Although I don’t trust doctors and the pharmaceutical industry, particularly since the plandemic, they will argue that you can’t flush them down the toilet because the vast majority are small molecules that can’t be filtered out by typical water purification methods and other people would be drinking the water that still contains medication. My suggestion is to get completely off pharmaceuticals and go back to homeopathic treatments. That way you won’t have to flush any medications down the toilet.
Instead of flushing unused medicine people should contact their pharmacy about disposing of unused medicine. I am not on any prescriptions but found out this was possible after my mom died.
I knew a dentist that would Rx pain meds for his patients, and tell them if they didn't use them all bring them back to him for disposal. He disposed of them alright, right down his own esophagus. True story.
My BIL passed away in his sleep. My wife and I went over to his house at around six in the morning. The county coroner was called and the sheriff's department also. When the cops arrived, the first thing they asked, and I mean not even "we have sympathy for your loss", was "Does your husband have any prescription medicines....we need to take them." Well, before the cops arrived we got hold of all the good medicines and left the ones that were worthless. What the cops were doing was making sure nobody could get hold of the medicines and use it for themselves. I could care less about their wanting to keep medicines off the street but my SIL has control of those medicines now and the cops should go pound sand. Heck, if he had tons of IVM you bet your bottom dollar I'd have made sure the cops wouldn't have gotten them. No telling what the cops did with the meds they did retrieve, though. Probably self medicated in the squad car.
That's so sad. When my mom passed the hospice nurse destroyed the pain meds right in front of us while we waited for the funeral home to pick up my mom's body. mixing them with stuff rending them unusable I watched her with my own eyes . The other meds we returned to the pharmacy. Nobody in my family would have used the pain meds anyway. Too bad to hear about the cops, some really want to serve and protect, some are just bullies with badges.
My doctors have actually told me to flush medicines down the toilet, rather than throwing them in the trash. Both routes go into the ground anyway.
Not really.
Sewers are somewhat sanitized and then released directly into waterways. Forever chemicals and all.
Landfills have clay barriers, plastic liners, liquid collection systems, etc.
Landfills in America aren't just dumps like farmers used to do in the 1700s by just piling shit up on the side of the property. Landfills don't dump all liquids into the ground water.
I don't use a sewer. I have a septic tank that empties into a drain field in my yard. I don't believe the local landfill here has any of those modern extras. Everything gets dumped there, even the supposed recyclables. And any liquid gets into the ground.
Sewers don't really work the way you think either. I have toured the one in my former town. The crap comes in and has a ton of chlorine added to kill the smell. Then it goes into huge settling tanks full of bacteria and worms. Occasionally, the water from the tanks, which is clean, except for bacteria and worms, is flushed into the river. At the outlet, there are ducks gathered every day to get all the free worms. They are very healthy ducks. The solids are removed from the settling tanks and piled in a nearby field. Farmers come and get the solids to use as fertilizer on their farms.
BTW, most chemicals aren't forever. They break down. Aspirin breaks down into acetic acid. Aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde. Etc. Only the simplest chemicals don't break down.
What about crackheads pissing in a toilet? Wouldn't their piss be full of harmful drugs?
I'm really not a fan of medicine or doctors in general, but this is a dumb argument.
If the medicine can't be properly cleaned from our water, then it makes sense that it would be bad to flush them, because it would taint our drinking water and a lot of people that don't 'need' a particular medicine are getting micro doses of it. Then add to that multiple medicines' ingredients being mixed together and also micro dosed, and that's not good either.
Plus just bc it’s safe for someone to take it for heart problems doesn’t mean it won’t affect a healthy person differently. Honestly that argument is really dumb. He should take it down before it makes him looks silly
This is not a "red pill." It's a stupid statement made by a man who damn well should know better if he's an actual medical doctor. If he's taken a pharmacology course, he should know the answer to this question.
What is the answer?
When you are evaluated for pharmacological treatment with a drug, the doctor does a risk vs benefit assessment. Every drug has its effects. Those can be useful for treatment or unwanted, which we call side effects. Regardless, the drug is the drug. It's simply a molecule which does what it does. The doctor determines that it's "safe to swallow" if he thinks it'll do more harm than good. We take many poisons into our body that we call medicine. All antibiotics are poisons. Chemotherapy is a poison. Plenty of other drugs we regularly take will straight up kill you if you take more than the prescribed dose. Dr. White Coat Wants-To-Sound-Profound knows that the safety is just a trade-off, a balancing of the benefits of giving a small quantity of a substance vs the harms it'll do at the same time. You don't give medicines to healthy people because there's no benefit, only harms. It is this logic which is why we have prescription medications and pharmacists at all. "Safe" is just a risk-benefit assessment - an assessment that people like him pay an ENORMOUS price to be legally allowed to make.
Meanwhile, eliminating the drug involves rendering it "safe enough." When you swallow a pill, that's your liver's job. Your liver puts the drug through a chemical factory and transforms it into a form that can be eliminated safely from the body in the urine or feces. You may take a poison to treat a disease, but your liver makes it safe(r) before you pee it out. This is why you have to keep taking maintenance medications. You have to constantly replace what your liver is detoxifying if the benefit continues to outweigh the risks of the "side effects."
Getting rid of unused drugs, however, is a different story. There are two strategies. You can dilute the drug to make it so weak that it's not a safety concern anymore (by flushing it into a massive reservoir of water we call the water treatment system). You can think about this as the same answer to why does peeing in a lake not foul the water? The lake is a huge body of water and it dilutes the pee. This is also why homeopathic "medicine" is bullshit. It's so diluted there's no medicine at all in the solution they sell you.
Or you chemically alter the drug to make it safe. This also occurs in the water treatment system. Drugs are exposed to water, UV light, enzymes, and various chemicals to break down hazards in the waste water as part of the treatment process. You can flush most drugs down the toilet because we have a very large and complex system downstream of that toilet that is designed to make the drug safe. Even septic systems have mechanisms, like enzymatic treatments that help with this.
Even so, there are drugs which still must be handled specially and cannot be flushed down the toilet. I won't give a pharmacology lesson here, but if you work in a hospital pharmacy or handle chemotherapy drugs or radiopharmaceuticals, you'll know what's involved here. Even things like opioids are not flushed anymore, generally. They're returned to the pharmacy and destroyed.
If Dr. Clickbait didn't know this, he should surrender his license, hang up his white coat and never EVER call himself doctor again. I hate quackery.
Thank you Dr Barker...now please convince the normies..
Wait until you learn about amalgam fillings
That's not really a good faith quote.. the problem is that people are getting a slush full of all types of pills that they aren't on themselves, and many of which can't be taken together. Not that I'm for big pharm but this isn't the one
I was always told by doctors to flush unused medicines down the toilet. So that's what I do with old medicine I haven't taken.
I have also quit taking most prescriptions. My doctor said I could. After losing over 100 pounds, my numbers are pretty good for an old person. My sugar is fine, my cholesterol is fine, and my blood pressure is at the very bottom end of normal instead of high.
If all the pills that all the people took were diverted to me then it would wreck my liver much quicker than taking a recommended dose. I guess.
I understand the ecosytem and water reclamation limits. As well, I've understood concerns regarding water reclamation and the difficulty in obtaining funding to do proper research.
But that isn't the point of this meme.
My guess would be our body metabolises things.
That's why I never believe the adrenochrome stuff. Adrenochrome is very short-lived and unstable it quickly becomes something else if it's warm or wet or if it's in with oxygen. So the idea of extracting it from a human being seems ridiculous. It Metabolizes super fast.
When laboratories use the stuff they store it at something like -20° C
Dr Barke was one of the first doctors to stand up publicly and tell the truth about covid.
Put differently:
