Should medicine be delivered through water system

What does it cure, whats the side effects, what does it cost?

Realistically distributing medication like that would never work. The risk of serious drug interactions, overdose and other issues would negate that.

Enhancing water with useful minerals that are often filtered out is about all I care about.

Medicine is often distasteful.

LMAO!

But I absolutely do not agree with anything in my water except water.
 
I can't believe you're serious about this, Shannow. Besides, we already get plenty of meds in our water supply due to poor filtering by the water plants.

That's what i'm afraid of! And agree the above stated point ' Nothing in my water but water!'

Of course not. The very premise is ludicrous in an otherwise modern society. There's no way to control the level of medication that individuals receive, and there's no way to control interactions or side effects.

I couldn't even see a case being made for it in some third world countries as an alternative to vaccinations. With no way to control the dosage the population can easily over or under medicate.

Exactly. Beaten beyond death in the other one.

I would rather discuss "Advantages of Wearing Tinfoil Hats in these Types of Threads"

For maximum effect it must be laced with colloidal silver and you must have had your weekly high colonic.

Would never happen. But good idea. look at Haiti their population is staggering. Birth control in the water for 10 years would help them a lot.
 
i've been gone on a job for about a week, and today i see this interesting thread topic.
absolutely,yes. but only in oz.
i have to go now and make another tinfoil hat, as i lost it on my job.take care.
 
As a psychopharmacologist, I can tell you straight up that this would be the absolute stupidest way to dispense medication that I have ever heard of, and I have heard of plenty. There is NOT ONE medication that everyone needs to be on, there would be absolutely no control over dosages, there would have to be numerous other chemicals added for use as carrying agents for the thousands of drugs that are not water soluble, physicians would be prevented from ever making a truly confident diagnosis, and so on and on (I could list probably hundreds of other reasons).
Pharmacology is very complicated and highly individualized. I work in the field and the complexities can be so overwhelming as to be incomprehensible, so to an average "layperson", this is something far beyond what even a Bachelor's Degree's worth of Bio/Chem would provide. I do NOT in any way mean that in a negative/disrespectful way, so please understand that and don't flame me. This simply happens to be my field.

Agreed I'm getting my Bachelors in Biology and minor in chem and I still dont know as much as I think I should. I eventually want to go to pharmacy school or optometry school. I don't have all the answers yet!

Haha! I see what you did there.

The problem is that in the USA they are already doing this with fluoride. LOL And god knows what else.

A big problem in the USA is that people using medicine have it pass through their systems and at water treatment plants they cannot filter it out!

Everytime I see the "tin foil hat" flag lobbed at a post or thread it automatically indicates that the issue is a serious one that should be focused on with laser like precision as the powers that be are in favor of it.
