Gary,

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the past feedback. I was kind of incredulous when the person at our head and neck cancer support group shared their experience with swallowing and acupuncture. Perhaps this indeed is a placebo effect.

We saw our dentist yesterday and he was not keen on acupuncture either.

Again, thank you.
