Aside from this somewhat "invasive" approach involving a needle....does
anyone have any other thoughts about the dilemas we are faced with
for those who need thickened liquids becuase they can absolutely not
tolerate thin??? Just looking for other people's thoughts on the subject, not
necessarily looking for a miracle!!!  Thanks!!

  The advantage of hypodermoclysis is precisely that it IS used at home, thereby keeping many people out of NHs.Any person, patient or home caregiver, can use it.Please see:
