Halitosis

Hi, doctors halitosis is (90% in mouth caused by anerobic bacteria) and aprox 10% in the rest of the body? Could halitosis be comming from an internal organ or high levels of toxins be projecting oders from mouth or nose.

anythings possible but its highly unlikely. the most common mistake someone with bad breath makes is using alcohol based mouth washes. they make your mouth dry which ends up making the problem worse. my roomate had horrible breath even with impeccable dental practices. she increased her water intake and switched to a non alcohol based rinse and her problem went away. most food based bad breath like onion or garlic breath can come from the throat and stomach which is why brushing never seems to help.
