The Kite User ID: 1000725 United States 06/20/2010 04:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It won't be easy. --- Join fact-based associations concerning fluoride. --- Don't even consider entering the realm of "conspiracy theories." There's no need to! Science/facts are your friends and are on your side. And if you can "follow the money", that's also a fact on your side. --- Get organized. Again, only use facts. Google about other other municipalities banning fluoride and try to get in contact those individuals/city council organizers. You'll have to do a lot of work, band together, and show up at meetings to start fighting it. --- Work on who your main speakers will be, people with a good grasp of the issue who won't seem like fools. Come to arguments prepared with answers to all known counter arguments. --- Above all, present your arguments clearly. Graphs help. Here's one that's pretty damning. [link to www.nofluoride.com] * Many other major industrial countries ban fluoride. Why is that? Take a look at Germany. Their teeth are fine. * Fluoride is extremely toxic. Purposely ingesting it is unthinkably senseless. There's a warning on toothpaste with fluoride. * Use arsenic as an analogy. Hypothetically, if arsenic were shown to incrementally help teeth when applied topically, would we then force everyone to ingest in by adding it to the water supply? * Beyond that, no double-blind clinical studies actually exist that even topical use of fluoride helps beyond a fraction of a doubt. Really. Go to Pubmed or Mednar. Try to find one. ... Honestly, I could keep going on & on about this topic but I'm probably preaching to the choir... just remember: when facts are on your side, use them. It's not an NWO/Elite conspiracy to control populations. It is, however, a system based on urban myths, ignorance, and profit predicated on, ironically enough, "helping the children." Awful indeed... at least awareness is growing. [link to www.fluoridealert.org] Last Edited by The Kite on 06/20/2010 04:29 AM |

Quoting: caprichanIt is required by federal law to provide MSDS sheets on any chemicals used in any work enviroment. In many places its even required to provide MSDS shees on the drinking water they provide. If it is Fluoridated water, not only demand they provide the MSDS sheets for the water (which should include information on the fluoride used, if not thats a lawsuite in on its own) but also demand that they provide a specific MSDS sheet on the fluoride from the company that provides the tablets they put in the water supply. |

After you obtain the MSDS sheets from the citys water service, Take those sheets to the next city council meeting along with some well typed and presented research. Do not use unknown .com sources, go to a library and actually get books and do research. Hard print speaks louder to these old folk then digital print. |

They regurgitate all the TPTB arguments in favor of it and grin at you smugly. After all, it is the "Brainpower State". Pfft. |
daisey User ID: 987808 United States 08/07/2010 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Prescription Drugs Found in Fla. Sharks The Ledger | June 4, 2007 SARASOTA - Sharks in one Florida river are getting a dose of human medicine, and now scientists want to know if it's a prescription for trouble. Scientists recently found traces of prescription antidepressants, cholesterol-lowering drugs and synthetic estrogens in the blood of young bull sharks in the Caloosahatchee River on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast. This summer, they'll study the issue more widely. On Friday, scientists with Mote Marine Laboratory fished for bull sharks as part of research to find out what drugs the sharks encounter most and whether the doses are large enough to alter how they behave and reproduce. The sharks come into contact with treated waste water which includes traces of the medications previously identified as the cholesterol-reducer Lipitor, various antidepressants such as Prozac and Zoloft, synthetic estrogens used in birth-control pills, and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Celexa. The Caloosahatchee receives treated wastewater from several sewer plants and passes by numerous septic-system dependent communities. And while the water is treated, and treatment systems are good at removing bacteria, they are not designed to remove drugs, which may have been flushed down the toilet or excreted by humans taking the medications. To get a sense of the effect of drugs on sharks over time, scientists are tagging them with chemical-absorbing discs. The discs will absorb chemicals from the environment and be compared with chemical quantities in the sharks' blood. That will help scientists estimate how well the sharks absorb the chemicals they encounter. "We don't really have a good sense of how much is in the environment and we have certainly very little information on what the impacts are," said Jim Gelsleichter, of the Mote Marine Laboratory, who is leading the study. Bull sharks are a good species to study because young sharks spend a year swimming in brackish waters and therefore come into greater contact with human contaminants, including treated waste water. www.infowars.com/ articles/ science/ pharma_prescription_drugs_found_in_florida_sharks.htm |
