Many times over the years I have shown the following charts to demonstrate that medical measures were not responsible for vanquishing infectious diseases. The decline in the diseases occurred BEFORE the introduction of the vaccine or chemotherapeutic agent heralded as the savior.

The diminishment of these diseases was most likely due to improved nutrition, better public utilities, and the natural rise in immunity of a population. 

In the case of polio, evidence links the rise in the disease to the use of pesticides. Remarkably, although not the cause of the outbreak, polio vaccines can cause the disease. (Adverse Events Associated with Childhood Vaccines--Evidence Bearing on Causality: Institute of Medicine (US) Vaccine Safety Committee) 

As usual, it's humans meddling in nature that lies at the root of so many of our problems. ​

Although human intervention is often started with good intentions, those motives get overtaken when the profit motive blinds the purveyors to consequences. 

On the other hand, respect for nature and its balances, both environmentally and biologically, can result in remarkable resistance and healing. 

Consider the essential nutrient magnesium. It's critical to hundreds of enzymatic actions, energy metabolism, and structural integrity. Other benefits include improving calcium absorption and bone health, preventing and ameliorating diabetes, heart disease, migraine headaches, premenstrual syndrome, anxiety, and more. 

Most importantly, it moderates oxidative stress, the weapon of infections and their toxins. 

Chances are, most of us are deficient. 

In acute infections, such as polio, both magnesium and vitamin C levels drop precipitously to combat oxidation and support white blood cell activity. Vitamin C can even attack infectious agents directly via the Fenton reaction.

There is a synergy between magnesium and Vitamin C. However, magnesium chloride alone, given several times a day, has cured polio. (Neveu AP (1958) Traitement cytophylactique des maladies infectieuses par le chlorure de magnésium, la poliomyélite. 3e édition.) High doses of vitamin C alone completely cured 60 cases of polio. (Klenner F: The treatment of poliomyelitis and other virus diseases with vitamin C. Southern Medical Journal 111:209-214.) 

Scroll through the following sample case reports from Dr. Auguste Pierre Neveu describing the incredible impact of magnesium chloride on 15 different cases of poliomyelitis, some extremely acute, and some seen several months after the onset of the infection. (Reprinted from orthomolecular.org):
​

1. The first case of polio treated by Dr. Neveu was a four-year-old boy in September of 1943. Fairly rapid onset. The child was crying, would not eat, and he was unable to stand on his left leg. Dr. Neveu mixed 5 grams of magnesium chloride in 250 cc of water. 80 cc doses were given orally at 1 pm and again at 4 pm. At the time of the second dose, the state of leg paralysis was considered to be "complete." Another dose was given 3 hours later. The next morning both the paralysis and the fever that had been present were resolved. There was no return of symptoms. This represented a complete cure with less than 24 hours of receiving magnesium chloride treatment. 
   
   
2. Dr. Auguste Pierre Neveu treated his second case of polio two years later. He saw an 11-year-old boy with headache, discomfort in the neck and the back, and an inflamed throat with difficulty in swallowing his saliva. He reported that his legs had no feeling, and seemed as if they were made of wool, with a complete inability to stand up. He had upper arm pain, and his eyes were very sensitive to light. Rectal temperature was 102 degrees F. For this child, Dr. Neveu prepared a solution of magnesium chloride with 20 grams dissolved in a liter of water. The child had been stricken suddenly that morning and was receiving his first dose of magnesium chloride, 125 cc orally, early that afternoon, with follow-up doses every six hours. Evening temperature had increased to 103 degrees F. The next day morning temperature was 100.1 degrees F and evening temperature was 101 degrees F. The child had slept well the first night, all symptoms had generally lessened, and he was able to stand up when he awoke. He asked for food the second night. The following day (48 hours after onset of symptoms) morning temperature was 99.3 degrees F and evening temperature was 99.8 degrees F. Overall condition was clearly improved, and the magnesium dosing frequency was decreased to 125 cc every eight hours. The next day the child appeared to have been cured of his condition, although it was noted that he was still slightly sensitive to light. Dosing was continued at 125 cc every eight hours. On the next day (four days after being stricken) recovery was deemed complete, and magnesium therapy was discontinued. The following day showed a morning temperature of 98.6 degrees F and an evening temperature of 99.4 degrees F. 
   
   
3. The third case reported on by Dr. Neveu was a 47-year-old woman who presented with complete paralysis in the right lower leg and in the lower back. A complete cure was observed on the magnesium therapy, but it required 12 days of treatment. 
   
   
4. A 13-year-old boy had an abrupt onset of chills with shivering and headache. Temperature was 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). The next day the temperature was 38.8 degrees C, and there was severe pain in the head, neck, and back. His eyes could not tolerate light. The temperature went back up to 40.4 degrees C. The physician (not Dr. Neveu) told the boy's mother that he suspected the child contracted polio, and that he would check back in two days. The following morning the mother said all symptoms were even more severe. She had seen an article about Dr. Neveu and his magnesium therapy and convinced him to see her son at home. Dr. Neveu termed the child's condition a "swiftly progressing poliomyelitis," and he gave the child his first dose of 125 cc of the magnesium chloride solution (20 grams in one liter of water), to be repeated every six hours. Temperature was still 39.6 degrees C at that time. The following morning the head, neck, and back pain had subsided. Morning temperature was 37.1 degrees C and evening temperature was 37.8 degrees C. The child began to engage in normal activities. On the following day only two doses of the magnesium were taken, and slight head discomfort returned with a temperature back up to 38.2 degrees C. Three doses were taken the next day, and the following day the magnesium was discontinued with morning temperature of 37.2 degrees C and evening temperature of 37 degrees C. A complete cure had been achieved. 
   
   
5. 9-year-old boy with right lower leg paralysis. Completely cured by Dr. Neveu with one week of magnesium therapy. 
   
   
6. 13-year-old girl with stiffness in the back and lower limb nervous trembling. Magnesium therapy resulted in a rapid clinical response. The parents discontinued the magnesium, and Dr. Neveu later restarted it, but the child ended up keeping a paralysis of the extensor muscle of her left big toe, probably because of the interruption in the treatment. 
   
   
7. 20-year-old woman with a persistent headache that progressed to vomiting and a stiff neck and back. The family physician suspected polio. The pain became so severe that the patient threatened to commit suicide. After the first dose of magnesium given by Dr. Neveu, the woman had enough pain relief to allow her to sleep. A complete cure was realized with 12 days of magnesium therapy. 
   
   
8. 3-year-old girl who had been hospitalized for polio and was discharged to home with paralysis in both legs. Magnesium therapy was started a full 25 days after the polio was contracted. After two weeks of treatment, a great deal of leg mobility had returned. Following physical rehabilitation, she remained with a slight limp. 
   
   
9. 20-year-old male farmer who was already paralyzed in both legs and the right arm. Magnesium was started 32 days after the initial polio attack. He responded well, and he was able to walk with crutches after four months of treatment. Two years later he could walk with just the assistance of a cane. 
   
   
10. 19-year-old woman who first saw Dr. Neveu four months after the initial polio attack. Her left leg was not only paralyzed, it had also begun to atrophy. She was treated for 15 days with the magnesium and demonstrated marked improvement of the leg. She was eventually able to ride a bicycle and walk with a limp. 
    
    
11. 2-year-old girl who received magnesium treatment 17 days after the initial polio attack. When first seen she was unable to stand and could not move her right arm. While her legs regained completely normal function, her right shoulder remained paralyzed. 
    
    
12. 4-year-old girl with right arm and right leg paralysis who received magnesium treatment 10 days after the initial polio attack. She eventually had a dramatic return of arm and leg function, but with only roughly 60% of normal strength. 
    
    
13. 2 and 1/2-year-old boy started on magnesium therapy ten days after diagnosis. The abdominal paralysis improved significantly after two days, and a complete recovery was seen after 21/2 months. 
    
    
14. 20-month-old male infant with polio diagnosed by spinal tap 12 days after onset of the clinical syndrome. His left foot was completely paralyzed, but he responded to magnesium well and was nearly normal after five months, but requiring the support of orthopedic shoes. 
    
    
15. 12-year-old girl who saw Dr. Neveu immediately after the onset of sore throat and stiff neck. Magnesium was started, but the stiffness increased and went down the spine initially. However, with continuation of the magnesium, the stiffness had resolved by the next morning. The sore throat was gone the following morning.

Similar health results have long been reported for virtually every disease and health condition using not only vitamin C and magnesium, but the spectrum of natural nutrients. (For proof, just search any nutrient or disease in the 29 million scientific articles in PubMed.) So, don't assume that eating right (varied organic fruits and vegetables and free-range animal products) and supplementing doesn't have an impact on your health or that more aggressive nutrient targeting and dosing may not even cure the incurable. 

Why are such results not shouted from the rooftops? Because there's no money in it for the status quo medical industry and their advertisers. Once ideas are entrenched by the flow of money, it's impossible to overturn them other than through revolution. 

You can be that revolution by taking your health into your own hands.
