Gradually and by degrees the principle of personal freedom is being eroded. Where once the province of health and our choice of health care was our own business, more and more are we becoming subjected to the over-riding dictatorship of governments and bureaucracies.

For example, in the U.S. and to some extent in Australia and no doubt other countries, the bureaucratic health departments such as the FDA are enforcing mass public inoculations, vaccinations and subjecting the public to chemicals and procedures that they would not consciously choose. We are not generally informed as to the risks we are subjected to in the chemicals and toxins that surround us not in everyday life in western countries as in the case of plastics, aluminium and asbestos.

 In spite of public voice to refrain from fluoridation of water supplies, general fluoridation of water now is used, including in Queensland where the public voice against it was strong. This has gone ahead in spite of scientific findings of the carcinogenic potential.

When a carcinogen or unsafe substance is identified, as in the case of tobacco that causes so many deaths, why is no action taken to prohibit the sale of cigarettes that are easily available over the counter?  It is easy to doubt the sincerity of ‘health department’ regulations that claim to protect public health and to believe that the motivation that allows cancer producing and addictive products to be flagrantly marketed can only be through intervention of the profit seeking tobacco companies. So the non-smoking public continues to be subjected to the dangers of cigarette smoke, albeit indirectly.

By stealth we are being subjected to many drugs and chemicals that do not claim to be helping our teeth, such as chlorine. In spite of being a suspect carcinogenic, chlorine in the water of swimming pools is now mandatory and is so detrimental to the senses, to those with asthma and suffer allergies to skin or lungs that they cannot swim in public pools or participate in swimming carnivals.

Regarding the quality of our food, we endure controversial matters and methods that as yet cannot be claimed as totally safe such as the waxing of fruit, irradiation of fresh produce, and foods produced by genetic engineering.

Consumers who wish for better basic health issues to be addressed so that we are confident that our children’s health will not be damaged must speak out against unethical medical issues, else we will become silent victims of serious circumstances that we may not be able to alter.

We must retain our human rights related to our health.
