Has anyone had Bell's palsy.........
FYI-Bell's palsy is a paralysis of the facial nerve resulting in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side.
I had a case of it about 10 years ago. It's about 95% normal but it still affects my ability to smile. Does anyone have any experience with BP and how did you "recover" back to normal?

I have known several people that had bells but none that recovered 100% normal....most 75% to 80% guess that you are lucky being 95%...

It's supposed to help Bells. Depending on the kind of calcium they were taking at the time,some cheaper types of calcium don't do much at all. Plus there are catalysts as well as depleters of calcium as well.
(Btw I like your title,reminds me of the one I had. I should go back to it.)

OsCal is made by GlaxoSmithKline,a pharmaceutical company that also manufactures drugs so right there may be an indication that they may not be using the best form of calcium.
Second,the kind of calcium that it is,oyster shell has been found to have no real advantages and may even contain lead.
There are superior forms of calcium,which are up for debate.
Personally I currently recommend and use either coral calcium or even better colloidal calcium,which is plant derived and even better absorbed.
As for your title,not your name,going south sounds like a good plan

Well those things were not on the market 28 yrs ago... & I know that the 1st few yrs my mom had to get a Rx for hers.... Also Calcium is linked to kidney failure so any one taking it needs to have their kidneys checked.
Oh that title.....well I live in WV & I am planning to move to Flordia...if not a straight shot in leaps & bounds...hehehe Does it make sence now?
