Pharmaceutical pollution is out of control, polluting the waterways of our world to such a disturbing degree that now even the fish are carrying detectable levels of pharmaceuticals in their own bodies! A study conducted by Baylor University researcher Bryan Brooks, and published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, examined fish caught near Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia and Orlando, testing them for residues of pharmaceuticals. And what did the results show? That fish are contaminated with a chemical cocktail of prescription medications!
The research was funded by a $150,000 grant from the EPA, and it found the fish to be contaminated with:
• Seven different pharmaceuticals, including cholesterol drugs, blood pressure drugs, allergy drugs and psychiatric medications used to treat bipolar disorder and depression.
• Two different chemicals used as artificial fragrance in soaps.
These trace chemicals were found in fish near all of the sites tested… except for one: In order to establish a baseline reference of healthy, non-contaminated fish, researchers also caught fish in the Gila River Wilderness Area of New Mexico, which is far from any cities or developments. Care to guess what they found there? No pharmaceuticals contamination whatsoever.
It is quite clear from this research that pharmaceuticals have become a widespread source of chemical pollution that has permeated delicate aquatic ecosystems and now poses a serious threat to our environment.
Big Pharma pollutes the world
Big Pharma’s drugs pollute the world TWICE: First in the minds and bodies of those who take them, and then secondly in the rivers and oceans where toxic residues of the pharmaceuticals inevitably accumulate.
Remember this: Every pill of every pharmaceutical that is manufactured for Big Pharma eventually ends up in the environment! Probably at least half of them are just flushed down the toilet or washed down the drains, which remains standard practice at hospitals.
Strikingly, pharmaceuticals are not currently regulated by the EPA even though they pose a significant (and growing) risk to the environment. There is no question, for example, that pharmaceuticals are toxic to fish and aquatic mammals in much the same way they are toxic to humans.
Pill-pushing apologists, of course, claim that the trace levels of pharmaceutical found in the fish are so low that they are of no concern whatsoever. To that ridiculous standard of safety, I say, “Prove it!”
To date, there have been absolutely no safety tests conducted on the combinations of pharmaceuticals that are being found in public water supplies, waterways and oceans around the world. Anyone who says these chemicals are safe is merely taking a wild (and foolish) guess. They are also probably working for Big Pharma.
It is not the responsibility of environmentalists to prove that such chemicals are toxic to the environment. Rather, it is the duty of drug companies to prove their chemicals are SAFE for the environment! And that, by the way, cannot be done, because these drugs are, in reality, toxic to virtually all life forms, even at low doses.

warning greed is a DISEASE,big corporate greed runs the world , they will correct no wrongs .

and the ECO nuts are freaking out about you lawnmowers putting out too much CO2 while all our fish are toxic!
We are living in a Twilight Zone episode.

As an occupational toxicologist, I can assure you this report is true.
As a fisherman, I can assure you this story is true, also.
Our river systems are pits of industrial toxicology, shining examples of what NOT to do, paid for by corporate crooks who basically “pay to pollute” above allowable levels. It is absolutely the simple cost of business for these companies.
Being attached to the environmental groups by the hip as I am, it never fails to amaze me how they can turn blind eyes to this, but tell us it is a horrific crime to dump some used oil down the sanitary sewer. Granted, the oils would have toxic effects with metals and other contaminants, but the scale of the crime is so heavily emphasized upon the private citizen dumping his waste oil in the storm sewer, that the wholesale destruction of a fishery through pumping tons of toxic waste, not to mention the biologocal by products within the urine of the “patients” who take these medicines, that thepharmaceutical waste is merely an inconvenience, not a crime.
EPA has put up its “most wanted” list.
See if TVA or any pharmaceutical company is on that list (no, they are not).

why do you people let this fearmongerer dictate your consciousness. i admit i used to listen to aj and my life and energy was affected greatly by his poisonous rhetoric. be the change you want to see, do not allow a gov’t schill to alter your mood. easly solution to the NWO is to be all-loving, 1 by 1, and they will fall.

Jim,
Get a life. Go fight someone who isn’t trying to help people.
FYI he posted the old William Cooper thing from 10 years ago and is acting like that “exposes” Alex Jones.
Is that honestly the worst crap you can come up with on someone who’s been on air for 14 years? Alex must be legit, then, that just provides more proof.
March 27th, 2009 at 11:56 am
ALEX ISN’T GIVING YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH. THE INFOWAR IS PART OF A BROADER SPIRITUAL WAR! ITS GOOD VS. EVIL PLAIN AND SIMPLE AND INVOLVES INTRA-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS. WE ARE BEING HELPED BY A BENEVOLENT GROUP INTERESTED IN OUR ASCENTION INTO 2012. THE WORLD IS CHANGING AND IT IS AN EXCITING TIME. BUT ITS TIME TO WAKE TO THIS FACT. VISIT OUR SITE TO FIND OUR MORE!

You are right in that it is a spiritual war, but the answer is to be found in the Bible and in the Lord Jesus Christ. I think Alex is doing good to fight the evil, but the most important thing is to be saved and inherit eternal life. “For what will it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world but lose his own soul” – Jesus Christ.

Jesus could sure relate to greedy people with his talk of profit and the eternal where-abouts of the soul. It’s a shame science has no room for Jesus, the soul, good, evil, and life after death.

You are so right. I was listening to Thomas Horn talk about the Nephilim on Radio Liberty and WOW, I am not stunned, but to hear it from the knowledge he has gained and sharing with those willing to listen and learn is just shocking. I have always known about the Nephilim, but not to this extent.

This is so true.
Alex Jones is just saying a Half Truth. He never attacks the problem by the root, he will just fight with the outter layer of the onion. Either he knows (and then he is evil) and he works for the establishment, or he’s being used indirectly (we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now!!) to limit the spread of information, or to divert the path of those seeking the truth, and maintinaing them in disinfo. (It’s like eating fast food, your getting food, you feel full, but your not getting enough nutrients).
It is strange that Alex having been in the (information) business long enough, is not able to discover who are the real culprits in this whole world, and not exposing them. He looks like a good christian, but any good christian spreading the truth, should comment on the prophecies, and inform WHO THE GREAT WHORE OF REVELATION IS “Mystery Babylon” aka THE VATICAN.
The truth is Alex is keeping us in the dark, by reading his sites you will learn things but you will not get to the truth. You will get to a point of stagnation of information. You dont believe me, check it out for yoursleves:

Bottom down… A HALF TRUTH IS A WHOLE LIE. Alex has been in the business for too long to not expose the real culprits, specially being “Christian”….
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
