Bad Breath (Halitosis) Truths
In this article you will learn about:
- Bad Breath (Halitosis) Causes
- Bad Breath (Halitosis) "Bugs"
- Conditions which make Bad Breath (Halitosis) worse
- Bad Breath (Halitosis) Solutions
Bad breath (Halitosis) is caused by Anaerobic Sulfur Producing
Bacteria which normally live WITHIN the surface of the tongue and in the throat.
These bacteria are supposed to be there, because they assist humans in digestion
by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood,
and in diseased or "broken-down" oral tissue.

When these "beneficial" bacteria come into contact with these compounds, the
odorous and "lousy-tasting" sulfur compounds are released from the back of the
tongue and throat, as Hydrogen Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan, and other odorous
and bad tasting compounds.
Bad Breath (Halitosis) "Bugs"
Let me explain a very important fact about
these "bugs". They are not "bad guys" - they are not infectious.
Everyone in the world has the same group of bacteria in their mouth and
everyone needs these bacteria because they assist in the digestion
process. You cannot "catch" bad breath (halitosis) from someone else -
even by kissing. Since they are part of our normal oral flora, you
cannot permanently remove them from your mouth - not by tongue
scraping, not by antibiotics, and not by rinses which claim to "lift
the bacteria off your tongue". The only scientifically proven and
clinically effective method of halting Halitosis is by attacking the
bacteria's ability to produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) and by
converting the VSC into non-odorous and non-tasting organic salts.
Bad Breath (Halitosis) Conditions Which Make Matters Worse
Dry Mouth
Although some cases of dry mouth are naturally occurring, most cases are caused
by one of these factors:
- Prescription Medications (ususally prescribed for high blood pressure or depression)
- Antihistamines
- Adult Beverages
- Mouthwashes with alcohol in them
When your mouth is dryer, you have less Saliva. Saliva naturally contains Oxygen,
which keeps your mouth healthy and fresh. These bacteria are anaerobic, which
simply means that they will thrive and make more sulfur in the presence of little
or no oxygen. Thus if you have less Saliva, you have less oxygen, thereby creating
an anaerobic environment, perfect for the bacteria to produce more of these
odorous and sour/bitter compounds.
Listed below are my Top Recommendations to prevent Dry Mouth:
Post-Nasal Drip
We know that proteins contain amino acids, which in turn contain sulfur compounds
(see text above). When a person has post nasal drip, mucus drains and coats
the back of the tongue and throat, exactly where bacteria live (see diagram
above). Since mucus is made up of interlinked strands of protein, the bacteria
have a field day, breaking down these proteins into odorous and sour tasting
sulfur type compounds. Strong Antihistamines don't help, because the drying
effect of the antihistamines also creates a problem.
The only method of ending the malodor, sour taste, and bad breath is to use Oxyd-VIII based oral products.
Top Recommendations to Eliminate Post-Nasal Drip:
High Protein Foods
Bacteria love proteins, and certain foods are packed with them:
Milk and Cheese and most other dairy products. (The fat content does not matter.)
If you are lactose intolerant, do not eat or drink these products! Since your
system cannot digest them properly, they are available to the bacteria for an
extended period of time.
Fish are high in proteins. As many people eat a high fish diet, logically they
make the problem worse.
Coffee with caffeine (and even without) contains high levels of acids which
cause the bacteria to reproduce more rapidly and create a bitter taste for many
people. (Virtually any acidic type of food will do this.)

I received the starter kit of your product last Thursday. I am 45 yrs old and
have suffered from bad breath most of my adult life. My bad breath was a result of
my chronic sinus problems. It caused me to lose a lot of self-confidence. I didn't
want to look people in the eye as I spoke to them. I've been self-conscious in crowds
at church and even around my family. It has been a hopeless situation for years. I was so
apprehensive that your product wouldn't work that
I was afraid to risk ordering it. But I did and I can truly say that even for those
few days it has made a remarkable change in my life. I've had a significant improvement
in my breath since the first use of your starter kit products. I didn't have the piercing, sickening
morning breath that I had for as long as I can remember. With each use of your product,
I'm feeling more and more self-confident. I don't feel like I have to stay in the back
of the room anymore. Your product is truly a God sent. Thank you Dr. Katz for your
remarkable vision.
Sincerely, Anita
