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 <

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). See also: Herpes

People can get genital herpes from giving/receiving oral sex from

someone with a cold sore.

Canker sores

This may seem like a silly question, but does anybody

have any advice as to the cause/treatment of canker

sores? I feel like my whole life I've been told it

was from eating too much salty or spicy foods, and

that very well could be true but I keep wondering if

there might be something else. My younger brother

gets them all the time, and I'd love to be able to

tell him something besides salt and spice, but if

that's all there is to it then that's fine. Luckily

he doesn't have any right now, and I have no idea what

put this topic on my mind this morning, but this way I

can have some info to tell him the next time he gets a

batch (which, for his sake, I hope won't be for a

while!). And are there any good macro remedies for

treating them once they have come?

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.

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!

Steph, I have no idea what causes these sores but my daughter gets them often. We have asked her doctors and dentist what could be causing these but have not got any answers. I wonder if it is due to a deficiency of some sort? Carlson <scarlson1@...> wrote: My daughters seem to get blisters in teh

[Guest guest]

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.

Hope this helps,

Caroline

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.

I get a lot of fever blisters and a Valtrex prescription knocks them right out. I assume it would work for canker sores too.

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

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.

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

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

[Guest guest]

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. Good

luck, Michele ( 21, spondy)

since August. Could it be her medicine causing this or is it the JA?

Thanks!

****The place to search for most things is on Bee's website (not this

group), her

articles are on her website. So, I typed in " canker sores " on her website and

came up with

this link for treatments:

Hope this helps,

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.

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.
