ive had ec for a very long times. i am sure though that candida is just hocus pocus jibbish from the internet, like gluten and others things. anyway. what i am doing is working and i can gladly say that i am healed now. it only take less than a week to return normal lips. wikipedia is very website with correct information. i research saliva and here is what it say about epithileal cells which is what the repairing of lips needs anti inflammation and microbial bacterial things.

Saliva is a watery substance formed in the mouths of animals, secreted by the salivary glands. Human saliva comprises 99.5% water, plus electrolytes, mucus, white blood cells, epithelial cells (which can be used to extract DNA), glycoproteins, enzymes (such as amylase and lipase), antimicrobial agents such as secretory IgA and lysozyme.[1] The enzymes found in saliva are essential in beginning the process of digestion of dietary starches and fats. These enzymes also play a role in breaking down food particles entrapped within dental crevices, thus protecting teeth from bacterial decay.[2] Furthermore, saliva serves a lubricative function, wetting food and permitting the initiation of swallowing, and protecting the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity from desiccation

dessication is when your lips dry out very much because you dont use saliva.
want them to heal so bad like normal skin you dont touch saliva to them because are afraid? was my problem for many long times.

leave alone is worst thing you can do, they will dry out more and more and get more damage like rusty chain or bearing that wont spin, it needs lube to run correct.
