Here's how I cured my nasty odor...
I have been looking for a cure for my disgusting body odor for years. I made a major break-through by correlating the type of food I ate with the severity of the odor. Things didn't come together until I found the yahoo.com candida support group.
Candida is an imbalance of bacteria in your body. Candida reveals itself in many ways--one of those ways is through body odor that doesn't disappear after washing. After undertaking the reccomended diet according to the yahoo site, I no longer smelled. The diet is very constricting: Eggs, butter, meat, some vegetables (all items are to be organic) is all that is allowed. NO alcohol, NO tobacco. It sucks, but it works.
I have included all of the possible symptoms of candida--check 'em out--if you would like more info check out the following address:

Check out the "Files" portion of the site and give the program a shot--I have tried any and everything--this is the only solution that has shown promise and progress, plus it don't cost nothing. Good luck.
