Poliomyelitis
It is widely held that polio - a disease that is hyped to be one of the most insidious “viruses” ever discovered, and highly contagious - has been virtually eradicated from our world, thanks to the intelligence of science and the miracle of vaccines. There is definitive proof that, A) it is not a virus, nor is it contagious, and B) is still an issue worldwide under different guises.
The following information is just a taste of what one can find when one looks, and taken from a variety of resources that will be listed at the end. We encourage you to do your homework and share [if you dare] your findings with those around you who can hear.
Arsenic, Lead, DDT, & BHC - The Gruesome Foursome
In the name of eradicating “pests” that tend to want to eat our crops and hang out in our homes, chemicals were combined to solve the problem. They seemed to work very well on the targets but there were other results, sometimes not so immediately obvious. Neurological damage began to manifest in humans and animals that had never been witnessed before, sometimes including sudden paralysis.
A pesticide common in the 1800s called Paris Green, was a combination of copper and arsenic or lead and arsenic - some of the most toxic substances known to humankind - used as a dye in many items including wallpaper and paint; also used as an insecticide, causing neurological damage and organ failure in the bugs - the same as polio symptoms. Heavy metal poisoning manifests lesions on neurological tissues – same as polio.
Historically, people have found their children paralyzed in and around apple orchards that had been sprayed with Paris Green.
In 1921 President Roosevelt became paralyzed over night while at a summer retreat, which contained many crops, including apple orchards. He also swam the day prior in a bay that was heavily polluted by industrial agricultural runoff.
In 1929, almost 30 million pounds of lead arsenate or calcium arsenate were sprayed in the fields and orchards of America.
These central nervous system (CNS) poisons were the major pesticides used during the several centuries previous to the advent of the organochlorines in the early 1940s.
Dr. Biskind stated: “In 1945, against the advice of investigators who had studied the pharmacology of the compound and found it dangerous for all forms of life, DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) was released in the United States and other countries for general use by the public as an insecticide.”
BHC (benzene hexachloride), a persistent, organochlorine pesticide, was produced in 1945-1954 at quantities similar to DDT and is several times more lethal than DDT, in terms of LD50 (lethal dosage required to kill 50 percent of a test population).
Dr. Ralph Scobey and Dr. Morton Biskind testified in front of the U.S Congress in 1951 that the paralysis around the country known as polio was being caused by industrial poisons and that a virus theory was purposely fabricated by the chemical industry and the government to deflect litigation away from both parties.
“These four chemicals were not selected arbitrarily. These are representative of the major pesticides in use during the last major polio epidemic. They persist in the environment as neurotoxins that cause polio-like symptoms, polio-like physiology, and were dumped onto and into human food at dosage levels far above that approved by the FDA. They directly correlate with the incidence of various neurological diseases called “polio” before 1965. They were utilized, according to Biskind, in the “most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history.”
There are some sources that claim that polio was on the decline before they ever developed a vaccine, but since vaccine makers do what they do, they started experimenting to see what they could come up with. The results were less than stellar but they claimed success anyway.
Also, after the second world war, the military had an excess of the chemicals used for bioweapons and wanted to find a use for them. They re-purposed them as pesticides, fertilizers, and even medicines. Many of them are still being used today.
The Cutter Incident - How America's First Polio Vaccine Led to a Growing Vaccine Crisis
"The first polio vaccine was worked on by Dr. Jonas Salk and human experiments using this vaccine were conducted purposely on orphans in government and church run institutions because they were vulnerable and didn’t require any parental consent signatures, as they had no parents. The vaccine was “declared safe” by “medicine” (as they always are even though that vaccine was killing and paralyzing monkeys in test trials)."
"In April 1955 more than 200,000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. That vaccine gave polio to 40,000 orphans, permanently paralyzed hundreds and killed at least 10 children. All injuries and deaths, under reported of course, by the same authorities who orchestrated the atrocity. This was called The Cutter Incident."
"In 1956 the AMA (American Medical Association) instructed each licensed medical doctor that they could no longer classify polio as polio, or their license to practice would be terminated. Any paralysis was now to be diagnosed as AFP (acute flaccid paralysis) - MS; MD; Bell’s Palsy; cerebral palsy; ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease); Guillian-Barre (GBS); meningitis; provocation poliomyelitis; transverse myelitis; viral or “aseptic” meningitis; Chinese paralytic syndrome; chronic fatigue syndrome; etc. Polio also falls under the AFP umbrella."
"Before the vaccine was licensed, polio diagnoses were made clinically and accepted from around the nation, duly reported to the American public annually as polio, no lab analysis required. After licensing, only the CDC was, and still is, allowed to issue confirmations of paralytic polio. All suspected cases had to be sent to them for analysis and testing."
"Over the last sixty years in the U.S., more than a million cases of what would have been diagnosed as polio, pre-vaccine (same symptoms) were given different labels. Of the 35,000 cases of polio reported on average in the late 1940s and early 1950s, only 15,000 were paralytic. The reduction to 2,500 cases of paralytic polio in 1957 and the complete disappearance of all the non-paralytic cases was a direct result of the diagnostic changes."
“It was even known by 1945 that DDT is stored in the body fat of mammals and appears in the milk. With this foreknowledge the series of catastrophic events that followed the most intensive campaign of mass poisoning in known human history, should not have surprised the experts. Yet, far from admitting a causal relationship so obvious that in any other field of biology it would be instantly accepted, virtually the entire apparatus of communication, lay and scientific alike, has been devoted to denying, concealing, suppressing, distorting and attempts to convert into its opposite, the overwhelming evidence. Libel, slander and economic boycott have not been overlooked in this campaign.” ~ Dr. Morton Biskind
"After SV40 (Simian Virus #40) [so-named since it was the 40th simian virus found in monkey kidney cells, which are used to produce the oral polio vaccine] was originally detected in the Salk and Sabin vaccines that had been administered to millions of children around the world, the scientific community held its breath and wondered if these children would be stricken with cancer. Indeed, the pediatric cancer rate continued to climb through the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. But, the few epidemiological studies that looked for a direct link between SV40 and human cancer provided inconsistent conclusions."
In 1960, the pharmaceutical company, Merck & Co. wrote to the U.S. Surgeon General:
“Our scientific staff have emphasized to us that there are a number of serious scientific and technical problems that must be solved before we could engage in large-scale production of live polio virus vaccine. Most important among these is the problem of extraneous contaminating simian viruses that may be extremely difficult to eliminate, and which may be difficult if not impossible to detect at the present stage of the technology.”
"During the polio epidemic in the 40s and 50s in the U.S., one doctor, Fred Klenner, MD, cured every one of the sixty polio patients he treated - some of them paralyzed - using massive injections of vitamin C. He also helped people heal from numerous other maladies. Astoundingly, after summarizing his work and his success at the annual AMA meeting in 1949, Dr. Klenner received neither questions nor comment from his colleagues, and no mention of it was ever made to the American public."
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, 1962 -
"Silent Spring began with a “fable for tomorrow” – a true story using a composite of examples drawn from many real communities where the use of DDT had caused damage to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. It inspired the modern environmental movement, which began in earnest a decade later. It is recognized as the environmental text that “changed the world.” She aimed at igniting a democratic activist movement that would not only question the direction of science and technology but would also demand answers and accountability.
Rachel Carson was a prophetic voice and her “witness for nature” is even more relevant and needed if our planet is to survive into a 22nd century. She expected criticism, but she did not expect to be personally vilified by the chemical industry and its allies in and out of government. She spent her last years courageously defending the truth of her conclusions until her untimely death in 1964." She had breast cancer. Silent Spring YouTube
