I did acupunture before and during my radiation. NOt only helped with saliva flow, but helped a lot with being able to eat. My RO had 21 OC patients at the time and I and a man I referred to my acupuncurist were the only two that didn't have to go an a feeding tube. Now my RO refers to the acpuncturist regularly. I was glad to have someone open to alternative treatments to help the radiation process.
