.40% chlorhexidine cure?
Re: .40% chlorhexidine cure
The 0.4% product [edit: it’s actually 4%] will likely be detrimental to oral tissues, though apparently safe for most people for skin cleansing. Definitely not a cure for anything!

It’s well known that for oral bacteria, the back of the tongue is the most problematic, due likely to limited access. Therefore it could be that targeting that area with a stronger concentration would be effective, but I doubt it’d be 100% eradication, especially if the person has had the problem over many years, several decades.
These anaerobic bacteria become very resistant over time, and may repopulate quickly, often in minutes. There’s also evidence that overuse of CH oral will result in resistance.
I’m not acquainted with your history, but unless your particular case is relatively recent, I’d see it more as a problem to be managed rather than cured.

I really have nothing to say about why your anonymous professor would say anything. For all I know it might be sound advice, but I’ve never heard or read that advice before. Maybe ask that person?
What’ve I tried? Oh, lots of things over the years with varying degrees of success.
The biggest single thing I did that caused a significant improvement was to get my periodontitis (gum disease) treated. Expensive but necessary.
That, though, still didn’t make my bb go away. The rest is just managing my oral environment.
I do the usual dental hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, plus I use my electric toothbrush on the back of the tongue.
My daily mouthwash is Therabreath Maximum Strength, at least 2-3 times a day, or as needed.
In close social proximity situations I use a 50/50 mix of Therabreath and chlorhexadine, deep throat gargle at least 30-45 seconds.
