Subject: Withdrawal of all unapproved Children's Fluoride supplements...
I am writing in support of Assemblyman John V. Kelly's petition of October 
26th, to withdraw all unabpproved Children's Fluoride supplements immediately 
and also ask for a full Congressional Hearing on the safety and efficacy of 
using fluoride, in particular, the form used in most water treatment 
facilities.  This form has not been approved nor been researched on the long 
term health effects.  Further, double blind studies could easily be set up in 
separate county's, yet, to date has not been done.  Further, the one in 
Illinois or Wisconsin that was done comparing fluoridated vs. unfluoridated, 
revealed a difference within the first few years, yet was ceased before the 
10 year study was completed, by fluoridating the unfluoridated community.   

I believe there has been a steamrolling effect pollitically up to this point 
- without due diligence done on the part of our Congress for the "health of 
our citizens".  I believe that Congress owes it to the American public to 
review all the facts and steer clear of the political agendas (or at least 
recognize the obvious reasons that there is such a push to Fluoridate).  
After they review all the facts, they will see that Mass Medication of the 
Public water supplies is unconstitutional and wrong.  Each citizen should 
have a choice...and forcing the water utilities to medicate the masses is 
taking away that choice. 

Fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known and ultimately will be 
proven to be a major detriment to our health. 

Thank you for your ear.
