In Reply to: Botox/ has anyone heard of it? posted by Barbara D. on February 01, 1999 at 19:47:52:
Botox is made from the toxin that causes the food poisoning Botulism! I saw a short piece on the NBC nightly news about using it on migraine sufferers.
They showed a man getting injections directly into his face! The report said that the treatment can cost $400 and is supposed to be effective in preventing migraines for 3 or 4 months. They never mentioned clusters in this report...
I know the desperation we feel but botulism??? What is next? (Botulism is a deadly food poisoning that grows in a vacuum such as canned foods. It is the reason canned foods are processed at certain heats for certain lenghths of time)
