I have a thyroid condition so drinking fluoridated water harms me. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired and having my thyroid jacked around by incidental fluoride exposure, so I can no longer eat at Crescent City restaurants because the food and beverages are prepared using fluoridated water. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis.. This condition makes my bones weak and I’ve afraid of a break. Peoples bones get so weak they break from just stepping down stairs

I can’t begin to tell you the disgust I feel towards the city council who refused to act on this years ago.

I’m going through all of this because kids, who are already suffering from overexposure to the toxic waste we buy, with a skull and cross bones on the label I might add, won’t get cavities? This is absolutely absurd! Why isn’t my health more important than kids cavities???

This city council is medicating the water supply without my informed consent. At Rite Aid they give me a paper that tells me how to take a drug, what the dose is I’m taking and what chemicals are in the drug and to notify my Dr. immediately if I’m having a reaction.

Well Mayor Murray, and Councilmembers Ms. Schelong, Mr. Enea and Mr. Holly. if the council had to pay for all my medical bills and the injuries they are causing my body with their own money, I bet things would be different. They do not have a clue on how to administer this drug.

And thank you Councilwoman Donna Westfall from my brittle bones to my ailing thyroid for trying to educate those who are unaware of the damage this can do to your body if not taken as your physician prescribes. I avoid fluoridated water at all cost and when I buy groceries I buy organic produce. But avoiding it when I go out to eat is harder. I don’t know how to order a fluoride free meal from a menu, so I guess I just have to stop eating out in Crescent City .

Starbuck’s is one place I know that filters water to take the fluoride out. If other restaurants did this they would get my business back, but until then if I want to go out to eat I have to drive to Brookings because they don’t put fluoride in their water.
