Polio & Post-polio syndrome
Natural treatment & cure
 

What are polio and post-polio syndrome?

 

Polio is a contagious viral disease that can sometimes cause paralysis, difficulty breathing and sometimes death. It is rare in the western world, but the polio virus affects children and adults in other parts of the world. Before developing a polio vaccine, polio used to spread during the summer months when people consume lots of sugar and sweets in the form of ice cream.

Post-polio syndrome

Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that some people who had polio in the past experience in later years. The polio virus lies dormant for years and reactivates at old age and at times of compromised immunity.

Traditional polio and post-polio syndrome treatments

 

Polio

Vaccine. Made from an inactivated polio virus. Very effective but only for people who have never had polio prior to getting the vaccine. Some people experience chronic unexplained illnesses (with recurring rashes and fevers, joint and muscle aches, etc.) after receiving the polio vaccine. 

When polio strikes

There is no cure for polio in traditional medicine. The focus is on comfort, recovery and preventing complications. Supportive treatments:

● Antibiotics for secondary infections (not for polio itself)

● Analgesics for pain

● Portable ventilators (to assist breathing)

● Moderate exercise (physiotherapy) to prevent deformity and to strengthen muscles

Post-polio syndrome

Treatment to manage symptoms of post-polio syndrome. There is no specific traditional treatment for post-polio syndrome.

● Energy conservation. Frequent rest and avoiding fatigue. Assistive devices such as a cane, walker, wheelchair or motor scooter

● Physical therapy. Exercises to strengthen muscles without fatigue. Swimming and water aerobics

● Occupational therapy

● Speech therapy

● Sleep apnea treatment.

● Medications. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Numerous drugs, pyridostigmine (Mestinon), amantadine (Symmetrel), modafinil (Provigil). Immunoglobulin to reduce pain.

 

Available Polio & post-polio syndrome treatments can be classified as medicine of the first, second and third degree among the seven levels of medicine. The current Polio & post-polio syndrome treatments are expensive, not always effective and some with side effects.

Polio and post-polio syndrome in alternative natural medicine

  According to the natural law of duality (where expansion = yin, contraction = yang), polio and post-polio syndrome are expansive illnesses (infection, tends to spread). Polio is triggered by a virus or a crisis. But the underlying cause of polio and post-polio syndrome, like most illnesses, is the accumulation of faulty eating habits that violate the natural law of duality and produce imbalance and lowered immunity. Polio is an illness of the second stage and post-polio syndrome is an illness of the fourth stage among the seven stages of illness. Polio and post-polio syndrome are directly related to the liver, so the kidneys-lungs should also be considered in natural treatment. Kidneys-lungs are mother-father of the liver in the five elements theory of natural medicine.

Polio and post-polio syndrome treatment and natural alternative cure

 

Food is best natural treatment. Foods affect polio and post-polio syndrome positively or adversely depending on their type. Foods that restore natural balance cure polio and halt then reverse post-polio syndrome naturally without side effects. Polio and post-polio syndrome are expansive, and foods that cause expansion (Sugar, ice cream, parsley, lettuce and vitamin C, etc.) will make polio and post-polio syndrome worse. Foods that cause contraction will naturally cure polio and post-polio syndrome. With the right diet, polio and post-polio syndrome can be cured. The right foods will:

● Halt the progression of polio

Eliminate the polio virus completely from the body to prevent any post-polio syndrome complications.

● Partially repair the damage already done to the nervous system.

It takes from a week to several weeks to cure polio and several months to cure post-polio syndrome.

Healthy mind in a healthy body   The seven conditions of good health include mental well being.

Polio, post-polio syndrome and macrobiotics

 

Curing polio or post-polio syndrome does not require eating Japanese food

Most people believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. Macrobiotics is not just a diet. When we understand macrobiotics, we understand the laws of nature that govern our health and our being.

The macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

If you have polio or post-polio syndrome and tried macrobiotics, particularly the #7 diet, but it did not work for you, then the foods you selected are not appropriate for your polio or post-polio syndrome. Macrobiotics principles, used correctly, help select the foods to eat and the foods to avoid (some permanently and some temporarily) for treating and curing polio or post-polio syndrome. Yin foods for Yang illnesses, Yang foods for Yin illnesses.

Polio, post-polio syndrome and vitamin and mineral supplements

  Food is best natural treatment. With a carefully designed diet for polio or post-polio syndrome, there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some supplements can aggravate polio and post-polio syndrome when taken randomly. Example, Vitamin C & iron can have severe adverse effects on polio and actually speed the progression of polio and post-polio syndrome.
