A trend in Australia -- turning sewage into drinking water --may be a harbinger of things to come throughout the world.
Severe water shortages in parts of Australia have prompted government officials to initiate plans to use recycled sewage as a new source of drinking water for cities, using pipelines that would directly connect sewage treatment plants to municipal water supplies in Queensland.
A few voices have been raised pointing out how recycled sewage released into groundwater is already feminizing male fish and changing the basic metabolisms of entire species whenever and wherever they have contact with the effluent. The chief culprits are the female hormone mimic chemicals found in personal care products. Once these estrogen chemicals are excreted and flushed into wastewater systems, the technology isn't sophisticated enough to remove them. Neither are the water purification plants technologically advanced enough to remove these chemicals.
As water shortages increase worldwide due to drought, development, and changing weather patterns, the pressure will only intensify to use recycled wastewater as drinking water. Can anyone now seriously doubt that the stage is set for the emergence of mutant species?
I am so glad my best friend sent me the link to your site. We have talked about all of the aches and pains we have been experiencing in the last few years both of us being in our middle 40s she has adopted an all organic diet and has used a detox system she looks 10 years younger and has lost 15 pounds in 3 months she says she has more energy than she has had in 20 years and is convinced the depression, chronic back ache and fatigue she had experienced for years were all because of the toxins in her body these are now a thing of the past. It is high time the general public is finally getting the information needed to get healthy again.. As for me I am changing my habits a little at a time. The organic products which we all used to eat daily are now sky high but I hope prices will start to come down as more people decide to take charge of their lives.
