Question Falure of salivary glands

I am asking this on behalf of my elderly Father.Six months ago,he felt there was somthing wrong with his mouth. It turned out the saliva glands had ceased production.
This may seem a strange complaint,but it is now severely affecting his quality of life.
It is very distressing to witness someone turn from a very jovial type, to someone who has lost all interest in life, due to the constant discomfort.
The doctors he has seen say there is no cure.
If anyone in PPRuNe land has come across this before and knows of a possible cure I would be etenally grateful!
