Mr. Nidel received a masters degree in chemical engineering from M.I.T. and went work work for one of the largest and most respected pharmaceutical companies in the world. He quickly realized that his own values and morals were often in sharp conflict with those of his employer. This tension ultimately drove Chris to leave his engineering career to attend law school.

After receiving his J.D. from the University of Virginia, Chris went to work with Baron and Budd in Dallas, Texas. After a few years in Texas, Chris returned to Washington, D.C. and in 2006 opened his own law practice. He currently runs his own firm, Nidel Law, PLLC specializing in environmental, chemical, and pharmaceutical litigation. Mr. Nidel has taken a lead on representing people who have been injured as a result of water fluoridation, and filed the first case in the country against companies selling bottled water with added fluoride that failed to warn about the risks of dental fluorosis.

Mr. Nidel supports Moms Against Fluoridation and cares deeply about helping people, helping those who have been harmed and seeking justice for the injured.

Dr. Sauerheber is a medical research scientist and educator at Palomar Community College, San Marcos, California.   He completed his PhD in Chemistry in 1976 from the University of California, San Diego.  He studied at the UCSD School of Medicine and became a Research Associate at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, CA.
 
Dr. Sauerheber was awarded a lifetime teaching credential for the California Community Colleges in 1982 and later became a professor of physiology at Palomar. He was a principal investigator for the National Institutes of Health and supervised the research laboratory of the Rees Stealy Clinic Research Foundation for 10 years. He published 30 full research articles in scientific journals on diabetes, insulin action, and cell membrane function, and five books on diverse topics in science including discoveries in Calculus, and the nature of light. He collaborated and published with many world-reknown scientists.
 
Recently, Dr. Sauerheber’s articles on the toxicology of fluoridated water in man and racehorses were published in Journal of Environmental and Public Health and the journal Fluoride.  
 
As an expert in chemistry, Dr. Sauerheber is well aware of the vast harm this misguided public policy of medicating the water supply with a powerful chemical waste stream which is capable of effecting physiology on vast levels. These government officials that knowingly suppress the science and manipulate the data and hide the truth should be held to account.

Animals matter!  Cathy Justus had some bad experiences with fluoridated water making her animals sick.  Cathy was raised by very conscious parents who valued health  and personal responsibility giving her the same ethos.  

After moving to gorgeous Pagosa Springs, CO in 1978 with her husband, they knew they could continue to raise and show award winning Quarter Horses giving them the clean mountain water and the best nutrition.  All was fine for many years.  Cathy attended to the feed and pure water with method and with good intent.  Her animals were healthy.  

Unbeknownst to Cathy, fluoridation of her water supply initiated in 1985.  Their horses and dogs started getting  sick.  Slowly they got sicker and sicker and their diverse ailments  grew amongst her herd and her dogs.  She could not figure out what was happening.  It was weird.  It was odd.  

Finally, she put two and two together and started to question the water supply.  Ultimately 8 horses and 4 dogs of Cathy's died.

Cathy's horses were some of the first to ever be diagnosed with chronic fluoride poisoning from artificially fluoridated water.  Vets, like doctors are not taught that fluoridation chemicals effect physiology and can contribute or cause many varied ailments and disease complexes that this systemic poison and intentional medication can create.

Cathy is now active in educating people everywhere about the lurking and sneaky dangers that these tasteless and odorless chemicals added to the water can cause to our four-legged friends.

Dr. Hirzy earned both his honors undergraduate and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Missouri.

In 1962 he joined the Organic Research Department of Monsanto Chemical Co. and there developed several commercially successful products, receiving 9 U.S. patents.  He later transferred to the Environmental Management team in Monsanto's Plasticizer Business group in 1978.

In 1981 he was hired as Senior Scientist-Risk Assessment by the Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances, USEPA Headquarters.  Bill was an organizer and charter member  of the professionals labor union at United States EPA Headquarters, serving many terms as president and in other offices of the union's Executive Board.

Along with Robert J. Carton PhD, who also was a charter member and union president, they developed and fought management to establish EPA's Principles of Scientific Integrity.  Dr. Carton led the union's activities challenging EPA's lack of integrity regarding fluoride toxicity assessment until 1992, when he retired from the Agency and passed that role onto Dr. Hirzy.  Dr. Hirzy took over that role as 'watchdog' until his retirement in 2008.

Professor Hirzy has taught chemistry for nearly 30 years including the last 11 years at American University in Washington D.C., part of that time while employed by our EPA.  Professor Hirzy taught chemistry and environmental risk assessment as a full time faculty member up until 2013, when he retired from teaching. Today Dr. Hirzy is committed to helping educate people about the substantial harm to human health that ingested fluorides are causing.
