Now I know we are all different species of bought-and-paid-for industry shills. For the dentists, exhibit A is dental products, B is fluorIdation, C is mercury amalgams and root canals.Exhibit B: fluorideIn America, phosphate fertilizer companies dispose of their industrial waste fluoride by putting it into our drinking water. These companies heavily subsidize the American Dental Association, which in return promotes fluoridation.Swartz (below) writes, "The more [fluoride] is used, the greater the damage to the central nervous system.[145] It should never be used in dentistry or in any product. Putting it in drinking water is criminal… It does not prevent tooth decay. It causes dental problems over time." Fluoride has also been conclusively proven to significantly lower children's IQs. The best way to understand these issues is through the Fluoride Action Network. They are pursuing fluoridators through the US federal courts. In a recent victory, the judge on the case released the summary of the expert science that condemned fluoride use. Biden officials, including Rachel Levine, a transgender admiral and later Secretary of Health, are involved in the litigation on the wrong side.Seventy percent of US communities are victimized by fluoride, but most of the world has banned it. In Europe, for example, 97% of the countries choose not to fluoridate drinking water. If you live in the USA, you must cleanse your water of fluoride using filters or reverse osmosis systems such as Culligan's.Exhibit C: Amalgam "silver" dental fillings and mercury root canalsAmalgams are a pre-Civil War technology that should be outlawed. Half of US dentists acknowledge this and never use them because of the well-known health hazards of their mercury, which has no safe dose. This type of filling is inexpensive and thus more profitable for dentists than newer technologies, so ignorant or unscrupulous practitioners often put them into poor or Medicaid patients. Many dental schools and the American Dental Association have never recognized these dangers and continue to promote mercury fillings against the established science.Support the show

Today on The Adrenaline Zone, Sandy and Sandra welcome Rebecca Brock Dixon, founder of the*gameHERs, a media platform and social network for women who game. In this episode, Rebecca lets us into the world of esports, what it takes to start a business, and why what she's doing with gamers is changing the sport. First up, Rebecca shares how she got into gaming herself, having started in the corporate professional world before moving into entrepreneurship and getting drawn into esports by the huge success of the gaming industry and the fact that half of gamers are women. Next, Rebecca explains exactly what esports is—professional, competitive video gaming—how it's structured and monetized, and what the experience of going to a tournament is like. She also talks about the amazing fan culture and the enthusiasm fans have for their teams and favorite players. Rebecca then focuses on the involvement of women in gaming and esports—about half of the world's three billion gamers are women—and how, despite such numbers, women gamers are often overshadowed, especially in the media and the professional side of gaming. Rebecca suggests that much of this is down to the early marketing of games as “boys' toys” and their reputation as being isolating but points out that women have always been part of the gaming world and are eager to share the great experiences they've had through it. Moreover, she highlights how games can teach valuable, transferable skills, from hand-eye coordination to teamwork, that can be used in myriad industries, including the wide variety of jobs on offer in esports.

The experience at esports tournaments Women in esports Breaking down barriers and stereotypes in the gaming community Building a community for women gamers Quotes: “The statistic that everyone loves to quote is that gaming is twice the size of the movie plus the music industry. So you take movie plus music times two, gaming is still bigger than that. So I thought, wow, I kind of want to learn more about that.” “When the players arrived on stage, it was like madness. I mean, it was just complete celebrity freakout, and all the colors of each team were there, they all have cheers, it is literally like a sporting event. They all have nicknames, and they were giving the heart.” “We are sitting in a moment in time when gaming is intersecting with quite literally everything from education to health care, to the military, to kids, adults. And so, the word gaming itself, the video game industry itself, almost needs a little bit of a rebrand and PR makeover.” “Most of these women want to talk about all the great stuff, you know, how they met their best friends through video games, how they got their career through video games, how they had some serious mental health problems, and video games were a tool that they were able to use. And in fact, one of our strongest partners, one of our most long-term partners is the Center for Suicide Awareness. And one of their main tools that they use is gaming.” “Kids who play on esports teams are more likely to do a lot of the stuff I just said, like the six-figure salary right out of college, but more likely to volunteer in life and be compassionate and charitable. And you know, it makes sense. I mean, you're on a team, you're learning responsibility and disappointment and hard work.” Links: The Adrenaline Zone Homepage Rebecca's LinkedIn the*gameHERs

On this Episode of Under the Library: In the theater, Franny has just asked the spirits "how did my great uncle die?" Everyone else in the theater sees a moving image in the mist depicting a burial. In a cinematic western style, a group of mourners throw dirt on a grave. At the same, Franny hears a voice say "Jack Crabbe, you're gonna meet your maker!", and she sees a black appendage drag a man across the floor. The man says "Millie, it was all my fault" as large teeth snap and a corpse falls to the ground. As the mist coalesces again into a face, Franny sees her great uncle. Beau asks a question about cats eating a corpse, and the face relates a story of Lloyd and his general store. Franny, in shock, faints. Caspar thanks the spirits and dismisses them, and ends his show by disappearing in a flourish. Rutherford leaps onstage to investigate but is thrown off by the two door guards. While the guards are distracted, Jo checks a side door but it's locked. However, she notices a strange purple mist emanating from pinprick holes in the relief work near the floor. Boone begins to feel the effects of the pocket chicken, squats behind a row of seats, and lets loose. The noxious smell wakes Franny and also begins a stampede out of the theater. Bello is trampled and left with a concussion and a broken wing. Jo and Franny help Bello out into the lobby and leave him on a bench. Over the hubbub of the panicked crowd, Levine announces that the theater is in lockdown due to another pack of wild dogs. Residents of the town know that every 3-6 weeks, authorities move from door to door warning of wolves or rabid dogs. The town has generally been compliant and stayed indoors during these times. However, none of us have seen the creatures firsthand. Boone and Culligan discuss the show and the appearance of the spirits, and they decide to talk to Dick. Dick is convinced that everything was mere illusion, but Jo avers that the spirits are from another realm and therefore dangerous. Finally, Levine announces that the animals have been contained and our lockdown is finished. ------------------------ Bloodstone is an original Call of Cthulhu sandbox, designed by Under the Library's Keeper, and features weekly actual play / live play / real play sessions.

On this Episode of Under the Library: Having left Dick's house, everyone is killing time before the show. At the General Store, John Boone meets Jo's boss Belinda. She overcharges him for 3 cans of beans and some gum for Culligan. Jo feels bad and steals an extra can of beans for Boone. Culligan, Boone, and Jo arrive at The Classic and hear an animated conversation in the foyer. One voice belongs to John Levine, the theater owner, and the other voice wants to sell him fried chicken. Bello Poulet, dressed in pants with suspenders over a chicken costume, has patented the first greaseless fried chicken. As Culligan, Boone, and Jo loiter outside of the theater eating fried chicken, they are joined by Franny, Dick, and Rutherford. The group heads into the theater, maneuvering around Bello in his chicken suit. Rutherford immediately breaks off from the group to investigate. He attempts to talk his way past a couple of burly guards to get backstage but is rebuffed. The rest of the group settles into their front row seats as Levine walks onstage to introduce the opening act, singer Lana Peret, who looks like a brunette Dolly Parton in a long black dress with tattoo sleeves of abstract symbols. Her deep, rich voice is breathtaking, and as she finishes the theater erupts into applause. Finally Caspar Muscovane takes the stage with his assistant Ms. Sara Banner. Jo volunteers to assist with a card trick and watches as he creates an elaborate tower taller than his head. With the wave of a hand, the tower disappears without a trace, ending Act 1. During this final trick Franny may have glimpsed the glint of a mirror from the side of the stage. During Act 2 there is a crash in the back of the theater, followed by screams. Caspar says "don't be alarmed. These are spirits from around the world. I have summoned them." He demands that the audience ask the spirits questions, and Culligan, Boone, and Franny oblige. Next week we will learn the outcome of Franny's question: "how did my uncle die?' ------------------------ Bloodstone is an original Call of Cthulhu sandbox, designed by Under the Library's Keeper, and features weekly actual play / live play / real play sessions.

On this Episode of Under the Library: After wrapping up the scenario "A Mother's Love," the Under the Library crew embarks on Season 2; a new adventure in 1942 Los Alamos, NM. If you want major spoilers for A Mother's Love, start from the beginning of the episode. If you're looking for Season 2, then start after our mid-show break at 29:25. In this ahistorical version of Los Alamos, NM, the town and government facilities have already existed for a decade. We meet a host of local residents and scientists: Dick Feimer: An eccentric architect, Dick dresses in fashionable, well tailored, very snug attire. He's clearly undergone surgery to look younger. Many residents of the town find him odd and avoid him. He designed many of the government laboratories in Los Alamos. Franny Rumsford: A grad student with low level clearance, Franny works in one of the labs that Dick designed and considers him a friend. She carries on the research that her great great grandfather began. Rutherford Frengel: A scientist and egghead, Rutherford was Dick's grad school roommate (and Dick was perhaps his only friend). He worked at a midwestern university but is now more of a beatnik, and settled in Los Alamos. Culligan McGillicuddy: Culligan is a 15 year old aspiring writer who wants nothing more than to leave the small town of Los Alamos. He records any interesting story he comes across in his notebook. Dick Feimer is a role model and they have a great rapport. Jo Barnes: Jo is 16 years old and works in the local general store. She lives in a small room above the store and has a contentious relationship with her employer/landlord. She's from Abiquiu, NM, but refuses to reveal more about her past. Culligan is a close friend. Franny, Rutherford, and Culligan (with Jo in tow), have gathered at Dick's house for lemonade and conversation. As they talk a man toils nearby in the heat, working on Dick's landscaping. Franny invites John Boone to join us. He seems a bit uncomfortable, but eventually settles in and shares his past experiences with the circus, and mentions knowing the magicians Rigatoni and Bologni. Dick invites his five guests to attend a performance in the local theater by renowned magician Caspar Muscovane. In particular, Dick would like Franny and Rutherford to apply their scientific minds and explain to him the magician's process of illusion. ------------------------ Bloodstone is an original Call of Cthulhu sandbox, designed by Under the Library's Keeper, and features weekly actual play / live play / real play sessions.
