We're Fluoride Free Alliance UK. We're the national UK organisation which exists to stop Water Fluoridation.
CALL TO ACTION - WE'RE FIGHTING BACK
We've started a legal Group Challenge against existing and proposed Water Fluoridation programmes.

Our Appeal for Donations via Crowd Funding
Fluoride Free Alliance UK has started a crowd funder with Go Fund Me. Donations will initially go towards paying for the cost of sending a Letter Before Claim to the UK Government's Solicitors' Department. More donations will be needed if we progress to a Court hearing.
The aim of the Letter Before Claim is to challenge the Government with legislation which counters the permitting legislation. The Letter will be strengthened with the names of our claimants who live and work in England and who are fluoridated or threatened with fluoridation.
Although we have a goodly number of claimants already, we are happy to increase their number right up to the date when we send the Letter Before Claim to the Government's Solicitors.
There is no possibility of there being a financial penalty for taking part in this stage of our legal Group Challenge because there is no involvement of Court proceedings. Claimants are free to withdraw their participation AFTER the Government Solicitors have sent us their final replies and before any Court action.
We hope, however, that they will stay the course, especially since we will have acquired sufficient funds by the date of any Court case to pay for any adverse costs.
People who become our claimants must be over 18 or over and must live or work in the affected areas.

Why Donate or Volunteer?
There is now very strong science showing that the practice of water fluoridation causes damage to the developing foetal brain resulting in a loss of IQ, increased ADHD in infants, Autism, plus endocrine disruption (thyroid) and hip brittle-bone fractures inter alia in adults.
Worryingly, the UK Government and its Establishment refuses to acknowledge this science and has never commissioned any toxicology studies. It is also ignoring the findings of two recently funded UK dental studies which show little benefit from water fluoridation. This inexplicable attitude has even reached the BBC which is guilty of broadcasting mistruths - no doubt because the Establishment has told them to massage the facts.
In Scotland, fluoridation is not permitted due to Lord Jauncey’s 1983 Ruling which stated that fluoridation is medication without an individual’s informed consent and which violates our Human Rights. Instead, Scotland has implemented a very successful tooth-brushing programme in schools.
Most people recognise that toothbrushing and reducing sugary foods and drinks is the best way of reducing tooth decay. Fluoridating everyone is a sledge hammer approach!
In October 2024, following the US Court Ruling, three eminent professors of toxicology and environmental health, wrote to PM Kier Starmer explaining the problems and arguing against the practice. However, regardless of this science and common-sense, Ministers continue with dogmatic insistence that water fluoridation is safe and effective and are determined to push ahead with increasing fluoridation in the North-East of England.
This insistence on safety and efficacy are both fallacious and negligent. We have examples of such folly from the past: lead in petrol, lead in paint, DDT, asbestos building materials and smoking whilst pregnant. All were considered ‘safe’ in their day, by ‘experts’. That was, until the science caught up and demonstrated that they were most definitely not safe and were banned.
The same conclusion now has to be drawn over the dangers caused by exposure to fluoride in drinking water, especially when the source of the fluoride is a hazardous waste acid (Hexafluorosilicic acid) from the phosphate fertilizer industry and which is banned in Europe! "Fluoride" has been given a cosy reputation by PR experts. it's a protected pollutant which is essential in industrial processes so it must be good to swallow! Throughout its history the adage "give a dog a bad name" has been vigorously keep out of the picture by industrialists, their lobbying groups and influential people with vested interests. We detect the powerful influence of "The Establishment" which is believed to be the real power behind successive Governments. The Napoleonic "iron hand in a velvet glove" and Edward Bernays "invisible persuasion" both flourish today. It's not pleasant to contemplate being manipulated.
Since the Government refuses to engage in the conversation we’re calling for a full moratorium on the practice of water fluoridation through a Group Legal Challenge.
Many have joined already. However, in order to succeed, we are asking for many more volunteers to become members of the "Groups". To qualify, volunteers must be over 18 and live or work in England in areas fluoridated (Group A) or threatened with fluoridation (Group B). We've listed the affected areas below.
If like us, you are worried about this practice and are living or working in a currently fluoridated area or areas threatened with fluoridation please join us. If you have family, friends and colleagues in these areas, please ask them to join in this Group Legal Challenge.
How to decide if fluoridated, threatened or currently unaffected.
Your water company's website will tell you if you are fluoridated. Look for the Water Quality Report or "Water Quality in my Area" if you are a customer of Anglian Water, Northumberland Water, South Staffs Water, Severn Trent Water or United Utilities. All fluoridate their customers although not all of their customers are fluoridated. To find your report, you need to enter your post code when you are prompted to do so.
The Water Quality Reports are detailed and bamboozling! Look for the entry for fluoride. Then read across the row to find the max. concentration. If you are fluoridated, the maximum will be close to 1mg, but if you live in Hartlepool, Uttoxeter and communities on the east cost of England, levels of "natural" fluoride exceed (Hartlepool) or approach 1mg. The underlying rock strata determines the presence and concentration of fluoride in raw water pre-treatment. If there is any doubt, please email Joy Warren on wmaf@live.co.uk who will determine your fluoride status before you register with Kingfisher Justice. ( https://kingfisherjustice.co.uk )
The Threatened Areas of England
The following counties etc are currently threatened with Public Consultations:
Cornwall
Greater London
Leicester City (but not Leicestershire)
Norfolk
Nottingham
Nottinghamshire (some parts of which are already fluoridated)
Rutland
Worcestershire (some parts of which are already fluoridated)
Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire where residents receive water from Water Treatment Works situated in Nottinghamshire. To identify their threatened status, it's necessary to determine the post code of the nearest Notts village to your home and locate the name of the Water Zone which is normally at the top of the Water Quality Report. If this tallies with your Water Zone, they you are threatened.
South Yorkshire is also in the sights of the pro-fluoridation Establishment, and the DHSC has received a feasibility report from the relevant water companies. Although we have not seen any resolve to explore WF from Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley MBCs, it is possible that Sheffield MBC is pro-fluoridation.
Moves to begin an "exploration" of WF begin with the Directors of Public Health (DsPH) who are paid by the relevant local authorities. All DsPH sing out of the same hymn sheet and all are in favour of WF even though the most recent UK research in 2023 and 2024 could only find a modest reduction in dental decay of 3% average in fluoridated children when compared to non-fluoridated children.
The following have had a Public Consultation and we learned on 7th March 2025 of the Secretary of State's decision to fluoridate them:
Durham
County Durham (Consett and Stanley are already fluoridated)
South Tyneside
Sunderland
Northumberland (parts are already fluoridated)
Darlington
Middlesbrough
Stockton-on-Tees
Redcar with Cleveland,
plus, as "collateral damage":
Twenty-three North Yorkshire borderland villages in Rishi Sunak's constituency,
Alston and Nenthead in North-East Cumbria.
That's 1.6 million people in the North-East of England who never knew what was about to hit them!
Why? The Public Consultation was very poorly advertised, deliberately in our view.

On 30th May 2025, Joy spoke with Sonia Poulton of “Wake up with Sonia Poulton and Guests”. What a well-informed lady! We talked about the current legal situation and our Water Fluoridation Group Challenge in England in which Fluoride Free Alliance UK together with our volunteer claimants will be engaging with the UK Government’s solicitors.
Legal action is clearly the way to go, all other means of persuasion having failed. News in from the USA demonstrates that now is the time to take action: 28 million US citizens have been released from or are shortly to be released from water fluoridation following a legal ruling that “fluoride poses an unreasonable risk to the health and IQ of children”.
If the US Government can change its mind, then so too can the UK Government.
Let’s give them a little push!
The USA's Federal Drugs Agency (FDA) is planning to remove fluoride supplements for children from the market.
The FDA has set a goal date of October 31 for completing a safety review and public comment period and for taking appropriate action regarding the removal of these products from the market.
We have seen a full list of communities which have voted to stop Water Fluoridation in the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia -
and it's gargantuan!

In-depth background information
Other Highlights on this Website
We've uploaded information on thwarted attempts to fluoridate the population.
An important document by Carole Clinch (Canada) relates to the delayed eruption of teeth when a child is fluoridated. This phenomenon is denied, of course, by pro-fluoridation dental researchers. However, Carole lists numerous research studies with reproducible results which have found delay and just two which deny delay! The URL leads to Clinch, C. (2010). Delayed Eruption of Teeth & Time at Risk for Cavities. http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/Clinch_2010_Delayed_Eruption-Annotated_Bibliography.pdf
Our fluoridated children sustain damage to their permanent teeth - a lifelong condition known as Dental Fluorosis and this is due to over-exposure to fluoride.
The Government turns a blind eye to the subsequent delay in growth of primary teeth, to Dental Fluorosis, to increased hip fractures, to increased hypothyroidism and now completely ignores the proven permanent non-reversible brain damage and intelligence reduction caused by over-exposure to fluoride..

There's also a new sub-page entitled "Snippets and Funnies" under the Home tab which will be populated with interesting information which we hope will be a source of hope and amusement for all those who want to see the end of WF.

Deliberately added fluoride is not the same as naturally-occurring fluoride
And now a red flag for visitors to this site. Government propaganda would have it that deliberately added fluoride is the same as naturally occurring fluoride. That is very far from the truth. We've created a table comparing deliberately added fluoridating acid and natural calcium fluoride. The table can be found on our Resources page and it's a bit of an eye-opener. The main difference between the two is the cargo of undesirable elements in the fluoridating acid which, for the sake of brevity, will now be referred to as HFSA.
Vitamin D - suppression of information about its efficacy
See also the most recent news item (Home, drop-down menu, News) regarding Vitamin D suppression by the American Dental Association and the ADA's attempt to persuade the USA's National Toxicology Program (NTP) to ignore the science in favour of pandering to the ADA's political agenda. It's interesting that the UK Government (Office for Health Improvement and Disparities) is investigating making Vitamin D easily available to patients who need to supplement with the Vitamin and there has recently been a Consultation which has asked people to send in their views about this.
How the Medical Establishment Covers up the Harms of Adding Fluoride to Drinking Water
by Robert Carnaghan, 1st April 2022
In his article published in The Daily Sceptic, Robert Carnaghan reviews the tortured history of Water Fluoridation in the USA and reveals the damage caused to health by systemic fluoride. The article should be required reading for all UK politicians, particularly those who are slavishly obeying their Party whips.
Radioactive Iodine
by Dr Joseph Mercola, 31st March 2022
The extract below is part of a longer article which Dr Mercola has posted on his website. It's published here because it has direct relevance to the issue that fluoride lowers thyroid function.
"How to Optimize Your Iodine Absorption
While women have a greater incidence of iodine deficiency related to their hormone production, the bodies of both men and women are subject to the poor absorption of iodine and suboptimal use due to environmental contamination that end up in the food supply.
Common contaminants that compete with iodine are listed below. By avoiding or eliminating these from your diet, you can help optimize iodine uptake from the iodine-rich foods you eat, some of which were listed earlier.
- Bromide — Bromides are known endocrine disruptors found in baked goods, pesticides and plastics, among other sources. Because bromide is a halide, it competes for the same receptors used in your thyroid gland and other body areas to capture iodine, thereby inhibiting thyroid hormone production and resulting in a deficiency.
- Fluoride — Fluoride has long been known to displace iodine. As cited by the Fluoride Action Network,23 Chinese researchers “have repeatedly found that an iodine deficiency coupled with fluoride exposure produces a significantly more damaging effect on neurological development than iodine deficiency alone.”
- Nitrates — While there are healthy nitrates, the ones found in processed meats such as bacon, hot dogs, lunch meat and sausage may interfere with your uptake of iodine, so be sure to avoid them. Nitrates from agricultural fertilizer, present in contaminated drinking water, have also been implicated as a potential cause of thyroid cancer.24
- Perchlorate — A contaminant found in groundwater across the U.S. and in measurable amounts in milk, fruit and vegetables. In high doses, perchlorate may inhibit the function of your thyroid gland. Even in low doses, it inhibits the uptake of iodine by your thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism.25,26"

Magnesium - The Tooth Enhancer
Perhaps it isn't fluoride which strengthens teeth after all .....
In 2019, the 5-year-old children's Oral Health Survey found that 50% of the children they examined had dental decay into dentine in Ladywood (Birmingham), and rather high levels of tooth decay in Hodge Hill and Acocks Green Yardley. This was a finding which should have worried the pro-fluoridationists sick because those parts of Birmingham had been fluoridated since 1964. (In fact all of Birmingham and the West Midlands are fluoridated.)
All three districts of Birmingham are provided with water from the Elan Valley. This water is treated at Frankley Water Treatment Works (WTW) prior to being fluoridated and then distributed. Elan Valley water is very low in magnesium. We've obtained a table of magnesium levels in drinking water throughout West Midlands. The shock came when we looked at the results for the WTW zones downstream and to the east of Frankley WTW.
Recommended concentrations of magnesium for adult men and women are 350 and 270 mg/litre respectively. The recommended concentration for children would be between 100 and 200 mg/day. So when we saw the concentration of magnesium in water provided to Ladywood, Hodgehill and Acocks Green Yardley, our suspicious whiskers started quivering. All three districts receive between 1.4 - 1.73 mg Magnesium/litre !
Magnesium is essential for tooth and bone health. According to the Weston A Price Foundation (https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/magnificent-magnesium/#gsc.tab=0 ), magnesium enables calcium to be taken up by both.
The scandal of WF is that it injects a developmental neurotoxin into our drinking water and neglects the science which has found that it is magnesium which is the unsung hero.
Processed food is deficient in magnesium and supplementation is beyond the budgets of disadvantaged families.

It's no wonder that the DHSC has pulled up the drawbridge and lowered the portcullis. Politicians have been wrong all this time but they are too controlled by the Establishment to admit it.
