Liver: In the old days before all our fancy tests, a patient's breath was often viewed as a clue about their health. Breath that smells like you describe can indicate liver stress. Consider using some liver-cleansing herbs as directed for a month and see if that helps. Good ones include milk thistle, artichoke, burdock root, and dandelion root. And check with a dentist, just in case it's gum disease, ok?

Halitosis: Bad breath can be caused by many different factors, including sinus infections, periodontal problems, smoking, cavities, acid reflux, and your diet. Address all of these possibilities with your dentist and physician, and I'm confident that your problem will at least be minimized, and hopefully eradicated.
