Dr. Bob Dickson is a retired family physician from Alberta with 35 years of medical practice, a background in kinesiology and paramedicine, and a lifelong commitment to humanitarian and charitable work. Having served with organizations like Change for Children, Tools for Peace, and Results Canada, he has dedicated decades to helping impoverished communities in Central America, Pakistan, and Indigenous communities in Canada. His activism brought millions of dollars into programs fighting starvation and advancing education. Bob’s medical journey shifted dramatically when, after initially supporting water fluoridation in Calgary, he studied the science and realized its dangers.

In this interview, Dr. Dickson shares how he went from being pro-fluoride to a leading voice against it. He explains that fluoridation introduces hydrofluorosilicic acid, often contaminated with heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury, into municipal water. He cites decades of peer-reviewed research linking fluoride to neurotoxicity, thyroid damage, brittle bones, and widespread dental fluorosis. He details Calgary’s long battle with fluoridation, including grassroots activism that removed it in 2011 and the subsequent plebiscite that brought it back in 2021. Dr. Dickson emphasizes informed consent, ethics, and the need to end what he sees as mass medication without choice. His message to Ottawa and Health Canada is urgent: turn off the fluoride taps until safety and effectiveness can be proven. For him, this is not just science but a moral stand for the health and rights of Canadians.
