Guest guest Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yes, canker sores, cold sores, shingles and herpes are all related virus'. They are a family of lipid enveloped virus that are very difficult to eliminate from the body. Shingles actually comes out of having chick pox and then often shows up much later in life. There are treatments found to " cure " these ailments but are not legal at least in the U.S. like using ozone therapy. Monolaurin is as close to a " cure " as I know that is legal.On 9/9/07, Cassidy < christinecassidy@...> wrote: I do not think canker sores are a herpes virus. They are a virus, but a different one.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 , It is actually a form of herpes The same virus is involved but they are classified into type 1 and 2. The site you posted says this: A canker sore is a painful, open sore in the mouth, which is white or yellow and surrounded by a bright red area. A canker sore is benign (not cancer).

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 That would be true of most all disease but I'm not sure testing saliva or urine is much of a test really. You would need to test your intercellular fluid to know if your blood is being effected. Even the folks who use ph strips and do a little act on acid/alkaline balancing have told me " back stage " they know it is not much of a test but it gives people something to do. Also don't be fooled by inaccurate lists that state foods like dates to be alkalizing. I think you can tell just from eating a macrobiotic diet that some foods make you feel more centered and focused and are usually more alkaline. A date might have some minerals that make it come up alkaline in certain studies but come on, it is full of sugar and that far outweighs the few minerals. How do you feel when you eat the very sweet dates? More centered or more spacey, relaxed, etc??? I like to teach yin/yang along with acid/alkaline because using the two systems together there can be a greater understanding. Balance is not achieved in the extremes. It is a practice. All of us play with this practice and the more understanding and awareness you have the better it gets. Vitamin C is necessary for immune function especially when eating a grain based diet. It's an acid and very yin so yes, high doses would aggrivate all of the herpes related virus even though some could help. Again, balance.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi Holly, As an adult I get canker sores. Something that I've found helpful is making sure I take a vitamin C supplement. It makes the sores heal faster. Thus, I give my son a chewable Flintstones on a daily basis. I haven't seen any canker sores in his mouth since I started giving him the vitamin. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Steph, I have no idea what causes these sores but my daughter gets them often.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 If they are truly a herpes outbreak taking Lysine will help. You can find it in capsule form and open the capsule to give to her - not sure the age of your child. In addition, topical Lysine works well, but usually can only be found at a compounding pharmacy. You can take a very large dose of Lysine without any side effects. I usually take 5 capsules a day as needed. It should not only make the outbreak duration shorter, but help the pain as well.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have the same thing. I have not found anything to help it stay dormant but definitely avoiding stress & trying to stay healthy. I know when I am getting sick or my body is run down beacuse it flares up. It is very painful & I have found that Anbesol Maximum strength helps ease the pain & they seem to heal faster when I use it. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi all, Canker sores can be a big "pain in the mouth". I have had to deal with them my whole life. Alot of people say stress is the cause but, I don't think that is always the case. Alot of people say poor nutrition is the case but, I don't think that is always the case either. Here are a few things to try:- As was already said, the amino acid L-Lysine will help to knock them out or stop one from coming to a full head most of the time (I'll explain why "most of the time" below). As Caroline already said, high doses are usually needed. My nephew will take 5 to 10 lysine pills (500mg each) at the outset of a canker sore and it will stop it from forming. I have tried this sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.- Try gargling with Listerine, yes, it has to be Listerine brand not an off brand. Walmart's Equate version doesn't do the trick, believe me. At the first sign of a canker sore, swish some around in your mouth and hold it in there for about 1 minute. Keep it right on the sore spot as much as possible. Then gargle with the Listerine. Gargle with it extensively throughout the day. First thing when waking up, gargle with it. It supposedly kills all of those "bad" bacterias that have been brewing in your mouth when you are sleeping. This has worked quite well for me but, it is harder to do on a child due to the hotness of the Listerine.- When we lived overseas years ago, I never once got a canker sore. Our diet consisted of fruits & veggies, bread & yogurt. As soon as I got back to the States and had a few hamburgers and canned foods, boom, here came a canker sore. My guess is the preservatives. Unless you are a hard core vegetarian, this could be a reason canker sores come. Just my theory . . .- Sometimes, I think (well, I know it to be true in m own mouth), when a person has decay in their mouth (ie. cavities, bad brushing habits), more caner sores pop up. Whenever I go tot he dentist for dental work, I have a break out of canker sores. The past few months, I had to have a root canal & 4 crowns put on (bad teeth genetics run in the family!). I had so many canker sores, it was ridiculous. My mom found out from her dentist that it is caused sometimes by the mouth being overly dry, like when they have to put a crown on, they blow it dry excessively, they stuff cotton all around the gumline, etc . . . Plus, once one canker sore gets going, it can cause an "epidemic" in your mouth! I dealt with them by rubbing Kank-Aid (available at Wal-mart) all over the inside of my mouth (to numb it), then I rubbed Quantum Lip Clear Lysine+ Cold Sore Cream directly on them inside my mouth. They cleared up remarkably fast. I found this lysine cream on Ebay (Walmart didn't have it). It has Lysine, Goldenseal & other "goodies" in it. So, there you have my "lecture" about canker sores.KimGot Down Syndromewww.gotdownsyndrome.net~ Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!www.atruechurch.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi Janie, We call them mouth ulcers which come and go with JA. Get some Oragel to numb up the spots and she should eat better. Salty foods make it burn. will use Oragel or Oragel Canker. During the time she has them but stays away from Salty foods. They just come and go with JA kid's. I would call the Dentist and ask if there's anything else which would help. Robbin **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I personally don't know what the cause is, but my daughter who does not have JA gets them all the time. The doctor ordered magic mouth wash. It has benadryl, lidocaine, and maalox. They can swish and swallow or swish and spit. It numbs it up long enough for her to eat. The doc said she could use it every 2 hours. Seems to help. (, 5 pauci) On Oct 2, 2008, at 5:40 PM, cjcline2 wrote: > Has anyone else had trouble with canker sores in their mouth and > throat?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Mouth sores inside the mouth can be caused by Methotrexate. If Makayla is taking that then she should be taking folic acid to help with the sores. It may just take increasing the folic acid dose to get rid of them. & Grant (11, PsA/Uveitis) > > Has anyone else had trouble with canker sores in their mouth and > throat?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi, Not sure what meds your child is taking, but many have the side effect of canker sores. We have gotten them from metho. We upped our intake of folate and problem resolved immediately. Hope this helps! Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 As others said, could be the MTX if she is on it. She should be on folic acid to help counter act the side effects, mouth sores being one. Chris used Listerine as well to help if he did develop any. It really worked for him, to keep the mouth comfortable and the mouth sours at bay.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 , I got canker sores all of the time. Since I have been on the diet and taking probiotics, I don't get them. I found that swishing warm/hot salt water in my mouth made them go away. Also swishing hydrogen peroxide too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sooner than one heals another appears. Has anyone else had a problem with canker sores? … Can this be a sign that my immune system is getting weaker? --------------- , I can’t say for sure, but it seems reasonable that the continuing sores might be a result of a somewhat weakened immune system. By definition, all CLLers have weakened immune systems. I get the sores, like cold sores, when stressed or when fighting off other infections. You might try taking B vitamins during this time – specifically niacinamide and pantothenic acid – and see whether that helps. It seems to have helped me in the past.
