Were you surprised last week by the breaking news that pharmaceutical drugs have been found in drinking water?
I remember asking a few months ago, Do You Know What is in Your Water, Is Your Water Safe? Needless to say… I was neither shocked or surprised by the news. I was disgusted and disgusted for several reasons:
#1 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has known about drugs in the water supply since 1976. It just took 32 years for this information to be made public via news outlets… Pharmaceuticals in drinking water is actually old news not breaking news!
#2 What goes into the body must come out of the body. When drugs are processed by the body they are often unaltered or slightly altered. This means when drugs are eliminated from the body they still have the same or similar properties and affects. Consequently, pharmaceutical companies are in violation the Refuse Act of 1899 and are forcing the public to participate in their heinous crimes.
#3 Whatever goes down the drains of our sinks, showers, bathtubs, and toilets goes through waste water treatment processing, however, the Environmental Protection Agency acknowledges that there is no system in place to remove drugs during the sewage treatment process!
#4 Most people take pharmaceutical drugs with water… which means they are unknowingly mixing drugs!
#5 The War on Drugs is a scam. The highest paid most psychopathic drug dealers are allowed to taint the water supply, bombard the public with advertisements, and underhandedly create a customer base!
If you can’t tell…I’m upset. When we turn on television we have to sit through commercial after commercial urging us to ask our doctor for magic pills that may cause headache, constipation, chest pain, memory loss, blindness, and/or sudden death. These ads are every where… online, in magazines, on the sides of buses, in elevators, on billboards….every where we go there is an ad for some type of drug.
Now they tell us, ‘oh by the way, some of these drugs may actually be in the water you drink, bathe in, and/or wash your clothes/dishes in.’
I don’t care what they say, I believe that the drugs in the water supply are there on purpose (intentionally) and for a purpose.

You don’t grow up in Compton and not know the game!
Think about it, our bodies are 60% water. We need water to live. It has been in grained in our heads to drink 8 cups of water every day. By allowing the water supply to be tainted with pharmaceutical drugs, the legal drug industry has an ever growing population of sick people. Healthy people do not need drugs! If everyone in the world was healthy we wouldn’t need pharmaceutical drugs.
Back in the day, I got an A+ in economics. I understand supply and demand very well. As an entrepreneur I also understand the importance of high demand and what corporate responsibility really means. The corporations responsibility is to make profits for its share holders.
Who benefits from the water supply being spiked with drugs? Who suffers? If the water supply has drugs in it, how does that affect the food supply? Fruits, vegetables, animals, and fish need water too. What about the environment? Aside from the drugs…what else is in the water?
To Be Continued…
Water is crucial to life. It’s alarming that we’re drinking contaminated water and is just waiting for its effects in the years to come.
Yeah, that’s so alarming! So each of us should make sure that we are drinking safe water or else we will suffer and get sick.
The problem of mixing of drugs in drinking water can be hazardous and can cause several infectious diseases.prolong consumption of adulterated water can even cause death.
“What else is in the water?” you ask? After this breaking news about the drugs in the water supply, I don’t think I’d be surprised what other miscellaneous chemicals are swimming around our drinking water.
First of all, buy water in bottles for drinking.
And second, try to avoid prescription drugs.
Better use herbals.
This is my suggestion!
The EPA is revising the area source category list by changing the name of “Secondary Aluminum Production” category to “Aluminum Foundries.” At the same time, EPA is proposing national emission standards for the Aluminum Foundries, Copper Foundries, and Other Nonferrous Foundries area source categories.

Revision of Source Category List for Standards Under Section 112(k) of the Clean Air Act; National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Area Source Standards for Aluminum, Copper, and Other Nonferrous Foundries
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

These proposed emission standards for new and existing sources reflect EPA's proposed determination regarding the generally available control technology or management practices for each area source category.

In many areas tap water is already TOO purified, all necessary minerals stripped below WHO recommended levels.
Today it is necessary, a sad necessity indeed, to filter all water that comes into our homes to protect us. Drugs in the water are not our only concern and the water we drink is not the only way it gets into us. Our skin absorbs everything it is in contact with and our children's baths that can last 30 to 40 minutes put them at risk too!
Whole house water filters with a multi-level filtration process can take out the harmful contaminants in our water.
I only drink spring water but who knows whats in it. I wish I had my own well but I live in NYC
wow this is interesting im usually just a fan of bottled water but food for thought here. i can belive out tap water is stripped of essential minerals ..
If these things are indeed true. Then this is a challenge for water filter manufacturers to come up with the best filters to be able to give consumers a safer alternative. For now, all we could do is hope the EPA could find a way to treat our tap free from any harmful substance.
