Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Dear Jeff: Bell's Palsy responds well to chiropractic adjustment augmented by microcurrent or interferential stim of the facial nerves and affected muscles. Patient must perform facial exercises that use lips and face, e.g. sat who, what , where in mirror, smile in mirror. They must have a mirror or else they will not recognize insufficient effort. Progress is improved with EMG biofeedback of facial musculature. This help the patient to " dial in " on affected areas and also quantifies progress. Nutrition is important, B12 sublingual 3 mg / day; B100 4 /day etc. as indicated by patient's needs. Expect 6 to 12 weeks for good recovery. Expect longer recoveries for diabetics, insulin resistant folks, neural diseases, sympathetic overload, exhaustion, chronic pain, etc. Remember to correct all causes for subluxations, not just use a cookbook approach. Willard Bells Palsy Does anyone have any suggestions treating Bells Palsy? I have a 30 year old male that had neck pain last monday. When he came in I asked if he noticed that the left side of his face was not working? (left eye wouldn't close and watering, left side of his mouth drooping) " Not really " , he said but felt something was wrong. After examining him, I adjusted the left occiput and other cervical restrictions and micro current along the trigeminal lines. All cranial nerves were normal. No prior episodes. I recommended he wear a patch and use eye drops to protect the eye from drying out. I have treated him 3 times over the last week. His neck is much better but little improvement on the palsy. He is going to have an acupuncture treatment this week Any ideas out there?? Thanx Jeff , DC _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Jeff, There have been a couple of cases over the years that I have treated. The last responded so fast it startled me. I don't know if it was the treatment I gave or just a unusually rapid recovery. A clinical trial with a group of these cases would be interesting. My treatment was high doses of B12/folacin(resin bound-Key Company) 2 tablets sublingual three times daily; B-Complex(50 mg each factor) one twice daily; and a couple of grams of C. Then I adjusted the neck freqently over a two week period. I also used some stim current to tolerance. Steve Bells Palsy > Does anyone have any suggestions treating Bells Palsy?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 > Just got an urgent message from a dear friend of mine in Canada whose father > just had a brain tumor removed and is now stricken with Bells Palsy..BP is > mercury induced, isnt it? But I do not see mention of it in your book.... it can be caused by anything that causes damage to the relevant cranial nerve. In this case the surgery is a lot more likely candidate. > > She says the medics dont know what to do with him anymore..

I can suggest lots of stuff that might actually work but the MD's will probably go insane since it is real, not dogmatic. A lot of it is supported by the kind of peer reviewed journal papers they like to blather about in cases where those support their dogmatic beliefs - e. g. supraphysiological doses of testosterone are very effective in accellerating and improving healing of facial/cranial nerves in critters. Giving him 3 ml of 200 mg/ml testosterone cypionate intramuscularly every 4 days for 2-3 weeks might make a world of difference. . .. . . . . . . . .. . > > I just need to know whether BP shares the mercury profile and then I know > where to go from there... > > Best regards, > > Jul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Great ideas, but something to add...do not forget that Bells palsey is triggered by a virus. Type in "pals" in the search to help with therapies, but it seems to also link with herpes (again). Do the herpes zap. I've worked on this and once the illness is gone, there has been no side effect. Yours in Health, Kathy Bells Palsy I'm responding to your QXCI english group inquiry, 1. Organic Therapeutic Grade Peppermint oil on the face- diluted test an area of the skin first. I use it neat when I have headaches from detoxing. 2. Go to Spinal/ NLP relaxation then brain scan and keep clicking on the different sections of the brain unti TEMPORAILY RECIFIED on all areas. Start with Reticular Formation;cignate gyrus; corpus collasm; then in a clock wisse circle double clicking on each area. 3. Go to Spinal/Nerves and work on cranial nerves. OR 4. Work on Brain Waves in EEG ECG section under programs on test page. 5. After brain brain waves clear the submorphic field. Hope this helps Marilee A.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 , The paralysis is caused by an unknown mechanism which affects the nerves of the face. It is thought that a virus or immune system problem results in nerve swelling which produces the paralysis. Other causes of facial nerve paralysis are injury, tumors and ear infections. Leafy green vegetables are rich in the B vitamins, especially vitamin B12 and vitamin B3 (niacin), which are needed for a healthy nervous system. Nutritional yeast, used daily as a bread spread, added to soups and sauces or sprinkled on salads is another good food source of B vitamins. Ensure that the essential fatty acids, required for the proper functioning of the nervous system, are included in your daily diet in the form of unrefined, cold-pressed flax seed oil, walnut oil or pumpkin seed oil. The essential fatty acids contained in these oils are converted in the body to prostaglandins which reduce inflammation. To keep swelling and pain to a minimum, avoid table salt, which causes water retention. Avoid red meats, as these are high in salt and promote inflammation. Most vegetables, especially broccoli, zucchini and carrots, are high in potassium and low in sodium and therefore help the body eliminate excess fluid and reduce swelling. Chili peppers contain an anti-inflammatory substance which reduces the sensitivity of nerve endings to pain. The B vitamins are essential for the nerves and an important supplement in times of physical or emotional stress. Vitamin B1 will provide additional nerve support. B12 is essential. It is involved in many biochemical nerve processes. Supplementation has offered relief within a couple of weeks in many instances and has even spurred recovery in persistent, chronic cases. B 12 injections were the most effective, as they treat the source of the problem specifically. The next best form of B12 is a sublingual tablet, dissolved under the tongue. Vitamin B12 absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth directly into the bloodstream. Evening primrose oil is rich in the essential fatty acid gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA), which provides the body with nutrients needed to combat inflammation and to support healthy nerve function. Vitamin C is always helpful against inflammation and should be taken regularly. The minerals magnesium and calcium are also recommended as they are essential for the nerves and to relieve spasms and cramps causing the problem. Nutritional bluegreen algae is RICH in the necessary B vitamins: Thiamine (vitamin B1) is the nerve and energy B vitamin molecule that is involved in numerous nerve, heart, and muscle tissue reactions. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) - the Enzyme Animator... Pyridoxal (vitamin B6) - Immune System Booster... Niacin (vitamin B3) - Vanquisher of Tension... Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5) - Fatigue Fighter... Folic Acid - Nutrient for the Intestines... Vitamin B12 - Energy Provider on the Cellular Assembly Line References: *Algae to the Rescue! by Karl J.
