Justin Bieber Sympathetic And 'considerate' Towards Fellow Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Sufferer

  • 07 October 2024

Justin Bieber was sympathetic and "considerate" when he met a fellow musician with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

The 'Believe' hitmaker revealed in June 2022 he had been stricken with facial paralysis as a result of the rare neurological condition and he was shocked when Eddie Witz revealed he had been battling the same health issue for almost three years.

He told BANG Showbiz: "We spoke for 10-20 minutes backstage after Jaden Smith's performance, where I met his father Will Smith backstage as well, and as I was walking out my songwriting/producing partner Native Wayne Jobson pointed to Justin sitting in a golf cart, so I went up to him and introduced myself and told him that I've also been suffering from the same facial paralysis condition, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

"Justin was considerate and felt bad for me because he was shocked that I had been suffering at that point for almost three years and still had experienced a range of motion restrictions."

The Eddie Witz and the Most High star suggested a string of treatments to Justin which he had tried himself.

He added: "I told him about all the various holistic modalities I had been experimenting with like procaine and ozone

injections with my Endodontist, acupuncture of the head, face and neck, and back, hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments, sacred cranial sessions, fasting, inner mouth massages and stretching, bodywork massage, Botox, IV injections, and he was really surprised I was trying so many different things to try and heal myself.

"I also recommended he speak to my facial PT therapist, Jodi Maron from the Institute for Facial Recovery."

Eddie Witz and the Most High's album, 'I Am What I Am', is out now.
