Polio: It’s Time to Take a Second Look

What comes to your mind when you hear the word POLIO? 

Do you picture thousands of crippled children in beds? Or, do you envision helpless people trying to breathe inside a coffin-like respirator known as the iron lung?

For myself, I rarely think about polio because it’s never been an issue of concern in my lifetime. The disease had been eradicated in the United States by 1979 and my generation didn’t experience any outbreaks or problems. But when I speak to my mother, who lived during polio epidemics of the 1940’ and 50’s, I hear something along these lines: “Polio was a horrible disease. People were terrified of getting it. It was a frightening time to be a child because if you came down with polio, you could end up paralyzed, or even dead.” 

One website says:

“In 1952 alone, nearly 60,000 children were infected with the virus; thousands were paralyzed, and more than 3,000 died. Hospitals set up special units with iron lung machines to keep polio victims alive. Rich kids as well as poor were left paralyzed.”

The virus was known as poliomyelitis and the public was told that it was highly contagious, affecting mostly children under age five. It could cause flu-like symptoms such as sore throat, fever, tiredness, headache, a stiff neck and stomach ache. For a small portion of people, polio affected the brain and spinal cord, which could lead to meningitis and, for one out of 200, paralysis. Some unfortunate victims also suffered death.

Since polio primarily broke out in the summer, many parents kept their children inside for the season to avoid contracting the disease. Public swimming pools were closed down and people avoided public gatherings such as fairs and sports games. Some parents wouldn’t let their children play with “new friends” unless they could be sure they were polio free.

It wasn’t until 1955 that an injectable polio vaccine would be developed by Jonas Salk. In 1961, an oral polio vaccine was created by Dr. Albert Sabin. Until this point, people were extremely fearful about a virus that seemed to be destructive and unpredictable.

Certainly, this sounds truly frightening and I must admit that if I lived back then, I would be very concerned and maybe even paranoid. This is because in those days there were no alternative sources of truth. There was no internet or Rumble, Gab, Bitchute, etc. to present more than one side. The mainstream media (which included newspapers, radio and TV broadcasts) was all that one had for accessing world/local news, as well as facts and information on important events.

 During the polio epidemics, only one narrative was given to the public– 

  • THE POLIO VIRUS IS DEADLY AND HIGHLY TRANSMISSABLE.
  • BE VERY AFRAID.  

But what if what we were told about polio isn’t the full truth? What if the polio virus isn’t what caused so much death and paralysis in the 1940’s and 50’s, as well as in the decades before this?

Yes, it sounds like I’m about to go down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole. But stay with me. After all, if you are even reading my blog then you are probably wide awake about what happened during the Covid PLAN-demic. For several years, as well as today, we were fed a narrative to terrify us into getting a vaccine that killed millions worldwide. This is similar to what happened during the polio outbreaks of the 1940’s and 50’s. 

During the Covid PLAN-demic:

We were told anyone could spread Covid, even asymptomatic people.
We were told that quarantining and social distancing were the main ways to "stay safe."
We were told the vaccines were safe and effective. 
We were told we would protect our neighbors by getting vaccinated. 
We were told the vaccines were our only way out of the pandemic.

But everything we were told was a LIE! 

Do we really think this hasn’t happened before? Certainly, it has and I’m going to share why I feel that there are some big holes in the polio epidemic story that most of us have been told.

No matter what you read here today, I encourage you to do your own research. Obviously, don’t use “google” or search engines to find answers. They will lead you to the same narrative.

Two really great books that document the history of polio are The Moth in the Iron Lung by Forest Maready and Turtles all the Way Down by Mary Holland. Both books provide resources and links you can check out for yourself. I always follow up on anything I read with research to verify the truth. Yes, it’s time consuming, but it’s worth the effort. 

Additionally, you may be wondering why we should even worry about polio since it’s been eradicated in the industrialized world. The truth, however, is that as you study what happened during the polio outbreaks around the globe, you are going to find striking parallels to what happened during the Covid plan-demic.

Here’s something else that’s important to understand– A pandemic simulation took place in Brussels, Belgium in 2022. The notorious Bill Gates, along with Johns Hopkins and the World Health Organization (WHO) participated in a “fictitious” tabletop exercise called Catastrophic Contagion which simulates a a virus that strikes the entire world, causing paralysis and brain damage. They name the disease SEERS (Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome) and it affects mainly children. Sound familiar?

While there’s no way of knowing if these diabolical globalists will actually release some sort of virus or poison on society that paralyzes children or causes brain damage, it’s good to have our heads in the game so we can determine fact from fiction if we have to. Let’s not forget that two simulations were carried out before the Covid outbreak that were oddly similar to what actually happened in real life.

In 2017 a pandemic simulation known as SPARS took place which featured a “novel” coronavirus that devastates the world. If you look through the published guide describing the role-playing event, you’ll find so many similarities to the real Covid outbreak that you’ll stop counting! It talks about everything from anti-vaxxers, to using the government to squash “misinformation” on social media. It even addresses vaccine injuries that occur years after shots are given. This pandemic simulation took place the same year Dr. Death Anthony Fauci announced via T.V. that President Trump would be facing a surprise outbreak during his tenure as president.  Fauci said, “If there’s one message that I want to leave with you today based on my experience, it is that there is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases.” This was just three years before the 2020 Covid plan-demic.

If that weren’t enough, in 2019 there was another simulation called Event 201 that took place in New York City– courtesy of Bill Gates, Johns Hopkins and the World Economic Forum. At this event, a novel coronavirus that is transmitted from pigs to bats to humans, was discussed and role-played.  

Coincidence? No, I don’t think so. 

Will a polio-type virus be unleashed upon the world at some point?

We can only speculate. We do know that the World Health Organization, who sponsored the Catastrophic Contagion simulation event, is working on implementing more than 300 amendments to the International Health Regulations, as well as a Pandemic Treaty. Their target date to have it all competed is 2024. Their goal is to gain complete control over all healthcare with their “One Health” approach. Basically, they want to institute vaccine passports, have control over all medical treatments, institute lockdowns and censor any information they consider “misinformation.” They also want control over water, food, energy and just about anything you can imagine.  In fact, the WHO just announced their partnership with the European Commission to launch an interoperable digital vaccine passport “to establish a global system that will help facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats, including pandemics.” In other words, you won’t be able to travel without your injections. It’s obvious these globalists are setting the stage so they can institute their “One World Beast System.”

I could go on and on, but let’s get to it and learn about POLIO.

THE STORY OF POLIO………..

Here is what most of us have been told: (the “official” account)….

“Polio is caused by the poliovirus, a member of the enterovirus family. The virus typically enters the body through the mouth and makes its way to the gastrointestinal tract (the gut), where it multiplies rapidly. From the gut, the virus sometimes passes into the bloodstream, and from where it may, in some cases, invade the central nervous system and damage the nerve cells responsible for motion. Injury to the nerve cells most often manifests in a specific type of paralysis–medically termed acute flaccid paralysis–of one or more limbs. …about ten days elapse between the entry of the virus into the body and the onset of paralysis. In a small proportion of cases, the muscles that activate the respiratory system are also damaged and the patient may die of suffocation. Not all people infected with poliovirus will be paralyzed. Most will not even get sick, while others may come down with flu-like illness. Only about one in 150 or 200 infections may result in paralysis.” Turtles all the Way Down pgs. 371-372

Other facts we’ve read or heard are:

Transmission mainly occurs via the fecal-oral route as the virus is excreted in the feces for several weeks after a person is contagious. Anyone coming in contact with small bits of the feces can become infected.

The poliovirus only causes disease in humans. Since it doesn’t infect animals, it’s possible to wipe out the disease if the virus is eradicated.

Facts about the “official history” of polio:

Polio has been around for thousands of years- as early as 1500 BCE- cases may have been documented in ancient Egypt where a stone slab depicts a priest with a withering of his right leg and foot. Additionally, a mummy was excavated that shows a deformed leg and foot. These examples, however, do not point to any epidemics or widespread cases of paralysis or polio.

The first medical case of polio appeared in a book published in 1789- Dr. Michael Underwood described symptoms such as acute fever and weakness in one or more limbs. The disease was limited to infants and young children, though there’s no mention of outbreaks. A cause was not determined.

From 1790 to around 1840, there were other reports of what was called “infantile paralysis.” The causes, however, were unknown and there were no epidemics or large outbreaks at this time. Cases were sporadic and lacked a specific pattern.

In the late 1800’s small outbreaks began in the United States and Europe-

  • For example, Sweden noted 44 cases of paralysis in the summer of 1887 
  • Norway had at least 13 cases in 1868.
  • America documented 132 cases in Vermont in 1894.

Cases increased in the early 1900’s with a large outbreak taking place in New York City in 1916 – there were 9,000 cases of paralysis at this time. Sweden had 1,031 cases in 1905.

For the most part, polio outbreaks were sporadic in the first half of the 20th century, but they only happened in industrialized countries, with no clear pattern to these epidemics.

In the 1940’s (after World War 2), outbreaks increased significantly and then peaked in the 1950’s. Again, these epidemics were confined to industrialized nations only. Large outbreaks in poorer, less developed nations were almost non-existent, especially before the 1960’s.

Polio epidemics in places like England, Germany, Japan, Czechoslovakia, and Netherlands began in the 1940’s, while France, Belgium and the Soviet Union experienced them in the 1950’s. Israel began seeing a sharp rise in polio cases in 1949.

U.S. and British soldiers contracted polio, especially during the World War 2 years. When these soldiers were stationed overseas in less developed countries/areas such as North Africa, Philippines, China and the Middle East, they came down with polio but mysteriously, the locals of the area did not. In most instances, the people who were native to these less industrialized nations had zero cases of polio. This was quite odd as the sanitation in these countries was poor and polio was classified as a highly contagious disease.

POLIO RESEARCH TIMELINE

In the mid-1800’s, doctors and researchers believed polio paralysis occurred when the gray matter of the spinal cord was damaged, but they didn’t yet know the cause. 

In 1908 a biologist named Karl Landsteiner was able to isolate the virus that causes polio. More researchers and scientists began studying and experimenting with what they believed was the pathogen.

In the 1930’s Franklin D. Roosevelt (who was paralyzed by polio as a child) founded an organization called the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and lots of money was invested in order to study the disease. After years of research by many scientists, an injectable vaccine was created due to the work of Jonas Salk. Not too long afterward, Albert Sabin’s oral version was developed.

The Salk and Sabin vaccines led to the disappearance of polio disease in industrialized countries in the 1960’s and 70’s as infants and young children were administered vaccines on a mass scale. Vaccines also reduced morbidity in developing nations in the 21st century (which would experience outbreaks of polio at much later times than industrialized countries). 

Today the World Health Organization (WHO) is trying to eradicate the disease through intense vaccination programs in the developing nations of Africa, as well as the Middle East and Asia. However, vaccine induced polio has been occurring in many of these countries because the oral vaccine can be shed in the feces. Since these countries often have poor sanitation, the belief is that the live virus is spread via the shed vaccine to those who are not vaccinated, or have compromised immunity.  

Currently (as of 2023) wild Polio remains endemic in two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Now, put your seatbelts on……… here’s the history and facts you likely NEVER heard:

 The Moth in the Iron Lung, a fascinating book that documents the history of polio, poses this question to ponder:  

“What caused a previously innocuous virus to begin paralyzing people–seemingly random at first in the early 1800’s, then more frequently in epidemic form in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s? For all fanfare of victory over the dreaded disease, few seem interested in finding out why the vaccine was necessary at all.”

Now let’s dive into some lesser-known facts:

While there were some isolated cases of paralysis that show up in early medical literature, polio was almost completely unknown to most doctors before the 1900’s. In fact, in 1916 when a large outbreak happened in New York City, physicians had to attend classes to learn about the symptoms of polio because the majority of them had never seen one single case of it.

Even in 1932, after many years of research had been done, the scientists couldn’t figure something out. An international group trying to make sense of polio’s sudden rise stated, “No circumstance in the history of poliomyelitis is so baffling as its change, during the last two decades of the 19th century, from a sporadic to an epidemic disease.”

To understand why polio would go from a sporadic, pattern-less disease that affected pockets of children and people in the early 1800’s and then morph into a disease that produced larger outbreaks in the early 1900’s all the way through the 1940’s and 50’s, we need to see what else was happening.

Let’s look first at the 1800’s, where cases of polio were recorded, but they were not epidemic outbreaks, and did not fit the profile of “infectious disease.” 

Take some early cases that occurred in a small town in England called Workshop. A doctor named Charles Badham wrote about a mysterious illness that happened in the summer of 1835. Four children under the age of three came down with paralysis of their lower extremities. Their eyes were also turned inward. Badham was disturbed, but also confused. He had seen paralysis before, but not in several different children at once. Their health, other than the paralysis and eye issues, was intact. At this time another doctor in Germany had read Dr. Badham’s reports about the cases of paralysis. He saw striking similarities to his own patients. For example, fourteen children experienced paralysis of the legs and sometimes the arms. Yet, other than this, their health was excellent.

For the next fifty years, reports of infantile paralysis in healthy children would show up in medical literature. But something else was significant at this time. Almost always, teething was identified as a contributing factor in a large number of cases. 

In Philadelphia in 1867, a surgeon named Charles Taylor published a detailed paper documenting infantile paralysis. He was concerned because he was seeing an increase in the number of cases. He incorrectly surmised that the paralysis was being caused by a lack of blood flow. But he noted something else which had also been documented in earlier cases: 

“Case 6– T. T., aged two years and a half, was paralyzed while teething.” 

Taylor also stated, “a majority of those cases, however, have about this history: the child is getting its first molar teeth.” In Taylor’s book, he also shared the testimony of a father who explains that his daughter developed paralysis while teething. 

Believe it or not, many people who lived in the mid to late 1800’s believed that teething was a dangerous period in a child’s life. Many thought it was common to experience convulsions during this phase. One article published in Louisiana in 1841 was called, “Paralysis in Teething Children” and it gave details about this dangerous stage of development. Another common thought at this time was that a child’s bowels needed to be “regular” in order to avoid these complications of teething.

And here’s where we start to uncover a clue.

What did they use to treat teething children?

Are you ready for it?

MERCURY!

Yes, they used the earth’s most toxic substance to treat babies for this problem.

In fact, medical literature from the 1800’s through the early 1900’s is full of examples of treatments that included mercury-based products: mercury iodide, mercury benzoate, mercuric chloride, mercury cyanide- they were all used. In fact, one could say that mercury treatments were as common as aspirin. Mercury cyanide was even used to treat pink eye in babies!

Two products that contained mercury were called Steedman’s Soothing Powders and Stedman’s Teething Powders (Yes, they have similar names). Each dose of teething powders could contain as much as 47 milligrams of mercury chloride powder. It was to be placed on the back of the infant’s tongue and washed down with milk or water.

Mercury poisoning could cause pink disease in children. This became prevalent in the early 1900’s due to the overuse of toxic teething powders. Medically, it was known as infantile acrodynia and this condition would cause pain in the hands and feet, which included tingling, pricking, chilling and burning.  Even though mercury is toxic, it remained in some teething products until well after the 1940’s. Today, mercury is used in vaccines such as the flu shots, but it’s labeled as thimerosal, which is a mercury-based preservative. Of course, mercury is also used in metal dental fillings, though most people now opt for ceramic fillings instead.

Nowadays, we know that paralysis is a known side-effect of mercury poisoning. But they didn’t know this in the 1800’s. Interestingly enough, mercury poisoning causes excessive thirst and many early accounts of polio note this very thing, which was often labeled as “augmented thirst.”

The suspected cases of sporadic polio that erupted among children in the 1800’s-1900’s may very well be linked to mercury poisoning because teething powders contained them, as well as a variety of other medicines used to treat human ailments.

But there’s even more to the story.

In 1869, infestations of potato beetles and gypsy moths had inundated the United States. A new pesticide was launched into the agricultural realm to deal with them. Known as Paris Green, this arsenic-based product had been developed in the early 1800’s to be used as an emerald-colored pigment for toys, wallpaper, candy wrappers, and sometimes food. But its claim to fame was its effectiveness as an agricultural pesticide. Even though it was known that arsenic was highly toxic, Paris Green was generously used, especially during times of heavy pest infestation. The thought was that the risk was worth it when considering crop loss.

Following the use of Paris Green, some physicians began writing about a growing problem: paralysis that followed arsenic poisoning. 

One doctor writes: “In lead paralysis the forearms are usually affected, arsenical paralysis tends to involve all the limbs; the lower limbs are more affected.” 

Studies in animals were showing a similar phenomenon.  One scientist documented what happened to animals after arsenic consumption:

“Arsenic, even in a few hours after it’s ingestion, may cause distinct lesions of the spinal cord, of the type known as acute central myelitis, or acute poliomyelitis.”

Even farmers noticed that Paris Green may be causing illness, muscle weakness and paralysis. Some asked for a safer alternative by writing into agricultural journals.

By 1892 the infestations of gypsy moths would skyrocket. The application of Paris Green didn’t work as efficiently because the pests seemed to have developed an immunity to the toxin. Also, Paris Green did not stick to leaves very well and easily washed off. Insects could eat these leaves without ingesting the toxic substance. 

A scientist was tasked with creating a pesticide that was more effective and toxic than Paris Green, and one that would not wash off of plants easily. After some tinkering, this scientist found a way to make arsenic more effective and toxic to the gypsy moths and other agricultural pests. It involved adding one essential ingredient.

Do you want to know what this ingredient is?
Okay, here it goes…..

LEAD

Yes, lead rhymes with dead

But that didn’t matter to anyone because by adding lead to arsenic they were able to kill more crop-eating bugs. Rain could not wash off the toxic concoction either, so they only had to spray this mixture once for a long-lasting effect. 

Farmers and homeowners had easy access to this new formulation known as lead arsenate and they used it readily. Everything was sprayed, from fruit trees to vegetables.

As if in sync with lead arsenic being used in a pesticide, cases of poliomyelitis (labeled as polio) began to increase. Pockets of cases appeared in the summertime to early fall. Eight or nine kids here, six cases there- small groups of children would show up at local hospitals, bewildering the community. Many suspected an infectious disease, but couldn’t find a clear pattern of how it spread. No one thought about the lead arsenate pesticides that were sprayed on the fruit and other crops being eaten by children. The summer and early fall were popular times to visit orchards/farms to pick fruit.

By 1894 there was some awareness of arsenic poisoning as news of death associated with arsenic in wallpaper became publicly known. Nonetheless, the use of lead arsenate continued and was sprayed on not only fruit trees, but vegetables and fruits. Vermont was one state that used lead arsenate readily to get rid of apple worms. As if on cue, cases of “acute nervous disease” began springing up. By the end of the outbreak, 123 people would be victims of this “new illness” and 18 would die. 

Below is one description of a victim:

 “Boy: six years old, previous health fair. On one or two occasions had convulsions, presumably due to gastrointestinal disturbance…was seized…they continued for nine hours, moderate fever, rapid pulse, vomiting and rigidity of the muscles of the neck and back. No paralysis noted during conscious intervals. Retention of urine during last three days of illness. Death on the sixth day.”

Other cases note indigestion, diarrhea, severe pains in stomach and head, convulsions, headaches and rashes.  All of these symptoms can be associated with heavy metal poisoning and/or arsenic poisoning. Again, it’s essential to note that these cases happened in the summer to late fall when it was common for children and families to pick and eat fruit. Lead arsenate was very difficult to wash off of plants and it’s certain that residue would have been left behind. 

It wasn’t just people who were experiencing symptoms of a nervous disorder. Animals were being affected too. Dogs, chickens, cows, pigs and horses also experienced paralysis and sickness. These animals were around the sprayed pesticides and even ingested food and water with the chemicals on it. Outbreaks in other developed countries that occurred in the early 1900’s also note instances of paralysis among animals. Of course, they didn’t call these cases polio because the consensus was that only humans contracted polio.

The 1894 outbreak in Vermont would be labeled as the first epidemic of polio in the United States. No one tied anything to the spraying of lead arsenate on the crops and trees. The truth is that they didn’t want to see the connection. Lead and arsenic cause paralysis and nervous system damage. That’s a fact and they even knew it back then. Yet these toxic chemicals were being generously used on food and around animals. Additionally, cattle were dipped in long ditches filled with arsenic and water- their entire body was put into the toxic substance to ward off the pest known as the cattle tick. Nonetheless, their milk and meat were given to people for consumption. There have actually been documented cases of people diagnosed with polio after they all ingested the same milk products.  

The connection should have been obvious. Investigators at this time found arsenic residue on peas, carrots, apples, mushrooms, pears, rice, beef, veal, eggs, potatoes, spinach, white beans, cabbage, lettuce, dried peas and dried fruits. But that didn’t seem to matter. Anyone who tried to bring this information to light was ridiculed or shut down. The truth was muzzled. It was always insisted that while arsenic and lead were toxic, the levels used on the crops were diluted and “safe.”

All the while, it appeared that children were the most susceptible to the effects of what was labeled as “polio.” 

Here are a few questions to consider regarding children:

  • Was it their small bodies and less developed nervous systems that made them targets of this disease, or susceptible to the effects of poisonous pesticides?
  • A child’s spinal cord is very close to their intestines. Did this give polio a more direct route for invasion? Could this same proximity allow poisons like mercury, lead and arsenic to have a clear path for causing a toxic overload? 
  •  Was it their underdeveloped gut that made a virus and/or poison able to attack easier? 
  • Did heavy metals from teething powders and pesticides make their body less able to fend off a virus such as polio? After all, metals have been known to impede immune function.
  • Was “polio” an actual virus, or was it simply heavy metal poisoning? 
  • Were these “polio” deaths and cases of paralysis a combination of both a virus and a poison––thus, the metal toxicity weakened the immune system to the point that a once harmless or less harmful virus could now invade, paralyze or kill? 

These questions are still a mystery……..

By 1914 farmers were still spraying their crops with lead arsenate. There were even laws requiring them to do it! It’s important to realize that even though lead arsenate was used in the agricultural industry, it’s ingredients were also used in some popular medicines used to treat fevers, asthma, ulcers, leukemia, syphilis and other systemic diseases. One medicine, called Fowler’s Solution, contained potassium arsenite (arsenic) and was prescribed as a tonic for all sorts of conditions. Ironically, even mercury was used to treat patients with polio when they were experiencing constipation from the paralysis of their bowels. Certainly, that made their condition worse.

 It’s easy to see how many people could have experienced a toxic overload during the historic outbreaks of polio. No human body is alike and what may poison one person may not affect another.  During this time in history, no one was doing studies about the cumulative effect of poisons such as arsenic and lead. Over the span of many years, how did toxins affect children versus adults? At the time, it was believed that only large or inappropriate doses of a substance could cause significant harm. Also, no one was studying what happens when the gastrointestinal system of a person is damaged by heavy metals from pesticides or toxic compounds. If someone has incurred significant damage, what happens when they come in contact with a pathogen?  

(In case you’re wondering what happened to the other pesticide, Paris Green… well, after losing its position in the pesticide top spot, it was rebranded as a rat poison. This tells us just how reckless the industry was at this point in history).

But the recklessness of pesticides fell to the wayside. Corrupt organizations like the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research worked to make sure that medical science only pointed to the poliovirus as the culprit when it came to the death and paralysis that was happening in the United States and beyond.  Doctors who proposed anything that went against the agreed upon science were shunned or severely criticized. Some things never change do they?

Over time, however, a safer alternative to lead arsenate was considered as it was eventually proven that lead arsenate leaves deep deposits in fruit, vegetables and the soil–thus it was very difficult to rinse it off, or get rid of. Also, the public was becoming more educated about the dangers of this product.

It took quite a while to find an alternative. But even when one was found, the use of lead arsenate wasn’t banned until 1988. Unfortunately, the top layer of the soil still contained deposits that would remain for decades, and even up until present day. Actually, arsenic deposits have still been found in Rutland County, the site of America’s first polio epidemic. That area topped the list in lead arsenic deposits.

At the turn of the 20th century, polio became more prevalent among children. Epidemics always started in the summer. This didn’t make sense as children were not in school. Thus they were not exposed to each other in large numbers. When the 1940’s hit, epidemics increased significantly, with at least one every year. The same thing was happening in other industrialized nations. What was going on?

While lead arsenate had phased its way out of agriculture, there was another pesticide that slid its way into the fields of America and other developed nations.

It was a new synthetic insecticide called DDT. 

Though it was invented in 1874, it wasn’t until 1939 that DDT’s amazing insecticidal properties were discovered. DDT was extremely effective at killing insects on crops, but it was also lethal to mosquitoes and lice. It was cheap, easy to use, and deemed safe by its manufacturers. This insecticide killed pests by paralyzing their nervous system. It was very durable– lasting for months after an application.

DDT was touted as a modern-day miracle. It killed insects that caused malaria and typhus. In 1943 the military began using it during World War 2 to protect soldiers –it was sprayed all over soldier’s encampments and even sprinkled inside their uniforms.  It was used in civilian areas as well–in fields, orchards, on animals, in homes, on city streets, trains, buildings and public buildings. It was sprayed directly onto mattresses and even on blankets. It was used in all phases of food production from farming to transportation. It was impossible for food not to be contaminated with DDT in the 1940’s as it was literally EVERYWHERE. It was also used overseas in industrialized nations.

Early studies in 1944 were conducted on the safety of DDT and they revealed it was toxic to animals and humans in certain concentrations.  One study said,

“DDT is capable of causing subacute toxicity when given in small amounts in the diet for periods of from 3 days to 20 weeks.”

The research also noted that toxicity varies from one subject to another and therefore it was difficult to determine what amount is toxic for most. Other studies were done which concluded that DDT poisoning can cause muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, paralysis, headache, vomiting and sickness. Unfortunately, these studies were ignored because it was believed that as long as proper amounts of DDT were used, no ill effects would be seen.

A doctor named Morton Biskind began seeing lots of patients with headaches, vomiting, muscle weakness, nausea and paralysis. He looked to science for the answers but found there weren’t many comprehensive studies of the effects of DDT on humans. He also realized there was no proper safety testing to determine if DDT was safe on vulnerable populations like women and children. He decided to investigate further and found that exposure to DDT can create lesions on the anterior horns of the spinal cord that resemble polio. Biskind soon discovered that when DDT became widely used as a pesticide, the incidences of polio and degenerative problems rose significantly in all countries who used the toxic compound. He called for an investigation of DDT and its toxic effects. 

His initial pleas went unanswered as DDT was seen as necessary to keep malaria and other insect borne diseases at bay, as well as for protection of crops from insects. One article explains:

“Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Muller won the 1948 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for discovering the effectiveness of DDT against yellow fever and malaria. Chemical giants such as DuPont and Geigy manufactured large quantities of the insecticide for use during World War II and government regulators (such as those at the Food and Drug Administration) dismissed Biskind’s claims.”  

It’s hard to overstate the seriousness of this issue. A pesticide which can lead to muscle fatigue, paralysis and even death, continued being used even after huge warning signals were given.  Yes, DDT helped save lives in that it killed insects that cause malaria and yellow fever, but at the same time, DDT was causing deaths and long-term neurological problems.

What good is saving lives if it means permanently damaging the brains and bodies of countless children, as well as adults? 

According to the EPA, in the 30 years prior to DDT’s eventual cancellation, a total of approximately 1,350,000,000 pounds of DDT was used domestically. It should be noted that DDT can travel long distances in the upper atmosphere and persistently lingers in the environment long after its sprayed. Moreover, it accumulates in the fatty tissues and organs.

Rachel Carson wrote about the dangers of DDT in her 1962 book titled Silent Spring. Its damning facts about DDT caused the U.S. government to take notice and soon thereafter establish the Environmental Protection Agency. Of course, Carson was attacked for her work and called all sorts of names. But it was President John F. Kennedy who created a committee that reviewed and validated her findings. She was completely vindicated. This reminds me of another Kennedy who is doing the same thing, but with vaccines. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of John F. Kennedy, is leading the fight to expose Big Pharma’s lies and to wake people up to the dangers of vaccines. If you haven’t watched his recent interview with Joe Rogan, I highly suggest it.

Despite all this evidence about the use of toxic chemicals and pesticides, most of the researchers, scientists, and members of the medical community decided to pursue only one path- finding a vaccine for polio.  

On April 12, 1955 it was announced that an injectable polio vaccine was licensed for public use. The story trumpeted by “science” is that from that point on, annual cases dropped significantly and dramatically. A second type of polio vaccine (OPV) was developed later in the 1960’s. The oral vaccine continues being used overseas in lesser developed nations around the world. In the United States, only the injectable polio vaccine is still used.

The world applauded the polio vaccine, collectively agreeing it freed the world from polio. Yet, what is usually left out of the history books is the fact that polio infections and morbidities were already decreasing before the vaccine made its debut. Also, some other things were happening that are important to take into account. In 1957, just two years after release of the vaccine, “the Forest Service and U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, prohibited the spraying of DDT in specified protective strips around aquatic areas on lands under its jurisdiction.” The EPA also reports, “In 1958, after having applied approximately 9-1/2 million pounds of the chemical in its Federal-State control programs since 1945, USDA began to phase out its use of DDT. They reduced spraying of DDT from 4.9 million acres in 1957 to just over 100,000 acres in 1967 and used persistent pesticides thereafter only in the absence of effective alternatives. The major uses of DDT by the Forest Service have been against the gypsy moth and the spruce budworm. The development of alternative pesticides such as Zectran, which was in operation in 1966, contributed to further reduction in DDT use by the Department.” By the early 1970’s over 80% of DDT was used only on cotton crops, peanut or soybean crops. By 1972 the toxic DDT was banned in the United States for use in agriculture. Other industrialized countries followed suit as world-wide attention was put on the dangers of this neurotoxin. It was in 1979 that polio was declared eradicated in the United States and 1982 in the United Kingdom. Most other industrialized nations eradicated it within that time frame as well.

Another fact to consider is that the spraying of DDT in neighborhoods, schools and even within the military decreased by the mid-1950’s. While it decreased over time in agriculture, there was more of a dramatic decline in the spraying of common public areas.

DDT wasn’t just harmful to humans– it had a devastating impact on wildlife, particularly bald eagles, ospreys and peregrine falcons. The eggs of many birds became too thin because DDT inhibits calcium absorption. Some birds were poisoned by the harmful dust if they flew too close to areas of heavy spraying.

DDT was banned for agricultural uses worldwide in 2001 by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, but its use is still allowed in small quantities in countries that still need it.

It’s interesting to realize that DDT and other pesticides were first used in industrialized, developed nations and this is where polio was seen in higher numbers historically from the 1800’s to the 1950’s. But eventually, less industrialized nations/regions such as Africa, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and parts of Asia began using strong pesticides such as DDT.  As if in sync, polio suddenly erupted in these places. To this day, some of these nations still use DDT and polio continues to be problem. India is the largest producer of DDT and still sprays houses with it to protect people from mosquitoes that can cause malaria. India actually introduced the spraying of DDT in 1948 and thereafter is when their polio cases would emerge. 

In September 2006, the WHO declared its support for the indoor use of DDT in African countries where malaria remains a major health problem–they say the benefits of the pesticide outweigh the health and environmental risks. The EPA says “DDT is one of the 12 pesticides recommended by the WHO indoor residual spray programs. It’s up to individual countries to decide whether or not to use DDT.”

As of today, an oral polio vaccine is being used in places like Africa, India, Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s been reported that the oral vaccine is actually causing polio to spread as it’s a live virus which can spread in the feces. This has been happening in various parts of the world, allowing vaccine derived polio to remain in circulation.

Here’s the deal. I am not saying there’s no polio virus. I am questioning what could have contributed to outbreaks throughout history and thus, was there ever a need for a vaccine? 

The use of mercury, arsenic, lead, DDT and other harmful pesticides throughout history have horrible effects on health and mimic symptoms of polio. Researchers isolated some kind of pathogen when they made polio vaccines. Whether it was a virus, bacterium or something else, I don’t know. The problem is that the research on how polio even spreads is sketchy. I read through many of the animal studies and they do not prove polio spreads from person to person through normal contact as the CDC and public health authorities tell us. In fact, in most studies they tried to infect monkeys with the polio virus, but were unable through normal contact or even bodily fluids. Instead, unusual ways were used to prove their transmission theory such as: grinding up the spine of an infected monkey and then injecting it into the stomach or brain of another monkey! It’s interesting because case studies show that oftentimes family members who lived together with close contact didn’t all contract polio. Usually, it was just one family member who ended up with it. My friend, whose mother had polio, testified to the same thing.

Other ideas to consider are that polio can only be conclusively diagnosed after death.  While a clinical diagnosis can be done when a patient is alive by observing symptoms, the only way to really know is by taking a cross section of the person’s spinal column and placing it under a microscope. Then you should find gray lesions on the decaying nervous tissue. 

It is actually very hard for a virus to make its way to the nervous tissue- it would have to pass through the mucosal tissue of the intestines, then into the blood, and next through the blood brain barrier. Finally, it would end up at the base of the spinal cord. As the Moth in the Iron Lung explains:

“Throughout human history, the body appeared suitably equipped to handle poliovirus infections- its presence was more likely to create immunity than paralysis or any other problem. Something changed, starting in the late 1800’s, which turned this once harmless infection into a frequent killer.”

Even Albert Sabin, the inventor of the oral live polio vaccine, was confused by something he noticed with polio cases:

In 1943 (during World War 2) he wrote:

“The only mystery as I see it, is why the incidence is so much higher among our troops than among the natives.” 

Of course, now we have learned that troops and their camps were sprayed with the nerve damaging substance known as DDT. Soldiers carried cans of DDT powder to protect them from bedbugs, lice and mosquitoes. The “natives” of these other countries weren’t using DDT yet.

  • Did DDT and other pesticides weaken the immunity of thousands of people, thus allowing them to be more susceptible to polio?
  • What pathogen did the researchers isolate when creating their polio vaccine?
  • If extremely toxic pesticides were never used to begin with, would polio have reared its ugly head?

We will probably never know the full truth. Here’s something to think about however. 

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has been the main driver of vaccinations in our nation for over 76 years. Did you know that the CDC began as the OFFICE OF MALARIA CONTROL ACTIVITIES. When they began in 1942 their goal was to end malaria transmission in the United States. And guess what?

Beginning in 1943 one of their jobs was to spray people’s homes with DDT to keep them mosquito free. In 1946, their name changed to the CDC and their mission included disease control and of course, vaccination, vaccination, vaccination.

I know malaria is a disease that kills millions world-wide. Most people who were part of the DDT campaign likely thought they were helping. But the big issue here is the blatant lack of safety testing. Also, the government and the pesticide companies deliberately suppressed information on the toxicity of DDT and other pesticides. Even doctors went along with it, refusing to do any real research.

Yes, many would say that DDT and other pesticides prevented death from illnesses caused by insects. Also it prevented world-wide starvation because bugs would have eaten all the crops. Those same arguments are made about vaccines. But the cold hard truth is that most of the time, safety testing which is thorough and accurate isn’t done because companies and governments want things produced cheaply and quickly. They want to make money. Additionally, there other agendas at play such as depopulation.

If we look at the rise of Autism, ADHD and both neurological and autoimmune disorders exploding in our nation, we have to wonder what’s driving it. No, we don’t use DDT, Paris Green and lead arsenate anymore on our crops, but do we know what’s in our food and vaccines? Most people have no clue that metals such as aluminum and thimerosal (mercury) are in many vaccines that are given to young children and babies. They are also in vaccines given to adults. Aluminum is a neurotoxin and has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders.

Also, what some may not know is that there have only been studies that measure the safety of ingested aluminum- this is aluminum that is eaten and can later exit the body. No significant studies have been done on the safety of INJECTED aluminum that is shot directly into the blood. Aluminum, which is a nanoparticle, has the potential to cross the blood brain barrier when injected, as it is flowing in the bloodstream. Also, unlike ingested aluminum, which has a way to leave the body, injected aluminum stays circulating inside. Studies on mercury have proven that it can pass into the brain after being injected into the blood. The same is true for aluminum. The effects of toxic substances like mercury and aluminum can vary from one person to another as some people can clear toxins more readily than others.

There’s a myriad of other toxins in vaccines that are too numerous to list, but take some time to visit this link. Go through the vaccines and look at their ingredients. You will be shocked at what you find.

Does every person become sick or end up with an auto-immune or neurological issue when exposed to heavy metals and toxins? Just like the cases of polio, which only affected a certain portion of the population, it’s the same with vaccines and other toxins we are constantly exposed to. When I was young, I received a handful of vaccines- nowadays, kids can receive up to 16 vaccines (or more if they get the flu shot each year, or the Covid vaccine). This equals 70 or more doses because some vaccines include multiple shots and boosters. Not only that, we are now being bombarded by GMO foods and eating animals that are receiving many vaccinations–even mRNA vaccines. Furthermore, toxic pesticides are still being used and all sorts of things are sprayed in the air.

Well, this all sounds hopeless, but it really isn’t. We know the Bible tells us that there will be many who try to destroy the earth. There will be countless deceptions. But Jesus is going to come back and set it all straight. Until then, we need to be wise about what news and info we take as gospel, especially if it comes from government sources like the CDC, NIH, FBI, CIA and any other three letter agency you can name. 

My goal isn’t to scare you, or to make you an anti-vaxxer.

Instead, I want you to do your research and be wary of any coming deceptions. I don’t know what the globalists are planning next, but I can assure you that it will be an even greater deception than Covid. It will likely involve some kind of vaccine or medical treatment.

Keep praying and be ready. Until Jesus comes to take us home, we have to live in this dark world, but we can also be the light if we cling to the truth and tell others.

My children’s book should be released soon! Get ready for Hallelujah’s Great Ride– a story about Jesus’ return on his white horse!

  1. I couldn’t stop reading! You put into words what my intuition tries to tell me. I love that you put in the links for people to do further research. With 8 Grandchildren, the push for so many vaccines concerns me and it is difficult to explain to my children that WHO and the CDC have their own agendas. Thank you for all the research you do.

    1. Thank you Sandy! It’s hard because we are so used to trusting authority figures and institutions of authority. The veil is being lifted as we start seeing the One World Government plan unfold. We are living in a time where we have to constantly keep our eyes open and use discernment. But we are on the right team—-Team Jesus! Praying you are blessed and that you’ll be a light to everyone around you.
