Excellent article. Ideas:
1) Replace lead water mains. Ship old lead mains if reusable to USA military artillery.
2) cronometer.com is an excellent nutritional calculator to make sure to stay below vitamin A upper limits, zinc upper limits and enough iron and calcium
3) encourage everyone to use ProLab Lead Surface Test Kits to test all of their belongings shoes, toys, cords, alarm clocks, etc
4) rebuild lead painted houses AND watch out for OLD O U T D O O R plumbing
This is what Snyder his DEQ and HIS Water Company that took over the Flint Water system is hiding!!!
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1986-05-13/news/8602050015_1_dioxin-pollution-lake-huron-lake-michigan
There was information about the Dioxins in the Flint River on the MIDEQ web site BUT it was deleted!!!!! WHY?????
With all the information that the Flint River is contaminated with Dioxins WHY did Snyder approve pumping water from it,, WHEN HIS water company was to pump from Lake Heron? Cost cutting to put more money into his pockets!!!
http://veteransinfo.org/aoinfo.html
It seems that with Snyder AG investigating, with documents already missing and information on the internet being deleted that a BIG cover up is going on!!!!
AND WHY is the News media NOT reporting any of this!!!
Just goggle Vietnam kids Agent Orange and you will see what Snyder did to the people of flint!!!
And what about ALL the people that stop in Flint and drank the water????
