Hello:
I was born and raised in Fullerton. In 1952 when the house I moved into on the corner of Raymond and Sudene was about 5 houses away from the orange grove, I contracted “polio.” It was mild case although all these years later I might be coming down with post-polio syndrome as I have unexplained weakness below my knees. The kid two doors down came down with polio and I seem to remember my parents said he ended up in an iron lung somewhere. I bring this up as in retrospect I wonder if DDT was sprayed in the orange groves…….I used to see trailer/tanks in there when we would go play in the groves.
When I first went to work at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital in 1972 there were still a few folks there in iron lungs who were polio victims……if that’s what it really was. I am now 69 y/o and have been an “out of the box” alternative approach cardiopulmonary physical therapist for 46 years, the last 27 in Murrieta California at Rancho Physical Therapy.
Love your blog and will subscribe to it!
