Somewhere around 6 months ago or so, I was contacted by Robin Barr, the creator of Canker Sores Begone, who told me of a new product she was working on and asked if I’d like to try it.
Stainless Steel Soap Dispenser Commercial Brochure. Truly the 'ONLY' Indestructible soap dispenser on the market. Facilities managers can't live without these soap dispensers. Learn more at VandalProof.org
I honestly don’t know how one would even apply it there unless you were hanging upside down. I’d highly suggest to the Canker-Rid people that they include an applicator of some type like Kanka or consider a solution that makes it more gel-like so you can apply it with a Q-Tip. As it stands right now, applying it from a Q-Tip does nothing because it soaks into the cotton and doesn’t coat the ulcer.
I live in the U.S., and along with that, I can only use mouth ulcer medicine that’s available in the U.S. But, it turns out that I am also a bit of a mouth ulcer medicine researcher, so in my research, I have learned about canker sore medicines that are not available in the U.S., but in many cases, are very popular overseas (and in other cases, are available without a prescription, unlike here).
There’s no shortage of products out there to help out the canker sore sufferer (even if there is a dearth of canker sore blogs). But some work better than others, and some are right for different kinds of breakouts. Here are my top 5:

In my 35 years of having canker sores, I’ve tried just about everything to relieve the pain and reduce the number. All of which I’ll be discussing on the blog, but there are a lot of ideas out there that I haven’t tried, and part of keeping my journal and this blog is all about finding what works and doesn’t work. So I’ll give them all a try and let you know how they work for me. Consider me the “Consumer Reports” of ulcers.
Along with being a lifelong connoisseur of RAS, I also have the pleasure of being wrapped in a layer of skin that does not respond favorably to the sun. That’s a more eloquent way of saying that I’m a lily-assed white guy.
As I look around the internet for blogs, articles, and whatnot about this subject, I keep running into treatments. A plethora of seemingly crazy things to do to minimize the pain of these ulcers and keep them from forming.
I may be the perfect person to be writing this blog and doing this project because I get canker sores on such a regular basis. Some people are lucky enough to only get them every once in a while, I’ve had them pretty much constantly throughout my life. So when it comes to experimenting and testing different products and treatments, I don’t have to wait for months to move to a new one and get results. I can go directly from one to another.
It’s funny the things you run across when doing research. I ran across a document from the Journal of the American Dental Association that actually says that smoking can actually help stop canker sores:
Yes, orange juice makes me break out in canker sores like a 15 year old kid’s face the night before a prom. So I’ve learned in order to avoid extreme pain, I have to do something… that causes extreme pain.
The directions for Debacterol suggested applying it at the first sign of an ulcer. I chose to ignore that the first time I used it because any medicine worth a darn will work better when the ulcer first gets started. So when I had a spot start up on my tongue, I let it grow for a couple of days before I gave it a try.
Your digestion shuts down. Higher level brain functions shut down. All kinds of hormonal and regulatory functions grind to a halt so your body can put every ounce of its energy toward the single important issue at hand – surviving an attack. And included in those hormonal and regulatory functions is the immune system.
a canker sore remedy from this very substance that promises to get rid of your canker sores quickly and relieve the pain. They even offer a money-back guarantee!
I’ve been saying it over and over on this website. It’s practically my personal mantra at this point. In fact, if there was one single myth I want to bust more than any other with this website, it’s this one.
Get more Comport and Less Swelling with Kenalogclairewilson001
I generally use TA (as I call it, for obvious reasons) at night when I go to bed. I find that the inflammation is significantly less the next morning, whereas it seems to be worse without any medicine. The swelling does eventually come back through the next day with the regular irritation and the medicine wearing off. I’ve never used it throughout the day because it doesn’t stick to the ulcer as well as, say Orabase, and it being prescription and all, costs quite a bit more so I tend to be more economical and only use it at night.
5 Simple Things you can do Right now to have Fewer Canker Sores in 2012clairewilson001
So we’re a few weeks into 2012 and most of us are still holding on to the last vestiges of optimism that this year’s going to be better than last year. We’ve probably already broken a resolution or two, but that’s okay, because this year just has to be better, right?
Why Orabase May Be The Greatest Thing Ever Created For Canker Soresclairewilson001
In conclusion, I have to admit that there are other medicines that numb the pain more. Some that stick to the sore better, and some that heal it faster. But when it comes to the overall combination of ease and effectiveness of use, none quite reach your heights.
Vitamin b12 for canker sores – almost too good to be trueclairewilson001
Which should frankly come as no surprise. Many studies over the years have confirmed B12’s effect on canker sores, the most recent of which came from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel in 2009. In that doubleblind study, 74% of participants had a complete remission of canker sores after 6 months.
If you or your partner have a single canker sore, or multiple canker sores in different parts of your mouth, kiss away. You’re not going to give it to someone else or catch it. If what you have appears on your lips in clusters of blisters – you might want to just hold hands for a few days. And see your doctor. There are some medicines you can take to reduce the symptoms and make them go away faster.
So is there a connection between gluten and canker sores? I stumbled onto a great little video from Dr. Vikki Petersen where she discusses the link between gluten and canker sores, as well as makes some other great points I’ll comment on after the jump.
Many medical authorities and knowledgeable websites have recognized amongst the other canker sores causes that the bacteria helicobacter pylori could also be to blame.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
3. Somewhere around 6 months
ago or so, I was contacted by
Robin Barr, the creator of Canker
Sores Begone, who told me of a
new product she was working on
and asked if I’d like to try it.
4. Now, some people write
automotive blogs and get to test
drive the newest and baddest
muscle cars before they come on
the market.
5. Some people blog about tech
gadgets and get to play with the
newest toys before they even get
revealed at CES.
6. Me… I get a front row seat for
new mouth goop.
Hey… I’m totally fine with that.
7. As someone who’s gotten
canker sores my entire life, I’m
always up for trying something
new, and with the track record
that Canker Sores Begone has
built over the years, I was
frankly honored that Robin
would include me in her testing.
8. So what is this new product?
It’s a stick.
And from the looks of things,
it’s taking over the Canker
Sores Begone mantle, as it says
on the website that the Canker
Sore Liquid Drops are no longer
available.
9.
10. How does it work?
Think of it like Chap Stick for
your ulcer. Make sure and dry
your ulcer with a cotton swab
or tissue, then rub over the
surface of it with the Canker
Sores Begone Stick. And Voila,
that’s it.
11. While I can’t claim that it’s
made the length of my ulcers
any shorter (though many
people claim it does), I can say
that it doesn’t sting at all and
gently coats the ulcer while it
cools it with a rather tasty
minty flavor.
12. Seriously, if you hate the
medicine taste you get from
most mouth ulcer medications,
this is your jam. It’s like the
Altoids of ulcer medicine.
13. It lasts up to 30 minutes or an hour
depending on where it is and what’s
going on in your mouth, enough to
get you through a meal or to chill it
out afterward.
14. I can definitely recommend the
new Canker Sores Begone
Stick to anybody who wants a
quick, convenient, and all-
natural way to treat the pain
and discomfort of canker sores.
15. Quick disclaimer: Robin used
some of my feedback in a quote
on the back of the packaging –
which I think is pretty cool.
