I don't know that it's worse but it's usually very disabling. Our old office
manager survived it. She had one very shrunken leg and had trouble walking.
I am not making light of cancer as I know many people who have had it. Some
did die. Others, like my husband, are still living. And not disabled from
it.

I have a friend who after she was fully qualified as a paediatric
surgeon had what they now call 'flash back polio' - she had polio as a
child and appeared unharmed but many of them now are getting this. It
makes life a misery, she can't even plan day to day because she
doesn't know what condition she will be in. She had to give up her
practice, a great loss to kids.

Polio isn't the same thing as cancer, that's for sure, they are not
comparable!

You really are dim. Polio can paralyze the muscles that handle breathing,
and that can cause death.

I don't want either polio or cancer. If the HPV vaccine had been
available when I was a teenager, I would have gotten it.

===================

My mother had polio as a child and it left her with one leg shorter but it
never stopped her doing anything and she was in nursing nearly all her life.

She made sure I got my vacs for *everything*.

I think because the devastation of all these diseases is not evident
to them, they have become overly casual about it and listen to cranks
and people with vested interests in turning them from vaccines. Idiots
one and all.

My wife's cousin has had the same thing happen to her. I didn't even
know that she had had polio has a child. She is now quite disabled as a
result of this recurrence.

They are comparable in that they are both dangerous and I would not like
to be diagnosed with either. Many people who contract polio recover.
Some, as you pointed out, suffer from post polio syndrome years after
their initial illness. Some victims are left disabled, and those who are
afflicted with bulbar polio are likely to die without the help of a
respirator (iron lung).

Tell that to the people who were unable to get the polio vaccine. Sorry you can't as most of them are dead. For some people ignorance (not science) rules.

Unlike these two DIMWIT Brit parents, Ms. O....they've been getting a bit of media attention over he


Meet the Allens, the Off-Grid Family That Wants Your Support to Survive

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor...ml?wpsrc=nymag


"The first thing the Allens, a British family of four, want you to know about them is that they are followers of something they call off-grid parenting. This includes common, and sometimes questionable, alternative parenting practices such as home-schooling, avoiding vaccinations and modern medicine, co-sleeping, and extended breast-feeding. There are also less common ones, such as lotus birthing (letting the placenta and umbilical cord fall off naturally) and avoiding shoes for their children. Still, all this is not enough for the Allens. They yearn for a family life even further off-grid and have hatched a plan that will help them move closer towards self sustainability and being a bit more free range and less institutionalized.

The second thing the Allens want you to know about them is that they cant do this without you. Yes, their master plan for self-sufficiency involves moving to Costa Rica and buying a big plot of land where we can grow food, and have access to wildlife and nature in it's natural state, as they explain on their FundMyTravel.com campaign page (accompanied by a must-see video). But in order to make this happen they need $100,000 of your money, which they will pay back by sharing the treasure trove of knowledge they anticipate gaining by living off the land. In the meantime, theyll continue getting by on housing and child benefits from the government.

Obviously, the fact that they never acknowledge the irony of using an online fundraising campaign to help them become more self-sufficient speaks to their total obliviousness to the potential consequences of their lifestyle choices on their family and the world around them. But does this obliviousness makes them insufferable or insidious? I'll attempt to parse it out.

In the insufferable category we have their Rousseau-light theories about how society is a corruptive force and children do best when they self-educate and self-medicate.* What makes this even more irritating is that they claim this is all natural, without everstopping to think what a subjective, and mutable, concept natural is. Also, its not enough for them to be off-grid; they also have to tell everyone about it, on-grid. The Allens are no real-life Captain Fantastic (a story about a family also motivated by narcissism and delusion but wise enough to keep it all within the unit), but just another thirsty couple itching to proselytize their ill-conceived lifestyle to the masses.

But far more troubling than this narcissism and delusion is their decision to not vaccinate their children, which kills, and the way theyve turned the very lovely experience of parenthood into a performance about parenting. Not only do such rigid parenting philosophies make raising children seem far more fraught than it really is; they also distract parents from the alleged beneficiaries of these philosophies: their kids.

In a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, psychology professor and writer Alison Gopnik argues against parenting, a word and idea that didnt enter popular consciousness until the 1970s.
The idea that parents can learn special techniques that will make their children turn out better is ubiquitous in middle-class Americaso ubiquitous that it might seem obvious. But this prescriptive picture is fundamentally misguided. Its the wrong way to understand how parents and children actually think and act, and its equally wrong as a vision of how they should think and act, Gopnik writes.

Instead of focusing on parenting, which involves trying to achieve a particular outcome, we should value being a parent, Gopnik explains. This involves loving ones children and giving them a sense of security in response to their needs, instead of following a rule book. The set of orthodoxies proposed by various parenting methods often blind us from our children and everything and everyone else.

To illustrate this point: During a recent appearance on a morning talk show, the Allens youngest child, 1-year-old Ostara, walks to the front of the set and urinates in clear view of the camera. Its hilarious. The Allens defended themselves and claimed that the nappy leaked. This might be true, though my experience tells me a puddle formation of that size is highly unlikely unless the diaper hadnt been changed for a very, very long time. (More plausible is that she wasnt wearing a diaper at all, and that the Allens were practitioners of elimination communication, a diaperless, and dubious, form of potty training beloved by parents of their ilk.) I dont fault little Ostara for her indiscretion, nor do I fault her parents for the fact that she peed. What I do take issue with is their indifference to the act: Mom keeps on talking, dad and big brother point and laugh instead of going over and helping her. All that matters is their self-sufficiencywell, prattling on about their self-sufficiencyand they dont care who or what gets ****ed on in the process..."

Yes.

He was once a champion water skier. This before he was struck down by
full blown polio. This was pre-Salk and I was only 8-9, but knew this
man was left with nothing. He could not breath w/o the help of a
portable iron lung (looked like a giant fiberglass Conquistador
breastplate w/ supporting kitchen-stove-sized machine) and was
completely dependent on everyone around him, for everything! This was
his life until he finally passed. Took a lotta courage to survive
that disease.

I was about eleven when I finally got my first "polio shot". Later,
got the sugar cube. I look back on it and only now do I realize the
importance of that discovery. At that age, I gave polio no more than
a passing thought. Eating a sugar cube was merely a great excuse to
get outta class. Now, I realize the enormity of the bullet I was
lucky enough to dodge. 8|

I think in part the stupidity of proudly announcing 'we have never had
shots, even for flu' comes because they didn't see what happened prior
to the shots. For the time being they will probably be okay, though
that's doubtful in the HPV case, but as the proportion of unvaccinated
increases, they better watch out. They haven't entirely eliminated
polio in Pakistan, anytime it could sweep round again in NA, to late
then to get the shot or cube, takes time for the antibodies to grow.

In Pakistan the Taliban spread rumours that the ngo's giving away free
vaccines to the babies were really sterilising the babies. So mums
stopped vaccinating and within no time, outbreaks. Only winners were
those already vaccinated.

Unlike these two DIMWIT Brit parents, Ms. O....they've been getting a bit of
media attention over he


Meet the Allens, the Off-Grid Family That Wants Your Support to Survive

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor...ml?wpsrc=nymag


"The first thing the Allens, a British family of four, want you to know
about them is that they are followers of something they call off-grid
parenting. This includes common, and sometimes questionable, alternative
parenting practices such as home-schooling, avoiding vaccinations and modern
medicine, co-sleeping, and extended breast-feeding. There are also less
common ones, such as lotus birthing (letting the placenta and umbilical
cord fall off naturally) and avoiding shoes for their children. Still, all
this is not enough for the Allens. They yearn for a family life even further
off-grid and have hatched a plan that will help them move closer towards
self sustainability and being a bit more free range and less
institutionalized.

The second thing the Allens want you to know about them is that they cant
do this without you. Yes, their master plan for self-sufficiency involves
moving to Costa Rica and buying a big plot of land where we can grow food,
and have access to wildlife and nature in it's natural state, as they
explain on their FundMyTravel.com campaign page (accompanied by a must-see
video). But in order to make this happen they need $100,000 of your money,
which they will pay back by sharing the treasure trove of knowledge they
anticipate gaining by living off the land. In the meantime, theyll continue
getting by on housing and child benefits from the government.

Obviously, the fact that they never acknowledge the irony of using an online
fundraising campaign to help them become more self-sufficient speaks to
their total obliviousness to the potential consequences of their lifestyle
choices on their family and the world around them. But does this
obliviousness makes them insufferable or insidious? I'll attempt to parse it
out.

In the insufferable category we have their Rousseau-light theories about how
society is a corruptive force and children do best when they self-educate
and self-medicate.* What makes this even more irritating is that they claim
this is all natural, without everstopping to think what a subjective, and
mutable, concept natural is. Also, its not enough for them to be off-grid;
they also have to tell everyone about it, on-grid. The Allens are no
real-life Captain Fantastic (a story about a family also motivated by
narcissism and delusion but wise enough to keep it all within the unit), but
just another thirsty couple itching to proselytize their ill-conceived
lifestyle to the masses.

But far more troubling than this narcissism and delusion is their decision
to not vaccinate their children, which kills, and the way theyve turned the
very lovely experience of parenthood into a performance about parenting. Not
only do such rigid parenting philosophies make raising children seem far
more fraught than it really is; they also distract parents from the alleged
beneficiaries of these philosophies: their kids.

In a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, psychology professor and
writer Alison Gopnik argues against parenting, a word and idea that didnt
enter popular consciousness until the 1970s.
The idea that parents can learn special techniques that will make their
children turn out better is ubiquitous in middle-class Americaso ubiquitous
that it might seem obvious. But this prescriptive picture is fundamentally
misguided. Its the wrong way to understand how parents and children
actually think and act, and its equally wrong as a vision of how they
should think and act, Gopnik writes.

Instead of focusing on parenting, which involves trying to achieve a
particular outcome, we should value being a parent, Gopnik explains. This
involves loving ones children and giving them a sense of security in
response to their needs, instead of following a rule book. The set of
orthodoxies proposed by various parenting methods often blind us from our
children and everything and everyone else.

To illustrate this point: During a recent appearance on a morning talk show,
the Allens youngest child, 1-year-old Ostara, walks to the front of the set
and urinates in clear view of the camera. Its hilarious. The Allens
defended themselves and claimed that the nappy leaked. This might be true,
though my experience tells me a puddle formation of that size is highly
unlikely unless the diaper hadnt been changed for a very, very long time.
(More plausible is that she wasnt wearing a diaper at all, and that the
Allens were practitioners of elimination communication, a diaperless, and
dubious, form of potty training beloved by parents of their ilk.) I dont
fault little Ostara for her indiscretion, nor do I fault her parents for the
fact that she peed. What I do take issue with is their indifference to the
act: Mom keeps on talking, dad and big brother point and laugh instead of
going over and helping her. All that matters is their self-sufficiencywell,
prattling on about their self-sufficiencyand they dont care who or what
gets ****ed on in the process..."

-----------------------------------------------------

Oh dear! No, this is the first I've heard of them! What a mess. Well
they'll get nowt from me. Let them work for it the same way we had to. The
flipping cheek of it!!! They want everyone else to pay for their life
style! Pfpfpfpff

I can remember many years ago, a doctor allowed his children to absolutely
*anything*. If memory serves they even pulled down part of his house and
tried to build something different. It is time some people grew up and
learned to be parents!

Bonkers all!!!

Polio was before my time. I had the sugar cube vaccinations when I was
young. Sounds like a very horrible disease though if it haunts you all
your life. Had an old woman friend and she always talked about her
post-polio syndrome.

Speaking of polio. I saw a trivia thing this morning.
FDR had it but anyway...the trivia is:

On this day 73 days ago -
July 28, 1943
President Franklin D Roosevelt announces end of coffee rationing in US

I guess all usain adults were happy about that.

I started school in 1955 and there were a couple kids in our school who
wore leg braces. They were a little older than I was. It was not
uncommon to see kids with one or two leg braces. We got the vaccine and
I don't remember seeing any younger kids with braces or hearing about
kids getting polio.

And they are the extremely lazy parents that "allow their kids to be free
spirits with no boundaries" rather than take the time and energy to raise
them to be decent citizens, and then they turn them loose on society.

Well, much of the cargo ship sinkings had stopped (not voluntarily,
thanks Navies!), not only from South America to the US, but from the US
to Europe. So, not as much lost cargo.

Coffee rationing in the US did not last very long - a little over a year. People had to make do with about half what they were used to. Using a weaker brew and extenders, like chicory, were common.

It seems that US coffee rationing only lasted for 8 months.

I LOVE that the old _Life_ magazines are online. I quickly perused this November 1943 issue during lunch and was reminded about gas rationing, "George Washington Slept Here", thrifty wartime lighting with GE Mazda Lamps, battles won in Stalingrad and the Solomons, "Life Goes to a Soviet Embassy Reception", the very cool graphics of a Kool cigarette ad, and LOTS of ads for whiskey...

All in all, we had it very good during WWII...lots of ads reminding us of rationing, but plenty also encouraging consumption.

Coffee rationing in the US was in effect from November 29, 1942 to July 28,1943. You are correct. Sorry about that.

There are a lot of things that were done by the medical community back
before they knew better. I know of two that hit home closely.

One was an early HRT therapy for menopause (my poor mom when she had to
stop the therapy!), and before then, medication to help prevent
miscarriage, DES or something like that. My mom took that and medicine
has found that children conceived when mom was on this therapy have
higher risk of certain cancers, and even worse problems in the second
generation or something in males. Being a person who is at risk I really
should know more but hey, we'll all die of something.

Indeed. First there were a myriad of diseases that killed us from youth
to old age. Then there were diabetes, tuberculosis, polio and scarlet
fever that would kill or cripple us. Then there was and is heart
disease, and be thankful for blood pressure medication, or some of us
posting here would be dead already. Last, there is cancer that kills
us, because all those other diseases didn't, and we lived long enough
to get cancer. Some of us unfortunately die early from it. Nature
doesn't care.

Well, it's not like those creeps are spending money on diapers or medical bills, lol...

It's CRINGEABLE even reading that story, the TOP goal of everyone should be SELF - SUFFICIENCY, not sponging offa others...it's obvious the "parents" are mentally ill, i don't understand why the child welfare authorities don't scoop those kids right up, citng "child neglect" as the cause for action..

Spike Milligan wanted: "I told them I was ill" on his headstone but the
Irish papist authorities wouldn't allow it. So it was engraved in Gaelic
instead.
