Dear WTS.com,<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your concern. We are home. Art’s chest is very sore from the compressions that saved his life, bruised from the angioplasty that cleared out yet another clogged vein\/artery but incredibly grateful to feel anything.<\/p>\n

I am, today, finally breaking down, searching for the next step. While we were in the hospital we heard that another neighbor, a woman in her late seventies (who has been battling heart problems and, although she supports us and was part of the Nissenbaum study<\/a>, has not been active in the group to avoid stress) was flown off the island with spiking blood pressure issues.<\/p>\n

There are others living under the turbines that have heart problems.<\/p>\n

Now, I know there are people saying that Art had heart problems to begin with, but we moved here in 2000 to begin a new life—a recuperation after Art was put on disability from his company.<\/p>\n

For nine years we built our house, slowly (still happening), and our quality of life grew and grew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After fifteen months of life under the turbines everything has been destroyed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel that Art gave his life the other night. He died for these issues, for trying to bring light to the truth. It was luck and grace that the efforts to bring him back were successful.<\/p>\n

How many other people are suffering silently? How long will it take for the right “agencies” to see what is happening? Why are we being treated like lab rats<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I’m sorry if it appears I’m rambling or venting; I hope you understand. I just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts.<\/p>\n
