lungs?

[austuser]

im just throwing shit out there, i dont know anything about anatomy. But the lungs are like the primary organ for respiration. This is where oxygen is drawn in and CO2 is expelled. Does anyone have any knowledge to prove bad breath can not come from the lungs?

its late and im bored.

In some cases it can, for example garlic's odor is directly emitted from the lungs. It may be possible that our condition has something to do with it too, but it's hard to get any evidence.

I think garlic comes from the pores too, not just the lungs. I've actually read somewhere that garlic made really good progress with people with bad breath since it's an anti-bacterial or something. Obviously you can't just eat it because... well, it's garlic! It does come in pill forms, i've tried it before but at the time i didnt have bad breath, so i'm not sure if does anything good. Well worth the shot anyway, right?

CO2 will not produce the odor, Garlic produce the odor because it has Sulfur compounds, after processing by our body produce th sulfide or other smelly product. The lung is a source for bad breath. I have been carefully investigating my body, my bad beath does not come from my tongue and not from the liver. The sources left are: nose, thoat, lungs, and digestive system.

Even though, the studies say 90% of the bad breath come from the tonque, in case of chronic like the one we have come from another source lungs could be one of them. THis is why I believe we are failing to solve our problem, we are concentrating, in the mouth because it is the most visible part.

A couple of lung options:

1.
(copied from a Halitosis report:)
"Re: halitosis and lung abscess

I was surprised to see that this review of halitosis did not mention lung abscess.

Most chest physicians (particulary the more senior) are well aware of the very pronounced and foul smelling halitosis associated with lung abscess to the extent it was almost regarded as a diagnostic sign."


2.There is also the kind of vague "Leaky Gut Syndrome",
the theory being that digestive walls let through certain
compounds which it shouldn't, for example stinky gases
from the lower digestive system, it then goes via the blood
stream and is noticed in exhaled air.
Don't consider this *Fact* though, it's just a theory.
The mentioned garlic-induced gases go that route:
via the digestive system into the blood stream, out through
pores and exhaled air. Normally other gases do not, though.
I guess if anyone has noticed a connection between the
stench of their "digestive gases" and your BB we could be
onto something
