Abstract
In light of current research the classic theory on the vicious circle of Bell's palsy has to be reconsidered. New findings through electron microscopy and biochemistry concerning the structure and metabolism of cells have presented aspects which have consequences for treatment of the disease. These aspects deal mainly with the pathomechanisms of cell metabolism whose interactions also cause a vicious circle, leading to a breakdown of microcirculation and ultimately to the death of the cells due to hypoxia and acidosis. It is therefore suggested that the aim of an effective therapy must be the early normalization of cell metabolism by improving microcirculation. A fitting treatment protocol is presented and the extraordinarily good results are discussed.
