Dear Jeff: In the case of mouth sores, this possibly came from a simple sea salt as certain microbes are killed, releasing toxins, and the body has been able to detoxify or rid off. The best way is to reduce the toxins. I suspect certain microbes were responsible for the swollen legs through its actions blocking normal organ functions.
Often the organs is usually the kidney. However other organs can release the toxins, such as the liver. When stored long enough, it releases the toxins. Sometimes as the legs reduce their swollen issue, the toxins in the leg area needs to be further detoxified as the body empties the liquid.
In this case, it is best to detoxify the body and temporarily discontinue the antibiotic effect of the sea salt and instead take the baking soda and apple cider vinegar remedy.
Apple Vinegar have a detoxifying effect. Hydrogen peroxide drops such as 3% hydrogen peroxide 3-12 drops in a glass of water should be able to neutralize the toxins also, often taken 3 times a day. Sodium ascorbate vitamin C and vitamin E also have detoxifying effect whenever the body is low on antioxidants. I have found whenever hot weather happens, the magnesium citrate, potassium bicarbonate, vitamin C, and vitamin B are also low too. The reason why they are low is quite simple: they are often water soluble and and it is lost through the sweat glands. A reasonable dose of vitamin C sodium ascorbate is 500 mg/day twice a day.

I have been reading up on edema and its causes, without long explainations, acetates and chlorides seems to assist in edemas. One example is a woman who had so much edema her stomach bloated like a pregnant woman, in which case 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken 2 times a day at least will help the edema. I suspect adding a small amount of sea salt helps too. Tartrates, tartaric acid, tend to cause edema by creating a chloride retention, as oppose to sodium retention per se. Try to avoid fruit juices high in citrates whenever edema is present.
