    Default Interesting Treatment-Laryngospasm

    My father-in-law recently went through 2 surgeries and since that time has been having episodes of laryngospasm. His airway constricts and he cannot breathe....lasts for about 10-15 seconds and it scares the crap out of him. I thought the episodes had ended but yesterday he had one while I was with him (he is currently in a rehab facility).

    Last night I did some online research looking for some kind of treatment since the only ones concerned were me and him. I came across an article from 1998 published in Anesthesiology by Philip Larson, MD. For anyone interested, I am posting the link below.

    Anyway, this morning I walked into his room and a laryngospasm started. I immediately tried the procedure and to my amazement, it stopped it immediately! I had never heard of this and was incredulous that it truly worked.....and it is something that my FIL can do on himself when an episode starts.

    NATURAL TREATMENT

    Fruit is one of the best acne treatments. Choose mango, pawpaw, grapefruit or a fruit that has lots of acid. You can apply the fruit directly to your skin or you can use it to make a mask by mashing it into a pulp. You can add oatmeal or egg yolk if you want. Apply it to the skin as a mask and leave for fifteen minutes.
