In the chaos of that night, I did everything I had ever learned.
I shouted his name. I tried the Heimlich. I hit his back, again and again.
Nothing was working. And time was running out.
We’re taught that in an emergency, we should use back blows, abdominal thrusts, CPR.
But the truth is:
These methods don’t always work—especially on adults.
Daniel was gasping. He stood up, staggered—eyes wide, hands at his throat.
Even though I had watched tutorials, I wasn’t trained. My hands were shaking.
And even when done “right,” these techniques can:
- Break ribs
- Push food deeper down
- Or fail to clear the airway completely
That’s why emergency professionals are urging families to have a backup.
""LifeRelief Anti-Choking Device uses a simple but powerful suction method to clear the airway.
It doesn’t require strength. It doesn’t demand medical training.
Just place, press, and pull. Anyone can do it—in seconds.
Even me.
If I had known.
If I had just had it in the drawer that night...
Maybe he’d still be here.https://theliferelief.com/products/liferelief%E2%84%A2-anti-choking-device
