OK. I'm home. I'm packed or mostly packed. Flying used to be fun. Now it is a challenge to figure out where to put what and get it all in one suitcase. If they keep it up, the luggage will cost more than the ticket.

Anyway, the device is called Salitron and was/is made by Biotronics. My RO got it for me. It was experimental on H&N patients in 1997. You can't use this until your mouth is healed. It delivers a small electric charge to the roof of the mouth for several minutes, like 6 if I remember. I think one used it daily 3 times a day. I have no literature on it that I can find. I stopped using it when it no longer had any noticeable effect which was after a few weeks.

Check out the Salagen. That is probably your best bet for the least sdie effects for the moment. I do not need a bottle of water at all unless I'm taking a lot.

Take care,
Eileen
