RE: CSBells Palsy
I hope that your information can help this gentleman and his Bells Palsy. And I hope he fairs better than me. At this point of the disease, it is unlikely that there is hope for me, but I always hope for the future.

As I previously stated acupuncture can be curative for Bells Palsy. In addition, depending on the cause of the condition, CS and a CS/DMSO mixture appled topically can also do the trick. If a virus or bacteria is the cause then killing it will cure it. Herbs such as sanguinaria root (blood root), garlic (allicin), chapparral and others may also be of benefit. Steroids only reduce inflammation but do nothing to get rid of the cause. Acupuncture will also reduce inflammation and relieve pain while stimulating the immune system to attack the microbe. Bells Palsy can also be caused by trauma, stroke, or other disease conditions affecting the facial branch of the trigeminal nerve. Bob
RE: CSBells Palsy
Thanks Dave, I was never afforded the steroid treatment. By the time it was discovered that steroids would help it was too late. You only have 72 hours to initiate that treatment. My father, who was a Physician and Surgeon, just looked at me and said..Well hon.if it hasn't gone away after three months...you will have it for life. The Military docs told me the same thing. I don't give up, but I do accept the reality.

I can imaging this is a big strain on life, but don't give up hope..I, personally, would never take the steroids. If they suppress your immune system, this is possibly why you are not getting better?? Have you tried vitamin B12 shots in your arm? The GP can give you these if you ask. If you have had this for 18 years isn't it worth a shot? (pun intended). B12 should improve your immune system and hopefully repair any nerve damage. You will probably need to have them at least once a month for 3-4 months. Before you ask - 'yes' I have had this treatment and it made an enormous difference. The GP also tested me for B12 deficiency and the levels were OK. Above all - remember never to give up hope. Take care, D.

RE: CSBells Palsy
I have bell's palsey and have had it 18 years. Do yourself a favor...take the steroids. So far it's the only thing that helps. There is no surgery, no exercises and no other medication that I know of that will take care of it. Sincerely, Kris [Original Message] From: David davidgrave...@sbcglobal.net To: silver-list@eskimo.com Date: 10/17/2004 7:36:14 PM Subject: CSBells Palsy I had scary thing happen to me today... the left side of my face stopped working... I can't blink my eye, the left side of my mouth kind of droops, and if I drink something I better keep it on the right side of my mouth or it is dribbled down my shirt. Anyway I thought I was having a stroke so I went to the emergency room and they did a cat scan and all the other things I have never had before and they tell me I have bells palsy. The good news is it that for most people it goes away within a couple months or so. They don't really know what causes it but some papers they gave me says that they think it might be caused by a virus. Has anyone in this group experienced Bells Palsy or know the best way to treat it in a holistic manner? They gave me steroids and and some other poison I really don't want to take. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! David -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
