Botulinum toxin is not just another toxin, it is THE most poisonous substance known to humanity! Or at least the most deadly natural substance, Plutonium might be more poisonous. 1 Gram of Botulinum properly dispersed could kill 1 Million people! Its apparently been a long studied biological weapon, but because of delivery issues not one really used by any countries as far as we know.

Freaky! And I had the stuff injected into my body on Friday! But, it seems to be working, so in a few months I imagine I'll be having it again.

I'm one of those who is very troubled by the craze for Botox use as vanity treatment -- as if aging were a disease condition, and wrinkles something to avoid at all costs. This stuff is too serious to mess with for anything that isn't really vital. My humble, non-medical opinion.

Take care -- we all need to keep learning. There is still so much not well understood about our condition and its treatment, but I do feel optimistic that I will live to see a real cure.

I have medication induced tardive dystonia, including blepharospasm, so you can imagine how dead set against putting another toxin like botox into my system. I fought it for three years, and then I decided to try it because I was tired of not being able to keep my eyes open. Besides, I wore away my one eyebrow from holding my eyelid open! So now I get Botox injections every three months and I can drive again!! I still shudder at the thought of putting that toxin into my body, and I am invetsigating other options like acupuncture and hypnosis. I, too, believe we will live to see a cure for this dreadful dis-order.

Here's some more trivia. Botulinum Toxin is 6 million times more toxic than snake venom! But here's proof that something good can come from something bad! Hisssssssssss!
