If she was Muslim,
she would've been killed by her brother already.

Just a thought.

***.....During her second Today appearance Monday, Jennifer thanked everyone who suggested remedies, even though none worked.

Doctors in St. Petersburg and New York may have identified a couple of physical causes for the spasms, her mother said. Jennifer recently had strep throat, and an MRI showed a vertebra compression.

For now, the family is considering chiropractic and acupuncture treatments.....***

In my case a shot or two of vinegar always does the trick but I suppose anything with a load of acid would do the trick. My theory has always been that the diaphram is in spasm for some reason and a chemical imbalance is as good as any other theory for someone that doesn't know any better.

Good old white vinegar works best for me. Nasty tasting but it beats a case of the hiccups.
