Bienvenidos a un nuevo directo en Telegram. Hoy vamos a hablarles del flúor, ese elemento químico amarillo que siendo muy corrosivo, tóxico y altamente reactivo, es capaz de combinarse químicamente con casi todo, nos lo metemos en la boca por “nuestro bien». Los textos que utilizaré provienen del libro “Dossier Flúor” del dr Jean-Marc Brunet y de “The fluoride deception” de Christopher Bryson más algunas adaptaciones libres y artículos escritos por mi en el pasado ya que conocía de los peligros del flúor desde hace más de 20 años. Decirles que mi hija que tiene 18 años jamás ha utilizado pasta de dientes con flúor y tiene una excelente salud dental. El flúor constituye el núcleo elemental de algunas de las mayores fortunas que el mundo ha visto jamás, la riqueza casi inimaginable de los Mellons de Pittsburgh y los Du Ponts de Delaware. Y no es de extrañar que la advertencia en el tubo de pasta de dientes sea tan dramática. La misma potente sustancia química que se utiliza para enriquecer uranio para armas nucleares, para preparar el gas nervioso Sarín y para arrancar acero y aluminio fundidos del mineral de la tierra es la que damos a nuestros hijos a primera hora de la mañana y a última de la noche, con sabor a menta, fresa o chicle. El flúor es una sustancia química tan poderosa que se ha convertido en la savia de la industria moderna, bombeada a toda máquina cada día a través de innumerables fábricas, refinerías y molinos. El fluoruro se utiliza para producir gasolina de alto octanaje; para fundir metales clave como el aluminio, el acero y el berilio; para enriquecer uranio; para fabricar placas de circuitos informáticos, pesticidas, cera para esquís, gases refrigerantes, plástico de teflón, sartenes, alfombras, ropa impermeable, vidrio grabado, ladrillos y cerámica, y numerosos medicamentos, como Prozac y Cipro. “Crea el problema y luego vendeles la solución» frase que bien podría haber dicho Bernays, el mas famoso creador de opinión del siglo XX que también contribuyo a promocionar el flúor. En el libro de Chrystopher Bryson “El engaño del Flúor” nos muestra correspondencia entre el publicitario y el NIDR (Instituto nacional de investigación dental) para que este hiciera campaña a favor de la fluoración. ¿Conocen ese lema que dice “los expertos recomiendan”? Pues es de Bernays. Pero eso ya fue en los 60 y todo esto empezó tras la gran depresión del 1929, cuando las grandes multinacionales no sabían que hacer con sus productos por la gran caída de la demanda. Entre ellos el azúcar. Gerald Judy Cox, químico que participó en la causa de la caries y su “solución». El sr Cox, desarrollo las patentes para transformar la caña de azúcar y el azúcar común sin refinar (que terminaba pudriéndose) en algunos de los productos azucarados que conocemos hoy día. Por si no lo sabían son los ácidos que quedan encima de los dientes tras la transformación del azúcar por las bacterias lo que provoca la caries. Pues este señor que ayudó a que el azúcar terminase empleándose de forma masiva en todo tipo de productos, chicles incluidos, terminó siendo uno de los mayores defensores del uso del flúor para evitar dicha caries, ¿curioso no? Pero veamos dónde empezó todo. Durante la gran depresión, algunas empresas, sobre todo la Aluminum Company of America ALCOA, se enfrentaban a un espinoso problema. Uno de los compuestos naturales del aluminio es la criolita. La criolita es una roca que contiene aluminio, flúor y sodio. Su fórmula química es: Na3AlF6 Por tanto, la criolita contiene tres átomos de sodio, uno de aluminio y seis de flúor en su molécula. Cuando queremos aislar el aluminio, obtenemos como residuo una sal, el fluoruro de sodio. Se trata de una sustancia altamente tóxica que no se encuentra en la naturaleza en su estado puro sino en combinaciones menos peligrosas. El fluoruro de sodio es, por tanto, una sustancia química artificial. Al ser tan tóxico, su comercio esta limitado. Se utiliza en la fabricación de veneno para ratas, como agente blanqueador, como coagulante del caucho, como fijador de tintes, etc. Estos usos del fluoruro de sodio eran ampliamente insuficientes. Se acumulaban enormes reservas de este veneno, sobre todo porque las autoridades gubernamentales impedían a las empresas verterlo en los ríos porque los peces tienen la mala costumbre de morirse después. Como no vendían suficiente y no podían deshacerse de él fácilmente, tuvieron que buscar otra salida para el fluoruro de sodio. Como es habitual en la industria, el problema se remitió a una organización especializada en encontrar soluciones. El Instituto Mellon de Pittsburgh recibió el encargo de encontrar una solución al problema del fluoruro de sodio. El Instituto Mellon, fundado en 1911 por Andrew y Richard Mellon, es un laboratorio de ciencia aplicada abierto a todos los empresarios estadounidenses. Cuando un industrial o fabricante tiene un problema, acude al Instituto y contrata a un científico durante un año. El trabajo del científico consistía en mejorar el producto o encontrarle un nuevo mercado. El Instituto Mellon está actualmente siendo demandado por su defensa acérrima del amianto. El bioquímico Gerald J. Cox del que hablamos antes recibió el encargo de estudiar la delicada cuestión del fluoruro de sodio. Los peligros de esta sustancia química se conocían desde hacía tiempo. Ya en 1920, dos organismos gubernamentales, la Oficina de Minas y el Departamento de Agricultura, expresaban su preocupación por la contaminación por fluoruro. Mientras tanto, sin embargo, el Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU. permanecía en silencio. Hacia la década de 1930, el Servicio de Salud Pública pasó a depender del Departamento del Tesoro. De 1921 a 1933, el Secretario de este Departamento no fue otro que el Sr. Andrew W. Mellon, cofundador del Instituto Mellon, acaudalado financiero de Pittsburgh y miembro de una de las familias más ricas y poderosas de Estados Unidos. La familia Mellon posee y controla, entre otros, el Mellon National Bank, Gulf Oil, Koppers Corp. y la Aluminum Company of America. Antes de ocupar el cargo de Secretario del Tesoro, Andrew Mellon fue Presidente de la Aluminum Company. Fue uno de los más feroces opositores a la campaña contra la contaminación por flúor, ya que la Aluminum Co. era la principal contaminadora en este ámbito. En 1931, dos químicos de la Aluminum Co. descubrieron la causa de las horribles manchas marrones que casi todos los habitantes de Bauxite, Arkansas, tenían en los dientes. El agente responsable era el flúor, presente de forma natural en el agua de la ciudad dada la presencia de una industria minera del mineral del aluminio, la bauxita, que termino dando el nombre al pueblo. El Servicio de Salud Pública también se interesó por la fluorosis dental. En 1933, un miembro del personal, el dentista H. Trendley Dean, fue enviado a estudiar los distintos lugares del país donde la población presentaba este tipo de manchas en los dientes. El objetivo era averiguar qué proporción de flúor era necesaria para provocar tales trastornos. El Sr. Dean descubrió que incluso concentraciones mínimas provocaban las manchas en determinados individuos. Llegó a la conclusión de que con una concentración de una parte por millón, ya el 10-20% de la población presentaba esas manchas. Mientras tanto, el bioquímico Gerald J. Cox, que refinó el azúcar para luego curar las caries que esta provocaba, seguía trabajando para encontrar una solución al problema del flúor. En 1939, publicó su informe de investigación: "...Hay que replantearse la opinión predominante", escribió, "de que el agua debe estar completamente libre de fluoruros...". Sugirió añadir fluoruro sódico al agua potable para prevenir la caries dental. La sugerencia de Cox fue recibida con gran cautela por los funcionarios de salud pública. Incluso el dentista Dean del Servicio de Salud Pública, que dijo haber notado una reducción de la caries dental en lugares donde había mucha fluorosis, expresó sus reservas sobre la teoría de Cox. Todo el mundo era consciente de la falta de pruebas sobre los beneficios de los fluoruros en la dentición humana. Por otro lado, estaba claro que los fluoruros eran venenos extremadamente peligrosos como demostró el médico y científico danés Kaj Roholm en 1937. Y aqui entra el primer presidente de la Sociedad de Toxicología, el Dr Harold Hodge, elegido para encabezar la División de Farmacología y Toxicología de la Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos (AEC) y firme defensor de la fluoración del agua. Pocos saben que el Dr. Hodge, el principal investigador de flúor del país que formó a una generación de decanos de facultades de odontología en los años cincuenta y sesenta, fue el toxicólogo jefe en tiempos de guerra del Proyecto Manhattan. Allí ayudó a coreografiar los tristemente célebres experimentos de radiación en humanos, en los que se inyectaba plutonio y uranio a pacientes hospitalizados -sin su conocimiento o consentimiento- para estudiar la toxicidad de esas sustancias químicas en humanos. Hodge también se encargó de estudiar la toxicidad del flúor. La construcción de la primera bomba atómica del mundo había requerido cantidades ingentes de fluoruro. Así que, por ejemplo, en nombre de los fabricantes de bombas, supervisó de forma encubierta uno de los primeros experimentos de fluoración del agua pública del país. Mientras se decía a los ciudadanos de Newburgh, Nueva York, que el flúor reduciría las caries en sus hijos, en secreto se tomaban muestras de sangre y tejidos de los residentes que eran enviadas a su laboratorio atómico para su estudio. La Universidad de los estudios clasificados de fluoruro de Rochester – cuyo nombre en código es Programa F – se llevaron a cabo en el Proyecto de Energía Atómica (AEP), una instalación de alto secreto financiado por la AEC (La Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos) y alojados en el Strong Memorial Hospital. Se produjo allí uno de los experimentos de radiación más notorios en humanos durante la Guerra Fría, en el que los pacientes hospitalarios confiados fueron inyectados con dosis tóxicas de plutonio radiactivo. La revelación de este experimento por cuenta de la periodista Welsome Eileenen la convirtió en ganadora del premio Pulitzer tras escribir “Los archivos del plutonio: Los experimentos médicos secretos de Estados Unidos en la Guerra Fría”. Llevó a una investigación presidencial de los EE.UU en 1995, y un pago en efectivo de varios millones de dólares para las víctimas. El Programa F no trataba de mejorar la salud de los dientes de los niños. Surgió directamente de litigios contra el programa de la bomba y su principal objetivo era proporcionar munición científica que el gobierno y sus contratistas nucleares podrían utilizar para derrotar a las demandas por lesiones personales. El protocolo para las inyecciones de plutonio, que fue escrito por Wright Langham y no se hizo público hasta 1995, reveló que el experimento fue el resultado de la reunión de Rochester, así como de "numerosas conversaciones con el Coronel Warren, el Coronel Friedell y el Dr. LH". Hempelmann. Curiosamente el dr Hempelmann se casó con Elinor Pulitzer la nieta del editor de periódicos Joseph Pulitzer cuyo nombre llevan los “prestigiosos” entre comillas premios periodísticos. A cada paciente se le asignaron las iniciales "HP" seguidas de un número. Según un documento, "HP" significaba Human product "producto humano". Los médicos buscaban pacientes que tuvieran un metabolismo relativamente normal. Según el plan provisional, el grupo decidió que a cada paciente se le inyectaría un promedio de cinco microgramos, o cinco millonésimas de gramo de plutonio. Aunque la dosis prevista era cinco microgramos, la cantidad real de plutonio inyectada a los pacientes varió de 4,6 a 6,5 microgramos. La dosis de radiación acumulada recibida por cada paciente dependía de dos factores: la cantidad de material radiactivo inyectado en el cuerpo y cuánto tiempo vivían los sujetos. Cuanto más vivían los pacientes, mayor era su dosis acumulada. Antes de que comenzaran las inyecciones en humanos, a tres ratas se les inyectó en las venas de la cola la misma solución de plutonio que Langham y Bassett planeaban administrar a los pacientes. Sólo un pequeño porcentaje del plutonio fue a parar a los hígados de los roedores, lo que hizo que los dos científicos tuvieran más confianza en que el plutonio inyectado en los seres humanos "no sería absorbido en alta concentración por un solo órgano como el hígado", escribió Bassett. Wright Langham y Samuel Bassett se guardaron sus temores sobre posibles daños hepáticos y otras consecuencias para la salud a largo plazo y, finalmente, los pacientes fueron dados de alta del hospital sin que nunca les hubieran dicho lo que les habían hecho. Durante el resto de sus vidas, los inyectados llevaban dentro de sus cuerpos el plutonio que habían recibido en la sala metabólica de Samuel Bassett. Algunas veces se ‘inventaban’ operaciones para biopsiar órganos internos de pacientes ‘supuestamente’ enfermos y controlar su depósito en los tejidos. La energia nuclear estuvo bien vista en aquel tiempo y por desgracia ahora tenemos otro renacimiento de su popularidad. En esa época se realizaban radiografías con fluoroscopios en las zapaterías especializadas en bebés y niños con desastrosos resultados a largo plazo. Era normal retirar la estática de los discos de vinilo con un cepillo que contenía polonio 210 o llevar un reloj de muñeca con pintura de radio. Todo el mundo apoyaba la radiación y sus oscuros secretos siguen hoy dia a buen recaudo, pero prosigamos. Algunas de las empresas mas importantes USA se involucraron en la carrera para producir la bomba atómica…Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation, Du Pont, Clinton Engineering Works, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, National Carbon Company, Speer Carbon Company, Chrysler, Eastman Kodak, Allis-Chalmers, General Electric, General Motors, Kellogg…lo que se conoció como Proyecto Manhattan. Curiosamente si buscan Proyecto Manhattan en la wikipedia observarán que ni uno solo de los nombres de empresas que citan autores como Manuel Sánchez Ron aparecen allí, ¿raro, verdad? Entre ellas estaba una fábrica química de la compañía Du Pont, la Nemours Company en Deepwater, Nueva Jersey…se dedicó a producir millones de libras de fluoruro para el proyecto Manhattan. La conexión entre la fluoración del agua que defendía el Dr. Hodge y la industria nuclear es clara. A la industria nuclear, al igual que a la del aluminio y a la de los fertilizantes le sobraban cientos de miles de toneladas de flúor y meterlo en la boca de los contribuyentes era una buena forma de deshacerse de dicho residuo. Dejaremos en la descripción del podcast un documental muy aclarador titulado “El Engaño Del Flúor”. En el Estado de Wisconsin, dos dentistas, Frank Bull y John Frisch, se organizaron para poner en marcha el siniestro movimiento de la fluoración. En aquel momento, el trust del aluminio pertenecía en secreto a la Casa Rockefeller; 25 años antes había pertenecido a Andrew Mellon de Pittsburgh; a su muerte, la Casa Rockefeller se apoderó discretamente de él, negando oficialmente cualquier relación con Alcoa a través de su agente de prensa; Sin embargo, el Manual de Industriales y el informe anual del Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores de Rockefeller informaban de que el yerno de Andrew Mellon, miembro de la Casa Rockefeller, era el propietario, junto con su esposa, de la empresa Alcoa. La Casa Rockefeller, posee con su esposa la mayor parte de los fondos de la Compañía de Aluminio. Para aumentar el control de Rockefeller en las reuniones del consejo de Alcoa, Donald K. David, testaferro del Instituto Rockefeller, fue nombrado uno de los directores. Los ingenieros de ventas de Rockefeller pronto descubrieron que si el fluoruro de sodio se podía vender por sólo 1,5 centavos de dólar la libra, se obtendrían unos beneficios de 15 millones de dólares al año. El anuncio de Cox fue acogido con entusiasmo. Los peces gordos del Rockefeller Center se pusieron inmediatamente manos a la obra para preparar una gran campaña de fluoración del agua potable de 16.750 municipios estadounidenses. La operación se puso en marcha hacia 1945. Justamente los técnicos de Alcoa trabajaron mano a mano con químicos del Instituto Mellon y otras multinacionales (Dow Chemical Company, Colgate, Kellog, DuPont) hasta conseguir lo que hoy día se conoce como “la mafia del flúor” (Stephen 1995). En 1944, Oscar Ewing se convirtió repentinamente en uno de los principales empleados de Alcoa. Unos meses más tarde, el Sr. Ewing fue nombrado administrador de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad, actual Departamento de Salud de los Estados Unidos. Ewing recibió 750.000 dólares por un motivo que nunca se reveló, incluso después de que el congresista Al. Miller, de Nebraska, reuniera los datos sobre la donación y presentará su informe al Congreso. El Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU., que había sido puesto bajo la jurisdicción de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad de Ewing por el Congreso, lanzó una campaña de promoción masiva en todo Estados Unidos. Bajo la administración de Ewing, se votaron presupuestos enormes, se dieron millones de dólares a colegas médicos y dentistas y, en 1951, pidió y obtuvo dos millones de dólares para promover la idea de la purificación del agua potable. Una de las primeras medidas adoptadas fue establecer una prueba en dos ciudades piloto, Newburgh y Kingston. El agua de Newburgh estaba fluorada, la de Kingston no. El Cuerpo Comisionado del Servicio de Salud Pública de Estados anunció que en 5 años examinarán los dientes de los escolares de las dos ciudades y que la fluoración habría reducido la caries en un 50%. Dado que se transporta en la sangre, el flúor debe encontrarse en todas las partes del cuerpo. Al igual que los huesos, los dientes contienen derivados del flúor. El esmalte dental está compuesto por un 3% de dentina y un 97% de una combinación salina muy íntima de fosfato cálcico, carbonato y flúor. En total, un hombre de 70 kg. contiene de 95 a 100 g. de fluoruro combinado, suministrado y repuesto por la dieta en una forma salina compleja que, en casos normales, garantiza su fijación y ausencia de efectos nocivos. Parte de la ingesta diaria se fija para construir y renovar los huesos y los dientes; la otra parte circula y se elimina en las heces y la orina. Debo mencionar de pasada que las industrias médica y conservera de alimentos utilizan desde hace tiempo fluoruros alcalinos y alcalinotérreos. Ambas saben perfectamente que son a la vez antisépticos potentes y tóxicos algo parecido a lo que pasa con el Bisfenol A de las botellas. Es increíble como habiendo más de 1300 artículos científicos sobre la alta toxicidad de los fluoruros todavía se permita su comercialización sin apenas controles y que se hable de las ventajas de añadirlo al agua y a todo tipo de cosas. Parece que no hemos aprendido nada de la historia de otras sustancias de las que también nos dijo la ciencia que eran seguras como el plomo en la gasolina, el amianto, el DDT, etc Poderoso caballero es don dinero y en este caso la población en general no ha sido advertida de los peligros del flúor ya que las supuestas ONGs y los grupos ecologistas están patrocinados por los mismos fabricantes de este veneno. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ACCIDENTES Y ENVENENAMIENTOS POR FLUORURO El fluoruro, el ingrediente activo de muchos pesticidas y rodenticidas, es un veneno poderoso, más venenoso que el plomo . Debido a esto, la ingestión excesiva accidental de fluoruro puede causar síntomas tóxicos graves. Cada año hay miles de informes a los centros de control de intoxicaciones en los Estados Unidos relacionados con la ingestión excesiva de pastas dentales, enjuagues bucales y suplementos con flúor. Los accidentes de fluoración del agua , que provocan niveles excesivos de fluoruro en el agua, han sido una de las fuentes de intoxicación aguda por fluoruro . FLUORURO Y FLUOROSIS DENTAL La ingestión excesiva de flúor durante los primeros años de la infancia puede dañar las células formadoras de los dientes, provocando un defecto en el esmalte conocido como fluorosis dental . Los dientes afectados por fluorosis tienen una decoloración visible, que va desde manchas blancas hasta manchas marrones y negras . Según los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades , el 32% de los niños estadounidenses tienen actualmente algún tipo de fluorosis dental, y entre el 2 y el 4% de los niños padecen las etapas de moderada a grave (CDC 2005). Según el Dr. Hardy Limeback , Jefe de Odontología Preventiva de la Universidad de Toronto, "es ilógico suponer que el esmalte dental es el único tejido afectado por la ingestión de bajas dosis diarias de flúor. FLUORURO Y ALERGIA/HIPERSENSIBILIDAD Como lo reconoce Physicians' Desk Reference , algunas personas son alérgicas o hipersensibles al fluoruro. El ensayo clínico más grande, financiado por el gobierno, encontró que el 1% de las personas expuestas a 1 mg/día de fluoruro presentaban reacciones alérgicas/hipersensibles, incluidas reacciones cutáneas, malestar gástrico y dolor de cabeza FLUORURO Y LOS RIÑONES Los riñones desempeñan un papel vital en la prevención de la acumulación excesiva de fluoruro en el cuerpo. Entre las personas sanas, los riñones excretan aproximadamente el 50% de la ingesta diaria de fluoruro. Sin embargo, entre las personas con enfermedad renal, la capacidad de los riñones para excretar se ve notablemente afectada, lo que resulta en una acumulación de fluoruro en el cuerpo . Es bien sabido que las personas con enfermedad renal tienen una mayor susceptibilidad a los efectos tóxicos acumulativos del fluoruro. De particular preocupación es la posibilidad de que el fluoruro, cuando se acumula en el sistema esquelético, cause o exacerbe la osteodistrofia renal , una enfermedad ósea que se encuentra comúnmente entre personas con enfermedad renal avanzada. Además, se ha demostrado definitivamente que el fluoruro envenena la función renal en dosis altas durante exposiciones a corto plazo tanto en animales como en humanos. El impacto de dosis bajas de fluoruro, administradas durante largos períodos de tiempo, no se ha estudiado adecuadamente. Un estudio reciente en animales, realizado por científicos de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (Varner 1998), informó que la exposición a sólo 1 ppm de fluoruro causaba daño renal en ratas si bebían agua durante un período prolongado, mientras que un nuevo estudio realizado en China encontró una mayor tasa de enfermedad renal entre los seres humanos que consumían más de 2 ppm (Liu 2005). Por lo tanto, los efectos adversos para la función renal que causa el fluoruro en dosis altas durante períodos cortos de tiempo también pueden replicarse con dosis pequeñas si se consume durante períodos prolongados. FLUORURO Y EL CEREBRO La capacidad del fluoruro para dañar el cerebro representa una de las áreas de investigación más activas sobre la toxicidad del fluoruro en la actualidad. La preocupación por el impacto del fluoruro en el cerebro ha sido alimentada por 18 estudios en humanos (de China, México, India e Irán) que informaron déficits de coeficiente intelectual entre niños expuestos a un exceso de fluoruro, por 4 estudios en humanos que indican que el fluoruro puede entrar y dañar el feto cerebro; y por un número creciente de estudios en animales que encuentran daños al tejido cerebral (a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm) y deterioro del aprendizaje y la memoria entre los grupos tratados con fluoruro. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE.UU. , "es evidente que los fluoruros tienen la capacidad de interferir con las funciones del cerebro”. Los hallazgos de efectos neurológicos en humanos expuestos al flúor son coherentes con los resultados recientes de más de 40 estudios en animales publicados desde 1992, y se ven reforzados por ellos. Al igual que los estudios en humanos, los estudios en animales han informado de un deterioro en los procesos de aprendizaje y memoria entre los grupos tratados con flúor. 6) Los estudios en animales también han documentado pruebas considerables de los efectos tóxicos directos del flúor en el tejido cerebral, incluso a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm de flúor en el agua (Varner 1998). Estos efectos incluyen: -- reducción de los receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina; -- reducción del contenido lipídico; -- deterioro de los sistemas de defensa antioxidante; -- daños en el hipocampo; -- daños en las células purkinje; -- aumento de la captación de aluminio; -- formación de placas beta-amiloides (la clásica anomalía cerebral de la enfermedad de Alzheimer); -- Exacerbación de las lesiones inducidas por la deficiencia de yodo. -- acumulación de flúor en la glándula pineal. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA PINEAL En la década de 1990, se descubrió que la glándula pineal es un sitio importante de acumulación de fluoruro dentro del cuerpo , con concentraciones de fluoruro más altas que los dientes o los huesos. Estudios posteriores en animales indican que la acumulación de fluoruro en la glándula pineal puede reducir la síntesis de melatonina en la glándula , una hormona que ayuda a regular el inicio de la pubertad. Se descubrió que los animales tratados con fluoruro tenían niveles reducidos de melatonina circulante y un inicio más temprano de la pubertad que los animales no tratados. El científico que realizó la investigación concluyó: "La seguridad del uso de fluoruros se basa en última instancia en la suposición de que el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo es más sensible a los efectos tóxicos del fluoruro. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que los pinealocitos pueden ser tan susceptibles al fluoruro como el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo" ( Lucas 1997). El hecho de que el impacto del fluoruro en la glándula pineal nunca haya sido estudiado, ni siquiera considerado , antes de la década de 1990, pone de relieve una importante laguna en el conocimiento que sustenta las políticas actuales sobre el fluoruro y la salud. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "cualquier agente que afecte la función pineal podría afectar la salud humana de diversas maneras, incluidos efectos sobre la maduración sexual, el metabolismo del calcio, la función paratiroidea, la osteoporosis posmenopáusica, el cáncer y las enfermedades psiquiátricas”. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA TIROIDES Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "varias líneas de información indican un efecto de la exposición al fluoruro sobre la función tiroidea", particularmente entre personas con deficiencia de yodo. El potencial del fluoruro para alterar la función tiroidea se ilustra más claramente por el hecho de que, hasta la década de 1970, los médicos europeos utilizaban el fluoruro como medicamento supresor de la tiroides en pacientes con hipertiroidismo (tiroides hiperactiva). Se utilizó fluoruro porque se encontró que era eficaz para reducir la actividad de la glándula tiroides , incluso en dosis tan bajas como 2 mg/día. Hoy en día, muchas personas que viven en comunidades fluoradas están ingiriendo dosis de fluoruro (1,6 a 6,6 mg/día) que se encuentran dentro del rango de dosis (2 a 10 mg/día) que alguna vez utilizaron los médicos para reducir la actividad tiroidea en pacientes con hipertiroidismo. Esto es particularmente preocupante considerando el problema generalizado del hipotiroidismo (tiroides poco activa) en los Estados Unidos. Los síntomas del hipotiroidismo incluyen obesidad, letargo, depresión y enfermedades cardíacas. FLUORURO Y ENFERMEDADES ÓSEAS Es bien sabido que la exposición excesiva al fluoruro causa una enfermedad ósea llamada fluorosis esquelética . La fluorosis esquelética, especialmente en sus primeras etapas , es una enfermedad difícil de diagnosticar y puede confundirse fácilmente con diversas formas de artritis , incluidas la osteoartritis y la artritis reumatoide . En sus etapas avanzadas, la fluorosis puede parecerse a una multitud de enfermedades de huesos y articulaciones. En personas con enfermedad renal, la exposición al fluoruro puede contribuir y/o exacerbar la osteodistrofia renal . FLUORURO Y FRACTURA ÓSEA La mayoría de los estudios en animales que investigan el efecto del fluoruro sobre la resistencia ósea han encontrado que el fluoruro no tiene ningún efecto o tiene un efecto negativo sobre la resistencia . Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU. , "El peso de la evidencia indica que, aunque el fluoruro podría aumentar el volumen óseo, hay menos resistencia por unidad de volumen". Los estudios en poblaciones humanas que consumen fluoruro en el agua potable han encontrado una asociación entre la fluorosis dental y un aumento de las fracturas óseas en los niños ; y entre el consumo prolongado de agua fluorada y el aumento de fracturas de cadera en los ancianos. Ensayos clínicos en humanos cuidadosamente realizados , incluidos dos "ensayos doble ciego", han descubierto que el fluoruro (en dosis de 18 a 34 mg/día durante sólo 1 a 4 años) aumenta la tasa de fracturas óseas, particularmente de cadera, entre pacientes con osteoporosis. . FLUORURO Y CÁNCER Según el Programa Nacional de Toxicología, "la preponderancia de la evidencia" de estudios de laboratorio 'in vitro' indica que el fluoruro es un compuesto mutagénico . Muchas sustancias que causan daños mutagénicos también causan cáncer. Si bien las concentraciones de fluoruro que causan daño mutagénico en estudios de laboratorio son más altas que las concentraciones encontradas en la sangre humana, existen ciertos "microambientes" en el cuerpo (por ejemplo, los huesos y la vejiga ) donde las concentraciones de fluoruro pueden acumularse a niveles comparables a, o en exceso de aquellos que causan efectos mutagénicos en el laboratorio. Se ha descubierto que el fluoruro causa cáncer de huesos (osteosarcoma) en estudios gubernamentales con animales y se ha descubierto que las tasas de osteosarcoma entre los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas fluoradas son más altas que las de los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas no fluoradas. El osteosarcoma, aunque poco común, es un cáncer muy grave. Los niños que desarrollan osteosarcoma enfrentan una alta probabilidad de muerte (generalmente dentro de los 3 años) o amputación. La exposición al fluoruro también se ha relacionado con el cáncer de vejiga , particularmente entre los trabajadores expuestos al exceso de fluoruro en el lugar de trabajo. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU., "se deben realizar más investigaciones sobre el posible efecto del fluoruro en el riesgo de cáncer de vejiga”. FLUORURO Y EL TRACTO GASTROINTESTINAL Entre personas hipersensibles al flúor , se han producido dolencias gastrointestinales tras la ingestión de comprimidos de 1 mg de flúor o el consumo de 1 ppm de agua fluorada. En ensayos clínicos cuidadosamente controlados , se ha descubierto que una sola ingestión de tan solo 3 mg de fluoruro produce daños en la mucosa gástrica en voluntarios adultos sanos. Nunca se ha realizado ninguna investigación en la mucosa gástrica para determinar el efecto de dosis más bajas con exposición repetida. FLUORURO Y CARIES (Caries) Según el consenso actual de la comunidad de investigación dental, el beneficio principal, si no el único, del fluoruro para los dientes proviene de la aplicación TÓPICA en la superficie exterior de los dientes, no de la ingestión . Por lo tanto, tal vez no sea sorprendente que las tasas de caries hayan disminuido a tasas similares en todos los países occidentales en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, independientemente de si el país fluora o no su agua . Hoy en día, las tasas de caries en toda Europa occidental continental son tan bajas como las tasas de caries en los Estados Unidos, a pesar de una profunda disparidad en la prevalencia de la fluoración del agua en las dos regiones. En los países que fluoran el agua, estudios recientes a gran escala sobre salud dental (utilizando métodos científicos modernos no utilizados en los primeros estudios de los años 1930 y 1950) han encontrado pocas diferencias en la caries , incluida la "caries del biberón" , entre las aguas fluoradas. y comunidades no fluoradas. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Conozcamos algunos datos del proyecto Manhattan. El Proyecto Manhattan fue un proyecto de investigación y desarrollo llevado a cabo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial entre los años 1942 y 1946 que produjo las primeras armas nucleares, liderado por los Estados Unidos con el apoyo del Reino Unido y de Canadá. El Proyecto Manhattan comenzó de forma modesta, creciendo progresivamente hasta tener más de 130 000 empleados y alcanzar un coste de casi 2000 millones de dólares de la época, unos 70.000 millones en la actualidad. Más del 90 % del presupuesto se destinó a la construcción de fábricas y a la producción de materiales fisibles, con menos del 10 % destinado al desarrollo y producción de armas. La investigación y producción tuvieron lugar en más de 30 lugares por todos los Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Canadá. En junio de 1944 el Proyecto Manhattan tenía alrededor de 129 000 trabajadores empleados, de los que 84500 eran trabajadores de la construcción, 40500 eran operadores de planta y 1800 eran personal militar. Como al final diseñaron una bomba con U-235, el material que se utiliza en los reactores comerciales y que solo es el 0,7% de todo el uranio se tuvo que separar dicho uranio de los otros radioisótopos que no eran necesarios como el el U-238 que es al que se le denomina uranio empobrecido. De cada gramo de uranio natural el 99,284 % de la masa es uranio-238, el 0,711 % uranio-235,2 y el 0,0085 % uranio-234. Separar el U-235 del U-238 fue una tarea titánica en aquella época y se utilizaron tres métodos principales ya que la centrifugación supuso un gran desafío técnico por la complejidad de los rodamientos y ejes necesarios para separar los radioisótopos de uranio. El proceso requería altas velocidades de rotación, pero a su paso por determinadas velocidades se creaban vibraciones armónicas que podían romper la maquinaria. Por ello, era necesario obtener una rápida aceleración para superar estas velocidades. producir un kilo de uranio-235 por día precisaría de hasta 50000 centrifugados con rotores de 1 metro, o 10000 centrifugados con rotores de 4 metros, asumiendo que fuera posible construir estos últimos. Por eso se recurrió al uso de calutrones, la termoforesis y la difusión gaseosa. Los calderones son una especie de imanes gigantes que separaban los dos tipos de radioisótopos calentando el uranio e ionizándolo para luego recogerlo por electromagnetismo en dos zonas diferenciadas. Debido a la escasez de cobre durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los electroimanes fueron hechos con miles de toneladas de plata prestadas por el Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos. La termoforesis (también denominada termomigración, termodifusión, efecto Soret, o efecto Ludwig-Soret) es un fenómeno observado en mezclas de partículas móviles, cuando diferentes tipos de partículas exhiben distintas respuestas ante la presencia de un gradiente térmico. Esta técnica no es practica para trabajar a gran escala y apenas fue empleada pasando a realizarse la separación de isótopos de uranio por difusión gaseosa o lo que es lo mismo mediante el uso de centrifugadoras. La difusión gaseosa fue una de las varias tecnologías para la separación de isótopos de uranio desarrolladas por parte del Proyecto Manhattan para producir uranio enriquecido forzando que el hexafluoruro de uranio (único compuesto del uranio gaseoso) atraviese membranas semi-permeables. Esto produce una ligerísima separación entre las moléculas que contienen uranio-235 y uranio-238. Mediante el uso de una gran cascada de muchos pasos, se pueden conseguir grandes separaciones. Los edificios de proceso construidos para albergar estas máquinas en cascada fueron en su momento los más grandes jamás construidos, hablamos de 600 etapas en una larga estructura en forma de U de 800 metros de longitud, que contenía 54 edificios contiguos. La preparación de la materia a tratar, el hexafluoruro de uranio (conocido en el mercado como hex ) fue la primera aplicación para el fluoruro producida comercialmente, y los problemas generados por el manejo tanto del fluoruro como del hex como gases corrosivos fueron significativos. El proyecto Manhattan se llama así porque la oficina que escogió el jefe de ingenieros militar se ubico en el 18.º del 270 Broadway en Nueva York. Además estaba cerca de la oficina en Manhattan de Stone & Webster, el principal contratista del proyecto…así que se quedó con ese nombre. El mando militar corrió a cargo del general Groves y el mando científico ya saben de J. Robert Oppenheimer, apodado el padre de la bomba. En 1944 se adquirió 560 000 kg de mineral de óxido de uranio a compañías que explotaban minas en el Congo Belga. Para poder evitar informar al Secretario del Tesoro estadounidense Henry Morgenthau Jr. sobre el proyecto, utilizaron una cuenta bancaria especial no sujeta a las habituales auditorías y controles por los que tenían que pasar este tipo de fondos. Entre 1944 y el momento en el que dimitió del Fondo en 1947, Groves depositó un total de 37,5 millones de dólares en la cuenta del Fondo. La minería de uranio en Colorado producía alrededor de unas 700 toneladas de uranio al año. Realmente utilizaron los tres procesos encadenados, primero producían uranio enriquecido del 0,71 % hasta el 0,89 % en la planta S-50 de termoforesis que pasó a ser la primera etapa. Este material se usaba en el proceso de difusión gaseosa en la planta K-25, produciendo un producto enriquecido hasta un 23 % que a su vez alimentaba a la planta Y-12 con los calutrones, llegando allí hasta al 89 %, lo suficiente para las armas nucleares. Decir que la planta con los calutrones estuvo en un principio siendo operada por científicos de Berkeley para eliminar fallos y conseguir un índice operacional razonable. Pero fueron finalmente sustituidos por operadoras formadas por Tennessee Eastman (la Kodak) que solo habían recibido una educación secundaria. Cuando compararon los datos vieron que las lugareñas producían mucho mas uranio que los doctorados. A fecha de julio de 1945 se habían entregado alrededor de unos 50 kg de uranio enriquecido hasta un 89 % de uranio-235 en Los Álamos. Estos 50 kg al completo, junto con uranio adicional enriquecido al 50 %, dio un promedio resultante de uranio enriquecido al 85 %, que fueron utilizados en la bomba Little Boy. O sea unos 100kg de U235 al 85%. El uranio natural se compone principalmente de uranio-238 (U-238), que no es fisible, y uranio-235 (U-235), que es fisible. Para producir 100 kg de U-235 enriquecido al 85%, primero debemos determinar la cantidad de uranio natural requerida y luego calcular la cantidad de UF6 necesaria para alcanzar ese enriquecimiento. La relación entre el peso atómico del U-235 y el U-238 es aproximadamente 0.72. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 14.285 kg de uranio normal para obtener 100 kg de uranio enriquecido al 100% y 12.142 kg para que este solo al 85%. En 12 gramos de uranio normal hay 3*10²³ átomos y en todos esos kilos hay una cifra enorme aproximada de 3 x 10^25 átomos de uranio. El UF6 se utiliza para enriquecer uranio, y en el proceso, se convierte todo el uranio (tanto el U-235 como el U-238) en UF6. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 6 átomos de flúor por uno de uranio, o sea 18 x 10^25 átomos de flúor. Lo que equivale a unas 50 toneladas de flúor de las que nunca mas se supo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

Bienvenidos a un nuevo directo en Telegram. Hoy vamos a hablarles del flúor, ese elemento químico amarillo que siendo muy corrosivo, tóxico y altamente reactivo, es capaz de combinarse químicamente con casi todo, nos lo metemos en la boca por “nuestro bien». Los textos que utilizaré provienen del libro “Dossier Flúor” del dr Jean-Marc Brunet y de “The fluoride deception” de Christopher Bryson más algunas adaptaciones libres y artículos escritos por mi en el pasado ya que conocía de los peligros del flúor desde hace más de 20 años. Decirles que mi hija que tiene 18 años jamás ha utilizado pasta de dientes con flúor y tiene una excelente salud dental. El flúor constituye el núcleo elemental de algunas de las mayores fortunas que el mundo ha visto jamás, la riqueza casi inimaginable de los Mellons de Pittsburgh y los Du Ponts de Delaware. Y no es de extrañar que la advertencia en el tubo de pasta de dientes sea tan dramática. La misma potente sustancia química que se utiliza para enriquecer uranio para armas nucleares, para preparar el gas nervioso Sarín y para arrancar acero y aluminio fundidos del mineral de la tierra es la que damos a nuestros hijos a primera hora de la mañana y a última de la noche, con sabor a menta, fresa o chicle. El flúor es una sustancia química tan poderosa que se ha convertido en la savia de la industria moderna, bombeada a toda máquina cada día a través de innumerables fábricas, refinerías y molinos. El fluoruro se utiliza para producir gasolina de alto octanaje; para fundir metales clave como el aluminio, el acero y el berilio; para enriquecer uranio; para fabricar placas de circuitos informáticos, pesticidas, cera para esquís, gases refrigerantes, plástico de teflón, sartenes, alfombras, ropa impermeable, vidrio grabado, ladrillos y cerámica, y numerosos medicamentos, como Prozac y Cipro. “Crea el problema y luego vendeles la solución» frase que bien podría haber dicho Bernays, el mas famoso creador de opinión del siglo XX que también contribuyo a promocionar el flúor. En el libro de Chrystopher Bryson “El engaño del Flúor” nos muestra correspondencia entre el publicitario y el NIDR (Instituto nacional de investigación dental) para que este hiciera campaña a favor de la fluoración. ¿Conocen ese lema que dice “los expertos recomiendan”? Pues es de Bernays. Pero eso ya fue en los 60 y todo esto empezó tras la gran depresión del 1929, cuando las grandes multinacionales no sabían que hacer con sus productos por la gran caída de la demanda. Entre ellos el azúcar. Gerald Judy Cox, químico que participó en la causa de la caries y su “solución». El sr Cox, desarrollo las patentes para transformar la caña de azúcar y el azúcar común sin refinar (que terminaba pudriéndose) en algunos de los productos azucarados que conocemos hoy día. Por si no lo sabían son los ácidos que quedan encima de los dientes tras la transformación del azúcar por las bacterias lo que provoca la caries. Pues este señor que ayudó a que el azúcar terminase empleándose de forma masiva en todo tipo de productos, chicles incluidos, terminó siendo uno de los mayores defensores del uso del flúor para evitar dicha caries, ¿curioso no? Pero veamos dónde empezó todo. Durante la gran depresión, algunas empresas, sobre todo la Aluminum Company of America ALCOA, se enfrentaban a un espinoso problema. Uno de los compuestos naturales del aluminio es la criolita. La criolita es una roca que contiene aluminio, flúor y sodio. Su fórmula química es: Na3AlF6 Por tanto, la criolita contiene tres átomos de sodio, uno de aluminio y seis de flúor en su molécula. Cuando queremos aislar el aluminio, obtenemos como residuo una sal, el fluoruro de sodio. Se trata de una sustancia altamente tóxica que no se encuentra en la naturaleza en su estado puro sino en combinaciones menos peligrosas. El fluoruro de sodio es, por tanto, una sustancia química artificial. Al ser tan tóxico, su comercio esta limitado. Se utiliza en la fabricación de veneno para ratas, como agente blanqueador, como coagulante del caucho, como fijador de tintes, etc. Estos usos del fluoruro de sodio eran ampliamente insuficientes. Se acumulaban enormes reservas de este veneno, sobre todo porque las autoridades gubernamentales impedían a las empresas verterlo en los ríos porque los peces tienen la mala costumbre de morirse después. Como no vendían suficiente y no podían deshacerse de él fácilmente, tuvieron que buscar otra salida para el fluoruro de sodio. Como es habitual en la industria, el problema se remitió a una organización especializada en encontrar soluciones. El Instituto Mellon de Pittsburgh recibió el encargo de encontrar una solución al problema del fluoruro de sodio. El Instituto Mellon, fundado en 1911 por Andrew y Richard Mellon, es un laboratorio de ciencia aplicada abierto a todos los empresarios estadounidenses. Cuando un industrial o fabricante tiene un problema, acude al Instituto y contrata a un científico durante un año. El trabajo del científico consistía en mejorar el producto o encontrarle un nuevo mercado. El Instituto Mellon está actualmente siendo demandado por su defensa acérrima del amianto. El bioquímico Gerald J. Cox del que hablamos antes recibió el encargo de estudiar la delicada cuestión del fluoruro de sodio. Los peligros de esta sustancia química se conocían desde hacía tiempo. Ya en 1920, dos organismos gubernamentales, la Oficina de Minas y el Departamento de Agricultura, expresaban su preocupación por la contaminación por fluoruro. Mientras tanto, sin embargo, el Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU. permanecía en silencio. Hacia la década de 1930, el Servicio de Salud Pública pasó a depender del Departamento del Tesoro. De 1921 a 1933, el Secretario de este Departamento no fue otro que el Sr. Andrew W. Mellon, cofundador del Instituto Mellon, acaudalado financiero de Pittsburgh y miembro de una de las familias más ricas y poderosas de Estados Unidos. La familia Mellon posee y controla, entre otros, el Mellon National Bank, Gulf Oil, Koppers Corp. y la Aluminum Company of America. Antes de ocupar el cargo de Secretario del Tesoro, Andrew Mellon fue Presidente de la Aluminum Company. Fue uno de los más feroces opositores a la campaña contra la contaminación por flúor, ya que la Aluminum Co. era la principal contaminadora en este ámbito. En 1931, dos químicos de la Aluminum Co. descubrieron la causa de las horribles manchas marrones que casi todos los habitantes de Bauxite, Arkansas, tenían en los dientes. El agente responsable era el flúor, presente de forma natural en el agua de la ciudad dada la presencia de una industria minera del mineral del aluminio, la bauxita, que termino dando el nombre al pueblo. El Servicio de Salud Pública también se interesó por la fluorosis dental. En 1933, un miembro del personal, el dentista H. Trendley Dean, fue enviado a estudiar los distintos lugares del país donde la población presentaba este tipo de manchas en los dientes. El objetivo era averiguar qué proporción de flúor era necesaria para provocar tales trastornos. El Sr. Dean descubrió que incluso concentraciones mínimas provocaban las manchas en determinados individuos. Llegó a la conclusión de que con una concentración de una parte por millón, ya el 10-20% de la población presentaba esas manchas. Mientras tanto, el bioquímico Gerald J. Cox, que refinó el azúcar para luego curar las caries que esta provocaba, seguía trabajando para encontrar una solución al problema del flúor. En 1939, publicó su informe de investigación: "...Hay que replantearse la opinión predominante", escribió, "de que el agua debe estar completamente libre de fluoruros...". Sugirió añadir fluoruro sódico al agua potable para prevenir la caries dental. La sugerencia de Cox fue recibida con gran cautela por los funcionarios de salud pública. Incluso el dentista Dean del Servicio de Salud Pública, que dijo haber notado una reducción de la caries dental en lugares donde había mucha fluorosis, expresó sus reservas sobre la teoría de Cox. Todo el mundo era consciente de la falta de pruebas sobre los beneficios de los fluoruros en la dentición humana. Por otro lado, estaba claro que los fluoruros eran venenos extremadamente peligrosos como demostró el médico y científico danés Kaj Roholm en 1937. Y aqui entra el primer presidente de la Sociedad de Toxicología, el Dr Harold Hodge, elegido para encabezar la División de Farmacología y Toxicología de la Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos (AEC) y firme defensor de la fluoración del agua. Pocos saben que el Dr. Hodge, el principal investigador de flúor del país que formó a una generación de decanos de facultades de odontología en los años cincuenta y sesenta, fue el toxicólogo jefe en tiempos de guerra del Proyecto Manhattan. Allí ayudó a coreografiar los tristemente célebres experimentos de radiación en humanos, en los que se inyectaba plutonio y uranio a pacientes hospitalizados -sin su conocimiento o consentimiento- para estudiar la toxicidad de esas sustancias químicas en humanos. Hodge también se encargó de estudiar la toxicidad del flúor. La construcción de la primera bomba atómica del mundo había requerido cantidades ingentes de fluoruro. Así que, por ejemplo, en nombre de los fabricantes de bombas, supervisó de forma encubierta uno de los primeros experimentos de fluoración del agua pública del país. Mientras se decía a los ciudadanos de Newburgh, Nueva York, que el flúor reduciría las caries en sus hijos, en secreto se tomaban muestras de sangre y tejidos de los residentes que eran enviadas a su laboratorio atómico para su estudio. La Universidad de los estudios clasificados de fluoruro de Rochester – cuyo nombre en código es Programa F – se llevaron a cabo en el Proyecto de Energía Atómica (AEP), una instalación de alto secreto financiado por la AEC (La Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos) y alojados en el Strong Memorial Hospital. Se produjo allí uno de los experimentos de radiación más notorios en humanos durante la Guerra Fría, en el que los pacientes hospitalarios confiados fueron inyectados con dosis tóxicas de plutonio radiactivo. La revelación de este experimento por cuenta de la periodista Welsome Eileenen la convirtió en ganadora del premio Pulitzer tras escribir “Los archivos del plutonio: Los experimentos médicos secretos de Estados Unidos en la Guerra Fría”. Llevó a una investigación presidencial de los EE.UU en 1995, y un pago en efectivo de varios millones de dólares para las víctimas. El Programa F no trataba de mejorar la salud de los dientes de los niños. Surgió directamente de litigios contra el programa de la bomba y su principal objetivo era proporcionar munición científica que el gobierno y sus contratistas nucleares podrían utilizar para derrotar a las demandas por lesiones personales. El protocolo para las inyecciones de plutonio, que fue escrito por Wright Langham y no se hizo público hasta 1995, reveló que el experimento fue el resultado de la reunión de Rochester, así como de "numerosas conversaciones con el Coronel Warren, el Coronel Friedell y el Dr. LH". Hempelmann. Curiosamente el dr Hempelmann se casó con Elinor Pulitzer la nieta del editor de periódicos Joseph Pulitzer cuyo nombre llevan los “prestigiosos” entre comillas premios periodísticos. A cada paciente se le asignaron las iniciales "HP" seguidas de un número. Según un documento, "HP" significaba Human product "producto humano". Los médicos buscaban pacientes que tuvieran un metabolismo relativamente normal. Según el plan provisional, el grupo decidió que a cada paciente se le inyectaría un promedio de cinco microgramos, o cinco millonésimas de gramo de plutonio. Aunque la dosis prevista era cinco microgramos, la cantidad real de plutonio inyectada a los pacientes varió de 4,6 a 6,5 microgramos. La dosis de radiación acumulada recibida por cada paciente dependía de dos factores: la cantidad de material radiactivo inyectado en el cuerpo y cuánto tiempo vivían los sujetos. Cuanto más vivían los pacientes, mayor era su dosis acumulada. Antes de que comenzaran las inyecciones en humanos, a tres ratas se les inyectó en las venas de la cola la misma solución de plutonio que Langham y Bassett planeaban administrar a los pacientes. Sólo un pequeño porcentaje del plutonio fue a parar a los hígados de los roedores, lo que hizo que los dos científicos tuvieran más confianza en que el plutonio inyectado en los seres humanos "no sería absorbido en alta concentración por un solo órgano como el hígado", escribió Bassett. Wright Langham y Samuel Bassett se guardaron sus temores sobre posibles daños hepáticos y otras consecuencias para la salud a largo plazo y, finalmente, los pacientes fueron dados de alta del hospital sin que nunca les hubieran dicho lo que les habían hecho. Durante el resto de sus vidas, los inyectados llevaban dentro de sus cuerpos el plutonio que habían recibido en la sala metabólica de Samuel Bassett. Algunas veces se ‘inventaban’ operaciones para biopsiar órganos internos de pacientes ‘supuestamente’ enfermos y controlar su depósito en los tejidos. La energia nuclear estuvo bien vista en aquel tiempo y por desgracia ahora tenemos otro renacimiento de su popularidad. En esa época se realizaban radiografías con fluoroscopios en las zapaterías especializadas en bebés y niños con desastrosos resultados a largo plazo. Era normal retirar la estática de los discos de vinilo con un cepillo que contenía polonio 210 o llevar un reloj de muñeca con pintura de radio. Todo el mundo apoyaba la radiación y sus oscuros secretos siguen hoy dia a buen recaudo, pero prosigamos. Algunas de las empresas mas importantes USA se involucraron en la carrera para producir la bomba atómica…Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation, Du Pont, Clinton Engineering Works, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, National Carbon Company, Speer Carbon Company, Chrysler, Eastman Kodak, Allis-Chalmers, General Electric, General Motors, Kellogg…lo que se conoció como Proyecto Manhattan. Curiosamente si buscan Proyecto Manhattan en la wikipedia observarán que ni uno solo de los nombres de empresas que citan autores como Manuel Sánchez Ron aparecen allí, ¿raro, verdad? Entre ellas estaba una fábrica química de la compañía Du Pont, la Nemours Company en Deepwater, Nueva Jersey…se dedicó a producir millones de libras de fluoruro para el proyecto Manhattan. La conexión entre la fluoración del agua que defendía el Dr. Hodge y la industria nuclear es clara. A la industria nuclear, al igual que a la del aluminio y a la de los fertilizantes le sobraban cientos de miles de toneladas de flúor y meterlo en la boca de los contribuyentes era una buena forma de deshacerse de dicho residuo. Dejaremos en la descripción del podcast un documental muy aclarador titulado “El Engaño Del Flúor”. En el Estado de Wisconsin, dos dentistas, Frank Bull y John Frisch, se organizaron para poner en marcha el siniestro movimiento de la fluoración. En aquel momento, el trust del aluminio pertenecía en secreto a la Casa Rockefeller; 25 años antes había pertenecido a Andrew Mellon de Pittsburgh; a su muerte, la Casa Rockefeller se apoderó discretamente de él, negando oficialmente cualquier relación con Alcoa a través de su agente de prensa; Sin embargo, el Manual de Industriales y el informe anual del Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores de Rockefeller informaban de que el yerno de Andrew Mellon, miembro de la Casa Rockefeller, era el propietario, junto con su esposa, de la empresa Alcoa. La Casa Rockefeller, posee con su esposa la mayor parte de los fondos de la Compañía de Aluminio. Para aumentar el control de Rockefeller en las reuniones del consejo de Alcoa, Donald K. David, testaferro del Instituto Rockefeller, fue nombrado uno de los directores. Los ingenieros de ventas de Rockefeller pronto descubrieron que si el fluoruro de sodio se podía vender por sólo 1,5 centavos de dólar la libra, se obtendrían unos beneficios de 15 millones de dólares al año. El anuncio de Cox fue acogido con entusiasmo. Los peces gordos del Rockefeller Center se pusieron inmediatamente manos a la obra para preparar una gran campaña de fluoración del agua potable de 16.750 municipios estadounidenses. La operación se puso en marcha hacia 1945. Justamente los técnicos de Alcoa trabajaron mano a mano con químicos del Instituto Mellon y otras multinacionales (Dow Chemical Company, Colgate, Kellog, DuPont) hasta conseguir lo que hoy día se conoce como “la mafia del flúor” (Stephen 1995). En 1944, Oscar Ewing se convirtió repentinamente en uno de los principales empleados de Alcoa. Unos meses más tarde, el Sr. Ewing fue nombrado administrador de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad, actual Departamento de Salud de los Estados Unidos. Ewing recibió 750.000 dólares por un motivo que nunca se reveló, incluso después de que el congresista Al. Miller, de Nebraska, reuniera los datos sobre la donación y presentará su informe al Congreso. El Servicio de Salud Pública de EE.UU., que había sido puesto bajo la jurisdicción de la Agencia Federal de Seguridad de Ewing por el Congreso, lanzó una campaña de promoción masiva en todo Estados Unidos. Bajo la administración de Ewing, se votaron presupuestos enormes, se dieron millones de dólares a colegas médicos y dentistas y, en 1951, pidió y obtuvo dos millones de dólares para promover la idea de la purificación del agua potable. Una de las primeras medidas adoptadas fue establecer una prueba en dos ciudades piloto, Newburgh y Kingston. El agua de Newburgh estaba fluorada, la de Kingston no. El Cuerpo Comisionado del Servicio de Salud Pública de Estados anunció que en 5 años examinarán los dientes de los escolares de las dos ciudades y que la fluoración habría reducido la caries en un 50%. Dado que se transporta en la sangre, el flúor debe encontrarse en todas las partes del cuerpo. Al igual que los huesos, los dientes contienen derivados del flúor. El esmalte dental está compuesto por un 3% de dentina y un 97% de una combinación salina muy íntima de fosfato cálcico, carbonato y flúor. En total, un hombre de 70 kg. contiene de 95 a 100 g. de fluoruro combinado, suministrado y repuesto por la dieta en una forma salina compleja que, en casos normales, garantiza su fijación y ausencia de efectos nocivos. Parte de la ingesta diaria se fija para construir y renovar los huesos y los dientes; la otra parte circula y se elimina en las heces y la orina. Debo mencionar de pasada que las industrias médica y conservera de alimentos utilizan desde hace tiempo fluoruros alcalinos y alcalinotérreos. Ambas saben perfectamente que son a la vez antisépticos potentes y tóxicos algo parecido a lo que pasa con el Bisfenol A de las botellas. Es increíble como habiendo más de 1300 artículos científicos sobre la alta toxicidad de los fluoruros todavía se permita su comercialización sin apenas controles y que se hable de las ventajas de añadirlo al agua y a todo tipo de cosas. Parece que no hemos aprendido nada de la historia de otras sustancias de las que también nos dijo la ciencia que eran seguras como el plomo en la gasolina, el amianto, el DDT, etc Poderoso caballero es don dinero y en este caso la población en general no ha sido advertida de los peligros del flúor ya que las supuestas ONGs y los grupos ecologistas están patrocinados por los mismos fabricantes de este veneno. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ACCIDENTES Y ENVENENAMIENTOS POR FLUORURO El fluoruro, el ingrediente activo de muchos pesticidas y rodenticidas, es un veneno poderoso, más venenoso que el plomo . Debido a esto, la ingestión excesiva accidental de fluoruro puede causar síntomas tóxicos graves. Cada año hay miles de informes a los centros de control de intoxicaciones en los Estados Unidos relacionados con la ingestión excesiva de pastas dentales, enjuagues bucales y suplementos con flúor. Los accidentes de fluoración del agua , que provocan niveles excesivos de fluoruro en el agua, han sido una de las fuentes de intoxicación aguda por fluoruro . FLUORURO Y FLUOROSIS DENTAL La ingestión excesiva de flúor durante los primeros años de la infancia puede dañar las células formadoras de los dientes, provocando un defecto en el esmalte conocido como fluorosis dental . Los dientes afectados por fluorosis tienen una decoloración visible, que va desde manchas blancas hasta manchas marrones y negras . Según los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades , el 32% de los niños estadounidenses tienen actualmente algún tipo de fluorosis dental, y entre el 2 y el 4% de los niños padecen las etapas de moderada a grave (CDC 2005). Según el Dr. Hardy Limeback , Jefe de Odontología Preventiva de la Universidad de Toronto, "es ilógico suponer que el esmalte dental es el único tejido afectado por la ingestión de bajas dosis diarias de flúor. FLUORURO Y ALERGIA/HIPERSENSIBILIDAD Como lo reconoce Physicians' Desk Reference , algunas personas son alérgicas o hipersensibles al fluoruro. El ensayo clínico más grande, financiado por el gobierno, encontró que el 1% de las personas expuestas a 1 mg/día de fluoruro presentaban reacciones alérgicas/hipersensibles, incluidas reacciones cutáneas, malestar gástrico y dolor de cabeza FLUORURO Y LOS RIÑONES Los riñones desempeñan un papel vital en la prevención de la acumulación excesiva de fluoruro en el cuerpo. Entre las personas sanas, los riñones excretan aproximadamente el 50% de la ingesta diaria de fluoruro. Sin embargo, entre las personas con enfermedad renal, la capacidad de los riñones para excretar se ve notablemente afectada, lo que resulta en una acumulación de fluoruro en el cuerpo . Es bien sabido que las personas con enfermedad renal tienen una mayor susceptibilidad a los efectos tóxicos acumulativos del fluoruro. De particular preocupación es la posibilidad de que el fluoruro, cuando se acumula en el sistema esquelético, cause o exacerbe la osteodistrofia renal , una enfermedad ósea que se encuentra comúnmente entre personas con enfermedad renal avanzada. Además, se ha demostrado definitivamente que el fluoruro envenena la función renal en dosis altas durante exposiciones a corto plazo tanto en animales como en humanos. El impacto de dosis bajas de fluoruro, administradas durante largos períodos de tiempo, no se ha estudiado adecuadamente. Un estudio reciente en animales, realizado por científicos de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (Varner 1998), informó que la exposición a sólo 1 ppm de fluoruro causaba daño renal en ratas si bebían agua durante un período prolongado, mientras que un nuevo estudio realizado en China encontró una mayor tasa de enfermedad renal entre los seres humanos que consumían más de 2 ppm (Liu 2005). Por lo tanto, los efectos adversos para la función renal que causa el fluoruro en dosis altas durante períodos cortos de tiempo también pueden replicarse con dosis pequeñas si se consume durante períodos prolongados. FLUORURO Y EL CEREBRO La capacidad del fluoruro para dañar el cerebro representa una de las áreas de investigación más activas sobre la toxicidad del fluoruro en la actualidad. La preocupación por el impacto del fluoruro en el cerebro ha sido alimentada por 18 estudios en humanos (de China, México, India e Irán) que informaron déficits de coeficiente intelectual entre niños expuestos a un exceso de fluoruro, por 4 estudios en humanos que indican que el fluoruro puede entrar y dañar el feto cerebro; y por un número creciente de estudios en animales que encuentran daños al tejido cerebral (a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm) y deterioro del aprendizaje y la memoria entre los grupos tratados con fluoruro. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE.UU. , "es evidente que los fluoruros tienen la capacidad de interferir con las funciones del cerebro”. Los hallazgos de efectos neurológicos en humanos expuestos al flúor son coherentes con los resultados recientes de más de 40 estudios en animales publicados desde 1992, y se ven reforzados por ellos. Al igual que los estudios en humanos, los estudios en animales han informado de un deterioro en los procesos de aprendizaje y memoria entre los grupos tratados con flúor. 6) Los estudios en animales también han documentado pruebas considerables de los efectos tóxicos directos del flúor en el tejido cerebral, incluso a niveles tan bajos como 1 ppm de flúor en el agua (Varner 1998). Estos efectos incluyen: -- reducción de los receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina; -- reducción del contenido lipídico; -- deterioro de los sistemas de defensa antioxidante; -- daños en el hipocampo; -- daños en las células purkinje; -- aumento de la captación de aluminio; -- formación de placas beta-amiloides (la clásica anomalía cerebral de la enfermedad de Alzheimer); -- Exacerbación de las lesiones inducidas por la deficiencia de yodo. -- acumulación de flúor en la glándula pineal. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA PINEAL En la década de 1990, se descubrió que la glándula pineal es un sitio importante de acumulación de fluoruro dentro del cuerpo , con concentraciones de fluoruro más altas que los dientes o los huesos. Estudios posteriores en animales indican que la acumulación de fluoruro en la glándula pineal puede reducir la síntesis de melatonina en la glándula , una hormona que ayuda a regular el inicio de la pubertad. Se descubrió que los animales tratados con fluoruro tenían niveles reducidos de melatonina circulante y un inicio más temprano de la pubertad que los animales no tratados. El científico que realizó la investigación concluyó: "La seguridad del uso de fluoruros se basa en última instancia en la suposición de que el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo es más sensible a los efectos tóxicos del fluoruro. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que los pinealocitos pueden ser tan susceptibles al fluoruro como el órgano del esmalte en desarrollo" ( Lucas 1997). El hecho de que el impacto del fluoruro en la glándula pineal nunca haya sido estudiado, ni siquiera considerado , antes de la década de 1990, pone de relieve una importante laguna en el conocimiento que sustenta las políticas actuales sobre el fluoruro y la salud. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "cualquier agente que afecte la función pineal podría afectar la salud humana de diversas maneras, incluidos efectos sobre la maduración sexual, el metabolismo del calcio, la función paratiroidea, la osteoporosis posmenopáusica, el cáncer y las enfermedades psiquiátricas”. FLUORURO Y LA GLÁNDULA TIROIDES Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU ., "varias líneas de información indican un efecto de la exposición al fluoruro sobre la función tiroidea", particularmente entre personas con deficiencia de yodo. El potencial del fluoruro para alterar la función tiroidea se ilustra más claramente por el hecho de que, hasta la década de 1970, los médicos europeos utilizaban el fluoruro como medicamento supresor de la tiroides en pacientes con hipertiroidismo (tiroides hiperactiva). Se utilizó fluoruro porque se encontró que era eficaz para reducir la actividad de la glándula tiroides , incluso en dosis tan bajas como 2 mg/día. Hoy en día, muchas personas que viven en comunidades fluoradas están ingiriendo dosis de fluoruro (1,6 a 6,6 mg/día) que se encuentran dentro del rango de dosis (2 a 10 mg/día) que alguna vez utilizaron los médicos para reducir la actividad tiroidea en pacientes con hipertiroidismo. Esto es particularmente preocupante considerando el problema generalizado del hipotiroidismo (tiroides poco activa) en los Estados Unidos. Los síntomas del hipotiroidismo incluyen obesidad, letargo, depresión y enfermedades cardíacas. FLUORURO Y ENFERMEDADES ÓSEAS Es bien sabido que la exposición excesiva al fluoruro causa una enfermedad ósea llamada fluorosis esquelética . La fluorosis esquelética, especialmente en sus primeras etapas , es una enfermedad difícil de diagnosticar y puede confundirse fácilmente con diversas formas de artritis , incluidas la osteoartritis y la artritis reumatoide . En sus etapas avanzadas, la fluorosis puede parecerse a una multitud de enfermedades de huesos y articulaciones. En personas con enfermedad renal, la exposición al fluoruro puede contribuir y/o exacerbar la osteodistrofia renal . FLUORURO Y FRACTURA ÓSEA La mayoría de los estudios en animales que investigan el efecto del fluoruro sobre la resistencia ósea han encontrado que el fluoruro no tiene ningún efecto o tiene un efecto negativo sobre la resistencia . Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU. , "El peso de la evidencia indica que, aunque el fluoruro podría aumentar el volumen óseo, hay menos resistencia por unidad de volumen". Los estudios en poblaciones humanas que consumen fluoruro en el agua potable han encontrado una asociación entre la fluorosis dental y un aumento de las fracturas óseas en los niños ; y entre el consumo prolongado de agua fluorada y el aumento de fracturas de cadera en los ancianos. Ensayos clínicos en humanos cuidadosamente realizados , incluidos dos "ensayos doble ciego", han descubierto que el fluoruro (en dosis de 18 a 34 mg/día durante sólo 1 a 4 años) aumenta la tasa de fracturas óseas, particularmente de cadera, entre pacientes con osteoporosis. . FLUORURO Y CÁNCER Según el Programa Nacional de Toxicología, "la preponderancia de la evidencia" de estudios de laboratorio 'in vitro' indica que el fluoruro es un compuesto mutagénico . Muchas sustancias que causan daños mutagénicos también causan cáncer. Si bien las concentraciones de fluoruro que causan daño mutagénico en estudios de laboratorio son más altas que las concentraciones encontradas en la sangre humana, existen ciertos "microambientes" en el cuerpo (por ejemplo, los huesos y la vejiga ) donde las concentraciones de fluoruro pueden acumularse a niveles comparables a, o en exceso de aquellos que causan efectos mutagénicos en el laboratorio. Se ha descubierto que el fluoruro causa cáncer de huesos (osteosarcoma) en estudios gubernamentales con animales y se ha descubierto que las tasas de osteosarcoma entre los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas fluoradas son más altas que las de los hombres jóvenes que viven en áreas no fluoradas. El osteosarcoma, aunque poco común, es un cáncer muy grave. Los niños que desarrollan osteosarcoma enfrentan una alta probabilidad de muerte (generalmente dentro de los 3 años) o amputación. La exposición al fluoruro también se ha relacionado con el cáncer de vejiga , particularmente entre los trabajadores expuestos al exceso de fluoruro en el lugar de trabajo. Según el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de EE. UU., "se deben realizar más investigaciones sobre el posible efecto del fluoruro en el riesgo de cáncer de vejiga”. FLUORURO Y EL TRACTO GASTROINTESTINAL Entre personas hipersensibles al flúor , se han producido dolencias gastrointestinales tras la ingestión de comprimidos de 1 mg de flúor o el consumo de 1 ppm de agua fluorada. En ensayos clínicos cuidadosamente controlados , se ha descubierto que una sola ingestión de tan solo 3 mg de fluoruro produce daños en la mucosa gástrica en voluntarios adultos sanos. Nunca se ha realizado ninguna investigación en la mucosa gástrica para determinar el efecto de dosis más bajas con exposición repetida. FLUORURO Y CARIES (Caries) Según el consenso actual de la comunidad de investigación dental, el beneficio principal, si no el único, del fluoruro para los dientes proviene de la aplicación TÓPICA en la superficie exterior de los dientes, no de la ingestión . Por lo tanto, tal vez no sea sorprendente que las tasas de caries hayan disminuido a tasas similares en todos los países occidentales en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, independientemente de si el país fluora o no su agua . Hoy en día, las tasas de caries en toda Europa occidental continental son tan bajas como las tasas de caries en los Estados Unidos, a pesar de una profunda disparidad en la prevalencia de la fluoración del agua en las dos regiones. En los países que fluoran el agua, estudios recientes a gran escala sobre salud dental (utilizando métodos científicos modernos no utilizados en los primeros estudios de los años 1930 y 1950) han encontrado pocas diferencias en la caries , incluida la "caries del biberón" , entre las aguas fluoradas. y comunidades no fluoradas. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Conozcamos algunos datos del proyecto Manhattan. El Proyecto Manhattan fue un proyecto de investigación y desarrollo llevado a cabo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial entre los años 1942 y 1946 que produjo las primeras armas nucleares, liderado por los Estados Unidos con el apoyo del Reino Unido y de Canadá. El Proyecto Manhattan comenzó de forma modesta, creciendo progresivamente hasta tener más de 130 000 empleados y alcanzar un coste de casi 2000 millones de dólares de la época, unos 70.000 millones en la actualidad. Más del 90 % del presupuesto se destinó a la construcción de fábricas y a la producción de materiales fisibles, con menos del 10 % destinado al desarrollo y producción de armas. La investigación y producción tuvieron lugar en más de 30 lugares por todos los Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Canadá. En junio de 1944 el Proyecto Manhattan tenía alrededor de 129 000 trabajadores empleados, de los que 84500 eran trabajadores de la construcción, 40500 eran operadores de planta y 1800 eran personal militar. Como al final diseñaron una bomba con U-235, el material que se utiliza en los reactores comerciales y que solo es el 0,7% de todo el uranio se tuvo que separar dicho uranio de los otros radioisótopos que no eran necesarios como el el U-238 que es al que se le denomina uranio empobrecido. De cada gramo de uranio natural el 99,284 % de la masa es uranio-238, el 0,711 % uranio-235,2 y el 0,0085 % uranio-234. Separar el U-235 del U-238 fue una tarea titánica en aquella época y se utilizaron tres métodos principales ya que la centrifugación supuso un gran desafío técnico por la complejidad de los rodamientos y ejes necesarios para separar los radioisótopos de uranio. El proceso requería altas velocidades de rotación, pero a su paso por determinadas velocidades se creaban vibraciones armónicas que podían romper la maquinaria. Por ello, era necesario obtener una rápida aceleración para superar estas velocidades. producir un kilo de uranio-235 por día precisaría de hasta 50000 centrifugados con rotores de 1 metro, o 10000 centrifugados con rotores de 4 metros, asumiendo que fuera posible construir estos últimos. Por eso se recurrió al uso de calutrones, la termoforesis y la difusión gaseosa. Los calderones son una especie de imanes gigantes que separaban los dos tipos de radioisótopos calentando el uranio e ionizándolo para luego recogerlo por electromagnetismo en dos zonas diferenciadas. Debido a la escasez de cobre durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los electroimanes fueron hechos con miles de toneladas de plata prestadas por el Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos. La termoforesis (también denominada termomigración, termodifusión, efecto Soret, o efecto Ludwig-Soret) es un fenómeno observado en mezclas de partículas móviles, cuando diferentes tipos de partículas exhiben distintas respuestas ante la presencia de un gradiente térmico. Esta técnica no es practica para trabajar a gran escala y apenas fue empleada pasando a realizarse la separación de isótopos de uranio por difusión gaseosa o lo que es lo mismo mediante el uso de centrifugadoras. La difusión gaseosa fue una de las varias tecnologías para la separación de isótopos de uranio desarrolladas por parte del Proyecto Manhattan para producir uranio enriquecido forzando que el hexafluoruro de uranio (único compuesto del uranio gaseoso) atraviese membranas semi-permeables. Esto produce una ligerísima separación entre las moléculas que contienen uranio-235 y uranio-238. Mediante el uso de una gran cascada de muchos pasos, se pueden conseguir grandes separaciones. Los edificios de proceso construidos para albergar estas máquinas en cascada fueron en su momento los más grandes jamás construidos, hablamos de 600 etapas en una larga estructura en forma de U de 800 metros de longitud, que contenía 54 edificios contiguos. La preparación de la materia a tratar, el hexafluoruro de uranio (conocido en el mercado como hex ) fue la primera aplicación para el fluoruro producida comercialmente, y los problemas generados por el manejo tanto del fluoruro como del hex como gases corrosivos fueron significativos. El proyecto Manhattan se llama así porque la oficina que escogió el jefe de ingenieros militar se ubico en el 18.º del 270 Broadway en Nueva York. Además estaba cerca de la oficina en Manhattan de Stone & Webster, el principal contratista del proyecto…así que se quedó con ese nombre. El mando militar corrió a cargo del general Groves y el mando científico ya saben de J. Robert Oppenheimer, apodado el padre de la bomba. En 1944 se adquirió 560 000 kg de mineral de óxido de uranio a compañías que explotaban minas en el Congo Belga. Para poder evitar informar al Secretario del Tesoro estadounidense Henry Morgenthau Jr. sobre el proyecto, utilizaron una cuenta bancaria especial no sujeta a las habituales auditorías y controles por los que tenían que pasar este tipo de fondos. Entre 1944 y el momento en el que dimitió del Fondo en 1947, Groves depositó un total de 37,5 millones de dólares en la cuenta del Fondo. La minería de uranio en Colorado producía alrededor de unas 700 toneladas de uranio al año. Realmente utilizaron los tres procesos encadenados, primero producían uranio enriquecido del 0,71 % hasta el 0,89 % en la planta S-50 de termoforesis que pasó a ser la primera etapa. Este material se usaba en el proceso de difusión gaseosa en la planta K-25, produciendo un producto enriquecido hasta un 23 % que a su vez alimentaba a la planta Y-12 con los calutrones, llegando allí hasta al 89 %, lo suficiente para las armas nucleares. Decir que la planta con los calutrones estuvo en un principio siendo operada por científicos de Berkeley para eliminar fallos y conseguir un índice operacional razonable. Pero fueron finalmente sustituidos por operadoras formadas por Tennessee Eastman (la Kodak) que solo habían recibido una educación secundaria. Cuando compararon los datos vieron que las lugareñas producían mucho mas uranio que los doctorados. A fecha de julio de 1945 se habían entregado alrededor de unos 50 kg de uranio enriquecido hasta un 89 % de uranio-235 en Los Álamos. Estos 50 kg al completo, junto con uranio adicional enriquecido al 50 %, dio un promedio resultante de uranio enriquecido al 85 %, que fueron utilizados en la bomba Little Boy. O sea unos 100kg de U235 al 85%. El uranio natural se compone principalmente de uranio-238 (U-238), que no es fisible, y uranio-235 (U-235), que es fisible. Para producir 100 kg de U-235 enriquecido al 85%, primero debemos determinar la cantidad de uranio natural requerida y luego calcular la cantidad de UF6 necesaria para alcanzar ese enriquecimiento. La relación entre el peso atómico del U-235 y el U-238 es aproximadamente 0.72. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 14.285 kg de uranio normal para obtener 100 kg de uranio enriquecido al 100% y 12.142 kg para que este solo al 85%. En 12 gramos de uranio normal hay 3*10²³ átomos y en todos esos kilos hay una cifra enorme aproximada de 3 x 10^25 átomos de uranio. El UF6 se utiliza para enriquecer uranio, y en el proceso, se convierte todo el uranio (tanto el U-235 como el U-238) en UF6. Por lo tanto, necesitamos 6 átomos de flúor por uno de uranio, o sea 18 x 10^25 átomos de flúor. Lo que equivale a unas 50 toneladas de flúor de las que nunca mas se supo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

Gulf Oil is getting a new owner. Moderate growth is forecasted for grocers this year. And there's a new social media platform that might merit retailers' attention.

As the 1940s got underway, bringing the U.S. closer to World War II, Humphrey Bogart drifted socially and professionally. That year he made four films: Virginia City, It All Came True, Brother Orchid, and They Drive By Night. On Sunday January 7th, 1940 at 7:30PM eastern time over CBS, he reprised his role of Duke Mantee in a Screen Guild Theater adaptation of The Petrified Forest. The Screen Guild Theater drew several Hollywood stars a week for radio adaptations. First taking to the air on January 8th, 1939 for Gulf Oil, all fees that would normally go to stars instead were given to the Motion Picture Relief Fund. This money was used to build and maintain the Motion Picture Country House: forty bungalow units for housing aging and needy film stars. By the summer of 1942 almost eight-hundred-thousand-dollars had been raised. This episode's rating was a 13. Roughly nine million listeners tuned in. In late 1940, John Huston was adapting a script for a new film, High Sierra. Produced by Mark Hellinger and directed by Raoul Walsh, Paul Muni, George Raft, James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson all turned down the lead role, much to the delight of Huston. The character gave Bogart the chance to show his range. Finally playing someone with depth, the film was Bogart's career breakthrough, transforming him from supporting player to leading man. He played opposite Ida Lupino. The film's success also led to a breakthrough for Huston, giving him the leverage needed to transition from screenwriter to director, setting Bogart up for Huston's next project: an adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon. The Maltese Falcon was Huston's directorial debut. Although a pre-code version of the film had been made ten years earlier, the 1941 version with Bogart starring as private detective Sam Spade was considered an instant classic film noir. Complementing Bogart were co-stars Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Mary Astor, and Elisha Cook Jr. Bogart's sharp timing and facial expressions were praised as vital to the film's quick action and hard-boiled dialogue. It was a commercial hit, and Bogart was unusually happy with the film. He later said, "It's practically a masterpiece. I don't have many things I'm proud of, but that's one." The film was nominated for three Academy Awards, including best picture and best direction. Bogart reprised his role on the July 3rd, 1946 episode of Academy Award Theater.

By now, regular listeners to this podcast have observed that I begin episodes with the word “Unstoppable”. I stole the idea from the old-time radio show Dragnet which began every show with the words “The Big” followed by other title words. Hey, it worked for Dragnet so why invent something new?

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us.   Michael Hingson  01:20 Welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. Today, we get to talk with Dr. David Schein, who lives in Houston. And Dr. Shein, or David, as he likes to sometimes be called, is the Endowed Chair of the Cameron School of Business at the University of St. Thomas. And we'll get into all of that, and lots of other stuff. But David, I'm gonna go ahead and call you David, if that's okay. Welcome to mindset.   Dr.David Schein  01:54 Well, thank you. And I appreciate the invitation. And, you know, we had an opportunity for a pre interview recently. And I'm fascinated by your background and your accomplishments. So it's, it's it's fun to be back with you.   Michael Hingson  02:08 So do you do a podcast?   Dr.David Schein  02:10 Yes, I actually do two series right now I do. The main one is called saving America. And we're in our fourth season of that. And it's called the intersection of business and politics. And then the other series, which is more recent is called Business Law 101. And as I teach business law, to college seniors, we've selected different lectures and clipped them into just three to five minute portions. And we're now adding new sections of current business news events that have a legal aspect. So the case would be pretty busy.   Michael Hingson  02:52 Well, if you ever need to guest if you think we're a fit, after all of this, would love to explore it. That'd be great. Certainly, and certainly anyone who is listening to this, by the end, we will go through how you can reach out to David and you might be a guest on his podcast as well or certainly learn more about what he has to offer, but we'll get there. So, you said in our earlier discussions, that you grew up in a large family, I'd love to learn about that. Sure. I only had one brother so of course two parents, but only one brother. So we didn't have the luxury or, or challenges or joy of a large family.   Dr.David Schein  03:35 Well, it is a two bladed sword. I'm the oldest of seven children. My dad was a career enlisted member of the US Navy and especially in the time period I don't think they're well paid today. But certainly when he was doing his career in the military from shortly after World War Two until around 1980 The pay was was not good. And he had to you know struggle financially keep food on the table and keep a roof over our heads. And my mom because of the seven children really couldn't work outside the home because she had quite a bit to take care of it the house. We all had family responsibilities, the boys so we were very traditional background, the three boys we were responsible for yard maintenance and taking the trash out stuff and the girls helped my mom in the kitchen and with with laundry and things like that. So we all had our own responsibilities and basically clean up your own stuff. But it was it was a bit of a challenge at the same time. It's it's funny because of what you just said about having one on one brother because you get used to kind of it's it's more of a crew and An approach than an individualistic approach if you know what I mean.   Michael Hingson  05:04  Yeah. So I do understand what you're saying. So what what did your dad do?   Dr.David Schein  05:12 He was a chief Yeoman. And he retired as the chief Yeoman in the US Navy. He did 28 and a half years in the Navy, he actually was afforded an opportunity. The crossover degree or the enlisted level is called an ensign. An ensign is the crossover from enlisted to Officer. But he felt that at the time, they offered that to him, that the cost of uniforms to go to Officer uniforms and so forth, would would put too much of a financial crunch in the family. So he actually career to out as a as the senior enlisted officer, which is the chief in the Navy sergeant in the Army.   Michael Hingson  05:57 Interesting. So the military didn't pay for the uniforms and all that.   Dr.David Schein  06:04 Apparently, they they give you an allowance, but like in a lot of things, it's not enough to actually have a complete redo. And my dad was a very modest fellow. And I think he also felt socially pressured because he had not yet finished college. And generally speaking, in the military, the standard, pretty much post World War Two is that you finished college and you can start as a junior lieutenant, or, you know, junior officer, but then you can move up from there. So since he didn't have a college degree at the time, I think that was another factor,   Michael Hingson  06:41 a factor that kind of limited what he was able to get,   Dr.David Schein  06:46 right or that he was willing to take on, because he would have been dealing primarily with other officers who did have a college degree already.   Michael Hingson  06:54 So when did he actually term out in the military, then?   Dr.David Schein  06:59 I'm looking back I said, 1980, actually, I think it was around 1974. And so he actually was in the military through the Vietnam War. And at one point, he did have orders to go to Vietnam, which for a navy cabin person, if you will, Yeoman manages the business of the ship. That's a relatively safe position. But he would have been sitting on the ship outside of Tonkin Harbor, rather than being on land or flying planes over North Vietnam, which was, of course, as you know, from John McCain story, much more dangerous activity. But because he had so many children, there was some intercession there. And he was moved to a three year position at Norfolk, Virginia, which in turn ended up my strong connection to the state of Virginia. You know, Norfolk is navy town, USA,   Michael Hingson  07:59 right. So you grew up more than in Virginia than anywhere else?   Dr.David Schein  08:06 Well, I went to the school that I went to was divided in a very neat fashion. It had the school system in Norfolk, Virginia, which by the way, was a fully integrated system, which I thought was very beneficial. I went from a high school in Massachusetts, with a total of 12 black students in the whole school, in small town in suburban Boston, to a high school, a large high school that was 1/3, black. And so it was my first experience dealing with a much more diverse student population. And in fact, when I was in high school, this was still a transition period in the late 60s, where we're one of the first integrated high school debate teams. I know it seems strange today, but they the people around us were not used to seeing black and white students on the same high school debate team. And we had some interesting experiences because of that. But it was a great experience for me to go to a different state. But because it was a senior high school system when I moved there, starting my sophomore year in high school, all of the other students were starting there at the same time. So whereas many military families, you would just get dropped in at whatever day or semester that your father or mother ended up being transferred. You were kind of at the mercy of what was happening, but that did help me a great deal to be on the same level as the other students. In other words, we all were starting in a new school and our sophomore year, and it's quite a big high school. My graduating, the whole school had 2700 students for just three grades, and my graduating class had over 700 students.   Michael Hingson  09:57 What school was it again?   Dr.David Schein  09:59 It was called Norview Senior High and the novel Cavs gone back to the traditional system where the middle schools are sixth, seventh and eighth grade. And the high schools for the traditional four year high school, and but at the time was called Norview, Senior High. And it was one of the four high schools and Northfolk. And they expanded to five high schools while I was in high school I was fortunate enough to stay with, with Norview. But it was, it was very interesting experience because we were living in government housing, which was when you're in the military, especially as an enlisted man living in government, housing is a better deal, because the token cost of your housing, it cannot be replaced in the civilian marketplace. But it was very interesting, because I was the one of the first honors graduates that the high school ever had, who was living in the housing project that was served by that high school. And then my sister did it the the year behind us. So we kind of turned things around a little bit. I came in second in my high school graduating class, my sister graduated year behind me and was first in her class. So I think we redefined what it was like to have students coming out of a government housing project   Michael Hingson  11:21 must have been a little bit of a challenge, having seven kids and, and dealing with school and so on. Did you guys help each other a lot. We said we had a team network.   Dr.David Schein  11:34 Yeah, we had a particular system. Like I said, we all had family responsibilities, you know, chores to do. So what it looked like is the family would retire to the living room and watch the little black and white tea. But if they had at the time, and my sister Catherine and I who were the two oldest, would stay at the kitchen table and do homework until you know from say, you know, dinnertime until 10, sometimes later at night. And we did that every every night pretty much during the school year. So we there was my parents understood the need for us to do that. And the funny part was my parents, my mom had a GED, my dad was a high school graduate, my parents had no concept of what it was like to actually go to college, but they kept telling us you will go to college, you will go to college, college. And it's like, you know, once I got to college, it was like, I don't think my parents really quite handy that I had a clue. But in i in i didn't take any money from my parents once I left for college. And then my sister a year later also did not take any money when she left for college. So it was an unusual thing. And I find it interesting today that the federal government is talking about dismissing student loans. And, you know, all I can say is my sister, I don't know if my sister borrowed very much money at all. But I borrowed a modest amount of money for federally guaranteed loans, and I paid all of them back this year once I got out of school. And I think that's the appropriate thing to do. Because you're making an investment in your own future.   Michael Hingson  13:24 It is a lot more expensive to to do college. Now. I know when I went to university, California, Irvine. So it's the A state university system. I think it was like $273 of quarter for registration and so on. And I know living in the dorm. It was I think, if I recall, right. I'm trying to remember it was not it grossly expensive was like $1,200 to live in the dorm. And you know, it's of course, a lot different nowadays.   Dr.David Schein  14:09 Yes, it is it there's no question about it. And I just had my younger son finished college in 2018. And he attended, actually a branch of Texas a&m University, a state university here in Texas. And it was the cost of education was not trivial. But he did very well. He did very well when he's finished school. And I actually think he makes about what I make and he's working half as much so I think he had a good investment. And so you know, and one of the things that statistically they look at on the student loans is the two schools that have the largest student debt, our law school and medical school. Now in fairness law school is not a good Guaranteed payout a lot of people think it is. But, you know, speaking as a law graduate, you have to get out there and get job done and work hard. And especially if you hang out your shingle, it's certainly not a guaranteed paycheck. But for medical school, there's such an enormous demand for medical doctors, that the the normal payout is 10 to $20,000 a month as soon as they get their their medical license. So in that ballpark, I'm not sure why we would forgive student loans for those people unless they go to low income communities and do things like that. And then parallel to that, is the students who pursue education that go to work in urban school districts also get a certain balance. I think students with disabilities also can apply for student loan relief. So I favor more targeted programs than just blanket just saying, oh, we'll just write off all the student debt. I don't think that's I don't think it serves a social interest. In other words,   Michael Hingson  16:11 so you left high school and went to college. And you also, as I recall, started a radio show and eventually started your own business. Yes, early, you're doing a lot of innovative things and your family taught you well, how to think and how to move forward. And of course, the terminology we use is Be unstoppable. But tell us about college in your your business and the radio show, if you Well,   Dr.David Schein  16:39 thanks for bringing that up. I started I've been a writer since I was fairly young. And I went to K through 12k through eight rather, in the Catholic school system. And you know, that's a back then, especially when it's a very good school system with the nuns, who really focused on the three R's. And especially writing. And I'm not saying every every one of us can write, but certainly it inspired me to write and I was a very avid reader. And so when I was in high school, I was quite capable of writing papers, I used to type papers for other students and things like that. And so when I got to college, I started with the student newspaper. And the thing I ran into is they kept editing and changing my articles. I got a little upset with that after a while, when they would take an article I'd spent a lot of time writing and cut it in half. And not not very creative editing either didn't come out very good. So I had an opportunity to move into radio, went and got my license. And initially just was being a college, radio station DJ, a bit of trivia WX pn, which is the FM radio station at the Penn campus was started by none other than Hamlet prince, the famous Broadway producer just recently passed away. Yes. And I while I was doing the entertainment radio, which is what I morphed into, I actually had the opportunity to interview him several times. And he was very gracious and cordial to allow a, you know, a college student to interview him. I think he did that. Also, because we were at the SPN station initially. And so I morphed into doing a entertainment radio show from seven to 8pm on a Thursday night, and about a year into that the W H Y. Y, which is the public radio station for the greater Philadelphia area, approached me and said, Dave, how would you feel about moving your radio program, which was called the arts Menagerie? How would you feel about when we got over to h y, y. And the advantage for me is that   Dr.David Schein  19:08 while WX, pn had a very good broadcast area, in fact, the two radio stations ironically had about the same power and about the same geographic coverage, the being affiliated with H Y, Y, and gave me a much broader access to traditional press outlets like I got invited to press luncheons, that things that involve the entertainment community, and it just gave me a foot in the door. So it was a very exciting time period. For me, I covered all sorts of things, and the show was recorded in the early evening, and then broadcasts from 10 to 11pm on the East Coast, and I would cover stage plays, fine art exhibits and would include interviews with different people. were touring. And I also provided reviews of different stage place and art shows. So it, it certainly opened a lot of doors for me. And of course, an experience like that. It's a very maturing experience. I did not ever look at it as a business. But the business came about because of kind of an odd situation. I am one of those stone sober people. And I've never done drugs, I don't really understand why you would want to do drugs. And I was doing this at a time when which I colloquially referred to as sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. And the summer before I started college was Woodstock, which famously was quite a celebration of sex, drugs and rock and roll. And so it was kind of a Woodstock generation. But what what I ran into was just a very, very just oddball situation. So there was an art gallery called the painted bride on South Street in Philadelphia, and South Street had been where all the bridal galleries were affiliated, and were associated they would be there was a neighborhood of art galleries, and it was kind of a neat area. And by 1970, South Street was a ruin. All the businesses had closed and there was a lot of crime and everything. So these fellows got together these art artists and art appreciator people started an art gallery called the painted bride. And what, what they did was, they would have live entertainment on Friday and Saturday night to help out local artists, you know, folk singers and similar performers. So they somehow connected with me, and I began to cover events at the painted bride. And what happened during that time period is South Street, blossomed into an arts district. And it became very popular and very trendy, and they had some high end restaurants open on South Street and other art galleries and   Dr.David Schein  22:18 nice bakeries, and all sorts of things happened during the several year period that we're talking about. But in any event, I'm over the painted bride. And talking to some of the folk singers, and we actually had some of the folk singers come on my radio program and perform live. And you know, just with a guitar, they would just show up and you know, we didn't do any special miking or anything, we just sit them back from the mic a little bit. So we got to do some pretty interesting stuff. But what happened was several the folks on yours approached me and they said, you don't do drugs, do you? And I know that sounds like a funny question. But what was happening at the time, is that the traditional model is you have a manager if you're a performer, most performers do not have business backgrounds. There's a few out there who do, but most do not. And so what what would happen is, is that the manager would get paid for the evening, and we're not talking about a lot of money, it might have been $60, it might have been $100 would be a nice night for folks. So you're back in 1970. But if the manager was on drugs, the performer might only get 20 out of the $100 or might get nothing and so they became very concerned because they needed management help but they didn't want some drug addict taking the bulk of the money or taking most of the money. After all, they had done the work. And so I began to to slowly represent some folks or years and once the word got out, it was all word of mouth. This is course before the internet, and I didn't have the money to buy any advertising or anything. And so I we said we created an acronym. So the arts Menagerie is T A M. So we call the business operation tam productions. And I had an artist who worked with me a wonderful artist named Alan Walker, who sadly passed away about four years ago and Al did some wonderful artwork created logos and letterhead and things like that. And I would get on the phone and call various colleges mostly but also clubs and book the folk singers and then it morphed in added rock bands and add some fine arts and I put on some art shows to display the artists created artwork. So there's a lot of fun and and I was able to break even I didn't make any enormous amount of money out of it. If you can think about it. Somebody's per forming for 60 or $100. The Management Commission is between six and $10. So you have to have a lot of $10 conditions to kind of pay the rent rent wasn't bad. I remember the rent was around 110 or $115 a month.   Michael Hingson  25:19 Did you manage anyone who we might know?   Dr.David Schein  25:23 Well, unfortunately, not I, what happened is I was accepted to a full time MBA program at the University of Virginia, when I came out of my undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania. And so, because of the pressures of that, and leaving Philadelphia, were the artists all were local in the Philadelphia area, I turned over the business to a young fellow who had already started an agency and he absorbed my people. And unfortunately, and again, you know, pre email, I think the current generation forgets how much more work it was when you didn't have mobile phones and you didn't have email to stay in touch with people. And of course, I was, you know, working very hard at grad school. But I did unfortunately lose con contact. I do know that one of the performers, one of my very first performers that I worked with, did release a children's recording around 2005 or 2006. I found that on the internet, and but I wasn't able to find any of the other performers. I did have the opportunity as a member of the press to meet a number of very famous people, including Carol Channing. Helen Hayes, Edward Maul hair. Just quite a list of people. Probably one of the most fun luncheons I had was the rock promoter, Bill Graham. And Bill Graham came to Philadelphia as part of a tour. What had happened is that rock had exploded during the several year period that we're talking about in the early 1970s. And it went from small venues like the Fillmore Fillmore east and Fillmore West, into big stadiums that could absorb the sound from the who and these other big groups. And so, Graham did very intelligent thing. He did a big concert promotion, run at the very end, and then close the two play analysis. And he released a triple album of the closing of the Fillmore. And so what happened was, is that as when he's promoting that, I had an opportunity to have lunch with him. And of course, unfortunately, several years later, he died in a helicopter crash. But that was, you know, there, it was very interesting to get a chance to talk with him. Close up.   Michael Hingson  27:57 I remember being at UC Irvine one Sunday, and we learn that there was a symposium on the presidency. And one of the speakers was going to be Hubert Humphrey. So this was after he was vice president. Yeah, we have this little college radio station, we decided that we were going to interview him, there were a few of us. So we went over. And we learned where he they were going to park his limo, and then he would walk to the gymnasium to do the presentation. And we intercepted the car. And as he got out, we said, Mr. Vice President, could we interview you and and he was very gracious. He said, You know, after my presentation, I'll be glad to talk with you boys. And and sure enough after the the meeting was over, the symposium was over. There were other people at a Gallup from Gallup polling organization. I remember even asked him a question. We were pretty impressed by Gallup being there but anyway, he did. Humphrey did his his session and came back out and they were trying to hustle him right back into the car. And he said, No, I promised these boys an interview and we're going to do it. He did, which was was a lot of fun.   Dr.David Schein  29:15 You know, it's interesting. You mentioned Hubert Humphrey. We talked a little bit about my high school days. And in order to get a full scholarship to an Ivy League college, I worked pretty hard in high school. And one of the things that happened while I was in high school is the beginning of the fall semester of my senior year, I was invited to the national citizenship conference, which was held in Washington DC, and I got to stay at the Mayflower Hotel, and just all sorts of exciting things happened. And one of the things I did while I was there is I went to the Hubert Humphrey for President headquarters. There you go. And I actually have a full color poster of Hubert Humphrey for president and I'd never displayed it, I did display it in my dorm room, briefly. So it's got a few pinholes in the corners. But I haven't in storage at this time. And I will probably put that up at eBay at some point. And you know, it should be a kind of a fun item. But it's an authentic, I can vouch for it, because I personally picked it up in September 1968, from the uebert Humphrey for President headquarters. But it was very interesting. I do have a few other bits and pieces from my visit to their political office there. So and I've been, you know, following politics for, you know, very long time. And so, in addition to my interest in business is my interest in politics.   Michael Hingson  30:47 So you went on to Virginia after undergraduate school, right? Correct. Yeah,   Dr.David Schein  30:53 UVA, at that time, had a kind of a take off on the Harvard program. It was a two year case method program. And most of the professors at the Virginia Darden School, Colgate Darden School of Business, had attended Harvard and done their doctor Business Administration DBA program. And so it was a heavily case method program, which is why the Harvard system was was styled. And because of Charlottesville, being Charlottesville, especially back then today. It's a hotbed of startups. But back then it was kind of a sleepy town that just happened to be hosting a top notch Business School. And while I was in their two year program, which is very intense program, the school moved into the top 20. And I think it's been in the top 20 business schools since.   Michael Hingson  31:51 So you eventually went to the Wharton graduate school?   Dr.David Schein  31:55 Well, while I was an undergraduate at Penn, I attended, I took about a year's worth of credit at the Wharton graduate division. And that was a very interesting experience. At that time. I don't know how pennant structure today, but at that time, there was no barricade between taking undergraduate graduate courses. And so I took a full years equivalent at Wharton graduate. And as I finished, the people at Wharton graduate knew me because they started the first entrepreneurship center in the United States collegian Entrepreneurship Center. And the person who started that center, love to interview the young David shine. Because I was out there doing it, you know, with, you know, running it out of the second bedroom in my little apartment, and they got kind of a kick out of it. And they would periodically when I would blow through their building, they'd say, hey, you know, let's talk to you for a few minutes. You know, what's the latest and kind of things that you and I just talked about? They would talk to me about it as they got it started. And to give you an idea of recently UPenn opened an entire building dedicated to that entrepreneurship center. So that center has been very successful. But what happened was, is the Wharton graduate people said, you know, look, they and they were blunt, they said, Look, shine, we know you too well, we don't want you to just stay here and get an MBA, go someplace else. And I was very ambitious and wanted to get my credentials. And the Darden School at Virginia was a similar program, they really wanted people who had been out working for, you know, two or three years and then come back for their doctorate, or master's degree rather. But in my case, they they allowed me to come in directly from college, because I have, I did have the radio show. And I did have the business experience of having my own business. Now, if I had it to do over again, I would really should have gone out and worked, as we say, worked corporate for a couple years and gotten a little bit more background before I got my MBA. But you know, that's, you know, that that's all news at this point. And in fact, I went directly from the Darden program to law school. And my connection to Euston was, I had family here in Houston. And they said, Hey, we heard you're thinking of going to law school, lunch, come down here and check out the University of Houston. So that was how I ended up at Euston.   Michael Hingson  34:32 What cause you though, to get a doctrine of jurisprudence or go into law, even though you had clearly been kind of going in another direction?   Dr.David Schein  34:41 Well, a couple of things that it I found that there were hitches. And frankly, I tried to get some legal help for like drafting contracts for my performers and things like that. And the attorneys that I worked with, I'll be very blunt. On work was sloppy. They didn't take, you know, young guy who was still in college seriously. They didn't give us the quick turnaround that we needed with contracts and things like that. And so I said, you know, I want to make sure that I'm a different kind of attorney at a business attorney who really, you know, get stuff out the door quickly. And so that was one factor. The other factor is at that time, a number of major corporation print presidents were also law graduates. So people either had an MBA and a law degree or just a law degree, and had been moved into the corner office. So I saw it as, as a win win move to go to law school. If I had that to do over again, I would probably law schools interesting, because for most people, it's a three year full time gig, or four year part time gig. And I would probably have taken some of the very generous offers I had finishing the MBA program and gone to law school at night on the four year cycle. So again, you know, there's a lot of options that you come across on the road there, but I did do college, the MBA in the law degree back to back to back, and all of them full time. I did finish law school a semester early. So that that helped me a little bit.   Michael Hingson  36:28 Something that I'm curious about, you have, clearly so far, we're talking all about your education, but you've done some pretty well rounded things, you've gotten an MBA, you went and got a law degree and so on. How did your upbringing and your your family life kind of shaped you to have that kind of mental attitude about going after education and just being really a survivor in what you did in college, and then later?   Dr.David Schein  36:59 Well, my parents worked very hard. Like I said, my mom did a little bit of gig work outside the house from time to time, but generally was a full time homemaker. And I can tell you, when you're raising seven kids, and you're doing a great job, which she did, she did a phenomenal job. That's That's dedication. That's hard work. That's you get you get up early, and you work hard all day. My dad, at the same time, had a successful military career. And he often worked a second job, especially when I would have been in middle school. Before we moved to Norfolk, Virginia, he works seasonal work in the evenings that would accommodate his military schedule when he was on shore duty. The way the Navy works, you're on a ship for two years, and then you're on shore duty for two years, and they rotate that. And so when he was on his shore duties schedule, he would work a second job to make some additional money and help keep the bills paid. So having seen my parents work that hard, certainly set a good example for us. The other thing, as I mentioned is my parents were they were pretty tough on us in terms of you will go to college, you will study hard, you will go to college. So my parents, you know, the paid attention to that and imbued us with this overall drive. My dad's family had a business interest and so my father's father was a mom and pop grocer in a small town in Massachusetts before the a&p opened the first major supermarket chain, open one of their locations in Taunton. Again, Tom's a small town between Boston and Providence, and over on the eastern part of Massachusetts, but it was kind of interesting, because that's a tough business and Joe shine. My father's father ran that grocery store during the Great Depression, when people were you know, they were giving food away up the street to people who weren't working. And here he was selling food. So he was a very creative person and in so the, you know, it's kind of a blood line   Michael Hingson  39:16 there. What did you do after you got your law degree?   Dr.David Schein  39:23 Well, being here in Houston, Texas, it was pretty straightforward. A while I was in law school, second half of law school, I worked for Gulf Oil, part time you get on an hourly basis working with natural gas contracts. When I finished law school, I got a minor offer from Gulf that I turned down another offer from another oil company. And I turned that down and then I hit the right one is I was given a job offer by Shell Oil Company, and I then had a nice, brief career with Shell Oil I work for Shell Look, the three states in three years, I had two promotions in that time period. And it was a tremendous place to work. The people say, Well, Dave, it was such a great place to work. Why did you leave? Well, I left to be a manager at a midsize oil company. And part of the problem with a Shell Oil is it's such a big organization, that if you're very ambitious, the opportunity to move up tends to be a little slower, just because there's so much competition, there's so many people between you and the next rung up the ladder. So I did you have a great deal more physical freedom and opportunity to do more things with a smaller oil company. But that's so I did, I went with another old company. And so my total corporate employment was about 10 years. And at that point, I hung out my shingle. And so I did private practice for about a dozen years after that.   Michael Hingson  40:59 You couldn't convince them to change the name of the company from Shell Oil to Schein oil Hmm.   Dr.David Schein  41:05 Well, I'll tell you, they after I left shell that they, at some point, shell did start a new ventures division. And I thought that was pretty interesting. And I actually knew some people worked in the shell ventures operation. And I think if they'd had that when I was still there and had an opportunity to go over there, that might have been a pretty interesting thing, because basically, shell would let some of their executives work on some of the startup company ideas. And I think that was a pretty creative approach. Shell also went through some major changes. It used to be there was shell, USA, and shell, Dutch Shell, that parent company, and then they kind of liquidated shell USA and created like Shell global or something like that. So the company did go through some changes, but that was after I left and gone to the technical Oil Company. Technical Oil Company was one of the big conglomerates at the time when conglomerates were sexy. Of course, ITT was the most famous one, Harold Geneen. But tenneco was a very successful adult, primarily, the money originally came from the oil and gas industry following World War Two. But unfortunately, while I was there, the company kind of self destructed. And one of the reasons why I decided to set out in private practice was I could see that the tentacle was on the way out. So organization, and I felt it's better to get out there and do my thing. And, and that was a very interesting and enjoyable period. And you know, as I tell people, and I left corporate, and went out, hung out my shingle, and I did that, and never missed a mortgage payment. But, again, similar to starting my business in college, it was certainly not an easy path.   Michael Hingson  43:01 What did what did you do? What kind of law did you practice once you went out on your own?   Dr.David Schein  43:05 I have always been a small business representative. And my main focus is employment law. So I do a lot of business contracts, and I do lots of employment law. And when I was corporate, that was my responsibility. I was a human resource representative. I worked in industrial relations, which is working with unions when I was at Shell Oil. And then when I went to tenneco, I worked with unions and I also did a lot of retail employment law, technical at the time was operating about 500 large cell service gas stations in the south in the southeast, and I handled a bout 1500 EEOC complaints over a five year period, that's a pretty good volume.   Michael Hingson  43:58 Well, somewhere along the line, you got involved in some way or another and Equal Employment and Disability Law and so on. I gather   Dr.David Schein  44:08 that is correct. When I was at tenneco, I was I got involved with the Texas Commission on employment of the handicap, which of course, we use the term disabled today. But Texas was actually ahead of the fence because this was in the 80s, the Texas law related back to the 70s. And so I did have an opportunity to work with a fellow named Bill Hale who headed up that commission for the state of Texas and was also kind of on the ground floor when President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. And then that was phased into effect between 90 and 94. So I was one of the early people understand it because it has a lot of the features that the state law passed. And you know, I'm very active advocate for employment of the disabled. As recently as yesterday, when I was teaching business law, I was talking with my students about the, the, you know, importance of consideration of how reasonable accommodation works under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and how the important thing is to take a look at people for what they can do, not what they can't do.   Michael Hingson  45:26 Yeah, and of course, today, we would probably even call it the commission for the disabled, rather commission for persons with disabilities, because we really, the words do matter. And yes, saying I'm disabled, because I happen to be blind, should really be no different than saying you're disabled, because you happen to be able to see and without lights, you don't have a lick of probability of being able to travel around. But you know, we, we all have our challenges. And we also all have our gifts. So I appreciate persons with disabilities as opposed to other things. One of the I had a discussion with someone this morning, who was talking about the fact that I'm visually impaired, and I said, I don't think so. Again, words matter, because I said, Why do you say I'm visually impaired? Do I look different? Simply because I'm blind? Is my whole appearance change visually? Because I'm blind? Yeah, I don't like vision impaired because I think I have lots of vision, as I love to tell people I just don't see so good. But I say and vision are enough synonymous that vision impaired is something I could tolerate, although I think that either I'm sight impaired, or you're blind, impaired. And you know, one way or the other. We we work that out. But disability is a term that has to become different than what people have believed in and decided that it is because the reality is, having a so called disability has taught me that everyone has a disability, and why should I be different than anyone else, just because I'm in a minority. And of course, that's a real problem, right? I happen to be in a minority. And the result is that people who are not tend to think, because we're taught that way that we're better.   Dr.David Schein  47:23 Well, I think, obviously, might be made some very, very good points there. And as a person who does management, training, for EEO sensitivity, and things like that, I emphasize the fact that there's so many opportunities in life. And it's interesting what you say, I have very good daytime vision. But I have large eyes. But I didn't really realize they don't look that big to me. But I have large pupils, which means that in light, I have to protect my eyes from too much light. And in the dark, I have extreme trouble seeing in the dark. So I'm one of those people that when I walk into a room late in the afternoon, or in the evening, the first thing I do is run for lights and turn all the lights off. Because that way I don't trip and fall over something and I actually clear paths so that I'm able to function if if I don't turn the lights on, and I decide to, you know, get up before daylight or something like that. So yeah, all of us have to make adjustments for whatever is unique about us. And probably a better word is saying what are your unique qualities and qualifications versus saying what are your disabilities?   Michael Hingson  48:47 And I think that's an absolutely valid point. And one I wish more people would would recognize, how do you think the Americans with Disabilities Act? Looking back on it now? Because it's been 31 years since it was signed? Yes. How do you how do you feel that it is really changed? Well, our our whole outlook on people with minorities such as I have, or have we really mentally changed all that much.   Dr.David Schein  49:24 You know, I don't think we've changed it. First of all, I think the Act has helped. That's, that's number one. I think it's a positive in itself. I think there's a couple of major issues with it. One of them is that my experience, which is extensive, I've handled over 2000 EEOC complaints at this point, again, a very high volume when I was working with retail gasoline stations, is that the least competent federal agency I've dealt with which is really saying something when you consider how incompetent So many of the federal agencies are is, is EEOC, and in my experience with them has been that they're there, they're not serving the public interest, sadly, and they're not well run, and they, they don't train their people well. And I think if you're going to have a dis, you know, a division that helps people with discrimination, that it ought to be a lot more effective that it should be number one focused on education before everything else. And I don't see them doing much of that. Number two, what's happening throughout the United States with the EEOC is they are flooded with complaints, they are flooded. And what the EEOC needs to do is they need to put a tough person in charge at each office, who, who sells people to get a life and show up for work and do your damn job. And pick out the cases that require attention that really should have attention. Because by trying take every case that comes in the door, they end up not giving good service to the people who are legitimately discriminated against, which is a fairly small percentage of the population, by the way. And they're, they're not, they're not getting anybody's job done. So I'd like to see them run a lot better than the alr. And I don't have a magic wand for that. But that's part of what I'm seeing, again, as somebody who's had a lot of work with the the see. But in terms of education, I think that we have done a better job of sensitizing our population, particularly our younger population, to the realities of we're all different. And I think part of making people more sensitive to what color people are protection of LGBT, and things like that, that if you know, as developing a more accepting population, and frankly, a better educated population. And Michael, you touched on some key points of that is that you, you have certain positives and attributes that you use to be an effective person. And that's what we need to focus on is what are the pieces that somebody can do that makes them effective. And what I talked with my students about just yesterday is to if you there used to be if somebody would would come in to a employment application. And when we used to have paper applications, almost everybody courses using online today, but a person in wheelchair would roll into an office and say to the person at the front desk, I'd like an employment application. And the person that front desk would say, Well, sir, you're in wheelchair, you know, we're not going to give you a we're not going to give you an employment application, because your wheelchair and the Americans Disability Act, of course, you know, interfered with that took a while for employers to figure that out. But to avoid that knee jerk reaction that this person can't do the job, let's focus on what they can do. And when somebody gets hurt at work and can't do the job they could previously do. That doesn't mean you just dump them on the street, it means that you make reasonable accommodation, and you try to see the best way to put that person to work. Do they have other skills, they may not be able to drive a truck or do certain mechanical things anymore? But are they capable of being a dispatcher or bookkeeping or sales calls? Is there someplace else that that person can be valuable to your company?   Michael Hingson  53:47 One of my favorite speeches that I deliver is called moving from diversity to inclusion is actually part mostly the second episode and unstoppable mindset. And one of the things that I talk about in there is how people deal with disabilities. And I actually play a segment from a television show called What would you do that John, Ken Jonas and IB, Elan ABC does, and this particular episode had? Well, the premise of the show is they get actors to play different roles. And they do it to see how people will react to uncomfortable situations. So they had in this case, two women from the Rochester Institute for the Deaf, they were deaf, and they go into this coffee shop where there's a guy behind the counter who happened to be an actor, a a barista, and there's a sign out that they're looking for employees. And so one of them goes up and says, I want to apply for a job and the guy goes, well, what what can you do? And she says, Well, you have a kitchen job available here and he said Yeah, but you can't do that you're deaf. And she and by the way, this is only in the last 12 or 13 years. So it's way post ADA. Yeah. And she says, well, but it's a kitchen job, I'm not really being out here I would be in the kitchen. Well, but what if I need something immediately? And she's, well, you could, you could write it down Well, I don't might not have the time to write it down. You're just not someone that I could hire. And the whole point is to see how people who over here this react and so part of the, the show, and they record it all, of course, part of the show had three HR people come up to this barista not knowing that he's just an actor, and say, Look, you handled that all wrong. These people have more rights than we do, this is all recorded, these people have more rights than we do, you should have just taken the application written not a fit, and filed it and sent them on their way.   Dr.David Schein  56:01 Oh, my goodness.   Michael Hingson  56:03  And some, some others really hit the roof about what this barista guy was doing. And of course, they they intercept everyone and tell them what's really going on somewhere on the line. But, but we really have still a very long way to go in terms of how we, we deal with so called disabilities. And it's in part because of that show that I came up with this whole concept. And in reality, we all have disabilities, most of you are like dependent, and we love you anyway. But, you know, the, the fact is that we shouldn't be judging what someone's abilities are or aren't. And it's, it's so unfortunate that we do well, it   Dr.David Schein  56:44 this is a, you've raised an important example. And as I indicated, that is the classic that I try and untrained people from, if you will, to have that knee jerk reaction, it's like, let's focus on what this person can do. And unfortunately, because of decades and decades of discrimination against people with disabilities, you have a very interesting situation out there, where when a person has been accommodated, and does get a position where the company has reached out and said, let's see how we can get afford this person opportunity. A lot of times they tend to be great employees, and tend to have be very loyal to the companies that are more accepting and inclusive. And so it's, it's, you know, it's a win win for the situation.   Michael Hingson  57:39 Sure. How did you get into education, college education, and so on from law?   57:47 Well, I had decided that as I left law school, that about the 25 year marker, that I would move into education, it's just something I felt that that was an appropriate, you know, career path for me. So I did a, you know, a decade corporate and about 12 years in private practice full time. And then when my last kid left for college, I said, you know, it's time for me to do something. And I had been adjunct teaching very actively. And what happened was, is I realized that with even though I had a law degree in an MBA, I was very well qualified, that without a PhD, I would not be successful and competing for tenure. And if you're not a tenured professor, you know, that's kind of the gold standard in higher ed. And so I went back to the University of Virginia where I'd got my MBA, and I worked on my PhD full time. And it was quite an eye opener. And I know we're running out of time, I'll just say very quickly. The MBA PhD program went very, very well for me, I did quite well like finished program a year ahead of my cohort, because I was so focused and went year round and so forth, managed to continue to work with my clients here in Houston, to you know, least keep keep the bills paid. But unfortunately, when I finished my PhD, it took me two years to get my first full time appointment. And the discrimination that I faced as a person who got their PhD in the mid 50s, H mid 50s. Whereas the traditional and this touches on classic discrimination. The traditional PhDs are in their mid 30s. So I was 20 years older than the normal quotation marks PhD recipient, and it's been a bit of a struggle, so I'm very appreciative of the universities that did afforded me a full time teaching opportunity. And once I got into the track, I progressed from a visiting Peru Professor to a full professor to tenure, endowed chair, but I had to have that opportunity in the first place.   Michael Hingson  1:00:08 So in addition to all of that you mentioned earlier that you like to write even when you were young, what's writing done for you, in all of your experiences?   Dr.David Schein  1:00:23 Well, you cannot get a PhD. If you're not a writer, you cannot be a successful attorney without being a writer. And you cannot be an author unless you sit down in your write. And so one of the things that PhD did for me is it gave me the understanding of doing deep research and things like that. And that enabled me to write decline of America 100 years of leadership failures, which was released by postale press on Presidents Day 2018. And then my newer book, a bad deal for America, was released on Presidents Day 2022. And I'm hoping not to have a four year gap between that and my next book, but I am working on as we talked about briefly on a musical review, called novel T, the letter T. And it is a musical review of novelty songs from the 50s through the 70s and 80s, when there were variety of novelty songs that became gets on the radio. So that's a throwback to my days of doing the arts Menagerie.   Michael Hingson  1:01:30 Flying purple people eater was Shep willing, I would assume   Dr.David Schein  1:01:34 you are very good. That is definitely in the list. And I'll have to go back. And look I have one of my research assistants has been talking to the different publishing houses to make sure that we have the rights to to present that. So the review focuses on the music. There's not a lot of text in between. But we actually through doing podcasts to promote my current book, met a gentleman, Douglas Coleman, and Douglas has a podcasting show. And he has actually written a theme song for the new musical. And that's very close to being ready.   Michael Hingson  1:02:16 That sounds like a lot of fun.   Dr.David Schein  1:02:19 That's the plan. It's designed to be family friendly.   Michael Hingson  1:02:22 It should be that would be a good thing. Well, how do people get ahold of you reach out to you learn about you and your books and so on, as well. You've been an unstoppable guy. There's no question about things. And you're driven.   Dr.David Schein  1:02:39 I'm still working on it, Michael. It's, it's a it's a work in progress. And my consulting firm is called Clermont management group. So we're Wide Web Claremont management group.com. I am on Facebook. I'm on LinkedIn, Twitter, Geter, and I'm trying to remember some others. But I'm pretty easy to find and of course of both of my books, bad deal for America and decline of America are on Amazon.   Michael Hingson  1:03:08 So is there a specific email address or LinkedIn address or anything that people should?   Dr.David Schein  1:03:14 It's D shine and you know, about the only hard part is my last name is s ch, e i n, it's, it's spelling. You know, the EI is announced sign for the German spelling. But other than that, if people can put in David de shine, and it'll probably pop up several places. I think Amazon is got enough market power that that tends to pop up first.   Michael Hingson  1:03:40 Right? Well, David, thank you very much. This has been fun. And as I told you, initially, and I say, on the podcast, one of the reasons for doing this is to tell stories that will inspire people. And I've got one last question I've got to ask, what would you advise both for young people today and parents today, having grown up in a time when information wasn't so readily available, or self-gratification wasn't so readily available? Now, both of those kinds of things have changed and everyone wants everything immediately? How would you advise people, kids and adults?   Dr.David Schein  1:04:23 Well, I think it's extremely important to mirror what my parents did, which is that the focus of childhood should be on education and a solid three Rs education. Even though I'm a business professor. I encouraged stem and I'd like to see us get as many children motivated for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math stem as possible in the United States because we are trailing other countries, and I would encourage parents to be involved in their children's education. Trying to make sure that the children are getting a real education and not a bunch of political malarkey is let's focus on the three R's. And let the students when they get a little bit older, figure out how they want to move in life in terms of politics, and you know, those kinds of things. And everybody can get through college, again, this student loan dismissal stuff, clouds, the fact that there are plenty of scholarship opportunities. There are financial loans out there. The school that I teach at, we have 92% of our undergraduates on financial aid, many of that is grants, that doesn't mean loans. I mean, that's money, they don't have to pay back. And so if students do well in high school, and they perform well, there are opportunities for them. And again, I'm living proof that if you if you've put in the time, and you do it, it can be I was successful as a corporate person and successful in private practice and successful in higher ed. But it came with putting in that time, and having that good parental support at home at the critical period when I needed a   Michael Hingson  1:06:12 course, if we're going to be totally technical. And this was even a Jeopardy question recently, out of the three R's. There's only one that's really an art. And that's the reading because writing isn't an art and arithmetic doesn't start with. You are absolutely correct.   Dr.David Schein  1:06:31 I wasn't a very good speller when I was in grammar school, and the nuns used to really take me to task I think spelling used to be a separate grade when I was in grammar school with the nuns. And I flunked several years in a row and you say, well, let's get this straight. You are a young high school graduate, you've just graduated before you turned 80. How the heck did you get through flunking all those courses, and it was very straightforward. My mother was the secretary for the church operation down the street. And the nuns knew that Dave shine sometimes flunked spelling, and cursive writing, but he was a pretty smart kid, and his mom was right there with him. And so they passed me, you know, probably fourth, fifth and sixth grade. But what happened was, is when I got to that point where the light switch went on, and I said, Gosh, I can really do this, I had a very successful seventh and eighth grade, and then a very successful high school experience, because I did absorb that even if I didn't show it on my report card.   Michael Hingson  1:07:38 And then you went on from there. Well, David Schilling, thanks for being here. We really enjoyed it. And I hope it inspires parents and kids and and I hope it inspires people to reach out to you.   Dr.David Schein  1:07:54 Well, I'm delighted to do it, Michael, it's been an absolute pleasure to meet you and my folks of work with your folks to see about having you make an appearance on saving America   Michael Hingson  1:08:05 would love to do it.

A matéria “Marijuana: assassina de jovens”, foi publicada na revista American Magazine no ano de 1937. E ela começava com uma história completamente inventada: “O corpo esmagado da menina jazia espalhado na calçada um dia depois de mergulhar do quinto andar de um prédio de apartamentos em Chicago. Todos disseram que ela tinha se suicidado, mas, na verdade, foi homicídio. O assassino foi um narcótico conhecido na América como marijuana e na história como haxixe. Usado na forma de cigarros, ele é uma novidade nos Estados Unidos e é tão perigoso quanto uma cascavel.” O autor do texto era Harry Anslinger, provavelmente o homem que mais tem mérito (ou demérito) para que a maconha fosse criminalizada não só nos EUA como em praticamente o mundo todo. Tudo começa em 1920 com a Lei Seca. Durante aqueles terríveis anos onde o álcool era proibido, os estadunidenses tentaram relaxar de outro jeito: com a maconha. A planta era consumida normalmente por pessoas marginalizadas pela sociedade, como imigrantes mexicanos e árabes. De acordo com o historiador inglês Richard Davenport-Hines: “A proibição do álcool foi o estopim para o ‘boom' da maconha. Na medida em que ficou mais difícil obter bebidas alcoólicas e elas ficaram mais caras e piores, pequenos cafés que vendiam maconha começaram a proliferar”. Mas a planta era usada em dezenas de remédios como xaropes para tosse a pílulas para dormir. O efeito relaxante da cannabis era utilizado frequentemente. Mas uma coisa fez com que a proibição entrasse em jogo: o cânhamo. Quase toda a produção de papel da época usava como matéria-prima a fibra do cânhamo, retirada do caule do pé de maconha. O cânhamo também era usado para confecção de cordas, velas de barco, redes de pesca e outros produtos que exigissem um material muito resistente. Até a Ford estava trabalhando para a criação de combustíveis e plásticos feitos a partir do óleo da semente de maconha. Plantações de maconha rondavam os EUA e a Europa. Acontece que o Harry Anslinger era parente de Andrew Mellon, dono da gigante petrolífera Gulf Oil, com seu principal investidor a petrolífera Du Pont. A Du Pont estava usando petróleo para a criação de aditivos para combustíveis, plásticos, fibras sintéticas como o náilon e processos químicos para a fabricação de papel feito de madeira. Todos esses produtos disputavam o mercado com o cânhamo. De acordo com o escritor o escritor Jack Herer: “A Du Pont foi uma das maiores responsáveis por orquestrar a destruição da indústria do cânhamo”. Para atacar o cânhamo, atacou-se a maconha.

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.  In this episode, Lisa speaks with Joya Williams, who has had a front row seat to some of the most fascinating moments in recent ethics and compliance history at Enron and again with the Gulf Oil spill in 2016. After seeing the fallout from Enron in 2001, and working in ethics and compliance immediately thereafter, she saw the impact and need for that work. That has guided her professional life.  Joya talks about her experiences and how she has built a network for herself and others by building the Greater Houston Business and Ethics Roundtable and working with Smith Texas College to build a compliance program. As this is the last week of Black History Month, it was important to recognize the work of someone like Joya, who embodies a GWIC in how she gives back to her community - local, professional and educational. She also talks about the importance of increasing the number of Black Chief Compliance Officer roles and to increase diversity in the ethics and compliance space and ends the interview with a wonderful quote from Shirley Chisholm. You can subscribe to the Great Women in Compliance podcast on any podcast player by searching for it and we welcome new subscribers to our podcast.

Dr. David Fisher, World War II Army veteran and lifelong educator, joined Jan Swift of Discover Lafayette, to discuss his storied life and the many adventures he has enjoyed in his 94 years. We salute this hero among us who on October 2, 1945, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his extraordinary service in the Pacific Theatre. Well-known for his lifelong dedication to education, he and his family are the proprietors of Fisher Early Childhood Education Centers in Lafayette While his birthplace, the community of Evangeline, is no longer on the map, he recalled a happy childhood in the town that was the first site of the drilling of an oil well in Louisiana. For the story of that first oil discovery and commercial well drilled in Louisiana in 1901, visit http://www.energyglobalnews.com/jennings-oilfield-the-birthplace-of-louisianas-oil-industry-in-1901/.) Born in 1925, his grandfather and father worked for Gulf Oil, and the town was full of shallow oil wells. Dr. Fisher remembers learning how to swim with the other kids in the salt dome tanks filled with the water diverted from the wells as drilling occurred. It was a time for simple pleasures. But his life would change at the age of 10 when his mother died from double pneumonia. The family moved to the "big town of Jennings" nearby soon thereafter and he lived with his grandparents. David Fisher in 1927 After graduating from Jennings High School in 1943, Dr. Fisher joined the Army when he turned 18 and he trained to be a radio operator. He was placed on a B-29 crew and stationed in Guam, flying 22 missions over Japan. It is not common knowledge that WWII didn't end with the dropping of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When Japanese Emperor Hirohito refused to unconditionally surrender to the Allied Forces, the Last Combat Mission was flown on the evening of August 14, 1945. Dr. Fisher's crew was on one of the B-29's that strategically targeted the bombing of transportation centers and factories in Japan in this last effort to end the war. When their plane ran short on fuel on the return to Guam, they were forced to land in Iwo Jima, and that is where Dr. Fisher and crew learned on August 15, 1945, that the Japanese had finally surrendered. Happy to see the war successfully completed, Dr. Fisher was honorably discharged on November 22, 1945. He returned to Louisiana and enrolled at SLI (Southwestern Louisiana Institute) at the age of 20 in the Spring of 1946, and happily recalls how he met his future wife, Shirley, when "she was in her last semester and he was in his first." David Fisher and Shirley Rhodes Fisher during their college days.SLI Football Team Captain David Fisher in the 1940s.Shirley Rhodes and David Fisher at SLI Homecoming 1946. Although he had never seen a college football game before he attended SLI, Dr. Fisher had a "successful athletic career" as he put it, and served as Captain of the football team. He was the youngest person on the team, as most of the players had served longer than him during WWII and were in their middle 20's and older. He also excelled in track, served as Co-Captain of the team, and tried out for the Olympics. As one of the youngest players, he recalls he was also one of the youngest in his air crew while serving during the war. Fisher's athletic prowess was noticed by the pros, and he was drafted by the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Colts but declined, as he was more interested in returning home to Jennings where he had accepted a job as Assistant Coach at Jennings High. Dr. Fisher noted that at that time, professional football players weren't as highly compensated as they are now and he has never looked back on that chapter of his life. He was ready to marry Shirley Rhodes and begin their life together. David and Shirley Fisher on their wedding day in 1950. They were married for 64 years, until her death in 2015. Shirley and David Fisher enjoyed a happy life during the 1950s an...

Chaired by David McGoldrick, Chief People Officer for Comfort Keepers, the discussion brought together perspectives from Asif Iqbal, Vice President of HR for Gulf Oil, Melanie Lepine, Group Head of Learning, Development & Talent from Domestic & General, Ben Almond, SVP and Global Head of Property from Pearson, Simi Dubb, Group Head of Talent, Development and Inclusion at British American Tobacco and Tim Rose, Global Head of Facilities for Elekta, to share their insights on "How to create a productive working culture for a varying workforce in the current climate."

Leadership is not a rank or a position, but an attribute to the position, where age, gender or any other criteria have little to do with leadership. In this insightful podcast with Anita Chhabria, Deputy General Manager, International HR at Gulf Oil, we explore why leadership is gender agnostic and how the world is slowly moving away from gender and towards capability when it comes to defining a leader. Anita has over a decade of comprehensive human resources experience across diverse industries. She handles a global portfolio in Organizational Development, leads the Learning & Development practice and runs the communication and employee engagement initiatives for Gulf Oil India.

Show Highlights: To grow, you have to find a new, big need that no one else has found. That's the challenge for entrepreneurs. —Steve HoffmanThere are a lot of smart people out there, but they're not all designed to be entrepreneurs. You need three qualities to be a CEO: curiosity, leadership, and stamina. —Steve HoffmanThe biggest challenge in founding a startup is when the market turns against you. —Steve HoffmanThe key is not to dwell on your failures or ignore your failures. Look at what you learned and then move on. —Steve HoffmanWhen a crisis hits, you have to figure out how much cash you have before you run out and you have to figure out a plan to get to the other side. —Steve HoffmanUse your downtime to innovate. —Steve HoffmanYou don't have to have a billion-dollar idea to innovate. Many of the best innovations start small. —Steve HoffmanInnovating is about trying something and seeing if you can do it better to generate more demand. —Steve Hoffman Steve's final thoughts: It doesn't matter what type of business you're in, you can always innovate.

The Battle to Compensate Ground Zero First RespondersGuest: Bill Groner, founder &CEO, SSAM Alternative Dispute Resolution, co-author “9/12: The Epic Battle of the Ground Zero Responders”When the World Trade Center's Twin Towers fell to terrorists on September 11, 2001, an army of first responders rushed to Ground Zero. First it was a rescue effort. But for months and months after that –well into the following year –thousands of people worked in and around Ground Zero and at the landfill where debris was dumped and sorted. Construction workers, coroners, fire and police officers. All breathing dust that we now know contained toxic chemicals. In the years that followed, many would develop serious lung illnesses –and even cancers. Finding fake volcanoes and dealing with the real onesGuest: Janine Krippner, PhD., Volcanologist at the Smithsonian Institute Volvanologist Program and host of the Popular Volcanics podcastThere are fewer volcanoes today than there were just a few weeks ago thanks to people like volcanologist Janine Krippner.

Some projections estimate that by 2030, one third of prisoners will be age 55 and up. As those inmates get older, many will get sick and some will die in prison. Not only does that mean more taxpayer dollars to take care of them, but it also creates a moral dilemma: do you let someone die alone behind bars? President Trump Says Deal with Taliban is Dead. What Next?Guest: Michael Kugelman, Deputy Director and Senior Associate for South Asia, Wilson Center in Washington, DCIt's been 18 years since Al Qaeda's terrorist attacks on US soil. And 18 years since the US struck back in Afghanistan, where the Taliban was giving safe haven to Al Qaeda. That's now America's longest war. But a peace deal between the US and the Taliban had been close at hand. Imminent, we were told. And American troops would be coming home soon. But now? “(The talks) are dead, as far as I'm concerned they're dead,” said President Trump on Monday. “(The Taliban) thought they had to kill people in order to put themselves in a little better negotiating position. When they did that they killed 12 people. One happened to be a great American soldier.” Kenneth Feinberg on Deciding What a Life is WorthGuest: Kenneth Feinberg, Former Special Master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, Author of “What Is Life Worth?” And “Who Gets What?”2,977 people died when terrorists hijacked commercial airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. More than 6,000 others were injured. Just eleven days after the attacks, Congress created a $7 billion fund to compensate those victims and their families. The man tasked with deciding who would get what –how much each life was worth in dollars and cents –was Kenneth Feinberg. Since then, he's overseen victim compensation funds for mass shootings in Aurora, Newtown, Orlando and Las Vegas and for the Boston Marathon Bombing. BP hired him to award compensation to victims of the Gulf Oil spill. He's now handling compensation for victims of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and for the families of people who died in the Boeing 737 plane crashes.
