To let you know what's going on. My hubby was having a lot of tooth pain back in January and so we went to the dentist. She pulled some teeth but the swelling just wouldn't go down and he was still having a lot of mouth pain so we went back. This time she and the other dentist in the office looked at his mouth. The other dentist wouldn't do anything with his mouth and so she sent us to a dental surgeon in Florence, AL.
We went to the dental surgeon and he told my hubby that he had mouth cancer and wanted to make him an appointment down in Birmingham, AL. It was quite a shock to us both. We both knew Birmingham was quite a ways away from us so hubby wanted to talk to the dentist (Dr. Jamie Blood who is a wonderful dentist if your in the Lawrenceburg TN area and need a dentist) so we stopped at her office. He went in and talked to her and she gave him another dental surgeon's office number to call. Which we did when we went home. His name is Dr. Stephen Parey (if you need a dental surgeon, he is located in Columbia but has a satellite office in Lawrenceburg. He sent hubby to get a CT of his head at Maury Regional Hospital and did a biopsy of the growth in his mouth.
We went to get the CT and afterwards hubby became very dizzy walking down the hall. Luckily a doctor was passing by and asked if he needed a wheelchair. When we said yes, he stopped a passing nurse and she pushed hubby to the front door where we got in the shuttle they have there. They took us directly to our car. I suppose that he was kind of allergic to the CT dye but I really don't know.
Meanwhile Dr. Parey's office made us appointments with a radiologist/oncologist, chemo doctor and a dental surgeon. The first two are located in Columbia TN and the surgeon is in Nashville.
Oh and hubby was having a lot of knee pain so I made him an appointment with an orthopedic doctor who sent him for a MRI of his knee. Turns out he has cancer in his knee as well.
If that wasn't a lot to grasp, it turns out after a PET scan that he has kidney cancer as well. And all the other cancer stems from this. He will start chemo on Monday along with radiation therapy on his knee. We go tomorrow to the surgeon in Nashville to see if he can do anything for his mouth and face. I've never driven to Nashville so wish me luck. And if you pray, please pray for my hubby. We need all the help we can get. Thanks!

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is really an awful thing to have. It runs in my family. I even had a great aunt who died from complications of the disease. She was born with it and died in her 20's. My grandmother had it and so do my mom and my aunts to some degree. The reason I'm saying all of this is because of this article:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/09/27/new-rheumatoid-arthritis-drugs.aspx?e_cid=20120927_DNL_art_2
Seems like since I've changed my diet and following some of the things in the article I might not get RA or at least lessen the effects of it. I sure do hope so. I do have arthritis in my hands and neck. I type every day so sometimes when I wake up my hands really hurt but I just get up and start again. The worst thing you can do is just sit and obsess over the pain. My gramma always said that and it's true. If you move you will feel better with any kind of arthritis. At least I think so. Besides who wants their muscles to atrophy? So I guess what I'm saying is if you can feel better with changing your diet and doing any kind of exercise to make yourself feel better why not give it a go? Even if you don't have RA bet you know someone who does. Tell them about the article and give them a hug. Everyone needs a hug :)

The best lemonade EVER!
I have to say that I am not a big fan of lemonade. When I was growing up, my mom would make lemonade from Real Lemon and lots of sugar. But I decided to make my hubby some lemonade this summer. Now I used to use just regular lemons and sugar but since we have been trying to use as much local food unprocessed or very little processed, I decided to make lemonade with organic lemons and honey. Wow what a difference! I now love lemonade at least made this way. Here is how I do it:
Honey Lemonade
3-4 organic lemons
1/4 cup raw local honey
Filtered water
Squeeze your lemons! That kinda sounded naughty didn't it? LOL. Take them out of the fridge and let them set for a half hour to warm up and roll them on the counter. This gets more juice out of your lemon. Cut them in half and squeeze them removing any seeds from the juice. You can use a juicer if you want to but I just use my hands. It gets the job done and my nails are so white now ;) though it does hurt if you have any cuts on your hands (ouch!)
You will need about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of juice depending upon how lemony you want it. Pour it in your pitcher and add the honey and stir. It will take a couple of minutes to dissolve the honey. Then add your water up to the top of the pitcher. Put it in the fridge to cool or if you are really thirsty add some ice cubes and drink up!
This is really good! Now if it isn't sweet enough add more honey, Honey LOL. If you really wanted to make it extra special, you could always freeze some of it into ice cubes and then your lemonade wouldn't be diluted. You can always double and triple this recipe for any picnics this summer. And since you haven't heated anything up, this will keep your kitchen cool and you haven't lost any of the nutrients from the honey.
Let me know if you try it out and if you have any additional tips to pass on.
Talk to ya later!

Been away from the blog for a while...
To update everyone on how much I've been doing...and how exciting my life is...
The chickens are laying again...a lot. I have several dozen eggs in the fridge. We eat eggs almost every day for breakfast and I even made some egg salad the other day for lunch. I really don't want to eat them for supper too, really I don't.
We planted cabbages, peas, lettuce, basil, potatoes in the garden. I guess too early cause guess what, we're getting a freeze tonight and tomorrow night...hmmm hope we don't lose the blueberries and grapes. I wanted to cover them tonight but hubby said they should be OK since it's a light freeze so he can't blame me if they freeze and all the berries drop off.
Dad and mom called yesterday to let me know that they had to rush to the hospital cause mom was having chest pains at 1 a.m. Turns out she has a hiatal hernia and not having a heart attack.
We close on some new property we are buying tomorrow. 5 acres of land in Tennessee! No house on it but we are planning on building one or getting a trailer (I don't like trailers, been there, done that and don't want to do it again :) Hubby was thinking we might just build a pole building and then do the inside like we want but he wants to have a garage door...what? Anyway he says then it will be easier to move in the furniture and appliances. Guess you can't argue with that logic huh?
My brother is moving to New York. Dad and mom finally got him on the phone, hadn't heard from him for over two weeks. I had left a message a couple of days after he had called me drunk. He's an alcoholic and fell off the wagon again. Glad he's OK. Wish he would get his act together.
Our geriatric cat is on his last legs I'm afraid. He's dragging his back leg and peed on our bed the other day. I couldn't yell at him or anything, he's so old. If he gets any worse, we'll probably have to take him to be put to sleep. As long as he's eating and drinking, we'll keep him and love on him as long as possible. Had to give him a bath tonight though he stunk so bad (all the peeing I think). He's good about going to the litter box usually though. I have shut him out of the bedroom. I had the devil of a time getting the top pillow top clean (we have an air bed) and the top zips off. It is so bulky and barely fits in the washer. I put it outside to dry.
Hubby has been sick but won't go to the doctor until after we sign the papers for the land. I'm calling the doc to make an appointment when he's outside tomorrow...sneaky huh?
I got one cross stitched picture done. I need to take some pics of it. It's a fruit label and I'm making quite a few others to go with it. I think I will make a quilted hanging out of them. I'm still working on several sweaters and a pair of socks as well. I get bored with one project and go to another one.
Well that's all I can think of for now. Hope you had a very nice Easter!

FDA to regulate stem cells
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is attempting to regulate stem cell procedures at a Colorado clinic, stating that stem cells are “drugs” that fall under FDA jurisdiction
The FDA is making this claim even though the stem cells being used in the procedure come from the patient’s own body, which means they are essentially claiming that they can regulate a part of your body
In court documents, the FDA also stated that the procedure would adversely affect the market for out-of-state drugs that are approved by FDA
The FDA has a sordid history of attacking natural products and procedures that threaten to interfere with big business; knowledge is power -- the more you know the better you’ll be able to make informed health care decisions

I'm awake, really
Another bad night of insomnia. After I laid there until 2:30 in the morning and still not gotten to sleep, I got up and turned on the computer and started working. Worked up until about 10:30 and then I thought I was going to pass out I was so tired. Laid down and fell asleep. Next thing I know hubby is waking me up saying he went to the store and got lunch for us both. It was 1:30. I got up and ate and boy was that good. He's a sweetheart and I think I'll keep him :) I'm starting to drag again but I am staying up until at least 8 or 9 and then going to bed. Please let me sleep through the night tonight...

I wondered what was up...
when I heard on the news about the birth control thing requiring insurance companies to give out free birth control. Now Obama is backpedaling cause he's got the Churches upset...hmmm.
On the latest video I saw he was saying that this policy wasnt supposed to come out until next year but he told them to do it in a week but this wasnt politcal yea right...seems there's an election coming up wonder why he thinks we might think it is political...hmmm.
Anywho - here is an article by the New American that I found on Article 21 put out by the UN last October. I found it very interesting, I think you will too. Now I dont normally think there are any conspiracies going on but this one, well read it for yourself and see what you think.
According to the United Nations, the earth’s population will reach seven billion by October 31. For the world body, however, that is not something to celebrate. In fact, the UN Population Fund is focused on ways to decrease the world’s population, and has selected October 31, “7 Billion Day,” as a day to raise awareness about “sustainable development.”
The United Nations has openly proclaimed that the world’s increasing population is a cause for concern. Likewise, the UN has advocated for its Agenda 21 program that seeks to bring about “sustainable development.”
On February 10, The New American’s William Jasper wrote of Agenda 21:
The UN’s Agenda 21 is definitely comprehensive and global — breathtakingly so. Agenda 21 proposes a global regime that will monitor, oversee, and strictly regulate our planet’s oceans, lakes, streams, rivers, aquifers, sea beds, coastlands, wetlands, forests, jungles, grasslands, farmland, deserts, tundra, and mountains. It even has a whole section on regulating and “protecting” the atmosphere. It proposes plans for cities, towns, suburbs, villages, and rural areas. It envisions a global scheme for healthcare, education, nutrition, agriculture, labor, production, and consumption — in short, everything; there is nothing on, in, over, or under the Earth that doesn’t fall within the purview of some part of Agenda 21.
Agenda 21 is yet another means to achieve ultimate control. Additionally, as noted by LewRockwell.com, a key component of Agenda 21’s sustainable development is population control, since Agenda 21 seeks to achieve reduced consumption, social equity and the preservation and restoration of biodiversity. Proponents of Agenda 21 and sustainable development believe every societal decision should be based on environmental impact, including land use, education, and population control.
A United Nations resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly specifically designed to implement Agenda 21 reads:
….population growth rates have been declining globally, largely as a result of expanded basic education and health care. That trend is projected to lead to a stable world population in the middle of the twenty-first century… The current decline in population growth rates must be further promoted through national and international policies that promote economic development, social development, environmental protection, and poverty eradication, particularly the further expansion of basic education, with full and equal access for girls and women, and health care, including reproductive health care, including both family planning and sexual health, consistent with the report of the International Conference on Population and Development.
Likewise, the March 2009 U.N. Population Division Policy brief began with the statement, “What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?”
The same theme was prevalent in the 2009 World Population Report released by the United Nations Population Fund entitled “Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate.” That document made a number of frightening assertions:
•"Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."
•"No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."
•"Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."
Many of our own lawmakers and members of the Obama administration have openly called for population control. Former vice president Al Gore, for example, made the following statement regarding population control:
"One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principle ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children have, the spacing of the children.
You have to lift child survival rates so that parents feel comfortable having small families and most important – you have to educate girls and empower women. And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices."
Maurice Strong, head of the United Nations Environmental Program, alluded to population control and more when he stated in 1990, “What if a small group of these world leaders were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?”
President Obama’s Science Adviser John Holdren wrote a book in 1977 called Ecoscience in which he indicated support for forced abortions, sterilization through infertility drugs or through the nation’s drinking water or food, having babies seized from single mothers or teen mothers and given away to couples, requiring that “people who contribute to social deterioration…be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” (i.e. more forced abortions or sterilizations), and creating a transnational “Planetary Regime” that controls the global economy and dictates the details of American lives by use of an armed international police force.
Holdren went so far as to say that the United States Constitution permits population control, “Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
Population control has also found support amongst other prominent Americans, including Microsoft’s Bill Gates, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sierra Club Director David Brower, Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger, and David Rockefeller.
Given the United Nation Population Fund’s push for decreased population, and the surprising level of support it has received within our own federal government, groups like the John Birch Society are pushing to defund the UNPF. According to the JBS:
The propaganda from the UNFPA (known as the United Nations Fund for Population Activities from 1969 to 1987) indicates that its programs do nothing more than “reduce poverty and ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.” And how does the UNFPA accomplish such lofty-sounding goals? By promoting “family planning,” access to abortions, and instituting sex-ed programs, especially for youth.…
So, instead of promoting policies that would delay marriage and childbearing for the poverty-stricken of many countries, the UNFPA encourages promiscuity. Instead of abstinence training, a sexual revolution is advanced. And, instead of telling teens the truth about free sex, they hype the glories of condom use that afford little or no protection from sexually transmitted diseases rampant in many third world countries. Shockingly, the UN’sanswer to gender discrimination and sex selection brought about by the one-child policy is “safe” abortions.
Fortunately, the U.S. House of Representatives Relations Committee has introduced HR 2059, which defunds the United Nations Population Fund. The legislation has 83 cosponsors and is said to save taxpayers $400 million.
What’s clear is that the American people must act quickly as civilized nations are beginning to act in accordance with the UN’s drive for population control. In the United Kingdom, for example, the Daily Mail reports that thousands of “abnormal babies” are being selectively aborted each year. This is expected behavior in a world where population control takes center stage.
P.S.-
By the way I dont have any problem with population control as long as it is in the hands of the couples or women and NOT the government. Hey you want to have 16 kids go for it as long as you can support that many kids and dont expect the tax payers to pay for them. If you have too many and cant take care of them, please give them up for adoption. I am so angry and upset at these mothers that have children and end up abusing them or killing them because they cant cope. There are many couples out there just waiting for a child.
On the latest video I saw he was saying that this policy wasnt supposed to come out until next year but he told them to do it in a week but this wasnt politcal yea right...seems there's an election coming up wonder why he thinks we might think it is political...hmmm.

I am so angry and upset at these mothers that have children and end up abusing them or killing them because they cant cope. There are many couples out there just waiting for a child.

Bee Article -
Bees have been dying off around the world for a decade now from a phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD. A third of the U.S. food supply depends on the honeybee
The collapse of bee colonies is probably multifactorial, rather than a response to one type of toxic assault; one major factor is the toxicity of systemic pesticides, such as Clothianidin (made by Bayer)
One Colorado beekeeper named Tom Theobald exposed the EPA’s complicity with Bayer in allowing Clothianidin to market without honeybee safety studies
An average of six different pesticides were found in hives across the country, with one hive testing positive for 31 different pesticides, in one recent study
More than 75 percent of the honey on American supermarket shelves is not honey at all, but rather an ultra-processed mixture of sugar-water, malt sweeteners, corn or rice syrup, jaggery, barley malt sweetener and other additives, smuggled in from China and tainted with illegal antibiotics and heavy metals, such as lead

I went, I saw and I conquered...
Well not really but I did go to therapy again today. Boy oh boy did she hurt me but I can move my shoulder better tonight. I have to go back on Wednesday and got new exercises to do tomorrow as well. Yippee...yuck.
Our chickens are giving us about two eggs every other day and look like they are out of molt now. Our friendliest one, Lucy, also known as Lucy-Goosey, has a new trick. Hubby likes to go out and pick her up and she must like it too because if you dont pay attention to her she pecks your leg. Anyway she was being held by said Hubby when she flapped her wings and flew up and landed on his shoulder. She is a character. She also has gotten up onto his head before and pecked (very lightly) his hair. She has pecked my leg before if I dont pay attention to her too but she likes Hubby better I think LOL.
We had severe storms last night and there is still flooding in parts around our area. I guess the almanac was right when they said we were going to have a wet winter. I sure wish that some of the rain would hold off until summer though cause that is when we really need it.
Talk to ya later!

Well that went well...
Went to therapy and they hurt me. I expected that though so no problems. I got diagrams of the exercises I am to do twice a day. My shoulder actually doesnt hurt so much this evening especially after I did a second set of exercises but boy did that wear me out so off to beddy bye for me. I know its late but I had to catch up on some of this work cause those darn fairies did not do anything while I was away today. I'm up early in the morning to work some more (gotta pay for that therapy).
We're getting some storms blowing in tonight and tomorrow morning. Hope everyone is not getting too much snow where you are!
Just checked my stats. Sure do have a lot of people from the US that read my blog along with people from Russia, France and Germany and many other countries. It really is a small world isnt it? I appreciate each and every one of you that read my blog. Dont all be lurkers though, let me know what's on your mind.
Sleep Tight!

Does it hurt here?....
Yep I broke down and went to the doc yesterday. Finally after three months of dealing with my shoulder/arm I went. He gave me a steroid shot in my bursa which if you dont know is the cushion between your shoulder and arm. He had to pull down on my arm to get in there and today it is seriously hurting big time. I have to go to therapy today in a few hours which will hurt just getting there as I have a stick shift. Doc said I have a frozen shoulder. I really hoped to avoid that. In 2008 I had adhesive capsulitis on my left arm and went through the same thing only I could move it less but this time I kept doing my exercises so I could move my right arm and shoulder a little. Bursitis hurts. Doesnt matter which joint its in. I hope that the therapist can work it out cause if they cant and it just keeps getting worse then I will have to go to a surgeon. The surgeon will knock me out and manipulate it. I would be out of commission for at least two weeks...sigh.
You hit 50 and its all downhill LOL.

ALERT -- Europe Bans X-Ray Body Scanners Used at U.S. Airports
The European Commission has banned X-ray body scanners that use “backscatter” radiation technology from airports, “in order to not risk jeopardizing citizens’ health and safety” – but they are still in use in the United States
Backscatter X-ray scanners expose your body to ionizing radiation, which causes cumulative DNA damage that can lead to cancer
Because the scanners’ X-ray beams are concentrated on your skin, not distributed throughout the volume of your entire body, there is concern that the dose to your skin could be dangerously high
The former Homeland Security chief and co-author of the PATRIOT Act, Michael Chertoff, is one of the primary promoters of full-body scanners, and is a paid consultant for the companies that sell them
You always have the right to opt-out of X-ray body scanners while traveling and can choose to have a pat-down instead; if enough people choose to opt-out, it may prompt the scanners to be removed from U.S. airports

Blog you need to check out!
http://www.radicallynatural.com/2011/10/salatin-on-value-of-real-food.html
I have to agree with her on this. It just irritates me when I see people say that they have to stop at fast food restaurants because they cant afford to buy real food in the supermarket... It is really easy to fix meals at home and it's not cheaper to buy fast food. Food tastes better when you make it yourself and if you think that the produce is more expensive in the supermarket then grow your own veggies. It's not hard. Anyone can do it. You dont have a backyard just grow some veggies in a pot on your back porch or front porch. You would be surprised how it tastes. Supermarket veggies taste like cardboard. I guarantee if you taste a real tomato that you've raised yourself or bought from a local farmer you will be amazed at how it tastes. As for the ones who say they have no time to cook, I really dont think you have time to be in the doctor's office either. You get more vitamins from food you cook yourself. That fast food that you love guess what, it doesnt spoil. Take a burger and let it hang out a while. You'll see. It doesnt mold. You're putting that in your body. Gross! The cheese isnt real cheese. And if you grow your own food you wont have to worry about salmonella. It just makes sense to grow your own.
This is just my opinion, any one else have anything to say about this? Just leave a comment - glad to hear from all of you out there! ;)

Natural Home and Garden GMO info...
10/13/2011 2:36:46 PM
October is National Non-GMO Month. Last October marked the first Non-GMO Month, celebrated by almost 600 natural food retailers across the United States. This year, to help spread awareness about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and to help promote Non-GMO month, Nature’s Path, maker of organic cereals, bars and waffles, created an infographic to help explain the basics of GMOs.
What are GMOs?
Genetically Modified Organisms are experimental plants or animals that have been genetically engineered in a laboratory with DNA from other plants, animals, bacteria and viruses.
Why GMOs?
There are two main reasons:
1. Seed producers modify their seed to make it resistant to their brand of herbicide.
2. Seed producers modify plants to contain built-in pesticides.
GMO ingredients are found in 80 percent of packaged foods in the U.S. GMO crops are also added to processed foods such as oils, sweeteners and soy proteins, and in things like amino acids, aspartame, vitamin C, flavorings (natural and artificial), maltodextrins and more.
Genetically Modified Crops Grown in the U.S.
Percentage of each crop that is GMO (2010):
Soy: 93 percent
Cotton: 93 percent
Corn: 86 percent
Canola: 90 percent
Labeling and Bans
NO: The United States and Canada do not require labeling of genetically engineered foods.
YES: In 40 countries, including Australia, Japan and all European Union nations there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs because they are not considered proven safe.
Health
GMOs have not been proven safe. The long-term consequences of GMOs on our health and environment have not been adequately investigated.
Avoiding GE Ingredients
Organic Food: The USDA Certification states that “the use of genetically engineered organisms and their products are prohibited at any stage in organic production, processing or handling.”
Non-GMO Project Verified Products
Products bearing this seal have undergone independent testing to ensure they have been made according to best practices for GE avoidance.

Fluoride
Here is an article I found very interesting:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/10/11/dr-bill-osmunson-on-fluoride.aspx?e_cid=20111011_DNL_art_1
Here is an excerpt:
China, in contrast, does NOT allow water fluoridation because it's too toxic and causes damage, according to their studies. Instead, the waste product from their phosphate fertilizer industry is shipped to the United States, where we add it to our water supply!
This is a very important point: the fluoride added to your water is NOT pharmaceutical grade. It's a toxic industrial waste product, which is also contaminated with lead, arsenic, radionucleotides, aluminum and other industrial contaminants.
About 75 percent of Americans get fluoridated water, and just over 65 percent have artificially fluoridated water with hydrofluorosilicic acid; the toxic waste product from phosphate industries. Meanwhile, naturally occurring fluoride is found in many water supplies, especially in volcanic regions and areas with harder water.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not distinguish between these two types of fluoride, but they should.
Naturally occurring fluoride in hard water areas often has a calcium fluoride. Calcium and fluoride bond very well and are not absorbed well by your body. Hydrofluorosilicic acid, on the other hand, dissolves easier and is absorbed by your body at a greater rate.
Natural calcium fluoride is about 1,000 times less toxic than hydrofluorosilicic acid or sodium fluoride, and this is because your body can't absorb nearly as much. (Note: Sodium fluoride is pharmaceutical grade fluoride, which is used in most studies, but NOT the kind added to water supplies.)
My thoughts: We quit using fluoride toothpaste years ago and we now are using a Berkey filter system even to cook our food in. You got to admit the government is mainly for the government not for the people any more. Where we lived when I was growing up we didnt have fluoride in the water but when we moved our water system did have fluoride. Seems funny but my brother and I never did have problems with our teeth until years later. We didnt even go to the dentist until I was 12 years old. Dentist couldnt believe that we went that long without getting our teeth looked at but we didnt have any problems so why go? We brushed our teeth with toothpaste with fluoride in it and drank the water with fluoride in it and after 10 years had cavities...hmmm correlation? Now there are all sorts of chemicals in our drinking water even if you use well water your water is contaminated with all the chemicals people put into their bodies and when it flushes out where to you suppose it goes? Then it not only gets in our ground water but is also showing up in our food supply. Farmers use city water as well. Fluoride is in the water that the animals drink and vegetables get some too. Just something to think about.
Besides the water with floride in it tastes icky and that's my scientific opinion ;)
Talk to ya later!
