Rejections of Fluoride

Hi,

Hope you are having a blessed day.

Many cities have rejected fluoride and actually won the vote against it. Our city did, as did three other Arkansas municipalities. However, very soon we are to have fluoride added despite the people's vote since the state is mandating it. Although one, Ashdown, may be exempt from having to fluoridate since their population appears to be under 5000. The original Arkansas fluoridation mandate was for cities with populations above 5000.

Here is a list of some of the cities who have rejected fluoride. The Arkansas cities are on this list.

Thank you for visiting. It is appreciated...
Stephen

Interesting quote:
"If this stuff (hydrofluorosilicic acid) gets into the air, it's a pollutant; if it gets into the river, it's a pollutant; if it gets into the lake, it's a pollutant; but if it goes right straight into your drinking water system, it's not a pollutant. That 's amazing." ~ Dr. J. William Hirzy (2000) Senior Chemist at the U.S. EPA Headquarters

Communities which have Rejected Fluoridation Since 1990

Note: In the following list, the Arkansas cities are now fluoridated which was mandatedby the state government. The vote against fluoridation was ignored.

Baths, Children, & Fluoridated Water

Most children love to take baths. They will play for quite sometime in a bath. All the while they're enjoying that lovely warm water, their skin is absorbing what they are sitting in. So, do you know if your child is sitting in a chemical soup or not? It's a good thing to find out.

Depending on whether a child has eaten, or if there is residual food in the stomach, about 20-50 percent of chemical contaminants are metabolized when foods or beverages are consumed. With dermal exposure and inhalation, however, virtually 100 percent of the contaminants are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

As one EPA scientist put it, "a shower cubicle can be considered an 'exposure chamber.' Exposure to volatile contaminants absorbed via the lung would be about double the same amount from drinking water. In the bath, underarms [axilla], scrotal and vaginal areas as well as the groin absorb far greater amounts than in the normal unwashed forearm test."

The percentages for absorption of parathion are as follows in bathing:

* scalp (32 percent)
* ear canal (46 percent)
* forehead (36 percent)
* plant of foot (13 percent)
* forearm (9 percent)
* palm (12 percent)
* scrotum (100 percent)

Studies done by Brown, Bishop and Rowan in the early 1980s showed that an average of 64 percent of the total dose of waterborne contaminants is absorbed through the skin. A study by British researchers at the Health and Safety Laboratory in Sheffield published in the February 19, 2000 issue of Human Experimental Toxicology suggests that toxicants such as fluorides can be stored in the skin and released over a period of time. The most popular fluoridation agent is fluorosilicic acid, a toxic by-product of phosphate fertilizer production.

On May 10, 1999, US Rep. Ken Calvert, who serves on the House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, asked the EPA to answer a simple question: "What chronic toxicity test data are there on sodium fluorosilicate? On hydrofluorosilicic acid?"

A review of nearly 40,000 research papers listed on National Institutes of Health and other U.S. government Internet sites has failed to discover a single study addressing water fluoridation and dermal absorption.

On June 23,1999, EPA Assistant Administrator J. Charles Fox replied that the "EPA was not able to identify chronic studies for these chemicals."

On September 5, 2000, in response to an inquiry from the US House Committee on Science, EPA Assistant Administrator Charles Fox admitted "there are no water quality criteria for fluoride either for the protection of aquatic life or for the protection of human health."

The EPA earlier confirmed that water fluoridation puts "at risk" 52 million older Americans with calcium, magnesium and vitamin ~ deficiencies. People with cardiovascular and kidney disorders, also, may experience severe "dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis" from excessive exposure to fluorides.

The health threat from using fluorosilicates to fluoridate drinking water goes beyond bathing and drinking the treated water. The substances in the fluorosilicates do not magically vanish. All the pollution released from washing clothes and household items, evaporation from clothes dryers and dishwashers remains in the home. Water fluoridated with phosphate scrubber liquor becomes a vehicle to carry hazardous air pollutants directly into your home.

While this secondary contamination of children from fluoridated water is significant, it has never been investigated by the EPA or the US Public Health Service - although both agencies are aware that pollution scrubber liquor is being used to fluoridate municipal water supplies.

A study by British researchers at the Health and Safety Laboratory in Sheffield published in the February 19, 2000 issue of Human Experimental Toxicology suggests that toxicants such as fluorides can be stored in the skin and released over a period of time.

A review of nearly 40,000 research papers listed on National Institutes of Health and other U.S. government Internet sites has failed to discover a single study addressing water fluoridation and dermal absorption.

All dosage recommendations developed by EPA are based on ingestion alone. The EPA and Centers for Disease Control have never commissioned studies on the dermal absorption of fluoridated water and refuse to do so.

Know the water in which your precious children and grandchildren are bathing. If it is city water that has been mandated to have fluoride, then you may wish to consider a whole house purifying system that removes fluoride.

Windsor, Ontario Removes Fluoridation in "2013"

Many communities, over the last few years, stopped fluoridation in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Recently, both Wichita, Kansas and Portland, Oregon rejected fluoridation 60% to 40%. Hamilton, NZ, councilors voted 7-1 to stop 50 years of fluoridation after councilors listened to several days of testimony from those for and against fluoridation. 

Windsor, Ontario, stopped 51 years of fluoridation! 
Sixteen regional councils have halted or rejected fluoridation in Queensland since mandatory fluoridation was dropped there in Nov. 2012. Meanwhile, New York City Council Member Peter Vallone, Jr. continues in his effort to halt fluoridation in NYC.

Is your community in the process of adding fluoride. Or, if they have it already, are they in the process of removing it? It is time to find out.

99% of Western Europe Refuses Fluoride!

There are states that are still adding fluoride to their water supply, and yet, the statistics show over-whelming refusal to add this substance or ordinances to remove it in many instances in so many countries.

On a chart displayed on this  web site says: 

Despite dental pressure, 99% of western continental Europe has rejected, banned, or stopped fluoridation due to environmental, health, legal, or ethical concerns

Only about 5% of the world population is fluoridated and more than 50% of these people live in North America. 

The Danish Minister of Environment recommended against fluoridation in 1977 because "no adequate studies had been carried out on its long-term effects on human organ systems other than teeth and because not enough studies had been done on the effects of fluoride discharges on freshwater ecosystems."

"In 1978, the West German Association of Gas & Water Experts rejected fluoridation for legal reasons and because 'the so-called optimal fluoride concentration of 1 mg per L is close to the dose at which long-term damage [to the human body] is to be expected.' "
