Fluorosilicic Acid: The Silent Killer in Drinking Water

Water is essential for your survival because your organs and cells need it to function properly. According to scientists, the human body is made of about 70 percent water. Because your body is made of mostly water, the quality of the water you put in your body can significantly harm or improve your health.

Most of the drinking water in the United States (US) and many Western countries contain very toxic chemicals. Manufacturers of these chemicals claim that the chemicals are needed to treat the water and are important for health. Their claims are misleading and are only aimed for profits.

If you live in the US, a great portion of your drinking water is treated with a very toxic chemical called fluorosilicic acid, also known as hydrofluorosilicic acid. Hydrofluorosilicic acid is the diluted version of fluorosilicic acid. Other toxins found in US drinking water are arsenic, chlorine, sodium fluoride, lead, and pharmaceutical drugs. In very small levels, these toxins are not lethal. However, consuming them for long periods of time will cause them to accumulate in the body, causing chronic health problems later on in life. This is why they are known as the silent killers.

As mentioned at Organic-Gardening-and-HomeSteading.com.

Fluorosilicic acid is a waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry and is heavily contaminated with toxins and heavy metals (including the cancerous arsenic, lead and cadmium) and radioactive materials. This substance is the waste residue from the superphosphate fertilizer industry, and about 70 to 75 percent of this stuff comes from the Cargill fertilizer manufacturing company.

Dr. J. William Hirzy, EPA scientist, is reported to have said, “If the stuff gets out into the air, it’s a pollutant; if it gets into the river, it’s a pollutant, if it gets into a lake, it’s a pollutant; but if it goes right straight into your drinking water system, it’s not a pollutant. That’s amazing!”

Another very toxic chemical found in drinking water is hydrofluoric acid. Below is an excerpt from PreventDisease.com.

The fluoride added to 90% of drinking water is hydrofluoric acid which is a compound of fluorine that is a chemical byproduct of aluminum, steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing.

Hydrofluoric acid is used to refine high octane gasoline, to make fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons for freezers and air conditioners, and to manufacture computer screens, fluorescent light bulbs, semiconductors, plastics, herbicides, and toothpaste.

The toxic chemicals found in drinking water are so overwhelming that independent researchers have linked them to many chronic diseases. If you want to significantly improve your health, you will need to drink water free of toxic chemicals, including sodium fluoride, chlorine, lead, arsenic, hydrofluoric acid and fluorosilicic acid. The most convenient way to reduce most of these toxins is to use a water purification system that can remove most contaminants and sodium fluoride. Reverse osmosis and activated alumina water purification systems are usually recommended for removing these toxins. If you are interested in portable activated alumina water purification systems, I recommend the Royal Berkey with PF-2 fluoride filters.

    Very intresting article and I will be purchasing a filter but I was wondering if there was any water sold in the market that is free of these toxins

      As far as I know, there is no water in the market that is free of toxins. Water sold on the market, such as bottled water is just as bad as tap water. Below is an excerpt from an earlier article that I wrote about bottled water.

      Most bottled water that you buy at the store is not that much better than the water you drink from your faucet. The problem with the bottled water industry is that government standards are not very strict and these companies are usually self-regulated. Another major problem is that laws and regulations are not specific enough. Bottled water companies can easily manipulate their labels just like how the food industries can manipulate their labels. In many cases, chlorine is added to bottled water as a sanitizer to prevent organisms from breeding in the water. Chlorine is not dangerous in small amounts but it still affects your health and may cause health problems in the future. The chemical called phthalates found in plastic containers can leak into bottled water over time. High doses of phthalates have been known to disrupt hormones in rodents causing damages to the liver, testes and birth defects. According to the firm Research and Markets, 50 percent of bottled water sold in the market is processed tap water.

      Most water sold on the market doesn’t use filters that can effectively remove fluoride. Plus, a lot of the water are treated with chlorine.

        Can someone provide a list of bottled water brands that aren’t just tap water? I’ve heard Fiji is a good one, but I’m not positive.

      I just signed the petition “Stop Flouridating Tap Water” on Change.org.

      It’s important. Will you sign it too? Here’s the link:

      Thanks!

    I work in a water treatment facility and i have been with same employer for over sixteen years. I am not sure about how toxic this acid is but in the industry many including myself feel the risks and cost outweigh the possible benefits but the problem seems to be convincing those that have been around the industry longer and the politicians that encourage it’s use. In the facilities that i work in we use hydroflourosilic to help with tooth decay and orthophosphate for corrosion prevention, even when shown the cost savings this is not enough to change minds. I always say to people that when they go to the dentist and get a flouride treatment they are told to spit it out because the studies from the past were about application of flouride not the consumption of this acid.
