PRESS RELEASE: <br /> EVERETT HALTS FLUORIDATION <br /> DENTIST, ATTORNEYS, AND SAFE WATER GROUPS <br /> URGE EVERETT NOT TO RESTART <br /> March 7, 2012 <br /> Summary: <br /> Everett Utilities turned off the fluoride on February 9. <br /> Hydrogen fluoride - HF - had weakened the CPVC pipes in the <br /> fluoridation building to the point where they had lost their integrity and <br /> were leaking HF. HF also known as hydrofluoric acid, is among the most <br /> poisonous and penetrating of all substances. <br /> Everett sells water to some 700,000 people from Marysville to Edmonds. <br /> The fluoridation building sits on one corner of the treatment plant, which <br /> is located north of Sultan at Lake Chaplain. The fluoride will be off until <br /> pipes and control systems can be replaced. <br /> Dentist Bill Osmunson, attorneys James Robert Deal and Gerald Steel, <br /> Fluoride-Class-Action, and Washington Action for Safe Water are urging <br /> Everett not to restart fluoridation without first holding hearings <br /> regarding the safety and effectiveness of the industrial grade fluoridation <br /> materials used. <br /> See http://fluoride-class-action.com/press-releases for the latest version <br /> of this press release and to make it easier to follow hyperlinks. <br /> Primary contact person: James Robert Deal, 425-771-1110, <br /> James@Fluoride-Class-Action.corn. <br /> Dr. Bill Osmunson, DDS, MPH, says: <br /> The industrial grade silicofluoride added to our water slowly harm us all. <br /> However, I choose to focus first on infants and fetuses. They are hurt the <br /> most and the quickest. <br /> The type of fluoride used contains lead and arsenic. Arsenic is a type one <br /> confirmed human carcinogen. Lead is only slightly less toxic. They both <br /> permeate every cell in the body. There is no amount of arsenic or lead <br /> which we can safely add to drinking water. <br /> Infants and fetuses are most vulnerable because their cells are still <br /> dividing and because their kidneys are undeveloped and cannot excrete <br /> 1 <br />
