Unsafe NEUROTOXIN injection is a form of medication without the public's consent. Citizens become informed & empoweered. Fluoride in our water is an unsafe condition
There is a serious need to completely overhaul our potable water supply system. This overhaul should start with complete chemical analysis of chemicals and the effects of these cohemicals on the User. The specific chemical contaminate is the injection of Hydrofluosilicic acid (fluoride) in our water supply. This man made NEUROTOXIN (a toxic waste product from the phosphate fertilizer industry)is a form of medication without public consent & approval. This toxic poison is supposedly to prevent tooth decay? Tooth decay (Dental Caries/cavities)is an unmet public health need. The basic causes of tooth decay are from Bacteria(S. Mutans)& hygene and can only be resolved thru parental education. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has never approved fluoride as a means of being injested. Fluoride has only been endorsed by the FDA as a TOPICAL Solution NOT SYSTEMIC (swallowed). Fluoride varnish in a concentrated form only helps the tooth enamel but looses it effectiveness after 30 to 45 minutes after applicatiion. Therefore, placing fluoride in the water supply is a waste of money with no benefits. If placing topical solutions in our water is such a good idea, why have not the government and elected officials placed SUNTAN LOTION in water solution for us to drink and prevent SUNBURN when outdoors & or at the beach? How about BEN-GAY in solution for sore muscles? There are four (4) significant challenges:
1. Infants should not be exposed to fluoride. The highest dose of fluoride go to bottle fed babies because of their sole reliance on liquids for food. 2. Fluoride (hydrofluosilicic acid is NOT pharmaceutical grade - it is classified a hazardous material. 3. Kids & adults already overexposed to fluoride showed 41%+ had FLUOROSIS (Mottled teeth from too much fluoride). 4. Health Problems: Impaired thyroid function, skeletal fluorosis,reduction in IQ, and reduction in melatonin from the pineal gland which increases cancer risk. And what about person's in need of dialysis treatment? Fluoride will kill a kidney patient. Let the individual public decide what medication they want & need. Did you know the AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION (ADA) is a trade assoc.with no legal duty of care to protect the public and especially from allegedly dangerous products used by dentists.
