Oh, I should add that it took about 6 to 8 weeks before I was certain that it was helping.

I found that 2000 IU of vitamin D a day (after therapy) did wonders for me.

Interferon can cause a plethora of mouth sores and ulcers. You might have a fungal thing going on… I had a white, non-removable plaque for a while, along with sores. You can ask your doctor for ‘Magic Mouthwash’; this is a prescription medication that contains lidocaine, Maalox, and Nystatin that numbs on contact. It’s a swish ‘n swallow mix that needs to be concocted by your local pharmacy.

Good luck to you—

FDA Approves Stevia


Update note: This breaking news article has been updated from its original version to clarify the nature of the FDA's GRAS "approval" for stevia. In the original breaking news, we reported that the FDA had granted GRAS approval to stevia. Technically, the FDA has only issued letters of "no objection" regarding companies' self-affirmation of GRAS approval for stevia. In other words, the FDA hasn't technically granted approval to stevia but has affirmed it will not object to companies using it in foods and beverages. This puts stevia in a "grey zone" where the FDA could potentially target selected companies (small stevia producers) while ignoring other companies (Coca-Cola and Cargill, for example), even while they use essentially the same sweeteners.

Rinsing with a 1/4 tsp of baking soda and 1/4 cup water is good to make your mouth feel fresh too.
