hey i just read your page and i have been doing the botox injections for many years and i didnt know about this, many of my friends do it and never had a problem. I am using the Botulinum Toxin Type A ive never tried type B but i assume that they are very similar.

I am going to keep doing some research on this and may stop because ive wasted so much money on it...

That's a great article. Though I did note that the quote stated that Botox has been used for over 25 years with few complications.

As with any medical related product involving injections and doses, it's all on the doctor doing performing the procedure.

Default Botox May Cause Cause Brain Damage

Three days after the injection was administered, the researchers found remnants in an area in the brainstem1. The dilute amount of the toxin that reached these cells meant that there were no obvious effects on the animals. The toxin gets inside nerves access to the brain, which blood-borne drugs often have trouble reaching, reports Nature. The researchers note that it also moved to a part of the brain that controls long-term memory, spatial navigation and eye-head coordination.
