How To Stop Morning Breath In Less Than 45 Seconds Per Day

  By Dr. Harold Katz

Since I established the California Breath Clinics back in 1993, I've encountered just about every kind of breath condition possible...

...from the most offensive situations where you can smell the patient's breath from across the room, to those lucky few with breath sweeter than a baby's. We've been very fortunate because we've been able to tackle all types of bad breath, taste disorders, and dry mouth with our TheraBreath line of products.

Now, I want to share something special with you regarding a category of bad breath and sour/bitter taste common to just about everybody.

Stats About Morning Breath

Approximately 35% of the world's population has a chronic, noticeable breath condition which usually leads them to seek help from a professional (which may often be incorrect.) This group has bad breath concerns 24 hours a day, as well as food odours, taste disorders, dry mouth and, of course, morning breath...

Another 35% of people are "borderline" - meaning that their breath seems fresh throughout the day, but they can easily reach "chronic" levels -- if they eat certain foods (dairy, alcohol, sugars), after taking medication (antihistamines, antidepressants, high blood pressure medication) and always when they wake up -- in other words, morning breath.

The remaining 30% rarely worry about their breath. The only exceptions are when they eat garlic and onions, or upon wakening -- in other words, morning breath.

So what's going on with morning breath?

The thing is -- just about everyone has morning breath to some degree or another.

As we sleep throughout the night, our salivary glands slow down (for some older people, they shut down completely) because our brain knows we are not eating. This slowdown, combined with the constant flow of air over our palate (for those of us who snore or are mouth breathers), makes for a very dry environment on the tongue, within our oral cavity and in the throat (the breeding grounds of the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath and taste disorders).

What most people don't know (and this includes most medical and dental professionals), is that morning breath is not something that you have to live with.

The key is to find a way to stop the production of VSC's (volatile sulfur compounds) during the night as you are asleep. One way is to increase the production of saliva within the back of your throat and mouth during the night. But this is very difficult to do - after all, you're asleep! Furthermore, those of us who are mouth breathers are drying out the back of our throats with each breath that we take throughout the night.

A better and easier way is to stop the production of volatile sulfur compounds by the bacteria that create morning breath - and this is exactly what my AktivOxigen Tablets are designed to do.

AktivOxigen Tablets and Nasal-Sinus Drops

AktivOxigen Tablets are small, highly concentrated bad breath eliminators. I created them about a year back in response to many of my customers' demands for an effective oral rinse that reached the deep recesses of the throat and tonsil area.

What makes this product so effective is that you can actually swallow the resulting solution and slowly let it run down the back of your throat and tonsils. If you do this right before bedtime, this coats your throat for the entire night and virtually eliminates morning breath.

AktivOxigen Tablets are easy to use and affordable - and they are the best way I know for the average person to rid themselves of morning breath.

Also, those who suffer from Tonsiloliths (that's the scientific term for those nasty odorous globs growing deep in the crypts of your tonsils) or congested sinuses will find instant relief from using the combination of AktivOxigen Tablets and Nasal-Sinus Drops. Nasal-Sinus Drops are potent drops you put in your nose that slowly trickle through your sinuses and down your throat destroying the bad breath bacteria on contact.


AKTIVOXIGEN TABLETS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. Dissolve 1 or 2 tablets in the 8 oz mixing bottle. Be sure to use the opaque bottle that comes with the system otherwise the solution will lose its potency.
2. Shake well for 10-20 seconds.
3. Before bedtime, tilt your head back and swallow 1 or 2 capfuls of the solution. Let it slowly run over your throat and tonsil area for maximum effectiveness.
4. Important - The solution should be in contact with your tonsils and throat for at least 45 seconds.
5. Keep cap tightly closed after use.

NASAL-SINUS DROPS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. Blow your nose before use.
2. Tilt your head back and gently press sides of dropper bottle to release 3-5 drops into each nostril.
3. Allow nasal-sinus drops to slowly run back through your sinuses and down the back of your throat.
4. Important - Allow drops to remain in the sinus cavity for at least 1-2 minutes.
   
   Note: All TheraBreath formulas are designed to be used as a system. When looking for the best results, make sure to use AktivOxigen Tablets with any of our toothpastes, breath sprays, concentrated drops or chewing gum.
