Discover the captivating memoir, Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung. Order now from Ubuy Seychelles and delve into this inspiring story of strength and resilience.
  • Contrary to popular belief Polio is not extinct. This is the true story of an indomitable spirit afflicted with unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Paul Alexander's life is a saga that started in 1946 and has been profoundly shaped by the Polio epidemic of the early 1950's. Survivors of the 1950's Polio Epidemic in America are rare. Polio victims, like Paul Alexander, who require the assistance of an Iron Lung respirator for their life's breath are even rarer. Paul Alexander has crafted his life against all odds and has a courageous and compelling story to share with us all. Victims of Polio, their families, friends and communities are struggling to cope with this obscure but still dangerous infectious disease. This book is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and an affirmation of the need to continue efforts to eradicate the pestilence of Polio from the planet.

Disability Editorial Review

  • ubuy Seychelles
  • ubuy Seychelles

"Paul Alexander's autobiography, "I Can Write with My Mouth," is an inspiring read for anyone looking for motivation and determination in the face of adversity. The book tells the life story of a man with Polio who can only survive in an iron lung but goes on to graduate high school, law school and become an attorney, all while inspiring and motivating millions. Alexander's writing style brings readers right into the center of his emotions, as he describes his journey with sadness, fear, hope, love, and determination. Although there are some spelling and grammar mistakes that may be attributed to the use of a stick in Alexander's mouth to write, the unedited manuscript adds more authenticity to the story. Overall, 'I Can Write with My Mouth' is a must-read for anyone who has experienced challenges in life or is looking for inspiration to chase their dreams."
