With expertise in fluoride toxicology, Michael has filed federal administrative petitions on behalf of consumer, environmental, and medical organizations.

Michael is a vocal critic of fluoridation, raising concerns about its potential neurotoxic effects, bioaccumulation in bones, and unintentional presence in food products. He contends that fluoridation is neither a safe nor effective method for preventing dental caries and argues that its widespread use has been influenced more by industrial interests than by scientific evidence. His expertise and advocacy have made him a prominent voice in the movement against fluoride.
