When your doctor asks, “What Medications are you Taking,” Do You Truly Know? by Lena Sanchez

When your doctor asks, "What Medications are you Taking,"

Do You Truly Know?

© By Lena Sanchez

What if you don't need heart medication and you are

getting it anyway? How about blood pressure medication,

maybe birth control? Think about the consequences!

If you are drinking or bathing in tap water you may be

getting prescriptions prescribed for someone else and

you won't ever know it! The pharmacist isn't messing up

nor your doctor, read on and see what prescriptions you are

really taking!

If you are having health problems and drinking or bathing in

Tap water, could good old water be the culprit? May be!

A 2000 U.S. government analysis showed the nation's

waterways are awash in chemicals used in beauty aids,

medications, cleaners, and foods. Among the substances

found were caffeine, contraceptives, painkillers, insect

repellent, perfumes, and nicotine. How much? All they know

for sure it's unacceptable levels! That was 2 one-half years

ago and more have been added since?

Scientists say the problem is that these substances largely

escape regulation and defy municipal wastewater treatment

facilities. All the long-term effects of exposure are still unclear

and there are not many studies being done to find out. The

few studies that have been published are not good news!

Compounds of all kinds, and more being added daily, are

sold on supermarket shelves and found in virtually every

medicine cabinet and broom closet as well as at farms

and factories. And they are flushed or rinsed down the

drain every day. But they do not disappear or break up,

researchers warns.

Having worked in medical offices for twenty plus years I can

attest that this does happen... We were taught to flush

outdated medications down the toilet. We all assume our

government local, federal and state will have something to

clean our water. Boy what ostriches we are sticking our

heads in the sand. I can only regret my actions that

contributed to this problem and will absolutely never do

it again...

Look at all the medical offices and the thousands and millions

of outdated medications, in each office, dumped into your tap

water? Not a pretty thought!

This is the first generation to be raised with such horrendous

chemical dangers and we still do not know the whole affect

that is being put upon us. My grandmother always said, "Better

to be safe than sorry." I thought she was just old but you know

she was smarter than I gave her credit for. Now it's my turn to

pass on the wisdom gained by age. But at least I have lived to

age because my childhood was free of the poisons that my

children and grandchildren have been and are subjected to

daily!

Are you and everyone in your family going to be so lucky?

Not unless you watch what goes into and on your body!

What some say is good for us isn't!

A study, from the Journal of Brain Research Vol. 784, 1998,

indicates that low levels of fluoride in the drinking water of

animals - equal to the amount of fluoride found in fluorinated

water systems- causes damage to brain tissue, similar to the

pathological changes found in humans with Alzheimer¹s
