Those 9% also had bad halitosis, according to Jimi, who doesn't believe in psychological disordersScientist42 wrote:Guys, in a study of 58 patients who complained of halitosis, 81% had halitosis of oral origin, 10% had halitosis which did not originate from the mouth and 9% had no halitosis (halitophobia)

If monkey Mel would get you in his hands he would say you have halitophobia, and I am starting to believe that because oyu obsess so much with it. Probably it is true that you should buy some listerine and you should be ok.
Larc I really think you have halitophobia, just enjoy your life and stop thinking you have bb. And everything will be ok.
Trust Mel the Ape, he knows the truth

The halitophobia diagnosis is because the patient has an INTERMITTENT PROBLEM which was not there at the time the patient saw the doctor/dentist.
Yes indeed! Halitosis CAN be intermittent!! Is there anybody reading this who has this type of halitosis and can back me up? Believe me guys, this is true. There is this girl in Manchester, England, who has faecal breath in 'waves'.
Most of us have constant halitosis which varies in intensity due to various factors like what we have eaten/drunk etc. But a small proportion of people have intermittent halitosis which comes out as a wave of odour for maybe half an hour then disappears as quick as it had come!!
In effect what I am saying is that the term halitophobia has been blown out of all proportion by some dentists etc. It does exhist, especially in psychiatric patients but it is nowhere near as high as some would claim!
2 If the breath evaluation is carried out improperly then there will be a variety of other factors that can lead to a false diagnosis of halitophobia
eg odour fatigue in the evaluator.
In most cases though, the evaluation is conducted on more than one occassion and so it is intermittent halitosis which has led to an incorrect diagnosis of halitophobia.

If you choose to believe that every single person who believes they have chronic bb does actually have it, fine with me. It is exactly the same as telling an anorectic girl that she is as fat as she thinks she is.
Entire rooms, cars, elevators, etc have been stunk up by me, sadly. If it weren't for those confirmations, I'd be happy to just pop some pills and forget about the whole thing.
Warm wishes

Hmmm...after reading this old thread, I'm wondering the same thing!! Did he ever come back here with an update? Jimi might know though!Shit4Breath wrote:I was just wondering if thanatos ever bought the OralChroma and if so what were the results?
And whatever happened to Larc400 who had over 700 posts! I don't see any recent posts from him, does that mean he's cured?
Why do people just disappear so suddenly after being so active on this forum?!
Hello Dr. Aydinmur, I think the main purpose would be so we can measure how effective the solutions we're trying are.aydinmur wrote:Origin(s) of halitoısis can not be diagnosed by measuring..
Suppose that you have one OralChroma.
So what ?

For me, I've been battling this bb issue for 10 years now. At almost any given time I'm always trying a supplement, diet, etc. But the hardest part is not being able to gauge if it's getting better or worse.
Most of us are very isolated and don't socialize much because of this issue so really we have no way of knowing where we stand with our bb. Thanks.
It's a little pricey but I think it could be extremely helpful in trying to find a solution for this issue. Even more helpful for me as my severe bb doesn't originate from the mouth.
I have contacted the manufacturer and will keep you guys updated.
