IN SONOMA COUNTY ONLY THESE 5 PEOPLE
HAVE THE POWER TO STOP WATER FLUORIDATION
These 5 people are our Sonoma County Supervisors.
They are also the Governing Board of the Sonoma County Water Agency
THE SONOMA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors planned to hear the Department of Health Services’ formal recommendation to fluoridate Sonoma County water Tuesday May 19, 2015, however fluoridation was not included on the final agenda. At this time, the Board has not decided when or if water fluoridation will be on the agenda in the future, including when or if the Board will hear the Department of Health Services’ recommendation.
MAY 17, 2015: A MESSAGE FROM DAWNA
1. Please take a moment to contact our Board of Supervisors to thank them for the wisdom to decide, in a time of drought, with some water quality issues, and other high priority funding needs, to postpone the fluoridation vote indefinitely.
2. We at Clean Water Sonoma Marin ask all of you to join us in focusing on the Sonoma County Department of Health Services (DHS). They have already requested another date on agenda.
We believe DHS must:
– Prove decay rates go down 25% (they can’t);
– Provide “evidence based studies” for human ingestion (there are none);
– Demonstrate that the costs will completely be provided by an outside source, including maintenance, for the projected 30 years in their proposal (this has not ever happened in California).
3. Please finish approaching your own City Councils if they have not yet weighed in (see City Council contact information on our homepage).
Thank YOU all. It is an Honor to work with you.

SOME REASONS WE SAY CLEAN WATER IS FLUORIDE FREE:
1. Fluoridation takes away our right to choose whether or not to use fluorides for ourselves and our children.
2. Public water fluoridation violates both medical ethics & our civil rights.
3. The ADA recommends unfluoridated water for baby formula to prevent fluorosis damage to teeth, but fluoridated water is also dangerous to the developing brains and bodies of our babies.
4. Dental fluorosis (permanently stained teeth from drinking fluoridated water when teeth are forming) is a marker for damage to other parts of the body.
5. 41 % of U.S. children ages 12-15 have visible dental fluorosis because today they are getting fluoride overload even in areas without fluoridated water.
6. Fluoride is an endocrine disruptor, interfering with metabolism, including lowering thyroid production, which can cause depression and weight gain.
7. Diabetics and others with impaired kidney function are so at risk from fluoridated water that in 2008 the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) withdrew its support of water fluoridation.
8. Topical fluoride application prevents some tooth decay; swallowing fluoride does not.
9. Fluoridation damage is expensive, fluoridation chemicals are dangerous, and fluoridation does not prevent tooth decay (documentation on request).

5. El 41% de los niños en Estados Unidos, edades entre 12 y 15 años presentan fluorosis porque reciben demasiado fluoruro.
6. El fluoruro es un disruptor endocrino que interfiere con el metabolismo, incluyendo una producción baja de la glándula tiroides lo cual puede causar depression y aumento de peso.
7. Los diabéticos al igual que otros personas con disfunción renal corren riesgo al beber agua fluorada, y pore so la Fundación Nacional del Riñón retiró el apoyo para la fluoración del agua.
8. La aplicación tópica de fluoruro previene algunos problemas en la dentadura, su ingestion no
9. El daño por fluoración es muy costoso. Los químicos peligrosos de la fluoración no previene el malgaste de los dientes.
