Hello! I am sorry your kid has this problem.here is a suggestion: beside taking Ted's remedies for candida and making her eat a lot of raw organic veggies and the anti candida diet, give her chlorophyll a couple of time a day and all body smell shall disappear. With children a lot of creativity is needed to keep them on proper diet and to disguise what they don't like, good luck!Replied by Latina (El Paso, Texas) on 07/24/2010
Please help. I am 30 years old smell like poop all the time, but when I eat it is much worse. I can stink up a room in minutes just by breathing. I do have minor periodontitis, but my dentist keeps saying it is stable, has been for 3 years now, and is not sure what the bad breath is. I also have a lot of mucus in my throat all the time, so much so, that I often feel like I am choking and often spit up thick clear mucus. I have lupus, but am not currently on any medication and the illness is stable. Often, I have indigestion, heartburn, burp a lot, and am sometimes constipated. I brush after all meals, floss and use a tongue scraper. I use biotene toothpaste and mouthwash. I just started using ACV and baking soda, only 2nd day and have not really noticed any difference. My doctor checked my liver and kidneys, he said they can produce fecal smells, but they were fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. How can I find out if the smell is from the stomach, nose, mouth, etc?Replied by Isabelle (Garden Grove, Ca Usa) on 07/25/2010
Hello! I am very sorry for the difficulties and I hope you get better. Here is a suggestion: follow Ted's protocol for lupus here https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/lupus.html
Also, select nutritious but easily digested food from what is allowed in the protocol and help your digestion with 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water 15 minutes or digestive enzymes before meal. Have enough fluid (soup or water) at meal time to not allow your bowel to slow down to constipation. If at the end of the day you didn't have a movement: up your magnesium. Take chlorophyll and rinse/gargle and rinse your mouth with baking soda for 5 minutes. A mild intestinal cleanse is a good idea. I hope you get results fast but sometimes it takes a little longer to get rid of putrefied food in the digestive system so choose a protocol and stick to it for enough time so you can see results. Good luck!Replied by Susan (Dallas, Tx, Usa) on 07/27/2010
Regarding Extreme Body Odor: Several things come to mind: Hydrogen Peroxide, Povidine iodine, ACV , saline irrigations are just some great things that have helped me. . 1) Gargle with a cap full of Hydrogen Peroxide just swish it around in your mouth while taking a shower; you can take a larger swig, but add some water to it, this is a good replacement for mouth rinse and the hydrogen peroxide will help to kill off any bacteria around your teeth and gums, which will reduce mouth odors. This diluted mixture can be used twice a day, if you use it full strength you may feel some sensitivity on your teeth, especially near fillings or crowns, just use the diluted (1 part water. 1 part Hydrogen Peroxide) and swish it around for 2-3 minutes if you can stand it (NOTE: This is a good protocol for those of you with braces, this wash helps keep hard to reach areas clean! ! )
2) You say that you have a lot of congestion; I worked in a building with mold and fungus growing on the ceilings, I got very congested-do not take tons of anti-biotics, you need to get your sinuses cleaned out and irrigate them with a saline solution at least 2 times a day-if you irrigate more than 2 times, it may cause a temporary loss of your sense of smell. Note, for severely congested sinuses (noted by heavy post nasal drip down the back of the throat)get a menthol spray decongestant (cheapest store brand) only get the 4 hour type and not the 12 hour type. . . You need to reduce the swelling of the sinus passages, in order for the saline solution to be able to get into the the sinus cavities. When I have to use a nasal decongestant, after I spray, I usually wait about 1-2 hours-you can feel your sinuses start to shrink as fluid starts to run out more freely, after about 1-2 hours, do your first saline irrigation (I find the squirt bottle method to be more efficient than a "neti pot" but, I do also use an additional squirt of a saline spray into my nose to reach the UPPER sinus passageways. The Neti pot or squirt bottle do not reach the UPPER sinuses as well. ) When trying to get the congestion in your sinuses reduced, you may need to irrigate 4-6 times the first day or so. Do not freak out at what you may see, you are trying to get your sinus passages cleaned out, and the sinus cavities are notorious hiding areas for gross things. In addition to addressing your congestion-be careful of any foods that you may have allergies or sensitivities to, as well as any other allergens-these will cause you to become congested in your sinuses, lungs, etc.
3) After having sinus surgery to open swollen cavities-it was not fun-my E. N. T. (Ear, Nose & Throat Dr. ) even told me to stay away from spray decongestants, and anti-histamines (these dry out your sinus cavities and your body-notice how dry your mouth gets, how thirsty your body is. . )He said that if you irrigate with the saline solution 2 times a day you will keep the allergens flushed out of your sinuses, thus no irritants to cause allergies. This has worked for me, no more allergy attacks. Yes, I have gotten some very bad sinus infections-my fault, not irrigating with saline-felt good, could breathe easily, let my guard down.
4) The saline solution can be purchased at any pharmacy in tiny, one time packs. (I make my own with sea salt-extra fine grained and baking soda about 2 parts salt to 1 part soda. Keep in a dry place or a plastic zip lock bag. ) Use warm water-not hot-to irrigate with, some people do not like using tap water to irrigate with due to sensitivity to the chlorine or fluoride in the drinking water-you can use room temperature distilled water and just add a splash of hot tap water to dilute the salt. . )
5) Be careful drinking too much ACV if you have sensitivities to mold or fermented foods, the ACV can cause your body to react to the fermentation of the ACV.
6) Other body odor may be from foods not properly digested or not having daily bowel movements. Drink plenty of water and use fresh lemon juice as a diuretic and bowel stimulant.
7) A lot of body odor may be due to fungus on your skin. . Do you have skin flare ups? dry itchy feet? dry itchy skin? Mine was associated with the fungus caused by Athlete's Foot. I did not have the fissures caused by the fungus, but a lot of women (& men) mistake their dry, calloused feet as being dry and calloused when actually it it the fungus causing the dry, cracked and itchy foot. It can be cured with Povidine Iodine, both as a foot soak or just wipe it on your feet, let dry and then put on socks. There are good posts regarding the fungus and other cures on this website.
8) Another thing to check out is Candida growth. Too much or an "overgrowth" will cause you to be bloated and have a lot of mucus and congestion. These are good cures for that on this website also. A lot of times "heat rash" is actually the athlete's Foot fungus that has spread by your bath towel to other sites like a waist band, etc. Foot odor? Probably the foot fungus! Heat rash in sweaty areas? Does it have an odor? Probably the fungus! If you are female, and you have offensive odor in the vaginal region? Probably Candida! A vinegar douche will help, some even use an Iodine douche-again more info is available on this website. I wipe these areas down with a the Povidine Iodine solution (purchased at the drug store, generic brand is very cheap. )
9) Acid reflux, indigestion and gas may cause body odor. . A glass of water with a small amount of ACV (1 teaspoon or less) will help balance out the acid in the stomach, but you will not ingest too much to cause any allergic reactions from the fermentation.
10) Scalp itchy and has an odor?? Probably a fungus! Info on this website is very good. Can use the Povidine Iodine on the scalp and let it sit for awhile, then rinse off. A good rule of thumb is you are having any types of odors there is some type of bacteria, or fungus causing the problem.

Well, thank you both so much for your reply. Here is what I am doing so far. I am gargling with Hydrogen Peroxide twice a day 50 water/ 50 peroxide. Mouth does feel much cleaner. I have also gargled with ACV and Baking Soda(8oz of water, 2 tbs ACV, 1/4 of baking soda) and my mouth feels much cleaner with this also. I am not sure which one is better, any suggestions which one I should stick with? I am drinking more water with fresh lemon to help with bowel movements, but am not regular yet. I am drinking about 7 cups a day but will make it more tommorrow. I tried drinking ACV, (2tbs in 8oz of water) but somehow it seemed to make the smell worse and also caused nausea with an uncomfortable feeling and fullness in the middle of my chest area. I don't have any skin issues, rashes or fungus that I know of. However, last October I had Sepsis after giving birth, and due to a ton of antibiotics I still have a yeast infection. (Is this fungus?)It is very mild now, but still there. I will be going to dentist on Monday to ensure my gums, teeth are still stable and ask about bad breath AGAIN. I looked up some info on cleansing body, but am very nervous to do this, as I have to take supplements and eat regular balanced meals to keep Lupus stable. I have not yet looked at Ted's lupus cure info. But will hopefully try this as well. Any more ideas for me will be appreciate. It has only been four day, but I have not seen any results yet.Replied by Cc (Baton Rouge, La.) on 07/29/2010
I just wanted to say a quick Thanks to all who posted on the body scent issue. I have smelled just like my daddy for years. He was Native American and I never really minded that his scent was so strong, but I'm a girl. I mind it very much on me. I read many of your posts and in the end threw a cup of ACV into the tub and just used baking soda on my wash towel. I've been sitting around for hours wondering about my sweet smelling skin. It's not perfume. It's sweet like a baby just as I read. I know time will tell. I live in the deep south and sweaty, but at least for now I have hope. I drink and I smoke (habits I will work on now that I'm not that scary, stinky lady) but for today I love my scent. ThanksReplied by Lisa (Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa) on 08/10/2010
Hi Latina, I have been reading your posts for awhile now since the first one because I was curious to see the advice given. I see in your last post you said the acidophilus didn't seem to be making much headway for you. Well, from your issues that you first spoke of, it appears very clearly that you are dealing with candida. These are classic symptoms- heavy mucous, foul breath, extreme body odor, indigestion, heartburn, burping, constipation and you probably have even more. I would venture to say that you probably have not had a good diet, I. E. Processed foods, junk, crave sweets and breads and maybe had bouts of antibiotics to help the situation. Your internal flora is completely off hence, the reason for the strong body odors. My Chinese medicine Dr. Would always say that bad breath is due to stomach but I would go even further- our intestinal tract is extremely important. It is like a garbage dump- if that is not cleaned up then bad bacterias form, it attracts parasites, it smells to high heaven... Now you could attempt to cover it all up with deodorizers, use poisons to kill the parasites, etc. Or you could just clean up the trash that has accumulated and all the problems would disappear. I have helped friends overcome these problems but there must be a concerted effort made to change through your diet. Not an easy task but one that you will be well-rewarded if you do.
Start by getting lots of fresh veggies into your diet and decrease animal proteins if you consume them a lot. Eliminate sugar and simple carbs such as bread and pasta. Also dairy can be a big problem. This step will help you become more regular in bowel movements. You want to clean that colon! You can help it by enemas or even going to get colonics. There is probably a lot of old waste in there which only worsens the problem. If you can, start taking in fresh green juices which will also help to hasten the internal changes to restore your body's ecosystem.
Additionally read what Bill did and follow his protocols which are very sound. He too, would agree that there is no quick, easy fix for this but steps must be taken. You will go through ups and downs so be prepared because the body will have to go through elimination periods of the "bad bacteria" as it dies off. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them if I can. I wish you the very best, Lisa

Hi lisa, I am also experience the same thing with candida symptoms. I have underarm odor and I am attempting to change my diet but I always end up breaking it and eating the bad foods. I want to make a commitment though and not look back. Thank you for your post and encouragment. I hope I pull through to notice the difference. Thanks
