Ingredients: A product from health food stores called "Flora Balance" a
dietary supplement of Bacillus Laterospores BOD strain. Made by Bio
-tech USA.

An Amish herbalist told me my son had a yeast infection in the lining of his stomach. First we tried the acidopholis but it only worked as long as he took it but when he quite taking it, P.U The Flora Balance worked after 1 bottle. But take it for a while and see the differnce it makes. Also cut out bread, milk (use soy milk), fruit juice and sugars as these breed yeast. Believe me it is worth it! Basically this balances the yeast in your intestins/body. We had tried everything from the time he was 3 years old until he was 18 years old. True bad breath is caused by something more than mouth bacteria. The kind of breath
this kid had could kill a moose! None of his Doctors seemed to understand how devastating this was!

i dont know if anyone watches the show "House" but its really cool as this guy basically figures out everything and always solves the illness in the end. Whenever bad breath comes up it is never a central part of the storyline so its not like he spends much time on it, but the bb is always a result of some greater ilness.

Once there was a guy who had too much copper in his blood and tasted metal all the time which gave him bb. The other day a guy complained of smelling shit in the hospital room and the doctors told him it was comming out his mouth. When they looked inside his mouth his tongue was white and coated. House discovered it was vaginitis, which he contracted after engaging in his favourite pass-time with his girlfriend. The reason his mouth was vulnerable was because his immune system was weakened by something else, which left him open to infection. They got rid of his bb by injecting an anti-biotic into his jaw!

maybe we should write to the producers to make halitosis a central storyline for house to solve. i know its only a show, but this would at least get them researching it as they are very accurate with their medical portrayals.

Yes, we should, they sound very effective!
