Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Around 1994 (no internet yet) i read about TMAU and some research/discoveries being done at St. Mary's hospital in London on the subject. I wrote to them and gave them a very detailed description of myself, and asked whether i could be tested. Based on the info i gave them, they wrote back saying i ...

Does BB from TMAU come from the lungs?

(i have just been researching this and it is apparently saliva)

When you look inside the mouth and think about the nasal cavity and sinuses etc, its quite amazing that anyone manages to be free of BB. The natural (and relatively simple) system which normally ensures this, works very efficiently IN EVERY MOUTH as long as there are no situations which prevent that...

A "magic cure" for halitosis would be a commercial disaster. That's the only reason why it hasnt happened yet.

Hi azishazi, when im referring to mucus im referring to the stuff that the nose produces of which some comes out of the front of the nose and some drains down the back and into the throat area (PND). In the mouth its generally just saliva because we swallow and prevent this mucus in the thoat from e...

hi malena, Yes we BOTH need a dentist (god i hate dentists and doctor's surgeries tho, ive developed a phobia for sure) The reason why keeping it clean isnt a fix in itself is because no matter how sterile we try to make it, its still an aneroobic area and the germs soon resume their festering, just...

LOL FFS i didnt mean to do a smiley there, its meant to say thirty-eight

hi malena and azishazi, All i know right now is that i have had 2 upper widsom teeth extracted (at age 23), i have 2 remaining, one which is still below the gum (horizontally impacted), the other is partially erupted with lots of gum around it forming an anaerobic pocket around it which allows anaer...

Have a read of my posting "wisdom" teeth under MY STORY - my advice to you is once you are 100% convinced that your teeth/gums can be eliminated as possible causes, then see about having a tonsillectomy. Tonsillitis is infection of the tonsils with streptococus bacteria, which is guarantee...

Hi there, Sounds like something is going on in your nasal/sinus cavity, having odourous mucus like that is definitely not something normal that you should just be made to accept, you could have chronic sinusitis that didnt clear with the antibiotics because the underlying reason maybe hasnt been add...

Hi malena, I recently joined too, and even though i knew there are others with my problem, since i found this site its like seeing everything from a new perspective, and its just allowing me to feel "human" amongst other people sharing the same plight. I hope you get the same positive effe...

Hi Snobuni, If i remember correctly you said you had upper un-errupted impacted wisdom teeth? Im not sure whether un-errupted wisdom teeth have more likelihood of invading sinuses, but thinking about it it seems much more likely. Sinusitis usually occurs when the sinus drainage becomes blocked (devi...

If only we could unscrew our heads huh, lol... thanks for replying asd, i just dont think we're gonna find the "magic cure" for halitosis for a while.. if it was as simple as all the magic potions people are taking, we'd all be cured here by now, but the truth is NO ONE IS OR HAS BEEN COMP...

hi Snobuni,

please take a look at my posting "wisdom" teeth as i've replied to some of your questions there regarding sinuses/PND.

hi snobuni.. until we're ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN there are no dental causes we must persue this until we are as its the most common cause of all.. but did u read my reply to you concerning your sinuses? u didnt mention anything on that, so i thought i'd just remind you. By the way if anyone would like to...
