Hi all,

Don't know if any of you have tried this but my husband has found some relief with Adolph's Meat Tenderizer. Sounds nuts but it breaks up the protein that produces the mucus. Was recommended by our radiation doc in a handout. He puts a few shakes in water, swishes and gargles. It is really helping. He reduced his spitting by 50%. Try it if you dare. Your tongue will be very tender (hahahahaha)

Seriously he sees a difference. Get the unflavored.
