Acidophilus
★★★★★
This worked very well thanks! After brushing my teeth and using mouthwash, I then took one high strength probiotic capsule and mixed it into water. I swished it around my mouth and drank it. Then used my toothbrush to try and massage it in. Wife reported in the morning no more bad breath - breath is bad at night and in the morning for me when I awake.
Well, I don't know if you need to mix it in and swish it around your mouth but it worked :) I figure may as well try and improve the whole mouth flora at the same time.

Here my story of "Bad Breath" I been using ever thing to baking soda, limes and water mix together, to flossing every time I brush my teeth, and using mouthwash. Until I came across this website. I read all the message and could not believe the result on Acidophilus. So I got up ran and picked up Acidophilus (4 billion). l can already tell the difference. The bad taste in my mouth has started to leave. Will keep you posted later for bad breath results.

I read your answers and saw that may people talked about probiotics and that some people dont have so much good bacteria and bad bacteria are more in their body. I said to my husband I ll take probiotics, so I bought ACIDOPHILUS 4BILLION. From the first day my taste was better.. my bad breath comes from the tongue when I licked my wrist it was smelly! Now NOTHING!! I take 2-3pills per day.its not a medicine its vegan and doesnt contain dairy. It helps with digestion and balances the bacteria in your body, I m going to the bathroom everyday! I watch my diet very much cause when I eat to much or drink alcohol more than two glasses of wine bad breath comes back, I lick my wrist and I know it. I take one pill after a while its gone. So I eat less every three hours, I have more healthy diet, I eat fruits and vegetables, I eat yogurt and kefir that contains probiotic. I did believe that my bad breath was coming from my mouth but I went to see a dentist and said that its not from my mouth. also check very good your tonsils for tonsil stone I found a crypt with a tonsil stone and now I clean it everyday With clorexidine with a q tip.My bad breath comes from bad bacteria in my body!! So the solution for me is ACIDOPHILUS. I ll try 8billion now. I m doing this 20days now I asked both my parents and my husband and said not bad breath anymore, I went to my job from the first time without chewing a gum! I'm feeling much better now! Also my mother told me that when someone is rubbing his nose doesn't seem that your breath smells.
I hope I helped! Don't be ashamed!! People say bad things because they know nothing!!! They think that your not watching your hygiene! Well prove them wrong!! Try probiotics!

Hi sorry for my late answer. I use acidophilus and bifidus 8 billion from now foods, but the first three months I used acidophilus 4 billion plus from health aid. I liked more from health aid maybe I stick to that. My tongue is pinker now and I clean it everyday with Ora brush. I have a tonsil that has a crypt, when I eat junk food or cheese the next day has a little tonsil stone. I check it everyday, twice day when I brush and clean it with a q-tip. I believe the very bad breath was from that. I am calm now with this problem! Don't panic, you'll find the answer to your problem, the best thing you can do, TALK to your parents, siblings, boyfriend, girlfriend, the person you are close to. I hope I helped!

Thank you so much for your honest heartfelt comment. I am in your that same position with people rubbing their noses but no one cared about me enough to tell me honestly that my breath was bad. It would have spared me years of people talking about me. I will purchase this tomorrow.
Thank you and I am happy life is better for you.

I'm a green juicer and maybe that was causing my bad breath. Oil pulling helps a bit, but, not enough. So, last week I went to the health store and bought Acidophilus (3 billion) and within 20 minutes my bad breath was gone.... I take two daily.
Usually when I get up in the morning I have bad breath... Not anymore!!!! I'm over the moon happy. I still brush with baking soda and swish with organic coconut oils... But, I finally solved my issue!
I haven't had bad breath since buy acidophilus. I wish I had know years ago. I also foundout that diary and sugar gives you bad breath.
Thank you! Love

I just started taking a strong form of Acidophilus from that I got from a Holistic Health & Nutrition advisor. She told me my symptoms sounded like I had been infected with Candida throughout my body. So I researched and came across people who had extremely bad breath from a Candida overgrowth in their esophagus. An endoscopy showed white patches all over their esophagus! I went to an ENT and he offered to schedule an endoscopy to verify (he openly doubted it was Candida) and urged me to continue the probiotic because he was shocked it was alleviating some of my IBS symptoms so quickly.
I am taking 4 pills a day instead of the two because I have such terrible IBS symptoms- constipation, bloating, indigestion, gas, stomach pains, occasional cramping and the horrible bad breath. The symptoms aren't totally gone but it's so much better than before! I no longer have an awful taste in my mouth. The white coating isn't on my tongue. My morning breath is tolerable.
Side note- I've tried several different natural methods without a long-lasting result. Oil pulling with different oils, cayenne pepper in warm water, hot water with lemon, chorella, Zinc, high dosages of Vitamin C, peppermint capsules, etc. These methods weren't working for me because they don't kill Candida.

Can acidophilus be used for an 11 year old? My daughter has terrible breath. She also has stinky feet when she wears tennis shoes and socks all day, but there is no peeling or itching like athletes foot. She also has a plantars wart on her foot near her big toe and the one next to it. We had a doctor 'remove' it with the cautery method 2 and half years ago. It seemed to have gone away for awhile, but now it's getting larger and isn't reacting to salicyc acid. I found this site last night searching about the banana peel method, so we are going to try that. I was just wondering if there is something internal like a virus that is causing the bad breath, stinky feet, and wart susceptibility? Any suggestions would be great.

For the plantar's wart, there are two different methods you can try (look them up on YouTube, it's easy):
1) apply a strip of duct tape to cover the wart (Mercola wrote about this recently), and leave it on. Change it every day or two.
or
2) make a little paste of baking soda and castor oil; rub it into the wart and then cover the wart with a Bandaid. Change 2x/day.
I did a combo of both methods and my wart was gone in less than 2 weeks!

CANDIDA OVERGROWTH IS THE CAUSE!
You have to kill the candida first and then take the probiotics. Candida is hard to kill and you need something very strong like Black walnut hull tincture. I followed many of the remedies here to alleviate candida and white tongue and nothing worked until I did a serious bowel/candida cleanse as follow:
Dr. Clark Clark Bowel Cleanse + Oregano oil
Duration: 25 days
Breakfast:
Black walnut hull tincture (20 min before breakfast)
Drink a cup of hot water before breakfast
Take 3 caps of turmeric (500mg)
Take 3 caps fennel (450mg)
1 caps of digestive enzymes
Take 2 caps of betaine (350mg)
Take 1 cap of Cascara sagrada (350mg)
1 empty cap with 5 drops of oregano oil.
Lunch:
Take 3 caps of turmeric (500mg)
Take 3 caps fennel (450mg)
1 cap of digestive enzymes
Take 2 caps of betaine (350mg)
1 cap of magnesium oxide
Dinner:
Take 3 caps of turmeric (500mg)
Take 3 caps fennel (450mg)
1 cap of digestive enzymes
Take 2 caps of betaine (350mg)
1 cap of magnesium oxide
1 empty cap with 5 drops of oregano oil.
Between Meals
Lugols iodine: 6 drops, 4 times a day in glass of water
Doses:
BWH tincture: day 1 to 5: 1 tbsp every day in COLD water
Days 8,12,16,20 and 24: 3 tbsp everyday in COLD water
This bowel cleanse is very effective because uses anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal agents. Candida works in conjunction with parasites and bacteria.
After this cleanse then you need to take a strong probiotic formula to make sure your intestinal flora and fauna is balanced. (find an 8 strand formula of at least 10 billion).
Hope this helps! It helped me a lot.

I cannot thank you enough for the information you have given about Acidophilus, as I have suffered humiliation for many years about my bad breath. I notice a difference after just 3 days. I would ask you to ask your friend if he knows, is there a point where we reach a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria or do we just continue taking the acidophilus?

Activated Charcoal

And the depression is over because of bad breath especially after taking in sweet things eg. Juice/ sweets or even food.
It's a miracle come true after many years of trying all manner of mouth wash.
I bought a tin of charcoal from the market, crushed a few pieces into powder then add a glass of water then sieved & drunk thrice A day for two days.
The bad breath emitting from my saliva & digestive system was over.
I thank God for you.
Let others know charcoal is an instant miracle for BB.
Indeed God has provided everything we need on earth ...Glory to God we are healed & will continue taking a glass per week.

Hi buddy, could you please articulate the matter of charcoal? Was it a food grade charcoal that you took? or just normal BBQ charcoal crushed and taken? I took pills of activated charcoal for my BB from saliva/digestive system enzyme I think which is persisting for 15 years or more but did not work. What is the difference between activated charcoal and normal charcoal? Is there any health risk to take that what you took u think?

Dear Mauri,
The only charcoal that should be used internally or topically is activated charcoal. It may be powdered or in capsules or tables.
The charcoal used for cooking usually contains other chemicals.
If charcoal didn't work for bad breath, perhaps try liquid chlorophyll?

Health shop sells black activated charcoal toothpaste in its own right. I used 1 tablet of activated charcoal daily but find that whenever I eat ice cream, sweet or even chew gum bad breath comes back. So I started to use 1 tablet of acidophilus 3billoin today.
I want to be able to eat any food without thinking of bad breath, I am hoping that both activated charcoal and acidophilus will work better.
Having said that activated charcoal have worked though but I just wanted a complete cure.

21 yr olds can be picky about what they will try . He might like some popcorn 1/4 cup popped in 1 TBSP coconut oil .Cold pressed is best, I buy large tub at costco, sprinkle sea salt on it and serve with some lemon water.
Activated charcoal would be used at bedtime 2-4 capsules with at least 16 ounces of water . Sleep like a baby. Vinegar is not tasty but you could use capful to cup of water with bit of honey drink through a straw, I"m having it for daily breakfast, YUCK. At bedtime brush teeth gently with small amount of baking soda, very gently...then make a paste of 1/4 tsp each of ~baking soda and coconut oil and apply to teeth and swallow whatever comes off but leave on overnight .
Small bowl of kefir 1/4 cup with a 1/4 cup of fruit to sweeten should reestablish his gut flora after using the charcoal at bedtime.
A bath with some epsom salt (magnesium ) might help him detox his body a bit . Even a foot soak with the salt would work. Loosens up the bowels and helps body with mineral balance.

Hello,
I have started my son on Activated Charcoal 1 tsp - once a day. He is 21, overweight and has had a very poor diet for the longest time.
My questions:
- How many times a day should I give the A.charcoal?
- What dosage?
- How many days/weeks/months?
- Are there are any long term side effects that anyone has noticed?
- Is the cure from Bad breath permanent?
Thank you.

Dear Priya,
Some people use activated charcoal daily for years. The two biggest concerns would be constipation (always take with plenty of water) and the removal of probiotics from the gut (not sure if this actually happens, but caution should be taken by eating yogurt or probiotic foods daily.)
The 1 teaspoon a day you have been giving sounds reasonable if it seems to suit him.
If the cause of bad breath is not addressed this will not be a permanent cure. If a poor diet is the cause, that would need to be addressed for the cure to be permanent.
One of my sons once had a chronic onion smell for no reason we could tell. I gave him bentonite clay internally for a while and it cleared it up and it did not return. I never knew the cause; it was not from eating onions. He was only 9 or so at the time.
I hope he listens well to you and that you both see results soon!

I wanted to chime in regarding using regular charcoal for ingestion.... IMO you would be taking serious risks by putting this in your system. Activated is charcol is readily available and cost effective so why would you even consider such craziness. I'm sure the grilling charcol is loaded with toxins and adjunts that I personally would not suggest ingesting on any level.

Perhaps there are different varieties of charcoal for cooking. The only ones I know of are NOT suitable for internal use.
Charcoal used for medicine needs to be activated (purified.) I give activated charcoal to my children - 1 capsule a day with 6 ounces of water as needed.

Hi, I have been suffering chronic BB for 5 years to the extent that I resigned from my job and lost an opportunity to work abroad. I have suffered so much humilation and people will almost laugh at me everytime they smelled my stinking breath. I was diagnosed with ulcer, hiatal hernia, gastritis, esophagitis, and doudenitis. I've been taking prescriptions but my bb is still there. I went to ENT to have my throat and nose examined and the doctor found out that I have tonsil stones that smelled like "poo". I was able to remove it and cleanse my tonsils after brushing and rub with a mixture of salt, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. I tried so many remidies like brushing, flossing, oil pulling, liquid chlorophyll, gargling with 50% water and 50% hydrogen peroxide after meals, but my breath would still stink. I have seek an alternative medicine and the doctor told me that I have to cleanse my system with fruits and vegetables especially "raw and green" to detoxify my body. Strickly no meat, white breads, pasta, sweets, fried foods, soda, and dairy foods. He advised me to drink organic, green vegetable smoothie with fruits everyday especially in the morning on an empty stomach. I also take "activated charcoal capsules" in a glass of warm water 4 times a day, 2 hours before meal. And I noticed my breath has improved and I can talk to people face to face. Thanks to the wonders of nature "green veges and fruits", "activated charcoal" (please google search activated charcoal for more info) and, "internet" for the priceless information. God is good all the time. Cheers! :)

Activated Charcoal, Eliminating Grains
★★★★★
I have tried hydrogen peroxide, acidophilus and liquid chlorophyll. But none had the immediate effects that the activated charcoal had along with eliminating grains (accept flaxseed) from my diet.
I take 3 capsules a 2-3 hours before bed with a large glass of water.
One day, I was grocery shopping and was hungry so I decided to buy my favorite sushi at the sushi bar. I ate it then went to work and my breath smelled bad. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then tried to mask the odor with mint gum but it did not help. I realized then that the rice in the sushi was most likely the cause and eliminated rice from my diet.
It's been about a month now any my breath is much improved. I am thankful for the sushi incident because it pinpointed the rice as one of the causes for the bad breath. When I went back grocery shopping, I bought smoke salmon and ate it without any strong after affects.
I am blood type o + and my current diet consists of vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, fruit and flaxseed, which some might consider Paleo. I have eliminated dairy, wheat, and grains, (accept flaxseed). I hope that this information benefits someone.

Hi Flori, did you have the bad smells coming out of your nose is why you started the change or was it just the white coating of the tongue? What vodka did you use? How long have you made this change to know it is not temporary? When I say temporary I mean like a couple of hours, if it last the whole day and then some then that would be great. Please let me know. Thanks.
