Since the medical establishment is convinced that aerophagia is simply people repetitively swallowing, I appended the following to the aerophagia definition on Wikipedia:
"Aerophagia can occur without any act of swallowing. A Ukranian study[1] showed that in people with cervical spinal blockages, inhaling also caused air to go down into the esophagus and stomach. The study recommends cervical spine therapy as a method of treatment.
References: Krasiuk MM, Kratinov VP, "The characteristics of aerophagy and its treatment", Lik Sprava. 1993 Jul;(7):114-6."
Hopefully some people may be helped by this information if indeed some people can be helped from chiropractic manipulation.Tuesday, May 02, 2006
From http://www.godandscience.org/humor/jonah.html:
Jonah and the Teacher
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales and how she had heard in Sunday School about how a whale had swallowed Jonah.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl remained steadfast in her position and reiterated that indeed, a whale had swallowed Jonah.
Irritated, the teacher again stated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "I'm not sure how it happened, but when I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."
The teacher replied smugly, "What if Jonah isn't in heaven?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."
