We are petitioning the Irish Government. Ireland is the most fluoridated Country on our Earth .We, the thyroid community of Ireland (http://mythyroidireland.webs.com), want to end compulsory water fluoridation in our Country! Ireland's policy of compulsory water Fluoridation is linked to illnesses that cost Irish taxpayers one billion euro a year to treat. Our major concern, is that in concentrations as low as 1ppm fluorides, damage the precious thyroid system. We are now aware fluoride inhibits iodine’s ability to bind with the thyroid gland. This means if we drink water containing fluoride, our thyroid is interrupted and cannot produce enough thyroid hormones, creating thyroid disease. People with hypo and hyperthyroid are known to have a high level of toxicity from water, food, stress, heavy metals, as well as nutritional deficiency, allergies and imbalances. Ingestion of fluoride worsens the toxic overload and imbalance. These are some of the effects of thyroid conditions (often caused by and worsened by fluoride)~ ~~~~ *Hypo- or hyperthyroidism, *Hashimoto’s or Graves’ Disease, *Thyroid loss due to cancer or radiation, *Typical symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, depression, anxiety, hair loss, infertility, etc, *Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, acid reflux, gas, diarrhea or burping, *Fluctuating sugar levels (shaky, moody, unfocused when hungry), *Food cravings, and *Hormonal imbalance (painful PMS, menopause, infertility, Endometriosis)
