USA - Washington Action for Safe Water to Occupy Seattle Municipal Building
Washington Action for Safe Water to Occupy Seattle Municipal Building Monday at Noon – “Very Concerned about Water Quality”.........Bill Osmunson, Bellevue Dentist, and president of WASW, says: "Seattle adds the cheap, commercial, toxic waste version of fluoride to our water, known as silicofluoride. It is not FDA approved. It is not pharmaceutical grade. It contains lead and arsenic, and it leaches lead from pipes."
On Monday at noon, members of WASW and other safe water groups will occupy the foyer of the Seattle Municipal Building to deliver this press release, hand out fliers, and as a group deliver them to the mayor, city council members, and city attorney.
Osmunson says, “Washington Action for Safe Water is demanding a written response and demanding that this issue be put on the Seattle City Council agenda. All candidates for office are being asked if they will give this issue a fair hearing. We are just demanding that city officials get their heads out of the sand on the lead issue."
According to James Robert Deal, Lynnwood attorney and vice-president of WASW, “In 2004 the Post-Intelligencer reported that tap water in old Seattle schools contained lead at up to 1.6 parts per million, an extremently high level, higher than the fluoride level. Old schools contain brass pipes and fittings which can be from 8% to 30% lead. The Seattle School District admits that much money has been spent replacing pipes, but the lead leaching problem in Seattle schools has not been solved.” According to Deal, “Ending fluoridation would stop most lead leaching and stop the dumbing down of our children.”

According to Dr. Richard Sauerheber, PhD, “Even the NSF, which certifies fluoride, admits that silicofluoride contains arsenic. The California EPA says arsenic is a confirmed human carcinogen. There is no acceptable level of arsenic which may be added to drinking water.”
According to Ossmunson, who also has a degree in public health, “The CDC posts the Beltran study on its web site, which shows that 41% of children age 12-15 suffer from some degree of dental fluorosis, that 8.6% suffer from mild fluorosis (white spots and some brown spots with up to 50% of tooth surfaces affected), and that 3.6% suffer from moderate and severe fluorosis (white spots and brown spots and sometimes pitting and chalky teeth, with up to 100% of tooth surfaces affected).”
Ossmunson says, “The NRC (2006) says 'the major anticaries benefit of fluoride is topical and not systemic.' It makes as much sense to drink fluoride as it would to eat sunscreen.”
Ossmunson adds, “The CDC says 'If your child is exclusively consuming infant formula reconstituted with fluoridated water, there may be an increased chance for mild dental fluorosis. … Infants have a high intake of liquids proportional to body weight.' CDC.Gov – Infant Formula." ..............
