STARTING UNIVERSITY

[trenski]

I will be taking a night class at my local university. This class is only given on campus and not offered online. As I stated before my BB is Chronic. It can be smelled several feet away and without me opening my mouth and also through my nose. I know I will be humiliated and smirked at when class starts. Could anyone give me any suggestions as to how to respond? Should I let everyone in the class know I'm aware of my situation and will be getting treatment as soon as I can or just sit there and take the gestures and rudeness of others. Please any suggestions are appreciated and welcomed. I am having so much anxiety just thinking about going to the registrar's, financial aid, and advisor's office because this requires direct communication and humiliation. I know there is no remedy to help me until I get gum treatment and wisdom teeth extracted; I've tried them all. Any advice. Thanks.

I dont know how helpful this could be for someone with advanced gum disease, but you could try making your own mouthwash using a crushed metronidazole tablet like the other forum member is currently doing. Please try to get them from a doctor though, you never know they may be willing to assist you on this and provide them to you, since you wont be taking it internally so there's none of the side effects.

You could try hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide to help to neutralize the odours. Get hold of a small spray bottle to carry around and fill it from a large bottle of chlorine dioxide to save money cos its quite expensive. You could use chlorhexidine rinse, or one containing zinc lactate or zinc chloride. Triclosan (colgate total) is good too.

go 2 your healthfood store and pick up active mauka honey for around 20 bucks i gargle w/ it and also put some on a piece of toast 3x a day bfore meals and bed i also chew and swallow honey by itself so it coats my mouth/tonsils/throat, i also use it as a sinus flush, and eardops i drink tumeric water too before honey and im having positive results my bf sat right next to me on the sofa when he usually sits on the loveseat i think he couldnt smell my bb from over there like usual so he sat close to me and i could tell he smelled it then w/ me talking in his face but ive only been doing this for 2 days now and i think this is a great start its suppse to take 10 weeks so we'll see and going on a rawfood or candida diet would work well w/ it. im starting a candida diet tommorrow hope this helps.

i really gotta get some hali . what brand do you have? i know they have medical grade stuff . how much do you sinus rinse with ? i got a 3 oz bag of tumeric powder from the Indian store. maybe i'll add to green smoothies . great info

i use active raw organic manuka honey if its active and has a rating of 10 or better than its medical grade the kind i got from my health food store is the same brand as i ordered online through swanson only the online honey had a active rate of 15 and store brought was 12. i only flush in the morning but i have the solution in a eye drop bottle and squeeze 8-10 drops in each nostril about 3-5x a day. i actually like the taste of tumeric surprisingly.
