If You Use Mouthwash, You Might Wish to Reconsider


The chairman of the Australian Dental Association's therapeutic committee and associate professor of oral medicine at Melbourne University, Professor Michael McCulloch has said that the alcohol in mouthwashes, "...increases the permeability of the (oral) mucosa to carcinogens..."  Acetaldehyde,  a toxic by-product of the breakdown of alcohol, accumulates in the mouth while using the mouthwash.  According to the professor, he says that he sees people with oral cancer who have no other risk factors than simply using alcohol-containing mouthwashes.

Bad breath does not come from bacteria that form in the mouth.  It comes up from the stomach.  We've had many patients complaining of breath odor that have eliminated the problem through dietary changes.  We also recommend the use of a colloidal silver rinse as an effective mouth rinse.

Any significant odor, whether it be bad breath, body odor, gas or bowel odor, is the result of systemic imbalances and needs to be addressed as such. The fundamental problem is coming from what one eats and drinks.  Unpleasant odors are the body's way of telling us that we need to change our ways.
