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.

Food is best natural treatment. Foods affect polio and post-polio syndrome positively or adversely depending on their type.

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.
