Dry mouth

[Guest guest]

- My teeth were having little pains and feeling uncomfortable

particularly when I woke up in the morning, and now they feel stronger

and don't have the pains or uncomfortable feelings. I don't know that

I can see an improvement in gum recession at this point, but I can see

less black discoloration in one problem tooth's base, and less tooth

sensitivity too.

I also found this .for Vicki

I found this little tidbit in my files that those of you with dry mouth may

want to try.

To stimulate saliva glands, try jaborandi, a plant grown in South America

(Brazil/Paraguay) and used by the Indians for this problem.

Thank you for advices. I don`t know if my brother have problems with

gums but I hope he knows about that. He was doctor himself but he

don`t know much about herbs and don`t use it. I will send him some

herbs to try bc he have problems talking with dry mouth and operated

tongue.Probably he will try Xylitol and oil too.

of those things. I hope they help significantly more than the

artificial saliva stuff I tried--- " Salivart " and another one for which I cannot

remember the name. It does seem to me that nothing can begin to come close to

replacing the natural production of the salivary glands. I hope your brother's

salivary glands were not irreparably damaged by the radiation. If that is the

case, I wonder if chewing xylitol gum might not be better than

anything...though, if there are few to no salivary glands functioning I am not

sure chewing gum would do much for your brother, either. I am very sorry to hear

of his condition, as I know it is very bothersome indeed, and that it can cause

significant tooth and gum damage, as well. In case your brother had not had it

emphasized to him by the doctors, it is extraordinarily necessary for him now to

take the best possible care of his teeth and gums so as to minimize

deterioration of them over the coming years.

I know that dry mouth is a side effect of a lot of drugs such as anti-

depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, allergy medication etc but I've

never heard of it associated with Gleevec. That's not to say that it

isn't possible though.

I never leave the house without water. I have to drink constantly whether a sip

or a drink or I feel nauseous.

 Yes dry mouth is an issue.

Do you have sinus issues? Have you ever been accused of snoring? If

your mouth is dry while you sleep, it's likely because you're

breathing through it instead of your nose.

+++Hi . Dry mouth can be caused by breathing through you mouth because

your nose and sinuses are plugged up, but also it can be caused by a lack of

minerals and adrenal issues which are very common for candida sufferers.

If your nose or sinuses are plugged, use these treatments to help unplug them:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sinus4.php

Ensure you are getting enough ocean sea salt, which is 1 1/2 teaspoons per day,

either in the Electrolyte Drink or added to foods after they are cooked.

Do not drink distilled or reverse osmosis water which leaches the body of

minerals. Even adding minerals to them doesn't help. It is better to use tap

water that has been filtered by something like a Brita, since tap water contains

natural minerals.

Also do things on my program that help your adrenals, which includes dry skin

brushing (or another mild form of exercise), coffee enemas, and do regular deep

breathing exercises - see this article on the adrenals:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat1.php

I hope that helps.

Thanks Cooky. I still hold out hope there is somehting that can be done to make

our glands just work a bit better. Did you find the new thing you are taking has

helped with more than just your eyes? Thansk!

Vicki,

On The Doctors show on TV the other day they talked about dry mouth. They

suggested eating sour pickles because it makes your mouth produce saliva.

They also suggested having like pebbele or cherry pits (something like this)

in your mouth and smoosh them around without swallowing because they

stimulate the paritids(sp bad) and saliva will be produced. Thot you might

want to try this.

yeah allergies worsens my eyes thats for sure. but back in the day when i didnt

have the super dry eyes but normal eyes, i could still wear my contacts even

with the worst allergies because it was a different kind of pain. it was

itchiness and watery eyes but now add that to the pain of dry eyes and it does

me in. I dont look forward to allergy season, the eye drops they make for

allergies cause more dryness, same with the allergy medicines.

There is a list called LDN_Information that was created just

for the Files and Links sections. It is not a discussion

list and does not generate messages. Any list member can

create a file or link. It is intended to be a centralized

source of information.

LND_Information

Look at both the Files and the Links for different

information source on Side Effects.

Here is one very good page:

+++Hi Jan. That's great you are on my diet. Hopefully you are also taking all

of the supplements too, since the diet and supplements work together.

You should always have coconut oil with complete meals, so tablespoons shouldn't

be taken just anytime during the day. Again, that is because all nutrients work

together.

Also do not increase the amount of coconut oil too quickly. Ensure you are

following this article to slowly get into this program:

Curing Candida, How to Get Started:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php

However, dry mouth can be caused by a lack of minerals, so ensure you are taking

1.5 teaspoons of good ocean sea salt per day as recommended, with meals of

course.

Also most people with candida have overstressed adrenals, which also causes a

dry mouth (ocean sea salt also helps the adrenals). That is because they are

very unhealthy and so their body is running on its fight/flight nervous system.

To help this do regular deep breathing exercises:

Hi Jan,

I got my mouth dry after my last infection in 2005. It is called Sjorgen;s

syndrome. I am getting close to confirm it through blood work. But Bee is right

it is pretty common for people with Candida. I suspect that I also have Lupus,

still to confirm.

+++Hi Rob,

I had Sjorgen's syndrome when I had candida too, and it is caused by toxins that

clog up the salivary glands.

You can help them a lot by massaging in and around your jaw and inside your

mouth where the glands are located.

As you progress on this program your body will detoxify itself more and more so

those issues will resolve themselves.

It is also common for people with candida to have lupus.

All the best, Bee

I believe Dry Mouth can be caused by endocrine dysfunctions. I have a total

endocrine collapse. All glands in my endocrine system are not producing

adequate hormones. I've been tested for all of them to the tune of $11,000. I

had a continual dry mouth and had to chew gum all the time.....Today after

reading this post I realized that I no longer have a dry mouth. I have saliva

in my mouth....It took this post to make me realize it. So 4 months into this

diet...no more dry mouth. I also have noticed something else very

personal.....so I will warn everyone it is very personal....just in case you

don't want to know.....I will drop down several lines before stating it....

My pubic hair that was white and very scanty is black again and 3 times fuller

than it was....so in 4 months....the endocrine system is being sparked a

little....Can't wait to see what else is coming....

Thanks to Bee and all for the knowledge, constant support and everlasting

patience and endurance for the unhealthy....Gail (curlygirl)

I have found that if i loosen my capsule very loose my mouth is not near as dry

the next morning, leave it closed up tight and my mouth is dry as a cork.

[Guest guest]

I had severe dry mouth about 6 years ago. I had to have a bottle of water with

me wherever I went.

I got a blood test and found out I was type II Diabetic with an A1C of 9.6

thanks to Prednisone. YIKES!

Now, I am OFF Pred thanks to Xolair, I diet, exercise, take Januvia and

Glyburide. My last A1C was 5.9 and dry mouth has disappeared.

Other meds can cause dry mouth but Xolair has NEVER given me ANY side effects

whatsoever and I have been on it for 7.5 years now.

Update on the pain meds:

My PCP just called me in an Rx for Trezix. It is a mixture medication of

Acetaminophen/Caffeine/Dihydrocodeine. Guess I will have to take it in the

mornings so the caffeine won't keep me up at night.
