I think a lot of drugs today are over-prescribed. The worst
In my opinion, it's antibiotics. Seriously, people, a cold or flu will NOT be cured by antibiotics. Antibiotics will only cure a bacterial infection!! Use P73 strength Oil of Oregano, or Olive Leaf Extract and your bacterial problem will go away without killing (literally) billions of good bacteria.

For all bad press that Vioxx got that was one drug that actually helped to alleviate the pain I have in my ankles because of chronic tendonitis. And you can dispose of old prescription meds yourself by burning them. A friend of mine who passed away in Feb. was on many different meds, and his nephew took all his drugs and burned them in his garbage burner.

Not too many counties where you can burn garbage anymore unless you live deep in the sticks.
Probably better to burn than flush down the toilet though.

The risks posed by other PPCPs are largely unknown and unstudied. The environmental issues could be as varied and diverse as the number of chemicals in use."

Dan,
Here in Central WI when you go out in the country just about everyone still has a "burn barrel".

Yes, antibiotics are over-prescribed, however, one generally is not on antibiotics indefinitely, unlike statins and other meds to control chronic conditions. If one has a chronic condition that requires indefinite treatment with antibiotics, one probably has some major health problems.
What gets me about the statins is that most doctors tend to dismiss the side effects... I've watched a close relative turn to stone as she ages, and I suspect that the statins she's been given have a lot to do with it... but I can't get the medical regime she's under to change. Kind of sad, and it seems almost like elder abuse to blindly prescribe drugs that are having such serious side effects. Personally I'd rather have a heart attack or a stroke than end my days unable to move my limbs and have my mind in a fog for months if not years.

Please see your doctor(s). A friend of mine some time ago was told by his doctor that any time you had "the worst headache" you should talk to your doctor -- it may be your first sign that you are having micro-bleeding in your brain that can develop into full-bleed and end up in a stroke. What you need (beyond pain management) is a scan. Now. I hope for your sake that it's nothing and they'll prescribe appropriate drugs to relieve your pain (just like it happened to the friend I just mentioned) but it's not something you should be dealing with on your own.
And I say that from the perspective of someone whose BF had a stroke nearly a year ago -- no warnings, just happened (not even headache), because he had high blood pressure. Not fun. He's basically fully recovered now, one wouldn't notice anything if one didn't know, but it's not an experience I'd recommend to anybody, friend or foe.
Best wishes,

Dan,
The ban on most open fires is probably a small price to pay for one of the best climates in the world. No snow to speak of, dry warm weather, not too hot, from May to November, and beautiful scenery all around. You can plant in April and keep on harvesting until December.
Of course the traffic is horrendous and the cost of living high, but... it's pretty close to paradise without being a tropical island...

Home incinerator barrels and units-haven't seen those since I was little-too many areas have banned the burning of home waste because of the higher plastics content which causes very serious and TOXIC air pollution-better to let the municipal waste incinerators handle this-their incinerators burn at a higher temp than household ones-so less pollutiion and better waste reduction-and you can get the benefits of steam and power gneration from large incineration plants.but burning prescription waste may not be a good idea-esp in a household trash burner-whats going to be in that smoke?Again take the drugs to a hazardous waste facility.They can dispose of it more safely.
I would second the motion of seeing your doc if you are having cronic head pain-pain is an indicator something is WRONG!Get it fixed before it kills you.

thanks for your concern...I did mention it to my doctor, it continued for 4 months, he tought it was from the new medicine he had me on, but wanted to do a scan just to rule out any other problems, so the next day, I had a CAT scan with contrast, turned out I had one major sinus infection, no other symptom except for the headaches once a month for 4 days, never had sinus problems my whole life, who knew, but a 5 day treatment packet and all gone, thank god, you just never know...they said it was really bad to show up on a scan.
All better now!
Thanks again

spoke to my pharmacist
I asked him what to do with pills that I have that I either no longer need or can't take. He suggested to do what they do. All newer pill bottles are water proof. He said to leave pills in container add water put the cap back on and put into the trash. Do not throw them down the toilet. With all the pills out there he said it wouldn't take long to pollute the water ways. So this is what I have been doing with mine.
