One last plea for warm-bodied persons living in Polk County to come out and make your voices heard.  We’re meeting to gather our information prior to the public hearing.  This meeting will be held at Designed 4 Healing at 434 S. Springfield Avenue this Thursday, April 29th at 7:00 p.m.   

If you can’t make the meeting, plan to attend the public hearing on Tuesday, May 4th at 6:30 at Bolivar City Hall.  If you won’t be able to make it to the public hearing, but want your voice heard, stop by and sign a brief letter stating your opposition to fluoride in the water.  

Did you know?

Bolivar’s Source of Fluoride
Bolivar’s fluoride comes from the Solvay Chemical Company in Houston, Texas.    It is untreated hydrofluosilicic acid waste from the phosphate fertilizer mining industry that has not been tested, much less been proven safe or effective.  It is unlawful to dispose of in any ocean, river, stream, spew into the air or dump on the ground, yet it is sold to add to our drinking water.  NOTE:  The EPA would make them pay to have it removed. 

Components of Bolivar’s Fluoride
The fluoride used is not naturally occurring  sodium fluoride rather it is hydrofluosilicic acid (HFSA).  It is contaminated with arsenic, lead, and cadmium.  Generally, you would need to add 6.9 ppm HFSA in order to obtain 1 ppm fluoride.

Increased Lead Levels are showing up in children even though we’ve eliminated much of their exposure.  Could the source be hydrofluosilicic acid?   Fluoridation increases the amount of lead in water by leaching lead from plumbing fittings.  According to Dr. Robert Carton, an EPA scientist, when the cities of Seattle, Washington and Thermont, Maryland stopped fluoridating their water, lead levels dropped by fifty percent.    

Help to stop this atrocity in our community!  Adolf Hitler said “The great mass of people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one. ”   I believe the people have fallen victim to a “big lie”.

I have looked for a long time to find a holistic dentist near the Bolivar area.  The closest one has been in St. Louis.  Finally, I found one in Clinton, Missouri (approx. 1 hour north).  I’ve made an appointment for my daughter on Wednesday of this week and I’ll let you know what I think, but it has to be better then anything we’ve experienced so far.  He practices mercury-free and fluoride-free.

We need your help to stop fluoridation of Bolivar’s water.   If you think fluroide is good for you, please check it out.  There are some good books on the subject and much information on the internet to find out the real story. 

According to the Safe Water Act of 1974, municipalites are required to provide “safe” drinking water.    Fluroide DOES NOT assist in the safety of the drinking water.   Despite being prescribed by doctors for over 50 years, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has never approved any fluoride product designed for ingestion as safe or effective.  Even the ADA has recommended that infants should not ingest fluoride.

What can you do to help?

1. Go to the Bolivar Herald online article and make your comments.  This would be a good thing to print out for the Aldermen.  They want to know what people are thinking.

2.  Plan to attend the Public Hearing on May 4th at 6:30 p.m. at Bolivar City Hall across from the post office.

3. Inform your friends and neighbors.  We have got to get the word out as we are allowing infants and pregnant women of Bolivar to drink this toxic water.

4. Plan to attend a citizens action meeting on Thursday, April 15th at Designed 4 Healing, 434 S. Springfield Avenue (next to Sonic).   Call Rebecca Still at 417-777-1800 if you need further information.  We need your help.

5. Put this post or your own on Facebook…Twitter…etc.  However you can get the word out.
