If you want to reduce inflamation, taking bromelain (a digestive enzyme extracted from the pineapple plant) when taken with water on an empty stomach is very effective. Easiest to take perhaps 500 gdu first thing in the morning and last thing at night, possibly once in the day also.
I wouldn't keep up this dose for more than a week though... Dan CS>Bells Palsy From: bbanever (view other messages by this author) Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 22:59:28 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.
