My cousins and I spent our summers on my grandfathers dairy farm. We all drank raw milk, drank water from the farm well and didn’t hesitate taking a drink out of the local spring fed streams. And we all somehow survived.
I am 67 years old and have never had a debilitating disease other than old age.
I attribute my relative old age, without significant illness to my exposures to all the nasties that come with raw milk, unfiltered well water and refreshing sips of cold, cold natural spring water.
drank raw mile, shallow well water, springs, brooklets, - as did everyone I knew......
Never knew anyone to get sick from them.
Lot of people getting VERY sick tho from drinking today's milk with it's antibiotics, growth hormones, etc -
and drinking high priced recycled sewer water from Los Angeles, Denver, Jacksonville, etc - from which prescription drugs DO NOT filter out. People pay top dollar for these bottled waters. (If I have to buy bottled water when on a trip - I buy only water labeled ‘spring water’) -
By the way, been drinking my own well water here for 23 years. No problems....no bleach.
