Late last year, I suffered something called Bells Palsy. For those who don't know what that is, it's BASICALLY the 7th cranial nerve going bonkers. It swells up and pinches. The 7th Cranial nerve starts from the back of your head and wraps around to the front of your face one on each side.
Those nerves control the muscles that control your smile, blinking of your eyes, lifting or lowering your eyebrows, opening or closing your lips . . . as you can tell, when it's on the fritz, so is everything you take for granted like eating, keeping your eyes moist with blinking, flaring of your nostrils, smiling and even talking properly . . . well you get what I mean, don't you?
So Bells Palsy causes a side of your face, usually the left side and don't ask me why, to become paralyzed. So on one side you're smiling and the other side looks eerily dead.
I was shocked and worried because for about four days I thought I had suffered a stroke. I mean, what did I know about bells palsy? And here I was in Austin Texas 2000 miles from home, away from my home and familiars travelling and I knew I wouldn't be able to see my doctor until I returned home 4 days later.
Then to top it off, I was stuck at the airport for 12 more hours because of a flight changes so my mind really tripped.
So I get back home late and I had to wait one more day before I could get in to see the doctor. After finally getting in and waiting for what seemed like forever, he walks into the examination room, takes one look at me and says, "you have bells palsy".
I'm thinking, "what the heck is bells palsy?" and he proceeds to explain. After explaining he prescribes prednisone which is considered a pretty dangerous steroid; at least that's how I see it.
Again, I'll go into more details in my report but I decided right there and then I wasn't going to take it. Normally for bells palsy it takes at least three months to cure or for it to go away but I told myself that I would do it in two weeks using various techniques. I figure I'm a healer and have healed many, then why not myself, right?
So I rested, drank around 4 ounces a day of a secret juice with potent herbs and within two weeks I noticed that my face was almost 95% back to normal and this juice had a big part of that fast recovery. Of course I received lots of positive thoughts and prayers which really help my fast recovery.
But it was something else too and if you're interested in finding out more please leave a comment here. Get back to me with an email stating your interest and make sure you visit here often and I'll also post other resources for your research and knowledge.
In my next post I will write more information about Bells Palsy, it's symptoms, cures and the lasting effect that it leaves in the person. The effects are longer lasting than what has been researched. Stay tuned.
