Hmmm.
We're not on a reticulated water supply, so basically pump water from the ground and assume and hope that it passing though a few kilometres of gravel will naturally filter out the shit.
Nonetheless, I'm thinking about buying a Berkey water filter for our drinking water.
Drinking "raw water" seems like marketing bullshit, but it's a bit worrying that we can't just wander up to drink out of most streams in NZ without worrying about giardia, salmonella etc.
40 years ago, when I was a kid we could.
These days we have to listen to fuckers like Nick Smith about degrading quality standards of water.
Pleased he's in the opposition.

@Chris-B I think we were much more likely to dodge any water quality issues back in the day.
The problems that did exist were much more localised... A family member who worked microbiology at MAF in the 1980's even then would lament a few farmers who got their home water supply tested as a 'last resort' - after months of recurring family illness - only to find there was a serious problem with the "but it can't be a problem, it's pure stream" water.
What leaves me shaking my head at the alternative health circles is that they'd willingly forgoing treated supplies. How many parts of the world (and rural NZ) don't even have the luxury of a choice...
The biggest problem is that it'll be their children who are put most at risk.

Victoria nears 'holy grail' of 95 per cent immunisation rate
The scientific message is finally starting to beat dangerous "myth-making", the Victorian Government says, as the state achieves its best ever immunisation coverage, with 94.9 per cent of five-year-olds up to date with their vaccinations.

Eat more chocolate: Contrary to expectations, eating chocolate every day protects the heart, helps you burn fat and reverses ageing in clinical trials (removes wrinkles)
Low cholesterol levels are a bigger killer than high cholesterol: If you are on cholesterol-lowering medication, read the latest scientific studies and ask your doctor about the risks of low cholesterol. “Paradoxically, participants who had greater reductions in serum cholesterol had a higher, rather than lower, risk of death…There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol…there was no evidence of benefit in the intervention group for coronary atherosclerosis or myocardial infarcts [heart attacks].” In other words, the lower your serum cholesterol, the higher and higher you raised your risk of a heart attack. “Results of a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials do not provide support for the traditional diet heart hypothesis,” the study reported.
Avoid multivitamin supplements – they are linked to a higher risk of cancer
Sunscreens don’t work against melanoma – the latest scientific reviews of sunscreens in 2016 have found they don’t protect against melanoma and probably never have, raising massive questions about misleading trade practice health claims.
Vitamin C may help kill cancer
Avemar does help kill cancer

Winger claimed that gardisal didn’t prevent cancer . Which is 100% true, it prevents hpv which leads to cancer . I suspect Wishart is applying the same layer of bullshit to his claims. Ie Sunscreen doesn’t prevent melanoma is prevents sunburn which can lead to melanoma. I hope no one dies as a result of listening to him but if you’re stupid enough to listen to someone as dishonest as him taking yourself out of the gene pool pushes the eventuality of the idiocracy out by a year or two.

Fark, check out the placenta specialist Georgie Jhet (https://www.instagram.com/georgiejhet/)
Why do so many new-age woo specialists look like skeletons with fake boobs attached? Surely the augmentation isn't in line with the healthy living mantra!!? ooooh unless they are filled with moonbeams and fairy tears!

@taniwharugby a homeopathic remedy? It isn't going to hurt her then: there'll be no trace of the actual saliva in the water.
