Encyclopedia of Polio and Post-Polio Sequelae
Dr. Bruno’s Original Post: A Message from Dr. Richard L. Bruno, HD, PhD:
“During the past 36+ years I've written three books and more than 600 articles, book chapters, monographs and commentaries about polio and the cause and treatment of Post-Polio Sequelae. This work was done for the medical community and, more importantly, for polio survivors. Most of the medical journal articles, chapters and monographs have been uploaded into the Post-Polio Library on the International Centre for Polio Education website at www.postpolioinfo.com
More than 500 commentaries (often answers to questions from our Post-Polio Coffee House members on Facebook) have been expanded, edited and uploaded to the PA Polio Survivor’s Network “Bruno Bytes” page by their volunteer team. But about one-third of my additional articles (many of which are research articles), with important information for polio survivors and their families, have been sitting on my computer, just gathering electrons. That ends here.

The International Centre for Polio Education and PA Polio Survivor’s Network have partnered to update, edit, then index and upload for easy retrieval and reading, everything I've written on polio and PPS to this new Internet based ENCYCLOPEDIA of POLIO and POST-POLIO SEQUELAE
This Encyclopedia will be updated with new articles and commentaries on a regular basis to make sure that the post-polio community has the latest information about the cause and treatment of PPS.
I can never adequately thank Carol Ferguson and the PA Polio Survivor’s Network for taking the lead in providing information for the world’s polio survivors, for tirelessly editing and indexing my writings and providing a home for the ENCYCLOPEDIA.
So, to the world's estimated 15 million-plus polio survivors: Read on!
