for my part ancedotal only. My prothodontist who specializes in oral cancer said he has referred many patients for accupuncture with about a 50% success rate in increasing saliva.
Before I could try it myself, the cancer came back and now my mouth is drowning in saliva & mucous since I can't swallow even the former trickles that barely registered before mount up when they have no where to go. I'd rather have the dry mouth back again and be able to eat and swallow and just drink my 16 bottle of water a day like I used to.
