As promised in my December 5th post (http://adayinthelifeoffibro.blogspot.com/2010/12/l-lysine-for-canker-sores.html) I am following up with my continued successful results with L-Lysine!
I have not had any mouth sores or canker sores since Thanksgiving, and after having suffered a continuous onslaught of canker and mouth sores for over a year, to me this is such relief, and a miracle! I even indulged in some trigger foods over Christmas, but was able to double up on the Lysine in anticipation and never developed the sores like I did before.
I also think that adding the Lysine and Vitamin C has been just an overall good boost to my immune system, as some really nasty sickness has been going around at work and I am one of the few in my department who remain unscathed by this horrible flu-like illness.
My next true test will be when I visit the dentist in February, I plan on doubling up on the Lysine a few days before to see if it helps the burning mouth syndrome from coming on full force after the dentist knocks around in my mouth. Keeping my fingers crossed!
For a REALLY GOOD EXPLANATION and reference to the benefits of L-Lysine, research done on it, and how and why it works see the chapter on L-Lysine in Jonny Bowden's book "Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why" --- EXCELLENT!
