Does anyone know of any cures for Bells Palsy??

I guess I'm just reaching now! But it is worth a try! Never give up hope...

time. it's terrible.

Have you tried acupuncture? I've heard of successes with Bell's Palsy using acupuncture. Good Luck.

did you do a google search? My mom had it long time ago, lasted short time maybe month and was gone.

I was just going to say this. Make sure you find a really good acupuncturist, though. One who was traditionally trained, Dr. Of Chinese Medicine would be best.

I agree with this...try acupuncture.

Are you on an anti-seizure medication?

Also, are you on a sedative?

Last of all you should have a doctor you trust and one you can talk to. Follow your doctor's orders, but continue to research on your own. God bless you.

Also, I will do some research too, and come back here to post it.

Find a naturapathic doctor that does live blood cell analysis with a urine and saliva sample too. There are several practitioners that do this type of work in the country. I thinks it's labeled as European Biological Medicine.

Peace to you! My niece has bells palsey as well and my naturopath says you need Aspergillus Niger. www.pleosanum.com

Please do your own research and get tested for I am not a medical doctor:)

God Bless you and I hope you find what you're looking for!

licorice, chinese skullcap, fresh ginger, honey tea 3 times a day

will see improvement in a week

Since bells palsy is most likely caused by the herpes virus, there isnt going to be a cure. But they can suppress the symptoms and control future episodes of it with antiviral drugs and other things.

Dont ask medical advice out here...sheesh. Go to a doctor

Wish you all best luck. I hope you had some rehab when it initially occurred. There must be some support groups that can give you additional resources. So sorry for your experience.

I've heard some moderate success with acupuncture treatments, by a professional, that knows what they are doing. The goal is to stimulate the facial nerves "back to life" so to speak. Also colloidal silver. Please follow the advice of a physician. Research, research...

Good luck OP, I hope you can report back with some findings.

Also try Acupressure. Reflexology on hands and feet. This will open the energy channels and allow a smooth flow. Also try Reiki energy healing. Reiki stopped my RLS after 24 years of agony.

Peace to you

You will find energy medicine works better than a chemical medicine.

Peace to you

alternative remedies:

[link to www.livestrong.com]

flaxseed oil can be substituted for fish oil. you may be able to cure yourself without the expense of doctor visits.

Have they tried steroids and antivirals on you?They need to be given in the early stages of this disease.

There is a drug calley lyrica...it helps to heals nerves...ask your doc about it.

One other thing is a natural supplement called l-lysine...get it.

I had bells palsey and it took a good six weeks to be gone. Right away, I started using a heated massager on my face and neck areas. A friend who had the same thing gave me the tip but not entirely sure if the heated massage helped or it just ran its course.

Good luck!

That's a super long time to have it.

Are you confident of this being the correct diagnosis?

I had it once, I can't believe you didn't get the 7 day prednisone pills. That's what I got for it, was gone in 7 days.

Look Up Bob Beck Magnetic Pulsar

Its AMAZING

Allegedly, the original Paul McCartney had it along with IBS.

His replacement does not.

Bacon. Lots of bacon.

:paulfaul:

Homeopathic causticum.

Do you have a dcotor you trust?

WOW!!! UNREAL--It just happened to me--It is now @3 weeks-started with my left eye weeping and i had terrible pain behind
my ear--Went to sleep and woke up and the left side of my face
was drooping.DOC said It is inflamed 7th cranial nerve-which breaks into 7000 diff nerve fibers.OP-check the link for causes,symptoms home treatment etc


lots of info-""such as""when muscles are completely flaccid, it's probably advisable to limit therapy to moist heat (to ease soreness and reduce swelling), massage (also to ease soreness, plus to provide a degree of motion & stimulation to the muscles and increase circulation) and mental exercises (to retain the "memory" of facial motions).

Facial muscles are not at risk of permanent atrophy for quite a long time. Focus your exercise energy on maintaining the brain-to-nerve-to-muscle connection. This is more important than the physical motions your muscles did before,VERY INORMATIVE SITE -good luck

-mine is early and has not started to heal yet--I like the ginger -tea idea

Word.

Olive Oil and Garlic cloves. That cures every illness according to GLPers

Acupuncture, face massage, lots of sleep, relax, do things YOU like, and Prozac for preventing it from coming back. I got it 2 yrs ago and my eye is still a little droopy, especially when I'm stressed or tired. I still have hope. I think if I learned how to relax more and not stress so much, it would eventually get better. Good luck. You're definitely not alone.

Look up Max Gerson's therapy.

I've been on a modified version for 12 days now and almost all the inflammation in my neck, shoulder and back is gone.

The foods and juices required will relieve inflammation quickly.

From WebMD site:

"In most cases of Bell's palsy, the nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face is damaged by inflammation."

When you say 5 years is that the full condition? Mine mostly cleared up after 6 months but i still have a bit of trouble with my left eye, cant whistle/drink out of bottles and get random painful spasms on the side of my face when i get tired.

As an experiment- and if you want to try natural things try this:

800 mg of magnesium. Try to get the softgel capsules.
250 to 500 mg of flush free Niacin. Much less if you try to take the "flush" kind.

Take these once per day.
