How there be a cure when you haven't truly seeked the cause of the illness?

I am a beautiful black woman in my thirties treated like a monster. I really don't know where to begain so I'm going to just throw my life out there. I have seen many Dentists, a Periodontist, Ent physicians, a few therapists, a nutritionist, and even a Oral surgeon. I have even prayed, pleaded, and even been very specific in asking God to heal me. My breath odor recently went from smelling like a dead dog on the side of the road on a hot sunny day to horse crap even coming through my nose when my mouth is shut. I have been told by my Dentist, the Oral Surgeon, and my Periodontist that I don't have gingervitis. I have in the past had my tonsils removed, gall bladder removed, and I do have two crowns (with root canals). I feel like maybe I have feces backing into my stomach and the odor is exiting orally or the teeth where I have the crowns is causing this smell to seep through my sinus passage. At this time I am only going to try to touch on my condition for some miracle relief or at the most the medical truth. I shall return to share my everyday life experiences and ways I try to co-exist. If anyone knows of a Research Center that would be willing to help please let me know.

I can understan your pain, and sadness.I am a male with the same problems.As bad as the problem is.At least you know that there are other people with the same problem(you are not alone).So its much easier to communicate your pains, and hurts to someone whos dealing with the same problem.

OMG!! I feel the same as you. I'm an extremely attractive 28 yr old BW with excellent hygiene and still I suffer from bad breath. I'm currently seeing the ENT for chronic sinusitis and I'm sure he won't solve my problem. However, I recently had a complete physical done in January and my physician notice something is abnormal with my liver. My enzymes are higher than normal. So, hopefully that's the underlying problem as to why I suffer from bb.

I'm so depress! My friends all know and still no one says anything about it. However, they offer me gum and mints all the time. I'm sure they know I'm aware of the smell therefore; they don't want to hurt my feelings. My ex boyfriend was always honest about my bb. He even tease me often about it...even still he loves me and still wants to be with me.

My current bf never says anything about it and it drives me crazy. I don't understand how he deals with it. I'm sure he wants to say something but, he doesn�t know how I'll take it. I wish he would say something....he has no idea how relieved I'll feel.

You are not alone that's all I can tell you. I share your pain and its not fair. It just makes you ask why me? It is so unfair to be treated like a monster when your really not one. I know, I remember being in college and going through all that humiliation and the laughing, I don't understand why anyone would think that this is funny. But unless they are in our shoes that can not possibly understand the pain and loneliness we have to endure on a daily basis. As the years go by without a cure you just develop thick skin and just try to live through it.

Hello, I am a Black woman, who has been dealing with this issue for over a decade. My entire life has been put on hold because if BB. I don't socialize and interact with people as much as I used to before the issue. My dating life has been a disaster. I am in my late 30's. When I talk to people, I try to keep my distance and not talk in their faces. I don't look at people in their eyes anymore. I have tried various remedies, but with no success. I have gone to dentists, who told me to just "brush my gums". I finally found one that suggested that I have my molars pulled and get Periodontal treatments. I pray that this will be the remedy. I want my life back again.

I too am a beautiful BW with a beautiful spirit in my late 30's. I have suffered since I was 22 years old. I have tried many things to include getting dental fillings re-done. I recently heard of a sea salt (no-iodine) flush that is supposed to draw the toxins out of your body. I am currently using a parasite cleanse first and then will proceed to the sea salt flush and hope this will help. I have prayed and asked God for a miracle and feel like He's brought me this information for a reason to include finding this blog site. For your sinuses, I have used a 1/3 cup of hot lemon juice (concentrated) with a small amount of sugar or 1 packet of splenda in the mornings and found that this cleared mucous from my throat and also my sinuses. I used to always have to clear my throat before this.

I'm also a BW with this issue. I've had haliometer tests, they say I don't have BB, but you can tell when your breath isn't right when you are talking to people. I've had my tonsils removed because I had tonsiliths. Of course now I don't have them, but the BB is still there. I know I don't drink enough water, but who does ?? What makes me so different then the next person. Its very stressfull and sad, I disables me from being me. I've tried different remedies, but thing so far has helped. I do you a tongue brush and tongue paste, that cleanses my tongue (I have a white sticky coat). I've been told that I'm healthy. My next step is to see a Digestive Care specialist. Its just so hard to have to tell people I'm here for BB.

Yes. My situation is the same, as far as the friends and boyfriend thing. I guess they are like, she apparently can't do anything about it so why mention it. I must admit though most of the ppl around me are very nice about it, they still talk to me at close range. My bf says I don't have a problem its in my head, I'm like NO you know when something just isn't right. I feel as if anything i try will not work anyway so way bother. Then I join here and see that other ppl have the same issue(s) and they haven't found a cure or success in what they have being trying, I don't want to be like this forever !!

I totally understand. But you've got to hold your head up! There are so many things to be appreciative for, this forum for one! If we all come together we will figure this out. Here is what im thinking is the cause....

An immune disorder against certain bacteria.

That makes sense. Now, we just have to figure out how to find out if that's the problem. I've been attempting to make a dr appt with the Digestive Care Center where I live. I've made a couple attempts but never actually made the appt. I called and asked if they saw ppl with bb, they said yes. I guess I will go through with it b/c it would help either way (rule it out, or lead me to the problem).

From experience I can say confidently if you use Therabreath for oral care you might as well use water to brush your teeth. Therabreath destroyed my dental strudcture. It-is-useless. Don't waste your money.

You hit the nail on the head. They must get to the root of the prob. We need the best chemists out there, or there will never be a cure. I've resolved to just trying to live with it. I have no choice, I'm not going to kill myself. I'm not going anywhere, they'll just have to deal with it. I have to live with it every day... the pain and the shame. A misfit in society.
