David,

Try www.cancer.org it's the American Cancer Society's website...search "thick saliva" they have a list of do's and don'ts...Maybe you're eating or drinking something that is activating the thick saliva? If not, the list of foods might help you decrease the thickness...In any case, what Dr. Mike told you is pretty much on that website.

Hopefully it thins soon.

Best wishes,

Raymond
