15-09-2025 REF:  23-0001 OIR 2025-09-10  > 2025-10-08 - ROB - Science Manager - BOPRC Dear Carol, Thank you for your acknowledgement of my OIA (Ref: 23-0001), and I include the history to-date below for reference. For clarity, I now add the following specific questions: In Tauranga City Council,  who authorised the substitution of fluoride with fluorosilicic acid  in the public water supply? Please provide the name(s), position(s), and date(s) of the authorisation. What legal or statutory authority permits this substitution, and under which document(s) was it made? Please provide any documents or studies that validate  fluorosilicic acid as an acceptable equivalent to fluoride  for the purposes of compliance with national fluoridation policy. Finally, I request that  any potential charges be communicated in advance  of engagement, and justified against the LGOIMA criteria of “reasonable to do so.” This information is a matter of public record a...

  Weekly Summary: The Water Ingredient Debate This week, we pushed forward on five key fronts, each exposing cracks in New Zealand’s handling of fluoridation. 1. Ministry for the Environment (MfE) We asked MfE whether an  Environmental Impact Report (EIR)  exists for fluorosilicic acid discharges into public water. Their reply:  “Not our problem— Talk to the Ministry of Health.” Translation: the agency charged with environmental protection disclaims responsibility for toxins entering the environment. 2. Ministry of Health (MoH) An  OIA request is active  with MoH. We expect hedging on the evidence base, infant health, and toxicology. If they refuse, that refusal itself is part of the public record: the Ministry responsible for health won’t acknowledge risk to babies but are happy with the teeth health idea. 3. Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) We asked the simplest question:  is water an ingredient in food? Labels across NZ say yes, yet MPI have tr...

 Kia ora Rob, We have been reviewing your  report  "Environmental impacts of fluoridation"  -  Rotorua City water supply - February 2025 It appears as if that report was inadequate for the Rotorua Lakes Council because on 13 Feb 2025, the council  unanimously asked the Minister of Health to withdraw the fluoridation directive until there is a public inquiry into safety and efficacy. (Letter attached) Please take this into consideration when completing our request for information. Ngā mihi, Ian Stephenson Mayoral Candidate — Tauranga 2028 Link to the letter

📚 Community Education Requirements When the government speaks of Treaty obligations , of protecting rights , of standing for the people —the words sound powerful. But when the very real issue of water safety for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and infants comes into focus, silence falls. It’s as if the system can only rally when it’s theatre—when it’s about a headline, a stage, or a salary. Yet when it comes to the health of their own whānau, their own tamariki, their own mokopuna, suddenly there are no raised voices, no lifted brows, no urgency. Here are the facts: Pregnant women are vulnerable to transplacental exposure. Breastfeeding mothers can pass fluoride through breastmilk. Infants consume three to four times more fluoride per bodyweight when formula is made with fluoridated water (see CDC Fluoridation FAQ ; CDC Recommendations PDF ). Māori communities face even greater risk, due to reliance on community water, disproportionate health burdens, and the p...

Is Water An Ingredient in Food? This is the Keystone question. What did I ask MPI on 29 August 2025? Subject: Urgent Request – Infant Exposure & Shellfish Safety Outcomes Related to Fluoridation To:   foodsafety@mpi.govt.nz  (cc:  OIArequests@mpi.govt.nz ) Kia ora Food Safety Authority, I am Ian Stephenson (Tauranga mayoral candidate for 2028). Following advice from Bay of Plenty Regional Council, I request urgent information under the  Official Information Act 1982  regarding Tauranga water fluoridation and its potential impacts on infants and seafood safety. Specifically, please provide: Infant Feeding Outcomes Any risk assessments, studies, or safety evaluations on infant exposure to  fluorosilicic acid (H₂SiF₆)  and its contaminants (arsenic, lead, radionuclides). Dose modelling for babies consuming formula reconstituted with fluoridated water. Any alerts, advisories, or guidance issued to parents, Plunket, DHBs, or iwi regarding infant feeding...

  6 Hauraki Battalion 1984 Ian Stephenson (eion.co.nz) — Mayoral Declaration 2028 My Principle I want you to know this clearly: I am absolutely serious about running for Mayor of Tauranga. This is not a gimmick or a vehicle — it is a commitment. I am doing my due diligence, and I will leave no stone unturned. That is the whole benefit of walking with me on this journey; together, we will discover how to solve the problems our community faces. I am here to fix the world with Mistral, Millios, and with you. We are stronger together, and we are building solutions that last. If people want solutions, I am here. If not, then I have misread the moment. But I believe this city is ready — ready for truth, for clarity, and for a future we can be proud of. Proof Through Action This campaign is not built on empty words. I do not ask you to take my promises on faith. I ask you to watch the proof unfold. Every step — from questioning the Council’s use of fluorosilicic acid, to holding ...

  Brittle Bones, Broken Trust? This is what we call a 'Trajectory Theory'. Please see Disclaimer notes below: 🦴 Bone is more than structure Bone is porous — designed so that the immune system can test the body’s fluids for disease. This porosity is vital: around 2 litres of lymph per day are filtered through bone marrow. ⚠️ What fluoride really does Fluoride integrates into bone, forming fluorapatite . This makes bone denser, but brittle , and seals off its natural porosity. Result: skeletal fluorosis → fragile ribs, fractured hips, weakened immune defence. 💔 My mother’s story She lived and died with brittle bone syndrome. Fractured ribs — every cough was agony. Lungs weakened, calcium misplaced in the body. Constipation, systemic collapse. A life ended in pain that should have been prevented. 🌊 Fluoride is everywhere It’s not just in your glass of water: 🥖 Bread & baked goods (made with fluoridated water) 🥦 Vegetables (irrigated w...

Review of Corporate Infrastructure: Capital Markets Takeover From Public to Corporate Ownership Once, roads, offices, and utilities were community assets . Today, they are increasingly owned by capital market vehicles : property funds, infrastructure trusts, PPPs. The Property Income Fund owning 90 Devonport Road is a prime example: public money pays rent, while equity and tax benefits flow to investors. The Mechanics of Transfer Build with public planning – Councils justify need. Fund with private capital – Ownership is vested in funds, not the public. Lease-back to the community – Councils pay escalating rent with no asset at the end. Capital market gain – Rent becomes dividend streams for investors, often overseas. Consequences Debt without equity : The community funds infrastructure but owns none of it. Perpetual rent cycle : Every generation pays again for the same services. Profit line offshore : Wealth extracted from Tauranga doesn’t cir...

This blog is a inverse of events. The latest findings will be a t the top. COMMUNITY WARNING!!! As we wait for a reply, there is no evidence the Ministry of Health or any other agency, is warning mothers or expectants, of the risks that the MOH has presented to our community.

22 Plagues of Modern Society: Why Collapse is Within 30 Years if We Don’t Change In just five years, the world around us has been transformed — not for the better, but in ways that human beings cannot adapt to quickly enough. These are not minor adjustments; they are systemic assaults on our biology, our environment, and our communities. Here are the facts: Folic acid fortification – blocks natural folate, undermines resilience. Fluorosilicic acid in water – toxic waste disguised as “health.” mRNA rollouts – experimental technologies pushed without long-term study. Food chemicals – endless additives burdening our detox pathways. Clothing changes – synthetic fabrics and chemical finishes affecting skin and health. EMF, Wi-Fi, LEDs – invisible load cooking us daily. DARVO tactics – Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender; gaslighting truth-seekers. Insect collapse – the base of ecosystems wiped out. Bird declines – fewer pollinators, fewer signs ...

What’s Happening at the Traffic Lights? Modern traffic systems are increasingly run over wireless backhaul (Wi-Fi / 4G / even 5G small cells) rather than buried fibre or cable. It’s cheaper and faster to deploy. Each intersection often has: Wi-Fi uplink (back to central traffic control). Video cameras streaming for monitoring/AI car-counting. Vehicle detection sensors (radar, lidar, or RF loops). When your phone/headset moves into that zone, there’s competition for spectrum. Your Bluetooth is weak power, so it gets swamped. To compensate, both your phone and the traffic-light transmitter push out maximum signal bursts → you feel the “heat.” The Standards Problem EMF exposure standards (ICNIRP, WHO, NZ guidelines) are based on thermal load averaged over time — not on short bursts and spikes. What you’re describing — sudden bursts at intersections — absolutely can exceed safe levels momentarily, but because it’s averaged out in official measurement, it gets ignored. Councils rely on “com...

Breaking Free: My EMF Recovery Protocol Yesterday, I was drained, burnt out, and feeling like my body couldn’t handle another day of EMF and LED exposure. Today, I danced for hours under LED lights, next to Wi-Fi routers and infrared heaters — with a Bluetooth headset on — and felt fine. What changed? A simple recovery protocol. 1. Steamed Spinach, Not Raw For years I ate raw spinach, loading up on oxalates that bound my minerals and blocked folate absorption. That meant no magnesium for my nerves, no folate for my mitochondria, and no resilience to EMF. Problem: Oxalates block folate and minerals. Fix: Steamed spinach breaks down oxalates and frees up nutrients. The difference was noticeable within 24 hours. 2. Avoiding Folic Acid Fortified Bread In New Zealand, all non-organic wheat flour is fortified with synthetic folic acid. Unlike natural folate, folic acid jams folate receptors and blocks the real thing from working. Combine that with oxalates, and you’re locked down. Problem: F...
