Helen and Sandra, THANKS!! I shall try some tape tonight and see how things go. I have had a dry throat and mouth throughout the night, recently. All of this also came on about the time I had strep thoat and had to take antibiiotics. Don't know if it's all related, but it helps to be aware. I have been concentrating on breathing through my nose, when awake, and also not so deeply. I have a pulse oximeter, so can easily make sure my O2 sat levels are okay.

I couldn't find any practitioners in the US, according to one or two websites I glanced over last night. The DVD was rather expensive on one site, but will look for it elsewhere. Looks as though, once again, the UK and Australia are way ahead of the US in alternative medicine.

Thank you, both, very much.
