Gerzon’s Natural Hiccup Cure

In the vast scope of human suffering, a case of hiccups isn’t a big deal. Like the common cold, hiccups are annoying, but not life-threatening. They usually go away by themselves after a while.

But when you have an attack of hiccups, you want hiccup relief and you want it fast. Occasionally hiccups can be quite intense and persistent. Intense hiccups feel like bodily earthquakes. Persistent hiccups seem to go on forever. A strong hiccup attack can disrupt an individual's normal breathing, eating and sleeping habits and cause irritability, anxiety and other mood changes.

I'm Robert Gerzon, a holistic therapist and pioneer in mindbody approaches to healing. I had tried just about every hiccup cure and none seemed to work consistently and the instructions were often bizarre, uncomfortable and hard to accomplish — like holding your breath while someone tickles you, or drinking from the far side of the cup with your nostrils pinched shut!

I researched the science of hiccups and found that hiccups are caused by an upward spasm of the diaphragm. So the key to curing hiccups is to calm the spasms of the diaphragm. The breakthrough came during an especially ferocious bout of hiccups, when I devised the following method.

It was easy to do. It worked every time. Hiccups relieved in 60 seconds! Since then my family, friends, clients and website visitors have tried it. It’s worked for them and it can work for you. Try it!

Instructions for Gerzon’s Natural Hiccup Cure

Step 1. Fill a glass with water.

Step 2. Take small sips, one right after the other, for 60 seconds.

Step 3. There is no Step 3.

That’s all there is to it! Simple isn’t it?

A mild case of hiccups will be relieved in under 60 seconds. If your hiccups persist, keep taking small sips until they are relieved. Even a severe case of hiccups should be cured after just a few minutes.

If you're ever in a situation where you can't find anything to drink, just swallow repeatedly without the water.

Why the Gerzon Natural Hiccup Cure works

The esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth and stomach) passes directly through the diaphragm. The act of rapid, repeated swallowing overwhelms and disables the diaphragm's spasm reflex. No spasm, no hiccups.

Adding the Mindbody Dimension

It’s not necessary, but you might enjoy adding this holistic "extra dimension" to the basic hiccup cure:

Before sipping, take a deep breath. Breathe out any tension you may be feeling on a long slow exhales. Repeat 3 times.
As you sip, visualize and feel the water flowing downward, calming, quieting and relaxing your diaphragm.

Fascinating Hiccup Facts

Doctors still don’t know for sure what causes the diaphragm to go into spasm. Some experts theorize it’s from eating too fast, gulping air, emotional tension, or poor breathing habits.

Think you’ve had a bad case of hiccups? Charles Osborne of Anthon, Iowa, started hiccupping in 1922 and hiccupped for the next 65 years. That’s approximately 430 million hiccups! Too bad the Internet wasn’t around for Mr. Osborne.
