Mystery
I was listening to a conversation two ladies were having. The one lady had been dealing with severe cold sores on her lips and in her mouth. She went to the Doctor and got medicine but nothing worked. This is the second week. The other lady made this comment: “My Mom got the same thing a few years ago. She was on chemotherapy”. She also commented that she’s run across several other people that have gotten the same thing. The second lady went on to tell her theory. “I think it’s radiation.” “Radiation has been detected in the Midwest, because of the jet stream.”
Do you know anyone that has experienced anything similar?
Do you think it is possibly radiation poison from Japan?

I don’t think so. I suffered from cold sores almost every week. I think its just a matter of finding the best thing to help. I have found something that works for me. I don’t think radiation this would have caused this kind of reaction anyway, the results would have been more severe I think.
I don’t think so at all. I’ve had them from young. I haven’t had them in a couple of years. Vitamins E, B, and C help to prevent them. As well as Zinc and Lysine. I tried Lysine and it works well and very fast. Cold sores are a form of herpes anyway so radiation or whatever has nothing to do with it.
The levels of radiation are as low as getting one xray once a year. I doubt that has anything to do with it.
I’ve had cold sores most of my adult life. It’s a virus and once you contract it, it’s with you for the rest of your life. Colds, stress and being run down bring them on for me. I used lysine and Abreva to treat them.
I thought everyone just got cold sores sometimes. lol.

i have absolutely no idea
My husband was on a very strong chemo drug. It caused terrible mouth sores. The doctors prescribed a medication called “Swish and Swallow”. It helped, but not much. I think your lady may have had these sores confused with cold sores.
