Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hello all,
I've been suffering from CH for about 12 years now. I won't go into the aspect of my life which talks about how I came to know, or embarrassing social situations. It is pretty much the same as any other CH sufferers. We are living a constant night mare. My oral health according to my dentist is very good (ie no cavaties, pockets). I keep up with cleanings every 6 months. But yet I still have CH. I have tried a vast array of products such as thera breath, breath rx; but all without any results. I chew about 14 pieces of chewing gum in a day, constantly drink water as well. I've even visited the Ora Fresh Clinic run by Anne Bosey in Toronto. My experience there wasn't all that fulfilling. First off I never actually got to see Anne. I asked them if I could be treated by Anne; they told me that she does not see patients and is only dedicated to research. Instead I was stuck with a hygienist; not to take anything away from her, but c'mon she's a hygienist, I paid $300 dollars to see a hygienist. She conducted a series of test and took swabs and floss samples from all over my mouth. Put me on Flagyl (not to sure about the spelling, in essence it is metronidazole mixed with niltstat) rinse for 2 weeks 3 times a day. I went back after 2 weeks and she told me that my breath was still the same. Then she put me on a chlorhexadine rinse and was skeptical. She told me I might have to see a medical doctor, either an ENT or digestive specialist. I asked her if she could refer me to one; she said that she didn't know of any. What kind of business is Anne running? I don't understand; I don't mean to bash her business practices; but it just seemed like she gave up on me.
Moving on to my next experience; I visited my family doctor; in hopes of getting a referral to a specialist. This experience was even worse:
When I told him about my CH it seemed as if I just ruined his day. He seemed very angry as if I was wasting his time. He took my medical history. I told him everything from the start etc. He prescribed me Omeprazole, which I believe is for heart burn and ulcers, which I never even complained about. He asked me about my sinuses; I told him it always feels like there's something stuck back there. His response was "there you go, you have sinusitis." Fine if I do have sinusitis, then where's the treatment for that? I walked away with Omeprazole!!!! He ordered a series of lab test from blood-work to swabs. He put down HIV test as well??????? He asked me to breathe into his face, he told me that he didn't not smell anything. This was my fault as I had just brushed and used mouthwash before visiting him (which for some reason I cannot avoid doing; a security habbit i guess.) He ended by saying that if he can't find an answer after reviewing the lab results he might refer me to a psychiatrist. ????????? I have an appointment with him tomorrow and will post the results.

You see they all follow the same procedure, they try to experiment with you, try few chemicals they have in stock, then refer you to specialist and at the same time they wash their hand by saying they dont smell anything. At the same time they label you as a unstabilized menthally ill person who need a shrink.

I knew that Anne Cryptkeeper Bosy is just an old cunt. It is all about the money. That old decomposing cunt does not have any cure at all, she either uses CH rinse or some antibiotic.

I mean how can these people lie to our face, these ****ing monsters.

She would sell her own babies for money, bt probably she never had them because she is an ugly old toothless twat.

***k her

I removed some sticky posts about these monsters and people don't read it and og to these monsters who charge them a lot.

I will put those stickies back where they belong

Same story with here as well.

Did the hygienist check the results of the chlorhexidine?

I HATE HATE HATE when they tell us it is all in our heads!!! I feel like chocking them, do they care how we have to live like this!!!!

I know what you mean, my ENT lied to me in my face by telling me she didn't smell anything. I thought she was a rather nice lady, but the lying just ticked me off.

No. I never went back to bosey's practice; as the hygienist was skeptical before putting me on the chlorhexidine. Plus I asked my mom for a breath check while i was on the chlordexidine and after, she said that it was the same. So I really didn't feel like shelling out another $180 for a follow up. I went back to my family doctor for the follow up. He found that I have vit D deficiency and an iron overload. So he has referred me to a doctor of internal medicine. SHOULD I GO?
I mean hello where's the treatment for the sinusitis??? Will this be another dead end?
He made me a copy of his notes and all the lab results so that i could pass it on to the next doctor. It reads: "Patients life has been impaired by his BELIEF that he has halatosis.....His belief is not based on people telling him. It is based on his feeling....." what the f*&^? I told him that people had told me plus I can feel a bad taste in my mouth. What a F%&king jerk. Someone please reply. Should I go?

I think GP doctors have lost all smelling senses, or take a drug to paralyse their smelling senses. Because when I went to GP for sinus problems and explained to here my symtoms include "bad bad breath" she took a stick and told me to say ahhhh and said it looks okay I cant smell anything. The very moment I step out into reception, I will have people violently cough, and vigarouly rub their noises and always look in my direction. I myself can even sense My breath smells of something rotting cos my throat feels so thick. Worst is when someone 50 metres away can smell your bb down the road violently coughs and spits

it is just a clever game they are playing, and they enjoy so much when theya write you think you have bb.

FUCKERS!
