If I've just listened to everything you've just said there, and I want to improve my oral microbiome, what should I be doing?

Well, I think the most important thing we've learned is what you shouldn't be doing.

Yeah.

So it's not what should we do, it's what we shouldn't be doing.

Number one, we have to get rid of fluoride.

You know, just this past weekend I was speaking at a dental conference in Salt Lake City,

and there were people there from the National Toxicology Program,

which in the U.S. is the organization tasked with,

if there's any kind of risk of exposure of environmental toxicant,

they're charged with doing the toxicology studies to see if there's an

increased risk. What is the risk? And is there a safe level that is without risk? And what they

report is that fluoride, there's no benefit of fluoride, and it's all risk. It lowers IQ in kids

by as much as seven points. And it shuts down your thyroid function. And it's a neurotoxin.

And as I mentioned before, most toothpaste has fluoride in it. And if you read the back of your

toothpaste, it will tell you, at least in the U.S., I don't know about it in other countries,

but it says if you swallow this, call poison control.

Because it's a poison.

They're putting poison in toothpaste.

And then if you also pay attention, it says, only put a pea-size amount of toothpaste on your toothbrush, a pea-size.

But everybody that I know fills the entire bristle of the toothpaste with toothbrush with toothpaste. So that's about 10 or 15,

sometimes 20, pea size amounts of toothpaste. And a pea size amount of toothpaste contains about

half a milligram of fluoride. Now, if you're using 10, 20 times more than that pea size,
