Moth ball breath

James,

So I cured a sinus infection using acidophilus powder, and the fecal odor is gone, but I still have the persistent moth ball smelling breath and bitter, metallic taste in my mouth. I have tried using Pau d'arco tea, sucking on zinc tablets, etc, according to your protocol to allow beneficial bacteria to flourish, but it has not worked. I have even tried brushing my tounge with acidophilus powder. I know that I have suffered from a sinus infection for years, so perhaps it has affected my liver, which could be causing these problems? I am only in my early 20's, but I have had problems with my liver that I naturally assumed was caused from the sinus infection. There was a period when I could not even sleep on one side because of the pain it caused.

I have read that a lot of elderly people have this moth ball breath too. I have read that taking lipitor causes it too. I am wondering if a simple candida overgrowth in my mouth may not be the reason for my problems. My saliva is indeed stringy and it feels like my tongue is constantly coated, but I have never had blatant signs of thrush where there are blatant white patches. So what do you think I should do now? Do you have any idea what could be causing my problems?

Also, I'd like to mention that after discontinuing applying acidophilus in my sinuses, the sinus infection retured, as indicted by the fecal odor. But it went away again when I started the acidophilus applications again. If it is indeed candida that is causing the moth ball breath, then it would make sense that it traveled back into the sinuses after I stopped using the acidophilus, perhaps through sneezing.
