you Did you know that the whole family, not just children, can benefit by drinking water that contains fluoride? It's a fact that in addition to brushing and flossing the best way to keep your teeth is to drink fluoridated water. We consume it every day with the reassurance from our health authorities that it is doing us good. The truth is fluoride is a poison and adding it to our drinking water is an evolving social experiment started 40 years ago. In the small county of Elbert Georgia on one of the highest hilltops stands a massive granite structure known as the Georgia guide stones. Perfectly aligned with celestial bodies this American Stonehenge was erected sometime in the late 70s. The enormous structure stands almost 20 feet high is made of six granite slabs weighing in at almost a quarter of a million pounds. The most astonishing detail of the monument is not its size but the messages that are carved into it. Engraved in eight modern and four ancient languages are ten commandments for a new age of reason. The first directive is the most sinister and alarming to us all. Maintain humanity under 500 million in perpetual balance with nature. I have a question for you. How do you suppose they plan on eliminating over 90% of the population? Perhaps by using the oldest trick in the book and that is to do it right under our noses then cloak it in the praise it's all for your own good. This series of films takes a closer look at the current pandemic of neurological disorders we are witnessing today and more importantly the relationship that heavy metal toxicity plays in the overall equation. Our food our air and our water are all under attack and the most disturbing part is that it's by design. This first of three films investigates our water by focusing on fluoride. My name is Chris Maple and this is our story. So we've got our friends at the fluoride action network we actually went to their website and printed off a top ten facts about fluoride. Hopefully we can educate a few people on what's going on with the drinking water. Do you drink tap water? Yes I do. Yes I do. Yes. Yes. I do drink tap water but I usually put it through a filter system. Filtered. Filtered tap water. Yeah. Yeah one of those like little jugs with the like the carbon filter that comes in there. If it's an emergency situation I need to you know swallow a pill or something yeah but. No I don't drink it. You don't drink the tap water? I don't drink it for recreation when I get thirsty I boil my water I wait for it to cool I store it in jars. Yeah don't want to take any risks. Let me ask you what made you go and buy that filter? Because LA water tastes like crap. Well I know what's in it it's pretty nasty. Have you heard of the fluoride controversy that's going on? No I never. This is the first time? Surprise for me. Have you heard of fluoride? Yes. What do you know about it? It's something that's added to water. I don't know like the scientific exact definition. Apparently fluoride ions help out with keeping your teeth strong and everything else like that. I always thought it was kind of like a medicine because it helps your teeth be stronger and all that fun stuff. I know that it's one of the questions that our dentist asks us about if we have fluoride in our toothpaste but that's about all they really know I don't know if it's a positive thing or not. So why do you think why is it added to the water what do you think? To like you know what I'm not sure. Well my dad was a dentist. Okay. So I know fluoride as far as dental health is necessary. Okay. Particularly for kids that don't learn how to brush their teeth. Their parents may or may not be aware of what sugar can do to their teeth so in my opinion fluoride is a good thing. Fluoride is safe and effective and it's one of the most inexpensive ways to really cut down on dental decay. Anything we can do to help prevent cavities on children I think is very important. Absolutely fluoride is safe. It's effective. Fluoridation of community water is extremely safe and extremely effective in preventing tooth decay. Science is on the side of fluoride being safe and effective. There is no controversy about this in the scientific community. If it's such a simple issue how is it that it's still going on after half a century? I remember it being debated. But just because we've been doing something 50 years doesn't necessarily mean that it's right. Public health officials knew then what they know now. Would we have fluoride? Would it be added to our drinking water? Well today a coalition of scientists dentists and doctors are taking action to stop fluoridation until it is proven safe. As I began my quest looking into the history of fluoride I found what seemed to be a tangled web of information. While we agree that there are a number of different players in this game and paths to explore regarding the history on fluoride for the sake of time we will attempt to be as concise as possible. In the last part of the 18th century a new kind of revolution was taking hold on the modern world. This was not a political, social, or cultural revolution. This was an economic revolution and unfortunately for us the byproducts were some of the most toxic pollutants humanity had ever seen. And one of the most venomous pollutants of them all was fluoride. By 1930 the aluminum industry was the biggest polluter of fluoride. In America only one company was in the aluminum business. The aluminum company of America otherwise known as Alcoa. Ironically enough during that time the US public health services was under the direct jurisdiction of the US Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon. It just so happened that Mellon was a founder and major stockholder of Alcoa. He was also the founder of the Mellon Institution, an industry funded research institute that was notorious for giving industry the scientific data it needed to defend itself. The Mellon Institute published some of the key evidence that supported the effectiveness of fluoride in fighting tooth decay. It was Dr. Gerald Cox who also worked at the Mellon Institute that made the first proposal to artificially fluoridate our public water supplies. Although widely debated the official human experiments began in Grand Rapids Michigan on January 25th 1945 as they were the first to publicly fluoridate their water supply. I mean that's what we're gonna do over the next 12 months is our hope is to interview people like yourself various physicians neurologists the chemists toxicologists and get to the bottom of it. I don't understand why there's a debate. Yeah we want to get to the bottom of what is fluoride. Is it good or is it bad? Okay. Well more importantly Mike we'd like to come down and see you. How do you feel about that? Yeah we can do it at my studio if you like. Oh that'd be great. Okay I got a lot of pumping out the shows today. Yeah all right I know you're busy buddy I'll let you go. All right Chris see you soon man. Okay sounds good Mike. Bye bye. That's awesome. My name is Mike Adams the health ranger the editor of naturalnews.com. What is labeled fluoride is not naturally occurring fluoride like you might find in the ground. It's actually a collection it can be over a hundred different chemicals including some radioactive chemicals including many cancer-causing chemicals including heavy metals neurologically damaging elements that are called fluoride and then this is dumped into the water supply and the cities have doctors and dentists convinced that this is somehow good for your teeth. So this topic this this fluoride topic has been going on discrepancy for 60 years now. There must be an organization that is trying to push fluoride otherwise it wouldn't be going into communities the way it is so I think there's an organized group that are trying to influence cities and convince them. Two-thirds of the water districts in this country Florida but not San Diego. 80% of our 50 largest cities Florida but not San Diego. Now that the water district is introducing fluoride we have a unique opportunity to really make sure that this incredibly cost-effective public health advance gets to everyone in the city of San Diego and I urge you to consider that. Since Grand Rapids began fluoridating in 1945 cities all over America have been slowly following suit. According to the CDC in 2010 over 73% of the public's water supplies are fluoridated. Presently San Diego now finds itself in over a half century long fight to keep fluoride out of its water supply. That brings us to this man who has been on the front lines of this fluoride battle since the beginning. My name is David Kennedy DDS because I'm a dentist graduated in 1971 from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. I have a degree in biochemistry and physiology from the University of Kansas and graduated from there in 1967. Dr. Kennedy thanks so much for spending some time with us today and agreeing to meet with us at your house you have a beautiful place here and sunny San Diego. Twice San Diego voters have rejected it 1954 1968 now we're trying to put fluoride back into our water and we're dead set against it. After years of debate this water will have fluoride. San Diego has a long history of fighting fluoridation it's the largest city in the country not to put the material in the water. There are people who think it's absolutely fantastic that we're doing this. Arion Collins is the city's water department spokesman he says the city's desire to put fluoride in the water has nothing to do with improving dental health it has to do with potential fines from the state. The city really doesn't take sides on the health issue itself I mean the city really has to abide by the state law I mean there's no question about if we would receive major fines from the state if we did not comply. Now there's no turning back. There's no flavor or odor taste at all to the water that'll make any difference people it'll taste and smell just like the same as it does now. Odors not Jeff Green's problem. It's not just the fluoride itself. He's already sued the city once over the issue. It's the fact that when you add something to the water to treat humans unfortunately what they've done is they've skipped all the other processes they would usually look at when you're gonna put something in the water. Green says fluoride puts more arsenic lead and other metals in the system and he says it'll all end up in court again. So you're talking legal action presumably? I'm certain that I probably have to be legal action. Fluoride will be in the entire water supply by the end of the month. John Langler Fox 5 News. Fifty plus years now San Diego's been fighting this battle successfully. What just happened? The story if you go back to the history in California for fluoridation more than 110 times cities had rejected fluoridation in California. The City Council voted in 1952 to put hydrofluoroalkyl acid in our water supply. The citizens walked around and they said we don't think that's a good idea and we passed a law that says no fluoride or fluorine containing substance or hydrofluoroalkyl acid can be added the public water supply. There can be no gift of funds no tax and no water bill levied for that purpose. Even as far back as 1952 they were actually able to name the product that was gonna end up being put in the water that we now have to spend all our time on. And it's ordinance number 67 in the San Diego Municipal Code. It still stands? It still stands today and what we have is a bunch of crooks and thieves in downtown City Hall and they decided well you know that's such an old law. Mayor Goldegger actually said that's such an old law. Let's see the Constitution is 200 years old so we throw that out too mayor? San Diego is not being forced to fluoridate they're doing voluntarily against the law that we have in our community. So what do you do about that then the only thing I know to do about that is exactly what all the people in Libya and and Egypt and and the Middle East did is it when you get sick and tired of the totalitarian approach to government where they says you will drink it you're gonna like it we decided you need to have hazardous waste in your water supply and you got to stand up and say you know what you drink it because I don't want it. This is a sad day where the citizens of San Diego lost again we held them off for 60 years and here they are buying Chinese hazardous waste put in the water supplies of San Diego directly against our wishes. If you catch the citizens asleep you can take their rights away and that's what they did. That's what it was. People just you know are not savvy enough to be able to figure out that the hazardous waste from China is not what's gonna prevent tooth decay eating right and taking care of your teeth it's what prevents tooth decay. This is about your rights this is a civil right. Are we going to put stuff in the water it harms children? We shouldn't. Well we did. Well hello there. Hey Chris how you doing? Good to see you. Nice to meet you thanks for inviting us out here in such a short notice. Oh you bet you bet I'm glad the weather showed up nicely. So you ready to talk about some fluoride or what? You bet I'm ready. As we know it's a pretty important topic. It sure is but a misunderstood topic by most people. Yeah you're right and hopefully we we're here today to you know to gather a little more clarity around the issue and I'm hoping maybe you might be able to help us with it. Okay. When they first started using fluoride they used sodium fluoride and sodium fluoride that we were able to get from the aluminum industry. Well the fluoride that is being put in the water now not back in 1940 1950 that was sodium fluoride now it's a mineral it's coming from the phosphate fertilizer industry. It's a byproduct that is a very toxic waste. It's basically fluoride bound to silica okay and it's called fluoro silica acid when it's put in extremely toxic. Fluoride is really a clever way for industry the mining industry chemical processing industries aluminum smelting and processing industries to eliminate their toxic industrial waste without having to pay for it to be handled as industrial waste. They just slap a new label on it fluoride they sell it to cities and the cities dump it into the water supply. The water in Amesbury is supposed to have fluoride in it but Rob Damaris has been concerned for years about what's in the supply he gets from China. The residue you see here is what won't dissolve when he puts the fluoride powder in the water. What is that? We don't know. You have no idea what's in there. I don't know what it is it's not soluble it doesn't appear to be sodium fluoride so we're not quite sure what it is. But they should test it to make sure that what they're putting in safe for us to drink. For almost a year these fluoride pumps in Amesbury have been off and the water department says they'll stay off until they can figure out what's in the fluoride. Since 2007 most of the sodium fluoride has also been imported from China because it's the least expensive on the market. I don't think that when it comes to something that I ingest every day the lowest bidder is good enough. I'd like to be able to add it in you know worry-free. But despite those concerns we want to be clear both state and federal health officials tell team five investigates Chinese fluoride is safe. You know coming to town is Paul Conant and he's an excellent professor chemistry all the chemistry professors in the world think this stuff is bad because you know it burns holes in the countertop and stuff like that so Paul would be a really good guy for you My name is Paul Conant. I am a retired professor of chemistry. I taught at St. Lawrence University from 1983 and retired in May of 2006 and my specialty was environmental chemistry and toxicology. Most people in America are persuaded that everybody fluoridates their water and if you're living in a town like Albany or Long Island or Ithaca or somewhere but the vast majority of the population of the world does not drink fluoridated water. Most of the countries do not fluoridate their water only about 30. The countries now that have banned the use of fluoride China, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Hungary and Japan. All these countries have said that fluoride number one is ineffective and toxic and should not be used. We are still using it. There's something wrong here. I think it's time that we become aware and do something about it. How come our country that's supposed to be quote so smart uses it? Well there's something going on here. What does the European Union know that we don't know? Nothing. Nothing. They know the same thing that's why but the difference is they're not getting paid off and we are and so therefore this is what the only thing I can come up with because they both have the same facts. They both have the same facts. Fluoride is toxic. Fluoride is not helping your teeth. If it was really helping your teeth why do we have all these dental problems? It's not at all. How come you can go to primitive societies around the world that never had even seen fluoride and they have perfect teeth? Why are we having all these learning disorders? How come we're having autism? We're having all these things we never had before. Well why don't we ask that question and answer it honestly. Answer it honestly. 98% of Europe does not fluoridate. Only eight countries in the world have more than 50% of their population drinking water. America, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Israel, Singapore, Malaysia and Colombia. Only eight. I am from Europe so I'm really surprised. Yeah you never knew that either? Okay well they don't really tell a lot of people that statistic. In America here we are for 75% in growing whereas all the other countries have been banning it. There's two main reasons why European countries explain why they never went along with this American practice. One was they didn't feel it was right to force it on people that didn't want it and secondly they didn't think that all the health issues had been resolved. I think Europeans have come to their senses on several issues not all of them but on many GMOs being one of them and fluoride being another. They've rejected these things because they're looking at the evidence. America tends to be way behind the curve on really recognizing reality in the realm of fraudulent hoax science. The our CDC and the liars in Washington DC have only had success in countries that speak English for the vast majority of the disposal of their hazardous waste product. That means that you and I and our children in the United States are the largest consumers of hydrofluoroacetic acid. Call it what it is. Hydrofluoroacetic acid. What is that? Hydro's water, fluofluoride, silicic sand and it's missing an electron. It's acidic. It'll kill you. You take your hand dip it in like that you're gonna die. Hydrofluoroacetic acid does not occur in nature. It's a man-made molecule and it eats through concrete, glass, stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic. You name it, it'll eat it. So why are we putting that in the water? It's toxic. It'll kill you. You touch it, it kills you. Just before they pour it into our drinking water there's a sculling bones right on the side of the packaging. You need to wear a hazmat suit. First tonight, hazmat crews from all across our area responded to a chemical leak this afternoon in Rock Island. The chemical was so strong it was burning through the concrete there. News 8's Christy Mergenthal has the latest. It was just before one o'clock Thursday afternoon when hazmat crews were called to the Rock Island water treatment plant for a chemical spill coming from this tanker truck. The chemical hydrofluoroacetic acid is used to add fluoride to the plants water. After several hours crews were able to clean up the leak allowing operations to return to normal. They had to cordon off the area obviously but as far as the treatment of the water and the amount of water being used by the public, there's no effect on that at all. That's how they transport it. It's extremely aggressive. It'll eat through almost anything including concrete. It'll eat through glass, steel, titanium, bricks, anything. It's crazy. Basically it's a hazardous waste by-product of the manufacture of phosphate fertilizer. It's a mining by-product. They dig up this rock. This rock is no good as is so you mix it with sulfuric acid and this produces soluble phosphate and that's what becomes the fertilizer. In doing so they get all this fluoro silicate in there. It's a by-product that they can't do anything with. It's a poison so they sell it and make fluoride out of it. It was a fraud. It was a scam from the get-go. It is a means of getting rid of fluoride. You allow industry to use your water supply to dispose of their hazardous waste. It's a disposal mechanism. It's an industrial, a major industrial waste pollutant. They were trying to dump it into the rivers that were going out into the ocean in Florida and boy they stopped that. They said you're polluting, you're killing the fish, which they were. For a hundred years they decimated the local vegetation, crippled the cattle, damaged the citrus groves in Florida. It was costing them a fortune to handle this as a very serious industrial waste. And then eventually oh I have an idea let's put it in the water supply and we'll get them to take it off our hands. We don't have to pay to get rid of a toxic waste. And now they're making millions of dollars on what is. Now if you read it'll say what was. I don't care what was, it still is an industrial waste product that is being added as our fluoridating agent. And so they're helping Cargill get rid of their hazardous waste problems. Cargill is the largest privately owned corporation in the world. They were also the largest producer of hydrofluoroacetic acid. Cargill at one time had like 90% of the market. When the hurricanes went through Florida they knocked out the holding pond so there was a shortage of hydrofluoroacetic acid. And so they reached out to the rest of the world and now we get it from Mexico and Japan and China. Because none of those countries allow fluoride in the water supply. They don't they don't put it in at all. So it obviously is piling up in those countries. I don't think we need to be helping other countries out with their disposal of fluoroacetic acid. Fluoridation is the worst recycling practice in the world. So I support recycling. But to take the hazardous waste from the phosphate fertilizer industry, which cannot be dumped into the sea by international law and cannot be used locally because it's too concentrated. And to take that product and put it into our public drinking water is sheer lunacy. It's bizarre. I mean George Orwell Kafka could have written this play. Lunacy. There are 250,000 tons dumped annually in the water supply. Does that sound like a big figure to you? If you had one ton and were worth over a million dollars you'd be a poor person by the time you got rid of that ton. It's extremely expensive to get rid of. Come on let's think for a moment. Maybe we should be adding cyanide. How about adding cyanide to the water supply because now they got all this cyanide somewhere. Now what are we gonna do with it? It's costing us millions to get rid of it. Oh just add it to the drinking water and we'll pay you to add it. That's basically what they're doing with this floral silicate. It's almost like if a company could just dump its toxic waste into the river and they say well we're just gonna dump the the the byproducts of uranium refining and enrichment down the river. And we're gonna say radiation is good for fish because it makes them brighter. You know they could sell that on TV. They could get on Fox News and CNN. They could tell the whole country oh the fish need to be brighter so they can eat at night. Otherwise they might starve. So we need to save the fish which means we we need to dump more radiation into the rivers and that's why this corporation that's enriching the the plutonium let's say or the uranium is a good corporation that's helping to save the fish. Now I guarantee you nine out of ten people would buy that even though I just totally made that up and it makes no sense whatsoever. It's complete nonsense. Hydrofluoroacetic acid has no known benefit in human or any physiological system. It's not even useful in any mammal. So adding that to the public water supply for an alleged benefit is a fraud and it's a crime against the citizens of this country and it's cumulative over a lifetime. It is a very noxious poison and you do not have to take my word for it. If you've got a Webster's Dictionary open it up. One of the definitions is fluoride a violent protoplasmic poison. Then you have to go look up protoplasm. We are protoplasm. So violent protoplasm for us. Say let's put that in the water and see how the kids turn out. Is there anybody that you know that might be willing to talk to us? Perhaps a whistleblower? Somebody who's been injured? Yeah. A guy wrote a book, Toxic Torts, the tell-all book about the phosphate fertilizer industry. Gary Pittman. He'll tell you the story. Is that where Wizziata is? In Florida. That's where all the phosphate mines are in the United States. That's right. Paul looks like we're going to Florida buddy. What do you think? Alright Gary, so Dr. Kennedy had forwarded me your name and information and said that you might be willing to talk to us about an injury you incurred at work. Yes. I've been exposed to a lot of chemicals and heavy metals and have numerous health problems from the exposures. Of course that was during my 21 years in the phosphate industry. Wow, 21 years. Now are you still in the industry? You're still working? I stopped working in 1993 due to neurological problems, muscle disease, numerous problems that I didn't know what was going on at the time. Hey Gary, how are you my friend? Good to see you. Here we are. We're in Jennings, Florida. We're at Gary Pittman's property with his lovely wife, Gloria. Been so kind to open up their house to listen and let us come in and pick his brain a little bit about phosphate fluorides. Gary, what made you write this book? I wanted to leave a history behind on what happened to me and some of the co-workers here in this county and it kind of gives the inside look at a phosphate plant, mainly the chemical plant where phosphoric acid is made. Former employees of Occidental Chemical Corporation have filed a lawsuit against the company. They say they have life-threatening diseases because the company did not follow safety procedures. Paige, they have diseases like leukemia, emphysema, and toxic brain syndrome. For years, doctors struggled to diagnose them, but finally they found a common link. It was the phosphate plant they all worked for. Gary Pittman started working for Occidental's phosphate plant when he was 18 years old. By 39, he was unable to work. Today, he can barely walk upstairs, suffering from emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disorders, liver dysfunction, and a long list of other problems. The diagnosis, toxic brain syndrome. It seemed like everyone over there kept a cold, like flu-like symptoms. We'd always refer to it as a type of chemical new moment. Gary and several other former employees are suing Occidental for failing to provide adequate safety education and gear. One woman's husband died of bone cancer before his battle could make it to court. They messed up my life. They messed up everybody's life and they're continuing to mess up other people's lives. They need to come in and realize and to admit to what they are doing. Going into this employment, were you, you know, aware of all the hazards? No, no. I tell you, I'd have chosen another career. I was a pretty smart boy at the time, you know, and I wasn't smart enough, I don't reckon, but see, back in those days, there were no computers. Right. You had no knowledge base like we got today. Word of mouth, you going to work out there, man, they pay good money. You know, what do they do out there? They make fertilizer. Well, we was farm boys. We handled fertilizer every day. Well, Chris, what I wanted to do is I did not want to die without at least trying to warn people and tell people, you know, it's because I could have read a book like the one I wrote before I went to work out there. I wouldn't have went to work out there. Right. Because they would have educated me and said, well, what I want to work, now this guy's sitting there with cancer, this guy's over here with leukemia, you know, to me, you know, I would have, I would have, I think I'd have chosen another path. What would I say to myself if I was 18 again and looking for employment? Well, number one, what I would say to myself is money is not everything. You can't buy your health back once you lose it. If I'd have had the information that I have now, I would have evaluated this whole situation if the company would have told me about the hazards and what I was going to be exposed to and what it could cause. And they knew in 1972, when I went to work, the phosphate industry had been going on a long time in central Florida. They knew the hazards and they knew what happened to workers working there long term. And so did my company, but I don't think they tell them today. Still, huh? I just don't believe they do. Now, they claim they tell them about the hazards, but I don't believe they do because if they did, they wouldn't have any workers. All we required to wear in the laboratory, that's where I started, was safety glasses. Let me see that old jacket. You see where it's, it's just ate right through that, huh? Yeah, you can just be walking out on our pipe rack, so if your acid dripped down on your back, I mean, it's gonna burn you. It's gonna burn right through your clothes. No hazmat suits on, just a little jacket. If I'd never been that dangerous, and know what I know today, I wouldn't have never went to work out again with it. Let me ask you this, what are your thoughts on taking us over to the company that you work at? Well, it might be a little difficult, you know, wouldn't want to get caught out there or anything. They have security guards pretty much patrolling that area, but yeah, we could go out, I could show it to you. How close you think we can get? Well, you can't see what's on the inside from the ground. You have to get a view from the air. There's some satellite images of all the phosphate mining in Florida, and they have got some great images of the devastation this strip mining causes. Yeah, we could go out, I could show it to you. Up here on the right, we're gonna have the administration offices. They used to be in the chemical plant, and they moved them. They used to eat the pantyhose off the women's legs. Wow. It says, I worked at the above-named company, Occidental Chemical Company, White Springs, Florida in 1968, and part of 1969. Our accounting department was located in the admin building, which at that time was located at the chemical plant. Many mornings when we employees would get out of our vehicles, women, these were secretaries and such, our pantyhose would dissolve off of our legs. It was explained to us that it was a chemical fallout, not to worry. Our boss would see that each of us girls would get $1 to get us another pair of pantyhose. So there's three things you can see from the space station, and that's the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Fosco Gypsum Stacks in Florida, and the Great Wall of China. And that's how large they are. They have them in South Florida and Central Florida that are 400 acres big. It's a huge operation. They take cubic tons of rock with day. What is the water up there? The pond water is water they use for the process, and it's recycled. The water is used over and over, and it gets stronger and stronger and more contaminating. How do they contain it? Just by building a dam like that? A dam around it, and that's what I was supposed to tell you. There's no liner under that stack. It's right on top of the ground, and it is leaching into the groundwater. I read somewhere about a sinkhole that took place. The reason the sinkhole developed is because the acidic water eating away the limestone. And once the limestone gives way, you're in the groundwater. Because in Florida, when you drill a well, you have to go through the limestone to get to that. When that 84 million gallons fell through in there, it contaminated all this water around. It had to have. And like I said, you know, it's just a matter of time before, you know, you have a sinkhole like that. It's just a weak point. Wherever there's a weak point in the cavity, in the limestone, is where the ground bottom falls. Eventually going to happen. In all of them. In all of them. In addition to this recycled toxic water up there in those ponds, you call them, in addition to that, they're taking fresh water too. Of course, they use a lot of fresh water because, see, this is the main thing that they don't want you to know. It's what they call the water balance. It just makes them nervous if you start talking about the water balance. What do they add back when they need water if it's leaching? It's going away. They have to add some fresh water to keep the process going. The phosphate industry uses more fresh water than any other industry in the state of Florida. You know, sometimes they have to release water out of those toxic ponds. When do they put it? They put it in the creeks and it runs into the Suwannee River. Now what they do to it is lime it to bring the pH up so it don't kill the fish immediately. The Suwannee River, they claim, is a pristine waterway, but if you ask the Fresh and Game Water Commission in Florida, they'll tell you not to eat over one fish out of that river a month. Wow. Because of lead, and mercury, and chromium, and cadmium. They won't tell you that, but that's why. Yeah, that's why. This is just a lot of the documentation I've reached through the years. What really caught my eye was like we had talked about earlier in 1972 through 1979, misrepresenting environmental data. And they charged them $575,000 for emitting 10 times the amount of fluoride allowed below. And I was working there when that was going on and the fumes were just unbelievable. It'd pit the glass on your windshield, make them some fog, it would etch the glass. Just having your car parked out there while you're at work. I mean back in the 60s, you know, I mean even earlier they realized that those fumes were very toxic. Very toxic. The phosphate company pretty much polices themselves. They have their own crews do their stack testing and all the other environmental things. And you know that's kind of like the fox watching the hen house. And I have been involved to where they would go up to test a stack and come down and tell me something's wrong. This stack is going to fail. You know, so you look around, find the problem, straighten it out and say, okay boys, y'all can go up there and test now. I have also been at the point to where we couldn't find what was wrong and they were doing the test and we would just go and open a blind in the fume duct to allow more fresh air to rush in so it would dilute the emissions. And this past, I'd say six months, there's been four people that I know of that I grew up with. They were younger than me. There were 52, all of them, that. I do honestly believe it has something to do with the phosphate chemical plants out there. I would imagine you've seen some injured employees. I've seen people burned. I've seen people blown up. I saw a man killed and he was going to weld on a rotary drum filter. Somebody had washed it with a solution of sulfuric acid and pond water. Found out later the guy had struck an arc to weld on that thing and it exploded. And it killed him, messed up his friend, things that was helping. It's a very hazardous work environment. When you digest phosphate rock with sulfuric acid, that's what you're going to give off, hydrogen fluoride and silicon and tetrafluoride. Now even at that strength, it'll eat up concrete, asphalt, stainless steel, even the fume ducts after a while, which is made out of fiberglass. Very corrosive, the most corrosive acid known to man. Used to etch glass. It's used for a lot of things. One of the things it's used for is to fluoridate drinking water. Who in the world would want to drink water with this stuff in it? Well, you know, as we're learning there, it seems like there are no rewards to this. It just seems, it's just all risks. It's all risk. It's a big lie. There's no benefit whatsoever. It's all risk. Let's get to the science. That's what I say. Instead of covering it up, let's look at the science. What do these fluoride chemicals actually do to human beings? There's all kinds of research out there showing it really disturbs the functioning of the body in a number of ways. Inactivates 62 enzymes, increases the aging process, increases the incidence of cancers and tumors up to 17%, disrupts the immune system, causes genetic damage, interrupts RNA and DNA, repair enzymes activity, increases arthritis, and is a system poison. These are all validated by scientific data. We have in America today all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, obesity, heart disease, neurological impairment. I have been very sick. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 10 years ago. There was no family history in my background that explained why I had this thyroid illness. What were some of your side effects? Feeling very cold, hair loss, concentration issues. It really controls your metabolism. So I had gained about 10 to 15 pounds, which is very unusual. I was very athletic my whole life and never was overweight. So I gained weight. I was sleeping a lot. Again, your metabolism is tuned down. Doing the research, fluoride is an irritant to your thyroid. Your thyroid wants iodine, and if it doesn't get iodine at the concentrations that it needs, then it gets whatever is closest that you're providing in the environment. If you look at the periodic table, you see that fluoride, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are all in the same column. That means they have very similar electronic structure and reactivity. So that's why your thyroid will uptake fluoride and chlorine when you're not giving it enough iodine. It's a gradual accumulation of the fluoride and the other things you're exposed to out there that just gradually wears on you through the years. And that's one reason it's hard to pinpoint a health problem. Because, you know, you work out there 6, 7, 8, 10 years before you start noticing things, and then it's almost too late then because it's already done the damage. But I've been real weak and just lethargic. So when the blood work come back, the guy asked me, he said, what have you been doing? I said, nothing the last few days. I've been laying on the couch at home. I ain't felt well. He said, you sure you hadn't fell off of a building or something? He said, look, he said, you have a muscle destructive process going on. That was exactly what he told me. And I said, what does that mean? He said, you got a muscle destructive process going on and there's nothing I can do to help you. Dave, so what we're learning is kind of frightening because it seems to me that once it's in your body, is it there to stay? Yes, you can't get it out. You can cut some of the harm by mitigating the damage and avoid it like a plague, but you really can't get it out because it's stuck in your bones. And that's why you have all those skeletal symptoms, you know, the joint pain, the arthritis and all that stuff. The first signs that Florida's poison your bones is pains in the joints, stiffness in the joints, pains in the bones. Well, you go to the doctor with pain in the joint. He said, well, you got arthritis. Well, arthritis, arthritis, pain. Okay, joint pain. So we got somebody speaking to us in Latin. Oh, you got joint pain, super duper. We have millions of people with arthritis in the United States and in Florida countries, one in three adults. Nobody's ever looked to see if some of those arthritis cases may have been caused or exacerbated by just not looking. Are bones with more fluoride stronger or less strong? And the answer is less strong. And they got studies where they tried to give them a dose of fluoride, sodium fluoride, to cause an increase in bone mass. It did, but it weakened the bone itself. So those are case controlled studies. That's the gold standard in medicine. So we have case controlled studies showing that if you give people fluoride, it accumulates in their bones and it causes the bones to become white, opaque, increases the bone density, decreases the bone tensile strength. And they actually took a bone that was removed from people for the purpose of replacing a joint or a hip, put it in a little device here where you put a weight on there and snap it. And they showed that the more fluoride in the bone, the quicker it snaps. If you ever wondered, how come everybody has hip replacements, knee replacements? I mean, you can go on and on. I can think back when I was a kid, that didn't happen. I didn't see all these crippled people. I mean, you saw a few, but it wasn't common. I mean, how does it end up in our bones? Is that where our body just finds? It's calcium regentatious, so your body parks it there because it's got to dispose of it some way, otherwise it would kill you. So it parks in the bone and kills your bones. What it does once it fills up with fluoride, that you get little spikes on the outside of the bone. If you take a hand and take a bone and run your hand up and down a normal bone, it's slick. And that's because muscles move around on the bones when you're running or jogging or lifting weights and all that stuff. Your muscles are moving around on your bone and it's slick, so it doesn't hurt. Well, if you make that bone the texture of sandpaper, then when the muscle moves around, the fascia tears and it hurts to move. And so fluoride accumulates in calcium-rich tissues, which are bone, ligaments, cartilage, joints, and teeth. So you have to look at this as if you have a lifetime body burden, and the less you're exposed to, the longer you can go before you develop symptoms. The first most irrefutable symptom of fluoride exposure is pain, and that's what we saw. My wife and I filmed a documentary in China, and pain was the hugely significant symptom that they all had. They couldn't even work. And, you know, in China, if you don't work, you starve to death. Have you ever heard of dental fluorosis? No. No. It comes when somebody's overexposed to fluoride. Awesome. That's a picture of very mild dental fluorosis, and so is that. You know, that young girl came to see me to get that fixed because she doesn't think that's beautiful. She thinks that looks bad when she smiles, and I think everybody else agrees with her. They say 41% of American teenagers have this condition. So this is a white spot. So it's been there. This is a little scary, you know, knowing that many people who don't even know, you know, what's in our water. Fluorosis can become more severe than a simple white spot. In severe cases, it can deform a patient's teeth. When you see spots on the teeth like this, that means you gave the child enough of a poison that the cells that were making that organ didn't make it right. They made it wrong. When I was a child, I was overexposed to fluoride. There are streaks of that in my teeth. So you learned that early on then. I knew, yes, those teeth are very brittle, so I have cavities more frequently in those teeth than other ones that don't have the evidence of the fluorosis. Maybe you've seen its white, chalky spots on your teeth. And I was told that those are calcium build-ups. From the fluoride. Okay. I don't think I had really, really strong teeth to start with, but I did have some teeth that they just broke. The last time this happened, I was eating a baked potato, and it broke two out. A baked potato. A baked potato and it broke two out. Did you notice anybody else in the plant losing teeth? Yeah, yeah. We talk about it a lot at the plant. So the ADA, people in office, the people who are in these regulatory agencies, they're aware of overexposure to fluoride causes dental fluorosis, correct? Yeah. They know that, right? And they know that dental fluorosis, the teeth become weakened, they chip, they fall out. Brown, spotted, ugly, wear away real fast. Yes, they know all of that. We took California. We took the whole state. There's no difference in dental care costs for welfare from one end of the state to the other, regardless of the amount of flora in the water, whether it's 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, no difference. So if there was a tremendous benefit, you ought to be able to see that, and it doesn't show up at all in the computer data. So that's why they won't debate you. And although fluoride can help with your teeth, if either chemical is consumed in high amounts or over a lifetime, it can lead to cancer, skin conditions, bone disease, and other health issues. I was very angry because nobody told me about the effects of fluoride. If I'd have known what fluoride would do to the teeth, I would never ever have let her have fluoride toothpaste. There is a recent lawsuit in Maryland, it's a federal lawsuit, a woman who believed the medical establishment at the time when her daughter was an infant. She gave her daughter 90% of her diet intake of water was this fluoridated baby water. And so the daughter grew up with severe fluorosis. And to get that corrected, dental restoration is about $100,000 and they can't bear that burden. So they are suing Nestle and Gerber. So putting it in a baby bottle when the child doesn't have any visible teeth, there's no way on God's green earth that can have anything except a negative impact on that child. But they sell it in the grocery store as baby's first water. I've seen that for years. How do we educate women to not buy this for their babies? And this is why we wanted the warning for infants, because they're the most at risk. They drink their weight in water within two or three days. If you and I did that we'd be drinking 22 liters a day. I mean, it just goes back to the whole of these regulatory agencies that are supposed to, you know, be kind of looking out for our best interests. And as you know, they're not. I say they have a duty to warn. They have a duty to warn you. Not one manufacturer of formula says, by the way, don't use the tap water. Women, infant and children, WIC program. We contacted them. They refuse to tell mothers not to use the tap water. And you know what she said? It would damage the fluoridation program. Fluoride is safe and effective. And it's one of the most inexpensive ways to really cut down on dental decay. Fluoride is safe and effective. Fluoride is safe and effective. Well, there's a study from 20 years ago showing infant mortality was higher in fluoridated communities. Is that why? I don't know. Why didn't they do a follow-up study? I think that would be interesting to know. Children have died, you know. There's been a case of a child who swallowed this. The dentist left the room. The parents didn't know. The kid swallowed it. Had to be rushed to hospital. They couldn't save him. He died. So yeah, it's very toxic substance. There's no question about that. Is that the kind of stuff that a responsible parent would be putting in their child's hand? FDA in 1997 required manufacturers of toothpaste to put this warning label on it. The same as you'd have on a loaded 38-caliber pistol. Keep out of reach of children. And only use a little pea-sized amount, which is about the same amount that would be a bottle of water. And if that amount is swallowed, call the poison control center or seek professional help immediately. So if I drank a bottle of water, should I call the poison control center too? This is just insane. So this is what two different organizations say. One says, don't swallow it. Why did they put that on there? They put that on there because there were 10,000 calls a year to the poison control centers from children made ill by swallowed toothpaste. 10,000 calls and you know for every call there's five that didn't call. And so, and they're only in poison control centers in half the states. So that means a hundred thousand children are made ill by swallowed toothpaste. It's insane to put a deadly poison in a child's hand and say go brush and be sure and spit out Johnny. Florida's been a slow process of introduction into the dental profession where it's commonplace for us to consider Florida's the thing to do to help decay. Well we now know statistics have shown us that Florida's not working. It's very toxic to you and can cause everything from cancer to depression. So yeah it's a serious issue. Fluoride is obviously not for everyone. We've now found out that fluoride can harm babies and we also know that it's been admitted that there are other groups that can be harmed by fluoride. The Center of Disease Control in the 2005 report indicates that black Americans and Mexican Americans had a higher rate of dental fluorosis than white children. There is a gene that African Americans have two and so their intestine is grabbing the lead with both hands and then the Hispanic kids just have one so they're just grabbing the lead with one hand the Caucasian kids don't have either one. So the lowest level of lead is actually in the Caucasian kids and then Hispanics up 400% and the African Americans 600% when you put silica flora in the water and that's because they have a genetic predisposition. Everybody's dose is different. That's what's critical here. Your dose, my dose and African Americans dose, Hispanic, we all have genetic differences and that process window may be this big but you know what they've decided that everybody gets the same and that's where the problems happen. There's no single dose that is good for everybody. Which makes water fluoridation with hydrofluoroacetic acid a crime against humanity and it's time for them to stop. What it does, it causes minorities especially lactose intolerant minorities to suck up lead like a sponge and end up with learning disorders and be imprisoned for violent crimes. That's fluoride gate so if you want to google fluoride gate you will come across the black ministers of America decrying the addition of hydrofluoroacetic acid to the public water supplies because it is a racist policy that causes disproportionate harm. It causes disproportionate harm to babies because they're little people and they drink a lot of water. It causes disproportionate harm to people who are dependent upon the water supply and cannot afford to buy bottled water or buy a nice fancy system that actually takes it out. The president of the coalition of African American pastors has said why wasn't the black community told that blacks are disproportionately impacted by harm from fluorides and fluoridated water. Nobody told me until they learned about this a year ago. It's very expensive for the ordinary family to avoid fluoride once it's in the water and that is the nub of fluoride gate. That is the nub of why these civil rights people in Atlanta are speaking out because they recognize that families of low income are unable to avoid this if they wanted to. You can see that when you graph it by race that there is a lot more injury to the minorities. 14% for the Caucasians, 21% for the African Americans, Mexican Americans are 16% have very mild dental fluorosis. Very mild is 25% of the second most damaged tooth. This is insane. The worst damaged tooth, we don't even count that. If it's just one tooth, throw that data out. If it's two teeth that are damaged, it's the lesser of the two evils. When you go to the next one, you see mild which is 50% of the second most damaged tooth. Caucasians again at four, African Americans at eight, Mexican Americans at five. This is less than 50% of the second most damaged tooth. They call that mild. And then we go to moderate and this is where the entire surface of the tooth is a chalky white. The National Academy of the Science identified this as a health effect. Severe is where parts of the teeth are missing. There's a substantial percentage of the children in the United States in fluoridated communities that have severe dental fluorosis, partly from the fluoride tablets which shouldn't be on the market, partly from swallowed toothpaste, partly from eating things like Cheerios that are 10 parts per million, fluoride, partly from drinking the water. How much do they say is safe and of course is it? The EPA has listed four parts per million as being safe. They said oh four parts per million is perfectly safe for everybody. Well one's not even safe for the baby and they just lowered it down to point seven. Well they're headed in the right direction but not fast enough. When they get it down to zero I'm gonna be okay with that but otherwise you know it's not safe. The federal government today recommended lowering the levels of fluoride in your tap water because of growing cases of spotting on the teeth of American children. The recommended reduction is 0.7 parts per million. 0.7 is not going to solve the problem because you can do the math on a baby. 0.7 is going to poison the baby. Not quite as fast as one did but 0.7 is still going to poison the baby because the dose exceeds the dose that's known to cause harm. And you know what the next dirty trick they're trying to do? They're raising the EPA's estimate of the dose that causes harm. I'm sorry, didn't we just figure out that there's a bunch of children with funny looking spotted teeth and we needed to lower their exposure and you're gonna raise it? It was explained to me by people in the Netherlands, particularly Dr. Hans Muhlenberg. He said you know in the Netherlands we know what it's like as a country to lose your freedom, to live in a totalitarian society which was run by the Nazis because the Nazis overran Netherlands. And said we know what it's like. You are meant to have the right to informed consent to medication. What we're doing in a Florida community is we're doing to everyone what a doctor can do to no one. A doctor says to you, he says look this glass of water is gonna do wonderful things for you. It's gonna cure your ingrowing toenails. It's gonna make you less bald. It's gonna do X, Y, and Z. Drink it. And you say no, I don't want to drink it. You must drink it. You've got to drink it. I'm your doctor. I'm telling you got to drink it. If he or she tried to do that to you, he or she could lose their license. You're not, you've got to tell the patient what the drug is good for. You've got to tell them what it's bad for, the side effects. And then they in theory make up their minds. This has been ripped away from us. Water fluoridation is the dispensing of a drug. This is not chlorine. This is not any number of the other chemicals that are used to treat the water. Fluoride is being put in specifically to alter you physically to make a physical change in you. Fluoride is a drug. It's a medicine. The majority of our prescription drugs, the primary ingredient is fluoride. Fluoride is a drug. Well anytime you see the letters FLUO, you're talking fluoride. FEN-FEN, the diet drug that ruined hearts. Well that was a fluorinated diet drug. Prozac is fluoxetine. It's a fluorinated psychoactive. Matter of fact, all almost all your psychoactive drugs are fluorinated drugs. They put it in there both as a carrier and an accelerator of the effect. The actual active ingredient in Prozac is fluoride. Prozac is made almost entirely from fluoride molecules. It is, like SSRI drugs, are similar molecularly to some of the elements in fluoride. Remember the school shootings in Columbine, Colorado? They were on SSRI drugs. Those drugs make your mind think that you're not living in the real world, that you're actually just sort of experiencing a false reality. And I think fluoride has much the same effect. Knowing this, that it is a drug, do you think it's safe to allow the population to be drugs at any dose? Doesn't matter how big or small you are, doesn't matter if you're sick, healthy, or elderly? No. There is absolutely no drug on the market that's given in a one-dose-fits-all situation. We don't put other things in the water to try to keep everybody's blood pressure down or everybody's stroke risk down, and there's no reason why we should be trying a one-size-fits-all approach for this either. Once you put a medicine in the drinking water, you can't control the dose, because you can't control how much water people drink. You can't control who gets it. It goes to everybody. If you ask a pharmacist if there's any drug in his store that was safe enough to give to everyone, young people, old people, sick people, people with poor nutrition, give it to them in any dose, they'd laugh at you. It's ridiculous. There's no way you can give out a medicine without being able to control the dose, and one dose cannot fit all, and you can't give a medicine to everybody. You are forcing it on people who don't want it. There are people in this audience who've spent far more time researching this issue, including David, myself, and many other people in this audience, and they've stated categorically to the mayor, to the city councilors, we do not want you to force this medicine on us. We have the right to informed consent to medication. That's a very important right. This is a violation. It's being violated every day in this country to over 200 million people. There needs to be informed consent. We have that with all other medications. When we go to the doctor, he or she gives us the information of what the side effects are going to be. With fluoride, there is no informed consent. There is no safe dose for this one-size-fits-all medication that they're doing to us. Now, all those issues are important, but the one that really concerns me is the impact of fluoride on the brain. I'm a photographer from Los Angeles, and I'm here with these cameras today because I feel personally driven to do something about this. Once I started looking into it personally and realizing the impact it was having on our children, I decided to do something about it. My question to you, to the panel, is if the EPA, from what we understand, has found evidence, and they've stated this, that fluoride is a neurotoxin. Neurologically, what really is it doing to us? Could you enlighten us on that a little bit? A study panel for the EPA, you're absolutely right, listed fluoride as amongst 109 chemicals for which there was significant evidence of neurological effects. It has a definite impact on the neurons, which is the nerve parts of the brain. You don't just grow those back. It's not like, well, I cut myself, so now I'm renewing my cell. It doesn't happen to the neurons. There are so many ways that fluoride could be damaging the brain. We know this from animal studies. Dr. Phyllis Mullenix exposed rats to fluoride to work out its effects on the human brain and the central nervous system. What we did was we exposed them, let them drink the fluoride in the water for six to 20 weeks. The pattern that we saw, it typically is what we see with other neurotoxic agents that are well known to cause a hypoactivity, or a memory problem, or an IQ problem. When I first presented the results of these studies, one of the individuals sitting and listening to the results, he says, do you have any idea what you're saying? And he says, you're telling us that we're reducing the IQ of children. Look, the first opponents of fluoridation in this country, in the 1950s, were biochemists. These biochemists had used fluoride in their experiments to poison enzymes, and they, including Dr. James Sumner, who won the Nobel Prize for enzyme chemistry at Cornell, and he said, fluoride poisons enzymes. You don't want to put this substance into the body. Poisoning enzymes is what makes people sick. Poisoning enzymes is what kills people. It's highly likely that you're going to get subtle effects on the brain that the parent is not going to notice. No wonder that our children can't read and write. It's no wonder because we're damaging their brains with a stupid preventive dentistry program that doesn't even work. We have behavioral studies, and we have 24 IQ studies, 24 studies, which now show an association between fairly modest exposure to fluoride and lowered IQ. They've actually got it down to a one milligram dose of fluoride causes a 0.59 loss in IQ points. The average IQ is 100. So if you're 95, you're in the back of the class napping because you can't understand what the person in the front is saying, and you're going to get a nice job pushing the broom around. So what if you got twice that dose? Okay, you're down to 90. So what they showed in studies in other countries is that you lose all your genius out of your society. You've damaged the intellect. But new research from China supports Dr. Mullenix's conclusion that fluoride affects mental development and IQ levels. I've heard a great deal about a chemical that can be used on the teeth to help prevent decay. Is that a good thing to use? It certainly is. We use a fluoride solution, and we have evidence that for some people 50 years ago, American government scientists had clinical evidence that fluoride affected the central nervous system. But all this was kept secret chemical, you're going to put some chemical in my mouth, all mention of the effects of fluoride on the central nervous system was stopped. In my view, fluoride is where lead was in the early 70s. That argument lasted about 10 years and it was finally proven that yes, low levels of lead, lower than caused visible symptoms, was in fact damaging a child's mental development. I think the same things that we're going to find with fluoride. As someone who has gotten off of fluoride, I can tell that my thought processes and my concentration is higher. And so when you damage the IQ of the children, you lose your place in the country as a leader, and we have. And that's because of the damage that our government has allowed to happen to the intelligence of our children. If there wasn't research out there that's shown conclusively that it affects the brain and the neurons, that it affects the immune system, that affects the bones, and it is incorporated into your body, fluoride bonding is strong. You get something with fluoride bonded, it's not easy to get it off. Well, what's going on? Fluoride is now in thousands, and I really mean thousands of products, where it has worked its way in and I don't understand why. I had a good friend of mine come up to me one day when I still live in the valley, he says, Karen, he says, look, there's fluoride in in Cocoa Pops and there's fluoride in Froot Loops and there's, I'm going, what? What the heck is it doing? And that stuff. Pesticides operate in a lot of cases because they have fluoridated compounds. Sadly, the dentists have begun to add fluoride to their filling materials, their cements, they even put a varnish on children's teeth. I don't believe these have been legitimately FDA approved. I've checked on them, there's no new drug applications on file for fluoride to be ingested and none have been submitted. So if you're going to give a child a dose of fluoride, show me the FDA approval where that's beneficial and even safe. It doesn't exist. I've been collecting water labels from my travels. There's baby water, which is a crime. You can go to a CVS pharmacy right now and you can find a gallon jug of water, it's called nursery water, and it says formulated with extra fluoride for growing babies or something like that. It should have a skull and crossbones on it, should be like, if you want to kill your baby, you know, feed them this. It's that bad. There's a lady that was crippled by drinking Lipton ice tea. It took almost 10 years for the doctor to figure out what her problem was. She was bent over like this and had terrible back pain and kept going back to the doctor saying, you know, my lower back hurts. They identified the fact that she had skeletal fluorosis and it came from instant Lipton ice tea. It's in so many things and you just don't realize. So one thing that we're learning is that fluoride is virtually in everything. That's why it's so imperative to get it removed from our community because it's not just a tap water that's contaminated, but the majority of these products contain fluoride. The problem is anything with water in it has this toxic chemical in it, fluoride. Is that frightening you? Is it alarming you? That's really scary, especially since I have a newborn here that's living off the formula. So whether it be milk, juice, mustard, ketchup, cereals, it's in everything. When you water your plants with tap water that is fluoridated, the plants take it up, then you end up eating it. You can't boil it out. Distilled water has fluoride in it as well. You can't evaporate it out. The only way to get it out is to have it turned off. We took with us in our documentary in China a little fluoride tester from La Motte, L-A-M-O-T-T-E, La Motte company. It's called an ion specific electrode. One thing we should do Paul is maybe go see Dave Kennedy and get that fluoride tester. Good idea, then we can test all the products. Let's test all the products. So basically what we have is a means of testing everything under the sun for fluoride, including water, and you can test anything you want to. So what you do is you start off with your standard beneficial dose of fluoride one part per million. Like all you do is you start out here and you standardize it and when it comes to one you stop it. Gotcha. And then and you're all set. We know it's calibrated because this is one part per million. Exactly. Every restaurant I go into says oh we have a filter and so I always invite them well give me give me a sample and I'll test it for you. So here's the Adams Avenue grill. When you test it you come up with the same as the tap water. Once you get fluoride in it's hard to get it out. Is it alright if we use this thing or what? Sure, take it with you. So today is our big test day. Paul and I have gone out and we bought the majority of bottled water brands that we could find in my local supermarket. We're gonna test it. We want to find out what exactly is in it as far as the fluoride and what levels. We're also gonna be looking at tap water today too and we're doing this with our tracer fluoride pocket tester. This puppy right here is gonna allow us to measure the parts per million of fluoride in pretty much any liquid substance we can get our hands on. So get ready. It should be interesting. We'll start with my tap water. These tablets assist the electrode and the tester to pick up the fluoride traces. All right. This is the fluoride added baby water, nursery water since 1948. Right around the time we started testing with water fluoridation. So it really blows me away about this is why would you need to add fluoride to water that already has fluoride in it. But I guess if it's in a bottle water with a nice little pretty label of elmo it's it's okay to be drinking and ingesting it just what blows me away is where's the poison control number should be on every bottle. Did you know that bottled water is not controlled by the government? And guess who does all the research on it? The water companies. The ones making the bottled water they say this is this this is this. If you want to look at what you know chemicals or trace amount of contaminants are in bottle different bottled waters you have to go on the company's websites and go look up their information and in some case they won't even provide it to you. I just picked this up as an example when I was down in Cabo San Lucas a few months ago and you can see it's a bottled water made by Nestle's and then if you got a really good eyesight and you get your magnifying glass out over here you can see that it has the elements of calcium magnesium sodium potassium bicarbonate and no fluoride in there. That's the deal and so you can go to Italy Germany France Holland Denmark anywhere in the world except America and pick up a bottle and they'll tell you what's in it. But in America we'll tell you how much factor is in it. It's just insane and you don't have to believe me. Here's San Bernardino from Italy that has bicarbonate the calcium magnesium silica. They even tell you how much sand there is in it now. And here's fluoride at point zero six. Here's here's primavera from Italy again and it's got bicarbonate sulfates chlorine calcium magnesium sodium silica and no fluoride in it because they people they know people don't want to be drinking fluoride so if you were in Italy or Europe or someplace else where they actually had reasonable labels on their water they'd tell you what's in it. Here they pretend like it doesn't exist. You can get Poland Springs and all it does is say is since 1845 our natural spring water has been wonderful and good and all that stuff and they forgot to mention if there was anything in it. So why don't we tell them that here? We don't tell them that here because we want to sell them tap water in plastic. We're gonna try calling all these bottle water companies and supposedly they will release whether or not they're adding fluoride to their bottle water. Hi I'm just trying to figure out what levels fluoride are present in Fiji's water. We don't take anything from the water. The water is untouched by men. The fluoride level on the adulthood mountain spring water smokes waves between no detected to up to 1.3 milligrams per liter. This is naturally occurring at the springs. There's no mean added. All right thanks so much Maureen. Have a nice day sir. You too. Bye bye. Bye bye. Reading that script huh? They're all saying that's that level at the spring. How can those levels be natural? One thing that people really don't understand is you know they might their argument might be well I don't drink tap water or I don't drink any of these brands or I only drink distilled water. Well do you cook with it? Because if you're cooking with tap it's getting right into your food. Do you drink orange juice or milk or Gatorade? How about coca-cola or anything? You got to realize the water in all these products is just as contaminated so you can't get away from it even if it's organic orange juice the water is treated with fluoride and there are gonna be trace levels present so there is no getting away from it and the only way of getting away is to have it removed. It's toxic on all levels regardless of the amounts it's just not supposed to be there. We get enough fluoride for my dental products whether it's brushing our teeth with fluoridated toothpaste or using a mouth rinse with fluoride. The amount that we're swallowing when we rinse our teeth or brush our teeth is enough more than enough. When you find out all the facts and the evidence that fluoride it is not good for you you must find a way to follow through with your lifestyle and I say to everybody watching this DVD and this documentary the water is a right of every human being and no government has the right to tell us what should we drink and when and how. It comes out of this? Yeah the government's paying 35 dentists at the Center for Disease Control to go out and promote the addition of silico for the public drinking water so it's making a lot of people who can't do dentistry money. Where money and power are is a magnet to criminals and so Washington DC becomes a vortex of evil. And I'll tell you when you're controlled by a few people which is the government who controls the government? Money. Big money. And if they're about money then we have a conflict of interest. We want our children to grow up healthy and strong and they want to make profits. There are solutions out there. There are answers to this. There's a ways to get around and possibly clean up your system. What can we do? There are some simple things that individuals can do. You can buy a household RO filter reverse osmosis that removes most fluoride but not all. You can use countertop filters and sink filters. Many of them have have carbon block elements and other media inside that can collect many of the harmful elements that are packaged along with fluoride. It's called the Berkey filter. It's a two-part component. You fill it up with water. There are two carbon-active filters there. I mean they're really powerful. They clean every type of metals, every type of chemicals and also most of the bacteria. I can put water from any type of swamp, put it here and be drinkable. In my house we've done away with plastic packaging as well and if you look close enough you'll notice these five-gallon jugs are all glass. These water vendors are virtually everywhere and the best part about this option is that I can get 25 gallons of the cleanest water I can find for $5. And for those of us that can't afford a reverse osmosis system for our house, it's a good start. Remember it's all about limiting your exposure. But the big problem is you can get the best water in the world to drink and cook with, but what are you gonna do about your shower? In fact I would even say don't shower in tap water. That's so toxic that look where I live now I'm drinking and showering in either rain water or well water. If we have the ability financially to purchase these filters and these purification systems, it is the most important investment you could make for your family. You really need to invest in yourself, in your food, in what you're drinking and more than you are your clothes or your electronics or your car. It is the priority. When you accumulate all these chemicals in your body, you have to do something to get rid of it. The antidote to fluoride poisoning is calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, selenium and iodine. And you can get rid of it with perspiration, which is saunas. You can get rid of it by drinking more water and having it go out in your urine. The right diet can bind to those elements and help clear them out. I'm not drinking any more water with fluoride. I'm not eating foods with fluoride. I'm not cooking my pasta rice soups with the fluoridated water. So I completely take it out of my diet. Certain superfoods like chlorella and herbs like cilantro also bind to heavy metals like mercury and help them pass through your body so that they don't get absorbed in your tissues. You know what we should do? Stop buying fluoride toothpaste. Stop buying it. You know if people started buying the non-fluoridated, guess what they would do? They would start coming out with the non-fluoridated. For example, I buy my toothpaste at Trader Joe's and there is a natural brand, completely natural, for less than what I would pay for the regular garbage. Every product you buy has got a 1-800 consumer number on the side. Flip it over, call them, tell them, I won't buy this unless you sell something that doesn't have fluoride. I'm not buying your product anymore. I mean for anything, where do we start politically, physically? There are two strategies for really getting fluoride out of the water supply. One is that you can have the citizens, you know, protest. Go to the City Council meetings, rise up against the chemical tyrants and demand clean water. Just demand clean water. That's it. And if more people would do something like this instead of just turning a blind eye, that's what's wrong with our country. People see wrongdoing but they just pass it by. Let somebody else take care of it. So I imagine you're kind of going to be the lone ranger standing up and saying, I don't want my water medicated anymore. We should be calling our congressman and trying to say, hey, you know. What are you doing out there? What are you doing around the well? That's our water. I should have to choose if I'm on fluoride in my water. Why am I demanded that I have to have fluoride in my water? If enough people will contact their legislators, contact them either through phone calls, through snail mail, I mean if they get enough of that on a particular issue, by golly, they do set up and take notice. Go there and bitch because that's your public servant, okay? Last time I checked, they work for you. You've got to get a lot of people angry enough that they'll go out and stand in the rain and tell the City Council that they're not going to get reelected if they don't do what we tell them. They're not going to keep their seat if they continue to poison our water. If you follow the democratic process, then this issue has already been solved. Unite and let's make it happen because that's, I was thinking about it today, and I'll just wrap with this, but I was thinking about it today because I knew you were coming over, and I just sat there and I just, I literally just prayed to God. I said, God, I don't know what, there's got to be a way, open up a way that we can help this nation and the world get its health back, and let health be the number one priority and profits that's next, not profits over health, and let's let people get the truth. This is all about us taking our world back. It's the time to scream louder, to be bolder, and to show that we got, we cannot be afraid. It's time that the people stand up, the silent majority, for their health. Get it out of your community, and then you can drink the water at home, you can drink the water in your office, you can drink the water in the restaurants and friends houses, so you don't have to worry anymore. Alright folks, so here we are, we're right back where we started in San Diego, right in front of City Hall. Let's recap the whole fluoride thing, shall we? Fluoride is not regulated by the FDA, the CDC, or the EPA. All these regulatory agencies seem to have washed their hands of it. China, Japan, Czech Republic, India, Israel, I mean the list goes on and on and on. Apparently here in the US, there seems to be no debate whatsoever, and according to the ADA, science is on the side of fluoride. Not only are the politicians crooked, but apparently the scientific community is for sale too. Is there any truth? How frightening is that? Let's remember that list of side effects, shall we? We have dental fluorosis, bone disease, thyroid gland suppression, the list of cancers, lower IQs, I mean don't even take my word for it. Even the EPA has done animal studies that show dementia-like side effects at one part per million. One part per million. That's the level of fluoridation in our tap water. I mean, doesn't that make you sick? That's what got me going. Once I started realizing what's happening to the children, I mean I couldn't sit still, and I don't know how everybody can just sit back and let this happen. Just please, I beg of you to just look into it. And once you're armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to maybe make the educated decisions to protect yourself, and more importantly, your loved ones. Because isn't that what this is all about? If these regulatory agencies aren't going to do it, then it's up to you. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're such a sweet, sweet soul. Again, Charlie, thank you so much for letting us come by here today. I would just like to say, great speech. Thank you for all your work you've done over the years, and your discoveries, and your journey, and just everything. Thank you so much. You're the man. Thanks so much. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. It's been a treat. It's a pleasure to talk to you, and I'm hoping that this will get the message to more and more people. This is fantastic. It's going to be a great educational tool, and we appreciate you being here. And thank you so much, and we look forward to seeing you again. Likewise. Thanks for having me. You guys are incredibly powerful, and I want to say thank you for what you're doing for all of this. I really wish this project the greatest success. People need to hear this message from all of those that you've interviewed. This is powerful information, and I imagine that in 50 years, people will be watching this. Some DVDs will survive. Yeah. Yeah. I just got the chills. And they'll be watching this, and they'll look back and say, there were some filmmakers who did know what they were covering, who weren't willing to just sell out and do some explosions and on-screen sex and this and that. They actually had a message for humanity. That's what you guys are doing. So with that being said, that concludes our water, part one of a three-part series, The Great Cullen. We still need to tackle our food and our air, because they're just as contaminated as the water we drink. Thanks again, and God bless. Who ever thought this would happen in a lifetime? The tyranny of the population of our own kind. And now they're spraying poisons in our skies. They can't drown into the barium and fluoride. The system's here to keep the population sick at all times. Especially the ones with no insurance, they gonna die. While the rest of the souls and their minds will survive, that glowing insta-grade calling and we all gonna die. These sheep on lights go away and believe all their lives, like when FEMA tell you that they're here to keep you alive. Just ask the people of New Orleans who believe all their lives. A FEMA took them to a dump where the elderly died, cause there was no food or water, either medical supplies. I think the city of New Orleans was a blood sacrifice. I wonder if they do as far as shooting waves in the sky. They try to depopulate 90 percent, but die.
