Waterheater at 130 means no need for filters, showered changes etc?!

I disagree with the doctor. We have been told that MAC is everywhere; in the soil, in the water, etc.
Can he guarantee that all municipalities across the U.S. are MAC free?
I like to wear a belt with my suspenders, so besides the 130 degrees, I soak my shower head in vinegar
every month.
As far as testing the water temperature, I bought a KIZEN Digital Meat Thermometer with Probe
on Amazon last year for $21. That design can be from $10 to $56 depending on who makes it.
Mine reads the temp in less than three seconds.

I had my municipal water tested (it comes from deep wells) and it is MAC-free. I guess I am a belt-or-suspenders person, so I rely on the 135F water heater and my test results. I don't soak, nor do I worry about soaking, sterilizing, etc.
Yes, MAC is in the soil, so I do take precautions in the garden, with masks or using help to handle digging, mulch, etc.
So fr this had=s served me well for 44 months and I have avoided becoming reinfected.

Harry, I agree. I don't understand why he said that. In the introduction to his newest book, published this year, Dr Falkinham says "drinking water systems and household plumbing are colonized by mycobacteria."
