At the very least, what we could use is a reliable, portable electronic device that gives accurate measurements of the volatile sulfur compounds in our breath, like a breathalizer. There are a myriad of causes for bb, but the actual chemicals that cause the smell are just a few. At least we could us...

The general rule of thumb is wait a week or more before posting a "success" story. But don't be embarrassed about false cures. We've all been there.

Thanks for all the replies/advice. I have been using caffeine pills (and a few energy drinks) since last Friday. I am using the drug store pills similar to Vivarin (200 mg). To get more of a timed release, I break them up into four pieces and take one every 2 hours. It's not as strong as coffee thou...

How about using a water pik back there rather than the toothbrush? That might cause less of a gag reflex.

I know coffee makes my breath bad, but I need the caffeine at work. I've tried tea, and it also makes my breath bad, but not as bad as coffee. I've heard some people get bb relief when they give up caffeine entirely. Is it the caffeine or the acids in the coffee/tea/cola that make it bad? Maybe it's...

I know zinc and vitamin C reduce copper levels. You don't want it to go too low though. Copper prevents aneurysms and strokes.

To check your breath odor, lick the inside of your wrist. Not with the tip of your tounge, but farther back. Wait about 15-20 seconds and then smell the area once it is dry. That smell will usually last until you wash it off. That only works for some kinds of bb. Doesn't work for me, since mine is ...

Just the other day before getting a haircut, I could smell my breath for a second after I sat down and started talking. It usually happens when it mixes with unfamiliar air, so it temporarily gets by my smell "censor".

I think something got lost in translation. I'm just squirting water into the tonsil crypts to remove tonsil stones. A lot of people do this. It is harmless. I think you wash your tonsil crypts with use an injector. I'm using a small dental irrigating syringe, like this one . It is designed for gum ...

Tom's of Maine has some good natural mouthwashes with zinc chloride. I decided to switch to their latest one, Wicked Fresh, from what I'm using now. Now that I'm keeping the tonsils clean, I don't seem to need those oxygenating mouthwashes anymore.

>Sory, do you inject water into tonsil tissue ? Yes. I try to flush out the tonsil stones by injecting water into the crypts. No. Dont do this. You may seriously fail your health. Please leave water injections in your tonsil. - Murat I think something got lost in translation. I'm just squirting wat...

btw, i read that dairy meals could enhance the tonsil stone problem. I've cut down on dairy for awhile now. No milk, not much cheese, a little butter. It seems to reduce the size of the tonsil stones, but not the smell. Maybe over time they go away completely. But in the meantime, flushing them out...

I fill the syringe with warm water. I haven't tried anything else so far. Adding GSE drops or salt to the water might be worth a try. Then I use a small LED flashlight while looking in the mirror and try to insert the syringe tip into one of the tonsil crypt openings. Then I move my head over the s...

I got an email for an ebook on tonsil stones from the guy pushing the cryptolysis web site. I didn't give out my email to be spammed.
