OK, we're a few weeks in, and here's my experience so far.

I was advised to come 2 X a week, but the place I chose only opens in the afternoon, and is in Salem, MA (I live across the bridge in Beverly). For those unfamiliar, Salem has in recent years fancied itself Mardi Gras for the autumn, with a month long celebration of Halloween called "Haunted Happenings". Bottom line is that the scariest thing about this event is the traffic. So I have not managed 2X per week, more once. In the week after the first session, I thought I noticed some small improvement. What I noticed is that I was home for 45 minutes, and had not poured myself a glass of water yet. I noticed the improvement because I did not need as much to remedy it. Since then, not much improvement. But after Halloween, I will be able to go more than once per week, and will make a real assessment of whether there is any there there.

By the way, I have continued with zinc, which I think is helpful for rebuilding the sense of taste. I take a zinc supplement every day, and it is almost 60 days from last rads, and I am beginning to see improvement. I said just after treatment I had about 2% of my sense of taste left, but now I'd say more like 7-10%.

I started with the umami flavors-- browned meat, roast flavors. But maple syrup tasted like water, watermelon like a cuke, etc. Now I am starting to get some sweet flavors coming in sideways, sort of. And I cooked a ciopinno (fish stew) and the broth was great. I felt like I could taste most of that, even if the tomatoes weren't registering.
