Some Proven Cures for the Hiccups

I suffer from some pretty intense, loud and long lasting hiccups so when I came across this information I thought that I would pass it on to others who are also afflicted. 

The New England Journal of Medicine reports these as proven remedies for hiccups:   eating a teaspoon of sugar, tickling the roof of your mouth where the hard palate meets the soft palate with a Q-tip, or placing your finger in your ear.  I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet.  I will let you know if they work for me.  Let me know if they work for you.
