Gluey sliva and dry sticky lips

I'm a 30 year old male with the following symptoms: Dry, sticky lips; thick, gluey saliva. I first noticed a change in the consistency of my saliva about five years ago but, at this time, it was infrequent and only evident in the evening. Over the past year it has got considerably worse, to the point where I am experiencing these symptoms 24/7. I have no visible symptoms in the mouth like raised lumps or white patches. However, My doctor has suggested drinking plenty of fluids which I already do (2 litres of water daily) but this has not helped, what other possible causes are there for my symptoms?

You need to rule out candida, a fungal/yeast overgrowth condition, usually not recognized by many conventional doctors.
As a screening test, you may do the Saliva test for Candida.
1st thing in the morning spit in a glass of water.
If your sputum takes more than 3 minutes to disperse and dissolve in the water, or if it sinks, it indicates presence of candida. Repeat a few different days to confirm.
To treat candida, you must avoid carbohydrtes/sugars and stress, take quality probiotics  and use an ant-fungal.
The best one with the widest action against most species of candida is coconut oil. Use in your cooking or orally as a supplement, starting with 1T daily and tapering up to 6T daily
for therapeutic benefits. Give it a few weeks to see results.
Also look into Oil Pulling using coconut oil!
It is anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-parasitic and w/o any known side-effects.
Cheers,
Niko
