A PARALYZING FEAR : The Story of Polio in America A Paralyzing Fear is not just a film about polio. It is about the isolation of the victims of the disease, of the shunning of their families.... It is about the human intuition that must lead scientific discovery, and it is about the national momentum that must be galvanized to conquer an unseen enemy. Ultimately, it is a film about what happens when we begin to fear each other, and our transcendence from that fear. NINA GILDEN SEAVEY Director, Producer, Writer My name is virus poliomyelitis. I cause a disease which you call infantile paralysis. I consider myself quite an artist sort of a sculptor. I specialize in the grotesques, twisting and deforming human bodies. That's why I'm called 'The Crippler.' return to PBS film info A Paralyzing Fear polio info promotions

Nearly 450 million children were vaccinated in 1997, WHO said in its annual report to be released Sunday. But the program is in danger of losing momentum and becoming a victim of its own success, said Dr. Harry Hull , who directs WHO's global eradication effort. "It's like climbing a mountain and it gets steeper and steeper and steeper the closer we get to the end," he said. "We've made fabulous progress. The number of cases worldwide is down by 90 percent. Polio is totally gone from the Americas. It's gone from Europe. It's now gone from China. It's concentrated to south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa right now. So we're winning the battle but we've still got a long way to go." CNN's Richard Blystone reports One problem is money. Hull said there was a $60 million shortfall in the program's budget. Rotary International has pledged $400 million for the campaign, but WHO says more money is needed.

Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) is a condition that can strike polio survivors anywhere from 10 to 40 years after their recovery from polio. PPS is caused by the death of individual nerve terminals in the motor units that remain after the initial polio attack. Symptoms include fatigue, slowly progressive muscle weakness, muscle and joint pain, and muscular atrophy. The severity of PPS depends upon how seriously the survivors were affected by the first polio attack. Doctors estimate the incidence of PPS at about 25 percent of the survivor population. The only way to be sure a person has PPS is through a neurological examination aided by other laboratory studies (for example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neuroimaging, electrophysiological studies, and muscle biopsies or spinal fluid analysis).

A Brief History of Polio From Ancient Egypt to the 20th Century Polio has probably caused paralysis and death for most of human history. The oldest clearly identifiable reference to paralytic poliomyelitis is an Egyptian stele (stone engraving) over 3,000 years old. Cases of poliomyelitis tended to be rare in ancient times, though, as sanitation was generally poor. With improvements in waste disposal and the widespread use of indoor plumbing in the 20th century, epidemics of polio began to occur with regularity in the developed world, primarily in cities during the summer. Because sewage was dumped away from the drinking water supply (a development which helps combat a number of other diseases, including cholera), babies were much less likely to be infected with polio and gain protective immunity. As the children got older and began playing with others, swimming in public pools, and going to school, they were more likely to be exposed to the virus, which was then more likely to cause paralytic poliomyelitis. H.L. Mencken writes of polio epidemics occurring virtually every summer in Baltimore during his childhood in the late 1890s, and this tragic cycle continued through the 1950s. Though the virus only paralyzes about 1% of the individuals it infects (most infections are

From POLIO Electronic Discussion Group Archive you can SUBSCRIBE and you can read some of the previous postings. I found this group late May 1997. What a blessing. Helped me learn and now I have a whole new set of friends! Thanks! On August 27, 1997, I had my first appointment with Dr.Susan Perlman, neurologist, UCLA, and had my diagnosis of PPS confirmed. NOW , I can move forward to living better...knowing what I have and learning all I need to know! Just one day at a time...me and my LORD and other survivors and friends!

var TlxPgNm='index'; Come in, Relax,... Let's talk....... Who has a Disability? Index This trailor was our original solution to getting around with two scooters. We have since then bought a Ford F150 and replaced the tailgate with a commercial quality electric lift usually used by agencies like the Sheriff's Department. We will supply a picture as soon as we can borrow a camera. We had many reason's for making this our choice after looking into all the other ramps, vans, lifts available on the market. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to drop us a note. Welcome to the Who has a Disability? web site. Let us explore the question "Who has a Disability" with an open mind and heart. Is someone disabled only if you can see that they have a physical limitation? Is someone disabled by something you can not readily see or perceive? If you take a very broad brush and label anyone who has a limitation of any kind, either mentally, physically or emotionally, then everyone is disabled on some level. Why do some people feel uncomfortable if they see someone using a "tool" to help them walk or get from point A to point B? Everyone uses tools to get a job done, don't they? If someone has a physical limitation, does that automatically mean they have a less than average mental capacity? Who and what defines an individual's worth to society? We hope to explore these questions and many more with you and will look forward to hearing your thoughts on the subjects as time goes on.

Go to subsequent clarification to this article. This article is part of a collection of material on Polio vaccines and the origin of AIDS which in turn is part of Brian Martin's website on suppression of dissent University of California San Francisco, Mission Center, 1855 Folsom Street, Suite 566, San Francisco California 94143-0286, USA. *California Pacific Medical Center, California Campus, 3700 California Street, PO Box 7999, San Francisco, California 94120, USA (Correspondence to RBS). Abstract Although mass vaccination programs have resulted in the eradication of a number of human infectious diseases, vaccine contamination has been a persistent concern. In particular, it is now known that the early polio vaccines were contaminated with at least one monkey virus, SV40. The transfer of monkey viruses to man via contaminated vaccines is particularly relevant to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), since the causative agent of AIDS, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is thought to be derived from a simian precursor virus. Furthermore, human infection with this virus appears to be a relatively recent event. We hypothesize that the AIDS pandemic may have originated with a contaminated polio vaccine that was administered to inhabitants of Equatorial Africa from 1957 to 1959. The mechanism of evolution of HIV from this vaccine remains to be determined.
