Anyone else out there who gets cold sores find that altering their paleo diet in 
certain ways speeds the healing?  I ask because I've been under lots of 
work/family stress recently and the mother of all cold sores popped up under 
my lip right above the chin crease.  I'm in the sun daily for 1-2 hours but sun 
has never bothered me before.  Only significant diet changes have been that 
I've been eating way more pumpkin seeds (raw) and dry roasted almonds than 
usual -- stress eating... I also had some teeth whitening recently -- at home 
but the gel was from the dentist -- used it 2 days and my gums got very 
sore.  Maybe that's related?
