    Well...........

    I do know of him, and am a laryngectomee as well. Many really like his book. Just take it with a grain of salt. The picture of the taste buds of the tongue is what we have always been told and shown. However, they now say all taste buds are the same, and you also have taste receptors in the back of your throat.  He has helped many with his book, thank you for sharing.
