Even the water is toxic now

Haven't we seen it coming? Everything causes cancer. Now, the AP just released the results of an investigative study that reveals pharmaceutical drugs in the drinking water all over the place. Bottled water, big cities, small cities, personal wells, the entire watershed is contaminated with heart medicine, sex hormones, anti-seizure medicine, antibiotics, and tons of other things, too. Here's the deal;

People swallow pills. People pee. Even though water is treated before it's sent out to sea, they're not removing the drugs. In many places, they're not even checking to see if any are there.

The EPA is pi$$ed about it. The people who are profiting from water distribution and don't want to invest in upgrades to their machines & processing facilities or be subject to investigation say that they don't like to tell people about the drugs in the water because they might freak out because they don't understand the reports. THEN explain it to me like I'm a kindergartener please, because I am freaking out.

I avoid medicine. I choose to stay healthy and strong in order to resist illness. My kids are getting over a flu- the first one they've had in years and it follows a few visits to a friend in the hospital. We avoid hospitals. And doctor's offices. And we hardly ever get sick. The idea that our bodies are being subject to unnatural substances from the water itself is so repulsive. That water grows our vegetables (even the organic ones) and it goes into the bodies of the animals we eat, and the fish. How can the world ever be clean again? I think this is worse than any other pollution there is.

If someone invented a water purifier that promised to remove drugs from water, I would spend thousands of dollars having it installed in my house so that I could bathe, cook and drink the water nature intended for us to drink.

I am so glad I am not thirsty right now. I just have to convince myself that the acids in coffee magically remove the drugs. Yeah- the coffee beans filter out the drugs. yeah. coffee is safe. It's all we have left.

And evidence to my oh so scientific theory is that I have been watering my plants with cold leftover coffee since we bought our house and they grow better here than they have ever grown anywhere else ever.

Yeah- coffee is safe. whew.
