EPA’s proposed ban of sulfuryl fluoride concerns rice industry

  • Sulfuryl fluoride is used by the rice industry as a fumigant and targeted for elimination by the EPA.

USA Rice Federation members met with staff from the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pesticide Programs and staff from EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's office.  The group expressed their concerns to EPA officials over the agency's proposed ban on sulfuryl fluoride, used by the rice industry as a fumigant and targeted for elimination by the EPA.  Elimination of sulfuryl fluoride would leave rice mills with no major fumigant for structural fumigation.

Fluoride is worse for you in your food, as it absorbs in your digestive tract for around 36 hours. If 50% of what you drink is absorbed and stored into your skeletal structure, then how much does your body absorb when you eat and digest it? Example of Fluoride in food: Fluoride sprayed rice as it absorbs the chemical in the field, and then as it gets boiled in fluoridated drinking water. Rice may be sprayed with 70 ppm [70,000 ppb] Sulfuryl Fluoride [drinking water Max Contaminant Level for Fluoride is 4,000 ppb]. Rice has been found that contains around 37 ppm. That means the rice is absorbing MORE THAN HALF of all the Fluoride sprayed on it, both in Fluoridated waste water for irrigation, in regular applications (which saturate the rice) and the sprayings of Fluoride pesticides, such as Sulfuryl Fluoride and Cryolite (Na3AlF6, sodium hexafluoroaluminate).
37 ppm = 37,000 parts per billion. If over 4,000 ppb causes Crippling Skeletal Fluorisis, then how much rice can I eat on what basis before my bones collapse?
Note, Fluoride levels Lahore, Pakistan are at 5 -29 ppm, and the people there have crippling skeletal fluorosis, those who can afford it are having skeletal surgery, the rest lay down and die as their hip bones and vertebrae crumble inside of them.
MAY GOD BLESS HIS CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM FROM FLUORIDE, IN JESUS’ NAME.
People on well water wonder why Fluoride is present in their drinking water. How can they have Fluoride in their drinking water, they are on a well? They are reassured that it is “Naturally Occuring,” when in fact it is ground-water contamination, just like lead and mercury. They show up same reason that Nitrates appear; they are toxic waste by-products of the Phosphate Fertilizer industry [such Mosaic]. Fluoride and Nitrates are both listed on municipal water repors as “fertilizer discharge / fertilizer run-off.” Municipalities use Hexafluorisilicic acid, a toxic waste byproduct from the Phosphate Fertilizer industry. When municipilaties fluoridate, the unprocessed toxic waste solution contains other fertilizer discharges; such as Nitrates. The average household uses 43 gallons of water per day [washing machines, dishwashers, toilet flushings, showers, etc…] If they drink 3 gallons of water per day, then 40 out of 43 gallons of now Fluoridated water returns to the waste water treatment plant. After the sludge process, 2/3 of the fluoridated waste water is used for farm irrigation. If you have a well nearby, the fluoride soaks right into it. The pesticide they use contains HIGH amounts of Fluoride, 70 parts per million / 70,000 parts per billion.

If you’re on a well and surrounded by farmers
using Repackaged Toxic Waste from the Phosphate Fertilizer Industry in the form of the pesticides Sulfuryl Fluoride or ‘Cryolite’ (Na3AlF6, sodium hexafluoroaluminate), make sure you use a Reverse Osmosis system to protect your family’s drinking water. Aslo, Nitrogen poisoning is a real threat to your children.
The Fertilizer industry produces Fluoride. It is toxic waste that the Environmenal Protection Agency forbids to be released into rivers, lakes, or the air. Yet they recommend us to put 900-1200 ppb in our drinking water for ‘cavity prevention.’ After it gets dispersed abroad into the public drinking supply, it returns to the sewarge plant where it is then released into the water [about 1/3 of communities dump it right into the river]
into the air [sprayed on crops for irrigation]
Into the food and into the atmosphere [Sulfury Fluoride and Cryolite pesticides]

And that’s how the E.P.A. harms the human and pollutes the envirnment, as it contaminates our food, our drinking water, and slowly kills our loved ones. And the Fertilizer industry has clean hands, because they sold their fertilizer AND socially washed their toxic waste through ADA and the EPA, and these people reccommended it to the public. They sell their toxic waste in 55 gallon drums to our municipalities. They sell their repackaged toxic waste to the farmers which the EPA administration approved, deaf to the cries of their own scientists, and claim it’s safe, even though the EPA says it’s more toxic than LEAD] They sell their toxic waste to our Mayors in the name of cavity prevention, and after it is been socially sanitized and we suffer, our water treatment facilities send it out to the farmers where they spray it on our food. It goes to the Dentist for Fluoride tretments [which yellow your teeth, weaken the enamel, and causes pitting and staining], and the American Dental Association upholds it, and affirms it prevents cavities, while the FDA makes them warn the public that their product yellows teeth, while the ADA fires its board members who oppose Fluoride. Then, It goes into the tubes of toothpaste, who just want the label that says it meets the ADA approval as an anti-cavity toothpaste. And who $upport$ the ADA?
America is getting sick because corrupt officials who are supposed to be watching out for our health are in the pocket of chemical corporations; and they are instead their spokesmen while they assure the public of the safety of letahl chemicals [Fluoride, ammonium hydroxide, BPA, and more]. Lobbyists are good, but if you own the FDA, the ADA and the EPA, who needs an advertising agency? The FDA assures people BPA is safe, while Sunaco refuses to sell the chemical used to make it to any company intending to use it in a baby bottle of food product. And Canada and the U.K. ban it. Again, the EPA reccomends Fluoridation, the U.K. makes it a crime to put in anybody’s drinking water or food.

The FDA make Crest Pro-health issue a tooth-yellowing warning on its product, and no one wants to tell its customers that it’s because of the Fluoride. Tom’s tooth paste offers an ‘all natural’ tube of Fluoride-Free toothpaste for its customers “because [they] want to respect [their] customer’s diverse needs and interests.” They do not say much about the adversity of fluoride, for they sell it in the rest of their toothpastes. They don’t want to lose the concerned consumer, so they discretely adverise this product without saying anything bad about the Fluoride, lest they lose their other customers.
