Polio has almost been wiped out throughout the world. Unfortunately, post-polio syndrome (PPS), a condition affecting polio survivors, is on the rise.
If you have found this webpage, you are interested in an alternative approach to treating PPS for yourself or a loved one. Perhaps your doctor recently diagnosed you or your loved one with PPS. Or maybe you were the victim of a polio attack many years ago and are now experiencing the tell-tale symptoms of PPS: muscle weakness in your arms and legs, joint pain, tiredness and exhaustion after what should be normal activity, muscle and mental fatigue, breathing difficulties, swallowing problems, sleep apnea, sensitivity to cold, etc. Either way, the thought of losing your independent lifestyle and possibly needing a wheelchair can be terrifying. It is important to educate yourself.
Post-polio syndrome is a medical mystery: its cause is unknown, it is difficult to diagnose, and there is currently no cure. There is no single treatment for PPS because every patient has different symptoms. The goal of treating PPS through the Biotherapy Clinic is to prevent falls, preserve nerve cells (neurons), and help manage the symptoms of PPS. Through ongoing disease management and self-care it is possible for you to keep your active lifestyle and to live as comfortably as possible.
The Biotherapy Clinic has 30 years of experience working with alternative non-drug strategies that are safe and can improve the overall health of polio survivors with PPS.
Example: The following true story illustrates how therapies at the Biotherapy Clinic can be helpful for polio survivors with PPS. One patient, a polio survivor over 60 years old, came to the Biotherapy Clinic two years ago. The symptoms of PPS had begun to negatively impact his work, family life, and daily routine. His particular symptoms included: muscles in his extremities were getting noticeably weaker, experiencing pain in his lower back and limbs; rectum was slipping, and severe bleeding hemorrhoids. He was also complaining of gastrointestinal issues, immune system problems and depression. His number one fear was that he was about to become wheelchair-bound.
The Biotherapy Clinic worked with this man for 2 years, during which time he was treated using several different non-drug methods. These methods included whole body cleansing with colon hydrotherapy, restoration of friendly intestinal flora, healthy diet, regular manual therapy, electro-acupuncture with electro-muscle stimulation, magnets, relaxation, herbs and nutrition supplementation.
After 2 years of this alternative, non-drug therapy he said, “I’ve been born again. I can work and live a productive life without pain, fatigue, and fear of disability".
The practitioners at the Biotherapy Alternative Medicine Clinic can also help you or your loved one by creating a unique program to combat the specific symptoms of your PPS. At the Biotherapy Clinic, all of the therapies are conveniently administered under one roof so you don’t have to drive all over town to meet with different specialists.
