Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nate Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc.

In order for the nose to do its job well, it needs to be hydrated to defend against contaminants. This makes a BIG difference in your health and wellness especially during the seasonal allergy season which effects about 50 million people in the United States. Nate Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc., discusses effective, natural nasal and dental hygiene. The conversation covers the company's battle with the FTC over claims about their xylitol-based nasal sprays and oral care products, which were found scientifically valid despite the FTC's initial opposition. Nate shares insights on the use of xylitol for nasal and dental health, their new product lines, including dental probiotics, and the company's commitment to health freedom. The talk also delves into the broader implications of government regulations on natural products and free speech.

Fluoride and its presence in public water has become a hot-button issue in the United States. More and more communities and government officials are rethinking whether the benefits fluoride provides our teeth outweigh its potential health risks. But history shows fluoride is no stranger to controversy or conspiracy theories. Over the years, the naturally-occurring mineral compound has been blamed for turning women into nymphomaniacs, populations into “moronic, atheistic slaves”, and perhaps most popularly, it's been accused of being a weapon in a vast communist plot to overthrow democracy. What's true and what's not? The needle is moving. ***Keep up with us on Instagram @theconspiracypod!

Story at-a-glance Florida became the second U.S. state to ban water fluoridation after Governor DeSantis signed legislation calling it "forced medication" without informed consent; the ban takes legal effect July 1, 2025 — that's when public water systems must stop adding fluoride and state regulators can begin enforcement A National Toxicology Program review of 72 studies found consistent evidence that fluoride exposure lowers children's IQ scores and impairs cognitive development Multiple states including Ohio and Texas are considering similar bans while federal agencies reevaluate fluoride recommendations under new leadership Research links fluoride to thyroid dysfunction and neurological harm, with doses as low as 2 to 5 milligrams daily affecting hormone regulation Many European countries rejected water fluoridation decades ago; 98% of Western Europeans now drink non-fluoridated water

Fluoride has been in the news recently with some people questioning the worth of adding this vital mineral to the water supplies in the United States.  Fluoride repairs and prevents damage to teeth caused by bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria in the mouth produce acid when a person eats or drinks. The acid dissolves minerals in a tooth's surface, making the tooth weaker and open to cavities.1 Fluoride replaces the minerals lost from a tooth due to acid breakdown. Some fluoride can replace minerals in the tooth surface, making the outer enamel layer harder to dissolve. Fluoride also may reduce the amount of acid that cavity-causing bacteria produce, as well as making it harder for these bacteria to stick to the teeth.1 Protecting teeth requires consistent, low levels of fluoride in the mouth (in the saliva and on tooth surfaces). Fluoride can also be incorporated into developing dental enamel before a tooth erupts into the mouth, enhancing the tooth's resistance to acid breakdown and preventing cavities later in life. (credits) Some public figures have made false claims that adding fluoride to drinking water poses health risks, such as reduced intelligence in children and cancer. When used at recommended levels, fluoride in drinking water is safe and effective for preventing tooth decay, which also provides benefits for people's overall health. Extensive research has consistently demonstrated that optimal fluoridation does not pose a detectable risk of cancer or other serious health issues.  (credits) The discovery of Fluoride as a preventative for tooth decay. 

**Discussion begins at 6:00**In 1901, Frederick McKay was a dentist who opened a practice in Colorado Springs and found that his patients all seemed to have stained/mottled teeth, but no cavities.  Why was this?  He determined, after nearly 30 years and with the help of other researchers, that they all had what is now called fluorosis – and it was the result of high levels of fluoride in the Colorado Springs drinking water.  He reported his findings to the dental community, and people started comparing fluoride levels and dental hygiene in various geographical areas. In the 1930s, a dentist with the US Public Health Service, sought to determine how high the level of fluoride in the water could be before it caused mottling, in hopes they could remove fluoride from water sources where there were higher levels.  During his study, he learned that low doses had a protective effect.  It was reported that when natural fluoride concentration was greater than 1 part per million, the incidence of cavities was seen to be reduced by some 50-65% and the World Health Organization began to recommend supplemental fluoride where levels were low.In the 1940s and 50s, there was a push to fluoridate water in the US and Canada, reportedly in an attempt to improve dental health.  This practice was immediately divisive, and remains that way today.  Today, the American Dental Association remains a strong advocate of adding fluoride to water and estimates that every dollar spent on fluoridation saves about fifty dollars in future dental expenses.  Nonetheless, for the last7 0 years there have been people who felt that the government had and continues to have a more nefarious goal… Was this all a communist plot to undermine American health or control the population?  Other critics note similarities between MK Ultra studies and fluoridating water.   The potential goal of mind control was even referenced in the 1964 political satire Dr Strangelove – in which one of the characters, General Jack D. Ripper believes that fluoridation of public water supplies is a Communist conspiracy designed to weaken American willpower. He sees it as a sinister plot to destroy "our precious bodily fluids".  Was this all a conspiracy to cover up and get rid of fluoride, an industrial waste product of fertilizer?  Finally, there are those who believe that water fluoridation is an infringement of individual rights - similar to mass medication or vaccination without consent.  Additional concerns surround the potential negative health effects including bone cancer, thyroid issues, and cognitive deficits in children – but what is the truth?    Is fluoride in our water a cheap and effective way to improve dental health?  Or is there something more sinister at play?Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

About the Guest(s): Dr. Kristin Hieshetter is the host of Functional Health Radio. With a background in chiropractic care and expertise in functional health and wellness, Dr. Kristin is dedicated to bringing accurate and cutting-edge information to her listeners. She is committed to improving public health through education and is involved in Functional Health University and associated initiatives. Episode Summary: In this insightful episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter continues her exploration of fluoride and its controversial role in public health. Following the recent federal law that mandates the removal of fluoride from drinking water due to its harmful effects on children's IQs, Dr. Kristin delves into fluoride's potential links to bone diseases and cancer. She emphasizes the need for advocacy at local government levels to ensure the law is implemented effectively. Dr. Kristin critically examines a wealth of research, offering a balanced view of fluoride's implications on health. The episode is rich with historical and scientific context, exploring studies from as far back as 1977. Dr. Kristin reviews literature on the correlation between fluoride exposure and bone cancer, highlighting the significant debates within the scientific community. She underscores the necessity of questioning existing scientific studies and offers practical advice on minimizing fluoride exposure, emphasizing the vital role of water filtration and careful selection of dental hygiene products. This episode serves as a wake-up call for listeners to become more proactive about the substances they and their families ingest. Key Takeaways: New federal law requires the removal of fluoride from drinking water due to its negative impact on children's IQs. Historical and recent studies suggest potential links between fluoride exposure and increased cancer risks, although findings are inconsistent. There is a critical need to filter drinking water to protect against various contaminants beyond fluoride. The design and execution of many past studies on fluoride exposure are flawed, lacking evaluations of urinary fluoride excretion. Advocacy is crucial for implementing and enforcing the new fluoride regulations by actively engaging with local government authorities. Notable Quotes: "The EPA legal allowable limit if you dose people in their water…we are overdosing fluoride, and it is negatively impacting children's IQs." "Fluoride is an inorganic poison…if you don't put it in the water in trace amounts, it can cause crippling skeletal fluorosis." "Let's think critically…Start to question more. More and more and more. Start to question more." "Drinking water fluoride levels were not associated with cancer according to this study of a whole bunch of kids who had cancer." "Be the change you want to see in the world and keep letting that positive light shine."

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently said he plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending fluoridation nationwide. Jessica Steier, DRPH, PMP, CEO of Unbiased Science and host of the Unbiased Science Podcast and Linda Birnbaum, scientist emeritus and former director of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, as well as the National Toxicology Program and scholar in residence at the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University, parse fact from myth and what the science says about water fluoridation.

No, Pascual did not get abducted by a UFO ... but neither did three kids in 1969, we're pretty sure. We have Pascual back to explain how his podcasting sabbatical has turned into a retirement, alas. Then we discuss how fluoride is connected to addiction and crime rates, some alternatives to the CDC for accurate public health information, and the viability of reopening Alcatraz as a prison. Our main topic is a ufo abduction incident that occurred on Labor Day weekend 1969 in Massachusetts ... or perhaps (as Ben suggests) the real "incident" occurred in 2018? Three kids were allegedly taken into alien crafts and examined, then returned, in plain sight of hundreds of people -- at least that's the story if you don't look a little deeper. And you know we will.

The battle over whether we should be putting fluoride in our water has reached fever pitch. We've got U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and anti-fluoride activists saying it's a neurotoxin that's lowering our IQs. But supporters say that fluoride is a safe and effective way to protect our teeth from cavities, and that stopping water fluoridation would lead to a spike in tooth decay. To find out who's right, we talk to epidemiologist Dr. Ashley Malin and community health scientist Professor Lindsay McLaren.  Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsFluoride  In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Chapter 1: Why did we start water fluoridation?  (07:00) Chapter 2: What can fluoride do at really high levels?  (11:18) Chapter 3: Can low doses of fluoride affect the brain?  (20:41) Chapter 4: Anything else to worry about?
