FAN CAMPAIGN BULLETIN #65: Bryson Book ad in the NY Times on Sunday.
THE FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK

June 24, 2004Dear All,
For those readers who may be less familiar with American newspapers, I should point out that a key place to go to for book reviews in the US is the Book Review section of the Sunday edition of the NT Times. That is why it is extremely exciting that this coming Sunday (June 27) there will be a full color advertisement for Chris Bryson's book, "The Fluoride Deception" in this section . If you live in America - or anywhere else that the NY Times can be purchased -please tell your friends and others that this is happening. For those who cannot obtain this paper and would like me to do so I will send you a copy of the ad. electronically.
Meanwhile, some disappointing news on our FAN conference (July 30-August 2, 2004). We heard yesterday that Karl Jensen will not be able to attend for personal reasons. However, Dr. Phyllis Mullenix , the neurotoxicologist, who is featured at the beginning and throughout the Bryson book, has agreed to expand her keynote talk on the brain. We have asked Phyllis, as we have asked all our speakers, to put her presentation in a language a non-specialist can understand. So this will be a splendid opportunity for FAN members to find out more about how the brain works and how fluoride can damage its delicate mechanisms. Phyllis's presentation will be followed by a panel discussion involving herself, Dr. Albert Burgstahler, the science editor of the journal Fluoride, which has carried several important papers from China on fluoride's ability to lower the IQ of children, and Dr. Roger Masters whose work has shown that the water fluoridating agents hexafluorosilicic acid and its sodium salt are associated with a greater uptake of lead - a known neurotoxic agent - into children's blood.
