I did some internet searches and had not come across anyone doing this. Earth Clinic is a great website for sharing and I hope this helps someone else. The dry mouth was incredibly irritating for her.

WORKED TEMPORARILY
I started to get anxious but then saw a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, the type you can use for "oral debridement" or 3%. I took a sip and started swishing it around in my mouth. The liquid almost instantly turned into foam (which means that bacteria are being killed), and I had to spit it out and get a new portion. This time the foam appeared only after 10-15 seconds. I repeated the procedure two more times, and looked at myself in the mirror. My mouth already looked much better and healthier, and my salivary glands were working! The effect did not last too long, however this is still a good "quick fix" if you want to eat, for example.

Celtic Sea Salt, Then Water

I often felt that plain water didn't quench my thirst, and my mouth felt dry even right after drinking. The remedy I use now is a small lick of Celtic Sea Salt (the French grey stuff) before drinking a glass of water. No more dry mouth and, surprisingly, sleeping longer hours before having to get up for a bathroom break. I've also started using that salt in salads etc.

Minerals are the basic elements our bodies are made of and sometimes that's just what our bodies need to miraculously get back on track. Magnesium & B Complex intake can help with dry mouth as can Iron intake as Anemia too can be the prime cause for dry mouth! Omega 3s have been suggested too.
Dry Mouth Remedies
I have gotten my dry mouth under control for most part but am now presented with another problem. I visited my endocronologist last week. He did an ultrasound on my thyroid. The 1 in. X.5 in. nodule on my left thyroid lobe is now the size of a small egg and I have one larger than a quarter on my right lobe. He has scheduled a visit with a surgeon and planning to have the thyroid removed. Also I don't think my thyroid produces anywhere except the hot nodule on the left. He mentioned that I had what he called holes in the ultrasound where the thyroid has died out. I am very uncertain about the total removal of my thyroid. Have been reading some of the symptoms of thyroidectomy and doesn't sound good. I have dealt with depression and anxiety since I went thru menopause and that is the same time my thyroid started to act up. I lost 43 lbs before anyone would give me medication. I am at 5' 6" and weigh 130 lbs. And get very sluggish if I gain as much as 5 lbs. Those who are heavy for their height are always telling me I need to gain weight. Are there any alternatives I can take to keep from having the surgery? Is there something that I can do to reduce the nodules and get my thyroid operating properly? I was surprised it had grown so even though I was taking medication. It has been 4 years since I had an ultrasound. Thanks in advance for your reply.

This article -- from the most current research from Dr Abraham's Iodine Project -- covers the older use of iodine, safety, history and something called "iodophobia" or the origins of the current fear of too much iodine intake. This fear of iodine has been spread by the modern modern medical fraternity in order that other more dangerous synthetic drugs -- ie Synthroid, Thyrogen etc. -- might be used instead of the cheaper iodine(which can't be patented), thus allowing more profit for the drugs industries.
You can treat both hyperthyroid and hypothyroid with lugol's iodine(using much larger doses than are recommended with the RDA).
If your TSH levels are normal with the thyroid output high, then your current "hot area" of the thyroid may be caused by excess flouride uptake rather than iodine uptake. This causes thyroid resistance in the iodine receptors which may cause this thyroid area to overproduce and upset the thyroid hormone balance in the regulating feedback loop. You can read all the research articles from the Iodine Project -- which is the most current research on iodine use and dosage -- from this link:
http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/opt_Research_I.shtml
Iodine will remove dangerous flourine and bromine form your body -- including your thyroid, so taking lugol's iodine is beneficial and healing in this respect. Your readings of the Iodine Project iodine dosages for hypertyroidism will give you some idea of the necessary dosage of iodine to take for hyperthyroidism -- and will generally be in dosages over 100 times more than the current RDA for iodine.
Borax also removes excess flouride from your body. See this link for Borax use:
https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/borax.html
I also believe that you should do all you can to avoid letting the medical fraternity kill off your thyroid with dangerous radioactive substances. If this happens, then you will be taking synthetic drugs as recommended by the medical fraternity for life. You will also probably have incurable problems from hypothyroidism and become totally reliant on these thyroid drugs. Read the rest of research from The Iodine Project here:
Dry Mouth Remedies
1. Lots of water (even though it tasted metallic and bitter)
2. Olive Leaf Extract
3. Allergy medication (I think it was steroidal) for sinus issues I was having - never had allergies before or since, but I took this for two months and I think it helped. As a short-term fix it made me feel a lot better. Mine went away coinciding with our rainy season which makes me think it was some kind of airborne allergy. I also had some digestive problems at the time, but nothing like you mention.
Dry Mouth Remedies
Sorry I have not responded sooner. Thanks for your reply. Just read it today. Lots has happened with family and myself since I contacted you in April I was hospitalized twice in last month for Diverticulitis (upper left colon) of which I am not sure that is my real problem. I had surgery Oct 2008 to remove 8 inches of my lower colon. Only had about 6 months of freedom from digestive pain. I now have consistent lower abdomenal pain that started in May after my Dry burning mouth started. Everything has been negative for female and bladder conditions. Also was tested for Sjogren's in April. Came back negative. Seems though that my symptoms are very similar to Sjogren's with the lethargy and digestive symptoms. Had 24/7 severe nausea, ab pain with ocassional vomiting for 2 months prior to hospitalization. My dry, burning mouth was almost gone until I was loaded with antibiotics while in hospital. The dry mouth has returned with a vengance. I am also being treated for severe anxiety which is enhanced from external circumstances. I drink approx. 64 oz of water daily. At time of hospitalization I weighed 112 lbs. Am now up to 118 lbs. I had considered the tapazole and was wondering if I should have redioactive iodine to irradicate the hot nodule that is causing the hyperthyroid. Think some of the anxiety comes from that even though blood tests are normal. Then I would have to deal with hypothyroid and keeping that in check. I have always been very active and full of energy. Walked 3 miles and climbed 500 steps daily. Have done woodworking, carpentry, plumbing, drywall, and you name it, I have done most every thing. Fortunately I have a new gastro/surgeon specialist who does not believe in massive antibiotics and unnecessary surgery. I am now at 180 degrees of what I was spring 2009. I have tried grapefruit seed extract liqud but not sure the brand I have is the purest first letter S last letter Y. Surely there is an answer with something natural that God provided for us on this earth. I know God does not intend life to be this way.
Got any more suggestions? Will be most grateful.
Dry Mouth Remedies
Here is a description of many of the side-effects from Tapazole:
"Major adverse reactions (which occur with much less frequency than the minor adverse reactions) include inhibition of myelopoieses (agranulocytosis, granulocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia), aplastic anemia, drug fever, a lupuslike syndrome, insulin autoimmune syndrome (which can result in hypoglycemic coma), hepatitis (jaundice may persist for several weeks after discontinuation of the drug), periarteritis, and hypoprothrombinemia. Nephritis occurs very rarely.
Minor adverse reactions include skin rash, urticaria, nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, arthralgia, paresthesia, loss of taste, abnormal loss of hair, myalgia, headache, pruritus, drowsiness, neuritis, edema, vertigo, skin pigmentation, jaundice, sialadenopathy, and lymphadenopathy."
-- Taken from RxList
Tapazole seems to be a drug with wide and quite serious side-effects to the liver, kidney and intestines.
From what you describe as your symptoms, you might have what's called Sjogren's Syndrome.

A white tongue can also indicate dehydration -- more water needed. You describe that you have a creamy white coated tongue which could also indicate Oral Thrush or Intestinal Candida or both. If the creamy white coating is just on the front of your tongue then this might mean just oral thrush but if this creamy coating extends to beyond the back of your tongue or is patchy, then there's a good chance you might also have candida in the intestines.
If you have had any recurring yeast infections, eczma, athlete's foot, psoriasis, bloating, constipation, low energy etc. -- these can all be indicators of candida(as was the case for my own candida problem).
It might be worth checking to see whether both your saliva and urine are acidic -- using pH strips bought at the chemist. This will also tend to confirm body acidity and candida.
Dry Mouth Remedies
I started about 2 months ago waking with dry mouth to the point that it was difficult to close or open. About 6 weeks ago I started having ulcers on my tongue then Burn Mouth. Extremey painful all inside mouth, throat, lips, sometimes nose and ears. I went to the dentist he gave me a magic mouth concoction, didn't help. Just made my mouth numb for a short time. Then he said I have Burning mouth syndrome. Gave me a trycilic antidepressant which has a side effect of dry mouth. I finally had a good day yesterday but was overwhelmed with dry mouth last evening and today with dry and burning. My tongue is mostly creamy colored. Has been that way for days. have been drinking Ted's baking soda off and on and today. I drink lots of water. I had a uti and was treated with that 2 weeks ago. I also have hyperthyroid and have taken tapazole 10mg for 8 years. Do you have any suggestions or could this be a question for Ted. I am almost 62 years old, female, 5'6", weigh 128 lbs and loosing more, and most miserable with this 24 hr condition.

My problems with dry mouth started when I began taking an anti depressant. It only affected me when I would lie down to sleep. The dryness was so bad that it was seriously interfering with my sleep. I do not like the idea of taking things with sugar, sugar substitutes or any kinds of chemicals and putting them into my mouth to stop the dryness, tho when I did give in and try some OTC products, they didn't help much.
What has helped dramatically with dry mouth has been fennel seed, organic. Right before bed I take about 1/2 tsp. and chew it a little to soften it, then use my tongue to tuck the seeds under my upper & lower lip, between there & the teeth. The flavonoids in the fennel causes me to salivate, but not to a bothersome extent. Sometimes the little seeds fall down onto my tongue at night, but that doesn't hurt anything & I never have come close to choking. Works every time! For dry eyes, I noticed one commercial product had castor oil in it, & some kind of chemical. Every night before I got to bed I wet my finger with castor oil, not so that it is dripping wet. Then I rub the inner side of the lower lids with the oil, close my eyes & roll my eyes around. It helps a ton!

What actually happened was that my body was gently transformed. My psoriasis disappeared rather quickly as I recall. My stools became softer, smaller and completely regular on a daily basis (before, it was 3 or 4 days between my stools).
I am also convinced that the baking soda remedies that I took every day were responsible for gently clearing my liver and gall bladder of all gallstones. I could feel them coming out -- felt like hard peas. This lasted 6 months. I also lost a great deal of weight(because of excreting all the stones from the liver and gall bladder) and I am no longer overweight now and have no "pot belly" at all.
The external fungus was quite another problem. The tinea cruris(jock itch) was tenacious!! Bye the way, I found out that tinea cruris(jock itch) is exactly the same as tinea pedis(athletes foot) -- only the locations are different. I tried all the drugs, none worked. Then I tried a mixture of athletes foot powder during the day, and Milk of Magnesia(MoM) at night after my shower. When I started to apply the MoM, the jock itch went away in about 2 days -- not a sign of it!!
In other advice here from Ted, he says that MoM easily kills any microbes or fungus on the skin -- because no microbe or fungus can survive an alkalinity and pH of between 9 and 10. MoM also kills MRSA according to Ted's research. Powerful but fairly gentle stuff.
I also suffered no ill affects at all from these various protocols.
I use "Arm and Hammer" baking soda and "_____s Apple Cider Vinegar" in the Baking Soda protocols below.
Lime(or Lemon) Baking Soda remedy
Squeeze a whole lime or lemon into a glass
Add half a teaspoon of Baking Soda slowly. It will fizz!!
Add water up to half a glassful.
Drink it in one.
Apple Cider Vinegar(ACV) Baking Soda remedy
Two tablespoons of ACV in a glass
Add Half a teaspoon of Baking Soda. It will fizz!!
Add water to half a glass
Drink it in one.
The Lime/lemon BS will just alkalize your intestines. The ACV BS remedy will both alkalize your gut as well as your blood and will give you more energy too. You canc also just put half a teaspoon of BS into half a glass of water and drink it -- this will alkalize just the blood. I generally mix all these protocols now, depending on how I feel.
These baking soda remedies must always be taken at least an hour before or 2 hours after meals, 2 or 3 times a day. Do NOT take these BS remedies during meals, because they are alkaline and will neutralize your stomach acids and your food will not be digested properly causing problems.
My own regimen now is to take these BS remedies first thing in the morning, and again at about 9 pm at night -- I only take it twice a day now. Also, Ted advises that you should take these BS remedies for five days, then rest for two days, and then begin again the following week.
The above protocols are further explained here by Ted and others:
https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/alkalizing_formulas.html
Milk of Magnesia protocol.
Shake the bottle well.
Apply the MoM liberally by hand or with cotton wool to the infected skin area
Leave it on for 20 mins. It will become dry and dusty.
Wash off well.
Apply a hydrating cream such as cocoa butter to the infected area and that's it.
I used to apply the MoM last thing at night and leave it on all night, then shower it off in the morning. This might be a little extreme for some people with sensitive skin because MoM does have quite a drying affect on the skin. If you apply the MoM a few times a day with a natural hydrating cream in the manner advised this will not be as extreme as my own approach!!
Here is some more reading for you regarding MoM cures which might be of some help:

It may be that you actually have Candidiasis in the intestines. I had Candida a few years ago, and mainly used Ted's ACV/Lime/Lemon baking soda protocols to get rid of it successfully. I also used Milk of Magnesia(also advised by Ted) as an external application to get rid of tinea cruris(jock itch), athletes foot, psoriasis and other external invasive fungi and yeasts from the outside of my body. All gone now and it was quite easy and cheap, but took a little while.
