The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CANNOT be trusted.

Government Safety Regulations Lag Behind Science

In the above table — at the time each substance was introduced — the public was told they were safe. It wasn’t until decades later that the substances were banned by the government for health reasons. How long is it going to take and how many deaths will occur before CDC and the Health Departments wake up and ban fluoride?

Seems to us that the CDC, EPA, and FDA have NO concern for people’s health! They refuse to allow science to guide them. A great many of our doctors/scientists have been fired, suppressed, or terribly underfunded while trying to expose the atrocities perpetrated on mankind.

CDC Foundation

Quoted from CDC Foundation website: “Most CDC Foundation projects begin with an exploratory conversation, originating either with experts at CDC or with representatives of potential funding organizations. CDC Foundation advancement staff help guide the conversation toward areas of mutual interests.”

The organizations that partner with the CDC Foundation often do it to advance their corporate agenda and to help CDC to move faster… Therefore, a lot of money is fed into the CDC to promote the corporate agenda.

CDC Foundation IRS 990 Tax filing for 2013  Total Assets $85,430,998.

President & CEO Charles Stokes – Total compensation for 2013 is $445,522

The CDC Foundation helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do more faster, by forging effective partnerships between CDC and others to fight threats to health and safety.

Conflicts of Interest Have Corrupted the CDC

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) receives heavy funding from industry through the CDC Foundation!  This supposedly governmental agency — the CDC — is listed in Dunn & Bradstreet as a FOR-profit corporation.  It’s also been exposed as a private corporation colluding with Big Pharma. CDC has a direct conflict of interest due to its connection to the CDC Foundation.

Do you think that CDC is Protecting the Private Good Rather Than the Public?

When confronted about the discrepancy between the CDC’s public disclaimer and the reality that corporate funding is flowing into the organization, Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, responded, saying:

“Public-private partnerships allow CDC to do more, faster. The agency’s core values of accountability, respect, and integrity guide the way CDC spends the funds entrusted to it.

When possible conflicts of interests arise, we take a hard, close look to ensure that proper policies and guidelines are followed before accepting outside donations.”

In other words, the CDC believes and “assures” you that it has the moral backbone to do the right thing, despite the fact that studies have revealed that moral fiber tends to significantly deteriorate as soon as a funding source with an agenda starts doling out money.

Moreover, a 2009 investigation by the Office of the Inspector General concluded the CDC has “a systemic lack of oversight of the ethics program,” noting 97% of disclosure forms filed by the organization’s advisors were incomplete, and 13% of advisors didn’t file one.

There is plenty of money out there, and the government is bleeding us dry through all the different types of taxes!  They are also enabling coalitions and non-government organizations (NGO’s) to be formed under 501(c)3’s! Through the years, a profusion of abuse of funds have incurred. NGO’s have been famous for funneling money through their organizations, so if you want to follow the money, you should check there. Coalitions, 501(c)3’s, and 501(c)4’s are just places to start looking because there needs to be more transparency within that corporate community.

(Like the coalitions that have formed here in Arkansas under Lynn and Sip Mouden.)

(To be explored further in a later article… )

Beware of Fraud in Nonprofit Organizations.

Many 501(c)3’s are scams, and many of their CEOs and officers receive six-digit salaries. You have to ask yourself:  how can these organizations ask people to contribute $20 a month or so to pay their executives $400,000 and more a year? From where does the rest of the money come? Based on the evidence presented in this document with the 990 IRS filings, it appears that the whole 501(c)3 non-profit business model is a fraudulent scam sanctioned by the government. That’s not to say that all groups that are operating under a 501(c)3 are evil, but it does mean that the 501(c)3 itself is ripe for abuse.

Some of the most unethical organizations in America are charities, especially the organizations involved with government grants and health care/dental care. Some of these 501(c)3 organizations in Arkansas are:

• Delta Dental Plan of Arkansas - Transferred $3,433,301 to Delta Dental Foundation of Arkansas. It appears that Delta Dental Plan may be charging their customers too much for their dental policies.

• Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation This is the foundation where the grant money comes from for the start up funds for water fluoridation. Delta Dental should be providing better services to their policyholders or cutting their premiums instead of wasting the funds on water fluoridation.

• Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH)  

• Arkansas Oral Health Coalition  Incorporator/Organizer Lynn Mouden (former Director of Office of Oral Health Arkansas Department of Health. Lynn Mouden is currently the Chief Dental Officer of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.  The Coalition has over 40 members and meets monthly except in December to coordinate and support oral health activities. One  of the projects the coalition overtook was lobbying for the passage of Act 197 of 2011.  It appears that Lynn Mouden the Incorporator/Organizer of the Arkansas Oral Health Coalition used his position as Director of the Office of Oral Health ADH to lobby the legislators into passing  SB359/Act197.

Under the Arkansas Community Health Centers Program, the Community Health Centers of Arkansas (CHCA) are funded which consist of 12 separate organizations (all organized under 501(c)3). The CHCA is governed by a board of directors composed of one director from each organizational member of CHCA.                             

Community Health Center of Arkansas    119 S Izard St. Little Rock, AR 72201  (501) 374-8225            

The following 12 health care centers (all 501(c) 3 organizations) come under the control of Community Health Center of which Sip B. Mouden was the Chief Executive Officer (wife of Lynn Mouden – former Oral Health Director). 

• ARcare,  Augusta, AR 72006 (870) 347-2534

• Boston Mountain Rural Health Center, Inc.,  Marshall, AR 72650 (870) 448-3796

• CABUN Rural Health Services, Inc.,  Hampton, AR 71744 (870) 798-4064             

• Community Clinic NWA, Springdale, AR 72764 (479) 751-7417                     

• 1st Choice Healthcare formerly Corning Area Healthcare, Inc., Corning, AR 72422 (870) 857-3399

• East Arkansas Family Health Center, Inc., West Memphis, AR 72301 (870) 735-3842         

• Healthy Connections, Inc., Mena, AR 71953 (479) 437-3449

• Jefferson Comprehensive Care System, Inc. Pine Bluff, AR 71613 (870) 543-2380

• Lee County Cooperative Clinic, Inc., Marianna, AR 72360 (870) 295-5225

• Mainline Health Systems, Inc., Dermott, AR 71638 (870) 538-5414

• Mid-Delta Health Systems, Inc. , Clarendon, AR 72029 (870) 747-3381

• River Valley Primary Care Services, Inc., Ratcliff, AR 72951 (479) 635-5300    

Big charities pay big salaries, and it seems that most 501(c)3 organizations use their status as a license to steal money that comes into their association/institution. An organization is basically an organized body of people with a particular purpose, especially a society, business, association, or institution.  This includes 501(c)3 organizations and groups. Many 501(c)3 groups are aligned with other 501(c)3 groups, and they give to each other, and that is the way the money is laundered. Also, many of these groups wire transfer money to other organizations in foreign countries! Most 501(c)3 groups have a hidden agenda that they want to advance, and that’s the agenda of the organization.

Hopefully from some of Secure Arkansas’ past articles, the reader should be able to piece together the agenda toward which the medical and dental organizations are marching.  

Don’t think for a minute that the Arkansas Department of Health shares your same health concerns. They don’t! It seems that they have abandoned us in favor of the private corporations/ industries/ foundations/ institutions that dole out the money. It appears that the government has dismissed all the dangers of fluoride and left corporations/ industry free to pollute and dump toxic industrial waste fluoride into our drinking water!  

There are a lot of things occurring within the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) concerning the misrepresented fluoride study/survey that can’t be located.  Just recently, the ADH released an incomplete 50-page report entitled “Perry County Hometown Health Advocate Team” (HHAT). Based on that report, a 21-item FOIA request was sent to ADH which is attached below. Most of the items requested could not be produced. If the 50-page report was true and accurate, then why can’t the ADH produce the raw data to support the report? Without the original raw data that has not been subjected to adjustment, a report cannot be properly validated! The officers and committee members of the Perry County HHAT Team can by found by clicking this old newsletter here and scrolling down to page 8. We would also like to remind the reader that the Arkansas Secretary of State could not find on record that the Perry County HHAT Coalition is registered as a 501(c)3.  (Here’s a link to a past article in which we mentioned the Perry County HHAT.)

From the incomplete 50-page report from ADH, Secure Arkansas put together a 21-item FOIA request that was sent to ADH. Attached below is Secure Arkansas’ FOIA request with the answers from ADH in bright yellow highlight and the comments from Secure Arkansas in RED font.  Please note that ADH NEVER provided the RAW data requested by the FOIA request. The RAW data was necessary to substantiate the charts published by Lynn Mouden of Oral Health ADH. The numbers simply do NOT add up, and the data for Morrilton Elementary is very insufficient.

Be sure to look very carefully at our FOIA request and the ADH reply.

Dear Mr. Rogers,

Per the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act 93 of 1967, I am requesting the following information:

1) Provide a copy of the dental screening request made by Perry County Hometown Health Coalition to the Arkansas Department of Health, Office of Oral Health in 2002. We cannot locate.

2) Provide a copy of the response sent from the Arkansas Department of Health, Office of Oral Health, to Perry County Hometown Health Coalition concerning the dental screening request.  We cannot locate.

3) Provide a copy of the dental screening request made by any school in Morrilton, Arkansas   to the Arkansas Department of Health, Office of Oral Health, in 2002. We cannot locate.

4) Provide a copy of the response sent from the Arkansas Department of Health, Office of Oral Health, to the Morrilton, Arkansas school  concerning the dental screening request. We cannot locate.

The source information leading to the above request was derived from a report put out by Arkansas Department of Health titled “Oral Health in Arkansas: The Facts“.  The following quote is from page 2 of that report:

“Two separate but parallel studies were conducted in Morrilton and Perry County, Arkansas. The data from these neighboring communities, on opposite sides of the Arkansas River, vividly showcase the efficacy of water fluoridation. In January of 2002, elementary school students in Perryville, Casa and Ann Watson schools received dental screenings at the request of the Perry County Hometown Health Coalition. In October of 2002, all kindergarten students from the City of Morrilton also received a dental screening at the request of the school. Comparing the data from fluoridated Morrilton to the data on the same age students in Perry County showed twice the decay rate for non-fluoridated Perry County children.4“

Strange things are happening in Perry County. Remember:  this is where the some of the mysterious dental screening tests were supposedly conducted at Perryville Elementary School, Anne Watson Elementary School, and Casa Elementary School. Both dentists have moved on since the controversial study/survey was supposedly conducted. They are either covering up the raw data supposedly submitted to the ADH or are hiding it. Lynn Mouden, DDS and James Price, DDS are no longer residents in the state of Arkansas.

Once again, Secure Arkansas is giving an open request to the Arkansas Department of Health for the raw data Lynn Mouden, DDS collected from Perry County and Conway County, Arkansas.

The building that houses the Perry County Dental Clinic also houses Perry County Pain Relief. The corporate name of the owner of the building is Horseshoe Mountain Farms LLC which shows the Incorporator/Organizer as L. Tray Ott and the Registered Agent as Chris Watson, 331 Hwy 225 N, Greenbrier, AR 72058.

James R. Price DDS was with the Perry County Dental Clinic in Perryville, Arkansas. This clinic is not operational any longer. We now find that James R. Price is operating as a dentist in Georgia, and his work address is 573 Concord Road, Suite D, Smyrna, Georgia. Price has just recently renewed his dental license with Arkansas, and it will expire on 12/31/2017. This license shows his home address at 4515 Stratford Drive, Douglasville, GA 30135.

James R. Price now has the following businesses:

James R. Price, D.D.S. P.C. (last annual business registry with the Georgia Secretary Of State)

Jeff Stone, Engineer of the ADH admits in their  Fall 2014 “Arkansas Drinking Water Update” newsletter that NSF 60 (National Sanitation Foundation) regulations aren’t being followed. His direct statement is: “Also, most product offerings are not certified according to NSF Standard 60. The NSF Standard 60 certification is necessary in order to ensure that no contaminants are present in the product that would pose a threat to consumers drinking the disinfected water. NSF Standard 60 certification of all chemicals utilized in drinking water treatment, including chlorine bleach, is required by the Arkansas Department of Health’s Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Public Water Systems.”

Click here to read the NSF Fact Sheet on Fluoridation Chemicals.

The delivered fluoride products are not meeting the NSF 60 Standards. Please note that the suppliers of the fluoride products are not following the NSF 60 standards.

Since the Arkansas Department of Health will NOT enforce NSF 60 Standards for fluoride, the water operator MUST include the following in all their bids for any and all future fluoride products.

Reiterating that in a different way:  the supplier of the fluoride product must comply and accept the terms of this bid prior to any fluoride bid being accepted or rejected:

1.) Provide the toxicological report of the fluoride product to be provided.

2.) Provide a  listing of contaminants in the fluoride product to be provided.

3.) Provide proof that the fluoride product to be provided is safe for all water consumers, infants to seniors.

4.) The fluoride supplier must pay for the cost of an on-site chemical analysis which must be performed by an independent party. The on-site analysis must match the “Certificate of Analysis” that is supplied with the fluoride product shipped to site.

Every fluoride shipment must include a “Certificate of Analysis”  with each and every fluoride shipment to the water district facilities.

Attention Water Districts/Water Operators:  If any of the above four items cannot be followed by the supplier, you must refuse to accept their fluoride product!

CDC has turned their job of certification of fluoride chemicals over to a private company NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation Foundation). CDC and the Arkansas Department of Health is not following through to make sure that the fluoride product is safe for all humans from birth to death.

Click here for the NSF Fact Sheet on Fluoridation Chemicals

NSF Standard 60

Standard 60 was developed to establish minimum requirements for the control of potential adverse human health effects from products added directly to water during its treatment, storage, and distribution. The standard requires a full formulation disclosure of each chemical ingredient in a product. It also requires a toxicology review to determine that the product is safe at its maximum use level and to evaluate potential contaminants in the product. The standard requires testing of the treatment chemical products, typically by dosing these in water at 10 times the maximum use level, so that trace levels of contaminants can be detected. A toxicology evaluation of test results is required to determine if any contaminant concentrations have the potential to cause adverse human health effects. …

NSF Certification

NSF also developed a testing and certification program for these products, so that individual U.S. states and waterworks facilities would have a mechanism to determine which products were appropriate for use. The certification program requires annual unannounced inspections of production and distribution facilities to ensure that the products are properly formulated, packaged, and transported with safeguards against potential contamination. NSF also requires annual testing and toxicological evaluation of each NSF Certified product. NSF Certified products have the NSF Mark, the maximum use level, lot number or date code, and production location on the product packaging or documentation shipped with the product.

The use of this standard and the associated certification program have yielded benefits in ensuring that drinking water additives meet the health objectives that provide the basis for public health protection.

NSF Potential Contaminants

The NSF toxicology review for a chemical product considers all chemical ingredients in the product as well as the manufacturing process, processing aids, and other factors that have an impact on the contaminants present in the finished drinking water. This formulation review identifies all the contaminants that need to be analyzed in testing the product. For example, fluosilicic acid is produced by adding sulfuric acid to phosphate ore. This is typically done during the production of phosphate additives for agricultural fertilizers. The manufacturing process is documented by an NSF inspector at an initial audit of the manufacturing site and during each annual unannounced inspection of the facility. The manufacturing process, ingredients, and potential contaminants are reviewed annually by NSF toxicologists, and the product is tested for any potential contaminants. A minimum test battery for all fluoridation products includes metals of toxicological concern and radionuclides.        

The Arkansas Department of Health requires Water Districts to follow NSF/ANSI standard 60 and has confirmed that the NSF information for certification should be supplied by the supplier of the chemicals. But the fluoridation chemical suppliers won’t provide this, even though water operators have asked for them repeatedly.  *The Water Operators need to force this issue by including this requirement in their fluoride bid. See the example above.

NSF 60 document entitled “NSF 60 Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals – Health Effects” that for fluoridation products to receive the NSF/ANSI Standard 60 mark of approval, they must be subjected to toxicological “studies”, “toxicity studies”, “assays”, and “testing” of many types. Further, NSF represents that it requires “toxicology review to determine that the product is safe at its maximum use level”. Some of the studies to be done are: “assays of genetic toxicity, acute toxicity (1 to 14 d exposure), short-term toxicity (14 to 28 d exposure), subchronic toxicity (90 d exposure), reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, chronic toxicity (including carcinogenicity), and human data (clinical, epidemiological, or occupational) when available”, “supplemental studies … including mode or mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, sensitization, endocrine disruption”, “studies using routes of exposure other than ingestion”, “structure activity relationships, physical and chemical properties, and any other chemical specific information relevant to the risk assessment”, “qualitative risk assessment approach … or a quantitative risk assessment approach”, “gene mutation assay and a chromosomal aberration assay”, “assays of genetic toxicity, and supplemental toxicity studies”, subchronic toxicity study”, “studies using alternate routes of exposure, alternate assays of genetic toxicity, and supplemental toxicity studies other than those specified”, “quantitative risk estimation”, “studies for the evaluation of reproductive and developmental toxicity”.

The Arkansas Oral Health Coalition (AOHC) was incorporated in 2001 by Lynn Mouden as Incorporator/Organizer, and as of January 2016, he still holds that position. The coalition started as the Arkansas Team at the National Governor’s Association (NGA) Policy Academy on Improving Oral Health Access for Children.

Team of 2001 consisted of the following 7 members:

• Governor Mike Huckabee’s Governor’s office

• Arkansas General Assembly

• Office of Oral Health

• Division of Medical Services

• Arkansas State Dental Association

• Arkansas State Dental Hygienist’s Association

• BHM International, Inc

Arkansas Oral Health Coalition (AOHC) is a Non-Profit Corporation, and the following is a statement put out by Carol Amerine from the Office of Oral Health:

“The Office of Oral Health is committed to long term sustainability of ACT 197 and community water fluoridation. When writing grants, monies for sub-grants to water systems attempting to upgrade and maintain costly fluoridation equipment are now included when possible.”

Unfortunately, that is the case.  Keep reading…

By the year 2010, Arkansas reported 65% of its population receiving the benefits of fluoridated water. However, Dr. Mouden’s goal was 85%. To achieve this goal, Dr. Mouden initiated an effort to rally collaborative support from the Arkansas Oral Health Coalition, identify a legislator who wanted to be an oral health champion (he found Arkansas Senator David Johnson), encourage the naming of ‘Oral Health’ as a priority legislative issue for the Arkansas Department of Health, and to solicit help and support from the PEW foundation.”

ACIP consists of 15 members who are voting members and are responsible for making vaccine recommendations. In addition to the 15 voting members, ACIP includes 8 ex officio members who represent other federal agencies with responsibility for immunization programs in the United States, and 30 non-voting representatives of liaison organizations.

Lawmakers Look into Federal Response to Rising Rates of Autism - (5 minute video)

Opening comments are from Representative Dan Burton from Indiana, a long-time spokesperson in Congress on the dangers of vaccines and autism.

Vaccines are very controversial, but Secure Arkansas sincerely believes that vaccines — in some cases — have caused autism. “Thimerosal is a preservative that contains mercury and was used for many years as an additive in some routinely administered children’s vaccines. Fears developed a few years ago that the additive might have been causing dangerously elevated levels of mercury in infants, resulting in neurological impairment and, in some cases, autism.” Thimerosol “was developed by Eli Lilly & Company in the 1920′s.”  Oddly enough, we must switch gears here and mention the federal government’s efforts regarding terrorism: interestingly, in November 2002, “the Senate approved legislation to establish a Department of Homeland Security” which would soon be signed into law by the president. “Buried in this massive bill, snuck into it in the dark of night by persons unknown (actually, it’s fair to say by Republican persons unknown), was a provision that — incredibly — [would] protect Eli Lilly and a few other big pharmaceutical outfits from lawsuits by parents who believe their children were harmed by thimerosal.” What in the world are vaccines doing in a bill about homeland security and terrorism? You decide!  “Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the major drug companies have become a gigantic collective cash machine for politicians…” or could it be something more menacing? So, whose hands are dirty? This New York Times article can give you some insight and is worth reading.

As we’ve mentioned before, dear reader, the CDC is in bed with Big Pharma.

Have You Been Lied to About Fluoride?

In the words of Dr. Robert Carton, former scientist for the EPA:

“Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not of all time.”

All Fluoride is extremely toxic. Yes, even Natural Fluoride is toxic! Click here for the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Natural Fluoride (CaF2).

Listed on the MSDS under Section 3 Hazards Identification for Natural Fluoride it states:

• Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Corrosive to eyes and skin. The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness. Skin contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Inhalation of dust will produce irritation to gastrointestinal or respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. Severe overexposure can produce lung damage, choking, unconsciousness or death.

• The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, liver, cardiovascular system, skin, bones, central nervous system (CNS), teeth. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the eyes to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.

Dr. John Colquhoun’s Story

• A leading New Zealand dentist who believed that fluoridation was safe and effective

• Became Chair of New Zealand Fluoridation Promotion Committee

• Discovered how studies were being slanted

• Had the courage to reverse his position on fluoridation                                   

Lesson from History  by Dr. John Colquhoun (from International Society for Fluoride Research)

“I now realize that what my colleagues and I were doing was what the history of science shows all professionals do when their pet theory is confronted by disconcerting new evidence: they bend over backwards to explain away the new evidence. They try very hard to keep their theory intact — especially so if their own professional reputations depend on maintaining that theory.”

On the Arkansas Department of Health web site, ADH claims fluoride is safe. How can that be when the MSDS for Natural Fluoride states overwise?

The three types of Chemical Fluorides used in water fluoridation (all of which are toxic poison)  are:

• Sodium Fluoride (NaF)  Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)        

• Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)                 

• Sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)    

A supplier of fluoride products “Alibaba.com” (from China) lists all the uses of the three types of fluoride products used for water fluoridation as stated on their web site:

Sodium Fluoride (NaF)

APPLICATION:  Be used as anti-corrosion agent in wood, medical corrosion, fusing in welding, main usage of our product is for toothpaste-production, purification agent of drinking water, material for paper industry, manufacture of rimmed steel, treatment of hides and skins for leather industry, adhesive preservative, purification and couring flux in the melting of light metals.

Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6)

Property: Colorless,transparent and smoky liquid with penetrating odor; highly acidic;soluble in water and volatile;with disinfecting action;corrosive to glass,ceramics,lead and other metals; highly corrosive to human skin and harmful to people’s respiratory organs; keep it in a container made of plastics.

Usage:Mainly applied to the preparation of aluminium fluoride, cryolite and sodium fluorosilicate.

Sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6)

Usage: It is used as antiseptic in timber industry, hygroscopic agent of acid-resisting concrete, solidifying agent in natural latex products, additive in plating with zinc, nickel, iron and filler in plastic and fluorinating agent in pharmaceuticals and drinking water. It is used to produce insecticide in pesticide industry and sodium fluoride in man-made cryolite.

We just want to give our reading audience some examples of the leading industrial/corporate fluoride polluters: pesticides and fertilizers, chemicals and metals, aluminum and steel (including metals used for the military), the glass industry… Therefore, it appears that industry does have a very powerful motive for maintaining the lie that fluoride is safe. (Industries mine tons and tons of fluoride every year.)

Yes, jobs are needed, BUT to put fluoride in our drinking water is sinister!        

The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) wants everyone to believe that natural fluoride is safe and only the fluoride level is being adjusted.  Most of the information that ADH puts out is not original information. The majority of the pro-fluoride information comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — none of which can be trusted.

In closing…. watch the video about the Flint, Michigan lead fiasco. You may have heard about it in the news recently. There was LEAD in their public water! The elected officials failed that city and issues like this will also come up in others towns, cities, and states.

“Damage from lead is irreversible,” said Flint’s new Mayor, Karen Weaver.

Remember, artificial fluoride (the raw substance, the kind they add to fluoridate a community) contains all kinds of deadly chemicals, including arsenic, traces of mercury, uranium, aluminium and lead! (Just to name a few we are forced to ingest). Lead is not a benevolent substance, and neither is fluoride!!! That’s why it is important to test the water for all the chemicals. This is not being done!  Fluoride is NOT biodegradable, and it accumulates both in our food chain and our bodies. It  is one of the most toxic substances known to man, so is it “safe”? The government says it is… The government also assured the residents of Flint, Michigan that their water was safe, too.

Here’s another article regarding Flint, Michigan entitled “How the Government — and this Columnist — Failed Flint”. The subtitle is: “Michigan officials poisoned the city’s drinking water, the EPA covered it up, and I took my eye off the ball.”

Once again, we ask Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson for a moratorium on Act 197, the drinking water fluoridation mandate. Please take action, governor!

Upcoming ADH Meeting:  January 28, 2016 is the kick-off date for the quarterly meeting for the Arkansas Department of Health. Secure Arkansas thinks this first meeting will set their agenda for the year as well as policy for the upcoming legislative session for 2017.  This will affect all of us!  That’s next week Thursday, so please make plans to attend.
