[/quote] ^ THIS ^ They've killed us all. I've been ghosted and banned every time I tried posting about it. Nat Geo did a documentary on us last month. Lawyers in the suit won't even call you back. My wife has three of the illnesses, has had surgeries, etc, etc. I have two, maybe more. What are they doing with the money? They sure as heck don't want any clients. We are the walking dead. It's not just one town, water for a 50 mile radius is full of the crap. Same problems in Delaware. Google up 'see eight', except use the letter C and the number 8, together, like seeeight. (trying not to be banned) [/quote] That sucks, man. I hope things work out in the end for you. [/quote] Thank you. Oh I'm sure it will work out, I'll get a box, a hole in the ground, and a headstone, then the suffering is over for me. The doctors don't even know what to do with us, besides give us a flu shot, a pneumonia shot, and some statins. I like how they said this stuff "seeped" into the ground. Like it was a bit of a drip or something. No, first they pumped it into a landfill on top of a hill. But today, I can take a pic of the waterfall going into the Ohio river where the stuff has been flowing for decades. The NatGeo program outlines how this really began, but kinda stops short of the present story. It began with the landfill on the hill, the stuff coming out of the hill into a creek, the farmers cows getting sick, the farmer getting sick, and dying. The coverups, the runarounds. Love Canal was an ice cream social. [/quote]

From California to Flint, Michigan and New Jersey, harmful toxic chemicals linked to cancer can be found in water supplies of multiple US states and in the tap water of 15 million people, according to a new study.
The perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in question come from everyday products including cookware, outdoor clothing, food packaging and firefighting foam, and were detected in record high levels in the water supply in 27 states.
"It's a much larger number than we thought before," said Bill Walker, managing editor of Environmental Working Group who joined with Northeastern University in Boston to conduct the research.
The team's findings came from analysis of federal drinking water data and publicly documented legal cases of toxin pollution and documented in an interactive map.....
