Widespread Trace-Level Contamination Found In U.S. Water Supply, AP Investigation Shows

I use that Brita Water Filtering system.

I wonder how well it"s protecting me and my family.

"Authorities have now found high levels of anti-anxiety medications in the nation"s water supply.

Their advice to those who are worried about this:

Drink some of it, it will calm you down."

This is part of the guvments new health care program. Free pharmaceuticals delivered right to your home (if you haven''t been foreclosed). It is also an environmentally green program as the drugs are recycled. Be happy.

"The drinking water in Dallas has been tested, but officials are awaiting results. Arlington, Texas, acknowledged that traces of a pharmaceutical were detected in its drinking water but cited post-9/11 security concerns in refusing to identify the drug."

So now "9/11 security concerns." is the catch-all excuse to hide embarrassing information about anything. Where is the unaccounted money sent to Iraq? "9/11 security concerns." Why weren''t the Bush girls processed for their cocaine bust? "9/11 security concerns." What is poisoning our water? "9/11 security concerns." Who is responsible for the KBR poisoned water served to our troops? "9/11 security concerns." Why is Bush not held accountable for lying about Iraq? "9/11 security concerns."

The pattern here is obvious, we cannot fight corruption, either government or corporate, due to "9/11 security concerns."

Hey Bush, not everyone is as stupid as you...

Boston MA does have nasty drinking water. People are are meds and yes it leave the body. They enter the systems and they are in the waters that are recyled in to drinking drinking water. They go back in to bodies that don''t use them meds. That water is not safe to drink. Surely this mess with all living things. We need water. They have not figsred out how to remove them from the water. Vince told me* I wondered where the meds go that leave the body *. Now he know.

Anotherthing jackazz, if you read my first line it said;

"Water containing rust is NOT giving you ''''''''iron''''''''"

You see where I said it''s NOT giving you IRON? because it''s: RUST, you don'';t get your daily dose of ''iron'' from rusty water.

See this jackazz, note it does not say to eat nuts and bolts or iron filings to get your daily ''iron'' , the ''ion'' is mineralized in your *FOOD*;

Iron Deficiency Anemia

GENERAL INFORMATION:

* Iron deficiency anemia occurs when you do not have enough iron in your blood.

Iron is a mineral the body needs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to make hemoglobin which is a part of your red blood cells. Hemoglobin helps your blood carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of your body. Your bone marrow also needs iron in order to make healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells cannot deliver enough oxygen to your body if your bone marrow does not have enough iron.
Not eating enough iron-rich foods. This may be a problem especially for people who are trying to lose weight, older adults, and people who drink alcohol too much or too often. This may also be a problem for vegetarians, and others who cannot have much meat in their diet.

The tainted water of self nobody wants! But the living water everyone wants! When a legitimate relationship is born in your heart through Christ Jesus you, because of that relationship, you will experience Gods presence, his love. Sinning would only decrease his presence in you life and you would because of his presence sin less and less by his strength and His love for you! Then you can say you can do all things through Christ, and not yourself, who strengthens you!

What is this living water?

Pharmaceuticals In Drinking Water
The drinking water here is tainted by self! They had mixed everything in the water! They do not want us to have the living water? Oh no? They do not want us to have the water that we would never be thirsty again?

One other thing moron, rust is iron oxide, That is iron that has been "broken down."

Wow.. lay off the aspartame and MSG. The damage is permanent just like lead poisoning.

[antizion]

Water containing rust is NOT giving you ''''iron'''' nor would eating copper pennies give you the copper you need, your body cant assimilate raw metals! it has to be broken down and absorbed by plants first.

That was posted by a moron.

Dear Moron,

Eat a bullet. It is "raw metal". Trust me, the acid in your digestive system won''t break it down just like a penny will not dissolve in a coke.... Just before you die a miserable death of lead poison....

What an idiot.

[nothappyatall]

"Trace amounts! Sounds like a word they use to put us to sleep. "

Remember, you only need TRACE amounts- micrograms of certain minerals, the word "trace" doesnt have a lot of meaning.

"Bottled water is usually filtered to the point that minerals have to be added back in to restore the taste and keep it from killing you."

Taste is the ONLY reason they put minerals back in, unless all you eat all day every day is something like Ramen Noodles, you get all the minerals your body needs and more from the FOOD you eat. Water containing rust is NOT giving you ''iron'' nor would eating copper pennies give you the copper you need, your body cant assimilate raw metals! it has to be broken down and absorbed by plants first.
Distilled water has only ONE drawback- it has no taste at all, for those who are USED to their water tasting like old rusty pipes, chlorine and the like may prefer to have some taste added back in, but rusty pipes providing taste can also add a lot of other stuff you don''t want in it.
So you can add something to your distilled water, a dash of lemon juice or some other flavor, personally I prefer NO taste and very cold water.

"If the American people knew what we had done they would chase us down on the street and lynch us" - George HW Bush

Did he mean stealing the 2.6 trillion from the pentagon budget office that was supposed to pay all consumer debt off as ordered by the supreme court in the NESARA ruling due to government corruption.

2.6 trillion just happens to be the amount of US consumer debt. Don Rumsfeld testified the day before 911 to congress he didn''t know where the money went. The next day, the four buildings where the crime was committed were destroyed.

That is why they did 911. Maybe you are too dumbed down by these drugs and more to notice things like that. Here are a few they put into your products to permanently destroy your brain.

Aspartame - listed with the pentagon as a chem/bio agent in 1967
MSG - works like aspartame, converts to formaldahyde in your liver and causes your brain to upload calcium until your neurons pop leaving you with 30% of what you should have.
Fluoride - Stalin also used it in his prison camps to keep the people from rising up. Actually causes cavities, not prevent them.
DEA - in your shampoo and hand creams. Destroys the hippocampus region of the brain.
and more...

Trace amounts! Sounds like a word they use to put us to sleep. Here are some others: Particulates; Parts per million; Insignifigant; nominal; and for our friends who like to lobby for nonregulated regulations so that they can place the blame on our foolish and noncaring officials and politicians; "as allowed by law" or " legal, permissible amount." Whatever needs to be done, we the people need to act and demand that water stop being treated as a commodity, (remember Enron?) like the World Bank likes to do to poor foreign countries and demand accountability from government officials. Secondly, the return of tort claims against polluting companies. I know in this case the watershed is effected through recharge, but the fact remains that no one is ever held to answer for a myriad of sins.

On the farm, there''s no tolerance for antibiotice in milk or meat. funny how they''re finding stuff way more disturbing in our drinking water and poopooing it as something to not worry about.

I live near a small town that is surrounded by potato fields. During the growing season the fields are doused with pesticides. When it is time to harvest...the green leaves of the potato plant are killed off by spraying them with herbicides.

Per capita this small town has an alarming high rate of cancer including children and young adults. Coincidence...I don''t think so.

Water purity was addressed in many state and municipal forums across the country. The addition of floride has been declared the leading residual element that is commonly found in treated water. No benefit is seen from floride today, but it still remains as an accepted practice, although sealife has suffered from floride enrichment.

Bottled water is usually filtered to the point that minerals have to be added back in to restore the taste and keep it from killing you. I doubt pharmaceuticals would get through this. I would fully expect to find all kinds of things in drinking water. I would like to see an analysis of Ice cores for these same chemicals. I bet you would find a lot of things. I not surprised they found *** hormones in lakes and rivers. Especially since this is were fish live and fish make *** hormones. I don''t think this article was very well researched. What do you do if you can''t remove the chemicals? Tell people to die of thirst?

[raised4952]

there''s no wonder why so many people are addicted to drugs they are recieveing them with out prior knowledge.imagine all the toilet cleaners used in america''s households.it makes you wonder how safe our water really is to drink..

"Otherwise if you keep a gallon of it in the fridge REAL cold, nothing better than distilled water about 34 degrees with just a hint of ice crystals in it :)" Posted by newster1

If that water is starting to freeze at all then I hope it isn''t in a PLASTIC container. When water is in a plastic container and starts to freeze, a toxic chemical is released into the water. In the summer I used to put the plastic water bottles in the freezer to start to freeze, then I would take them out and squeeze it to crush up the ice that formed. That is until I heard this.

I have a separate water tap in the kitchen that is charcoal filtered but for cooking I just use the regular tap water. I have also used the distilled water and if it is really cold I don''t really notice any difference in the taste.

Of course now they are saying that we are obsorbing all the c-r-a-p that is in our water through our skin. This world is in SAD shape.
