What Big Pharma and your government doesn't want you to know: Drinking Water Woes

RealityLicks -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/9/2008 10:45:49 AM)
This is a scare story put out by companies which make millions from selling bottled water. There's a massive campaign to persuade people to order tap water in restaurants, for environmental reasons, decimating their profits. My guess is; they're worried.

"A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco's drinking water." Wow! Now that's surprising! Maybe that's why I've been walking around with a constant Boner all week! "Boing!" "Gee this water tastes good!"

Sure, sure. Spin this as a bad thing, why don't you? The way I see it, this is free universal healthcare. :P

TheHeretic -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/9/2008 10:56:40 AM)
Whew. I feel a lot better now about only having arsenic in our town well.

DomKen -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/9/2008 12:45:42 PM)
I'd be a lot more concerned about the arsenic level personally.

This is not new. I have seen it and it has been known. What IS noteworthy is attention to it - in that maybe some progress can be made. Note how many peoples colon is so fricken clogged with gunk, that absorption can not happen. Quite possibly we are over medicated. The Lipitor messed me up- so hopefully I am not consuming it. As far as water goes- people seldom drink it. CM has more then most who understand this real time. But in larger society - people are phony on it. My brother is a good example. He says he agees- then nothing but soda and junk at his house.... the presumpition is that soda -the water of it-is pure. that it was put thru such process or has been tested and assured to not contain this- and I mean every bottle. to celebrate this awareness chug up. expelling the gunk is paramount.

This includes both bottle and even pure rain water from the sky. No matter where you get your water from, you will always find minute levels of arsenic, acid, and bacteria. Water is never 100% H2O. Bottoms up.

Real0ne -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/9/2008 9:32:01 PM)
Daym maybe thats whats wrong with me. I have always filtered my water :)

Aneirin -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/9/2008 9:36:41 PM)
Water, maybe a commodity which might become so precious as war to be waged over it, but water, there is lots of it coming out of the sky at the moment where I live, well, it is going horizontal with the wind of this storm that is coming. I used to live near Oxford, the Thames Valley, there, the water was reported to have been through a person four times and also the Thames valley has I believe the highest instance of male infertility in the country, the pill perhaps. I don't buy bottled water, I see it as obscene to sell water for such high prices. I do however filter my water,it just sort of rounds off the taste a bit, reduces the chemical fluouride smell and tang. When I go out, I take a bottle of my own filtered stuff complete in a non plastic container.

This has been news for several years. Dan Savage talked about it a while ago, as an aside about drinking pee from a woman who takes Birth Controll pills, can have serious side effects, they are loaded with hormones. Why do you think all the frogs and amphibians are getting fucked up? But is the Birth Controll pill really a plot by Big Pharma? Is everyone going to stop taking Birth Controll pills? Yeah right. Are they going to blame someone else, you bet.... Edited because I wrote Mike Savage instead of Dan----polar opposites---both entertaining.

luckydog1 -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/10/2008 1:39:01 AM)
tap and pitcher filters don't get pharmacueticles and hormones out of the water. Luckily, my water comes from a glacier fed lake that has nothing at all upstream from it. Just some bird crap on the top and pollution from China on the bottom, and we suck it from the middle. We also run it through a turbine before it gets treated/ flouridated to get some electrcity.

pahunkboy -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/10/2008 4:42:34 AM)
Better diet comes in stages. I do the same- per the water. I still enjoy other beverages but in moderation. the 6 pack abs are starting and that is mind boggling. big pharma likely has no position on this- why? cos they will make a pill to fix it- and everything will be ok. you may recall a post about my uncle choosing his fate by refusing another heart surgery. only a few yrs later the surgery is a 3day recovery. wow. i salute modern medicine. tho- as 9-11 concluded 'failure of imagination"-- hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. alot can be said for those 3 words.

MissMorrigan -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/10/2008 4:51:43 AM)
That's very good advice, Aneirin. Occasionally I'll buy a bottled water if I'm out and have no other means to get it, but prefer it out of the tap, so to speak. Have you noticed how softer the water is in places such as London as opposed to say coastal areas? While the government issues guidelines as to what is within acceptable levels with regard to water treatment, I'm sure there is a connection between the heavy rise in some disorders and the chemicals used in water treatment. The government also claim that pollution emissions in South East London are within 'acceptable' levels, yet there hais a huge surge in asthma sufferers over the last couple of decades... no coincidence, I feel! quote: ORIGINAL: Aneirin Water, maybe a commodity which might become so precious as war to be waged over it, but water, there is lots of it coming out of the sky at the moment where I live, well, it is going horizontal with the wind of this storm that is coming.

"Boing!" "Gee this water tastes good!" Yea, I noticed that too. And lots of antidepresents in California too. I wonder what they would find if they tested Detroits waters? I also wonder about all the people who say drinking someone elses urine can't possibly hurt you and none of the drugs they take would be present in their urine.

camille65 -> RE: Drinking Water Woes (3/10/2008 5:47:13 AM)
This story came out about 6 years ago, but I guess it didn't receive enough attention at the time. [8\|]People think bottled water is the answer til they realise most is just ultra filtered tap water. Makes me glad I have well water where my only worry is arsenic!
