Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hi everyone! I have joined this list for two reasons, first I have always been interested in holistic approaches to health. And second, because at the current moment, my husband is in a lot of pain due to a cancre sore in his mouth. It seemed like the perfect time to join a list and get help for him and to be able to learn more about the holistic remedies that I have always been intrigued by. My husbands problem started when he was put on an antibiotic for an infection in his leg by the doctor. The antibiotic caused a horrible cancre sore at the back of the top palate of his mouth. It is very painful and makes eating very difficult. Does anyone have a holistic remedy to make this cancre sore heal quicker? He is no longer on the antibiotic. Thanks for any help and I look forward to learning from this list. Cheryl Reed www.anewstartonlife.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hi Cheryl! Since your husband has been on antibiotics, you may wish to consider whether this has contributed to the sore by possibly providing opportunity for a yeast (thrush?) to cause problems. A fungal infection in the mouth can be very painful, surprisingly! There are a number of medications, like nystatin drops, which can be applied directly, and antifungals which are taken as pills for systemic treatment. WATCH his DIET!!! Get him off sugar immediately! It contributes to the problem further. There are natural remedies, which some people have found a degree of success with (like tea tree oil, oragano oil). My sense is that you need faster help, so a prescription may be what you'll prefer. Holistic self-care can be implemented as well. Get some expert advice, and see if your husband needs an immune-boost ( excells here!), and a good restorative diet plan, including cleaning out/restoring healthy intestinal flora (yeast just love to live in the gut, causing many problems).
