Viruses and the Intestines
The Vagus Nerve: the body’s life nerve.
Dr. Bruno’s Original Post: This new study finds that viruses damage intestine's nerves and is a "surprising cause" of constipation. Surprising? Polio survivors knew this 60 years ago!
Polioviruses can enter the brain and spinal cord via the vagus nerve that controls the gut, and damages the vagus and its brain stem control centers – Slow Polio Gut = Constipation.

Look in the Index of the Encyclopedia of Polio and PPS under the topics of “Constipation” and “Bowel/Bladder” for more information.
