Although unrelated, I wanted to let you know that I used Ice Chip Post Operatively to help with swelling in the mouth and neck.

It significantly reduced the swelling and pain, from about an 8 to a 6, whenever I needed it.

It's a little uncomfortable, and nowhere near as easy as popping some pill, which is why, most likely no one really does it.

Good luck with you little study though...Your work is appreaciated by us all who will be following in your footsteps.

Maybe we should start of list of neoadjunctive and complimentary medicine things specifically to combat the ugly side effects of radiation.

I've heard Beta Carotene reduces skin burning greatly.
