_____NATASHA VERUSCHKA_____
___"THE QUEEN OF SWORDS"___

"The World's Only Sword Swallowing/Belly Dancer"
"A Two Time Guinness World Record Holder"

The x-rays below are of Natasha swallowing one of her
Neon Swords. They were taken at "The Swallowing &
Research Laboratory of The University of Wisconsin-
Madison & U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs &
Geriatric, Research, Education and Clinical Center
at Wm. S. Middletown Veterans Hospital. Natasha is
proud to be part of a medical study that will help
people who have trouble swallowing. (eating, drinking
and so on...) This is a very serious problem and due
in part to Natasha's role in this study, the hospital
recieved a "Million Dollar Grant" to continue their research.

Natasha performed at their Medical Convention, then
the second day - it's off to the hospital for x-rays
of her swallowing sword after sword ( steel & neon.)
Also, they gave her liquids to track her swallowing
path. It took her body three days to recover from all
the swords, liquids, and of course the radiation.
