Just a short quote from Rachel's Newsletter: ** Most drugs don't cure illnesses, they control symptoms -- they lower cholesterol levels or blood pressure, or they alleviate pain or depression, or they revive limp libidoes. However, to achieve these results, they must be taken continuously, often for many years.

[6,pg.923] What will it mean to raise our babies on water contaminated with low levels of birth control drugs and athlete's foot remedies plus Viagra, Prozac, Valium, Claritin, Amoxicillin, Prevachol, Codeine, Flonase, Ibuprofen, Dilantin, Cozaar, Pepcid, Albuterol, Naproxen, Warfarin, Ranitidine, Diazepam, Bactroban, Lotrel, Lorazepam, Tamoxifen, Mevacor, and dozens of other potent drugs, along with hair removers, mosquito repellants, sunburn creams, musks and other fragrances? No one knows, but evidently we're going to find out, learning by doing. This newsletter is talking about the effect of more drugs in the environment as a result of charting the human genome. The whole text is thought provoking. Do go and read it. Judith. . All back issues are available by E-mail: send E-mail to . . [email protected] with the single word HELP in the message. . .
