Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hello Charlotte and Marilette Thank you for this service that you are providing. I am very pleased to be included. I am looking for the protocol for post-polio syndrome. It is characterized by muscle atrophy and weakness, fatigue, pain, plus joint degeneration and deformities. It is also characterized by respiratory muscle weakness, so there is under ventilation, weak swallowlling, and a tendency towards re-aspiration, which can lead to pneumonia. Two individuals in my life suffer greatly from this syndrome, and I would like to be of service to them. Thank you Janis =================================== Dear Janis, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Medical Background: Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that affects polio survivors years after recovery from an initial acute attack of the poliomyelitis virus. PPS is mainly characterized by new weakening in muscles that were previously affected by the polio infection and in muscles that seemingly were unaffected. Symptoms include slowly progressive muscle weakness, unaccustomed fatigue (both generalized and muscular), and, at times, muscle atrophy. Pain from joint degeneration and increasing skeletal deformities such as scoliosis are common. Some patients experience only minor symptoms. While less common, others may develop visible muscle atrophy, or wasting. PPS is rarely life-threatening. However, untreated respiratory muscle weakness can result in underventilation, and weakness in swallowing muscles can result in aspiration pneumonia. The severity of residual weakness and disability after acute poliomyelitis tends to predict the development of PPS. Patients who had minimal symptoms from the original illness will most likely experience only mild PPS symptoms. People originally hit hard by the poliovirus and who attained a greater recovery may develop a more severe case of PPS with a greater loss of muscle function and more severe fatigue. It should be noted that many polio survivors were too young to remember the severity of their original illness and that accurate memory fades over time. According to estimates by the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 440,000 polio survivors in the United States may be at risk for PPS. Researchers are unable to establish a firm prevalence rate, but they estimate that the condition affects 25 percent to 50 percent of these survivors, or possibly as many as 60 percent, depending on how the disorder is defined and which study is quoted. Patients diagnosed with PPS sometimes are concerned that they are having polio again and are contagious to others. Studies have shown that this does not happen. top The cause of PPS is unknown. However, the new weakness of PPS appears to be related to the degeneration of individual nerve terminals in the motor units that remain after the initial illness. A motor unit is a nerve cell (or neuron) and the muscle fibers it activates. The poliovirus attacks specific neurons in the brainstem and the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. In an effort to compensate for the loss of these neurons, ones that survive sprout new nerve terminals to the orphaned muscle fibers. The result is some recovery of movement and enlarged motor units. Years of high use of these enlarged motor units adds stress to the neuronal cell body, which then may not be able to maintain the metabolic demands of all the new sprouts, resulting in the slow deterioration of motor units. Restoration of nerve function may occur in some fibers a second time, but eventually nerve terminals malfunction and permanent weakness occurs. This hypothesis is consistent with PPS's slow, stepwise, unpredictable course. Source: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health. Pranic Healing: 1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment. 2. General sweeping several times using LWG. 3. Localized thorough sweeping on the affected parts located above the solar plexus area up to the head alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. 4. Localized thorough sweeping on the spine and on both sides of the spine alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. 5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front, sides and back of the lungs. Energize the lungs through the back of the lungs with LWG, LWO then LWR. Point your fingers away from the patient's head when energizing with O. 6. Localized thorough sweeping on the forehead chakra, ajna chakra, crown chakra, back head minor chakra, jaw minor chakras, throat chakra and throat minor chakra alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Energize the chakras with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. 7. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back heart chakra. Energize the heart chakra through the back heart chakra with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. 8. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus chakra and the liver. Energize the solar plexus with LWG, LWB then ordinary LWV. Apply more localized sweeping. 9. Localized thorough sweeping on the perineum minor chakra, sex chakra, navel chakra and basic chakra. Energize them with LWR. When energizing the basic chakra, visualize the energy going into the affected muscles and into the spine. 10. Localized thorough sweeping on the entire leg, their affected joints, the minor chakras of the hips, knees, and soles of the feet alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize the minor chakras with LWG then with lots of LWR. 11. If the arms are affected, apply localized thorough sweeping on the entire arms, their affected joints, the minor chakras of the armpits, elbows, and hands alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize the minor chakras with LWG then with lots of LWR. 12. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy. 13. Play the Meditation on Twin Hearts(MTH) CD. If the patient does not have any other conditions that prevent the proper practice of the MTH, instruct the patient to follow the guided Meditation. If the patient has a medical condition that makes the proper practice of the MTH not adviseable, instruct the patient to just listen to the MTH with both eyes open. 14. Repeat treatment 3 times per week. 15. Patient may practice the Meditation on Twin Hearts daily. Alternate the MTH with self healing with the MTH for psychological well-being.
