“I am a 35 year old female suffering from complete lack of saliva after radiation treatment. I really just want to sleep for one complete night. How can I try out a Saliwell? I am willing to travel. I am a school teacher and cannot teach a full day without a sore throat. I've tried acupuncture, Salagen (pilocarpine), and Evoxac (cevimeline). Please help.”

“Since my cancer radiation treatment my saliva was dramatically reduced. Eating, swallowing, drinking and even talking are very difficult. Needless to say this has affected the quality of my work and overall life. When I read the article about the Saliwell System that you have developed, I thought it could truly help me. Life would certainly be a lot more enjoyable if I could eat, drink, and talk freely.”

“For more than four years I have been suffering from GOUJEROT-SJÖGREN syndrome feeling a dryness of the mouth followed by difficulties to speak, chew and swallow. Sensations of burn come from sugar, and acid or spicy foods. Painful fissures appear on lips corners. Fast tooth decaying has been followed by partial lost of tooth and impossibility to tolerate denture. As consequence of this present state, my mood and social behaviour have been deeply affected; so far, I go through a traumatic existence with little interest for my life. I went to consult in France and in Spain - where I stay presently - and the answer was always the same: "no cure". Nevertheless, I have learnt that yourself Dr A. Wolff, had discovered a way to cure my illness physiological and psychological, this is why I am asking for your help.”

“My wife has suffered seriously from xerostomia for years, and GenNarino would provide her with the relief that we have been unable to find anywhere else.”

“My mother, a cancer survivor, cut out this article immediately after she read it. The radiation caused her salivary glands in her mouth to stop functioning completely and after many years due to the lack of saliva she has had to stop eating food by mouth. Four years ago, she underwent a procedure that hooked up a tube to her stomach to the outside of her body so that she could feed herself. It has always been a dream of mine for my mother to be able to normally eat again one day. I am eighteen years old and when I was younger I used to tell my mother how some day I was going to find a way for her to eat again. Maybe your Saliwell Crown is the answer to our prayers! I would love for my mother to have the chance to be a part of your experiment with the Saliwell Crown or to someday be able to wear the Saliwell Crown. I know it is a huge thing to ask, but please consider my mother for this trial.”

“My mother, who´s 50 years old, has Sjögren´s Syndrome for several years. In Portugal she doesn´t have the assistance she needs and she´s suffering a lot with dry mouth. She had many teeth problems and her mouth and tongue are always burning. I would like to know more about the Saliwell device and how can I acquire one. Your project is giving me and my mother a new hope for a better quality of life.”

“Due to radiation treatment, I have a very dry mouth, difficulty eating, tasting, etc, and could not believe it when I read of this in my local newspaper. It has been three and a half years for me, and I never anticipated an improvement, but now I dare to dream.....”

“As an Australian throat cancer patient I have been suffering from dry mouth and the other effects of Radiation treatment. If the device works, I will move to where ever needed to get one and receive follow up. I am a 46 year old IT professional so moving is not a major problem compared to the dry mouth, etc. Please keep up the great work.”
Australia

“My mother in law is 82 and does complain of dry mouth for roughly a year. She is treated by a physician who gave her your name and made a biopsy according to which her dysphagia is due to Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome. We would appreciate to get your details and be kept informed of the marketing of your device. If necessary, she might also fly to Israel.”
France

“I am very very interested in your Saliwell Crowns! I am a Sjögren's patient who is just now getting 3 implants for molars I have lost due to Sjögren's. To actually have enough saliva to go through the day and night without choking would be amazing! Maybe I could return to some of my old foods and drinks which are now far too acidic for my tongue. Wow. Congratulations on your wonderful invention! We Sjögren's people salute you!”
Canada

“I am very excited about the prospect of your implanted tooth system. My physicians are also excited at the prospect of the success of your product. Salivary gland cancer six years ago left me with dry mouth. The prospect of not having to carry around a bottle of water everywhere I go is very exciting to me. I understand that this will not be done in the US until late 2005 or 2006. I would love not to have to wait this long. I would be available to come to Israel or any other country doing these trials.”

“I received radiation and chemotherapy for cancer at the base of my tongue 4.5 years ago. I still have some saliva but not a lot - enough to sleep overnight with only occasional sips of water. While I live in Canada, I am a British citizen and would be able to obtain treatment in the UK or elsewhere in Europe.”
