#3 Magazine: BLACK ELEGANCE; JUNE 2000 Section: Technology Update FINALLY--A `CURE' FOR BAD BREATH! --------------------------------- For years, the cause of chronic bad breath has been misdiagnosed, but a dentist's research has led to Thera Breath(TM), a dramatic treatment system that works naturally and effectively. These days, people spend a great deal of time or, their health and fitness. Exercise, nutrition and an emphasis on general wellness are important to people not only for medical reasons, but for social ones as well. Everyone wants to feel and look their best. Unfortunately, many people around the world suffer from a condition that cannot be cured at a health club, spa or even a hospital: chronic bad breath. It is estimated that over 80 million people worldwide suffer from bad breath, or halitosis. In the past, treatment has consisted of masking the odor with mouthwashes or mints, flooding the mouth with alcohol- based rinses, or the latest craze, popping pills that claim to cure the problem in the stomach. None of these treatments work, because halitosis is caused by bacteria on the back of the tongue and upper throat that produce sulfurous gases. The way to stop bad breath is to stop this process, and this is the secret behind the revolutionary Thera Breath(TM) system. You're the last to know. Because halitosis originates in the mouth, it is virtually undetectable by your own sense of smell. You may notice a bitter, sour taste in your mouth or a whitish coating on the back of your tongue, but you generally find out there's a problem when a family member, friend or co-worker brings it to your attention. At that point, you need an effective, long-lasting and easy-to-use method of eliminating the problem. Without proper treatment, chronic bad breath can lead to a loss of confidence and self-esteem, and it can even result in depression. The problem can adversely affect your marriage, social life, career and relationships with family members. What's needed is a quick and effective treatment that works naturally with no side effects. A scientific solution. As a dentist with a degree in bacteriology, Dr. Harold Katz has been keenly aware of the widespread nature of this problem. It was not until his daughter came to him about her halitosis, however, that he began to research the problem in earnest. His studies led him to an amazing discovery about the source of bad breath: it does not originate in the digestive system, and the food you eat has no direct effect on your breath. Certain foods, however, contribute to the production of sulfurous gases in the back of the mouth. Acids in coffee and proteins in dairy products exacerbate the problem. Mints and mouthwashes intended to mask or prevent bad breath actually worsen the condition because sugar and alcohol dry out the mouth. Many common medications for everything from high blood pressure to depression have the same drying effect, resulting in the formation of odorous gases. Mucous from post-nasal drip contains dense proteins that are full of sulfur. Some treatments for halitosis contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which can cause canker sores. The only effective means of eliminating the sulfur gas production is to introduce oxygen to the bacteria, causing them to produce tasteless, odorless sulfates. Effective, safe and natural. At his California Breath Clinic, Dr. Katz has perfected a five-step program for treating halitosis. By using these products on a regular basis, chronic halitosis sufferers can end their problem. The TheraBreath system eliminates the problem of bitter or sour taste in the mouth, improves general periodontal health and will even whiten teeth. Unlike mouthwashes that are flavored heavily or designed to taste like medicine, TheraBreath has a mild spearmint flavor that tastes great and creates pleasant, neutral breath. It contains no SLS compounds, so you will not suffer from an increase in canker sores or any other side effects. These products are all-natural and simply introduce a greater amount of oxygen into the mouth's chemistry. Try it risk-free. The TheraBreath System is an effective, safe and easy-to-use solution to a troubling problem, but don't just take our word for it. Try this product for yourself with our risk-free home trial. If you are not fully satisfied, just return it within 30 days for a full refund. HOW IT WORKS We all have natural bacteria that live on the back of the tongue and aid in digestion. Under certain conditions, these bacteria will break down proteins and transform them into sulfides, which create odor and bad taste. Oxyd-VIII(TM) (A Proprietary Oxygenating Formula), the active ingredient in TheraBreath, transforms these odor-causing sulfides to sulfates, which have no taste or odor. Dear Dr. Katz, Our son has had a breath problem for years. He tried mouthwashes and mints. We took him to doctors and dentists, and even had his tonsils removed. Nothing worked, until he tried your product. I am so thankful and thrilled that you found the solution to his problem. You'll never know how much you changed his life! -- M.C., Los Angeles ~~~~~~~~ By Jason Williams Posted for educational and research purposes. Copyright laws still apply.
