Salivary Glands damage from rad

Hello again.Thanks for the suggestions.The docs gave me no advice or suggestion about my salivary glands.I've done research and experimenting on my own and tried the combo acupuncture/herbs with amazing results.I have significantly improved my salivary flow although it's only from one major gland.The acupuncturist told me he can only activate one.And it's only temp up to a yr or more.I'm certainly not complaining.Because i will see him the rest of my life.It was amazing after the 10th session the flow of this gift called saliva.He put needles in my face and neck chinese style.Now i don't drink water that much and don't get up at all night time to have a drink.Up to the time i met him i was so depressed and the quality of life was terrible.I don't know if the needles are keeping my throat open or not but since i started i haven't had but one esophageal dilation in the last two yrs.Had 8 before that over 2yrs time.Maybe the western docs are so programmed they can't see the forest through the trees.But anyway i hope my story can help others suffering..   Charlie W.
