Discussion that challenges supposed mainstream beliefs and officially accepted stances

Some issues when discussed can cause a range of reactions. Sometimes they can lead to an awakening, the beginning of a journey to discovering something new, or they can can cause a certain type of reaction in a person who may not like what they hear. I think that it's all about how we choose to deal with the info we're hearing and how we process it.

 

Take the issues of let's say ....  fluoride and mobile phone tower radiation. The government has allowed the fluoridation of our water and they have allowed the construction of mobile phone towers in residential areas. Does that mean the water is safe to drink and it causes no ill affect? Does that mean that the mobile phone towers are safe?  What about the handsets. Are they safe for children to use and hold against their heads?

 

Well, we discuss these things and some people do react angrily to the people discussing these issues. Does this mean that we have to stop discussion that challenges the supposed official stance or challenges what we are told is the mainstream belief? Do we have to self-censor or have this in a [private group? I have noticed that in discussion forums or the media that racist beliefs are a;allowed a platform and yet issues that many folk feel that need to be addressed because of health concerns are not given the same platform. To me racism is abhorrent and yet in the media, it gets the pass ticket while issues that some call important to health freedom do not! Why is that?  Could it be political? What are your thoughts?

My understanding is that this therapy also requires bio-accessible zinc - although I suppose if patients already have enough in circulation no suppliment is required 



Yeah that's true. In a lot of cases it requires supplements as you say I have run out of zinc tabs. I'll get some just for general health.  Good point about circulation. I'll look into that.

QUOTE Martin Deane:

 

“Water fluoridation is religion rather than good science,” says Deane, who joined the Green party the last time fluoridation was on the agenda, in 2005. “It’s mass medication, with no control of dose as there’s no control over how much water one person will drink in any given day. And since 96% of the water supplied is not drunk, that’s a waste of 96% of the money spent on fluoridation.”

The above explains a lot. This is why some people do not want to hear anything that challenges what they were taught to believe. Yes, it is a religion of sorts.

OK, you've put 3  posts in series on this thread. I am wondering why you don't want to engage. This is not a good look and it appears you are just attempting to flood the thread with meaningless filler.

 

Could I ask you why you are doing this? Please will you give me a straight answer?

I'm a Fiona fan too.......   and ARS.  I must say though I'm bemused by the value of some truly ugly junk  pieces that appear.  I must check out my pile for the op shop.

 

Oops,  off topic.  What was the topic again?  Challenging mainstream beliefs, well yes I do challenge the value of some of that stuff on ARS.
