Take a look at this picture, very carefully:
These are the lungs of a 57 year old Luke.
Cause of death... a peanut.
His two sons decided to frame his lungs (with the peanut), to spread awareness on what happens if you are unprepared in a choking emergency.
Because when a elder who lives alone is choking, dialing 911 is too late.
Luke's story is sad, but here is what Jonathan did to save his own life!
This is Jonathan. He is 71 years old, served in Vietnam and lives alone.
In February 2024, he suddenly started choking on a piece of grape.
He knew that he had to make a split second decision:
- He was alone: There was nobody to help him with the Heimlich Manuever.
- He is a senior: He doesn't have the strength nor time to find a chair and do the Heimlich Manuever by himself.
- No time for 911: With only seconds to spare, dialing 911 isn't an option either and Jonathan knew this.
But Jonathan was prepared.
Jonathan had the "AntiChoke" in his medical cabinate. The AntiChoke is a small portable medical device that can instantly save someone from choking.
He immediately ran to his medical cabinet, laid down on his bed, placed it on top of his mouth and with one simple pull he immediately dislodged the piece of grape that was blocking his airway.
Here is how the Essent Ways Antichoke works in action
"I thought I was unlucky for being drafted in Vietnam, all these years it has brought me nothing but hardship.
The device that saved my life (the AntiChoke) was given to me by the VA, a donation from Essent Ways.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for saving my life."
