Press Release Summary = As heat waves continue to grip the nation, people are
advised to drink extra water and avoid dehydration. This advice comes with a hefty
healthcare price, especially if you have autoimmune diseases like MS, Fibromyalgia
or diabetes. Tap water contains chemical additives that are harmful to the
autoimmune population. With one out of twenty women in the U.S. having an autoimmune
disease, heat waves create a healthcare epidemic.

Press Release Body = South Jordan, Utah -- The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has
advised anyone with a compromised immune system to consult their physician before
drinking tap water. Healthy Divas, an organization dedicated to educating people
about autoimmunity, has taken this warning one step further by advising individuals
with autoimmune disease to avoid tap water altogether.

According to Heidi Whitaker, co-founder of Healthy Divas, "As the temperature rises,
our clients complain of increasing autoimmune symptoms. These include heart
palpitations, numbness, relentless fatigue, and pain. The first thing we ask is if
they have increased their consumption of fluoridated tap water, as those symptoms
are often indicative of fluoride toxicity."

Healthy Divas is not alone in these findings. Dr. George L. Waldbott, using
double-blind tests, was able to determine that fluoridated water causes muscular
weakness, chronic fatigue, headaches, skin rashes, joint pain, and tingling in the
extremities.

According to the Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products handbook, "Fluoride is
more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic." The
Physicians Desk Reference reads, \"in hypersensitive individuals, fluorides
occasionally cause skin eruptions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria.
Gastric distress, headache, and weakness have also been reported.\"

With vast evidence showing that fluoride is connected to numerous health issues, why
is it still added to our drinking water? "Fluoridation of municipal tap water is
voluntary at the state or community level," states Kathy Browning, co-founder of
Healthy Divas. "I can't comprehend why they still add fluoride. Since the 1950's,
research has proven time and again that it is unsafe. I do know that when our
clients eliminate fluoride, many of their symptoms are alleviated."

Whitaker adds, "When speaking at conferences, attendees are shocked to learn the
damage fluoride causes, particularly to those with lupus and diabetes. One of the
first things we educate our clients about is the dangerous effects of fluoride."

Besides tap water, fluoride can be found in toothpaste, certain vitamins, black and
green tea, and most insecticides. Healthy Divas is now embarking on a national
campaign to educate consumers about the issue of fluoridated water and provide
solutions to help them eliminate this unnecessary toxin from their lives.

Facing a potential healthcare crisis due to record heat waves, Healthy Divas has
elected to be proactive and provide a complimentary copy of their new ebook,
"Conquering Autoimmunity", available to visitors at their www.healthydivas.com
website. Browning states, "We believe it is our responsibility to educate our
visitors and help them regain control of their health. Eliminating toxins like
fluoride is a big part of the process."
