I am very sorry to hear your brother is so ill. Medical personnel are under increased scrutiny for the treatments and services they provide and recommend. An intervention such as the Frazier Water Protocol is still not practiced widely so there are currently not many studies that show the efficacy of using it. When clinicians recommend such a specific interventions, it is helpful for it to be clinically recognized in national practice guidelines and be an accepted treatment standard. In addition, when using the Frazier Water Protocol, there is an expectation that there be excellent oral care form caregivers to prevent bacteria from moving past the oral cavity and into the body. Continue to be a good advocate for your brother. All my best to you and your family.

Cherie

It is now August. The speech pathologist would not even consider the Frazier Water Protocol. My brother BEGGED for a drink of water, wept for one. The speech therapist had us scared to death to give him any. However, he has now been drinking water for weeks with no ill effect. And he’s so grateful for it. It’s being done in secret. We hope have another swallow study scheduled this week and are praying he passes so he can start eating again. He’s over 6 feet tall but down to 106 pounds and has continuous problems with his feeding tube. Why don’t more medical professionals know about this water protocol? If they do know about it, why are they unwilling to try it? Depriving patients of water is cruel.
