I used the both the baking soda/salt and the organic raw Manuka honey. Sometimes I used the Manuka right after the baking soda rinse, sometimes just whenever. It's good if you get sores I'm your mouth. Cheryld recommended it to me, she used it faithfully. it worked for me, or at least I thought it did. Maybe you can PM her. Some things work for some people, and don't for others. I wa a bit neurotic and tried almost everything suggested. AND DR APPROVED, I didn't make a move without asking my RO. I brushed my teeth alot during the day. I was so concerned about sugar, but everyone said eat sugar!! Sugar = calories! Maybe cheryld will see this and give her two cents.
