It was difficult to even look at myself in the mirror

Dear Doctor Barton,                                                                        September 2000

In April of this year, I was stuck with Bell’s palsy. Being that I didn’t know of anyone having had it, I was terrified and anxious to find out what it was all about.

Bell’s palsy is a form of facial paralysis resulting from damage and inflammation of the 7^th cranial nerve. This disorder affects 40,000 people a year. It mainly attacks people who have diabetes, influenza, or a cold. Besides one-sided facial paralysis and inability to close one eye, symptoms may include; tearing, drooling, and impairment of taste. The more common cause is the common cold virus, herpes simplex.

It was difficult to even look at myself in the mirror. Even knowing that it is a temporary thing, but there is a chance it may never go away. The day after I came down with this, my father, (a very dedicated patient of yours), called me and told me that he had talked with you, and you told him to have me come in.

I came in that day to see you. I felt very embarrassed about my looks, but you were there being honest and lively as ever. You encouraged me not to worry and to laugh as much as possible. That same day after I got adjusted and walked out of your office I knew that this was going to work. If it works for all the people that come to see you with back and neck pain, asthma, cramps, sciatica problems, etc. I knew it would work. I trusted in you and in the end thanks to all your efforts and triumphs I feel brand new and look about 100% better.

Each time I came in to see you, we both noticed improvements, IF it wasn’t my eyebrows that moved, then it was a straighter smile. If it wasn’t a straighter smile, then my eye was closing more and more.

I appreciate all you and your staff has done for me to make me feel welcomed in your office and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel brand new.

  To all you who are reading this, I hope that you thank God every day for He gives us a wonderful, caring, energetic, Doctor like Dr. Barton, to take care of us.
