Provocation polio

Polio causes

" Provocation polio. That is the truth about those

outbreaks of polio. And I offer a well considered

personal opinion that polio is a man made disease. " —Viera Scheibner.

1. Vaccine associated paralytic Poliomyelitis (VAPP):

" I made the comment to the doctors that

poliomyelitis, as a clinical entity was vary rare

prior to the compulsory vaccination law around

1874. I said that my gut said that there was a

link, because up until that time polio had

floated around happily giving everyone natural

immunity with just the very odd, amazingly rare

clinical presentation. After 1874, there was an

explosion in paralysis, and all the things so

emotional shown in old news reels. And more

people got paralytic polio with the use of the

toxin anti-toxin diphtheria horse serum in the 1890’s. " --

" Poliomyelitis......When it occurs within two

days of vaccination with any alum-containing

prophlactic, the term 'provocative paralytic p.'

is used. " ---Livingstone's Dictionary For Nurses 1973.

" The only cause of polio in the U.S. for the past

17 years has been the oral version of the vaccine

itself, and though the Food and Drug

Administration has finally recommended a

reduction of the oral product's use, there are no

plans to take it off the market. The

twice-as-costly vaccine administered by injection

does not cause polio. " --Money Magazine (1996)

The following information by the National

Anti-Vivisection Society (UK) gives some insight

into the relationship between the diptheria and

triple antigen vaccines and paralytic polio:

" The early triple vaccine against diphtheria,

whooping cough and tetanus had also been shown

beyond doubt to cause paralytic polio in some

children to whom it was administered. The

incidence of polio in children recently

vaccinated against diphtheria was statistically

greater than in unvaccinated children, symptoms

showing in the vaccinated limb with 28 days of

the initial injection. This scandal broke in

Britain during 1949, an epidemic year for polio,

other reports soon following from Australia.

Papers dealing with this topic are plentiful.

One, British, gives details of 17 cases of polio

which followed 28 days or less after various injections.

Another, Australian, gives details of 340 cases

of polio, 211 of which had been previously

vaccinated against whooping cough and/or

diphtheria. Of these, 35 had been vaccinated

within the preceding 3 months and a further 30

within the previous year ( B.P. McClosky, " The

Relation of Prophylactic Inoculation to the Onset

of Poliomyelitis, " Lancet, April 18, 659-663. 1950?).

Dr Geffen reported similar findings from the

London borough of St Pancras, where 30 children

under the age of 5 developed polio within four

weeks of being immunised against diphtheria or

whooping cough or both, the paralysis affecting,

in particular, the limb of injection. Two medical

statisticians at the London School of Hygiene and

Tropical Medicine examined these reports and concluded that:

" Geffen (1950) noted in the 1949 epidemic 30 out

of 182 paralytic patients under 5 had been

immunised against diptheria, pertussis, or both

within weeks of contracting polio. In all of

these cases the limb last injected was paralysed;

in another seven cases a different limb was

affected. In 21 of the 30 cases combined

diptheria and pertussis vaccine had been used,

APT in eight, and pertussis alone in

one. Geffen calculated that the proportion of

children becoming paralysed after immunisation

was of the order of 1 in 1800. The interval

between injection and the developement of polio

was usually between 5 and 16 days (Geffen,

Paterson and 1953). " --, The Hazards of Immunisation

Dr Arthur Gale of the Ministry of Health reported

65 cases from the Midlands, where paralysis

followed about two weeks after an injection: in

49 of these, paralysis occurred in the injected

limb. Then it was reported that of 112 cases of

paralysis admitted to the Park Hospital, London,

during 1947-1949, 14 were paralysed in the limb

which had received one or more of a course of

immunising injections within the previous two

months. In the majority of cases, the interval

between the last injection and the onset of

paralysis was between 9 and 14 days. Again,

combined whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus injections were involved.

This outbreak of polio followed an intensive

immunisation campaign during that time, 1947-49.

Following these findings, the Ministry of Health

recommended that diphtheria and triple vaccines

should not be used in areas where polio was

naturally present. " From that time onwards, the

incidence of paralytic polio decreased rapidly in

Britain, even prior to the advent of Salk vaccination.... "

Neurologic diseases are common manifestations in

enteroviral infections, and most common is

aseptic meningitis in children. Only a few

percents of poliovirus infected children may

result in aseptic meningitis or paralytic

poliomyelitis. VAPP (Vaccine Associated Paralytic

Poliomyelitis) should be considered among

patients with a recent history of receiving OPV

(oral polio vaccine). Recently PCR analysis has

been used in order to differentiate

vaccine-strain from wild-strain poliovirus. There

are no specific laboratory findings about

enterovirus infections in CNS, however CSF

(cerebrospinal fluid) in acute phase may show

elevated, predominant polymorphonuclear cells and

mean-while shift to mononuclear cell dominance.

The G-CSF concentration in CSF with enteroviral

meningitis is elevated, which indicates that

induced G-CSF is responsible for neutrophil predominance in CSF.

BACKGROUND. In Romania the rate of

vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis is for

unexplained reasons 5 to 17 times higher than in

other countries. Long ago it was noted that

intramuscular injections administered during the

incubation period of wild-type poliovirus

infection increased the risk of paralytic disease

(a phenomenon known as " provocation "

poliomyelitis). We conducted a case-control study

to explore the association between intramuscular

injections and vaccine-associated poliomyelitis

in Romania. ...RESULTS. Of the 31 children with

vaccine-associated disease, 27 (87 percent) had

received one or more intramuscular injections

within 30 days before the onset of paralysis, as

compared with 77 of the 151 controls (51 percent)

(matched odds ratio, 31.2; 95 percent confidence

interval, 4.0 to 244.2). Nearly all the

intramuscular injections were of antibiotics, and

the association was strongest for the patients

who received 10 or more injections (matched odds

ratio for > or = 10 injections as compared with

no injections, 182.1; 95 percent confidence

interval, 15.2 to 2186.4). The risk of paralytic

disease was strongly associated with injections

given after the oral polio virus vaccine, but not

with injections given before or at the same time

as the vaccine (matched odds ratio, 56.7; 95

percent confidence interval, 8.9 to infinity).

The attributable risk in the population for

intramuscular injections given in the 30 days

before the onset of paralysis was 86 percent (95

percent confidence interval, 66 to 95 percent);

that is, we estimate that 86 percent of the cases

of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis in

this population might have been prevented by the

elimination of intramuscular injections within 30

days after exposure to oral poliovirus vaccine.

CONCLUSIONS. Provocation paralysis, previously

described only for wild-type poliovirus

infection, may rarely occur in a child who

receives multiple intramuscular injections

shortly after exposure to oral poliovirus

vaccine, either as a vaccine recipient or through

contact with a recent recipient. This phenomenon

may explain the high rate of vaccine-associated

paralytic poliomyelitis in Romania, where the use

of intramuscular injections of antibiotics in

infants with febrile illness is common.

2. Antibiotic injections

" Paralytic poliomyelitis in a rural area of north

India " (National Medical Journal of India, vol.

10, no. 1, January-February 1997, pages 8-10): In

a house-to-house survey conducted between 1990

and 1991, several cases of paralytic

poliomyelitis were identified, 60 percent of

which had had intramuscular injections preceding

paralysis, in treatment of minor fevers.

A recent Romanian study demonstrated that

injections of antibiotics following polio

vaccination could cause polio. The researchers

suggested the rate of " vaccine-induced polio " in

Romania could be reduced from 10.3 per year to

1.4 per year, if antibiotic injections were

avoided for 30 days following polio vaccination.

Correlations with the injections of

antibiotics were found: a single injection within

one month of vaccination raised the risk of polio

8 times, 2 to 9 injections raised the risk

27-fold, and 10 injections or more raised the

risk 182 times (Washington Post, Feb 22, 1995).

A number of epidemics of poliomyelitis between

1914 and 1962 are related to children with

congenital syphilis or yaws under treatment with arsenicals or penicillin

Injections of vaccines provoked paralytic

poliomyelitis in children in the UK and

elsewhere. The effect of multiple injections has

not been recognized previously but could be

important in the tropics where children receive

many injections. A number of epidemics of

poliomyelitis between 1914 and 1962 are related

to children with congenital syphilis or yaws

under treatment with arsenicals or penicillin.

Rates of 25% of children with paralysis occurred

in epidemics while in non-epidemic periods the

increase in susceptibility was about 25 fold.

Other possible cases of provocation are

discussed. Although in the tropics injections

before paralysis may be causal, it will be

difficult to prove that they are not coincident.

The very high rate of paralysis following

multiple injections is powerful evidence that

injections in the tropics are often causal.

A study in India suggested that ¾ of cases of

paralytic polio in the past decade were caused or

made more severe by unnecessary injections (The Lancet vol 341)).

treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia.Acta

Neuropathol (Berl). 1979 Feb 15;45(2):153-7.PMID:

283679 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

This paper reports the case of a 16-year-old girl

with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who received

chemotherapy including intrathecal injections of

methotrexate and preventive irradiation of the

brain, but not of the spinal cord. Several months

later, she died from an acute ascending

poliomyelitic syndrome evolving during 10 days.

Clinical, bacteriological, and viral

investigations failed to demonstrate any

pathological agent. Autopsy revealed an acute

ischemic lesion involving both anterior horns of

the whole spinal cord and extending from the

lower segment up to the mesencephalic region,

without significant alteration of the white

matter. Neither tumoral invasion, nor vascular

obstruction was found. The pathogenesis of this

yet undescribed lesion remained unclear but a

metabolic disorder seemed the most plausible pathological factor.

VACCINES: POLIO PERSPECTIVES By Edda West

http://www.vran.org/vaccines/polio/vaccine_pol.htm

" Within VRAN, we know of several families whose

children have suffered acute long term paralytic

illness following MMR vaccination which later was

reclassified as transverse myelitis. Yet the

attending medical experts vociferously deny a

vaccine association. One can almost hear a

collective sigh of relief every time a paralysis

is diagnosed as AFP --never mind what caused it -- it's not polio! "

" Around the turn of the 20th century, people

began reporting paralytic illness after smallpox

vaccination. (15) By the 1920s, infantile

paralysis (later renamed polio) began to emerge

as an important new disease that often afflicted

the limb that had been vaccinated. And later,

when typhoid vaccine, then diphtheria, tetanus

vaccines and pertussis vaccines gained widespread

use, illness and paralytic episodes following

vaccination became common knowledge. Provocation

polio is a well known phenomenon precipitated by

" diverse factors that provoke or increase the

severity of polio in its victims, or localize it

to a certain section in the nervous system. " Some

of these factors included: vaccination, trauma,

tonsillectomies, pertussis vaccines, and the

injection of numerous substances such as

cortisone, bismuth, guanine and penicillin. (9) "

Provocation Polio. When children incubating wild-type

poliovirus infections receive injections, the likelihood of

residual paralytic diseases developing in the injected ex-tremity

is increased.22 The damage to small nerve endings

probably provides entrance to the nervous system for polio-viruses

circulating in the bloodstream, which subsequently

travel to the spinal cord and damage the motor neuron. A

study in Romania revealed that multiple injections were

associated with development of residual paralysis from oral

poliovirus vaccines (discussed subsequently).23

arcane history, efficacy, and long-term

health-related consequences by Neil Z.

excerpt

Injections: Several studies have shown that

injections (for antibiotics or other vaccines)

increase susceptibility to polio. In fact,

researchers have known since the early 1900s that

paralytic poliomyelitis often started at the site

of an injection [8,9]. When diphtheria and

pertussis vaccines were introduced in the 1940s,

cases of paralytic poliomyelitis skyrocketed

(Figure 1) [10]. This was documented in Lancet

and other medical journals [11-13]. In 1949, the

Medical Research Council in Great Britain set up

a committee to investigate the matter and

ultimately concluded that individuals are at

increased risk of paralysis for 30 days following

injections; injections alter the distribution of

paralysis; and it did not matter whether the

injections were subcutaneous or intramuscular [14,15].

Figure 1. Polio cases skyrocketed after

diphtheria and pertussis vaccines were introduced (graph at webpage)

Diphtheria and Pertussis

Vaccines Introduced

Several studies show that injections increase

susceptibility to polio. When diphtheria and

pertussis vaccines were introduced in the 1940s,

cases of paralytic poliomyelitis skyrocketed.

This chart shows the average number of polio cases per 100,000 people

during five year periods before and after the

vaccines were introduced. Source: National

Morbidity Reports taken from U.S. Public Health

surveillance reports; Lancet (April 18, 1950), pp. 659-63.

A 1992 study, published in the Journal of

Infectious Diseases, validated earlier findings.

Children who received DPT (diphtheria, tetanus,

and pertussis) injections were significantly more

likely than controls to suffer paralytic

poliomyelitis within the next 30 days [16].

According to the authors, " this study confirms

that injections are an important cause of provocative poliomyelitis [16:444]. "

In 1995, the New England Journal of

Medicine published a study showing that children

who received a single injection within one month

after receiving a polio vaccine were 8 times more

likely to contract polio than children who

received no injections. The risk jumped 27-fold

when children received up to nine injections

within one month after receiving the polio

vaccine. And with ten or more injections, the

likelihood of developing polio was 182 times greater than expected [17].

Why injections increase the risk of polio

is unclear [18]. Nevertheless, these studies and

others [19-24] indicate that " injections must be

avoided in countries with endemic poliomyelitis

[18]. " Health authorities believe that all

" unnecessary " injections should be avoided as well [18:1006;24].
