USA - Schoeffler helped make the case against fluoride
One major contribution to Lafayette's well-being was overlooked in listing reasons why Harold Schoeffler was given the "Living Legend" award. Everyone who bathes in or drinks Lafayette's water should be mindful of Schoeffler's role as leader of the Sierra Club.
Dr. Jim Reeves was invited to speak to the Sierra Club in February 2009. Reeves, as a UL dean of engineering, has been opposing fluoridation of municipal water for 20 years. Reeves was joined by D. Paul Connett from St. Lawrence University in New York. In their visit with the Lafayette City-Parish Council one night in April 2009, the council members voted, 8-1, to reject Louisiana's mandatory fluoridation law passed in 2008. Every time we drink or bathe in local water, we might feel gratitude for the action of Reeves, Connett and not least, Harold Schoeffler for making their appearance possible.
"Fluoride" is actually a toxic waste and known neurotoxin that affects brain development, causes thyroid problems and causes brittle bones in later years. Cancer levels are higher in areas where fluoride is in the water. The American Dental Association issued a warning in November 2006 telling parents not to prepare infant formula with water containing fluoride. Breast milk contains 200 times less fluoride than "safe levels."
Sodium fluoride comes in bags clearly marked with skull and bones and "toxic." It is too deadly for ocean or river dumping but blindly put into our water supply.
Along with the medical cost, each bag of "fluoride" costs over $800. If Lousiana's budget is $100 million in the red (The Advocate, Oct. 6, 2010) why throw money into a project that adds more toxicity to our daily lives?
Louisiana could become the first state in the U.S. to enact legislation that bans fluoride completely.
