A very interesting read a friend sent me.
When we speak of vaccines, everyone loves to use the "Polio Vaccine" as an example of how well they work..... But is this actually true? 👀
Let's go over some coincidental facts.....👇
Polio is a nickname for poliomyelitis, which means inflammation of the grey matter of the spinal cord. If you get a lesion on your spinal cord, that part of your body may develop paralysis. This disease nearly always occurred in children, which is why it was called infantile paralysis for decades.
Polio was basically non-existent before the 1800’s. You don’t really see it in medical literature until the 1890’s when it began to appear in epidemic form. As it turns out, the paralysis of poliomyelitis can be caused by many different things. Several viruses can cause it, as can several different bacterial infections. Surprisingly pesticides can also cause it. 🤔
Studies were conducted in the late 1800’s with a popular pesticide called Paris Green. When animals consumed too much of this pesticide, it paralysed them in their “hind quarters” just like what was happening with children. Scientists did autopsies on these animals and found lesions in their spinal cords, and pronounced they had died from polio-from pesticide poisoning.

The pesticide contained a metal called arsenic, and may explain why parents originally referred to polio as teething paralysis. A popular medical treatment at the time was “teething powders”, a concoction given to infants who were teething. They contained massive amounts of similar metal - mercury. Teething powders became popular in the early 1800’s and appeared about the same time you started seeing isolated cases of polio. Coincidence?

It became clear that certain viruses and bacteria could also cause paralysis, but only if they got inside the nervous system. For all of human history, these microbes had never caused problems, but starting in the late 1800’s, they suddenly gained the ability to get into the nervous system. 🤔 This likely had something to do with a new pesticide that was invented in 1892 - lead arsenate.

It was a combination of lead and arsenic sprinkled and sprayed onto many fruits and vegetables that were later eaten by the population. It’s popularity was due to the fact it couldn’t easily be washed off with water - an advantage for farmers who didn’t have to re-spray after a storm, but a disadvantage for mothers trying to clean their children’s food. It appears that not only did this metallic pesticide create paralysis through direct poisoning, it caused a leaky gut in children which allowed different viruses and bacteria to pass through the intestines and into the spinal cord.

In the 1940’s, at the end of WW2, a new pesticide called DDT began being used by nearly everyone and polio became much worse. Unlike lead arsenate which was sprayed onto food, DDT was sprayed directly onto children in an attempt to protect them from flies and mosquitoes. Ironically, it was thought that these insects could transmit polio, and DDT was sprayed onto children to prevent polio. By 1952 people began to stop using DDT because many insects had already started to develop a resistance to it. As parents also began to suspect it was more toxic than they had been told, cases of infantile paralysis, or polio, began to plummet.

Oddly, 1952 was the peak for polio cases in the United States - not just the kind caused by poliovirus, but the paralysis due to all other viruses, bacteria and direct pesticide poisoning. They all began to disappear as DDT stoppped being sprayed on nearly everything.

Today, most people, including doctors, will tell you that Polio was eradicated because of the invention of the Salk polio vaccine, but this is simply not true....
The first polio vaccine worked very poorly, and most of the public didn’t even get it till years later. It was officially introduced in 1955, but was quickly withdrawn because it was inadvertently CAUSING paralysis. Years later, many got the different, presumably safer version of the polio vaccine, the Sabin oral polio vaccine, which came out in 1961. By then, polio had all but disappeared from the United States. As it turns out, even the new vaccine wasn’t really needed. 🤷🏻♀️

All of these facts show Polio had appeared suddenly in the 1890’s alongside the introduction of the pesticide, lead arsenate, and suddenly disappeared in the early 1950’s alongside the slow abandonment of DDT.
But in 1956 the American Medical Association mandated that all licensed medical doctors could no longer diagnose polio. (Hmmm 🚩🤔) All former polio-like disorders would now be called Guillian-Barre Syndrome, AFP (acute flaccid paralysis), Bell's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, ALS, (Lou-Gehrig's Disease), MS, MD etc.
Today, so many people praise the polio vaccine and truly believe it saved so many, but when you look at the overall facts, not everything is what it appears to be. Sometimes we have to use our discernment and put together the puzzle if we want to see the larger picture.
Remember, nobody is gonna care about your health quite like you.
