Your parents have said it, you've said it to your kids. "If
everyone jumped off a cliff, would you do that too?"
Across the country cities are taking sides as to continue fluoridating
their water or stop and others are deciding whether to consider fluoridating. Even though the CDC says that fluoridated
water is safe, if you ask your child to think about it, is it safe? Putting a chemical in the water that is
difficult to remove - is that safe?
Putting a prescription drug into the common water supply to protect
teeth when nutrition counseling or dental clinics would be less impactful on
the environment - would your thoughtful child say this is safe?
Fluoride is not a vitamin. Fluoride
is a chemical ion and how it is manufactured is of great concern for those who
have fluoride placed into their water. Investigate the standards for
fluoride manufacturing in your city.
The chemicals most used to fluoridate drinking water are
silicofluorides, contaminated waste product of industry, that were never safety
tested on humans or animals. Meanwhile we are conducting a massive
toxicological experiment. Our children are the test subjects.
Silicofluorides are linked with children’s increased lead
absorption. Studies link fluoride chemicals to bone fractures, lowered IQ,
thyroid dysfunction, cancer, allergies and more. For those with thyroid
conditions, they should not drink fluoridated water.
On your toothpaste it says 'if swallowed contact poison
control immediately'. And yet we put it in the water to drink?
If you wanted to get fluoride at Walgreens you would need
a prescription. We are putting a prescription drug in the water to
prevent tooth decay. Should we put antibiotics in the water to prevent
flu?
The CDC recommends that we drink fluoride and that it does
no harm. Fluoridation is in their top 10 successes. The CDC does not have the best track record
and ask yourself what you ask of your children.
If everyone did it would you do it too?
Although CDC succeeded more often than it failed,
it did not escape criticism. For example, television and press reports about
the Tuskegee study on long-term effects of untreated syphilis in black men
created a storm of protest in 1972. This study had been initiated by PHS and
other organizations in 1932 and was transferred to CDC in 1957. Although the
effectiveness of penicillin as a therapy for syphilis had been established
during the late 1940s, participants in this study remained untreated until the
study was brought to public attention. CDC was also criticized because of the
1976 effort to vaccinate the U.S. population against swine flu, the infamous
killer of 1918-19. When some vaccinees developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, the
campaign was stopped immediately; the epidemic never occurred. The CDC makes mistakes, as does
everyone. http://digitaljournal.com/article/313892
We have the technology that if we choose to take a fluoride pill we
could do so. Why not respect individual
choices to take a fluoride pill or not and trust that individuals, when
given the correct information, will make responsible decisions. Why medicate the entire population when only
the wealthy will have a true choice to obtain reverse osmosis ionized water purified of
fluoride?
