DB here! I just received an email from someone who had a friend with Bells Palsy. This can be quite a scary condition; you basically wake up one morning with your face literally hanging. Paralyzed! If you do research on it you will get a lot of unknowns. I can tell you from my experience and with the knowledge of this person’s background that stress plays a significant role in the cause. I have found that stress uses up minerals. The one mineral I see more than any other includes calcium. I know during the winter time, there appears more calcium deficiencies, with resulting less calcium in tissues, because in the North the lack of sun. OK, here can be another challenge for some, and you will want to keep an eye on this, vitamin D usage can pull calcium from the intestines, and into the blood leaving little for the tissue. Make sure if you are taking vitamin D, you are also taking some calcium. A common body signal for a calcium deficiency would be itching skin. Going back to the Bells Palsy I would suggest as prevention would be to make sure you always have enough minerals, so use Celtic Sea Salt. In my practice we use the following Standard Process products for Bells Palsy: Calaplex E, Cataplex B, Calcium Lactate and Thymex. The stress that is occurring right now can be a challenge. DB
PS: I would suggest you may want to watch the videos I have on calcium. Do you have leg cramps at night? Get Poison Ivy? or Cold Sores? — If yes, get over there right now. Go to drugless media in the blue box on the home page, go to educational videos.
