married to an ER doctor. He said his patients would get mad at him for not prescribing
drugs when they thought they needed them. Some patients would go as far as to write
the hospital CEO demanding that he be fired for not giving them what they felt
they needed! Pharm companies advertise on TV, radio and in magazines about
which drugs they should be taking for their medical problems. Pharm reps wine
and dine docs to order and prescribe their pills. Children and adults are prescribed
antidepressants for hyperactivity and depression. Today there is a pill for everyone,
for anything. Physicians don’t even know why certain medications work,
but they do. This has been my own personal experience with statin drugs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to this which might include doing more research/independent studies on health risks
from toxic substances (including pharms) currently not regulated; regulations that
require testing and removal of toxic substances (including pharms) by WWTPs; removal
of protections for certain chemicals classified as trade secrets; increased public
education about the risks of toxics substances and pharms in the environment; a
publicly-funded program to support green chemistry ...... an incentive program for
pharm co’s to conduct green chemistry research? Others?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

unless they are TOLD to do so by state and/or federal regulators. They
aren’t being told nor will they acknowledge that there’s a problem.

those of us who take the drugs and excrete metabolites, or in many cases
largely unchanged drug. We should concentrate our efforts on teaching our
sewage systems to render the chemicals benign. Sometimes we spend a lot of time
and money trying to solve 1 percent of the problem, when we should be better
served solving the 99 percent. Then the extra 1 percent would come along, as a
matter of course.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
