friends, anyone?

[cn032107]

hello.

i dont know how to start honestly. i have bad breath for at least four years now. and those four years were the worst years of my life. i am a student, 18 years old, Filipino.
i have been convincing myself to go to a dentist since last year to 'cure' myself but i was too embarrassed. 2008 came and said to myself, I REALLY have to start the year right and by 'right', i mean 'be cured'. but after reading all your posts here that most of you guys have not been cured, i was just discouraged. i was supposed to go to a dentist today but i lost my hope. i mean, you guys are from US, UK and first world countries and the technologies are readily available to you and i am just a poor kid from a third world country. i feel like i am the only filipino with bad breath. i want to help my parents to have a luxury life but i feel that i can never give that life to them because of bad breath. i dont have a future i guess. i cant make any friends and i feel soooooo alone. my closest friends think i am weird because i rarely talk. i am not open to them about my 'problem' although they probably know that already. i always pretend that i have cough so i can cover my mouth with a hankie when speaking to people. i am afraid of dying alone.. im kinda loosing my hope but i am really trying to be strong. i dont mean to make this a very sad story but i just have to let it all out.

thank you for reading.. now i feel someone is really listening to me.

i'm also filipino man so your not alone. you can try colon cleansing. you just warm up 64oz of warm water and put 1 teaspoon of salt. put lemons for the taste and drink it all in 4 servings. it's like bad diarrhea but aftewards you feel better and it does improve your breath. try it and see the difference. it takes 1-2 hours for the flush to finish so make sure your have enough time.

Hi cn032107:
I`m also Filipino & been suffering for 14years.Don`t give up cuz there had been a handful of people that got cured or had found ways to control their odor. First & foremost, you should be able to find the source of your bb which we all know is not easy. Bad breath is a symptom of something wrong inside your body. You should review your medical history & maybe something will come up. If you`re interested in meeting up with fellow filipino sufferers you could pm me. I live in Manila (Q.C.).

does apple cider vinegar help in our bb in anyway?

[thanatos]

I've tried apple cider vinegar and it didn't do anything for me. My case is exceptionally tough though.

I only tried it for about a month then had to stop cuz my sweat began smelling like vinegar & started having bouts of LBM.

cn. See a dentist asap and rule out any possible dental origin.

Avoid smoking and alcohol. Take a lot of vitamins- especially (acid-free) vitamin C. See that your diet does not contain spicy stuff such as chili or raw onions. And see how it goes.

If nothing helps, see ENT.

The earlier you know the problem, the better. I myself have been suffering for about 6 years now. It started as a chronic bb from the mouth. Then gradually became bb from the nose too over a course of 2-3 years. I have a feeling that things could have been a little better for me had I known how to manage my problem earlier.

One more thing, stay away from any mouthrinse that contain alcohol like Listerine, Colgate, Oral B mouthrinses, etc. However, ordinary toothpastes like colgate are harmless and is economical to use.

Bad trip talaga ang bad breath mga 'tol.

Hi,

I'm also a filipino. My problem started when I reached here in abroad, it has been more than 5 years now. I'm here in UAE, Middle East. I spent more than 1,000 USD but still cannot find the solution. Right now I'm using therabreath since it helps little bit, at least for one hour . My wife believe that my breath comes from sinusitis, but she's not sure she said, I believe there is something wrong in my digestive system. I went to Dentist, ENT, GP's but still nobody solved my problem. Kung wala akong anak siguro nagpakamatay na ako, grabe talaga ang sakit. I'm so friendly, I used to hang out with friends but now since I have this problem slowly they're gone one by one. I can talk to them for long only by phone. Masakit talaga na wala na akong mga tropa ngayon buti nalang nandyan yung family ko, wife ko at saka anak ko. Buti nalang maganda yung trabaho namin ngayon at least may pera ako pambili ng therabreath. Ngayon nag vit. c din ako at saka tung brush. I think they help to reduce the fecal smell but it won't last for 3hrs I think. Im also eating yugort regularly for three months now. Kung sino man sa inyo gusto makipag chat o coordinate, im willing... bye for now!

there are so many philipino people here!

Maybe there are more adults in asian countries that understand computers... It's no secret that most asian countries are technologically aware.

Many American adults are clueless when it comes to computers and the internet.

Nah. I think it's more likely that there are lots of lurkers who need a 'nudge' to speak up. Look at the views vs. responses and you'll see that there are plenty of people interested in the topics, but don't speak on them. Which is funny, because without communication, none of us are going anywhere. The more, the merrier... the more consistency we see in symptoms, the better grip we have on the situation.

thats ok akala ko kasi ako lang ang may problema na iot marmi na rin pala minsan balak ko na rin mag s*****e pero di ko magawa gusto ko pa ring mabuhay kasi inaalala ko mga magulang ko at saka ang mga ambisyon ko ako nag suffer ng halitosis for almost 20 years since my puberty stage, sa nasabi mo nag try ka na rin ng thera breath ako for three years na na gumagamit nyan pero wala pa rin. minsan nga di ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko pero wala lang nag patangal na rin ako ng tonsil ko pero wal rin ang nangyari mga 1o years ago for I think yun a ng dahilan ng amoy pero wala rin. pagkatapos nga operation ko sa ilong ko na nga lumabas yung amoy as of this time may naamoy ako na lumalabas sa ilong at each time na mag linis ako nandyan pa rin. Lahat na cosmetics local and abroad na try ko na and even metronidazole antifungal and antibiotic pero wal ring nang yari heheheh. Pero alm ko someday na merong cure sa sakit na ito ika social cancer ang tawag ng iba dito minsan nga nakakahiya lumabas ng bahay sa sitwasyon kung ito. lahat ng kinita kko pare dito lang napunta.. wala na akong naipon dahil dito . kahit anong neat mo mag damit kung merong kang amoy sa hininga mo na di matangal sabihin nila na marumi ka pa rin.... di ba? pero saan ba tayo nag kulang sa paglilinis ba?
