Water Contaminants From a Medical Perspective - Meet Dr. Denise Sibley

Ever wondered what's really flowing from your tap when you turn on the faucet? The truth might shock you.

Dr. Denise Sibley, a board-certified internal medicine physician with 35 years of experience, joins us to pull back the curtain on water contamination in municipal systems. As both a medical expert and a customer who discovered the benefits of advanced water filtration, Dr. Sibley offers a unique perspective on how water quality directly impacts our health.

The conversation reveals disturbing facts about what's lurking in our drinking water. In Johnson City alone, nine contaminants exceed safety standards established by the Environmental Working Group—some at alarming levels of 275 times acceptable limits. Dr. Sibley methodically explains how aluminum, chlorine, fluoride, microplastics, and other toxins in our water supply can damage our brains, disrupt our hormonal systems, and potentially contribute to serious health conditions.

"If you could do one thing for your health," Dr. Sibley emphasizes, "it would be to have a proper water filtration unit." She explains why reverse osmosis stands as the gold standard for removing harmful substances like aluminum (a known neurotoxin) and fluoride (which the CDC acknowledges can decrease children's IQ). She introduces the fascinating concept of "Zeta potential"—how properly filtered water improves blood flow and cellular hydration by removing positively charged particles that cause blood cells to clump.

We welcome medical expert DrDenise Sibley to discuss the
health risks associated withwater contaminants and the
impact that they have on yourwell-being.
You might be surprised by thedangers lurking in untreated
water.
Welcome back everyone.
Skip Mahoney, co-host slashproducer, back in the studio
with Dan Toth and Dr DeniseSibley.

(00:56):
Dr Sibley, dan, welcome to theshow.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Thanks, skip.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Thanks, I hope you're doing well today.
Thanks, skip.
Thanks, I hope you're doingwell today.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Doing all right.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Very good, very good.
Well, dan, we've got a specialguest with us here in the studio
, so, if you don't mind, whydon't you tell us a little bit
about what she's going to betalking to us about?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah.
So it's my pleasure tointroduce to you my friend, dr
Denise Sibley.
She is a local doctor and acustomer of Mountain View Pure
Water.
Back when I met Dr Sibley aboutfour years ago, I came to her
home to do a water test, justlike I do for anyone who calls
Mountain View Pure Water.
I talked to her and her husbandabout all the contaminants in

(01:39):
the water and how they caneffectively remove those things.
As I was getting to the end ofthe presentation and showing
them the different products andoptions that they had, dr Sibley
revealed that she was aninternal medicine doctor and had
been for 30 years.
At that point and I kind of wastaken back and I said, oh, did I

(02:00):
say everything correctly?
And she said, yes, I'm verypleased with how you presented
it and you told me the truth.
And I was pretty glad aboutthat because I hadn't talked to
many doctors to get theirperspective on my presentation
and the things that I wastelling people.
And so when we got to the pointof figuring out which products
she wanted, she said, oh, I wantthe whole house system and I

(02:23):
want this reverse osmosis system.
And her husband shouted fromthe other room and I want an
ultraviolet sterilization system.
And I thought I said this outloud.
I said why do you want that?
You're on city water.
And Dr Sibley put her hand onmy hand and said very quietly
he's a pathologist, just get himthe system he wants.

(02:44):
And so we ended up installing awhole house system with
ultraviolet sterilization and areverse osmosis in their home.
Wow, and.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I bought two more systems for other family members
.
I'm so happy with my system.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Very good.
Well, dr Sibley, from a medicalperspective, what are water
contaminants?
So, dr Sibley, from a medicalperspective.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
What are water contaminants?
Well, let me tell you a littlebit about my background.
So I'm a board certifiedinternal medicine physician.
I've been in this area for 35years and COVID landed in my lap
in 2020.
It was a God thing, and thatsort of opened my eyes to a lot
of things I hadn't thought about, and I was thinking about all
of the different toxins andpoisons that we're exposed to.

(03:27):
Some people call it the greatpoisoning.
So COVID itself, as we know now, even from the White House page
, it was released from a lab andthen the shots had a poison in
them, and then we have poisonsfrom the air, poisons in the
water, poisons in the soil, andI became aware that my drinking
water, even though it was citywater, municipal water from

(03:49):
Johnson City it didn't tasteright.
It tasted like my swimming pool, the chlorine, and I was
concerned about the contaminantsin it.
For the first time, I'd reallystarted looking at all these
things that were affecting usand, as most homes are, most
medical decisions are made bythe wife or the mother in a home

(04:09):
, and so I was the one that wentin search of water purity Dan
was actually the third personthat I had contacted and the
other guys.
They just looked at me, thisblank stare, my questions.
They had no idea what I wastalking about, what I wanted and
why.
And when Dan came he knew whatI wanted and why and was

(04:32):
conversant scientifically evenfor what I wanted.
One was the taste of my water,the chlorine.
Why is chlorine bad?
It affects the taste.
I don't want to be drinkingchlorine when you're taking a
shower.
The taste.
I don't want to be drinkingchlorine when you're taking a
shower.
For instance, when you heat upthe water, the off-gassing of
the chlorine is released and itcan affect your throat.
If you're a singer which I am asinger it can affect your voice

(04:55):
, your lungs.
But really it's the aluminum,the fluoride, the
organophosphates, themicroplastics that I'm concerned
about in the water and I wantedthose gone.
And I feel that if you could doone thing for your health
positive thing, it would be tohave a proper water filtration

(05:16):
unit.
I had tried some littlerefrigerator pitchers through
the years.
I felt it was time to reallytake charge.
I asked for the whole housecarbon filter.
We wanted the UV light forpathogens because this great
poisoning was taking place.
I felt our water supply wasvulnerable to pathogens.

(05:38):
With Hurricane Helene we hadthat up close and personal.
Where my daughter lives inNorth Carolina they had to boil
water for months.
They just lifted it months ago.
It was for a long, long timeand because she had the UV light
she didn't have to do the boilwater.
It has implications for thecleanliness of your water and

(06:04):
the pathogens that would be likebacteria and things that could
make you sick from the water.
The fluoride was an issue.
It's a neurotoxic agent.
That means it damages yourbrain.
The CDC has said that fluoridedecreases children's IQ by four
points.
It affects adults as well.
Too much fluoride leads tofluorosis in the bones, the

(06:26):
teeth, pineal gland and it's aneurotoxic agent.
Are nine contaminants that inour Johnson City water.
They're above the standards ofthe environmental working group

(06:53):
and some of them aresignificantly over, like 275
times the acceptable limit andthat is the halocetic acids
limit and that is the haloaceticacids and so you know there's a
total.
Trihalomethanes is 171 timesthe acceptable limit.

(07:15):
There's 18 contaminants totalin our Johnson City water.
That's from the municipalsystem today, so you're drinking
those.
Yes, I'm on city water, butit's not a pure water and that's
what I wanted.
And that's what Dan was able toinstall.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, you mentioned chlorine and fluoride.
What are some other long-termhealth issues associated with
chlorine?
I mean because everybody's gotchlorine and fluoride in their
water.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
if you've got city water, Well chlorine, it's not
good for your lungs.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
We're now using bromide.
It's been an interestingtransition that the municipal
water treatment plants have beenusing sanitization.
10, 15 years ago it was allchlorine and then they moved to
chloramines, where you addammonia to chlorine, which we
all understand.
That's a poison, that's right,that's bad.

(08:10):
They use that because it savedthem some money and it worked
further on down the line,because chlorine will naturally
dissipate after a certain amountof time and distance, but the
chloramine didn't dissipate.
It actually had to interactwith something.
Do you have any concepts onwhether that can be something
that would harm us in any way aswe ingest the chloramines?

(08:31):
I remember that it's in thesame time period, five to 10
years ago, that this bigunderstanding about how our
digestive system and ourmicrobiome was being affected
our digestive system and ourmicrobiome was being affected,
that's.
We don't have anythingdefinitive on that.
It kind of correlates.
And so chloramines wereexchanged out just recently and

(08:54):
if you understand where bromidecomes from, it's in the halo
group on your periodic table.
You have bromide.
Chloride, fluoride and iodineare the halos.
So they just changed out onething that had maybe a bad
reputation as being a sanitizerfor another sanitizer.
So maybe it sounds a littlebetter to certain people who
aren't aware.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
But we know that the bromides are bad in bakery goods
.
I mean, that's something youshould avoid.
So the other thing that reallyconcerned me in the water supply
was the aluminum.
Me in the water supply was thealuminum, because if you just
buy your standard water filter,it's not going to get rid of the

(09:33):
fluoride or the aluminum.
The reverse osmosis is the goldstandard for removing that.
Aluminum should not be in yourbody.
We have no recommended dailyallowance of aluminum but yet
our water contains aluminum.
We might cook in aluminum pans,in Teflon, in some ceramic that
has aluminum coating, and weknow that aluminum is falling

(09:57):
from the sky.
We know that aluminum is in thesoil because Monsanto has made
aluminum resistant seeds.
So obviously there was a reasonthey had to do that.
But aluminum should not be inyour body and our water has
aluminum in it.
It is a direct neurotoxin, it'sa neuroinflammatory substance.

(10:18):
We get a lot of aluminum frominjectable things called
vaccines and they use that aswhat's called an adjuvant, so it
would stimulate the immuneresponse to an injected vaccine.
So aluminum can enter your bodythat way and it's very
neuroinflammatory.

(10:40):
So aluminum is very bad foryour brain, probably bad for
your gut microbiome as well, butit's very, very bad for your
brain and we don't require that.
You know iron?
We do require Copper, yes, butnot aluminum, and that's one
thing I wanted out of my wateras well and reverse osmosis.
As far as I understand, it isthe gold standard for removing

(11:02):
fluoride and aluminum, which arevery difficult to remove.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
I love the RO.
Now, one thing about as amedical suggestion the reverse
osmosis is a wonderful thing andI think it tastes very smooth
and it's very good water todrink.
It does remove some of themetals or the things that you
might need, like magnesium.
So I would suggest that youtake a magnesium supplement, not

(11:29):
magnesium oxide, one of theother ones, magnesium 3-unate,
magnesium citrate, one of theother magnesium products, but
that is one that you probablywant to replace if you have a
reverse osmosis system.
But the reverse osmosis is awonderful way to remove toxins
and it's my understanding thatit also removes microplastics

(11:52):
and there's a couple of recentstudies and things out there
that say we have the equivalentof a plastic spoon sized amount
of microplastics in our brain.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I feel like some girls I have too, dietary
allowance or RDA formicroplastics.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
So microplastics are in our municipal water and
that's another.
The municipal water, as far asI understand, uses a
flocculating agent with aluminum, so that's another source for
aluminum that we don't want inour water.
But the microplastics are a bigproblem because there's so many
plastics thrown away.

(12:32):
They're in our water, they'reat our sea and they're leached
from bottles, plastic waterbottles and everything that we
store.
You know all the plasticstorage containers.
Everything is plastic, plastic,plastic.
That's why I have my glasswater bottle and I store things
in glass.
I never put anything.
I really don't use my microwavemuch anymore, but I would never

(12:55):
put anything plastic in mymicrowave like I used to.
So you know microplastics areanother thing that concerned me
that I feel like my water systemtries to get rid of.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
So reverse osmosis, sounds like, is the most
effective way to removewaterborne pathogens and
chemicals.
Aluminum, that's so scary.
It's like I had no idea there'saluminum in our water.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
There is aluminum in our water and that is again
unbound.
Aluminum does not occur innature and it should not be in
your body.
Now you know we have lots ofaluminum bound to things
aluminum structures and aluminumpots and pans, which I've
gotten rid of.
But you should not havealuminum and it is affecting

(13:46):
people's brains and we want thatout and we know that aluminum.
I'm in a space where last yearin the United States to ban the

(14:08):
intentional release ofsubstances into the stratosphere
and atmosphere, and I know thataluminum is being sprayed in
the stratosphere and that is forsolar radiation modification.
What does that mean?
It means they are sprayingaluminum to try to make a mirror
effect in the upperstratosphere so that we can

(14:30):
block the sun and make itreflect back and that's so that
we can reach the limits thatwere established with the Paris
Climate Accord which said thatwe will not raise the
temperature of the earth morethan 1.5 degrees celsius, and so
they want to block the sun andreflect it back, and what better

(14:51):
way than with a metal, andaluminum is one of their
favorite metals.
They also use cadmium, barium.
They also spray sulfur dioxide,silver iodide, but you know
those are.
They can spray a lot of thingsin the air, but aluminum is
raining down on us and it's inthe soil.
That's where the soil aluminumcomes from, and that's why

(15:12):
Monsanto had to invent analuminum resistant seed.
So I know that some people callit a toxic soup.
We live in and I'm aware of this.
I didn't used to be, but it hastaken hundreds of hours of
study on my part, which COVIDwas the big wake up call for
most of us.
It's accelerated in terms ofwhat is being added to our

(15:37):
atmosphere, our water and thetoxins that are out there.
So I think we should be awareand, as much as we can, guard
our family and our own health.
One of the best things you cando for your health is to have a
pure water source.
Another thing that I've had tolearn about is called the Zeta

(15:58):
potential.
So what's the Zeta potential ofwater.
Well, the Zeta potential is theability of the dispersion of
water and chemicals within thewater and to suspend them
without clumping.
So if the zeta potential isimpaired, things will clump in

(16:19):
your blood.
And the zeta potential of waterif it's affected by a lot of
positive charges, such ascharges from metals, charges
from aluminum, charges fromfluoride, a lot of the heavy
metals, vaccines, spike protein,you name it, there's a lot of
things.
Even well, water can have thesemetals in them and they can

(16:41):
have positive charges.
And that impairs the zetapotential within your body to
have the potential more likelyto clump and not flow through
your blood as well as it should.
Maybe the blood cells clump.
What would that give you?
Well, that would give you amicro clot or a little blood

(17:04):
clot or a big blood clot, astroke, a heart attack and a lot
of the vaccine injuries we'reseeing do relate to micro
clotting.
Vaccine injuries we're seeingdo relate to microclotting.
So, trying to restore the zetapotential by deionizing your
water, which is what a reverseosmosis does, it takes out those
positive charges and you knowthat's a big word Sounds very

(17:27):
like physics, but that restoresthe zeta potential so that
within your blood, the water canget into your cells better, can
hydrate yourselves better.
It can restore the flow of yourblood cells within the serum,
the plasma, and so I thinkthat's one of the best things

(17:48):
you can do is to restore thezeta potential of the water
within your body by deionizingall of the things that are
coming at your body with thesepositive charges, trying to get
rid of those positive charges.
So that's another thing thatI'm learning about and have
learned, and I feel like that'sa restorative process for a lot

(18:12):
of people and removing stufffrom the water.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
essentially, this is one of the things I tell all of
my potential customers actuallyhelps you to hydrate which is
the reason we drink water.
So the less stuff that's in thewater, the more bioavailable it
is for your cells to behydrated, and I think that would
be a summary of what you said.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Absolutely yes, and you remove the bad stuff,
whether it's positive charges,the bad substances, and you're
better able to get real waterhydrated to your cells and
across the membranes to get yourblood flowing better and your
circulation flowing better.

(18:59):
And that's all on the same lineswith the more oxygen you laid
all your vessels in the end,it's huge.
The way God made our body isjust fearfully and wonderfully
made and we need to keep thatplumbing system working inside
of our body.
This is one way I think we cansupport it better to be able to
heal itself and to provide theproper nutrition with clean

(19:22):
eating and clean water.
Those are things that you cando that make a huge impact on
your health.
I get no kickback from him.
I speak on my own pleasure athaving clean water and the
security of having clean water,so much so that I bought the
system for two other familymembers.

(19:44):
It is a good investment.
It is one of the bestinvestments you can make and yes
, it is an investment.
But if you don't have yourhealth, you don't have anything
that expensive vacation orcruise or whatever.
You can't go on it because youdon't feel good.
So I think it's a greatinvestment in this time of
thinking about what's in ourenvironment and how we can deal

(20:06):
with it, because we do have totake things into our own hands.
Can't wait for Johnson CityWater District.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Well, that brings another point.
The standards for drinkingwater have not been updated in
almost 20 years Now.
That doesn't make sense.
If we have ongoing researchthat shows things are more and
more contaminated than wethought, you would expect to
have standards follow that, andit just isn't the case, and so
we definitely need to takecontrol of our own health and

(20:33):
make sure that we are takingprecautions where needed.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Absolutely.
Absolutely and when you look atthe EWG water report.
It's not good.
It's not good at all, and it'sconcerning.
We have things in there thatyou would not.
If you read it on a label, youwouldn't drink it, but yet you
are every time you're turning onyour faucet.

(20:55):
I have a dedicated faucet andthank goodness it also runs to
my refrigerator, so I have icethat's clean and I have clean
cold water that comes out of myrefrigerator.
So the reverse osmosis is undermy sink in the kitchen, so
that's where I mainly use it,but the rest of the house has
the UV light and the extensivecarbon filtration.

(21:18):
And that, as I understand it,the extensive carbon filtration
helps the reverse osmosis to bethe most effective and, you know
, because it removes some thingsas well, the whole house system
removes a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
I would say a large amount or a large percentage of
the contaminants, before it evergets to the reverse osmosis.
The reverse osmosis is doing aneven greater job than if we
were to assess it.
Compared to the raw water Right, there's even more removed.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
And one of my family members has a well, so we have a
well too, even though they dohave access to city water.
But you know there werecontaminants in that as well,
and so you know you might say,well, I have well water and I'm
fine, well, you might want tocheck the well water, but it's
proved to be.
You know, we actually have tochange her filter a lot more

(22:09):
than my filter.
So you know this is a great.
I feel very confident in thehealth effects and dealing with
you know we've all been back ormaybe not all of you have, but
you know I before 2020, I tookvaccines.
I gave vaccines.
I thought they were great.

(22:30):
I followed the CDC.
I never did my own research butyou know, just to deal with all
the, say, vaccines that I'vehad in my life, I think it's a
great way to deal with.
The RO is the reverse osmosis isone way that people have even
thought that there's somedetoxification and you know
that's a couple of us medicalfolks feel that way.

(22:53):
I can't bring you a study thatsays that, but we feel like it's
important for detoxificationand if you understand what's
going into our city water.
So everybody's taking medicinesand all those medicines are
being peed out into the toilet,they're going into the water
supply.
All the contraceptives, all theeverything, I mean everything's

(23:18):
going in there and you knowit's being kind of given back to
you, supposedly cleaned up, butthere's a lot of endocrine
disruption which you know thatcan occur.
What would that be Endocrinedisruption?
So now it can affect women intheir menstrual cycles.
You might have young girls whoget their periods early, go

(23:40):
through puberty earlier, youngmales who go through puberty
earlier, which we have seen.
We've seen the puberty age dropand drop and drop in our
country.
Nobody really ever studies why.
But one of the things we knowis there's endocrine disruptors
in our environment and certainlyin our water and in plastics

(24:02):
and in a lot of things.
So puberty, menstrual cycles,menstrual regularity, fertility
of women, fertility of men,their sperm production, their
sperm mobility, so it affectsfertility and being able to have
a family.
So it's a huge thing.

(24:22):
That's a big thing because ourbirth rate is not improving.
In fact, in many areas ofEurope they are way under
replacement birth rate.
I think we're right atreplacement or slightly under
replacement, and that means youknow if there are two people
having children, then you know,two people would replace the two

(24:44):
people, so you'd want afertility rate of 2.0.
And a lot of places it's 1.2,or in Japan it's less than that.
So we have something going onwith our fertility and this
perhaps is one way to deal withit.
I think that we can take thingsinto our own hands.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Absolutely, absolutely Well.
Dr Sibley, I can't tell you howmuch we appreciate your
expertise.
This is a fascinating subjectand so important.
This has been incrediblyinformative to me.
I feel like the tin man.
I've got aluminum andcontaminants and plastics
flowing through my body.
So I would love, we'd love, to,if possible, get you back on

(25:28):
the show and perhaps go a littledeeper into contaminants, sure.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
We haven't even talked about PFAS.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Maybe we can talk about that next time.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Thank you so much for your time today and we'll catch
you in the next episode.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Y'all have a great rest of the day.
