Everyone knows that Onions and Garlic will create bad breath.

But do you know why?

It’s because the odorous molecules in onions and garlic are actually sulfur compounds themselves. (Sulfur is nature’s way of creating odors.)

Food, if it sits out too long will spoil. That action is due to anaerobic bacteria breaking down proteins in that particular food.

In milk, the odor of sour milk is caused by relatives of the bugs that create bad breath, when they break down the lactose protein and allow the release of the amino acids which in turn end up becoming volatile sulfur compounds, exactly the same compounds found in bad breath.

The same analogy applies to meat if it sits out too long.There are 4 categories of foods that will result in an increase of sulfur production because these categories have a stimulating affect on the bacteria and ultimately, bad breath (halitosis):

1. Drying Agents
2. Dense Protein Foods
3. Sugars
4. Acids

Drying Agents:

The most common drying agent in food is Alcohol. Alcohol of course is the basis of all “adult” beverages such as Beer, Wine, and Hard liquor. It is also used, unfortunately in mouthwash, where it only makes the problem worse.

Alcohol is a drying agent, known chemically as a desiccant. It is used quite often in laboratories to “dry out” hard to reach areas in test tubes and beakers. The same end result takes place in the oral cavity.

Although cigarettes are not really food, smoking is probably the quickest way to dry out your mouth, with alcohol the second. If you smoke, you are bound to have bad breath!

Dense Protein Foods:

Dairy foods are notorious for creating bad breath. An article in the Los Angeles Times once noted that over 50% of the population in Southern California was “Lactose Intolerant”. This means that tens of millions of people cannot breakdown the lactose protein in dairy foods (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc). The end result is a buildup of amino acids, which are easily converted into volatile sulfur compounds by the anaerobic bacteria found within the surface of your tongue and throat.

To a lesser extent, some people have the same problem with other dense protein foods such as: Beef, Chicken, Fish.

Sugars:

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get rid of bad breath by chewing on M&Ms? Or what if the cure for bad breath were Hershey Kisses?

That’s what the makers of ALTOIDS would have you believe. Altoids, and other products of the same ilk, are trying to fool the public into believing that a strong “good” taste in your mouth is equivalent to the “goodness” of your breath. It is so anti-science, as to be absurd. If you think about it for a minute, it doesn’t even make sense.

By using concentrated MINT flavorings, your taste buds pick up MINT as a taste. However, ALTOIDS, contains 2 types of sugar, which are Fuel for the bacteria to reproduce and create more sulfur compounds. In addition, other bacteria can take the sugars and produce glycan strands, which in turn end up causing thick layers of plaque on your enamel and around your gums. This leads to tooth decay and gum disease – and of course worse Bad Breath than when you started.

But, since you can’t smell your own breath, you just go merrily along with that great strong mint taste in your mouth, while others close to you are backing away – backing away from your increasing bad breath, decayed teeth, and gross swollen, bleeding gums!

Stay away from candies, mints, and chewing gum if they contain sugar.

As an alternative, use TheraBreath Oxygenating Chewing Gum. It releases Oxygen molecules directly in your mouth and also contains the antibacterial agent, Zinc Gluconate (found in many cold medications). In addition, it also contains Xylitol, which is a natural ANTI-DECAY compound (Not SUGAR!) To order TheraBreath Gum, Click Here

Acidic Foods

Acidic foods are a problem as you’ll read below. Some foods you should watch out for are:

Coffee – both decaf and regular have acids (Tea is OK)
Tomato Juice

Citrus Juices:
Orange Juice
Pineapple Juice
Grapefruit Juice

We know that acids make oral bacteria reproduce much faster. In order to decrease the production of odorous sulfur compounds, we need to neutralize the acid environment. TheraBreath products are the only ones pH balanced in such a manner to do this most effectively. That’s why TheraBreath products don’t leave a strange aftertaste like other bad breath products.

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:

1. Prescription Medications (ususally prescribed for high blood pressure or depression)

2. Antihistamines

3. Adult Beverages

4. 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:

• TheraBreath Breath Mints (designed to stimulate saliva flow AND freshen your breath)
• TheraBreath ToothGel and
• TheraBreath Oral Rinse

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:

• Hydropulse – Nasal Sinus Irrigator
• Nasal Sinus Drops
• AktivOxigen Serum or AktivOxigen Tablets
• Extinguisher Spray

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

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)

Coffee 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.)

Bad Breath (Halitosis) Solutions

Research by Dr. Harold Katz – Founder, California Breath Clinics indicates that if you truly want to prevent bad breath (halitosis), you must use an oxygenating toothpaste, mouthwash and, ideally, a tongue scraper to effectively neutralize the anaerobic bacteria from the back of your tongue. Thousands have successfully used Therabreath’s Starter Kit to eliminate Bad Breath (Halitosis).

5/4/2003

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
