Letter #1: Donna Westfall’s letter to the Peel Council
As a former city councilwoman, I was instrumental in investigating my constituent’s complaints about the harmfulness of water fluoridation. As a result I helped in getting an initiative to the ballot and we successfully voted in a moratorium on Nov 6, '12 to turn off the toxic industrial waste fluoride (HYDROFLUOROSILICIC ACID OR HFSA) because our supplier UNIVAR, (formerly Basic Chemical Solutions) would not provide three things:
1.) Toxicological report
2.) Listing of contaminants
3.) Proof that their product was safe for all water consumers, infants to seniors.
This absurd practice of adding HFSA is based more on politics than science. Why should a water department be given the power to medicate anyone when they don't take a health history, they don't pass out a listing of side effects or monitor the dose. This is tantamount to gross negligence. Water consumers started to send in their payment UNDER PROTEST so that when the class action lawsuits begin they would be covered.
After adding water fluoridation for 44 years, our town had 70% cavities in our children’s teeth, (this figure was quoted from Dr. Susan Wellman, Dentist who is pro-fluoride) high obesity rates and low test scores. Hardly an endorsement for continuing this unethical practice. We were also ranked 34th in the nation for cancer while Brookings, Oregon..... just 25 minutes north of us.... was ranked 765th in the nation for cancer for the same time period and Bookings never fluoridated their water.
We have high rates of not only cancer, but thyroid, diabetes and kidney disease all with links to HFSA. One constituent ended up in ER with seizures after showering for 10 minutes. Her doctor has subsequently written a letter describing her allergic reaction to water fluoridation. She was on a medication which contained fluoride and that in combination with absorbing this poison transdermaly by showering put her in the Emergency Room.
New Hampshire Governor Lynch signed into law on Aug 4, 2012 infant warnings concerning mixing fluoridated water with formula because of the high prevalence of fluorosis. Fluorosis is the first visible sign of fluoride poisoning. Our Environmental Protection Agency announced in early 2011 that 41% of our nations teenagers had fluorosis and recommended cutting the parts per million down to .7. Our city council reduced the ppm from 1.2 to .7. That was a step in the right direction but not nearly enough because our EPA is doing nothing to really test or protect the public from this toxic industrial waste product. The only safe level when considering the addition of HFSA to drinking/bathing water is ZERO.
If you happen to call the NSF (which is not a government agency) and ask them questions about the testing they do on HFSA, they will tell you that they won't provide that information because of non-disclosure agreements. If you call the manufacturer, distributor or supplier, they will not provide information about the 3 requested docs listed in my opening paragraph above as I already did that back in 2011. I sent out over 40 letters and got zero responses.
I predict that water fluoridation will become one of the biggest frauds and scams ever perpetrated against the public in the 20th and 21st century. That phrase often quoted by the CDC as being one of the best things since sliced bread was made up by a Public Relations guy. It's time to stop quoting that drivel. Water fluoridation will be compared to Tobacco science, DDT science, Asbestos science, Thalidomide science, etc.
It is my opinion based on the research I've done which has been extensive these last 5 years, that it's all about the money. Some brilliant schemers came up with this idea to get rid of toxic industrial waste by saying it was good for children's teeth. That's a bunch of baloney.
It's good for the bank accounts of the producers of HFSA because if they had to get rid of their toxic industrial waste legally, it would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars. Instead they dupe the politicians with fraudulent science and endorsements which is not science and sell them a product in which humans are utilized to filter this poison through their bodies while 99% goes down the drain.
The dumb politicians buy it hook, line and sinker and shut their brains down. They become incapable of independent thought as I witnessed first hand with my fellow council members and other councils I've visited. But the HFSA manufacturers, suppliers and distributors are laughing all the way to the bank because they've got these municipalities paying them for poison. Plus, I checked out our retirement accounts and lo and behold, the MOSAIC company is one of the funds city employees can invest their retirement money in. Again, as I said, brilliant scheme from start to finish. I just hope to see the day that some of them end up in prison.
But here's the part they don't tell you. In 2011, our city finished a $43.8 million upgrade/expansion on our waste water treatment plant with state-of-the-art technology that utilizes MBR or Membrane Bio-Reactor technology. When I asked our Public Works Director if this gets the fluoride out of the water, he replied, "NO." So this poison is going into our Pacific Ocean.
Poison the public. Poison the oceans. Poison the food and beverages. Because of that, we are all already over-fluoridated.
Please do your homework.
Respectfully,

In my opinion water fluoridation is a big lie just like almost everything else that comes out of big governments mouths. Big government is big business and big business feels that profits come before people. Everything around us is tied into big business from our local government to our local schools. Have you ever wondered why the school nurses promote putting fluoride in the water? The State, which is also big business passed a law Ch. 111 sec 8C that aids big business in poisoning us by promoting the poison fluoride. Fluoride is just part of a larger plan to help big business make sure their corporations turn a profit, its all about the money and the power to control, that goes with it. Life is full of distractions but as we watch ourselves and our loved ones face diseases at younger and younger ages robbing years from our lives, getting rid of a poison from our water supply seems a step in the right direction. Please support the citizen petitions at up coming annual town meeting.
ReplyDeleteA recent visit by friends and their newborn gave me cause for concern. As the baby feeding time was getting near the mother pulled out a formula bottle and started to shake it. I asked do you have well water and she said no. Then i asked does your town fluoridate and she said yes. I said she should ask her doctor if they should avoid the fluoride and she said the doctor said to make sure they used it. The babies need it?
ReplyDeleteThe medical society has it down that it builds things for them?
Not sure about the studies done on that but when the facts come out we should fill the jails up if the facts are not there.
All you can do is try to educate people the best you can Dave. At least now this mother knows that not everyone thinks mixing infant formula with a known poison is a good idea. I had an incident where I tried to warn someone of the focal infections that sometimes come with wisdom tooth extractions. If the wisdom teeth are not extracted properly anaerobic bacteria that do not respond to antibiotics can abscess this area leading to focal diseases that can cause cancer and heart disease. All we can do is add our two cents the back up information can be found if one looks for it.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to note that there is no one on record that has ever done Toxicology testing on HFSA in Canada nor the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThis fact is a hard one to think about!
Is it truly all about the money!
I for one think it is.
