Public Relations to Sell Fluoridation to overcome distrust of Dentists

[Guest guest]

The Dental Associations should begin to think that JUST MAYBE their

positions

on fluoridation and mercury fillings have finally been recognized for their

harmful recommendations over the YEARS!

Subj: Dentists Employ " Liars For Hire "

 

Ralph Blois has reported to us via his printed WASP newsletter that the

Washington Dental Service has hired a public realations firm (also known as

" liars for hire " ) to promote the public's awarenss for the need for improve

dental health including fluoridation, called the Frameworks Institute, with

no mention of improved nutrition.

 

Here's detailed advice they give which includes portions about fluoridation

This is some of what they say: " The Frames (or beliefs) We're Up Against...

5) When prompted, adults can understand that children's oral health is a

community responsiblity " I believe this sets the stage for voters accepting

or even asking for water fluoridation.

 

Interesting: " Dentists were not viewed by the public as trusted sources on

this issue " (oral health)

 

The institutes guidelines in " reframing " or changing people's minds by using

powerfull " messengers " to say things like " children's oral disease is

entirely preventable " (which it isn't the way they do it - nutrition is the

only way)

 

and " fluoridation of the water supply reduces caries by about 26% in

adolescents "

 

The messengers they decided would influence people the most are " school

nurses, pediatricians, senior citizens, other health professionals should

serve as the prime messengers. Dentists are seen as self-serving on this

issue and not completely connected to a whole health model in the public's

mind...Dentists need to weigh in as experts when state legislators who go

out

on a limb to romote fluoridation... "

 

Frameworks suggests about visuals " ...scientists discussing fluorides in the

drinking water... "

 

They say nothing about nutrition in this report that scanning the document

showed and it seems they want to take the responsibility for good teeth away

from the parents and make it a community responsibility - sad. In other

words, eat what you want, it's the governments responsibility to take care

of

your teeth. And our tax dollars fund this endeavor.

 

This is what frameworks came up with

When you click on this URL http://www.kidsoralhealth.org/

This pops up " Fluoridate! Check to see if your community water has fluoride.

If not, support it! " However, the messages change.

 

Please note that they are using Washington State as a testing ground that

they hope to expand to the entire country.
