A canker sore is a common form of mouth ulcer, which appears as a painful white or yellow ulcer surrounded by a bright red area. They usually appear on the inner surface of the cheeks and lips, tongue, soft palate, and the base of the gums.
Canker sores may also occur at the site of a bite when the tongue or cheek is bitten. They can be triggered by
emotional stress, dietary deficiencies (especially iron, folic acid, or vitamin B12), menstrual periods, hormonal
changes, food allergies, and similar situations.
They usually begin with a tingling or burning sensation, followed by a red spot or bump that ulcerates which lead to excruciating pain and discomfort.
Pain decreases in 7 to 10 days, with complete healing in 1 to 3 weeks. Particularly large ulcers (greater than 1 cm in diameter) often take longer to heal (2 to 4 weeks).
Occasionally, a severe occurrence may be accompanied by nonspecific symptoms of illness, such as fever or malaise.
Women are twice as likely to have canker sores as men. People whose parents have canker sores have a 90% chance of developing them early in life.
Canker sores often come back again and again in the future, that is why those who experience frequent recurrence of canker sores live in anxiety, waiting and fear for the onset of the next tingling signals from within the mouth.
Unfortunately, doctors don't know of anything that prevents canker sores from forming. They may occur with no identifiable cause.
However, it has been observed that canker sores occur most commonly with viral infections.
While antibiotics can kill bacteria, there is no cure for viruses other than specific vaccination. Unlike smallpox and other extremely dangerous diseases, not much effort has been put into the canker sore research.
However, we know that in a viral infection, which almost always occur during canker sore, viruses invade our body's cells and use them to grow and multiply.
If we remove the infected cell, the virus will lose its host, thus starved to death.
Because virus is extremely small, any change in host property will affect it tremendously, therefore single virus will die almost instantly due to change of property in its host - and if the host can no longer act as a food source, the cluster of viruses in the cell will simply die off.
On the other hand, cells live off glucose, which is produced by the food we eat. If we prevent the glucose from entering the cell, the cell will starve to death. Again, if the infected cells die, all the viruses living off them also perish.
Naturally derived P-2DGTM(Patent Pending) is an structure analog to glucose. However, being not a real glucose, when the infected cells get P-2DG, they would simply die off, along with them, the viruses that parasites off them.
Because CankerAid is applied directly to the sore, a huge amount of P-2DG is fed to the infected cells, causing rapid change in the property of the cells almost in an instant. Within 12 hours from application, all affected cells shall stop functioning, depriving food supply to the viruses, killing them at the same time.
A new generation of healthy cells will then grow, replacing the old ones, returning to you a healthy smile.
