View Full Version : Fluoride spill at water facility literally burns holes in parking lot cement

(NaturalNews) (http://www.infowars.com/fluoride-spill-at-illinois-water-facility-requires-haz-mat-response-but-it’s-ok-to-drink/) A recent chemical spill at a water treatment facility in Rock Island, Ill., required the assistance of an emergency relief crew decked in the very same type of hazmat suits being worn by workers at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant in Japan. Except instead of radiation, the leaked chemical at the water plant was actually hydrofluorosilicic acid, a chemical fluoride component commonly added to drinking supplies for the stated purpose of preventing cavities. This fluoride chemical is so hazardous that it actually began to burn through parking lot cement in Rock Island before emergency crews arrived on the scene.

According to reports from WQAD News 8 in Moline, a tanker truck delivering the fluoride began to overflow, leaking the chemical directly onto the parking lot where it spilled down towards the street.
And before emergency crews arrived on the scene in full hazmat suits and gas masks, the fluoride had actually begun to burn a hole right through the concrete.

“It’s a corrosive agent that the water treatment plant uses,” said Rock Island assistant fire chief Jeff Yerkey, concerning the spilled fluoride. He explained that the crews had to use earthen berms, dirt, sand, and commercial broom equipment to stop the leak. Yerkey also added that there was no “inhalation hazard” from the incident, and no evacuation of local residents was required.

To see the full WQAD News 8 video report of the incident, which includes footage of hazmat workers being hosed off after the incident to ensure that no fluoride residues remained, visit:
http://www.wqad.com/news/rock-islan…

What is truly amazing about the incident is that this very same fluoride, which fire chief Yerkey specifically called a “corrosive agent,” is deliberately added to drinking water supplies across the nation. This highly-toxic chemical that, when spilled, requires similar protective equipment as does a radioactive fallout situation, is being added to millions of Americans drinking water supplies every single day in the name of promoting health.

In reality, the events surrounding this fluoride spill are more than enough proof for any rationally-minded person that adding this poison to water supplies is a bad idea. Anything that requires the use of a protective suit and gas mask in order to handle — and that burns a hole directly through concrete — simply cannot be good for the body when ingested.

And this is the stuff that supposedly protects teeth? Seems odd. Can't avoid it now though, since even "Tom's Natural of Maine" has flouride.

I'll brush my teeth with the shit, but I'm not swallowing it. Hell, chlorine in the water is bad enough, but at least the filter takes that out.

I've known fluoride was added to drinking water for a long time. And I know their basic reasoning for doing this. But did the American public ever ask for this? Or did they ever get to vote on it? Or was it just done without telling anyone until after as a way for them to take care of us better than we can take care of ourselves?

In the UK only 10% of the population gets fluoridated water because it is decided at a local level. Insert a bunch of British teeth jokes here. The teeth of people in areas where they have fluoridated have significantly less tooth decay and no ill health effects.

Unfortunately in Scotland we had our own non scientific fantasist who managed to block it. There has been a ton of research done by non wrestlers and it's a really good idea which you are lucky to have in the US for 2/3rds of your population.

So fluoride is harmless when diluted in millions of gallons of water, but natural oil deposits from under the surface is the end of the world when it's diluted in billions of gallons?




*actually, the Gulf of Mexico holds 643 Quadrillion gallons according to the EPA's official site, which says, "... The mean (average) water depth of the Gulf is ~1,615 m and the basin contains a volume of 2,434,000 cubic kilometers of water (6.43 * 1017 or 643 quadrillion gallons)

It's not really the same thing until it's all completely mixed and to be fair to me I did make the argument about the gulf diluting the oil at the time and so far it seems it's maybe not been quite the apocalypse some people were predicting.

Fluoride does occur 'naturally' in water some areas. All that fluoridation of water does is make that more widespread at the same levels.

Remember cancer, death, disease and misery all occur naturally.

On the other hand, some of the shit that DOES have a significant negative impact on my health didn't even exist 100 years ago, so that would have been a plus. My allergic reactions to MonSatan's Frankencorn are getting worse all the damn time. I'm pretty good at avoiding the High Fructose Corn Poison, and never touch Doritos or anything like that anymore. But I ate some microwave popcorn the other day, and within hours my neck was swelling up. Thankfully it was the lymph nodes and not the throat closing up, since I didn't have any Benadryl on hand. What I DID have is some of that natural medicine that Sesh hates. Horse Chestnut Extract, in this case. Cleared that shit right out within 24 hours.

The difference between medicine and natural medicine is that natural medicine usually denotes something which has not been proven to work. Aspirin comes from tree bark, digitalin from foxglove and strychnine from nut trees but you hardly ever hear them called natural remedies.

If your horse chestnut extract has been proven to work then you can safely drop the word 'natural'.

This is what happens when you jump to conclusions without any evidence. You don't know me. You don't know shit about my appetite or what I eat. You would probably be shocked at how little I eat, actually. But admittedly, I used to drink Coca-Cola like water before I realized what the corn poison was doing to me. Add that on to a metabolism already crippled by a childhood Ritalin prescription, and the results weren't pretty. And the minute I stopped drinking the shit, I lost weight. Funny how that works.

White sugar is obviously not a health food either. Nor is white flour. Pretty much any "white" carbohydrate should be minimized, if not avoided entirely. But the frankencorn poison is the worst of the lot. It's so refined that the body can't even break it down, so it goes directly into the bloodstream, spiking the insulin and depositing in the fat cells. It's no coincidence that obesity in America started increasing after that shit was introduced into the food supply.

The second type are just plain quacks.

The guys that just do the back massage stuff can be dangerous but give some temporary muscular relief. I wouldn't recommend even them though because they can do serious damage and cause quite a few deaths each year in people our kind of age group from strokes.

Bear with me in the beginning of this story, I'll get to the point.

Once, many years ago, I was reading a newspaper with me back to the fire place, I was relaxed & in a comfortable position, but somehow, a muscle in the middle of my back pulled & got stuck that way. Since it was pulling my spine, the pain was horrible, but I eventually got better.

However, from that point on, every time my back muscles got tense - like, for example, standing out in extreme cold - there was a chance the same muscle would pull again & it did so 3 or 4 more times. That last one was horrible. It went on for weeks!

Eventually, I gave up & found myself one of them masseuses that specialized in muscle injuries. Well, turns out she really was a masseuse, so the joke was on me when I pulled down me pants & she told me that I didn't need to do that if the pain was on me back. I played it cool, though, so I don't think she noticed.

I went there a few times over the next 2-3 weeks & although the instant change was slight, it was noticeable enough to keep me going. By the time we was done, the pain had gone & it NEVER came back. That was 3 years ago.

Of course, it was a muscle, not really a back issue. So, while I'll vouch for the usefulness of some of them people, I'd advise some caution when dealing with them.

Well, when dealing with just about anyone, really. If you're easily suggestible, chances are you'll be separated from your money for nothing more often than not. And you deserve it, too.

Thing is though, the pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know that they get a lot of their medicines from natural sources. Had aspirin been invented in the last few decades, it wouldn't be widely known that it comes from tree bark, because the modern day Bayer company would keep it secret, and patented.

Of course some of these things do have to be processed somewhat to be useful. If I picked raw horse chestnuts off a tree and ate them, I would probably die because there are toxins in the raw state of the horse chestnut (which is different from the chestnuts that you might roast over an open fire in December). But the extract is indeed great medicine. Just like that Chinese Star Anise tea that I like to keep on hand in the winter in case I get the flu (active ingredient in the ridiculously overpriced pharmaceutical drug Tamiflu.

All I can tell you is I've been eating Beanitos for a while now, and I'm not farting anymore than usual (unlike when I eat chili, burritos, or other bean based food. Maybe the fact that the beans are totally crushed into paste or flour (or however they make it into chips) releases all the gaseous stuff that would be present in whole beans?

Oddly enough, the only time I can remember ever NOT farting for several days was when I was doing the Atkins thing and eating nothing but protein. Except when I drank the low carb beer, anyway (which is what convinced me I couldn't stay on that diet too long - that beer really sucked!)

Complete and utter bollocks with all due respect.

The whole point of any patent is that you have to publish in extreme detail how and what you have discovered.

If you won't pay $40 or whatever it is to save a few days of the flu or maybe even save your life then IMHO you are either insane or suicidal but of course the beauty of a proper healthcare system is it's not even something you have to think about.

I go to a sports medicine specialist. The main difference between him and a chiropractor is he doesn't want to sell me a year contract for services. He also busts your ass instead of making adjustments that make you feel good. Then you are sent home with a bunch of exercises to do at home. A chiropractor rarely does that. They want you to feel good and want to come back for the next adjustment. If you are going to spend your money, just go to a kinky massage parlor instead of the chiropractor.

Yeah, all I needed was expert massages to gradually relax the muscle. However, once again, it strikes me as surprising how someone who's so smart in so many things can be so naive in others. Someone dangles the word "science" in front of you & you're hooked every time.

I DID go to a doctor, against my better judgement. You know what he did? Asked me about the pain & told me to go buy some pills.

Yeah. THAT is the modern medicine answer for EVERYTHING. Expensive addictive substances. I've seen what that shit does to people in the long run.

Frankly, I don't trust a "qualified" doctor any more than I trust a fucking hippie & his "natural", "herbal" medicine.

They're all quacks.

DON'T walk into any of those charlatan's offices unless you REALLY need it. You'll never get rid of 'em again.

Eh, I knew a person in my youth that always "popped" (manipulation of) my neck, popped my toes, jerked me up and popped my back...
No harm really ever come of it. I wouldn't say it was good either.

The best way to adjust your back is with your own movement.

That said, I have had great results (temporary) from chiropractors. However, I have had lasting results from b12, physical therapist, and prayers.

They physical act of prayer involves crouching into an extreme fetal position and inserting one's head into one's anus.

I never realized how many Florida drivers were in fact praying as they went down the highway.

It's a very spiritual state.
