Water, Water, Everywhere

...There´s a new blog and a new podcast. I hope you find them interesting.



One Man Cried When
He had no shoes ,
But he stopped crying when
He saw a man without legs
….

We have yet another change in the weather. I can't say I'm surprised as the general map of Spain showed rain everywhere. We were really quite lucky to get in a nice sunny day until around 4 pm. Then, as I was walking near the mountains the ominous rain clouds began to cover the mountains. It was obvious it would soon rain and around 7pm it arrived. This dispels two myths learnt in England. The rain in Spain doesn't seem to stay maily on the plain. Also, the land mass seems to have its fair share of quickly changing weather. Let's see how long this rain will be with us in the Alicante province....those of a weak disposition look away now......

How creams and lotions contribute to water pollution

If you're slathering on topical creams, antibiotic ointments, medicated patches and hormone lotions, you're not just marinating yourself in unnecessary meds -- you're sharing them with your friends and neighbors as well.

An alarming new study presented at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting shows that when you bathe, these drugs head right into the water table, where they make a beeline for taps all over town.

Thanks, pal. Just what the rest of us a need -- an extra dose of YOUR meds.

But hey, it's not just you. We're all drinking each other's drugs. Every prescription pill you swallow eventually comes out the other end, where it gets flushed down the drain. That's bad enough -- but at least those meds are diluted by their trip through the body.

All those creamy, gooey lotions, on the other hand, are still full-strength drugs when you wash them off.

And forget water treatment plants -- trusting them to keep chemicals out of your tap water would be like trusting the French to keep out the Germans.

I've been warning of tainted water for years. Every day, millions of Americans are exposed to some of the worst drugs, chemicals and toxins imaginable -- all pouring out of your supposedly safe tap water.

Everything from sex-change hormones to rocket fuel has been found in U.S. drinking water from coast to coast -- in big cities and small towns alike. Some of these poisons enter as human waste, like those drugs I just mentioned... but others are a byproduct of corporate greed as American industry uses your waterways as its own private dumping grounds.

And of course, plenty of other toxic additives are put in on purpose -- fluoride, chlorine and a few extras they haven't copped to yet. Feminizing, sissy-making hormone drugs keep turning up in our water, making men impotent and weak -- and I refuse to believe it's an accident.

These are just a few of the reasons why I haven't had a glass of water in 20 years. To find out more, click here.

Add it all up, and we've got some of the world's most polluted water -- and there's little you can do to protect yourself from it. Don't waste your money with supermarket water filters -- get yourself a reverse-osmosis filter and install where the water enters your home.

Tapping into the truth,

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

Little Bruce & Jenny......................Thanks Ian K from Villamar

Little Bruce and Jenny are only 10 years old, but they know they are in love. One day they decide that they want to get married, so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.

Bruce bravely walks up to him and says, 'Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage.'

Thinking that this was just the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, 'Well Bruce, you are only 10. Where will you two live?'

Without even taking a moment to think about it, Bruce replies, 'In Jenny's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely.'

Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, 'Okay then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to support Jenny.'

Again, Bruce instantly replies, 'Our allowance. Jenny gets five bucks a week and I get 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month and that should do us just fine.'

Mr. Smith is impressed Bruce has put so much thought into this. 'Well Bruce, it seems like you have everything figured out. I just have one more question. What will you do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?'

Bruce just shrugs his shoulders and says,

'Well, we've been lucky so far.'

Mr. Smith no longer thinks the little xxxxx is adorable.
