[Jamillah]

I wish I could figure out what MJ's canker sore remedy is. I have scoured everywhere for something that works. They can be some painful little suckers!

I think I became immune to cancer sores, is that even possible? idk. Anyways used to get them all the time, now I never do.

 

[Jamillah]

It's a weekly occurrence for me. I bite my lip, and I can feel it coming. I wish I was immune. No fair

 

[The-J]

I've been wondering this too!

I don't know if I'd honestly pay for a pill that prevented them. They are not so much of a problem. They rarely impede my eating.

If you know that you get them weekly, incorporate a Hydrogen Peroxide and water mix into your brushing/rinsing regimen. Plus, you get the added effect of teeth whitening. As a matter of fact, i too used to get sores until i started with the H2O2. Now I don't get them at all and have replaced the typical mouthwash (dentist recommended) and my teeth are definitely whiter.

 

[Vigilante]

put a pinch of baking soda directly on to it. It hurts like a m'f' for a few minutes, but kind of burns it off and seals it.

 

[Jamillah]

I'm going to test both of those remedies. I have tried using clove oil to somewhat numb the area, but it doesn't eliminate it. Oh well, I will keep on trying and testing.

Email me mj == at == fastlaneentrepreneurs.com and Ill tell you what I do/use.

 

[Jamillah]

Wooohooo, I'll do that now, I can't wait to try it. I won't tell anyone, promise

 

[Amail]

I used to use Merthiolate and Mercurichrome back when they were available at the drugstore. Stung like a bitch, but it sure healed them up quick!

I'm sure I've got some kind of deadly heavy metal poisoning from it, but I think it's worth it. I hate canker sores.

I've never had a cold sore, and this thread makes me feel grateful for that.

 

[Jamillah]

Wow, that's a major concoction.

You have dodged a larger bullet than you probably realize. From wiki:

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) affected 57.7% of Americans tested in a 1999-2004 study.[2] By age 50, 80%–90% of adults have the virus.

Ask your local pharmacist or dentist for Magic Mouthwash.

Magic Mouthwash Prescription Recipes and Formulas, by Dr. Randall Otterholt
Magic Mouthwash
Prescription Rx Recipes and Formulas

There is no standard formula for Magic Mouthwash. It's like trying to find the "best" meatloaf recipe; you will find many!

When the pharmacy gets a prescription for Magic Mouthwash, the pharmacist makes each one ("compounds") according to the prescribing physician's instructions or recipe.

Even many health care providers know about Magic Mouthwash, but assume there is ONE formulation and don't know the exact ingredients or proportions. When a prescription for Magic Mouthwash is given to a patient, it must contain specific ingredients, amounts, and patient instructions, so the pharmacist knows which one to make.

Here are some of the more common adult formulations.

******************************************************************

All that said, many canker sores are caused by breeches in the skin where bacteria get in. Solution? Rinse with Listerine to keep bacteria levels in check.

My son used to get them often. We removed toothpaste and other products containing sodium lauryl sulfate as well as daily mouth rinses with Listerine. Hardly gets them anymore and if he does, it's because he slacked on his mouth care routine.

Thanks for all the tips!

Didn't help me. I used peroxide for about two years. Remind me to go to the store and get another bottle.

What it DID do was whiten my teeth.

I tried this remedy and unfortunately it did not work for me

 

[Rawr]

Try taking Lysine pills... they help with cold sores and in general for immune system boosting.

 

[whiteeclipse]

I think main reason for canker sores is based on your immune system, if you have a low immune system then you will higher chance of getting canker sores. I would get canker sores every year but for the past three years I added more veggies to my diet and I haven't received an canker score since. I make a green smoothie in the morning with almond milk, banana and kale and when I make scrambled eggs I add spinach to them now.

There's some wrong info in this thread. Lysene is usually for cold sores, which are a completely different problem. Cold sores are caused by a variant of the herpes virus (generally not the same strain as genital herpes). Canker sores do not seem to be caused by any virus or bacteria that can be identified. No one is 100% sure what causes them, but they are usually accompanied by a high level of T cells that attack the area.

In other words, canker sores are caused by your own immune system attacking your mouth.

Topical steroids like cortisol are mentioned on wikipedia as a treatment, I might try that.

MJ- c'mon man give us the secret formula!

This reminds me of when someone told me they used to use hemorrhoid creme for wrinkles around the eyes. And this person thinks this is what women still use but they just put a different label on it. lol

I just remember using a tube of blistex creme for canker sores when I was in my twenties. I don't know if they make it anymore. It worked well for me.

 

[akbigdog]

MJ, did you ever market this product? Is there an e-commerce site online anywhere? Curious to see what you did with it, if anything.
