Leukoplakia Remedies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucoplakia
"Leukoplakia is adherent white plaques or patches on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, including the tongue. The clinical appearance is highly variable. Leukoplakia is not a specific disease entity, but is diagnosis of exclusion. [1] It must be distinguished from diseases that may cause similar white lesions, such as candidiasis or lichen planus.
It is sometimes described as precancerous. [2]
The term "candidal leukoplakia" is sometimes used to describe certain types of oral candidosis."

11/07/2009: Alice from Shingle Springs, Ca, U.S.A. replies: "Hello! I know that black pepper, garlic oil and cinnamon are anti-fungal since I used that mix for peach leaf curl on my trees. Maybe gargling and swallowing a tea of these would help. My sore mouth was relieved by safflower blossom tea, but you could also add nettle and turmeric/black pepper and/or ginger as they are good for inflammatory conditions."
