Canker Sores:

Approximately 93% of the population is affected by "canker sores" of some kind.

There is no known cure for canker sores at this point in time. The following are some suggestions to help you get through this time of healing:

1.   Good news: It's not cancer. It will heal by itself and not a terrible disease.

2.   It is generally caused by stress, trauma, or food. Try to identify what caused it if it returns again. Chances are it will.

3.    It will take about 10-20 full days to heal so be patient and take it easy.

4.   You can get some topical anaesthetic at the local drug store, benzocaine or something like it, over the counter.

5.   Take vitamin B6 and the amino acid supplement called L-Lysine.

Check with your Physician prior to beginning any supplement therapy. This will not cure your present problem. This will help as a preventative measure for the future.
