Hi Mpdela,

Thank you for all your help. Your posts are very much appreciated. But I have to say you have excelled even your own high standards this time. I have never been more inspired or motivated by a post. There really needs to be a 'World BO organisation', and I would be quite happy to see you as BO Chief (if anyone would want that title lol)

The points I would like to make just now are :

1. I would term it (for example) 'metabolic BO', which is blood borne like you say. TMAU being only one example. The medical system needs to be made aware of the spectrum of 'metabolic Body Odor ' problems

2. I don't think this is an uncommon problem. I would guess maybe as high as 1%. The London experts on TMAU seem to suggest they expect about 1% to fail their TMAU test (the way I read their paper. Their cut-off point is 90%(?) whereas Preti has 85%(?) set, I think, and they include 'secondary tmau' and maybe have a different way of calculating the ratio)

3. the suicide rate for metabolic BO must be very high (stating the obvious for the record). Who knows how many people who commit suicide really have a metabolic BO problem that isn't identified/revealed. Psychiatrists have come up with a useless concept "olfactory reference syndrome'. I expect almost all those 'diagnosed' to really have the smell problems they describe.

4. Its pretty certain its going to affect sufferers lifestyles (being diplomatic here), and if society want to look at it in a selfish manner, they can think about the economic productivity aspect (whether the person is in employment or not, or how much their problem affects other workers productivity.)

5. Like you suggest, a sufferers bloodstream must be extremely toxic or out of balance. If the person is smelling, its the tip of the iceberg. The medical system currently expects someone smelling of fecal smells to be extremely liver damaged or near death or something.

6. I am not certain anyone needs to suffer this problem at all (I'm being publicly cautious here). An important factor could be something crazy like a vitamin deficiency, for example. I expect almost everyone to have a 'gut complaint'(which I think is a very important factor). I think of it as a syndrome, where a few factors may put vulnerable people into the 'zone' (or even normal people, given the right circumstances).

That replied email was also inspiring. I have never read a reply from someone in the medical field that sounded as if they were going to be a useful contact like that.

Thank you again. I will post more or contact you if I have any more thoughts today. Feel free to contact me if you want.
