Elliot- Since I like plants I always google conditions and herbs,
here's info from one site with some suggestions-

http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/dry_mouth.htm

Supplements and herbs

Dosages of the herbs such as prickly ash tincture can be utilized in
volumes of about 10-20 drops in a 1/4 cup of water, this preparation
can be consumed about 3-7 times a day. This herb is effective in the
simulation of salivation, in people who have dry mouth that has been
caused by unrelated radiation treatment to cure some other disease.
Oral irritation is also prevented when this herb is used. Use can also
be made of the tea made out of the slippery elm –available loose or
bagged in the market. This tea can be prepared and drunk when needed,
and according to the instructions given on the packet, the major action
of the slippery elm is that it can greatly reduce the discomfort felt
in the mouth. Another herb that can be used for treatment is Solomon's
seal this can be taken in the form of Probotannix capsules in dosages
of about 1,000-2,000 mg a day, the main action is that it eases the
discomfort and relieves the dry mouth that has been brought on because
of the use of medications for other diseases and ailments."

Eric- Have you considered LDN as a possible treatment for the
auto-immune condition and also cancer?
