Is Safe Drinking Water Really a Priority With Government Agencies?
Truly-safe drinking water has never really been a priority when it comes to government agencies. Safe, clean drinking water is extremely important to the residents of Arkansas, and that is why Secure Arkansas supports water additive accountability legislation NOW!
We would like to share with you an example of an important petition that was filed in June 2014 with the EPA by Richard Sauerheber, Ph.D., Palomar College, San Marcos, California. It was after sending at least 36 letters to the FDA that this doctor decided to file a petition, and once again, the government wasn’t listening.
Click here to read information that supported Dr. Sauerheber’s petition to ban the addition of industrial synthetic fluoride compounds, sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, and sodium fluorosilicate into U.S. public drinking water supplies as an oral ingestible added for the purpose of whole body fluoridation to treat dental caries (petition #FDA2007-P-046). The chemicals added to our drinking water are not composed of naturally-occuring calcium fluoride; they are the synthetic hazardous waste of the phosphate fertilizer industry.
Excerpts:
-
“Although it is illegal to intentionally add these contaminants into public water or food (being EPA recognized contaminants and certainly food/beverage contaminants), the EPA does not halt the use of this material intended for ingestion.”
-
“Fluosilicic acid materials directly add lead into the water reported by Mullenix typically in the range 0.6 to 1.1 ppb [parts per billion].” (bracketed information ours)
-
As pointed out by renowned toxicologist, Phyllis Mullenix, in her article, “it is necessary to halt all fluoridation infusions in such cities because the EPA MCL [Maximum Contaminant Level] is already occasionally exceeded for unknown reasons. Lead and arsenic levels measured in fluosilicic acid both vary between batches. They are always present in this source material, but are never present in sodium fluoride used for fluoridation.” Phyllis Mullenix concluded her published study by stating: “Such contaminant contents creates a regulatory blind spot that jeopardizes any safe use of fluoride additive.”
(bracketed information ours)
-
“Fluoridation in any city must be halted if the level in water causes [contaminants] to exceed the EPA MCL, or if the MCL [Maximum Contaminant Level] is occasionally already exceeded, particularly since batches are not tested prior to formulation. The FDA requires routine testing of contaminants in all drugs and ingestible ingredients in the U.S.” (bracketed information ours)
-
“Current EPA administrators are not capable of properly regulating ‘water fluoridation’ intended for health purposes. It is the total contaminant concentration that must not exceed the MCL in the final product being ingested. It is not simply the contaminant concentration directly added by a water district (that adds to that from other sources). Further, what is most important is the level that is present just prior to ingestion and the total daily dosage ingested, not the concentration at the facility where the fluoridation material is initially added before transport to consumers through municipal systems. The EPA attempts to authorize certification of these materials to the NSF [National Sanitation Foundation], who merely stamps the materials as “safe” for human ingestion as long as the amount after dilution from the materials is below the MCL, without regard for the contaminants already present in the water supply to be treated. And without consideration of transport systems used after the final diluted formulation is prepared. This is improper formulation practice for drugs, supplements, and dietary ingredients.”
(highlighted and bracketed information ours)
The above information sums up why we all need to support water additive accountability legislation… and why we need to repeal Act 197 (state-forced water fluoridation)! Act 197 took away OUR freedom of choice regarding what a person chooses to ingest, and it put the safety of all public water supply consumers at risk!
The legislators should be listening to their constituents and not to the government agencies, special interest groups, or lobbying groups which are only representing corporate America’s bottom line.
So, get busy contacting your legislators if you expect any action in 2015. This is a critical issue for this legislative session! We can’t wait two more years for our legislators to take action to support the wishes of the people of Arkansas.
