water. NOTE: The Canadian and American dental associations' guidelines for prescribing oral fluoride supplements is even more contradictory as it stipulates that babies 6 months and younger cannot be given any amount of fluoride and children between 6 months and 3 years of age can be given no more than 0.25 mg of a fluoride supplement per day. This level of fluoride is far below what children, especially formula fed babies, receive when their water is fluoridated to 0.7 ppm = .7 mg/l = .23mg per regular glass of water (333 ml) . Fluoride supplement prescription guidelines also emphasize that fluoride supplements are only for children living in unfluoridated regions with naturally low levels of fluoride. Dentists must also assess the child's overall exposure to fluoride from toothpastes, foods and drinks before prescribing fluoride supplements to ensure that their prescription does not lead to fluoride over-exposure and, like school fluoride rinse programs, parents have a choice and the right to consent. None of these considerations are taken into account when dental and medical associations promote water fluoridation policies.

DENTAL FLUOROSIS A Dental Disaster When fluoridation first began, the proponents promised the American public that the only and worst risk from the program was that something less than 10% of children might have a few faint white spots on their ‘cavity resistant’ teeth which many would find adds an attractive sparkle. Also of note, the researchers in the early fluoridation trials treated African American children differently from the outset, writing that it was common knowledge that Negros have stronger teeth more resistant to decay. It didn’t take long for those involved to realize that something was very wrong, but their reaction per 1962 memo that noted high rates of fluorosis that was doubled in the African American children emphasized protecting the fluoridation program. As both the numbers of Americans and percentage of the population drinking fluoridated water swelled, dental fluorosis also grew, disproportionately and with worse severity in Black and Latino populations. Dental fluorosis is a defect in the tooth due to cell death during the formative stages. Those with dental fluorosis have higher bone fractures as well as higher rates of learning disabilities. Dental fluorosis is the visible evidence of similar defects due to cytotoxic effects that occur in bones and brains during critical periods of development, i.e. prenatal, infancy and early childhood. Dental fluorosis is also a leading indicator of higher dental costs as these unattractive and brittle teeth will require costly veneers and crowns in young adulthood. Per 2011-2012 NHANES figures released in 2017, one in five (23%) American teens have brown mottling and perhaps pitting on at least two fluorosed teeth due to childhood exposure.

The continued increase in fluorosis rates in the U.S. indicates that additional measures need to be implemented to reduce its prevalence.” May 23, 2018

Write to City Council to request a moratorium on fluoride being added to Calgary's water A short personalized letter is best to send to your Councillor, or a version of the letter below. (Email addresses and distribution lists provided below) Hello Mayor and Councillors: I reside in the community of ____________, in Ward ___. Please put an immediate moratorium on the reintroduction of water fluoridation to Calgary’s public water. Fluoride and artificial water fluoridation are neither safe, effective nor ethical. When added to public water, there is no control over dose, and fluoride is not needed for a single body function. It is fast becoming common knowledge that fluoride reduces children's IQ and as a result, dozens of municipalities in North America have ceased the practice base on the recent US court ruling and several recent medical journal publications. You cannot guarantee that fluoride is safe and effective for everyone. I look forward to your response.
