Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi all,

Just found this site and am really excited about trying to find a proper permanent cure.

I've had bad breath and strong BO all my life - a totally crippling combination. And as I've become more aware of how bad my smells are I'm finding myself becoming more and more reclusive.

Anyway, in Australia they have a product called Breezecare which I've been using for a couple of years now. I'm unsure if its *really* helping my BB, but its definitley having positive results on some symptoms of mine. In the morning when I wake up I always have a monstrously thick white coating, and my sense of smell is completley gone - I can't smell a thing.

Breeze have recently come out with a slightly stronger version of their products called the "Balance" set and when I use it and scrub the shit out of my tongue, while also flushing out my nasal passages, I've noticed a much pinker tongue and a better sense of smell. I still have to brush my teeth and tongue at lunch with this daily routine, but its a small price to pay for the improvements.

Its true i still see people scratching their noses and backing away slightly, but i suspect that's partly to do with my BO.

I just thought I'd post as i've noticed a lot of posts here, but not too many metioning these BLIS good bacteria products.

My next steps after reading this forum is to start with probiotics (Inner health plus and Yakult) and I want to give that hydrogen peroxide thing a shot.

Good luck to us all,

Gesundheit!

Hi Never_Bn_Kissed and welcome to the forum,

I'm a newbie also. I don't often post although I'm usually reading all of the postings whenever I have a chance. Finding this site has been a God-send for me. I've never tried Breezecare products and have tried some of the others like Therabreath and Breath Rx without much succes. I'm currently using the tung brush and also the Tung w/zinc toothpaste. This really cleans my tongue thoroughly. My breath isn't any better. I thought it was originating from my tonsils, but, I'll check into some of the other things from this post.

I noticed that you have BO and I once had this problem from a ruptured ovarian cyst. It caused auto-toxicity and as a result BO and BB. I've gotten rid of the BO but the BB has been present ever since. This was 16 years ago. A lady at my church at the time took me to a natural healthcare spa and I had a detoxifying body wrap, I'm not sure if it was the bentonite clay that she spread on me, but, it was a brownish gray colored clay or mud. She wrapped me in the suran wrap and put a warm blanket over top of me and I lay still for an hour. In addition, I did a colon cleanse for 21 days right after. Since that time, I haven't had any problems with BO.

I have had 2 other body wraps over the last 16 years and continue to take colon cleansers off and on. One thing that I also do on occasion is take detoxifying baths with 1 cup of Epsom salt, 1/2 cup of sea salt, 5 drops of tea tree oil, and a cap full of lavendar Bathe Therapy w/minerals. I chose to put the lavendar in the bath just for relaxation purposes and tea tree is a natural antiseptic, you can choose your own scents or none at all. I brush my skin with a dry brush before getting into the bath and soak for 20 minutes and then take a regular shower afterwards. The ingredients are inexpensive. It will make you feel funny as the heat from the tub and the salts draw out toxins. You should feel really tired and sleep well if nothing else. This is how I felt after the bodywrap, please have someone else drive if you do the bodywrap at a spa. Hopefully this may help with your BO, if not, please try a detoxifying body wrap.

The baths come in various combinations so please google detoxifying baths or go to: http://www.ourlittleplace.com/detox.html. I've searched many sites, and this one is the only one that I found that really shows the different combinations you can try.

I keep all of us in my prayers and pray the Lord for a miracle.
Just reading the posts saddens me how we are all searching for cures, are so misunderstood, and made fun of inspite of how well we take care of ourselves.

Me too, What type of bo did you have what was the smell was it strong.... Can you ask the health spa what type of clay or mud they used..... Thanks

Hi latrice2828,

I smelled like a musty bull within minutes after taking a shower. It was very strong and people naturally rejected me as though I wasn't taking a bath. I had the body wrap 16 years ago and I don't know if the spa is still there. I don't live there any more, but, I'll see what I can find out.

Hi latrice2828,

I searched to find the spa (Lifestyles) that I went to 16 years ago and didn't see it. I had the bodywrap done in Hawaii so I took the time to look at some of the sites for various spas in that area. They are currently using seaweed ground into a paste that's brown in color and also manne mud for detoxification. I still can't say for sure what was used on me, but, either is worth trying for BO.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Me too..

You're welcome Latrice2828. It will be well deserved pampering and a great stress reliever also. Find a holistic health spa if you can, they tend to be more understanding. The bodywraps are not overly expensive. Just watch your pockets with all the additional items they sell.
