Kris,
This is not true. As I previously stated acupuncture can be curative for
Bells Palsy. In addition, depending on the cause of the condition, CS and a
CS/DMSO mixture appled topically can also do the trick. If a virus or bacteria
is the cause then killing it will cure it. Herbs such as sanguinaria root
(blood root), garlic (allicin), chapparral and others may also be of benefit.
Steroids only reduce inflammation but do nothing to get rid of the cause.
Acupuncture will also reduce inflammation and relieve pain while stimulating
the immune system to attack the microbe. Bells Palsy can also be caused by
trauma, stroke, or other disease conditions affecting the facial branch of the
trigeminal nerve.
