Kudos to Tom Loncarich and the Wakaw Town Council for looking into the issue of water fluoridation. I have given serious thought to approaching Humboldt City Council on this issue.
Most people are too busy to do much research and are unaware of the cumulative nature of this very serious poison. Once you include it in your drinking water, it then gets incorporated in all foods that use water in the making. Juices and soups are consumed every day by most people, add on toothpaste several times a day and dental polishing and you can end up with formidable amounts of fluoride in your system.
Parents of infants on powdered bay formula are finally being warned not to use fluoridated tap water to mix it. But how many young parents can afford to buy extra water when they already pay a hefty water bill... so tap water is used to the child's detriment, leading to health issues. One such health issue with its myriad complications is low thyroid function. Modern medicine has forgotten that years ago, fluoride was used to lower an overactive thyroid. It does not take rocket science to realize that steady, unremitting, small doses of fluoride on a daily basis will lower the population's thyroid health. The thyroid determines body heat or the lack of it. Normal body temperature used to be 98.6 degrees F. How many people today fall below that unless they are running a low-grade fever?
I applaud Humboldt City Council for their willingness to explore this issue and am confident that if all sources of information are checked, they will conclude, as I have done, to get fluoride out of our water.
