I am having my second cankor sore within just a few weeks of my last one.

Is there a natural remedy? It's painful, and I just had some walnuts, which

made it really hollar.

lysine either internally or topically

The Lysine should probably be taken in a dose larger than the bottle recommends.

Pop a couple of capsules down a couple of times during the day. It deals with

the Herpes Virus and works for Shingles as well as other Herpes attacks.

Janine,

Is it a canker sore or a cold sore. I don't think lysine will do anything for a

canker sore.

Canker sores are generally caused by some sort of mouth trauma or eating foods

that are too acidic, or under ripe. They may also be linked to a mineral or

vitamin deficiency, but I'm not sure.

I used to get horrible canker sores after seeing the dentist. I've stopped

eating oranges - which I'm allergic to, anyway, and I haven't had one since.

I basically would take some ibuprofin an hour or so before eating and that took

the pain away enough to eat.

It is also being said that fluoride toothpaste can be a cause of canker

sores.

I used to have them and would take the Lysine and clear them up but they

would come back. Not until I took a B complex 100 for a long time did I

finally get rid of them. I no longer have them.

Yes, it is true that certain foods can cause them.

I have also found that Blackstrap molasses is good to take in the mouth

and slowly swallow will help to ease the pain and aid the healing. It is

high in minerals the body can handle immediately.

You have too much pitta or fire. You need to cut outspicy foods, salty foods

and sour foods, which include fermented foods, tomatoes and citrus. Eat sweet

foods, bitter foods and herbs and astringent foods. Foods with a lot of oil is

like adding oil to fire. It burns. Ghee or clarified butter is the best oil

for pitta.

One can research this themselves, however, Lysine is effective for Canker.

Here's one of many sites:

http://www.healingdaily.com/conditions/canker-sores.htm

This is a great Alternative list , however, one can still get confused by too

much information which is why, when someone suggests something, let your fingers

do the walking and substantiate what was said. DO NOT take anyone's word for

ANYTHING without verifying it. Lysine is the 'supplement' of choice for my wife

and grandson, both of whom, get what appear to be canker. Make sure certain

food rich in Arginine are avoided. Chocolate, peanuts and the rest? Check it

out on line. If they 'listen' and act quickly, both my wife and grandson have

short-lived episodes.

There was a time Carrington labs offered a 'patch' that one put on top of the

canker, inside the mouth, and the pain disappeared almost instantly. It had an

aloe base but I do not think it is available anymore. Hmmm, I think it's time

to check for it.

Here's one from The Mayo Clinic:

" Alternative treatments. There are a number of drug-free options for treating

and preventing canker sores, including zinc lozenges, large doses of vitamin C

and B complex, probiotics such as acidophilus, and lysine supplements. Some

people make a paste of alum, slippery elm powder or deglycyrrhizinated licorice

(DGL) and apply it directly to the sores.

Isn't it funny how we run to conventonal sources if they back up what we

believe? Keep in mind, Lysine can also be effective for COLD SORES and an

attack of Shingles.

It's a canker sore. I used to get them a lot, but didn't have any for a good

while, and now they seem to be starting up again.

I used to get them all the time when under stress - terrible ones on the back of

my throat and tongue as well as my gums. I switched from using regular

toothpaste to sodium lauryl sulfate toothpaste. Toms of Maine makes a SLS free

toothpaste. That has helped tremendously. Also, cutting out as much as possible

of very acidic foods helped. But I really do find since switching TP a huge

change occurred.
