4 Children diagnosed with Cancer during Drought of 2008, same Drought as my 2 Labradors,
my son Ben & me. All four diagnosed within 9 months 10 days of each other. Live 7 miles
North of us in Rural area. The last one diagnosed the day before I had first four Squamous
Cell Skin Cancers removed.
Howard & I bought Water Filters for these children.
Hoping to Break the Cancer Cycle one (or FIVE) Water Filters at a time!!

Waycross, Ga, an hour Southeast of Irwin County (my county). June 1-July 28, 2015
4 Children Diagnosed within 58 Days. 3 with Rhabdomyosarcomas, 1 with Ewing’s Sarcoma.
4 Children Diagnosed with Rare Sarcomas within 58 days. 3 with Rhabdomyosarcomas.
Moms & Grandmothers came together expressing concern to First Coast News
Reporter Ken Amaro. Ga EPD had said people needed to cut back on smoking…(Same
thing they told me) We “complained” so now CDC is investigating. Silent Disaster
(Moms, Grandmothers, Friends) also raised monies to do our own Air & Water testing.
Child Diagnosed with DIPG

First Test-Mar 10, 2016
Radiation Testing Tap…
First Test-Sep 26, 2016
Second Test-Oct 3, 2016
Recently found Uranium “again”
Lead 210
Polonium 210
Found Uranium “again”, Lead 210 &
Polonium 210. Gross mrem/y should be
no more than 4.. Amounts indicate people
in home will receive this much. Max/Min

Ag & Enviro Svcs Lab at UGA agrees that the Drought caused greater problem
with Arsenic & Uranium in Georgia’s Water. (Makes great Medical Office Handout)

Chronic arsenic exposure causes cutaneous effects like
hyperkeratosis, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension,
ischemic heart disease, non-cirrhotic portal hypertension,
hepatomegally, peripheral neuropathy, respiratory involvement,
bad obstetrical outcome, hematological disturbances, and
diabetes mellitus.

Most of these genes had promoters that were hypermethylated in women with
skin lesions (99 %), and several genes had been associated with iAs-induced
diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The
cancer-associated genes included a “tumor suppressorome” complex containing
17 genes known to be silenced in various human cancers. Worldwide, the
most prevalent source of arsenic exposure in humans is drinking water
contaminated with inorganic arsenic (iAs), which exists in two oxidation states,
namely pentavalent arsenate (iAsV) and trivalent .
