Everybody seems to say 'find the cause of your bad breath and then follow through with treatment' (e.g GERD or root canals) but ive never come across a solution in curing a bacterial imbalance which mainly congragates on the tonuge, Only cover ups seem to be the option! . Scraping still does not get rid of the smell completly and the bacteria just builds up again. I feel like theres no hope and id rather not be here if i know i have to deal with this my whole life.

Anyone like to enlighten me on some cures for a persistant bacterial imbalance, im desperate here, its so depressing as you all know ..

Ok, its late so I'll make this short. I suffered from level 4-5 BB all my life. in my 30's now. so you can imagine how bad this is. I managed to date and have a child, but it has always been a problem.
I can't tell you how much research I did on this and products I tried. Fact is, no matter what I do, BB comes back 10 minutes later. Antibiotics work while you are taking them... and have immunodeficient side effects. Then just by chance, I tried Toxinout from Dr natura. I swear this is not an advertisement for the company. In fact, I don't even recommend the whole treatment, just the Toxinout heavy metal remover pills. After taking them for two weeks, my BB went down to 1, as was assured by everyone I asked (and these people are honest). 2 reasons I am posting this.... 1) I am trying to find out what the active ingredient that is causing this is, and 2) to help people who feel helpless - been there myself.
problem is when you stop, BB comes back, but at least it is healthier that taking antibiotics your whole life.
All feedback truly appreciated.

Thanks for this great site! I have been dealing with bad breath for two years.

I get persistent tonsil stones and they have ruined my life. They give me bad breath

Doctors always just give me antibiotics and shrug and say just gargle with salt water 6 times a day- wtf? who can do this?

I want them out and I know tonsils out will mean a cure for me. Does anyone know a doctor in Los Angeles who will take tonsils out because of tonsil stones and holes in tonsils? I dont care if i spend 5k it is worth it. any info would be apprecaited- thanks!

I just want to post here some info about raw food. I was on it twice, I almost got rid of bb after 6 months. I think only like 5 % of bb remained and that would be gone after a while, but I stopped because I had problems with teeth, and my enamel was chipping of because of acids in oranges, lemons and other citrus fruit.

People started to talk to me again, friends invited me to more than just a few hours meeting...
It was not gone, i can't say i was totally cured but raw food was the only thing that really helpd me.

It is not easy to stick with it, no way, you could get in real problems with wanting cooked food that is delicious.
But if you are sick and on the verge with living with bb try it.

So many people got cured. I believe it would cure me, but I was not suffering enough. BB was not killing me enough so I gave up. But if you are desperate try it. It might save you.

STUDY AND MAKE YOUR CHOICE, I PROMISE THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT; BUT YOU NEED A WILL; STROOOONNGGG WILLLL.

BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE DOING IT.

Ok I have found this article on another site, and I am using peroxide instead of Colloidal Silver because I dont have it. The important thing is how to flush and tilt the head, and keep the solution in your sinuses for few minutes.

A great article. I breath really good, and smell some strange smell coming out, but tomorrow peroxide might not work anymore like it failed in the past. I wil also try to make my own colloidal silver and that should improve everything at least a little.

Prepare the solution:

Perform this procedure with a true colloidal silver only. Do not use silver protein products. Silver protein products can cause a serious infection if used in the sinuses.

Add one-eigth teaspoon Xylitol to one ounce of colloidal silver to make the rinse solution. Xylitol is available in most health food stores. For additional comfort warm the rinse solution to slightly above body temperature or approximately 100 degrees F. This solution may also be used with a sinus irrigator to flush out the sinus cavities if a sinus irrigator is available.

The Sinus Flooding Procedure:

a. Lay on a bed face up with the head hanging over the edge of the mattress so the nostrils are pointing straight up toward the ceiling.

b. Use an eye dropper to fill each nostril with the rinse solution. Keep filling each nostril until the rinse solution starts to drip in the throat, indicating the sinus cavities are filled. Remain in the same position for 2 to 3 minutes.

c. Roll over on the stomach and let the head flop forward over the edge of the mattress. This allows the rinse solution to flow into the forward sinus cavities. Remain in that position for 2 to 3 minutes then sit up and let the rinse drain out through the nose.

d. Important: Repeat this procedure 45 minutes later. The two rinses 45 minutes apart constitute a single rinse session. Perform two or more such rinse sessions per day. Relief will typically be noticeable by the second day. It is not unusual for the sinus infection to be gone within three days.

e. Repeat two sessions per day until the infection subsides. Very persistent infections may require five to seven day or more.

n addition to the set of symptoms a typical IBS patient has, many report that they also have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. So, what is a hiatal hernia? First, a lesson in anatomy. When you swallow, food passes down the esophagus, through a muscle known as the diaphragm, then through the esophageal sphincter and into the stomach. A hiatal hernia occurs when the top of the stomach slides up through the opening of the diaphragm or any other part of the diaphragm and becomes stuck there. This new position of the top of the stomach deforms the base of the esophagus causing the valve (esophageal sphincter) that closes the opening to the esophagus to be unable to seal off the esophagus and protect it from stomach acid. The end result of this deformation of your system are the symptoms most hiatal hernia sufferers complain of: heartburn, pain, esophageal spasms, potential inflammation, Barrett’s Esophagitis and esophageal ulcers.

Solar toothbrush could make toothpaste obsolete

SASKATOON -- Toss the toothpaste. The future of oral hygiene is solar.

University of Saskatchewan dentistry professor emeritus Dr. Kunio Komiyama and his colleague Dr. Gerry Uswak are recruiting 120 teens willing to brush with a prototype light-powered toothbrush and sit in a dentist's chair for a few extra inspections.

The manufacturer, the Shiken company of Japan, is paying the researchers to investigate whether the brush, which causes a chemical reaction in the mouth, does a better job of eliminating plaque and bacteria than a conventional toothbrush.
Dr. Kunio Komlyama and Dr. Gerry Uswak of the College of Dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan display their solar toothbrush.

Komiyama's first model, which was described 15 years ago in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology, contained a titanium dioxide rod in the neck of the brush, just below the nylon bristles. It works when light shines on the wet rod, releasing electrons. Those electrons react with acid in the mouth, which helps break down plaque. No toothpaste is required.

Now Komiyama's back with a newer model, the Soladey-J3X, which he says packs twice the chemical punch compared to the original. Protruding from the base of the brush is a solar panel, which transmits electrons to the top of the toothbrush through a lead wire.

It won't work in the dark, though - the brush needs about as much light as a solar-powered calculator would to operate.

In the lab, Komiyama tested the newer brush on cultures of two types of bacteria which are major culprits in periodontal disease.

"You see complete destruction of bacterial cells," he said.

At the FDI Annual World Dental Conference in Dubai last month, the team's poster describing the lab research won first prize out of 170 entries, which gives Komiyama confidence there is scientific merit to the brush.

Bad Breath

Causes

I have found this article recomennded on Yahoo Boards so I am posting it here

There are a number of causes of bad breath, foremost among them being bacteria in the mouth, stomach and intestinal disturbances, bowel sluggishness, sinus or throat infections, and tobacco and alcohol use.

• Alcohol consumption causes digestive problems which leads to bad breath. In addition, alcohol dries out the mouth, which reduces saliva production. See below for more information.
• Stress is another cause which may not be readily apparent when you are looking for reasons for bad breath. Stress affects the digestive system. An insufficient supply of digestive enzymes may be another cause.
• Other sources of bad breath are in the nose and the nasopharynx, the area above the base of your tongue.
• Dieting may be a cause of bad breath.
• Since dehydration leads to constipation and digestive problems, it is very beneficial to drink 6-8 eight ounce glasses of water a day. Juice, coffee, tea, colas, etc. don't count!
• Bad breath may emanate from the back of the throat due to sinus or tonsil infections resulting in excess bacteria. See Sinus Problems in our Ailments section for more information. If you have sinus or throat problems you may well have some form of allergy. See Allergies in our Ailments section for more information.
• Bad breath may also be the sign of potentially more serious medical conditions such as diabetes, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux, hypoglycemia, kidney or liver malfunction, and respiratory disorders.
• The foods eaten also are a potential cause of halitosis. Certain foods, such as garlic, onions and certain spices are frequently cited as cause for a person's bad breath. Both vegetarians and those who eat large quantities of meat may develop bad breath due, in part, to the digestive process. Digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva has enzymes which begin the digestion process, and the type of food eaten can affect the food chemistry of the mouth. Saliva will also pick up odors from food within several hours after it has been eaten. Odors are strongest from carbohydrates - sugars, starches and cellulose, less strong from proteins, and nonexistent from fats. Bacteria in the mouth react with the decaying food and drink residue and can be the source of the foul odor.
• A milk intolerance often is the cause of bad breath. Eliminate all dairy products and see if they are the culprit.
• The stomach also is an area that causes bad breath problems for many people. Poor digestion, constipation, or bowel disorders may create gas which exits the mouth. Not enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach may cause poor digestion, so undigested food will pass into the intestines, putrefy and give off foul gas which rises up and causes bad breath. This problem is quite common with older people whose body does not produce enough hydrochloric acid naturally to aid the digestion process.
• Another common digestive problem is due to the imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. Food won't be digested properly and the result can be acid reflux, yeast overgrowth, or fermentation. One of the byproducts of this problem is bad breath. To correct this imbalance, use a probiotic.
• Diarrhea caused by intestinal parasites is the third leading cause of illness. If you have a number of the following symptoms: gas, diarrhea, chronic constipation, bloating, fatigue, skin rashes, nail biting, mood swings, insomnia, dry skin, brittle hair, hair loss, weight gain, bad breath, and muscle cramping, you should be tested for parasites.
• Dental problems, especially periodontal disease and tooth abscesses, are often the cause of bad breath. These infected areas harbor large quantities of bacteria from the infection and foods eaten which have been allowed to putrefy. Other dental sources are gaps between teeth or crooked teeth, both areas where food can be left to decay. Vitamin deficiencies, especially vitamin C and niacin, are the cause of some gum diseases, so follow the supplementation recommendations listed below. Don't chew gum or eat candy, as the sugar can leave a residue that promotes rapid bacterial growth. Each person's body chemistry is different, so what works for somebody may have no effect on somebody else, all due to that person's chemistry. See our gingivitis/periodontal section for more information on dental problems.

Ok, I postet this already on forum but i think this is important and more people should see it.I am really testing myself everyday. I really recommend to buy a braun electric brush and just turn it on put some paste on it a little peroxide and just press down slightly. If you remove all the white stuff that is on tonsils you will feel fresh.

I always though the problem lies deeper down in my throat, BUT NO!!

The problem is where the tonsils are but the feeling spreads deeper down in the throat like having a big lump.

Brushing only the tongue does not help, it removes the coating, but the coating I do not think really smells. In tongue there is no such deep cracks as in the tonsils area, even if you do not have them anymore like it is my problem. Still there are cracks where the bacteria resides and make fun of you me. Damn bacteria.

I think Dr. Yehuda theory is so close to mine, more that theory of others "experts" who say the tongue is the cause. Probably they must know the cure but they just wanna sell the products. Also when i tried some mouthwashes it helped, but the major improvement started when after using mouthwash for 2 days the lumb kind of fell of from the back of my mouth, where the tonsil area is.

Experiment people.

MORE HEADS ARE SMARTER THAT ONLY ONE!!!
We will crack this bugger for sure, the problem is so simple it is just in front of us.

What the laser do is it removes the scars and smoothes the tissue so there are no scars and holes where the bacterias could reside. I think I will go to operation soon. I have to try it.

I just wanted to add as much info about TMAU to my webiste as possible so anyone could learn about it. I knew the problem lies in my liver and now I can see I was right. The liver is the center of matabolism in our bodies. I always felt there is something in my liver, a pressure or even gallbladder stones that are causing the bad breath. That is why some people cured their bad breath with liver flushes, because they cleansed their liver. Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is a genetically-mediated disorder, which maybe inherited in an autosomal, recessive fashion. This was initially suggested by studying of sufferers and their families. More recently, examination of the molecular deficits responsible for TMAU reveal that a variety of genetic alterations in the gene which codes for the particular liver enzyme (Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase #3; FMO3) may cause TMAU symptoms.
