Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Thanks for that information hopefornow. Some people may have minor areas where certain actions with antimicrobials may help minor gum problems and get rid of the BB, but this is not likely to apply to many people on this site. It may help a few though. I'm not all that certain about the properties ...

@ Archimonde & HOpeful yes it will dissolve upon contact. I don't rub my gums with the saline solution or with plain salt what I do is add a pinch of salt to 20-30ml of water then gargle. for brushing add pinch of salt on a bit of toothpaste then let it dissolve, then gargle again with the same...

Sorry, my point is, if these products help and you suspect your gums might not be perfect, it might be a good idea to try adding them to the water in a waterpik type device so that it gets into the gums. No mouthrinsing or brushing or flossing is as effective or deep cleaning as a waterpik. The pro...

Yay Hope4now you are seeing some improvement! My gums are evil. If I don't get them cleaned by the dentist every 3 or 4 months, I'm in trouble. And boy can gums make your bb horrid! That's just one of my contributors but I have that in check now. Thanks for the suggestion of just brushing with the ...

I've been trying 2 drops of GSE on a toothbrush instead of toothpaste. I was trying the concentrated salt treatment recommended on another thread and was getting good results, but my gums got a bit sore. So I thought of trying GSE instead of salt. I think it may be even better than salt, although th...

Update: I've been continuing to brush twice a day with concentrated salt solution. The upper right outside gums have been bleeding some and are sensitive. The upper left outside gums not as much. I think this is because of gum disease. The lower gums don't bleed or get sensitive with the same treatm...

I brushed last night and this morning with strong salt solution. In the past I've tried salt rinses, but much more diluted, and never with a toothbrush. It irritated my gums a bit, but nothing dark came out. My gums felt a bit swollen afterwords. Kind of like after a good cleaning at the dentist. I ...

I agree about the toothpaste. Whenever I use toothpaste with sodium lauryl sulfate, my gums smell worse after I floss or use the water pik. I use a water pik every morning and floss every night but it doesn't seem to help the bb much. My gums don't bleed, so I thought I didn't have gum disease. Gum ...

Cloves, fennel, bettle leaf ... all these did not work for me to cure bb. I use cloves, fennel ,cardomon , fresh ginger with xylitol in my daily tea (sometimes I miss some of these ingredients). Have been using it for years and still have bb :( Clove in hot/warm water helps with throat mucus, but i...

Has anyone here tried cloves (syzygium aromaticum) for bb? It has a long history of treating digestive problems, parasites, and as a breath freshener. I had some capsules on the shelf from a parasite cleanse. Thought I'd give it a try. It's also an expectorant. Helps to clear the throat. I hacked so...

I had some sitting on the shelf so I tried it as a morning and night mouth rinse (swallowing after rinsing). I've been using it just since yesterday. So I just leaned over to grab something out of my backpack and smelled moth balls mixed with farts. (That seems to be a good trick for smelling your o...

I would only buy one to measure any progress made. If the readings go down on those three gases, I guess I must be doing something right 8-[. At the moment, any progress is just guesswork, by judging on others' reactions etc. Not very accurate. 8) Yes. That's why a lot of us are going in circles. R...

Interesting. Thanks searching. I might give it a try.

I found a number of studies that show it reduces dental plaque and bacteria in the mouth.

My only concern is the aluminum content, which is not supposed to be good for the brain.

I'm taking 1 tsp zeolite powder in water in the morning. When I missed a couple of days the bb seemed to get worse so it may be helping. zeolite source: http://www.etszeolite.com/ I'm also taking 1 capsule of Nature's Way Chlorofresh a day. At first it seemed to help but over time less so. I'm also ...

Thanks for the tip, sadman. I'm trying 1 tsp ETS Zeolite mixed with some juice in the morning. I'll let you know if it helps. At the very least, I could use the detox.

I'm also taking Chlorofresh capsules by Nature's Way.
