Canker Cure is a treatment for canker sores inside the mouth. A canker sore has a small white area surrounded by a red inflamed area. The white area is usually the size of a pencil eraser or smaller. That small sore can be very painful. Without treatment, canker sores typically last ten days to two weeks. When used as directed, Canker Cure usually eliminates most of the pain within 2-3 days or less and often eliminates the entire sore within 3 days.* When using Canker Cure it is important to get at least eight hours of sleep each night.

Q. How is Canker Cure different from other treatments?
A. Other treatments are topical, which means they are applied directly to the sore. They usually have an anesthetic to dull the pain. Some of them also form a cover over the sore to protect it from irritants. The Canker Cure pill is a systemic treatment, which means it has ingredients that travel through the bloodstream to actually treat the cause of the sore.

Q. How does Canker Cure work?
A. A canker sore is caused when the lining of the mouth breaks down and cannot repair itself after an injury, such as when a sharp tooth scratches the tongue or when a sharp granule of salt scratches the roof of the mouth. Canker Cure contains micronutrients which are used to rebuild the mouth's lining.

Q. Why is it necessary to get eight hours of sleep while taking Canker Cure?
A. After taking Canker Cure, the ingredients enter the bloodstream and are transported to the mouth where they begin rebuilding the mouth lining. The rebuilding mainly occurs during sleep, although it also occurs to a lesser extent during waking hours.

Q. Can Canker Cure be used to treat Major Aphthous Ulcers?
A. (Note: Major Aphthous Ulcers are similar to canker sores except they are larger, about the size of a quarter.) Since these are much rarer than canker sores it is difficult to find enough people who have them for testing.  However, the limited testing we have done seems to indicate these sores have a different cause and different cure than canker sores. Thus, Canker Cure appears to not be helpful with these.

Q. Can Canker Cure be used to treat sores outside the mouth?
A. No. Sores outside the mouth, in the area of the lips, are usually cold sores which are caused by the Herpes virus, and require a different medicine. Our research has shown that if a sore forms on the lip it is usually a cold sore and needs to be treated with cold sore medicine, even though it may look like a canker sore.

Note: Rarely, a cluster of small, pinpoint-size blisters will form in the mouth, then run together to form a single sore. That is not a canker sore because canker sores do not start with a cluster of blisters. The sore is most likely a viral infection. A doctor can prescribe an antiviral medicine for that condition.

Q. What if a person is taking steroids?
A. It is recommended to not take Canker Cure immediately after using steroids. A person should wait at least 10 days after stopping the use of steroids before starting on Canker Cure. If the steroid has been used continuously long term, it may be necessary to wait a month or more before starting Canker Cure.

Q. Is Canker Cure effective against the mouth ulcers which may appear during chemotherapy, radiation treatment, or in AIDS patients?
A. No. Canker Cure is designed for people who have inherited the gene for canker sores. These other instances of mouth ulcers are not caused by this genetic factor.
