Disposing of meds/supplements - was Re: For those with hair loss......

[Guest guest]

I was told by doctor to place them in a zip-loc bag, put water in the

bag to moisten (in order for pills to disintegrate), then put bag in

trash. That way, they cannot be used by anyone, in case someone finds

them.

They will still get into the ground water though, from any landfill.

Unless the container/plastic bag stays intact forever. I don't think

bags or bottles stay intact in the landfill here, as it is all plowed

and stomped down with heavy bulldozers.

I'm really beginning to re-think what I buy, a lot of it ends up unused,

due to my inability to take things I thought would work. Plus even what

we do take, much of it ends up passing out in our urine. Adding to toxic

load in the environment, contaminating rivers and streams and

groundwater. No easy answers.
