Tongue coating is not bacteria, it's Keratin, who knew?

Stankie, believe me, if all you can smell is the smell of smeg then it hasn't worked. Try it a few more times at a few degrees warmer or cooler. When it works you will literally vomit at the smell.

Stankie, I agree with you, but my point is that often I would also get that milder (in comparison) smelling smeggy odour from my experimental samples. It was actually quite a tolerable odour compared to the bad odour, and reminded me of the odour I would mostly get from my left tonsil, which never stunk very much compared to my right tonsil.
I don't know whether it was because of the temperature or whether there was another factor involved. The experiment worked about 30% of the time. I tried it at least 10-15 times.

When you get it right it is a totally repulsive smell that will guarantee to make you gag.

Maybe it only gets this smelly for people with type-1 BB?

Another interesting experiment would be to place an "artificial" tonsil in your mouth somewhere. Something which is roughly the size of a tonsil with a small hole in the side roughly the size of a tonsil crypt opening. If it fills with this oral "smeg" and hardens and calcifies, then there's proof it's collected mouth debris and nothing to do with lymph or the functioning of the tonsil. If not, then maybe not.

Iv mentioned keratin and dekeratinizing agents before, you may remember I posted that I was using salisylic acid that is generally used for facial peels. I put it on my tongue, let it sit less than a minute and then try to wash most of it off. Your turn willnturn white fro the chemical but then in about two days uu can scrape it off and the keratin will come off., as if u did a facial peel but n tongue. Ii use magnfy mirror and cuticle scissors to get the tough ones. Tongue s raelly pink and batd breath is greatly lowered but it always grows bac and. Thin k its because i clean with tngue brush and peroxide every morning. I think I read perxide cause hairy togue. My son has really badly coatec tongue and really bad morning breath, I stped giving hi processedc foods like hotdogs and it hels. Its s bad in the morning but usually withi an hoour there is no bb from him. Sorry for mistyping, using tablet

Didn't dare to open these links when I first saw them because it was your first post and thought they might be dodgy links. Are you sure they're safe?

Jimi, is there a simple way to find out if a link is safe or not? It would be a handy thing to know.

Thanks for that Stankie. I don't think I've ever seen on any public forum an automatic system which can test and verify that links which are posted are safe or not. Nothing which I've ever noticed anyway.
