Again, however, the scientific community overall stops short of calling these factors A cause or THE cause of disease. >> I don't understand why if there are 30 studies which confirm an association between PD and pesticides in well water that they don't alert the general public to this fact. Back when my family was drinking water out of a well that was less than a foot away from a farmer's field they probably were unaware of the association, but now that they know why aren't they trying to protect other people from going through the same heartache that we are. It makes me angry to think that right now there could be thousands of people drinking well water that could trigger such a terrible disease just because they are uninformed about the dangers. Kathy
