What is the recipe please.

How often?

They told me at the Cancer Ctr and I thought I wrote it down.... I'm just good like that.

Check the Superthread, the brains to my operation (Candy) is not available.

I used it every day, multiple times a day

Wish I could help with this but I never really used that. Have you talked to your Dr about using Glutamine? Probably wouldn't need it this soon but good to have on hand when your mouth starts to get sore.

phrannie,

That is the recipe that I was told to use when I started my radiation. About the end of week 3, I increased the salt and baking soda to one Tablespoon of each in the quart of room temperature water, it helped allot. I would rinse and gargle as often as every 30 minutes if I felt I needed too.

My Best to You and Everyone Here

We would mix up a batch and put into empty water bottles that I just kept by the sink for use throughout the day. Shake before use.
