Well, my smile is nearly back to normal. My right cheek muscle is not working as well as my left and I don't have the crease from my nose to my mouth like I have on the left side but I am sure it will be back to normal very soon. And frankly, I don't even notice unless I look at myself. My brother's girlfriend saw me the other day and said 'people pay a lot of money for that!'. LOL, it's like I've had botox on half my face.
I would encourage anyone with Bell's palsy to get the standard prescriptions but also focus on great nutrition. I believe the supplements I am taking to boost nerve regeneration, reduce inflamation, etc. (you can see the list in my earlier posts) and the plant based raw vegan diet I have been eating is responsible for the amazing speed of my recovery. I am also working with a fantastic holistic nutritionist, Emily Hubbell, to get my body and mind into the healthiest state possible. She is wonderful! She respects my wishes to maintain a raw diet but has also showed me how to improve it. I'm going to be the healthiest raw foodist out there, no kidding!
I watched and interesting documentary the other day called Food Matters that talked about how doctors are not well trained in nutrition therapy. I highly recommend the film. I also watched Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. I don't have diabetes but the film was still interesting. Could have been done better but still worth watching. I hope a lot of people get the chance to see this film because it really shows the power of raw food.
