Ok,
I have an uncle who is a medical scientist, multi-degreed and frankly, a genius in my eyes. (Not my blood, damn it!)
But anyways,
he said that there is no way to filter out these meds due to the small nature of the elements vs. filter abilities at this time, BUT,
he said he believes that the only safe way to dispose of meds is to have captive incineration (I believe Johanna said this? Or someone from Canada? And I was concerned with dioxin, so he explained to me the full extent of "captive" incineration.)
Then he said he felt that actually the pharmaceutical companies themselves should be financially and actually responsible by law to perform this service free of charge to the public - well, free except they charge us an arm and a leg for the meds themselves sometimes...haha.
So this is just more food for thought. And from someone who is a very special person in my life, and I always feel really honored when he thinks a subject I bring up is actually worth his discussion and thought. So we all (and I do mean all of us) actually thought of a good problem here, I mean, the disposal of the meds, etc.
God bless guys.
