0:06:54 Steven L. McNeal, Public Comment
Mr. McNeal of 257 East Baxter Lane, provided a document that says 4000 professionals have

when the EPA has said that fluoride is a toxin and a poison. Mr. McNeal said that cows are fed
fluoride in feed lots to keep them tranquilized. Mr. McNeal said the city is knowingly adding
2of12
Bozeman Commission Minutes for March 26, 2012
fluoride to the water even though it is a known toxic. He further spoke regarding his views
regarding fluoride.
0:09:40 Patricia Hawkins,Public Comment
Ms. Hawkins of 2745 Cattail Street, Unit B spoke in opposition of fluoride in city water. She
read aloud from an article regarding a water plant accident when fluoride was spilled. Crews had
to use a number of difficult measures to stop the leak. This same fluoride is added to drinking
water across the nation. Ms. Hawkins spoke further about her views and said the toxic spill she
referred to is proof that fluoride should not be added.
0:12:58 Kelly Ste_yens, Public Comment
Ms. Stevens of 119 Julia Martin Drive spoke against fluoride in the city water. She said she is an
advocate for her children and should be able to decide what medication her children,ingest. Ms.
Stevens spoke further about her views to make decisions for her children.
0:14:22 Matt Kelley,Public Comment
Mr. Kelley, Health Officer with Gallatin City-County Health Department and parent of two said
the City-County Board of Health voted unanimously on Thursday to send a letter to the City
Commission in strong support of the current policy of the city to fluoridate the water. Mr. Kelley
said there is overwhelming scientific evidence that water fluoridation is a safe and effective
means of oral health. Mr. Kelley read from one of a number of reports issued by the US Surgeon
General that says community water fluoridation is an affective, safe and ideal public health
measure. He also read from the American Dental Association review of evidence that says after
60 years of research the preponderance of the evidence says that fluoridation of the water supply
is safe and effective. Mr. Kelley referred to studies that show fluoridation of water reduces tooth
decay by at least 20 to 40%, mostly in children. Studies also show that$1 in fluoridation results
in$26 in savings on medical costs.
0:18:19 Peggy Layman,Public Comment
Ms. Layman from Gallatin Gateway, Box 324 said she is against fluoridation in the water. She
said that Europe does not allow fluoridation in the water. She referred to studies that compare
fluoridated cities with non-fluoridated and she says there is not a difference in cavities. She also
spoke regarding the source of the fluoride in the water and asked where is it mined and what the
results are of testing for any impurities. She firmly believes that we have the right to access to
un-medicated drinking water. If someone wants to fluoridate,why can't they take it in a vitamin?
0:20:57 Erin.Robbins, Public Comment
Ms. Robbins of 620 East ? said the awareness of fluoridation in the Country is growing. This is
not something you can dose, and exposure is all over the map. Ms. Robbins asked who would be
held accountable if someone gets sick.
0:22:20 Tyler Waltston, High Street,Public Comment
Mr. Waltston of 285 High East Street in Belgrade said he appreciated all the people here giving
their time to bring this issue to a debate. Fluoridation was passed in the '50s and '60's but he
asked how many of the studies were in conjunction with fluoride in toothpaste. He asked if this is
a medication for medical reasons, shouldn't medical grade fluoride be used. 99.5% of the water
3 of 12
Bozeman Commission Minutes for March 26, 2012
that we do not drink is fluoridated and he asked where that fluoride goes. Mr. Waltston spoke
further about his views on this issue.
0:25:36 Dr. Bill Fraser, Public Comment
Dr. Fraser of? is a dentist that practiced in Bozeman from 1975 to 2011. He spoke regarding
raising his children on the Bozeman water supply and being very happy as that benefitted them
greatly. Fluoridation of water has been used in the United States for 60 years and has proven out
to be a very effective and safe product. He spoke regarding a large number of professional
organizations that endorse fluoridation. He said two-thirds of the United States water supply is
fluoridated. Dr. Fraser said when he was president of the Montana Dental Association he
sponsored a forum addressing the issue of access to care and rampant dental decay. They found
that education and nutrition along with fluoridation helped to greatly decrease the amount of
decay. He spoke further about his views in support of fluoridation in the water.
0:28:13 Dr. Danielle Sweeterman, Pub_lic Comment
Dr. Sweeterman of 3201 Laredo Drive is a Bozeman dentist and spoke in favor of public water
fluoridation. She said she has been doing school screenings at a number of the areas in Bozeman
and outside of Bozeman in Montana and there is an appreciable notice in the condition of the
teeth of children in Bozeman with fluoridated water and condition of teeth of children who do
not have public fluoridated water with much more decay happening in children outside of the
Bozeman water supply.
0:29:11 Mary Cates Public Comment
Ms. Cates of 125 Sypes Canyon Road, said she is a survivor of the Grand Rapids Michigan
Fluoridation Study. She says she was poisoned in the 1950's and her uncle was one of the
primary administrators of the Public Health Department giving credence to the study. Ms. Cates
said the experiment was to see how much poisonous fluoride a population could absorb and not
have immediate affects. She said her uncle felt guilty when he saw the physical ramifications of
the study in his own family. Ms. Cates listed health problems her family has experienced. She
spoke in detail regarding this study and the political campaign she says was used to cover things
up. Ms. Cates asked that the Commission consider their ability to stop fluoridating in Bozeman.
0:33:12 Leslie Crotheir,Public Comment
Ms. Grotheir, ?Michael Grove Road spoke regarding other factors that go into dental health
besides fluoride in the water such as diet, access to dental care, fluoride in toothpaste and
education. She spoke regarding redirecting the cost of fluoridation towards other dental health
efforts for children and lower income populations that does not violate the constitutional rights of
citizens of Bozeman. She listed other cities in Montana that do not fluoridate. She also spoke
regarding the lack of dosage control with fluoride in the water. She says she cannot put a system
in her home that will 100%remove fluoride from the water and mentioned that there are other
ways to get fluoride.
0:35:50 Jeremy Wilson Public Comment
Mr. Wilson of 3131 ? in Bozeman said he and his wife own their own business affiliated with a
Japanese health care technology company and he has put a great deal of research into health and
wellness. He advocates for Healthy Child, Healthy World whose mission is to educate
communities about toxins in the environment. He spoke regarding a World Health Organization
4of12
Bozeman Commission Minutes for March 26, 2012
report that babies are born with over 2,000 chemicals in their body in the United States on
Average. Mr. Wilson then spoke further about studies from the EPA that says many
pharmaceuticals are in the drinking supply. He asked what is being done to prevent those
pharmaceuticals from entering the water supply. Mr. Wilson's main concern is that we are
already being administered pharmaceuticals and we are adding more chemicals to it. He spoke
regarding absorption of chemicals through skin contact and spoke further about pharmaceutical
use.
0:39:36 Rvbert_Branson,Public Comment
Mr. Branson of 403 South 3rd spoke regarding leaders trying to do the best they know how for
their community but that sometimes further scientific study has shown some decisions to not be
in the best interest of the community. He spoke regarding differences between studies done by
corporations and those not done by corporations. Mr. Branson spoke regarding other chemicals
that we thought were safe that we learned later were not safe. Mr. Branson shared his views
further saying the idea is not whether fluoride is good or bad but whether the city has a right to
force fluoride on individuals.
0:42:42 Ellen Visser, Public Comment
Ms. Visser of 307 South Black, a recent college graduate with an interest in science and public
health spoke in favor of fluoridation in the water and said it would be a major disappointment if
Bozeman decided to take it out of the water supply.
0:43:13 Dr. Susan Daniels,Public Comment
Dr. Daniels is a pediatrician at Acorn Pediatrics, 280 West Kagy Boulevard. Dr. Daniels said she
was speaking on behalf of herself, all the pediatricians and nurse practitioners in their group and
the 4,000 kids in the Gallatin Valley that call their practice their medical home. She spoke in
favor of fluoridation in the water saying that every time they see kids for well child appointments
they check their oral health. They see a very stark difference between those children that drink
Bozeman fluoridated water and those who do not have access to fluoridated water. The kids that
have fluoridation in the water have much less tooth decay and much less severe tooth decay.
Tooth decay in small children causes a lot of suffering. She spoke further about what they are
seeing. She spoke in favor of fluoridation in the water supply.
0:45:31 Amy Kevin,Public Comment
Ms. Kevin of 213 North Plum Avenue said she is a holistic health and nutrition student. She
spoke regarding differences between sodium fluoride which is what is placed in the water supply
and the essential mineral calcium fluoride which is present in hard water. She said sodium
fluoride is a bi-product of fifty industries including mining and the nuclear industry. She spoke
regarding accumulation of sodium fluoride in the body causing toxicity and listed associated
diseases and symptoms and risks within society. She said calcium fluoride is found naturally in
nature and is more soluble and less toxic than sodium fluoride. She spoke regarding cities that
have ended their fluoride programs. She listed the cities in Montana that are fluoride free. She
asked that the Commission discontinue the fluoride program.
0:48:43 Doctor Jason Tanzuay, Public comment
Dr. Tanguay of 72 Kimball Avenue thanked the Commission for listening. Dr. Tanguay spoke
regarding the question of concentration. Fluoride is naturally occurring in Bozeman's water
5of12
Bozeman:Commission Minutes for March 26, 2012
supply and what we are adding is even less than what is naturally occurring in some communities
in Gallatin County and the city is just boosting the fluoride level to a level for optimum health.
Dr. Tanguay said he is a father and is thankful his daughter can grow up in a fluoridated
community. He further spoke regarding growing up in a community without fluoridation and
having a mouthful of dental decay. He is one of the few providers that sees children in the
Bozeman area that have Medicaid insurance and does work under general anesthesia on children
with rampant tooth decay on all their teeth. He spoke about the suffering they go through and
said that tooth decay is the number one reason for school absences. Dr. Tanguay spoke
regarding the risks of general anesthesia, and how these surgeries could be completely avoidable
with a minor public health effort(fluoridation).
0:51:15 Richard Shafsky,Public Comment
Richard Shafsky of? Sypes Canyon Road read from the Merck manual and Harrison's Principles
of Internal Medicine which refers to sodium fluoride as a poison. Mr. Shafsky referred to and
submitted 50 peer reviewed articles that have citations to sodium fluoride. Mr. Shafsky said the
articles say sodium fluoride is dangerous to our health. He then spoke regarding drug facts
posted on fluoride toothpaste packages. Mr. Shafsky asked the Commission to reconsider water
fluoridation.
0:54:59 Chrissie Deboer,Public Comment
Ms. Deboer of?Michael Grove said she is against fluoridation in the Bozeman water system
saying fluoride is a medication and she should be able to choose what she puts into her body.
She said she has the condition hypoadrenalism. For this condition she must drink pure water free
of fluoride as the heavy medals in fluoride make her medical condition more severe. She spoke
regarding a study from the Journal of the American Dental Association from 2009 that she says
proves there is no significant difference in rates of tooth decay. She believes whether the
Commission members are for or against fluoridation she would like all the citizens to be able to
choose for themselves.
0:57:49 Mara Boustadt,Public Comment
Ms. Boustead of 4239 East Baseline Road, Belgrade began by quoting Martin Luther King Jr.
She then spoke saying that fluoride does not prevent, stop or cure disease. She provided the
symptoms and medical problems of skeletal fluorosis and spoke regarding the different stages of
the disease. Ms. Boustead said that early stages are hard to recognize and cases are often
misdiagnosed as other diseases. She read further about this disease. Ms. Boustead referred to the
high sugar content in American diets. She said teeth can be fixed, but arthritis cannot. She spoke
further about being forced to drink fluoride and wanting to make her own choices.
1:02:15 Dr. Jane Gillette,Public Comment
Dr. Gillette of 108 Village Downtown Blvd said she is representing the American Dental
Association,the Montana Dental Association the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and
herself. She is a scientific consultant and health policy consultant to the organizations mentioned
along with several others. As a clinical dentist she takes care of the most vulnerable persons in
society primarily outside of Bozeman because of the healthy population here, in part due to
community water fluoridation. Dr. Gillette explained what her day is like working on severe
dental decay in babies and small children in places like Glendive where the water is not
fluoridated. She said that simple things like brushing, reducing sugar and community water
6of12
Bozeman Commission Minutes for March 26, 2012
fluoridation can greatly improve the health of these vulnerable children. She also spoke
regarding visiting senior citizens that grew up before fluoridation and who now do not have any
teeth and how debilitating that can be. Dr. Gillette said fluoride is safe and effective and said
3000 large, independent population health studies back that up and that it naturally occurs in the
water. If you are strongly against community water fluoridation there are affective filters you
can install in your home.
1:05:27 Hans Dec, Public Comment
Mr. Dec (no address stated) said he would like to help motivate the Commission to make the
correct decision. Mr. Dec read statements from the city of Bozeman website about safe drinking
water and livability, saying those statements was laughable. He then read out of the Montana
Constitution, article 2, section 3. He does not feel the issue is teeth or fluoride. Mr. Dec said the
issue is that the Commission is responsible to operate under the constitution. He read the
Montana Recall Act from the Constitution and said he would hold the Commissioners
accountable.
1:09:14 Chanae Hole,Public Comment
Ms. Hole of 816 North 17th said she is a registered nurse in the state and she does not give
medications to people that do not want them. The choice is up to the patient. Fluoride is a
medication and she personally does not want it in her water and she should be respected to make
her own choice. Each individual should have the right to say no. She spoke further regarding
these views.
1:11:28 Joy Baker,Public Comment
Ms. Baker of North 4th Avenue said we are not talking about naturally occurring fluoride that is
being added to the water but rather hydrofluosilicic acid, a toxic waste compound. She said water
filters do not take fluoride out of water. Ms. Baker said that many dental authorities disagree
with each other on this topic. She read a statement from the website of a local dentist that says
fluoride is only helpful topically. Ms. Baker further spoke about fluoride as a toxic poison and
said the bottom line is that the city does not have the right to mass medicate citizens and spoke
further about these views.
1:14:40 Neil,Public Comment
Neil (did not state last name or address) said in relation to fluoride,the issue is beyond drinking
and was used in the 30's for hyper thyroidism as a bath. He said the American Dental
Association is against using fluoridated water in formula for babies. He read statements from
several groups and cited studies regarding fluoride.
1:18:12 Wolf. Public Comment
Wolf(did not state last name or full address) of Rifle Road said over 400 communities have
stopped putting fluoride within water. He then spoke regarding the Nazi Germany Nuremberg
Trials referring specifically to the Doctors Trial that found fluoridation as poisoning. Wolf then
said the city is violating the Code of Federal Regulations issued by the US Dept. Health and
Public Services by forcing water on the citizens that is fluoridated and are therefore committing a
crime against the Department of Health and Public Services. Mr. Wolf referred to the ten great
public health achievements from 1900 to 1999. Mr. Wolfe said the CDC has changed the level of
fluoride down. He quoted statements from the CDC website about long term, high exposure to
7of12
Bozeman Commission Minutes for March 26, 2012
fluoride and statements against using fluoridated water in baby formula. Mr. Wolf said the World
Health Organization has said high doses destroy teeth and accumulate in bones leading to
