They put all these chemicals in the water and only to be
removed anyway?! Smart system?!
Government wants you to use water filter but they don’t tell
you directly? They don’t actually inform the danger to the public directly and
how to use water properly.

Fluoridation: Questions and Answers - NSW Health

…Kidney Health Australia also state that there is no evidence that consumption
of optimally fluoridated water causes chronic kidney disease or poses any risks
for people with established chronic kidney disease.
In the case of dialysis, fluoride concentrations in the final feed water
to the dialysis machine must comply with established water guidelines, and be
less than 0.2 mg/L. The dialysis water must be deionised (free of electrically
charged particles) to ensure it is able to filter the dialysis patient’s blood
appropriately. This issue relates to all electrically charged particles, not
just fluoride. Dialysis machines use
reverse osmosis to remove fluoride and other electrically charged particles…

Is individual consent required to fluoridate?
…in Article 6 states that any preventive, diagnostic or medical
therapeutic intervention is only to carried out with prior free and informed
consent (UNESCO 2005). The view of most public health bodies is that
fluoridation is not an individual therapeutic intervention and individual free
and informed consent is not required...
So they just poison the mass and
believing they’re doing the right thing!
What is worse: untreated water that
can be boiled or the treated water that can't be boiled?
Algae

When a bloom is detected, alternative sources of water should be
sought for human consumption and domestic purposes until specialised treatment
processes can be introduced. Boiling water does not destroy algal toxins and
can, in fact, release more toxins as the blue-green algae are killed.
Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 6 2011
Chapter 1
Introduction
Page 1
Safe drinking water is essential to sustain life. Therefore,
every effort needs to be taken to ensure that drinking water suppliers provide
consumers with water that is safe to use.
The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (the ADWG) are intended to provide
a framework for good management of drinking water supplies that, if
implemented, will assure safety at point of use. The ADWG have been developed
after consideration of the best available scientific evidence. They are designed
to provide an authoritative reference on what defines safe, good quality water,
how it can be achieved and how it can be assured. They are concerned both with
safety from a health point of view and with aesthetic quality

NSW Health
Response Protocol: for the management of physical and chemical quality
The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines have set aesthetic and health
related guideline values for physical and chemical characteristics. Aesthetic
guideline values are set at the concentration that ensures water is aesthetically
pleasing in terms of taste and odour, and can be used without causing corrosion
of plumbing or staining. Health-related guideline values are set at the
concentration that, based on current knowledge, does
not result in any significant risk to the health of the consumer over a
lifetime of consumption.
Why do governments tolerate the following
claim?
Is Tap Water Safe for Drinking?
Until the late 1990s, Australians
took pride in their safe drinking water. Then, in 1998, just when Sydney was
preparing to host the 2000 Olympics, Sydney Water was forced to send out an
alert warning that water from its largest treatment plant contained dangerous
parasites and was unsafe to drink. Although the problem was eventually
addressed, the source of the contamination was never pinpointed and the
incident marked the beginning of the end of the public’s trust in the safety of
tap water for drinking.
After that dangerous and embarrassing incident, sales of bottled water began to
soar and many Australians swore off tap water. Over a decade has passed since
then, though, and now an argument rages between those who think bottled water
is an expensive rip-off and those who don’t believe enough is done to safeguard
our tap water. Two of the gravest concerns about tap
water centre around heavy metals and the chlorine that is used to disinfect the
water:
·
Heavy metals are known to
cause a number of neurological and physical diseases.
·
High levels of chlorine are
linked with a number of health issues, including miscarriages and birth
defects.
