Thanks for caring, but mind your own business

To the citizens concerned about my health,

For all of the people concerned about my ingesting fluoride for my health and the health of the community. Two words of advice — please don’t.

It has been a conscious effort for me to avoid Sandpoint water for the past 30 years in order to keep fluoride out of my and my family’s systems. I have done my homework and know the repercussions this poison brings.

Originally, decay prevention was carried out with calcium fluoride yet sodium fluoride is the chemical added to city water supplies. Sodium fluoride is an extremely toxic by- product of the aluminum industry and difficult to dispose of. Up until the time cities added it to water, it was used primarily as rat poison. After its approval in the cities water supplies, the price went up 1000 percent almost overnight.

Studies indicate that fluoride is one of nature’s principal aging factors. It inhibits proper functioning of the thyroid gland and all enzyme systems. This makes weight reduction very difficult, is a contributor to broad bottoms and is responsible for abnormal height in some young people. Fluoride damages the immune system. Disorders that arise are  sclera derma, lupus and various forms of arthritis. The likelihood of cancer and other degenerative diseases is also increased.

Public water is usually dosed with sodium fluoride in quantities of  one part per million. This concentration of fluoride can be a potent pathogen when used regularly, according to principals of homeopathic medicine.

In conclusion, thanks for thinking of others but next time, mind your own business. I am capable of taking care of my own family’s health. We are not into chemicals and unnecessary drugs in our bodies that other people prescribe.

If you and your family need this toxic waste, please, go purchase it and help yourself. I thank God the water in Sandpoint will no longer be medicated against my will and will not be forced to purify every drop that comes out of the faucet from now on.
