I began using CloSYS about 8 months ago when my new dentist brought it to my attention that I was allergic to my toothpaste. I had what I thought was just "stringy saliva" and he showed me it was the skin inside my mouth that was sloughing off from the allergic reaction. For 3 years prior to that event, I had discovered a lump in my neck that was diagnosed as a swollen paratid gland (spit gland). I was getting quite concerned and had just gone for a second opinion and was told that I should have it surgically removed because 20% of those can become cancerous. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled with someone cutting into my neck and face! I was in the midst of making a decision on the surgery when my dentist had me switch my toothpaste. Within a month or two (still no surgery for the lump), my parotid gland swelling went away completely. It is now 6 months later, the lump has not returned and I'm still using the CloSYS.
