STOP PAIN - SPEED HEALING - CANKER SORE REMEDY
Fifty-six million Americans suffer from canker sores. They're painful, nasty, and difficult to eliminate. Most canker sore products provide pain relief, but do not help heal the sores. The healthful, natural nutrients in Canker Care+ do both. Canker Care + is a soothing liquid that forms a protective gel on the canker sore. The soft applicator brush is gentle on even the most sensitive canker sores.
About Canker Sores
Canker sores are shallow, painful sores on the inside of the lips, the inside of the cheeks, or on the gums. They begin as small, reddish swellings. Then they burst, and the ruptured sores are covered with a white or yellow membrane. The edges of the sores are still red, and look like a painful red halo. Without a canker sore remedy, canker sores (medically: aphthous ulcers) heal in 2 to 3 weeks. Canker sores are most prevalent among teenagers and people in their twenties. Nobody knows for sure what causes canker sores, although Vitamin B12 deficiency, Iron deficiency and food allergies are all suspected.
What Are Canker Sores?
Canker sores are shallow, painful sores on the inside of the lips, the inside of the cheeks, or on the gums. They begin as small, reddish swellings.

Without treatment, canker sores (medically: aphthous ulcers) heal in 2 to 3 weeks.
Who Gets Canker Sores
Anyone can get canker sores, but they are most common among teenagers and those in their twenties. Women are slightly more likely to get canker sores than men. Some people have one or two episodes a year; others have almost continual problems.
What Causes Canker Sores
According to leading expert Brad Rodu, D.D.S. of the University of Alabama School of Medicine - we don't know. "Researchers have looked for the reasons that mouth ulcers develop in the first place," says Dr. Rodu. "Nobody has been able to get a handle on them."
There is some evidence about causes though. One study done in England showed that in about 20% of canker sore patients, the sores were due in part to nutritional deficiencies - lack of B12 (common in vegetarians), folic acid and iron. Gastrointestinal problems appear to be correlated with canker sores as well.The sores appear during times of stress, or as a reaction to hormonal imbalances in women. Pregnancy often causes remission. A tendency to get canker sores may be inherited.
Traditional Prevention And Treatment
Patients who have frequent canker sores can try dietary supplements, or undergo blood and allergy tests to see if these tests can determine a cause.
There are several treatments for reducing both the pain and the duration of the sores - anti-inflammatory steroid mouthwashes, analgesics, and numbing ointments containing benzocaine. Certain foods should be avoided, if for no other reason than that eating them is painful. Citrus fruits may exacerbate the sores. According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, eating yogurt with active lactobacillus cultures may prevent outbreaks.
New Topical Treatments
There's good news - and lots of it - about new treatments for canker sores. And much of the excitement is being generated by research on safe and natural herbs, amino acids and other natural substances. In one study, deglycyrrhizinated licorice was applied topically on 20 canker sore patients. Within one day, the patients showed a 50%-75% improvement, and within three days all of them were symptom-free.(J Assoc Physicians India. 1989 Oct;37(10):647.) Although some licorice products can be contraindicated for those with high blood pressure, deglycyrrhizinated licorice has shown no tendency to raise blood pressure.
