Paralysis

🌿 Overview

Paralysis is the loss of muscle function, sensation, or both, due to damage or destruction of nerve tissue. A slight loss of function is called palsy. While paralysis is generally classified as incurable by conventional medicine, natural medicine views it as resulting from toxic waste buildup in the body. Cleansing the body and providing nutritional regeneration can bring improvement in many cases.

Common signs

• Rapid or partial loss of muscle function; loss of sensation in affected areas.
• Depending on cause: full or partial loss of movement in one or more limbs, face, or other areas.

🔎 Why it happens

Common causes and triggers — spotting yours is often the first step to relief.

• Most cases of paralysis are caused by calcium deficiency (affecting nerve conduction), toxic waste accumulation in the body, nerve injury, stroke, or spinal injury.
• Nerve damage from infection, nutritional deficiency, or toxicity may also be causative.
