Believe it or not: a medically necessary piercing to volitionally open a sphincter! What sphincter? The upper esophageal sphincter-at the top of the esophagus. ...Crucial right now as you eat your breakfast! Dysphagia (difficultly swallowing) is so complex that the timing, strength, coordination and pliability of that sphincter can be so impaired that it does not relax, open and distend around the ball of food or liquid. Imagine yanking it open instead with your piercing. Thanks to Dr Peter Belafsky, Otolaryngologist and inventor, this is possible!
