"the ravages of time" please! sounds like someone is in the biz
As far as advertising is concerned, I've worked on (copyedited) promotional materials for Botox for overactive bladder, but they were targeted to doctors, not patients.
How totally ridiculous to shot this crap into your face for vanity sake! YUCK!
I'd like to know about using botox injections for Migraines.Thanks for the info!
I believe your guests indicated that there was no treatment for Botulism. This is not correct. Clostridium botulinum has been classified into several types lettered from A through E. There were as of severeal years ago antitoxin to types A, B and E were available when I first encounteed my first cases when I was a medical student in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) nearly 50 years ago. A family became affected after consuming home-canned string beans. Several members survived. We treated the whole family with antitoxin.
Can Botox injections trigger auto-immune responses?
I have dystonia with many forms-vocal dystonia, writer's cramp, essential tremours. I am presently using artane and clonopin, and botox doesn't work for me.
What else is there available. I'm struggling to live through this.
