The ratios I read (from the chart that is "of little use") say 3/1
lysine/arginine to .185, or less than 1/5 lysine/arginine. That's quite a
difference, and could have a considerable impact on someone who is
susceptible to these mouth sores.

Maybe it's of "little use" to you, since you don't seem to believe in the
relationship of nutrition to susceptibility.

The pain of playing harmonica through a bout of mouth sores can be
alleviated to a great extent through proper nutrition. This has been my
experience. Take it or leave it.
