Lithium Health Hazards:::
Effects of exposure to Lithium: Fire: Flammable. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Explosion: Risk of fire and explosion on contact with combustible substances and water. Inhalation: Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed. Skin: Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Blisters. Eyes: Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. Ingestion: Abdominal cramps. Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Nausea. Shock or collapse. Vomiting. Weakness.

Effects of short-term exposure: the substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of the substance may cause lung oedema. the symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.

Routes of exposure: the substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Inhalation risk: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Chemical dangers: Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion. the substance may spontaneously ignite on contact with air when finely dispersed. Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed. Reacts violently with strong oxidants, acids and many compounds (hydrocarbons, halogens, halons, concrete, sand and asbestos) causing fire and explosion hazard. Reacts violently with water, forming highly flammable hydrogen gas and corrosive fumes of lithium hydroxide.

First there are two kinds of fluoride, first occurs naturally, calcium fluoride.
second, the kind they add to our water supply, sodium fluoride. the later is what i am talking about.

Fluoride has been shown to be a toxin, and there are no real studies that show it is good for teeth. yet they add it to drinking water – and this is why I drink bottled, filtered water.

I've never heard of anyone actively adding lithium to drinking water.

They also put Dihydrogen Monoxide in our water supply, and a LOT of it. It's responsible for thousands of deaths a year.

Who is adding lithium to the water supply?

no, but Yonana's is.

no! not good. locally we defeated a measure to fluoridate our water. turns out the whole thing, which gained a surprising amount of support at first, was tracked back to one individual that doesn't even live in our town. but he was a dentist. but then he'd never touched a tooth after dental school. after he was exposed as a rep for a shady business group we beat the measure soundly. the nazis used fluoride in their concentration camps to keep the people docile. it also causes learning disorders.

as for lithium, i once lived by a natural lithium spring. we kept jugs of the wild, "free range water" at home for drinking. it does have an effect, but it's not something i want intentionally added to my water. i can see it now, "oh, we didn't have the needed supplies so we substituted a different chemical with similar properties (that we just happened to have laying around)."
