National Foundation of Swallowing Disorders (NFOSD)

I've been following the work on and off of a physician and PhD researcher, Peter Belafsky at the University of California Davis campus, for over a year and wrote about his work in a blog post in December 2010 (http://hncancer.blogspot.com/2010/12/swallowing-difficulties.html). I asked my surgeon about him last week. Although he didn't know him personally, he was familiar with his work as a physician surgeon who has focused on swallowing disorders. He is a medical advisor to the NFOSD organization. This organization (http://swallowingdisorderfoundation.com/) developed a documentary on swallowing disorders. Here's a link to that documentary.

The part of the documentary that resonated with me was by Sonia in a clip that began at the 30 second mark and ends two minutes later. For those of you who wonder what it's like to have swallowing difficulties, she hit the mark for me.
