I've been wondering about Polio and President FDR

Is there an Autoimmune Aspect to Polio?

He was president from 1933 until he died in 1945 

from a cerebral hemorrhage

(Since there was no autopsy - how do they know that?)

 or heart attack ... is sometimes said

The pattern of symptoms 

Looks like advanced CFIDS

Maybe FDR didn't have polio, scientists say

Writing in the Journal of Medical Biography, pediatrician Dr. Armond Goldman and colleagues said some of Roosevelt's symptoms did resemble those of polio, which is caused by a virus that can leave crippling side effects. They include his fever when he first became ill and the permanent paralysis of some lower muscles.

But others "were consistent with paralytic poliomyelitis that effects motor neurons but were typical of Guillian-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disease that damages sensory and motor nerves," Goldman said in a statement. For instance, FDR was 39 when the disease struck -- polio usually affects younger people -- his paralysis affected both sides of the body evenly, he had partial facial paralysis early on, numbness, extreme prolonged pain and bladder and bowel dysfunction.
Guillian-Barré syndrome is an inflammatory affliction in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nerves — those nerves beyond the brain and spinal cord. The disorder causes severe weakness and numbness in the legs and arms , upper body and face. The muscles used for eye movement, speaking, chewing and swallowing also may become weak and paralyzed.

Every year an estimated one to four in every 100,000 persons is affected by the disorder, which can strike anyone regardless of race or age. It does, however, appear to be more of a risk as people age. It may occur days or weeks after a viral infection such as influenza or diarrhea and could be triggered by pregnancy or a medical procedure such as minor surgery. Because the cause of the disorder is unknown, there's no way to prevent it from occurring  Source  And  CNN  October 31, 2003

WFAA excerpt- A virus that contaminated polio vaccines in the 1950s appears to be associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, researchers from Dallas and Houston reported last week. The virus, called SV40, is a monkey virus that contaminated vaccines from 1955 to 1963. It had previously been linked to some brain and bone tumors, but its association with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had remained unclear.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a malignancy of certain white blood cells. Experts have been puzzled to see the disease move from relative obscurity to become the fifth most common cancer in the United States. It is the disease that killed Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and King Hussein of Jordan.

Besides in USA and in Britain ... having an 'epidemic' of diabetes & obesity ... is that also true for France, Germany, Poland, Russia?

They say NHL has increased by 50% ... way too dramatic to be a hereditary thing alone ... SO ... since I do suspect this ...

And also Brain tumors ..

Are these also in these countries considered dramatically increased by the epidemiologists?

Reply from a French journalist:

About your question on obesity : yes, it's dramatically increasing in France too. But it 's very difficult to establish a link with toxic exposure on an epidemiological scale.

Nevertheless, I'm convinced that metabolic features (changes in cholesterol and lipid profile, changes in glucose uptake and cell use, mitochondrial diseases and so on) are among main underestimated issue of 2-BE.

It would behoove someone of influence to pay attention to this chemical. 

I just recognize it, that's all.
Like someone from NASA recognized the pattern of something in his field

 Is there help?
