When Aisling FitzGibbon was alerted to the toxic nature of fluoride, she removed it from her drinking water – with remarkable results in terms of improved health. Now she is taking a case against Ireland's mandatory fluoridation.

"I was going to the doctors, and I was being treated with anti-depressants, but I wasn't getting better," she recalls. "In fact I was getting worse, to the point where my whole life-quality had diminished. That's why I had to seek another solution. I wouldn't have known about fluoride toxicity unless I'd been forced into finding out about it."

"Fluoride interferes with thyroid function," states FitzGibbon. "I've met people that didn't have any thyroid problems until they moved to Ireland and started drinking the water here."

Now FitzGibbon is calling on the people to get behind the campaign to stop the mandatory fluoridation of our drinking water.

"Germany stopped fluoridation decades ago on ethical grounds, because it's unethical to mass-medicate an entire population. For our case to be successful, we need people to back it, not necessarily with money, but with their presence," urges FitzGibbon.
