Hey guys, I don't post much but I do frequent the forum and follow Peat advice. Anyways, one issue that undoubtedly cleared up directly as a result of a Peat way of thinking was cold sores/canker sores in my mouth a couple years back. I can basically say this unequivocally as I tried all the mainstream, common methods like reducing citrus, pouring salt on them to burn them (lol why?), listerine etc. I couldn't eat normal foods and was reduced to pure liquids, and this was going on for almost a year in my mouth. My brother now has them and this reminded me that I should post this for anyone who needs to try it. As Peat says, the mouth and the gut are closely linked, and it was possible I had a gut bacteria overload so I gave his carrot salad a shot. Wouldn't you know it, in a week my mouth was back to normal. A year of suffering on and off, and trying every treatment under the sun, and the sores disappear in a week from Ray's subtle carrot salad suggestion.... it made me a believer needless to say. Anyways, these sores can be overwhelming if they multiply so if you have numerous sores, give the carrot salad a shot. Thanks.
