He made reference to a September ruling from a judge that ordered the EPA to address fluoridation concerns.

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that former President Donald Trump will seek to end public water fluoridation if he’s elected president.

“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy, who Trump said will be part of his administration if he wins on Nov. 5, wrote in a post on social media platform X over the weekend.

Kennedy then made reference to a landmark September ruling from a U.S. district judge who directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address concerns about whether fluoridation can lead to lower IQ in children. The American Dental Association and related medical groups said they disagreed with the ruling and repeated their recommendation that fluoride be added to drinking water supplies.

“Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” Kennedy wrote on X. Continue reading →

Since 1945, fluoride has been added to public drinking water supplies, but research has shown it may pose risks to our health.

When Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first city to add fluoride to its water supply in 1945, the decision was hailed as a major public health innovation aimed at preventing cavities. Many other cities quickly followed suit, and water fluoridation became a widespread practice nationwide. Continue reading →

The idea of “too much of a good thing” can even apply to oral health, a government study finds.

Fluoride has been an ally in the fight against bad teeth since 1945.

However, some pregnant women and children may be getting more fluoride than they need because they’re getting it from so many sources, according to a review of published scientific literature by the National Toxicology Program.

In addition to public drinking water, fluoride can be found in water-added foods and beverages, teas, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. Continue reading →

With fluoride in so many dental products, some say adding it to drinking water is no longer necessary. But health experts worry that like vaccines, fluoridation may be a victim of its own success.

MONROE, N.C. — Regina Barrett, a 69-year-old retiree who lives in this small North Carolina city southeast of Charlotte, has not been happy with her tap water for a while.

“Our water has been cloudy and bubbly and looks milky,” said Barrett, who blames fluoride, a mineral that communities across the nation have for decades added to the water supply to help prevent cavities and improve dental health.

“I don’t want fluoride in my nothing!” said Barrett, echoing a growing number of people who not only doubt the mineral’s effectiveness but also believe it may be harmful despite decades of data pointing to public health and economic benefits. Continue reading →

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has found that tap water in at least 31 states is contaminated with arsenic at levels above the legal limit.

While much attention as of late is focused on PFAS “forever chemicals” in the water supply, it cannot be overlooked that arsenic, a metal naturally found in the earth’s crust, is also problematic.

Particularly in the American Southwest, arsenic-contaminated water is a serious issue that is only being made worse by pesticide use on crops and industrial processes like cement manufacturing, both of which leave behind toxic residues in groundwater used for drinking. Continue reading →

A November 2016 petition filed with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) brought light to the negative health effects associated with water fluoridation. The petition called on the EPA to “protect the public and susceptible subpopulations from the neurotoxic risks of fluoride by banning the addition of fluoridation chemicals to water.”

For decades, municipal water sources have been “medicated” with fluoride (and arsenic) byproducts. This decades-long medical experiment is intended to prevent tooth decay in the general population, but this mass experiment comes with its own set of health risks and completely bypasses the informed consent principle.

Editor’s NOTEs: Having been introduced to Dr. William D. Kelley in early 1998, amongst the first things he discussed with me, was the toxic nature of fluoride, and how he had become aware of its dangers. Following is among the most devastating health related issues of the past 60 years – yet as recently witnessed in many communities around the nation, our elected “mis-representatives” continue to make decisions “for” us without benefit of the TRUTH!

The following article exposes the biggest on-going medical experiment ever carried out by the United States Government on an unsuspecting population.

Although commissioned by the Christian Science Monitor in early Spring of 1997, they chose not to publish the findings. I became aware of its existence sometime in late 1999 or early 2000, and have provided it a to variety of readers on numerous web-sites, which I have been associated with. (Ed.) Continue reading →

Like water we need magnesium everyday. There is an eternal need for magnesium as well as water and when magnesium is present in water life and health are enhanced.

A dear Fried brought me a book about water. He said, “Why haven’t you written about water? I didn’t have an answer for him. So he loaned me the book to read. It is named “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water.” It is written by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj.

Dr. Batmanghelidj starts the book off by saying, “The greatest tragedy in medical history is the fact that medical professionals have not understood the human body’s many calls for water.” They have traditionally resorted to using chemicals and “procedures” to deal with chronic dehydration of the body. He also states that very sick persons with a history of major diseases and under medical supervision, particularly those with severe renal disease, must not use any information in the book without the supervision of their attending physician.

Dr. Batmanghelidj goes on to ask a very important question. “Why hasn’t the national Institute of Health (NIH), the most advanced center of medical research in the world, failed society by not studying the medical effects and benefits of water?” He indicated his reasons for contacting the NIH and affiliates was that dehydration of the body cells is the cause of many degenerative diseases in the human body. The answer was that his views were so broad-based that they did not fit into the way the research institution functions. Continue reading →

Satisfying water quality standards is not a guarantee that your tap water is safe for drinking.

A recent study published in Heliyon links more than 100,000 future cancer cases in the U.S. to chemical pollutants in thousands of community water systems. The concentration of these pollutants in water systems is in the range considered legal, according to researchers from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit research and advocacy organization based in Washington. Continue reading →

For over 60 years, governments have been adding fluoride to drinking water supplies all over the world. Since then, we’ve seen a dramatic reduction over time as communities all over the world have come together to stop water fluoridation within their communities. Examples in Europe include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, 90 percent of the UK, Spain, Scotland, Norway, Switzerland and many more. It’s become more obvious everyday that industrial byproducts do not belong in our water. Continue reading →

Water fluoridation is the deliberate addition of a substance containing, or yielding, fluoride (that is, in the form of the free fluoride ion) to the public water supply with the ostensible aim of reducing tooth decay. The concentrations of fluoride used for this purpose in the U.S. range from 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water (0.7-1.2 parts per million or ppm). When the practice began in the U.S. and Canada in 1945 there were no published studies available which demonstrated that consuming fluoride at these levels was safe.

Without any formal study, it was assumed that because some people in some places had consumed natural fluoride levels higher than 1 ppm for many years, with no “apparent” harm recorded, adding fluoride to water would be safe. Continue reading →
