An Unprecedented Lawsuit Could End Water Fluoridation in the US - Based on Neurotoxicity Studies.
I have long followed the progress of the 'Fluoride Action Network' as they fought long and hard to expose the insanity of the mass fluoridation (using un-measured dosing) that is being imposed on so many of us (against all accepted agreements regarding medical ethics). They often produce data and studies that we all should really pay attention to - since, well, fluoride is a NEUROTOXIN and can cause numerous serious dysfunctions in the body - even at low doses - due to it's cumulative effects.
This time they appear to be really doing some great work, by forcing the cases against water fluoridation to be heard in court for the first time.
The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), along with a coalition of environmental and public health groups has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to their denial of our petition under Section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) seeking a ban on water fluoridation.
*We believe this lawsuit is an unprecedented opportunity to end the practice once and for all in the U.S., and potentially throughout the world, based on the well-documented neurotoxicity of fluoride. You may read the official complaint here.
According to FAN’s attorney and adviser, Michael Connett:
“This case will present the first time a court will consider the neurotoxicity of fluoride and the question of whether fluoridation presents an unreasonable risk under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
And, in contrast to most other legal challenges of Agency actions, TSCA gives us the right to get the federal court to consider our evidence ‘de novo’ — meaning federal courts are to conduct their own independent review of the evidence without deference to the EPA's judgment.”
On November 22, 2016, a coalition including FAN, Food & Water Watch, Organic Consumers Association, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, Moms Against Fluoridation and several individual mothers, filed a petition calling on the EPA to ban the deliberate addition of fluoridating chemicals to the drinking water under provisions in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
The petition includes more than 2,500 pages of scientific documentation detailing the risks of water fluoridation to human health. The full petition can be accessed here, a shorter eight-page summary here and the press release here.
The source of the full version of the statement from FAN can be read here.
Fluoride: Background information
For those who are unaware, there are many in-depth documentaries about fluoridation with do a very good job of exposing the major problems to health caused by fluoridation. I will drop some of them here for you now:
Water treatment specialists, medical educators and other professionals expose how they had been misled about Fluoride during their training and share what they now know

This is awesome news! Here's a really good one by James Corbett:
thanks - i had not seen that one before.
Nice post - thank you. Let's hope the lawsuit is successful.
The link below goes to additional information, described as:
"The following article was commissioned by the Christian Science Monitor in the spring of 1997. Despite much favorable comment from editors, and full documentation, the story remains unpublished by the Monitor. By any yardstick, this report was an award-winning scoop for any national paper. The report offers a glimpse into the history of fluoride, a bio-accumulative toxic that Americans ingest every day. The authors, Griffiths and Bryson, spent more than a year on research. With the belief that the information should be withheld no longer, the authors gave their report to Waste Not, and others, with a short note: 'use as you wish.'”

good link, thanks - that information is also available in the some of the videos in the fluoride katalist at ureka, for those who prefer video.
