Polio

The information in this page about polio, natural medicine, treatment and cure is NOT a sales pitch for any drug, supplement, herbal formula or even an alleged magic potion from an exotic faraway land. Food is always best medicine. No chemical drugs or expensive and dangerous surgeries, not even herbal concoctions. Just the right diet for treating and curing many cases of polio. Learn how.

Polio is caused by a viral infection that develops quickly and damages the central nervous system. Any body that is afflicted with polio has very low immunity level and low reserve of minerals especially sodium, the main mineral in the body that provides strength and immunity to most disease. 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. Sugar is the main antagonist to the body immunity level.

Luckily an effective polio vaccine has been developed. But for the people who are not vaccinated and get polio, the polio traditional treatment outcome is uncertain, at best. Available Polio treatments and vaccines can be classified as medicine of the first, second and third degree among the seven levels of medicine. The current Polio treatments are expensive, not always offering a cure and have harmful side effects, with the exception of the polio vaccine for the people who have not already been infected.

As with all infections, polio is an extreme YIN illness. YIN is expansive and all infections tend to spread, a YIN characteristic. Polio is a serious illness that can go into remission then relapses later in life and cause serious damage to the central nervous system including paralysis and sometimes death. Because it reaches the central nervous system that is deeply embedded in the body, it is classified as an extreme yin illness. You can read more about the relation between Polio and YIN and YANG in the page about macrobiotics and yin and yang in everything.

Food is best medicine. Polio is treatable with the right diet especially in its early stages. The sooner the dietary treatment is begun, the better the chances are for a recovery.

The purpose of following a diet for this serious illness is to:

● Quickly halt the progression of polio

● Gradually eliminate the polio virus completely from the body to prevent any polio relapses in the future. Read more about natural antibiotics.

In the page natural antibiotics you will find a comparison between chemical and natural antibiotics regarding effectiveness (against bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungus, etc.), cost, availability and side effects. Also, please read the article imagine!

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure Polio you do not have to eat Japanese foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what eating and other habits have led you to develop Polio or any other illness. Macrobiotics will then help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure Polio. Read If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods? If you are a polio patient and tried macrobiotics (particularly the #7 diet) but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read: The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

It is true that food is best medicine for polio. But some foods help cure polio especially in its early stages, and some make the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the natural treatment of polio.

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for polio there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can have severe adverse effects on a polio patient when taken randomly or in large doses, and we recommend against taking them during the treatment phase. As mentioned earlier, polio is a YIN illness. Vitamin C, which is considered a healthy supplement, is also a YIN vitamin. That is why vitamin C will actually exacerbate the condition of a polio patient. And beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.

Are you skeptical of this treatment and cure for polio? This is natural, but please read: back to the roots.

This is not a sales pitch for an expensive herbal concoction or an exotic supplement

Principles explained above are the laws of nature, and illness is simply the cumulative result of violating these laws. Hippocrates said: Thy food shall be thy remedy. From the Chinese book of internal medicine Nei Ching: What can not be cured with medicine, can only be cured with food. Food is your best medicine if the illness is Polio or almost anything else.
