"CANKER SORES Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are painful, persistent, and annoying sores on or under the tongue, on the soft palate, on the inside of the cheeks or lips, or at the base of the gums. The sores can range from the size of a pinhead to the size of a quarter, but they are not contagious. Canker sores are different from fever blisters or cold sores, which are caused by the herpes virus and are contagious. Fever blisters are usually found on the outside of the lips or on the corners of the mouth." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

Recurrent canker sores {aphthous stomatitis is the medical term) are a common condition that affects about 20 percent of the U.S. population.

"Decubitus ulcers, also called bedsores, pressure sores, or pressure ulcers, develop when sustained pressure, usually from a bed or wheelchair, cuts off blood circulation to a particular area. Without adequate blood flow, the affected tissue dies. Bedsores are most commonly found on the hips, shoulder blades, buttocks, sacrum, and heels of comatose patients, the bedridden, and paraplegic patients. The best way to prevent bedsores is to turn or move patients regularly and ensure that their skin is clean." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

Honey should not be fed to infants less than one year of age because they lack the ability to kill botulism spores that lie within.

"Oral aphthous stomatitis ("fever sores" or "canker sores"), which can appear on the cheeks, tongue, gums, and lips, usually correlates with histologic changes in the small intestine. However, because aphthous ulcers are also seen with common viral infections (such as herpes viruses) and other types of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (in particular Crohn's disease), they are not pathognomonic for celiac disease. 3.

"Seven bowls are poured out: ugly and painful sores, lifeless seas, the shedding of blood, scorching by the sun, darkness, deserts, and an earthquake like none known before. Again, it is easy to see how these predictions appear to be coming true today. Then comes the appearance of the Antichrist. He, says St. John, is the secular savior, who offers the hope of peace by claiming to be able to resolve the problems of the world. Not recognizing him for what he is, people rally to his call and his influence spreads into all nations. The Antichrist's promises are, however, empty." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Crohn's can affect you anywhere, from the mouth through the anus, and usually causes sores along the length of the small and large intestines. Ulcerative colitis always begins in the rectum, extends for a bit, and then stops. There's a clear "line of demarcation" between the tissue that is affected and the tissue that's not. It's characteristic of ulcerative colitis that usually just the mucosa and submucosa are involved, whereas in Crohn's all layers of the bowel are involved. Crohn's has "skip spaces"— that is, unaffected areas interspersed between involved areas." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"A doctor can actually culture active herpes simplex virus from one of these sores. As you might imagine, researchers are interested in which factors make some people susceptible to repeat infections. The major factor is immune dysregulation, which can result from a number of causes. Stress is high among them; it makes the body act as if the immune system were working on only two cylinders. With the system compromised, the virus can become active again, and the patient may experience a new cold sore." - Benjamin H.

"Cold sores. Boiron's Cold Sore Care Kit contains three bottles, each with a different remedy: Rhus Toxicodendron for skin and mucous membrane irritation (also good for joint pain); Apis Mellifica; and Mezereum (treats dermatitis, as well as nasal congestion).

Do probiotics have any beneficial effects in treating ulcers? Animal research has found that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG can help stomach ulcers to heal. A daily dosage of 108 CFU of L. rhamnosus GG for three days after an ulcer has formed can speed the rate at which the ulcer heals. L. rhamnosus GG is capable of living in the stomach, particularly in areas where ulcers occur. Research suggests that L." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Charles Dickens, Little Dorrit, 1855 If your lower lip is puffy and has reddish or white crusty spots or sores on it, you may have actinic cheilosis, a progressive erosion caused by sun damage. This condition usually occurs after age 50 and is more common in men than women. Unfortunately, the damage to your lip is permanent. As with most sun-related skin problems, people with fair skin are at particular risk. Actinic cheilosis is usually a precancerous condition, although it may be an early warning sign that you already have skin cancer on your lower lip." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.
