Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on
iHeartRadio and welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norri
with you. Doctor Paul connat is a graduate of Cambridge
University holds a PhD in chemistry from Dartmouth College. From
eighty three to two thousand and six, Paul taught chemistry
at Saint Lawrence University in Canton, New York, where he
specialized in environmental chemistry and toxicology. Over the past thirty
(00:24):
three years, his research on waste management has taken him
to forty nine states, seven provinces in Canada, sixty five
other countries, and he has given more than twenty five
hundred public presentations. Paul, welcome back to the program. You're
on our show eight years ago. Almost yes, George, thanks
for having me back. Pleasure. Good to have you with
(00:46):
us too. Hey, let me ask you this. You have
been involved in chemistry and water fluoridation investigation for a
long time. Why do they put fluoride in the water
in the first place? Ostensibly too low tooth decay, That's
what they believed. The evidence is very weak that actually
swallowing fluoride lowers tooth decay. In fact, the promoters now
(01:10):
concede that the major benefit is topical works on the
surface of the tooth. You don't have to swallow it.
Quite frankly, when they admitted that that should have been
the end of water fluoridation if you don't need to
swallow it exactly, because by swallowing it does what to us, Well,
it's very toxic, and we know it's very toxic. It
(01:32):
can kill people. But we know it's toxic because nature
has developed defense mechanisms. Back in about two and twelve,
I think Ron Breaker at Yale University showed that in
certain lower creatures like bacteria and fungi, there were genes which,
when they were switched on by high fluoride levels, they
(01:54):
would produced proteins which went to the membranes and pumped
the floor ride out of the body. They were called
fluoride exporting proteins, And the only reason that nature developed
those was because fluoride is very toxic to the system. Now,
when the time you get to the mammals like ourselves,
we have the kidney. The kidney gets rid of about
(02:16):
fifty percent of the fluoride that we take in and
a lot of the rest is sequestered in our bones.
It's a defense mechanism. Now, the other defense mechanism, which
I've always thought was very very important, was mother's milk.
The mother's breast acts like a filter. Very very little
(02:40):
fluoride is in mother's milk, and so the newborn baby,
it gets very very little fluoride. And obviously if it
was a nutrient or we needed it for something, that's
where you'd expect to find it. But it's not there.
But that also means in a city like Los Angeles,
which is fluoridated, a bottle fed baby is getting about
(03:00):
two hundred times more fluoride than nature intended. Well, plus
we're getting it in our toothpaste. I'm almost every toothpaste
has fluoride in it, doesn't absolutely by over nine of
the toothpaste soul of the United States as floride and
let yours have fluoride, and pesticides and fertilizer, obviously, all
the dental products. In fact, you can't get the ada's
(03:22):
Seal of approval for a dental product unless it's called
fluoride in it. So the ADA is making a lot
of money out of people's willingness to swallow fluoride. I
remember my grade school days. Paul the school district sold
our parents on fluoridation, and what would happen is a
dentist would come to the school and we'd all be
(03:44):
signed up to get fluoride treatments. It was like a
two or three day treatment program and we'd sit there
in this chair while this dentist blasted away at this
fluoride in our mom. I kept coming home telling my mom,
I don't want to do this anymore, and she said, now, Georgie,
it's good for you. You know, they had our parents buffaloed,
but we went through that will that eventually show any
(04:06):
harm to us well, absolutely, and they can't even deny
it because the one thing that they knew in nineteen
forty five, when this nonsense began, was that a certain
percentage of children would get a condition called dental ferosis,
which is a muckling of the teeth to patches, white
patches which some conditions can get yellow browness on. They
(04:28):
knew about ten percent of the kids would get this condition,
but only in its very mild form. Of the trade
off was lower tooth decay. So you lower the tooth
decase and get some kids would get this condition, but
only dentists would recognize it, and that was the mantra
in nineteen forty five. Now run the clock forward to
the current time, and over sixty percent of American teens
(04:52):
kids aged twelve to fifteen now have some form of
dental ferosis, and not all in the stuff. He wouldn't
notice that some mild dental ferosis impacts about twenty percent.
Moderate dental fherosis, which impacts one hundred percent of the
tooth surface two. So this is out of control. It's
(05:16):
an epidemic now, and it's exactly what you said, George.
We're getting fluoride from everywhere today. Correct me, Paul if
I'm wrong, But did I not see like vans and
trucks that had fluoride in them? They were carding it
and it had a skull and bones on it. It's poison,
(05:36):
isn't it. This is the most bizarre aspect to this story.
You would think, wouldn't you, that the fluoride that you
added to the drinking water was a pharmaceutical grade, the
same kind of grade that you put in food product,
dental products, or vitamins or something like that. Now it's
taken from the scrubbing systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry.
(06:00):
It's a spray of water which converts two very toxic gases,
a hydrogen fluid silicon tetrafluid, which are produced when phosphate
rock is treated with sulfuric acid. And these gases decimated
the local areas in Florida, Oak County, Florida for years
until they finally said, we better scrub this stuff out.
(06:21):
So they put a water spray on and that converts
it to a substance called hexaphloroslicic acid, and that's the
stuff that hexaphloroslicicacy, which is contaminated with god knows what,
is then sent untreated to the public water works all
over the country, all over the country. And the way
they get round this they say, the EPA has a
(06:42):
regulation which says hazardous waste must be treated this way
unless unless another company buys the waste from the chemical industry.
So the chemical industry produces a chemical waste and somebody
buys it from him. It then becomes a product and
it's under those those weird conditions that the public water
(07:06):
works now, But of course they buy it from the
chemical industry. It's treated as a product and we can't
dump it into the sea. Can you believe this? So
we dump it into our drinking water. We can't dump
it into the sea, but we flush it through our
bodies en route to the sea. It is incredible, it's bizarre.
(07:26):
And they sell it to the companies that manufacture toothpaste
and stuff like that. I guess now, I think that
the stuff that goes to the tooth manufacturers as a
toothpaste people is pharmaceutical grade, so that would be purified,
that would be pure, which is still not great, but
it's better than dumping the stuff in the water, right absolutely.
And the reason of course if you use pharmaceutical grade,
(07:49):
they say too expensive, because of the water doesn't go
anywhere near your teeth. It goes we washes, the car,
waters the lawn, does the washing, etc. Etc. Etc. Less
than one percent we actually swallow and so very little
goes near our teeth. So you can afford to use
(08:10):
this chemical because if the truth be known, the phosphate
fertilizer industry will give it to you to get rid
of it, because otherwise they have to treat it as
a hazardous waste. But as it is they're making between
one hundred and two hundred million dollars a year out
of this bottom junk. Yeah, unbelievable. Now, who scammed the
American Dental Association and all these dentists who are pro fluoridation? Well,
(08:37):
I think the trouble is, I think the true believers there.
I think if you go back to the nineteen forties,
they really believe this would work. They felt believed that
it was completely safe. They didn't do the science. Now,
this is another extraordinary thing. You know. They started the
trials in forty five in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and in
(09:00):
a place of I've forgotten the name now in New
York State. But they started these trials. They were meant
to be ten year trials. But halfway through them, in
nineteen fifty, the US Public Health Service indorsed fluoridation for
the whole country. Said go ahead, Well, that wasn't scientific.
They hadn't completed the trials, They had practically no health
(09:21):
studies on the books, and after the US Public Health
Service indorsed it, they didn't bother to do any more
studies as far as they were concerned. The whole issue
now was promotion, and that's what we've had ever since
nineteen fifty is the promotion of fluoridation as safe and effective,
safet effective, safe and effective, with very little attempt to
(09:44):
look at the science. The good news is, we are
just beginning to look at some of the science of
florid's impact on tissues like the brain, the thyroid glands,
or things which they should have done seventy years ago,
they're just beginning to do today. And the results are shocking, George,
absolutely shocking. And that was Newburgh, New York, the other
(10:08):
city that's right where they were doing this. Jesus is frustrating,
it really is. And yet so many dentists today think
floride is so good. Yeah, Unfortunately they may not. Many
dentists have the time with their busy practices to actually
read the literature. At dental school. They only get one
(10:29):
thing at dental school. It's perfectly safe, and the people
opposed to fluoridation are in a bunch of lunitudes. That's right,
that's what they're told at dental school. Then they leave,
they start their busy practices and they just don't bother
to do the research, or not many and they just
take the word of the ada in the CDC at
face value, not realizing that these guys are absolutely utterly biased,
(10:56):
and it's very worrying to me that the government agents
should be so biased on something as important as what
our kids are getting in their drinking water. Listen to

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
