There are nearly two million North American survivors of the polio epidemics that terrorised the world during the middle of the twentieth century. More than half are now experiencing Post-Polio Sequelae - overwhelming fatigue, severe muscle weakness, and chronic pain.
In this blueprint for well-being Dr Richard Bruno describes the cause and treatment of PPS. Drawing on his two decades of research, he also explains the remarkable parallels between the polio epidemics, PPS, and today's epidemics of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
His findings will astonish - and change the lives of many; for example, Baby Boomers diagnosed with CFS, who were born before the discovery of the polio vaccine, may have had a mild case of polio in childhood and may actually have PPS today.
