At the suggestion of my sister, an RN, I went to see a chiropractor/digestive health specialist. He started me on Chiro-Zyme enzymes SVG, STM and OPT, saying these would stimulate salivary activity. At the same time, I'm still taking Evoxac as prescribed by the radiation doc. My mouth does seem less dry but still not good enough for eating normally. Of course it could be a placebo effect or one or the other or all together. These enzymes are a bit pricey so I'm wondering if anyone else has had success with this type of therapy or if you know that it's a rip-off or any info.
