I just spoke to Nicole Johnson regarding the swallowing study. This is something that could greatly benefit anyone who suffers from difficulties in swallowing. There are several locations so its fairly easy to get to one of their places in the Northeast US. You do not need to go anywhere daily or even weekly. It can only help you, no drawbacks to this. The worst outcome would be if your swallowing remained the same.

I was disappointed to hear that I was the first person she had spoke to who was referred by OCF. I cant wait to see an improvement in my swallowing capabilities. So anybody who is in the northeast and complains about problems swallowing, give this a try, it sure cant hurt! Here is the link to their website.
