Melissa has been shown to speed healing of the lesions, especially when taken at the first signs of an outbreak --To be effective for fighting cold sores and other lesions caused by the herpes simplex virus, you need to use a cream-based product containing a concentrated extract of melissa. In Germany, the melissa cold sore cream/ointment is sold under the name Lomaherpan; in the United States it can be found under various names, such as Herpalieve and Herpilyn. For cold sores: Apply the cream three to four times a day. Cheers, JoAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Saw your post and thought I would reply. Tincture of Benzoin Compound (the compound is different than just the Tincture) dries them up quickly and makes a protective barrier to stop the pain. Have used it since I was a child. I believe they may be releated to Thrush which is Candida, a yeast. Colloidal Silver might work well too, it kills yeast and fungus. I use it with DMSO for fever blisters - they dry up immediately. 9 parts CS 10ppm with 1 part DMSO. You can buy DMSO for a vet, try a horse vet or a feed store. I even rinse my mouht with this for an abcessing tooth, no more pain! CS is available in many health food stores, but if you stick with it buy a generator and make it at home. wwwsilvergen.com has a good one that is automatic. I use CS for animals and people and it has paid for the generator in just two months. I put it in the dog and cats water every day. Cleared up a bad ear infection in my dog in less than a week. www.silvermedicine.org for info on CS www.dmso.org DMSO is non-toxic and is commonly used orally and IV as well as topically. It kills some microbes all by itself but when combined with other agents can be very effective. Garnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I thought I would put my two cents worth in. Nothing to do about canker sores, but you mentioned fungus. If any of you have experienced toenail fungus, Listerine works great. I had it for years, and didn't want to take the oral med, altho now the doctor tells me that there is something you just paint on. But I just used a cotton ball soaked in Listerine once in the morning and once at night and in about two weeks, it was cleared up.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hubby has allergies and gets canker sores from citrus, tomato, onion. The other reactions he has to these are more serious but the canker sores linger on. He puts powdered alum on them. It does hurt incredibly but helps. My daughter gets canker sores from anything acidic- usually citrus. Strawberries also cause them. We try to avoid but sometimes she makes a mistake when we are visiting. These things don't enter our house. Here is some info I had in my mailbox. Unfortunately I don't have a link to the original. From Dr. Weil: Tea tree oil can be used for infections and sores on mucous membranes, such as canker sores. It's a good gargle for sore throats. ---- (source??) Squeeze on Vitamin E If, despite your best efforts, a canker sore puts in a bothersome appearance anyway, a little vitamin E may be just what the doctor ordered. Only this time, suggests Dr. Zunka, instead of tossing back a vitamin E supplement or boning up on vitamin E-rich foods, crack open a vitamin E capsule and slather the oil directly on the sore for immediate pain relief. Take a Multi for Your Mouth If you find that your canker sores have become more like intrusive weekend guests than occasional party crashers, you may need more than just a boost of vitamin C. According to research, you may have any of a number of different nutrient deficiencies. Although research is inconclusive, several studies have linked deficiencies of folate, iron and vitamin B12 to recurrent canker sores, and some doctors believe that upping your intake of these nutrients might be beneficial for prevention. Your best bet, say oral health experts, is to cover all of your bases by taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement that includes the Daily Values of these nutrients. Vitamin C for Relief Though studies have not yet been done to prove their effectiveness, vitamin C supplements get their share of kudos. Oral health experts tout this vitamin as an effective means of preventing canker sores. " Actually, it works against cold sores and canker sores, " says Craig Zunka, D.D.S., past president of the Holistic Dental Association and a dentist in Front Royal, Virginia. " But since you can't feel a canker sore coming on, you have to take vitamin C every day instead of just at the onset of an outbreak, the way you can with cold sores. " For optimum prevention, many experts recommend taking 500 milligrams a day, every day, especially for people who are under a lot of stress or who smoke. To treat a new sore, take 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C right away, then follow up with 500 milligrams three times a day until the sore has cleared up, says Dr. Zunka. (Some people may experience diarrhea when taking more than 1,200 milligrams of vitamin C a day.) " Just be sure you take vitamin C with bioflavonoids, " notes Dr. Zunka, " because plain vitamin C will not work as well. " Bioflavonoids are chemical compounds closely linked to vitamin C. Although oranges and grapefruit are excellent sources of both vitamin C and bioflavonoids, too much citrus can backfire and trigger canker sore outbreaks in people prone to these pesky lesions. So oral health experts say that supplementation is your best bet if you are prone to them. FOODS You already know about certain foods from experience. That salty, sharp-edged potato chip, for example, is sure to hurt when it bumps up against a canker sore. And you wouldn't think of giving it that opportunity. But do you know that some foods can actually trigger a new sore? Here's what oral health experts recommend eating (or not eating). Avoid citrus. Acidic foods such as tomatoes and citrus fruits can both aggravate an existing sore and stimulate an outbreak, according to research gathered by the American Academy of Otolaryngology Neck and Head Surgery. If you're prone to canker sores, go easy on things such as grapefruit and lemonade. Eat more yogurt. Eating yogurt each day keeps canker sores away, says Julian Whitaker, M.D., founder and president of the Whitaker Wellness Center in Newport Beach, California. If you're prone to canker sores, he recommends eating at least four tablespoons of yogurt daily to prevent outbreaks. To heal an outbreak, he recommends eating at least one eight-ounce container a day. To work, Dr. Whitaker says, the yogurt must contain active Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures. (If the yogurt contains these cultures, it will say so on the label.) --- This came from a MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse) list: Supplements that may help gum disease are: Co-enzyme Q-10, Vit. C, Bioflavonoids,Myrrh (herb tincture, good for gums), Vit. A and beta-carotene, garlic, anti infectives like Echinacea or Olive Leaf taken 3 weeks on and one week off. If you experience canker sores in your mouth, try cutting out refined sugar, high quantities of citrus, and don't abrade your gums while brushing or eating foods that can cut the oral cavity. Eat yogurt or better yet, take an acidipholous supplement. Oral herpes/fever blisters are viruses that live (your entire lifetime once you catch it) in the ends of your nerves near yourmouth. Under stress they pop out - they are contagious even a week after they crustover. Try a daily supplement of L-lysine - an amino acid to keep it in check,along with other immune building (echinacea, St John's Wort is anti viral aswell as antidepressive) and stress fighting supplements, like B-complex and C. --- A toothpaste which claims to prevent canker sores: http://www.rembrandt.com/specials/tv.htm Kadee ____________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
