Extractions: Email Article Print Article Send Your Feedback Angola has stepped up its fight against polio, with mothers out in force to take advantage of a nationwide immunisation drive after the first appearance of the disease in the African country in four years. The three-day, $3.74 million campaign, which ends on Sunday, was run by the Health Ministry, the United Nations Childrens' Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) and is aimed at stopping polio before it spreads. Angola this month identified three new cases of the disease - two in the capital, Luanda, and one in the western province of Benguela - the first cases since 2001. The diagnoses, along with a new outbreak of polio in Indonesia, were a setback to the WHO, which has campaigned to stop the global spread of polio by the year's end.

Children's Fund said Tuesday. "No matter what the global situation, we cannot shrink from the ongoing work of reaching out to help them," said UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy. The polio program, led by the Iraqi Ministry of Health, will run February 23-27. UNICEF also is supporting a program to speed up vaccinations against measles, which kills more children than any other disease in Iraq. Although there was a major outbreak of polio in Iraq in 1999, increased vaccination has resulted in no cases since January 2000. The agency estimates that nearly 500,000 children under the age of five have not been vaccinated. One child in eight dies before the age of five in Iraq one of the worst rates in the world while a third are malnourished and a quarter have no access to safe drinking water.

Extractions: July, The Treatment of Poliomyelitis and Other Virus Diseases with Vitamin C Fred R. Klenner, M.D., Reidsville, North Carolina IN A PREVIOUS REPORT dealing with the antagonistic properties of ascorbic acid to the virus of atypical pneumonia, mention was made of the fact that other types of virus infections had responded favorably to vitamin C. This paper is to present these findings as well as the results of subsequent studies on the virus of poliomyelitis, the viruses causing measles, mumps, chickenpox, herpes zoster, herpes simplex and influenza. Further studies with the virus of atypical pneumonia will also be discussed. These observations of the action of ascorbic acid on virus diseases were made independently of any knowledge of previous studies using vitamin C on virus pathology, except for the negative report of Sabin after treating Rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with the poliomyelitis virus. A review of the literature in preparation of this paper, however, presented an almost unbelievable record of such studies. The years of labor in animal experimentation, the cost in human effort and in "grants," and the volumes written, make it difficult to understand how so many investigators could have failed in comprehending the one thing that would have given positive results a decade ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the four-term president who directed his sweeping social policies from his wheelchair, may not have been struck by polio but instead by Guillain-Barre syndrome, researchers said Friday. The symptoms of Roosevelt's illness, which first became apparent in 1921, more closely resembled those of Guillain-Barre, also known as acute ascending polyneuritis, a team at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston said. It is believed to be an autoimmune disease one in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It occurs after a mild infection, surgery or, rarely, after an immunization. Either way, the diagnosis made no difference for Roosevelt there were no good treatments for either disease in 1921. He was president from 1933 until he died in 1945 of a cerebral hemorrhage.

The virus has an affinity for nervous tissue, and can cause paralysis if it reaches the central nervous system. Its incubation period is 3-21 days. Routine immunisation was introduced in 1956, but people born before 1958 may not have been immunised. However, since the launch of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, the virus is circulating in only seven countries: Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan and Somalia.

Children's Fund and Iraqi health teams began a five-day campaign Sunday to vaccinate 4 million Iraqi children against polio. Thousands of health workers and volunteers fanned out across the country, going door-to-door to give all children under the age of 5 the two drops that will protect them against the crippling disease. Carel de Rooy, UNICEF's representative in Iraq, said the campaign is routine and has nothing to do with a possible war. "This was planned months ago. Every year we do this," he said after visiting a dispensary. "What we are doing here over the next five days is just to maintain a polio-free Iraq." UNICEF has been working for six years to rid Iraq of polio, helping train 14,000 volunteers and contributing $500,000 to the effort, most of it donated by the European Union. UNICEF also supports a program to speed up vaccinations against measles, which kills more children than any other disease in this Arab country, and is trying to improve nutrition for Iraqi children, a quarter of whom are malnourished. A week before the campaign began, the Health Ministry began an advertising campaign on radio and television, and mosques' loudspeakers urged people to take their children for vaccination.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Around 85 percent of global polio cases are in India Story Tools NEW DELHI, India (AP) Indian health authorities launched one of the largest-ever immunization drives in the world Sunday to protect an estimated 165 million children from polio. More than 1.3 million public health workers, teachers and volunteers, carrying nearly 200 million doses of the anti-polio vaccine, fanned out to remote villages and urban slums where the virus is easily spread due to crowded conditions, poor sanitation and hard-to-reach communities. Parents in the capital, New Delhi lined up with their children at nearby hospitals and camps run by health workers. The campaign aims to vaccinate every unprotected child under 5 in India during the six-day program that will help international efforts aimed at wiping out the crippling disease by 2005. "It's a war we're winning, but it's not over yet," Dr. Carl Tinstman, a UNICEF polio expert, said in Geneva on Wednesday. Polio usually strikes children under 5. It can cripple the spinal cord and brain, causing paralysis and sometimes death. It is transmitted through food or water contaminated by the fecal matter of an infected person.

There are about 2 million North American polio survivors and 20 million polio survivors worldwide. The existence of PPS has been verified by articles in many medical journals, including The Journal of the American Medical Association, the American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and The New England Journal of Medicine.
