Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

HG, Referring to my candida post? None of the things you said reflect my attitudes, but sorry anyway for offence. My reason for starting the post by saying only give arguments with referenced statements was that I was expecting a flood of links to questionable websites, but actually ppl being quite ...

My mum had oral thrush last year and I couldnt smell a thing on her breath. She was given Nystin drops (Nystatin) and it cleared quickly. She is suffering with long-term health problems. The Oral Chroma tester measures dimethylsulphide levels. Can this not be used as a simple way to determine wheth...

Hi HG yes, metro has action against anaerobic bacteria, and these are the culprits of VSC production in intraoral halitosis. However, it did start initially as a antifungal. Nystatin would be an example of an antifungal that does not follow that nomenclature however. I'm not a microbiologist, so he ...

Hi Aydinmur, out of CO2, acids and alcohols, would any of these end products be capable of causing malodor under physiological pH? I definately believe you that a Candida culture would smell, but would or candidiasis be capable of producing this same odor in vivo? I personally think this is a differ...

Hi Halitosisux thanks for link, there is nothing too detailed here about mechanism of action...nothing that hints that it might be bactericidal in addition, so I don't have any explanation (apart from placebo affect, which can be very marked). At least the page says it is a safe drug to use: "I...

"Jimi"- you are a really horrible human being and I hope I never have to meet you

I originally thought candida was the cause of my bb but antibiotics always cured me of bb so now I'm not sure for me it is the cause. But I do believe I have a dybosis from not enough good bacteria or too many bad bacteria along with the candida. I believe too many negative organisms including cand...

Yea my own theory is that candida overgrowth is causing my halitosis. Mine literally happened overnight. As a matter of fact I was awake when my problem started and hasn't gone away since. Not to be judgmental, but that history does sound a bit strange... Please read my arguments above, especially ...

Very good. But I wonder why lufenuron has cured or improved BB for some members? Maybe it's due to hidden/undiagnosed candidiasis or other yeast "infections" of the esophagus or sinuses, that have improved or cleared up. Firstly, I don't know what lufenuron is... (a brand name for some an...

One more thing:

Indeed, one paper reported low Candida albicans carriage rates in halitosis patients. [21]

(Candida is oral commensal organism in about 40% of the general population)

sorry, here are the refs: 21^ a b Ben-Aryeh, H; Horowitz, G; Nir, D; Laufer, D (1998 Jan-Feb). "Halitosis: an interdisciplinary approach.". American journal of otolaryngology 19 (1): 8-11. PMID 9470944. 24^ "PubMed search results with keywords "halitosis" and "candida&q...

Here is my null hypothesis that I constructed for the "Candida causes halitosis hypothesis". Please feel free to add the argument for Candida, but I won't reply unless you cite reliable scientific sources. There is a general belief among the public that Candida spp. may be a cause of halit...

Yeah, I have heard this criticism of the machine's software before. It needs calibrating, to make sure the readings are taken from the highest poin t of the peaks on the graph. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21386154 " The results show that the OralChroma is a very sensitive apparatus for m...

By condensing, I mean pool of foul-smelling liquid/mucus at the back of the tongue and throat area produced by the breeding ground of bacteria present there, and as a person breathes out and these liquids evaporate, the vapour condenses onto the linings in the nasal cavity and in some cases may be ...
