09 September 2012, the controversy over unnatural nuclear industry based fluoride (as opposed to the naturally occurring kind, which can also be bad in large amounts) continues in Arizona, Indiana and Oregon.
A Saint Joseph County Health Officer, in Indiana, is lambasting three cities for their ending of fluoridation of drinking water.
Walkerton town stopped fluoridation because of increased evidence that it is actually causing harm. President of the town council, Karol Jackson, pointed out that people are already exposed to enough fluoride: “It’s also in toothpaste, and some naturally occurs in the groundwater….”
The cities of Lakeville and North Liberty cited the growing financial burden on local taxpayers. By ending fluoridation of drinking water the two towns, combined, will save $2,000 per year: “I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but we’re a small town and we’re trying to keep our rates low.”-Martha Tyler, Lakeville Town Council President
The Saint Joseph County Health Officer is ignorant, firstly because it turns out the local school district/corporation is still adding fluoride to the drinking water in the schools! Secondly, the health official claims that studies show fluoride protects childrens’ teeth. Tell that to the officials who got surprising results from their own study in Oregon!
In Portland, Oregon, city officials are trying to convince the voters to accept fluoridation of their drinking water. Portland is the largest city in the United States that, so far, refuses to fluoridate their water supply!
The dumb (and probably in the pockets of the fluoride industry) mayor, along with some city councilpersons, are trying to get residents of Portland to approve the fluoridation of their water. They’re claiming that the children of Portland suffer from dental problems.
The problem with that claim is that a 2007 study by the Oregon Department of Human Services shows the opposite. The study looked at dental problems of children in Portland and compared them to children outside of Portland.
The rate of urgent dental care in children outside of Portland was 1 in every 17. What about inside Portland, where fluoride is not used in the water supply? Only 1 in 100 needed urgent dental care!!! “Portland has better teeth!”-Kim Kaminski, member of anti-fluoridation group
Some non-white/European residents of Portland claim the city leaders’ closed door meetings on the issue smacks of racism: “I don’t appreciate you trying to alleviate your white guilt by putting toxins in our water!”-Frances Quaempts-Miller
But despite the mountains of eveidence that fluoridation is bad (remember, it’s mainly the English speaking countries that add the radioactive chemical to water, most other industrialized countries refused after their own research) residents of one Arizona town have fired two officials for stopping the use of fluoride!
The people of Gilbert has force the Public Works director to retire, and got the Water Manager fired. This after the officials decided to end the use of fluoride in the local water supply.
The end came when the fluoridation system was found to be so corroded that it need to be replaced. That was in July 2011, and it still hasn’t been replaced.
Get this, the Gilbert fluoridation system had been leaking for three years prior. It got so bad that a white powder was building up on the equipment, and Public Works employees were complaining of extreme irritation to the skin, nose and eyes. And this is the stuff you’re drinking!
The guttsy Water Manager explained the decision that got him fired: “It was my call to stop fluoridation until the issues with the room were resolved. Fluoride comes into the plant on the raw side naturally, so it’s not like there is no fluoride in the water.”-Chris Ochs
Don’t blame city officials for the nuclear industry fluoridation of Gilbert’s water supply, the dumb voters approved it by 54%, in the 2000 elections.
