Canker Sores Vs Cold Sores – Dr. Berg on Mouth Sores

Dr. Berg differentiates between a canker sore versus a cold sore.

CANKER SORE
*Inside lip or mouth
*This is a vitamin deficiency (B12 or folate)
-this comes from consuming refined grains
-It could come from a digestive problem because you're not absorbing these B vitamins.

COLD SORE
*On the lip or around the mouth
*Virus (herpes simplex)
*Activated by stress
*Contagious
*Take lysine and vitamin C (make sure its a food complex)

I get canker sores frequently, when I went to do a blood test, my test came out that I was b12 deficiency, so this makes sense!

[TiMalice]

I developed a painful canker sore, watched this video then took2 B12 lozenges. In the morning, the pain was gone and it was healing. Thanks Dr Berg! 😘

[AlchemicalForge]

had a cold sore once. i rubbed a cut clove of garlic all over it until it basically burned so badly and then put tea tree oil on it and have never had another one again.

DR. BERG. CHANGING LIVES. ENGLISH NEEDS A STRONGER WORD THAN THANK YOU.

Hi Dr Berg, I live in Australia and have started eating Keto after viewing your Youtube channel and not only am I losing weight, my foggy brain is clearer! which is so great as I am 58 and was getting concerned as after working in aged Care I do NOT want Alzheimers as I age. I take a few Tblsns in a day of organic raw Coconut oil . I really enjoy learning from you and I want to encourage you and your lovely wife to continue your cooking demo's, I find them refreshing and enjoyable and love your wife's cheeky humour, so keep up the great effort as I am sure so many people who find you, appreciate what you are doing to help us understand how our body works in clear, concise tutorials. I thought would also mention that from learning here, I find that my daily dose of 'probiotics' has helped me adjust to the increase in cruciferous vegetables(ie. Kale, spinach, dandelion greens, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage) and I have not experienced bloating, and this may help others . I love your topic on "Kefir" and have now started making my own, from learning from you. Is it Okay to use raw goats milk Kefir to mix in with unsweetened organic SOY milk? to make a soy kefir? and my final question is, can you maybe do a topic on chapped lips as mine have been very dry and chapped and sore since changing my diet to Keto. God Bless you for all you are doing to make a great difference in the world of understanding health. Jennifer from downunder :)

Others have said the same, but in case you missed it, Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) causes canker sores for me too. I switched to the sensitive teeth toothpaste because it's the only kind that I could find that doesn't have it. No canker sores for several years now. My diet is already very clean. They put this stuff in shampoo too although that never caused me any issues.

In rare cases large canker sores that last up to 3 months can be Sutton's II Disease. It began with me around 10/11 years old, a few years after I developed C-PTSD from an abusive childhood that began when I was 4. I had them all of my life; 3 or 4 sores at a time, they are very large and they would last up to 3 months each, some less. I got them on my tongue, my gums, the roof of my mouth and on the inside of my cheeks. I have scars from some of them. They would also appear in my sinus cavity and they did get worse under stress. I also had a low grade fever all my life. Many times I couldn't eat and I always had swollen lymph nodes under my jaw and upper neck. There was never a time when I didn't have, at the least, two large ulcers in my mouth. I would always fall asleep after my dentist numbed my mouth as it was the only time I was out of pain. There is no virus or bacteria. I'm convinced that it is a type of Lupus only because sometimes I would have all of the signs of a 'Lupus Flair'. It took at least 6 months of being on the Healthy Keto and IF before they finally began to go away. I'm now free of them and can't say enough for how the body can heal it'self when we get out of the way and give it all the nutrition it needs and the time it needs to heal with Intermittent Fasting. Thank you Dr. Berg, I'm sure I'd still have them if I hadn't found Healthy Keto and IF through you on Youtube.

i specifically looked for you when searching this, i just happens the last week ive eating everything that can cause a canker soar and now i know why

[hey]

Had a canker sore yesterday, ate nutritional yeast last night and its halfway gone already! Incredible!!

[ronenlivny]

Hi Dr. Berg,
another thing that can cause cankers is SLS or sodium lauryl sulfate that can be found in many toothpastes today. i use to have them on a daily bases and once i changed my toothpaste to one without SLS they all gone, 4 years without cankers.

[rickysikes]

I had a cold sore for the first time in a few years. I read the comments below. One man mentioned colloidal silver. I keep that in my supplements caddy, so I took some. Then, using a cotton ball, I put it on the cold sore. Over night it was dried up and healed.

[TheStewieGriffinShow]

I just recently got a very painful canker sore on the back of my tongue which was diagnosed by my dentist. He said it would go away in around 10 days which it did. However, it came back, and I figured out what caused it. It was caused by drinking too much pineapple juice after creating a sore on my tongue from accidentally biting my tongue with my teeth.

[dlight]

Thank for all the information. I am blessed to have never had a cold sore. Canker sores erupted with food items such as orange juice. I have avoided it and now (per your advice) I use the nutritional yeast and vitamin B and I have not had ANY sores! Thanks

[dragonmomofficial]

Hey Dr. What do you think about polio drops for Cold soars?

[Colors.TF]

I get canker sores once every 2-4 months 😢

[Lotssay]

Thank you, Dr. Berg! You are an awesome doctor! With the help of your videos, I have gained muscle, memory, and stamina.

[misfittoytower]

Foods that have caused me to get canker sores: pineapple (especially), chocolate, ibuprofen, excessive amounts of lime juice.

[randude]

I only get a canker sore after injuring the skin inside my mouth, usually by biting the inside of my cheek while chewing.

[mrmoon]

I used to get canker sores so badly when I was a kid my lips and cheeks used to swell to the point of struggling to talk, I used to consume lots of sugar and drank very little water, thankfully I don’t struggle with them anymore, I take vitamin D C and lots of water which may have helped, I do still consume to much sugar 😬

[JewishKeto]

Canker sores also happen when you injure the inside of your mouth.
