I've been reading several different books about the raw food diet.
"Green for life" by Boutenko has been the most influential.
Basically, Boutenko says that our closest relatives are the chimpanzees with 99 percent of the same DNA as humans.
The chimp diet is about half fruit, and half green leafy vegetables.
Boutenko says that our human diet should be very similar. Humans are the ONLY animals that cook our food, and we have the diseases to prove it!
Bad Breath is only one of a long list of diseases that result from cooking our food.
So anyway, I've been having fun exploring all kinds of different fruits that I never really tried before. It has been great fun.
I've also been making lots of green smoothies in my blender. I've been thinking that I doubt if I had ever even tasted Kale before, but now I drink it almost every day.
Anyway, I guess my basic point is that I have become convinced that raw foodism is the only long term, truly effective answer for our problem.
Looked at from a scientific viewpoint (our DNA similarity to chimps and their diet) I think raw food is the final, definitive answer.
The key is this:
1. Eat melons in the morning
2. Eat fruit all day at work (experiment with all kinds of different fruits, it is very fun)
3. I personally like to drink Odwalla green superfoods at work too, for variety.
4. When I get home, I blend a delicious green smoothie made of kale or some other green. I throw in 3 bananas, then the greens, and finally any random fruit of my choice.
People, this is do-able. Not only will you get permanently rid of your bad breath, but many raw food people claim you will just NEVER get sick ever again. EVER. When raw food people die, the undertaker sometimes can't figure out what killed them. Natural causes, indeed.
One slight caveat: you have to gradually ease into the raw food diet, since your body will de-tox too fast if you switch overnight. So basically, eat 50 percent raw for a month, then 75 percent raw the next month, and only in the third month should you go totally raw.
Finally, the key to avoiding junk food cravings is to eat green smoothies every single day. I realized this one day when I rode my motorcycle to Mt. St. Helens, and I did not feel hunger cravings because I had drunk a green smoothie before.
Green smoothies are the missing link that make the raw diet totally doable.
Good luck my friends. I think this is our only realistic option, and the more I do it, the better it gets, and the healthier I am overall.
(Side note: As a Christian, I also believe that the Bible supports the raw diet. Adam and Eve only ate fruits and vegetables, it was only after Noah's flood that God said we could eat meat, and the life expectancy of humans dropped suddenly when they did that.)
There is an interesting book called "Health according to the scriptures" by Paul Nison for any here who happen to believe in the Bible.)

RAW FOOD WORKS! I'm not kidding!
I am going nuts
EENT
I just came home from the doctors visit and I was excited I thought my problem will be answered. It came out I have allergies but dont have sinusitis. Oh I swear I want to kill that EENT doctor . She never give me any sympathy at all. She was a bitch to me telling me I am trying to be a doctor. I think she was insulted that I know a lot of stuff compared to her. I even mentioned to her that I have tonsil stones so I have a tonsillictomy but that did not help because my postnasal drip is still there. She told me that postnasal drip doesnt cause BB. How she will explain that when I had postnasal drip thats also when I have my BB. My mouth is veryclean. Dentist assure me its not my teeth or gums. All teeth and gum issue was eliminated and so I just want a surgey on my throath or my sinusis. She said X-rays show I dont have sinusitis but of course I have allergies. She told me that its the food I ate. No fermented food she said . Okay then I will start eating raw diet starting tomorrow. I was crying in her office but she never give me any sympathy at all. She thought Im insane. She told me that I will be mentally healthy because I dont have sinusitis and no tumor or anything. Oh I dont know now what I will do. I am back to square one. I will be goin back to internist where I have been there before. and have that lower and upper GI Exam. This doesnt make sense. I now want to be a doctor so I can discover it myself..

Re: RAW FOOD WORKS! I'm not kidding!
Well, that lady Boutenko is a dumbass. What do you think our ancestors who lived in the African savannahs for 5 million years ate?bimms wrote:

Boutenko says that our human diet should be very similar.
http://tinyurl.com/lkexsg
Do you see fruit and leafy vegetables? I don't. I see meat.
well thats what I am going to do I will call kaiser change doctor and file a complain. I will schedule to my family physician tha he needs to do something about it. I know if you have badbreath then there is an underlying cause and they need to find that out. They kept on pointing fingers from one specialty to another and Im just going in circle. first I went to the dentist. Okay dentist did all the dental works I spent lijke 7000 for all root canal, extrcaction, crowns, cleaning ang cheking for gumd diseases and mostly those specialist charge a thousand just for check up. I did all dental works for three years going back and forth from one dentist to another. So its done, dentist washed their hands your cean its not your teeth. I went to a general doctor who referred me to an EENT that stupid EENT told me tonsillictomy I said okay I just want to be cured. After three months I noticed its still there. Went back to him he said you will have a GERD check for acid reflux. Results came out negative I dont have acid reflux. Went back to him then he said I dont know what to do with you and he just dismissed me I told him I need to talk for my bread and butter is talking. Can you imagine he told me change job. I was still innocent at that time I am new to this country. So I kept quiet. I could have sue him> he made fun of my problem. I went back to the dentist again. dentist said no. You have underlying problem. Then i came across with therabreath and all those sort of stuff, pro fresh and probiotic for two years Im trying to do all those stuff and did not go back to my doctor and nothing happened. I started doing it my own. Baking soda and salt, boiled guava leaves and it wont last for long hours. So I went back again and I ruled out that back home my EENT told me that I have sinusitis and went I went back to another EENT here she told me I dont have sinusitis. Its from my stomach . What I am going to do I just have an internist telling me I dont have problem with my stomach. So I have allergy skin test so doctor told me stay away from dust mite and some other allregens. He gave me a flucosunate to spray on my nostril. Lets see if my postnasal drip will stop. he told me to go back after 6 weeks. So now I am stuck. I was crying hard that night. I thought all the while I have achronic sinusitis then telling me I dont have one then I could not ask for surgey on my throath or clean out my sinusis because X rays showed I dont have a sinusitis. I dont know I am getting insane. I look at my two young kids and I cried. I could not ran away and leave them and be a hermit. Taking your life away its not the answer I am very religious. I dont want to blame God. But sometimes Im asking him why me? I have lots to offer in my own community and in my job. I am an excellent worker my Boss praise me so much but when I started to talk my co workers will lokk at each other thinking they want to buy you some toothpaste and a toothbrush. I wanted to hide. I am so emabarassed. Im just glad that I can share my feelings here. My husband loves me and my kids that he never leave me but we dont share bed anymore. Im crying everynight. Sometimes my son will ask me whats wrong mommy and I will just say nothing mommy got hurts in the eye.

Celica I've noticed you said your BB problem started about age 24 and coincided at the time you started having PND.
If I were in your position I would demand to know exactly why you suddenly started having PND because something like this doesnt just happen for no reason. Just because you dont show the signs of chronic sinusitis doesnt mean you dont have any nasal issues which might be responsible for your PND or BB. For instance fungal related infections are difficult to see on xrays/scans and because the symptoms might not be as predominant or serious as sinusitis, it gets dismissed.
Do you have nasal odours?
Does your tongue smell bad?
Do you have neither of these symptoms? Is your BB intermittent and possibly coming from your lungs or a typical systemic path.
Try spending a few days compiling a history - list everything you have tried and have yet to try. I dont mean remedies like mouthwashes or probiotics, but things like tonsillectomy, scans, endoscopic examinations, food elimination diets for intolerance/allergy, etc.

This is a little a little off the bb topic but, the fact that we're similar to apes seems true.
Ive been reading this spiritual book called The Urantia Book
Urantia is the name that the rest of the universes knows earth by.
The Urantia book is supposed to be presented by the supervisors of the universe. It has a jistory of earth in it, and , explains alot of the science and explenations, of the stories in the bible.
Well logicaly Adam and Eve probably werent the first people on earth, Book says they were a special couple seent to get the spiritual progress of this planet going. . People were here ofcourse millions of years before that, and they were so primitive they could barely talk to eachother,
Anyway the book says we evolved first from some life form from the ocean, wich then became something that then became an ape. Gradually over hundreds of thousands of years, the ape would change, such things as the hands and feet would evolve into something better, eventually the apes would stand up straighter, as the thousands of years pass.
This book just makes sense to me. It explains everything, Who Adam and Eve are, The rebellion that brought about the whole devil and fallen angel story, And much more.
Of course there is no devil, Just a loving God that lets us take trips from home to little planets like this, just for the experience of it.
I know God loves me, and this journey in bad breath land I'll lokk back on when I'm home, and I'll be proud I made it through 1 more lifetime.

Thanks:
It was a relief reading all your suggestions and concerns. You made me cry.I am now connected with you guys as if were brothers and sisters. I wish we can talk on the phone. The problem is the doctors dont listen they thought were reading too much stuff on the internet. Back in my country they will listen if you have money and most of the time even if they dont know how to cure you they will just say or give you anything. Just like that first EENT I went to and he was the best in our area. Can you imagine he would told me that I need a polyps surgery. I said for what? Oh its getting bigger then I said no I dont think so and then he said dont you want to be cured? Now i have seen 5 different EENTs and nobody said about my polyps. See. Now who we can trust? I already did all that history checked. First I am always shouting in the field. Then I always drink cold water with crushed ice. After two months. I lost my voice. I could not talk. Doctor said my larynx got swollen bad. He gave me antibiotics. Then back again to work singing, shouting and have a hoarse throat and I am forcing my throat to talk. After that I always feel that I have a pleghm on my throat. I have to clear it always. I have been spitting a lot. Then I noticed that I have stuffed nose. then a post nasal drip. BB is now a little obvious but not that bad. Then at age 27 going back to different dentist and EENT I went to gastroentorologist and have an endoscopy. He took out a sample on my tummy showing it to me on the screen. See Im suspicious withat area. Give me som etablets that cost a lot. I found out when I came here in the States its only one of the vitamins at Costco . See isnt that cruel. I been paying for it for the whole six months and its darining my salary. Then go to another clinic taking some garlic pill and some kind of chloropyll pill saying it can cleanse your stomach and will give you fresher breath. Of course you know the answer...useless. At age 28. I cought out the first tonsil stones told to another EENT and he said tonsillictomy. I went to another good EENT for second opinio. He was 70 years old and he dont work anymore in the hospital but he was good they said. He told me you will just be wasting your money tonsilll...is not the answer. I retired and grew old listening to patient with the same problem there is no found cure yet . So I waited and came here in the States and as soon as I came here I had an EENT check me and tonsillictomy is his verdict and the rest is history.P.S I dont have nasal odor thank God for that. If I will not talk Im fine.

Oh okay but you know guys this might be my last days of talking to you all. I will be back to work and I dont have that much spare time. Im trying a dairy free diet and of course I dont drink coffee so I dont have problem with that and I will also avoid food that are fermented and doctors said avoid tea also. I will wait until my fluticasone propioponate works or not. I am using it for 4 days alreday and I still have stuffy nose during night time. Lets see if my post nasal drip will stop I think my BB will also go away. I will just hope and pray. I will also try some other methods and I will update you if I will be successful and even if I am cured I will still visit you to help the new sufferrer get cured or give them support. Also please continue to be here on the site if you are not busy so other patient will no be scammed by those manufacturer that are not FDA approved especially the therabreath. BYE>>BYE and I love you all
The raw food diet worked for me 100%. But in order for it to work, I had to really do it right, and had to do it 100%. I could have as much fruit as I wanted, but I also made sure I got lots of hemp hearts, kale, avocado, and other good raw stuff to make sure I could keep on weight.
The fruit didn't give me BB. Sure there are natural sugars, but when I was on this super healthy diet, everything worked perfectly.
SO I highly advocate this.
The only thing is, how is it that other people eat a bunch of garbage and don't have BB? It must be a parasite, or bacteria that doctors don't know about.

ElGrizzle, why did you stop eating raw if you were 100% BB-free? How many weeks/months did it take? Tell us more man, you're the 1st person on this forum to say it worked 100%, most people on this forum and elsewhere all said it cleared their BB 75% to 90%.
I wish i had gotten results as good as yours. Maybe i was doing something wrong, i was eating mostly fruit (lots of bananas, mangos, pineapple). Did you damage your teeth? I'm a firm believer that there is a diet out there that can make everyone BB-free, your experience on raw food might help us find that diet.
The only people who have been cured on this forum recently did it by dieting: either low-carb, no dairy, or raw food. It looks as if BB is nothing more than food allergies, (or oral/dental issues that dentists should be able to fix). It's one or the other imo. The more food allergies you have & the more you eat those foods, the worse your BB is.
