TED | Bruce Aylward: How we'll stop polio for/too Good

I am reminded of PPS, Post-Polio Syndrome, and the amazing capabilities of molybdenum to thwart this chronic illness. The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State notes on micro-nutrients states:



"Molybdenum [element 42] is an essential trace element for virtually all life forms. It functions as a cofactor for a number of enzymes that catalyze important chemical transformations in the global carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycles (1). Thus, molybdenum-dependent enzymes are not only required for human health, but also for the health of our ecosystem."

Polio is almost completely eradicated. But as Bruce Aylward says: Almost isn't good enough with a disease this terrifying. Aylward lays out the plan to continue the scientific miracle that ended polio in most of the world -- and to snuff it out everywhere, forever.
