In the news I read an article about a Florida County (Pinellas County) that voted to end the adding of fluoride to their drinking water. Hoo Boy, you would have thought they were seceding from the nation! The media, liberals and medical experts were on the war path, out to make the county leaders as the epitome of EVIL! "You don't care about public health!!!" they cried. "You've let those TEA party Republicans get you do make this dastardly move!" Oh the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth!
Excuse me here just a moment. Hold on! STOP EVERYTHING!!!
Can I just ask one teensy, weensy little question or two, please? A question that should have popped into most everyone's heads. If fluoride were essential for our health, why isn't it already in our water? Why hasn't fluoride been added to our water for thousands of years? Oh, that's right, we're not all gonna die next year, if we don't have tons of fluoride added to our water. Fluoridated water is a modern thing, a thing started in the 1940s. A thing that has been going on in this, the age of cancer. Yes, cancer is one of the top 5 causes of death in the US, folks.
As it turns out, fluoride and chlorine are carcinogens. And sooner or later, some people are going to get cancer from these carcinogens that are added to water. So the Pinellas County officials, by ending fluoridation of their water, are actually doing the best thing that could be done for the public health. Said one official, "You don't have the right to "medicate" us [with fluoride] if we don't want it."
On top of that, it will save the county government $205,000+ a year! Yes, that right, it costs the taxpayers a gob of money to have poisons added to their drinking water, so that later on they will get sick, and will have to go to the medical establishment for "treatment".
Another problem with Fluoride is that it interferes with thyroid activity. Fluoride belongs to the halogen family, as does Iodine. Now the body needs Iodine to make important chemicals in the body. Iodine and Fluoride are similar, since they belong to the same family, but there is a difference. Fluoride has a stronger charge than Iodine. Because of this, if fluoride is present, it will take the place of Iodine in the chemicals that the thyroid makes. But the chemical made with Fluoride is useless to the body. And fluoride will destroy the thyroid over the course of time. Just recently here in Glendora, CA, fluoride began to be added to the drinking water in 2007. And this last year, a friend of mine had to have his thyroid removed because it became cancerous. Fluoridated water really made his life better!
Experts say that fluoride prevents cavities. Not really. If you eat enough sugary things and let them stay on your teeth, you will still get cavities. A far safer way to prevent cavities is to limit or exclude the consumption of sugared foods and drinks. Educate parents and children. Not only will cavities be reduced, but other serious health problems will be averted.
So I say, "kudos" and congratulations, to the Pinellas Co., Fla. officials for ending fluoridation of their water. They are doing the best thing possible for the public health, and they are saving taxpayer money.
As for the chemical industry that produces fluoride (which is actually a waste product of other industries), the medical and dental experts, and the liberals who want to force the public to be treated with fluoridated water, and other poisonous matter: do it to yourself, and leave the rest of us alone!!!
