Can I drink milk that's been pasteurized and homogenized without boiling it first? Also, during the summer, is it safe to consume packaged milk directly without boiling? I'm a bit unsure about this and would really appreciate your advice.

Can you please let me know more about Revital and if there are better supplement options out there?

I've been dealing with a viral fever for over a week now, and it's stubbornly stuck around 100F. Despite taking pyrigesic 650 mg and some antibiotics, there hasn't been any improvement. Why isn't my fever going down? Should I be worried about anything else?
