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,
Donna A. Westfall
Crescent City, Calif. 95531
