Margaret,

Although we didn't use exact measures, I kind of put a tsp of both into a 16or 20oz water bottle filled with warm tap water. I made this mix every morning and just left it on the kitchen counter. I didn't have a problem with mouth sores at all but did have significant thick mucous. The key, I think, though is the frequency I rinsed/gargled with salt/bak sda mix at least 5 or 6 times a day. After I vomitted up mucous, after I drank my liquid meals, after bad coughing spells in the middle of the night etc...

It seemed to help me out.

Take Care,
Tim
