APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  05/03/2007: Kelisha from Greensboro, NC writes: "I had a terrible canker sore and used so many over the counter medicines. I found this article and tried the vinegar. It DOES work."

[YEA]  05/01/2007: Ashley from Easton, PA writes: "i am 15yrs old and i have about 5 canker sores in my mouth.(a resonse to nay:i don't smoke.) after putting some ACV in my mouth it did help a little, but it hurt! thanks!!!"

[YEA]  04/20/2007: Joan from Bishops Stortford, Herts, U.K writes: "To Maria Bristol UK. I buy Organic ACV in Tesco."

[YEA]  03/31/2007: Todd from Long Beach, CA writes: "I've been suffering from a tough and very painful sore for over a week. It made me irritable because I couldn't eat, sleep, talk or even smile. I tried Hydrogen Peroxide, Zilactin-B (made it worst to me), wet tea bag to no avail. What worked? Holding my head to let a tablespoon of ACV sit on the sore for about 30 seconds, spit then repeat. The healing began immediately. It is amazing and I'm a happy person again!"

[YEA]  03/10/2007: Devon from Sandy, UT writes: "I'm a big believer! I couldn't sleep one night because the pain of the canker sore was just too much! So...I got online and sure enough found another reason why apple cider vinegar is so awesome! I used a Q-tip to dab some of the ACV onto the sore spot and then went back to bed. By morning...VIOLA! The pain was gone. I could see that the sore was still there but that the healing process had already begun. AWESOME! I will be recommending this site to everyone! Thanks EARTHCLINIC!"

[YEA]  01/26/2007: Richard from St Louis, MO writes: "I used the cider vinegar, and it worked! It tasted and burned really bad, but literally took 2 seconds to stop hurting! .....P.S. Don't listen to any nays, it works great! to answer that one dude's question, i don't smoke anything."

[YEA]  01/22/2007: Maria from Bristol, England writes: "I tried ACV several times on the ulcers I get very often in my mouth and it never fails. It is amazing. However, I would like to know where I can find the raw organic ACV in the UK. Does anyone know?"

[NAY]  09/05/2006: Philip from Mt. Horeb, WI writes: "I don't know what you people are smoking, but Apple Cider Vinegar doesn't heal canker sores at all, it hurts to use it at first and the relief is only temporary. I actually started to get more Canker Sores from using it. Why do you think an acid is going to help when eating acidic foods is one of the causes?"

[YEA]  08/27/2006: Jessica from Anchorage, AK writes: "A little different (and more appetizing) then apple cider vinegar, I've found that drinking warm apple cider completely takes away the pain from my canker sore for a good amount of time."

[YEA]  05/08/2006: Carol from Pittsburgh writes: "I have a canker on my tongue. It hurt soooo bad. I read this site to try the apple cider vinegar. I left for the store and came home and put the vinegar on a q-tip and put it on my sore. I can NOT believe that it made it feel better right away! The sore is still there (of course) but the pain has subsided considerably!!! AMAZING!"

[YEA]  Cathy from Canada writes: "I have suffered from chronic canker sores in my mouth for years. I am now taking apple cider vinegar along with using a toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulphate in it and I am canker sore free!"

[YEA]  Tony from Sarasota, FL writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with a 1/2 cup of warm water - swish around in your mouth for 30-60 seconds 2x a day and it will be gone quickly!"

[YEA]  Tara from Tampa, FL writes: "For the quickest relief of canker sores (don't know about cold sores), take a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and put in your mouth. Then push it to the side of the sore, or hold your head so the liquid sits on the sore. Keep it in your mouth for as long as you can stand it. Then spit it out and repeat once. You will have relief within a few minutes of doing this, and your mouth will feel clean and tingly. Don't eat anything for about 30 minutes afterward because this may affect the healing pH balance that the vinegar created. The irritation will be gone within the hour, and the damaged tissue will have begun to heal (you can feel it with your tongue!"

ASPIRIN

[YEA]  04/27/2008: Raphael from Boston, MA writes: "I have canker sore on cheek or tougue quite often, about once every 2 months. I try to avoid bread because I think this closest I can think of the relation. I tried 3 remedies that I saw here, ACV, Baking Soda and Aspirin. Aspirin is the super fast one to stop the pain and feel good right after the 1st application. What I do is split the aspirin in half and one half right at the canker. It will dissolve over time and pain is gone. I used this remedy 2 times and they both worked so I need top share with everybody. ACV & Banking Sode don't work for me. "

Could almost cry with happiness....Thanks all who submitted"

[YEA]  11/24/2007: Sandy from In the sticks, Nevada writes: "Thanks to the person that posted the aspirin remedy for canker sores. My son had a canker sore that was killing him, so he tucked an aspirin between the sore and his lip and just let it sit there for a few minutes. The pain went away and his sore healed up!"

[YEA]  10/27/2007: Madie from Tampa, fl writes: "the asprin works! its great! thank you thank you thank you!"

[YEA]  09/12/2007: Donna from Minneapolis, Minnesota writes: "Thank you, thank you, thank you Earth Clinic! I have been suffering for days with excruciating pain due to canker sores on my tongue. It hurt to much to eat or talk and was nearly debilitating me. I read both about the ACV and aspirin treatments, so I tried th ACV first, being such a big fan of its other benefits-- it hurt so bad I cried! And it only got worse over the next half hour, so desperately I tried the aspirin paste. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS TREATMENT! the pain started subsiding instantly and after about 15 min. I started crying again-- only this time for joy! Pain was totally gone! I was able to eat my first real bit of food in 3 days- and enjoy it! The only thing is the effect only lasted for about 2 hours, so the next day for speeds sake I just put a whole aspirin over the sore spot and let it dissolve- same wonderful effect as the paste. It totally removes pain for about 2 hours, but each time the pain comes back it's less then before, and there is obvious healing happening. I know someone said only do the treatment once a day, but I'm popping 1 aspirin every 2 hours to keep the pain at bay because I don't have time for pain. I figure it won't effect me negatively to take this much aspirin for a couple days until the sores heal. I can't thank you enough, Earth Clinic!"

[YEA]  09/04/2007: Wally (scorpionova2@yahoo.com) from Sterling, USA writes: "I have been getting canker sores for more than 17 years. I have tried everything, today I read about making Asprin paste with couple drops of water. I used right away and It worked. Thank you, Thank you and Thank you again"

[YEA]  09/02/2007: Monica from Santa Barbara, California writes: "This website is awsome! I get canker sores so easily and sometimes they are so painful I feel like I can't function. I didn't have any vinager so I tried the asprin thing and it worked so well. Its not nearly as painful and I only had the paste on for like 5 min. so I imagine leaving it on for 30 min. would nearly cure the sore."

[YEA]  08/22/2007: Rachel from Santa Barbara, CA writes: "Aspirin for canker sores: Works wonderfully. Just cut a pill of aspirin into two and apply directly to the sore. In just a little bit of time the sore will feel much better and will start to shrink in size. I've also heard of mixing the powder with water to make into a paste. Either way, good relief!"
