Thesis Research. How Many Of You Grew Up on Well Water? (AKA non tainted water)

You can count me as among those who grew up drinking well water

I grew up on well water. But that was before I knew that one should never drink any water. Not ever.
May West told us why we should never ever drink water. I'll quote her:
"Fish fuck in it."

you think well water is not tainted?

think again.

its usually unsafe to drink.

youre research is already flawed.

there is a whole multivariate matrix of stimuli which is at play with authority behaviors. most importantly cultural aspects of rural vs metropolitan lifestyles.

how do you propose to make a statistically significant correlation, there are simply too many variables that could be identified as possible correlations.

Well water drinker here as well. Fluoride, made dummies of many. I agree glp is probably half non fluoride drinkers from birth.

I grew up on well water, and my family has been in the well business for 100+ years. And I would agree with your thought that people who grew up on well water; as opposed to city water, have different traits. But, I would like to some numbers on it.

Also, when taking the survey for the thesis, I think it would be important to see if the well water people had Rock or Sand wells, as well as find out the depth of their well. Most people probably WON'T know this info. off the top of their heads, but i would say it's worth asking.

I think that if you were to get enough of a sample to measure these particular figures, I would be willing to bet that of the people with wells, those that have (i) rock wells; rather than sand wells, and/or (ii) deep wells (200+ ft.), are the most likely possess whatever trait(s) you choose to measure, that is more likely to be found in a well water person, than a city water person.

Thank you very much for your insight. Do you mind me asking why it is that depth and substance(rock via sand) Would make a difference in your opinion? Are you thinking that trace substances would be more likely to accumulate in sand and higher depths.

FYI, I am reading much on the work of viktor schuabuerger. Anyone how doesn't know his work, should read up.

Thanks again.

well water, limestone rocks from the ozarks, i think only 120 ft, and yes authority or whoever, whatever has always been in question...

but you may want to ask age and vaccinations can also have affect...

i still have my card, and it was only 8 shots...but i did drink alot of tasty well water.

Thank you to all who answered. I honestly have noticed a disproportionate correlation amongst us well water people, and our willingness to think critically about certain issues.

For my children's well being(pun intended) I think I have to get out of the city and let them have the opportunity to drink untainted water.

Thanks again. Op.

Yes, when I was a kid we had our own well, the water was quite hard, and I think it had a lot of iron in it.

They put city water lines through when I was a teenager. We still used well water for the hose in the yard though, as far as I know.

First, I think I should point out to you the basic differences between a Rock and Sand well. With sand wells,the water that you drink is actually located in sand. But when drilling to get to that the water, you will have to go through 'layers' of various different types of earth; such as sand/clay/mud/or rock, in order to get to the water(which depends largely on where you live). These 'layers' operate as a 'filter,' to different degrees of success, from pollutants that can/do contaminate well water, such as pollution caused by farming pesticides for example.

With Rock wells, they are generally deeper than sand wells, and you have to first go through sand/clay/mud until you get to the rock. Once you get to the rock, you have to change drill bits, so that you can hammer your way through the rock until you get to a strata that has enough water in it to get the gallons per minute (GPM)you need or want the well to have.

So, my thought is that the reason why people with deeper wells and rock wells would be most likely to differ from those with city water is that (i)the deeper you have to go to get to the water, the more likely you have to go through more 'layers' of various types of earth; such as sand/clay/mud/rock, all of which operate as a 'filter' to different degrees of success; and (ii) Rock, I would imagine, would be the best 'filter,' and clay being the second best.

Also, my 200+ ft. figure is pretty arbitrary I guess. Sand wells in the part of the country I am from can vary in depth from as shallow as 20ft. to as deep as over 300ft. 200-220 is my best guess of what the average depth of sand wells where I am at would be.

If you really wanted to get some specific figures on this stuff, DHEC makes Well drillers in my state have to keep and fill out a log of all the various types of earth they have to go through to get to the water for each well, and turn this log into them for their records. However, some potential drawbacks to acquiring/investigating such information would be (i)I don't know how accessible to the public this information would be, (ii) some of the people you would have in your sample would have had their wells drilled before DHEC starting making the well drillers keep this log (I think well drillers have had to do it here for about the last 12-15 years), but your state may be different.

I hope this made sense, and good luck!

I grew up on well water. Lived in a small town, most of us had well water. There is a difference for sure. Good post.

You do realize fluoride occurs naturally in ground water don't you? That includes well water!

I grew up on well water and I question them, but the cause and effect relationship will be hard to establish. Well water typically indicates a rural area. Rural areas contain a different demographic than say San Francisco.

I would suggest that the relationship is coincidental rather than cause and effect. Folks who grow up in city water tend to live in locations where the population is more dense and therefore more government solutions are sought to issues. Those who grew up where there are wells tend to live in rural areas where folks are more likely to be self dependent for many solutions. It is no coincidence, IMHO, that those living in rural areas tend to be more self reliant and less interested in government solutions.

well water
sand well
120 "

I am awakened ;)

<<<<well, well, well water.

I agree, determining a cause and effect relationship will be difficult. The rural v urban component will be a tough condition to sort through But man, the "well water variant " Seems to be quite stunning.

different type of Fluoride

I grew up drinking well water, sometimes it smelled like old eggs.

I'm not arguing the ill effects of water contamination, including fluoride poisoning, but,

Explain the convictions of a religious person who has only consumed well water as a primary source of hydration for the majority of his or her life. Look at civilizations as a historical example. Even before pollutants, people have always blindly followed kings, queens and even people who PROCLAIM a special connection to a divine essence.

Social engineering, in my opinion, is something you might want to explore.

Good luck with your paper.

Mostly city water. Various cities and states.

Calcium fluoride is found in well water in parts of the world. It's not the same as the pure shit Sodium Fluoride they intentionally poison us with. The free fluoride anion desperately wants to attache to a calcium ion. Hence leeching calcium from the body, calcifying your pineal gland, causing problems with serotonin production, sleep, apathy and general sheepness.

The naturally occurring calcium fluoride passes through the body with ease.

I grew up on well water. It contained high concentrations of floride. So much that many of my friends and neighbors had brown pits in thier teeth from the floride.

Well, this is a deep subject...

It pails in comparison to my stuff.

Well water here.

Most city dwellers live in fear. Safety in numbers like herds of Zebra being circled by lions. Trust government.

Most country people are brave. Willing to defend themselves. Question authority.

Well except for when i was stationed at Lejeune, where they gave us toxic pond scum fecal fluoride shit to drink, startpage that one for your study. I've always questioned government even though i attended public city schools. Saw molten steel pour out of the south tower before it collapsed and didn't think twice about leaving the MC early over some drinking BS. I have suspected this issue for a while, some people, you just can't reach, maybe this is why.

Great thread op

I think this thread is about washed out...

yep. I had nothing but delicious clean healthy non flouridated well water for most of my life.

I think you are right. The flouride makes people into dumb sheeple. Exactly as the powers that be intended.

I lived in a city for a few years and the water was terrible. I had to get a filtration system to survive on that sewage.
