CLEAN WATER CLARKSBURG: UNITE TO HALT WATER FLUORIDATION IN WV
By signing below, we agree that the FLUOROSILICIC ACID that is currently in our public water supply should be REMOVED FROM OUR WATER. We understand that the ingestion of fluoride does not reduce the incidence of cavities, is an unauthorized drug given to us, & we the citizens of Harrison County, WV hereby demand that it be taken out of our water supply. (All towns in Harrison Co., except for Shinnston & Lumberport, have Clarksburg Water supplying them.)
Why is this important?
After 50+ years of fluorosilicic acid being added to our water supply, our citizens have paid the consequences. Many have dental fluorosis, gum disease, IQ deficiencies, genetic defects, increase uptake of lead, thyroid dysfunction, tooth and bone damage, and even bone cancer. We have the opportunity to turn this around, and remove this from our water supply. Ingestion of fluoride has never been proven to reduce the incidence of cavities, only topically has there shown results. We do not want so called "experts" such as the CDC, Bureau for Public Health, and American Dental Association to push us around any longer with their hidden agendas. The truth has been exposed. Despite fluoridation, WV still consistently ranks no. 1 in poor oral health in the nation. WHEN IN DOUBT, GET IT OUT!!
