Re: Calendula Update

Congratulations on your progress! My HCO should be arriving in the mail today or Monday. Changing stomach and saliva pH from Acidic to more Alkaline could be effective in slowing down the lip peeling cycle and inflammation.

For the last 5 days I've been applying a baking soda paste to my lips 2x a day in order to alkalize the skin. I've been applying Lanolin afterwards to keep the lips moist.

My issue is that the corners of my mouth are sticky because of the Lanolin and cold weather. I'm thinking of applying something else on the corners. What does everyone recommend? Aquaphor? Vasoline? I need something slick so the skin doesn't pull apart at the corners...

Anyway, per your example, I started drinking diluted apple cider vinegar today. Tweet
