Hi. You should wait the veterans here to give you a proper answer, but since it is taking a bit for this to happen, I'll give you my opinion.

  First I should say I'm not sure this kind of "short term hack" is really the focus here, I believe it is more along the lines of whole brain health, something which may take quite some time to even notice. Even when tutorials talk about quick hacks, it is usually to help stay on the right track.

  But, with that said, I for one do have a dry mouth when going to sleep or waking up, and swallow reflex is also there. Dunno if it is related to what you describe but, I try to drink lots of water before sleeping (tho it may have the side effect of going to the bathroom in odd times). Also, I try not to feed much (or at all) too close to sleeping time, as digestion takes lots of water to happen. Years ago I tried to eat watermelons before sleep, as it has lots of water, but that didnt work, it just made me go a lot to the bathroom before I ever managed to sleep... (it may work for others tho, cause i think my problem there was the actual sleeping, since I have a somewhat sensitive "ear" and bats' sonars are common around the crypt)

  Dunno if that helps but... hey awesome avatar =)

Nope, I was in fact born a genius (I actually pity all you humans, but this kind of attitude is what gets me banned from nice places like this). Just kidding of course (or am I?) but it's more like we ALL have a ferrari but must drive at 3 mph to avoid all the constant BULLSHIT most humans throw our way.

  NH is more like entering the highway, instead of playing THEIR way! (hey, nice inversion of the popular saying huh? Moderators, feel free to add that definition of NH to the n00b section eh? ;-))

"Its a neat idea that you can change your neurological structure already at this age,"

How old you think I am? See my own avatar, the sphinx was built in my honor! [This sentence is obsolete]

"in my mind these things are associated with year 2030 lol."

oh... that's what you mean (I'm not that smart after all IQ doesn't really matter much you see [oops, I betray myself])... as it turns out, we've been doing it all our lives, except that if we don't really know (or care) where we wanna get to then it really doesn't matter which way you go.

  About the water, I don't know, you'll have to test yes.. my problem is thirst (i think, still testing here too ), but yea, maybe there is a lot of fluid there and that's why you get this. However, you may try being aware if it correlates with being anxious before or after as I also knew a friend who, in this case, it wasn't saliva but sweat and in the hands, and I had a bit of that too, but not as much and much rarer (but I think it may had correlation with humans). So maybe they are related.

Another thing is just trying not to spit, see how long you can take it and if you can extend that time period, for example, my father has a bad habit of blowing his nose a lot in the bathroom, sometimes it is really obsessive, and you can hear there is nothing coming out anymore, but, of course, after you take all your protection away, any little particle will irritate the skin and cause more mucus to be produced which will soon cause itching, but if you allowed it to do its job, then it would stop being produced since no particles would reach the nerves to stimulate it. Maybe something similar could be happening, I don't know.

EDIT: to reflect avatar change...

Hi dude,
With no other symptoms apparent it's difficult to trace causes, but one reason for excess salivation is our system trying to balance intestinal chemistry. We notice this sometimes if feeling nauseous; a sudden rush of excess saliva is produced and we have to swallow a lot or spit it out (actually swallowing it is the sensible option -when the gut chemistry is balanced, the salivation stops).

If you've noticed any stomach or digestive problems, or if you don't follow a healthy diet, this could be one cause. Check out the articles below, might help you assess whether any other symptoms are present.

Wow, how many of us here have experienced this feeling?  :  )  I know I have. It's very cool; knowing we have this potential, like being given a second chance to live our lives and develop our minds as biology intended, without any of the bullshit programming this time round; without any of the damage. It's also an immense amount of fun. There is so much more to the real world, our relationships and our culture; once we get, for want of a better colloquial term, 'out of the matrix'. I felt like someone had taken a bag off my head when I first experienced this, a bag or a blindfold that I never knew was there before. Or like stepping out of a cloud of pollution and seeing a whole new landscape brimming with fresh air  :  )   Enjoy it, dude.

That's the aim. -To become our real selves in the real world and wave bye-bye to all the artifice and bollocks.

Most here are atheist/agnostic, but research implies human spirituality has nothing to do with religions societies invented. You may enjoy Lipton's lecture:

Hi dude,
Good luck with the research on salivation -if you discover anything new let us know.

Sorry dude no interest in 'conspiracy theories', I see 'em as just another pile of crap from the Toilet Empire no different from all the other crap they throw our way  :  )  There's a time and place for speculation without evidence, and it's when you're out of it purely for a laugh.

There is however plenty of evidence for tech/drugs etc either being used deliberately to spike us (as in Rohypnol in drinks) or inadvertantly doing it anyway (as in ultrasound, which has been shown to create rogue prions yet is still used in regular scanning including of unborn infants*.) Truth can be much stranger than fiction, and is just as scary as the X Files.

Ive read that if you feed certain parts of the brain a continuous flow of 9 volt, it will make you learn twice as fast,get super quick reactions , recall information faster and you will be making faster decisions. And it makes you a good shooter apparently. Can you guys find out how to do that? The millitary is doing it, so basically attach a battery to the brain. And dude send me some acid in the mail if you have good stamps, I wana try some.
