Doctors Call for End of Water Fluoridation
April 24, 2012 - Dr. Karen Kan, MD, is latest to sign Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation at the Fluoride Alert Network.org - she tells about her experience of waking up to the truth about fluoride  http://imacupuncture.com/2012/04/24/doctors-call-for-end-of-water-fluoridation/


October 2009 -- "The State of New York Water Board, who originally supported the public policy of fluoridation based on endorsements, rejected the use of the hydrofluosilicic acid fluoridation chemical without taking any stance on whether or not it might do harm...

"Rather the rejection was based on the Board's inability to confirm the compliance of the product with already established laws and regulations for safe drinking water.

"Ironically, water fluoridation continued for about a month after the Board made their decision.

"The reason for this was because the hydrofluosilicic acid they still had on hand would have to have been disposed of as hazardous waste.  (emphasis added)

"The cost of proper disposal was considered excessive, so they used up their last reserves before discontinuing it.

"It's rather amazing to consider that the hazardous waste facility was more committed to identifying the contents and contaminants of the product before they would accept it for treatment, than water departments are before adding it to our drinking water!"
