In Las Vegas, we have an intake valve from Lake Mead...the intake valve takes in the water goes to the treatment plant, fluoride is put in and then piped to all of Vegas (hotels, casino, residences).

Then we all take our dumps flush the toilet and the sewage goes to the treatment plant and then piped right back into Lake Mead.

To add insult to injury.....the sewer pipe that the treated sewage spills out is just a mile north (upstream) of the water intake valve.

I'm not so sure about that. Water is a byproduct of certain chemical reactions, and I believe other reactions cause the molecule to lose one or both hydrogen atoms.

Since when are deer, bear and eagles considered livestock?

It is the only livestock my ancestors had and the was no stock to it. They roamed freely and were hunted.
In the SE, Georgia area, we didn't have Buffalo.

For some odd reason, there seems to be this misconception , that the Creek & Choctaw Cherokee, had ranches and fenced cows.

Not always. The local country school had their well condemned for too much bacteria, and they had to use bottled water until they could get a cistern installed!

You haven't provided any evidence that: a) our drinking water has dangerous levels of pharmaceuticals; b) that your ancestors lived to 90 or more; c) pharma in drinking water is more life threatening than the threats to lifespan of the past such as TB or other eradicated diseases.

a.)
Dangerous levels? Any level would be concerning to me!

(b.)
As far as proof my forefathers lived long lives unless taken in battle, is not well documented. The Cherokee were not high on the priority list to get that done for the last 3000 years.
There is documentation of one Indian chief, that they think he was either born in 1722 or 1744, but they do have him dieing in 1866. Sitting Bull was said to have been well into his 90's, but even that is not documented, as to his actual birth year.
