Glad you found your cure. I got rid of all convential toothpaste and mouthwash a long time ago and started using pure baking soda powder to brush and hydrogen peroxide to gargle (diluted with water). It's been over half a year and although it's definitely a healthier way to take care of my mouth, it's made no difference. My root problem lies deeper...it's an internal problem that's probably linked to candida and organ deficiency (spleen, large colon, liver...).
