Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem my wife is dealing with.
She has had canker sores since she was a kid, and tried everything she
could think of to deal with them. A few years ago she learned about
lysene and started taking it, about 1000 ml per day. It's been a
wonder for her. On those occasions when the sores do flare up, they
are short-lived and not nearly as painful as they had been before.
At her last physical checkup, the doctor informed her that her
cholesterol is fairly high and gave her a list of foods to watch out
for, as well as foods to eat more of. Thing is, we tend to eat pretty
well. Our diet included all the healthy things on his list, as well as
only occasional consumption of the things he suggested avoiding (red
meat, butter etc). We aren't sure why her cholesterol level is so
elevated, especially considering mine is right where it should be.
Last night she came across an article in "Alternative Medicine"
magazine that stated there might be a correlation between lysene and
cholesterol. This seems like it could be at least part of the problem.
Unfortunately, it might mean she needs to stop taking it, allowing the
sores free reign.
Questions:
1) Has anyone else heard of the correlation between lysene and
cholesterol?
2) Are there any suggestions for cholesterol-lowering substances that
she can take without having to stop the lysene?
3)If she were to stop taking lysene, are there any other remedies to
deal with canker sores? She has tried a number, but I'm sure there are
others we haven't heard of.
