sue local government?

Question

I want to sue the city for medicating me without a license, or permission, by putting fluoride into my drinking water. Please help

Answer 1

Can't be done. So sue me. Nutcase

Answer 2

Why would you want to sue the government for medicating you without a licence when fluoride prevents tooth decay. Would you rather be toothless?

Answer 3

You can't sue the government but you can sue the company, or hopspital, or wherever the flouride came from. It helps if other people had flouride in the water too so you can sue as a group. (It will be taken more seriously)

Good luck.

Answer 4

Many local water municipalities fluoridate their water supplies by adding fluoride in concentrations of less than 4 ppm. Originally, sodium fluoride was used to fluoridate water; however, hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and its salt (Na2SiF6) are more commonly used, especially in the United States.

Fluoride is best known for its use in small quantities in an attempt to help reduce dental caries (cavity) frequency in teeth. Some studies suggest that fluoridation is associated with a median decline in the number of children with caries of 12.5%, and a median decline of 2.25 teeth with caries. [4]

Fluoride compounds, usually calcium fluoride, are naturally found in low concentration in drinking water and some foods, such as tea. The ocean itself has an average concentration of 1.3 ppm (parts per million). Fluoride ions replace hydroxide ions in calcium hydroxyapatite, Ca5[(PO4)3OH], in teeth, forming calcium fluoroapatite, Ca5[(PO4)3F], which is more chemically stable and dissolves at a pH of 4.5, compared to 5.5 pH for calcium hydroxyapatite. This is generally believed to lead to fewer cavities, since stronger acids are needed to attack the tooth enamel. In 1951, Joseph C. Muhler and Harry G. Day of Indiana University reported their research results on stannous fluoride as a tooth decay preventive and the university first sold the technology to Procter & Gamble to use in Crest toothpaste. Groups that have evaluated available studies and support water fluoridation include The American Dental Association (ADA), World Health Organization (WHO), and some other health organizations which recommend raising the fluoride level of municipal water supplies to a level between 0.7 and 1.2 ppm or mg/L.

The most widely accepted adverse effect of low concentration fluoridation at this time is fluorosis [4]. It is a condition caused by 'excessive' intake of fluorine compounds over an extended period of time, and can cause yellowing of teeth. The definition of 'excessive' in the context of fluorosis falls on the order of parts per million and is generally accepted to mean significantly higher than the 0.7 to 1.2 ppm amounts recommended for fluoridated water. However, dosage is crucial to adverse effects, and therefore, what concentration is problematic will depend on the amount of fluoride ingested, how much is absorbed, and the weight of the person ingesting it. For this reason, many doctors have advised against using fluoridated water to make up formula for infants. However, this may be more due to the chemical interaction of fluoride with the calcium in the formula producing CaF2 which will precipitate out of the body within the stool of the infant, thereby decreasing its absorption. People with kidney problems, or those on dialysis, are also advised not to ingest fluoridated water.

So you going to sue mother nature as well? You have the option of buying bottled water to drink. Any court that takes your case would be a joke or travesty. There are more important things in life than starting a frivolous lawsuit.

Answer 5

You need to get a hobby. Put a filter on your drinking water and deal with it. It's always been that way so you can't say it was without your knowledge.

Put on your big boy shorts and suck it up.

Answer 6

Get a life.

Answer 7

Unless you can prove that their act caused you actual injury, you're SOL.
