I found another page about a man that was cured with that drug too, the drug is an antibiotic that kills only anaerobic bacteria. If you wanna see the reports google “halitosis metronidazole”. I’m writing this because is the only… with “non commercial purposes” cure that I have knowledge so far (not like the evil dr Katz). Anyway it didn’t work for me, maybe it could help to another person.
Now I’m thinking that maybe the problem is the lack of saliva, I never thought that the problem could be that. but we can’t really know if we produce the necessary amount of saliva to sweep all the ****. There’s a drug called pilocarpine (Salagen®).that makes the body produce a lot of saliva and sweating. I’m going to buy it and concentrate in produce saliva. you should do that too and see what happens.

I think that we know more about bb than any doctor because we have to face this hell every day, so we must give more information about ourselves and try to find some connection like blood type and weight: mine is A– and I’m very slim. If you have been working on this problem you’ll know that is not a bad idea to post this information.

Where do you buy these medications that we are talking about? If it's prescription, than that rules out most of us getting out hands on it. I will look on the internet to see if it's over the counter. The metronidazde sounds like a prescription from the doctor. I also have dry mouth and will ask my doctor for a prescription to increase saliva flow. I also though of that theory myself. Next week for sure I will bug my doctor for it b/c a have an appiontment w him. Thanks for the info.

Hello, Everyone;
Well, it's has been Sat. since I started using Chlorine Dioxide to eradicate my sinuses of VSCs/bacteria. I sound very stuffed up;like a cold. I don't think it's doing any good. I don't see anything different w my BB. Not that I can tell but taste, and overall feeling in my mouth unchanged. I m going to continue a few more days. I do really sound stuffed-up. I dont know why my sinues is reacting that way; exactly like a cold. God, I wish this nightmare would end! I just want to be able to live a normal life, to have common conversations w people w/o them backing away from me, and be able to live/exit w others instead of hiding/isolating myself due to BB. U asked if I have sinusitis like "Chuckwho", well, I don't know, and if my symptoms are similar to his, it would take the hand of God to cure me like he was. I would be happy to live the rest of my life if my BB was reduced 60%. Don't know what else to do.
