Bad breath products that dont work

I've suffered from chronic halitosis for a little over a decade and a half. I'm one of the lucky ones I guess because my bad breath started right after high school. So I didn't have to go through the bad jokes and insults...until later on.
I don't know what triggered it, but I can tell you it ruined my college experience and all the years that lead to the mid 30s. In short, the best years of anyone's life.
Over the years I've learned that there is no single bad breath treatment out there that will work on the long term. It took me a while to understand that the reason these treatments didn't have an effect that lasted over a week was because anaerobic bacteria is highly adaptive.
When I started the latest treatment that promised the moon, I simply eliminated the weaker strains of bacteria. Because these weaker strains represent the majority of germs that cause bad breath, I only got the illusion of a cure.
All the while the stronger strains resisted, adapted, and reproduced a new generation of bacteria completely resistant to the treatment.
The result is simply a bad breath treatment that looses its effect progressively until it simply no longer works at all. Anyone who suffers from chronic halitosis know this to be true.
Treatments such as Closys, Breezecare, Oramd, and the many others that are widely advertised over the net and promise instant results DO NOT WORK. The best ones will bring relief for about a week at most.
The only way to deal with these bacteria is by switching treatment on a regular basis. Of course the trick is not to alternate too often. By doing this, you'll only create super resistant strains of bacteria.
This advice is for people who's bad breath is caused by an oral imbalance in the mouth only.
