For those of you who found this website because you are desperately seeking to avoid medication and for those of you who take it to stay stable, it looks like we all may be getting a far bigger dosage of just about all medications from municipal well water.
Trace levels of anti-anxiety medication were found in Los Angeles water. Apparently it is a popular drug to help commuters get through their schlep to work.
Rural areas may have issues too, particularly due to medications escaping the leach fields of a septic system and making their way into the ground water. Our own well is 102 feet from our leach field. The requirement is a distance of 100 feet. Of course, we take our own medication more directly. It’s the medication of the neighbors upstream in the underground river that serves our well that is more of a concern to me.
So what to do? Worrying in any active way about your water is probably worse than your water. What you need to do is make sure you are taking in adequate nutrients so that your body will be able to filter out toxins. The B vitamin family is critical. The minerals in our depression list are critical. Basically, rebuild from depression and help your body filter ground water medications at the same time.
