For the Deaf and people who can’t speak.
You can use a Computer or Cell Phone to communicate to the world.
Biography Linda E. Meckler
Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to not be able to communicate with anyone? Not your family or friends or necessary business calls, let alone an emergency. This book is for people who can’t use the phone and can’t communicate with the outside world.
Not being able to communicate with a person next to you, or on the phone is frustrating and extremely exhausting.
I was the care taker of my best friend. She had numerous medical problems. In the midst of her problems she developed a cold which settled in her throat. She thought she had laryngitis and whispered when she talked. This caused her vocal cords to become red and swollen and she lost her voice. She could not utter a sound.
What happened is she damaged her vocal cords. She did not know this until about six weeks had passed and she could not speak. After seeing several doctors she finally went to an Ears, Nose and Throat Specialist. This doctor immediately did a scope of her throat. The diagnosis was, damaged vocal cords.
The next step was visiting a Speech Therapist twice a week for several months.
The result of her not being able to speak is when I started doing the research on what is available for her. She always communicated both in her personal and business life. She has tried all the products that I have listed in this book and used them.
The person you are trying to communicate with has the same feelings of hopelessness. This book was written explicitly for the people who can’t communicate.
This book will explain to you easily and in words you can understand what is available for a person who would like to communicate with the world.
COMMUNICATION
My friend used the finger alphabet (there is a finger alphabet page in this book) with close family members. She does not know sign language. She also had seen an acupuncturist three times a week. The acupuncturist had done miracles in decreasing the redness and swelling in her throat and loosening up her neck/throat muscles. Her vocal cords healed up and within six months she was speaking again. We call it a miracle.
