Our Medical
Officer, Dr. Vivien Suttorp, submitted an article for publication in the
Lethbridge Herald last week. It was angering. Apparently, everyone who opposes
poisoning the water supply is a misinformed lobbyist. Is anyone else
comfortable with how effortless it is for our medical authorities to lie to us
and ignore their responsibilities?
We are all
losing our health and it doesn't even seem like they are losing sleep. Come on
people, let’s be angry about this. If somebody snuck into your home and slipped
poison into your kid’s apple juice, wouldn't you be outraged? Wouldn't you seek
justice? How is this any different? This is not the time to be silent.
I sent this
letter to the editor at the Herald. I don’t know if it will be published so I
am posting it here. I will also post the letter my friend sent in. If any of
you would like to be represented here as well, then please speak up. I want
everyone’s voice to be heard.
To the editor-
“It is an indisputable fact that too much fluoride can
cause bodily harm or death. Why hasn't this limit been defined by our
Medical Officer, Dr. Vivien Suttorp? She reassures us that our health is being
monitored, but she can’t possibly know how much fluoride we are being exposed
to. There is fluoride in the toothpaste. There is fluoride in the mouthwash.
It’s at the dentist and in prescription drugs. It’s in processed foods and even
in fresh vegetables. Why do we need it forced into our drinking and bathing
water as well?
Every person has a different body, with different
sensitivities and needs. What if
I drink more water than most people or have to shower more often? I don’t think
our Health Officer has ever stopped
to consider both sides, and yet she accuses those who do of being misinformed.
The truth is, I have considered the information and
I don’t want fluoride in my family’s drinking water. Unfortunately, I can’t
make the best decision for my own wellness, like she suggests, because no one
is giving me a choice.”
