Would Oil Pulling Help Bells Palsy?

Posted by Microcarlaj (Oregon) on 08/21/2016

I have had recurrent episodes of bilateral Bell's palsy for the past 8 years. It started, initially, on the right side of my face with the first episode lasting 3 months. Since then, I can expect a "flare" every 1-2 months on either side. Dr's have tested for MS, Lyme disease, Melkersson-Rosenthal, acoustic neuroma, epilepsy.... you name it. Results have always returned to very rare, atypical Bell's palsy.

I recently found a post regarding pulling coconut oil to detox the body and was wondering if this would be of benefit to BP? My thought being that BP is considered to be triggered by a latent herpes virus and OP is thought to detox the body. Has anyone tried this with success or even unsuccessful results?
