I want to post some good news. 18 months out of treatment, with only a very small amount of saliva, I tried acupuncture for dry mouth again. I got significant saliva immediately after my first treatment. This continued all day long, producing enough to be able to actually spit saliva.

I've been seeing a new acupuncturist to see if acupuncture could help my peripheral neuropathy, based upon my Oncology radiologist's recommendation that she'd read that it has been helpful. It did not help me. However, I decided that since I was at the acupuncturist I'd have her give a shot at the dry mouth. I did not show her the info that I had on acupuncture protocols, she used her own, simpler than all the other protocols that I've tried: Success!

One factor that I'd never been able to find in the reviews of the clinical testing of acupuncture is how far out from the end of treatment were the subjects in the trials. Obviously that is a factor that needs be considered.

I go back for a second treatment tomorrow.

I will keep you posted as to developments.

HURRAH!
