While many important issues of the day may be holding our attention, we must not forget that the fight to preserve our communities from the mass medication known as fluoridation must go on. Here below we reprint excerpts of a letter which appeared in the August, 1962, issue of Prevention magazine. The author is Dr. Douw G. Steyn, professor of pharmacology on the medical faculty of the Institute of Pathology in South Africa. The letter was written to the mayor and councillors of Detroit, Michigan. We reprint these excerpts with the kind permission of the editors of Prevention. Where emphasis is shown it has been supplied in the text.
Not a fluorine deficiency but deficient diets are the most important single cause of dental decay. Serious consideration should immediately be given to the results of experiments conducted by Asiander, and his co-workers, namely - that food supplementation with bonemeal has a most pronounced caries-protective effect in children.
Bonemeal is a wholesome food.
There is additional sound evidence that fluorine is not an essential nutrient.
Fluorine is the most dangerous poison from the chronic toxicity point of view; as it is so very prone to accumulate in the body. For this reason its chronic toxic effects may be discernible only after 20, 30, 40, or more years.
Fluorine may be harmless in certain water supplies whereas the same concentrations in other water supplies may be, and at times are, harmful to health. There is evidence that fluoridated water protects teeth only in early childhood and that it has no such effects in later life. If this is so, then it is most wasteful to alloy many millions of people of more advanced age to drink such water. Also, only a very small portion of fluoridated water is used for drinking purposes; industries consume enormous quantities of it.
The method of statistical analysis employed in the American fluoridation studies has been severely criticized in the United States, Britain, France and Australia. The basis of these criticisms is firmly supported by information supplied in recent publications.
Before proceeding with fluoridation studies, or implementing it as a means of combatting tooth decay, those concerned are well-advized, in the interests of many millions of people, to subject the American method of statistical analysis to severe scrutiny in the light of the criticisms levelled at it. In this way a great future tragedy may be averted. The fluoridation of drinking-water is illegal, immoral and unethical and seriously infringes the religious convictions of many millions of people throughout the world. We dare not deny any individual the right to decide for himself, or herself, in this matter as their attitude constitutes no danger to their fellow-beings or to communities.
It is dangerous to permit many millions of people to drink water containing the same concentration of fluorine irrespective of their age, susceptibility, diet, sex, type of employment, living conditions and state of health. If this were to happen some individuals may imbibe up to twenty times or more fluorine than other individuals.
"Internationalism with its corollary a World State... is one end of the scale and self-determination of the individual is the other... The smaller the genuine political unit, the nearer you are getting to self-determination of the individual."

Rougemont Quebec Monthly Meetings
Every 4th Sunday of every month, a monthly meeting is held in Rougemont.
In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world. We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations. The reader will come to understand that "crises" are created and that when governments attempt to get out of the grip of financial tyranny wars are waged.
An Efficient Financial System, written by Louis Even, is for the reader who has some understanding of the Douglas Social Credit monetary reform principles. Technical aspects and applications are discussed in short chapters dedicated to the three propositions, how equilibrium between prices and purchasing power can be achieved, the financing of private and public production, how a Social Dividend would be financed, and, finally, what would become of taxes under a Douglas Social Credit economy. Study this publication to better grasp the practical application of Douglas' work. 
Reflections of African bishops and priests after our weeks of study in Rougemont, Canada, on Economic Democracy, 2008-2018
The Social Dividend is one of three principles that comprise the Social Credit monetary reform which is the topic of this booklet. The Social Dividend is an income granted to each citizen from cradle to grave, with- out condition, regardless of employment status.
Economic Democracy is a book to explain Social Credit in lessons presented in logical order so it may be easier to the reader to grab the main principles of Social Credit rapidly and somehow easily.
In This Age of Plenty deals with Social Credit, but it does not exhaust the topic. Social Credit principles address social and political matters, as well as, or even more so, than economics and will put civilization on a new course.
From Debt to Prosperity outlines briefly the economic analysis and constructive proposals known as Social Credit.
