Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

you probably did have an odor from your tooth that was resolved by your root canal. but if you have smelly chunks in your tonsils, that is probably what continues to give you bb. there may even be another source for bb besides your tonsils and former tooth. we'll see, but whatever your causes, they ...

The dentist I emailed responded. He suggested I find a dentist who specializes in treating bb cases. Honestely, due to the lack of good theories about it and effective treatments available, I didn't know there were dentists who called themselves experts on it. But, as he said, I did find a putativel...

Had a test last night: some food with a good amount of raw garlic and onions, and I failed. I still am not sure I have adequate vitamin D levels yet after only 2 or so weeks of supplemets, but this was a set back. However, the last couple of days I've been looking into exactly how vitamin D would he...

Ok, I guess there is no one on these forums from the Chicago area. So, I just cut and pasted some of your stories that are similar to mine - some of your cases of bb that seem to come from deformation of gum tissue due to wisdom tooth eruption - and I sent them to my nearest oral surgeon, discussing...

Had a big test yesterday with garlic and onion hashbrowns for breakfast and ribs with a garlicy BBQ sauce for dinner. I ate enough garlic that, under normal circumstances, I'd smell like it for over a week. But, a day later, I detect no garlic whatsoever, again. I admit, it was in my mouth a little ...

While I am testing my theory on one form of bb myself (from the lungs) (see post below), I've also started working on my theory for the other form of bb (bacterial/mouth related), which I also suffer from. Treatment for this form of bb would require a new and direct pocedure to cure: I call it gum p...

I've been on vitamin D3 supplements, 8,000 IU/day, for almost a week, now. Had first major test yesterday evening when over at a friends for dinner, who likes to cook with a lot of garlic, and did. I believe the D3 helped, a lot. This morning, I detected hardly any garlic on my breath, whereas, befo...

There are other supplements that are supposed to help with breath and body odours As you say, there are many dietary and herbal supplement sellers out there that make "unsubstantiated" claims for their products. Garlic breath is pretty straightforward, biochemically speaking - sulfides ar...

Hi, This is my third day on vitamin D supplements for my severe susceptibility to garlic breath. I haven't had any major tests yet. I will test myself in a week or so, but I will probably be offered food with a good amount of garlic and onion before then (which I religiously avoid preparing for myse...

I am just wondering whether or not you believe 1000 IU would be enough to make a difference or any kind of impact regarding the theory you've described. I'd like to experiment with this because I cant eat garlic without making my breath of it hours later. I dont mind AT ALL having garlic breath, bu...

I am reducing the dosaging I recommended in the first post. There I said "at least 20,000 IU/day" to start, leveling off at "10,000-20,000 I/U/day." Now, I say, at most, 10,000 IU/day to start; and to level off at, as an upper limit, 5,000-10,000 IU/day. I am making this change b...

I see someone already voted "no". But you have to give this treament at least several days, because vitamin D takes some time to be processed in the body. I just posted this a day or two ago, so I wouldn't expect any results this soon. Remember, also, this is not for bacterial or dental re...

np, I probably needed to say more. Feel free to ask more, too - you and anyone else.

You must have other serious problems. Maybe BB isnt such a big deal for you?...Not sure about anyone else, but I find your story insulting. I still have bb, although I have a good hypothysis, I think, as to what the cure is. Bb affects my life greatly - it is very difficult to withstand the embarra...

If it is just your tonsils, then you are lucky, since getting them removed is a well-known and common procedure. Hope it works for you - and with you coughing up those white, malordorous chunks, it sounds like your tonsils are, indeed, the problem in your case. See, life isn't so bad; the sad thing ...
