I really need to stop reading the news. I was perusing an article on cnn.com about the amount of prescription medication in our drinking water and became ill. No, seriously my stomach started hurting. It talked about how when people take medicine and go to the restroom some of the medicine is passed through the system and into the water where it is later recycled at treatment plants to be used as drinking water. That article had me thinking....could the increase in early menstruation in young girls be caused by this or even the increase in heart diseases (not the ones you get from eating McDonalds, but the bacterial ones)? Seriously just how much recycled medication does it take to have a serious affect on people.
The federal government does not require testing on drinking water or even established limits for safety for it. So how can we be sure that it does or does not have an affect on our mood swings, the changes our bodies go through, the many unknown or even uncurable cancers plaguing our existence.
Worse yet...could the use of drinking water when one is already taking prescription medication for mood disorders aid in pushing those individuals over the edge. Think about it...what if the guy who shot people at NIU had a bad interaction from drinking water and prescription medication?
No I'm not saying that he or even we can drink one cup and go nuts but long term exposure to it, who's to say. They claim it is minute levels, but minute adds up if it is everyday for the past 25 years. Who's to say that we all won't get a little nuts? There has been an increase in violent behavior from children, teens, and young adults for some time now and we all have many uses for water. We bathe in it, we drink it, we cook ramen noodles in it, we do almost everything in it. Other companies even use it to create the sodas we love, the microwavable foods, etc.
Overall, this just sucks and I'm so staying off cnn for like two days. I'm telling you soon enough they will be telling us the fish have gotten up and are walking around.
I am a firm believer in government conspiracy and feel as though the government tries to control the population. But there are recorded data of the government actually causing illnesses. Soliders in the Gulf war had a lot of werid symptoms when they came home and gave them to their families. They received shots while they were serving in the war that were later found by scientist to be the cause of their symptoms. A scientist group ( a wife and husband) came up with a vaccine that was a cure. I'm not saying the government is purposly not screening the water but they may be taking time to do other things like I mentioned. maybe the water could be the cause of some of the things we are seeing now. But maybe it could be something deeper.
I know that we need to keep up with the new to know our current events but sometimes it is so depressing. I pretty much focus on the weather. I know it sounds bad but I get tired of hearing more children died or someone was shot etc..... Really great post!
All I've heard from more reliable news sources than those just trying to get a rise out of people is that the medications in the water aren't enough to cause any problems right now.
Sorry, I think your fish are gonna go Dory and keep on swimmin'.

Ah, but you said it yourself..."any problems right now." What about the amounts in the water from twenty five years ago and the health problem in the 20-30yr olds now that can not be explained? Or even the generations in the future?
The human body takes and processes things the way it wants and no matter how little of anything that they are saying is there, does not mean that our bodies aren't taking the stuff into consideration and doing things we have no clue about.
You should stop eating, then, too. Or not... maybe all that extra stuff they put in things (even things they claim to be organic) isn't causing those "unexplained health problems."
You should also stop breathing, because the air is filled with chemicals you'll never even hear of that are damaging your body with every singly breath.
You should also stop wearing certain fabrics and using certain things on your clothes, because those things are damaging to your skin.
Don't use lotions, soaps, shampoos, or deodorants, because those things get washed down with the shower and you're drinking them from your tap water right now.
Give me a break. How can we explain the unexplained health problems? We can't, because there are thousands of things (not even including this bull about medicine in the drinking water from our piss) that are causing them.
The pharmaceutical companies aren't to blame. We are, with our greed, our gluttony, and our vanity.

Agreed. Also, could the writer give some examples of heart diseases that are caused by bacteria? I am unaware of any that exist.

Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune disorder caused by strep throat gone untreated.
Chlamydia could be the cause of a thickening of artery walls, one of the symptoms of heart disease. Helicobacter pylori, which causes ulcers, may also play some role.

That symptom you described earlier in the blog (when you heard about the tainted water and then your stomach hurt) is called medical student syndrome. It's where you feel like you have whatever ailment is being described. I remember being in Biology and parasites of all sorts were being described...*shudders*...not fun, even if it's all in your head!
