CHRONIC SYMBIOTIC ANTERIOR POLIOMYELITIS OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING WITH COMPLETE PARALYSIS WITH ATROPHY FROM HIPS TO TOES
Mrs. V. N., age 23, when first observed on April 5, 1943, by Dr. Wendell Hendricks. She could not walk, so she was carried into Dr. Hendricks’ office and placed in the chair; picked up and carried our again. She received the Oxidation Reagent on April 7, 1943, and a steady recovery followed. The dose was repeated on June 23, 1944, and on November 14, 1944, because the case was complicated by terrific migraine that was related to the polio infection. The calf measurements were right leg 4 inches, left leg 10 inches in circumference. The right leg was 2 inches shorter than the left. Both were completely useless, except as serving with steel braces from hips to toes for three point suspension, so she could swing about the house with crutches; otherwise, she was confined to the bed or the wheel chair. There was no voluntary motion, nor reflex motion, nor strength. The attack came at the age of one and a half years. Toward the end of the nineteenth year, contractures set in which required remaining in bed for the most part, as she could no longer wear the braces with comfort. During her 18-week and 63-week — after the first Treatment, she had reactions of chills and fevers with more rapid improvement thereafter. The migraines disappeared completely in 1944. She was able to walk in about six months and in twenty-one months she was practically normal, able to run stairs and work all day standing on her feet without the use of braces or any other contraptions. The right leghad grown to be only ½ inch shorter than the left, right calf 10 inches, left calf 11½ inches, function perfect and health excellent.
