This is Your Brain On Botox

A study released today by the Journal of Neuroscience, reports that Botox can indeed travel to the brain from the original injection site.

According to
Christopher von Bartheld, MD, at the University of Nevada School of Medicine "it can have significant and long-lasting effects on neuronal function.”

This explains why everyone in Hollywood is fucking crazy!

Nah, they were all bat shit insane before Botox. I mean, anything with the name Botulinum toxin HAS to be bad.

"It is one of the most poisonous naturally occurring substances in the world, and it is the most toxic protein" -Wikipedia

IT HAS 'TOXIN' IN THE FREAKING NAME. I'm sorry, I don't get offended by much but plastic surgery (unless it's reconstructive surgery and needed) makes me sick to my stomach.

It's sad that women feel so bad about themselves that they are willing to risk their own health for a temporary impedance on getting older. It's twisted.

but does it make your brain look younger?

KatAttack said...

yeah, and as an added bonus it paralyzes the parts that make you think.

funny!! Botox is also used in medicine for other reasons than cosmetics. It's used to help people with certain types of movement disorders and also to repair anal fissures.

maybe that's why belladonna's anus looks you young and supple!

Well even those with medical problems are still susceptible to the side effects described in the study. Personally, I dont want anything from my ass traveling up to my brain. Or my nervous system. Im nervous enough without bum stuff in my veins.
