Helicobacter pylori and mastic gum

[jess]

Hi everyone,
During my research about halitosis, I've found some pretty interesting information. First of all it looks like the bacteria helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) could be involved in the cause of chronic bad breath. So I think it's a good idea that everyone suffering from bb should get tested for h. pylori, since eradicating the bacteria through a triple therapy COULD also means eliminating chronic bb. There are many web pages that contains information regarding this subject, and this is one of them: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/quer ... t=Abstract

Another thing I've heard of is mastic gum. It is said to be good for bad breath and the elimination of h. pylori. So please everyone do some research on h pylori and mastic gum and see if we can come up with something helpful. Thank you

It is so great to see people like jess and halitopen put up some worthwhile information .They are truly getting behind the root cause ,the same research that I have been doing.Keep up the great work.This is what I think this board can be of most value.If other people post like this it may trigger some useful conversation and that I believe is where the cure is.One of us will figure ot out.
I have two theories on H plori in relation to bb.The bacteria itself does not cause bb but it may prevent your bacteria from rebalancing itself, or it could be as simple as the three anribiotics given for the h plori bacteria also get rid of the anerobic bacteria that cause bb I dont think the latter is very plausable bacause once you stop the antibiotics im sure the bad breath would come back,but you never know
Talk to you later,
Keep up the solid information

Hi Jimi:
It's LJ the moderator of breathelp4u, and I was just reading Traylor's post and wondered why it is locked and I cannot make a response.
Also, I've been out of town, not able to get to the chats, what is going on there, are we getting chatters?
I won't be back for another week, but I hope the chat is going well.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think Traylor was just trying to help, and his experience is certainly worthy of our interest. I don't know if I have actually read about anyone going thru all those tests, and I would like to know the results.
I realize his remark about the money teed you off, and I know that you have put so much time and money into this, and believe me it is not overlooked.
I thank you for all the interviews and this site, but don't take too much offense if someone is offering up a suggestion.
By the way, have you ever talked to Mel Rosenberg?
