@import url(http://www.homestead.com/~media/elements/Text/font_styles.css); There are approximately 1.1 million individuals in the U. S. who survived the great polio epidemics of the 1940s and 50s. While most polio survivors recovered a high degree of function, a great number were left with permanent, severe paralysis. The Polio Survivors Association was formed in 1975 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation to promote the well being and improve the quality of life for these severely disabled polio survivors. The Polio Survivors Association concentrates its efforts in these main areas: To ensure that respirator dependent polio survivors living in Los Angeles County can remain safely in their own homes, we obtain and maintain electric generators for those individuals who would be jeopardized by an interruption of electrical service. We work with local and State agencies to obtain funding for adaptive equipment, assistive devices, and home care expenses. We work with other organizations and agencies to promote public policies that encourage home care for people with disabilities. Polio survivors were the first large group to attempt home-based, long-term care despite very severe disability, often including respirator dependence. We know that this can be both safe and cost effective. The Polio Survivors Association is dedicated to education, advocacy, and support. We are not a membership organization, but encourage polio survivors to join support groups in their area. Many people do not remember the great polio epidemics of the 1940s and 50s. The Polio Survivors Association was formed to help those who can never forget.

Polio, also called poliomyelitis is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by one of three related viruses. Polio is a very serious disease, which can lead to paralysis or even death. Once a person is exposed to polio, it usually takes about three to five days for symptoms to appear. In about 95 percent of polio cases, infection from the polio virus causes no symptoms or serious effects. In about 5 percent of cases, the polio virus manifests in a mild form ( abortive polio ) with flu-like symptoms, in a nonparalytic form (aseptic meningitis) or in a severe form called paralytic polio . People who have minor or nonparalytic forms recover completely. Paralytic Polio? Paralytic polio is the most serious type of polio. Paralytic polio causes paralysis. In paralytic polio, the polio virus invades the central nervous system the spinal cord and the brain and may cause weakness, paralysis, serious breathing problems or death. Paralytic polio begins like milder forms of polio, however, it usually causes severe muscle pain in addition to other symptoms. Paralysis usually happens within the first week. The individual may lose the ability to use of one or both legs, arms, and may not be able to breathe without the help of a machine. Recovery varies from person to person, but people who are paralyzed by polio will have some weakness in an arm or leg for the rest of their lives.

Poliomyelitis (Polio) What is poliomyelitis (polio)? Poliomyelitis is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by three types of poliovirus. The poliovirus is a virus most recognized for its destruction to the nervous system causing paralysis. The majority of individuals who are infected with polio, however, have no symptoms and few have mild symptoms. Of those persons that do acquire the infection, 2 percent or fewer may develop paralytic disease. Since the advent of the polio vaccine during the early 1950's, infections from the poliovirus have nearly been eradicated. Nearly 50 years ago in 1952, there were nearly 58,000 known cases of polio in the United States. Over 1/3 of these individuals developed paralytic polio. Of the 1/3 infected with paralytic polio, 3000 died. In the US there have been no known infectious or "wild" cases of polio since 1979. In countries that are poor, underdeveloped and do not have access to the vaccine, polio is still a concern especially for infants and children.

A health official told Dawn on that a propaganda campaign launched by local clerics, spearheaded by Maulana Fazlullah was the main stumbling block in carrying out the campaign against the crippling disease. At least 2,400 people refused to let their children be administered polio drops on the first day of the campaign. Local clerics called upon the people through their FM radio stations that polio drops were a tool being used by western countries, especially the US, to make the next generation of Muslims sexually impotent, said the health official associated with the campaign. He said that on the last day of the campaign, people in Dewlai, Koza Bandai, Bara Bandai, Dherai, Qambar, Charbagh and Guli Bagh villages of the Swat district denied medical teams access to their areas.

Swedish NY Sun title: "Conspiracy Spreads Polio"] A worldwide campaign begun in 1988 to eradicate the polio infection was on the verge of success when, early in 2003, a conspiracy theory took hold of the Muslim population in northern Nigeria. That conspiracy theory has single-handedly returned polio to epidemic proportions. The theory's source seems to be a physician and the president of Nigeria's Supreme Council for Shari'a Law, Ibrahim Datti Ahmed, 68. Dr. Ahmed, an Islamist, accuses Americans of lacing the vaccine with an anti-fertility agent that sterilizes children (or, in an alternate theory, it infects them with AIDS) and considers them, according to John Murphy of the Baltimore Sun , "the worst criminals on Earth Even Hitler was not as evil as that."
