Fluoride prescriptions need to be specific to the individual based on their DOCTOR’S assessment and recommendations. Community fluoridation is a blanket prescription that alters an entire ecosystem and does not account for everyone’s needs.
NO to community water fluoridation means health equity for EVERYONE in addition to the health of the environment.
***The needs of infants, unborn children, fish, trees and animals or people with kidney problems, diabetes, compromised immunity, allergies, etc. are not less important than the needs of those with cavities.***
Spokane voters have turned down water fluoridation THREE times. On September 14th, 2020, Spokane City Council voted “yes” to accepting a 4 million dollar grant from Delta Dental’s “Arcora Foundation.” This grant is said to be used to put the infrastructure into place to eventually fluoridate the community water. The details of this agreement were not released to the public, so there is much to this agreement we are completely in the dark about.
They moved forward with this agreement without first receiving approval from their constituents; however, it is likely that the final decision to fluoridate will appear on the ballot after the infrastructure placement is complete. This will take approximately 2 to 4 years. We know that Arcora has hired a PR firm to convince the public of fluoride benefits without addressing any of the environmental issues and issues presented to vulnerable populations.
It is more important than ever to HAVE the difficult conversations with our loved ones, with our friends, with our colleagues, really with everyone. No one can make an informed decision on their ballot without hearing both sides of the story, without hearing about the adverse reactions. Without hearing about the alarming effects of fluoride in infants, animals and the immune compromised.
Did you know that drug companies use fluoride to induce cancer in lab rats before testing their cancer drugs on them?
Did you know that people with diabetes, kidney problems and auto immune diseases are medically advised to not drink fluoridated water?
Did you know that fluoride causes kidney disease in animals?
Did you know that prenatal and infant exposure to fluoride causes reduced IQ and ADHD in children ages 6 - 12?
Did you know that the EPA is currently under federal investigation for approving a neurotoxin in municipal water supplies?

Did you know that City Council accepted the grant WITHOUT proving any of these studies wrong?

I am honestly overwhelmed by the response this has received and I never imagined so many people would join me in this effort. We are almost at one hundred signatures which is a testament to your dedication rather than anything I did. If you can help us reach that mark today we might finally get the attention this issue deserves.

I'm an RN and have researched this extensively. We should NOT be adding a toxic substance to everyone's water. Supplement individually as needed, DON'T force everyone to be exposed to it.
The risks inherent in contaminating one of Spokanes best natural resources far outway any benefits. Floride isn't inherently bad, but it's already in almost all toothpastes, people, children especially, dont need an additional exposure every time they eat, drink, bathe or wash their hands.
I do not use fluoride and neither do my kids. Our teeth are great with our daily brushings and floss. Eat healthy and don't eat/drink to much candy or soda. If you want fluoride, make your own choice with your toothpaste. Don't subject the rest of us to it.
My pets and i dont need any more health issues caused by unwanted flouride added to our water supply! I cant afford to filter my water! Let those who need added flouride get it from their dentists and dont force it on the rest of us who dont need or want it!
As a cancer survivor I am devastated that city council would even consider poisoning our water and sneaking it through as a covid emergency so we can't vote on it..Shame on them!!
Stop chemicals and neurotoxins and are drinking water
No Flouride in our water!

Fluoridation should be a choice. Protecting our aquifers and rivers from toxic waste is vital to our survival. It is not just a health hazard to the immune suppressed, our children and our animals, but to All citizens in a crucial time in history where our immune systems should never be compromised.
