Question:
Anyone have trouble with Canker Sores? I get them all over my
mouth. In the last couple of yrs I have been getting them on the back of my
throat which makes it difficult to eat or swallow without a great deal of pain.
What are some of the better treatments for them?
Answer:
The top three causes of pathological death in the United States are heart
disease, cancer and complications from prescription medication, so any time
you can find an effective alternative to drugs, especially a NATURAL
alternative, by all means do yourself a favor and try it first.
For a natural approach to canker sores, try the amino acid lysine. Amino
acids are the building blocks of proteins, which makes up the bulk of your
muscles and tissues. Regardless of the root cause (usually a virus such as
herpes), a canker sore is simply damaged tissue, and the lysine allows your
body to rebuild it, and quickly. This healing also helps make your body more
resistant to the virus and to future outbreaks by strengthening the tissue
itself as well as giving your immune system a break in order to recharge and
fight such an infection more effectively.
