I was visiting your home page and found this address to find out if you have any information to increase circulation to the facial nerves and muscle. I have Bells Palsey, occurred 3 years ago, partial paralysis to left side of face... particularyly the mouth.

In the beginning of the Bells Palsey, I was put on a steroid pak and repeated x3 over the next year which brought back approx. 85% of facial movement. I am not taking any medications for B.P. now. I did do the chinese acupuncture which seemed to be making some changes until I was in a auto accident and broke my left shoulder and I never had any more changes. The doctor said there was a "line" broke and he did not think he could do much more. I do facial exercises, like making faces at myself in a mirror but I seem to get cramps or spasms which hurt so I don't do the exercises much.

Cancer research is far more important than B.P. but any help or ideas would be great. There are a lot of people out there with disfigured faces that might also benefit.

We have never heard of Bells Palsey but when we asked "our friends" if we could help... the answer was, "yes". We did wonder if some sort of scheduled facial massage (with heat) stimulate some of the muscles. We didn't know if it was isolated to just the facial area.

We are experimenting with natural herbs... for cancer and on down, maybe one of these may take care of your problem. The hardest part is finding the right combination for a particular ailment/disease. Finding someone to take part is where the dilemma lies... any other complications, side effects, permanent physical damage or even possible death occurring.
