I went to an ENT consultant who could find nothing wrong with me. Zinc chloride works very well which proves to me that the bacterial problem is originating in the mouth as opposed to anywhere else.

Increasing the Zinc Chloride concentration to 1% results in a complete response. Looks like I am definitely on the right track with this treatment. Just need to combine with other antiseptics to increase the duration of the effect. A lot of bad breath products contain Zinc Chloride. You might have a...

I find that shortly after using the .5% solution there is a significant improvement, but not a complete response. I shall try combining it with 0.1% sodium hypochlorite to see if there is a greater improvement.

I read in a clinical study that when used as a mouthwash as a 0.5% solution it reduces VSC's by 85-98% for around 3 hours after use. I have bought some Zinc Chloride and plan to try it to see if it has any positive effect, has anyone had any positive experiences with this anti bacterial chemical? ht...

Levofloxacin is notorious for it's toxicity I would be reluctant to try that. Besides, if metronidazole works then clearly it's anaerobic bacteria that are the problem, levofloxacin is not as active against anaerobic bacteria.

If it was blood borne or a result of a problem in the respiratory tract then the smell would come through the nose as well, though if it was blood borne it wouldn't necessarily be 24/7. The halimeter will only measure volatile sulphur compounds, not other compounds that cause bad breath like propion...

Why do you think mercury causes bad breath? Amalgam fillings have not been shown to cause mercury poisoning or cause bad breath and Toxinout has no clinical trials showing it's safety or efficacy and makes completely ridiculous unsubstantiated claims.

Since peptides and amino acids are metabolised to form the volatile sulphur compounds and volatile fatty acids that cause the majority of the bad breath smell, and dietary protein levels are strongly correlated with salivary peptide levels, assuming peptide levels are, or can, become a limiting fact...

Clinical trials have shown that tongue scraping doesn't work anyway, only reducing vsc's for 20mins or so afterwards. A solution of acetic acid or citric acid will make the ph acidic, baking soda will neutralise the ph, and a sodium hydroxide solution will make the ph basic. However it's difficult t...

If you go to your GP you can be referred to an ENT who will perform a rhinoscopy and CT scan typically.

It's no surprise that increasing the oral/esophageal ph reduces halitosis. Most bacteria cannot survive ph levels in excess of 8 so increasing the ph will lead to a decreased bacterial count, interestingly dogs have high ph saliva which kills bacteria and prevents cavities.

Reducing the amount of carbohydrates and sugar in your diet is starving the bacteria of nutrients thus reducing the bacterial population, this will inevitably reduce bad breath.
