Post Nasal Drip and Gerd Causing Bad Breath

A simple remedy for post nasal drip that has always worked well with me is 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt in one glass of water. The post nasal drip usually will stop in a couple of minutes. Sometimes a person with larger build may take more than 1/2 such as 1 teaspoon, but I believe 1/2 is more than sufficient and it is taken only when there is post nasal drip therefore one single dose will generally cure the post nasal drip.

A thrush is a yeast and fungus issues. The metallic taste and the acidity in the mouth is what is supporting these thrush. Although I am now testing many remedies right now (many diseases too), however, most of the problem of bad breath is due to acidic saliva pH. The most effective remedy I have found to date to alkalize the saliva is the potassium citrate (technically, proper name is tri-potassium citrate), and a second effective remedy is the potassium bicarbonate remedy. Assuming baking soda is already taken along with the apple cider vinegar, than the dose for potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate can be added along with that remedy. There is a weak remedy and a stronger remedy. The weaker more conservative remedy is to simply add 1/4 teaspoon of potassium citrate or 1/2 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate to the 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. If taken for about 3 times a day. The bad breath should invariably go away by the third or fourth day, maximum. Therefore the persistence of bad breath has a lot to do with the lack of potassium.

Generally speaking, if potassium is taken, a couple of things will be noticed, better bowel movements, definitely less constipation and bad breath is reduced most often the next day. My general use of these remedy has always been a conservative one. I take them when I need them, from bad breath, slow bowel movements, constipation, acid saliva is often a signal that a potassium is needed.

That being the case, drinking too much water without sufficient salinity is the major reason for nasal drip. The body tries to get rid of excess liquid and raise the level of salinity necessary to fight the germs and viruses. Therefore adding the 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt will generally do the trick, with exception of a flu or colds, of course. But even that situation, the level of nasal drips is reduced quite a bit. It's a simple remedy, but it took me quite a bit of effort to see through this logic. I tested many times and this worked quite consistently.

It should be noted that a drinking water should have 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt added in one liter of drinking water also. Much of the urinary tract infection and even post nasal drips are due to lack of salinity. The anti salt movement is very much due to the common table salt, in which the aluminum additive is what is causing a lot of problems. However sea salt are quite different from common table salt. The sea salt I prefer always look moist in appearance and never bleached white. Those are generally the best sea salt because of the higher content of magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and trace minerals.

Therefore most of the conditions of bad breath and post nasal drip mentioned should be gone before the week is out. If not, then iodine lugol's solution 10-20 drops in a glass of water is used as a mouthwash. To further discourage the thrush. Caprylic acid (found in coconut oil or sold separately) is one common remedy against the thrush, that might give some help. However, my favorite is the 1/4 (men's dose) or 1/8 teaspoon (woman's dose) of borax is added in a one liter drinking water. Boron or borax are generally anti-fungal in nature as do copper rich foods such as cocoa, and molybdenum in the form of sodium molybdate at about 10-20 mg. Again these are taken whenever if feel the need to take it.

Presently I am experimenting with the use of ammonium chloride 10% solution as a mouthwash to rid of thrush. Present medical practice use this to acidify the blood, but cause intracellular alkalinity to prevent viral replication. However, it is the free ammonia from the ammonium chloride that kills the fungus that I am looking at. In general if I am using this, I will rinse with plain water as ammonium chloride was once used as an emetic remedy too. Again this is an experimental one, and the major use for this is to get rid of fungus from the skin such as ringworm, eczema, etc. that I am using now, but not quite yet used regularly as a thrush remedy.

It is however generally best to avoid wheat products, white flour and sugar. If those are avoided, a potassium citrate or a potassium bicarbonate can respond faster.

It should be noted that a metallic taste, besides the acidity, comes from high free heavy metals. The common contaminants is the tap water and the showers. The addition of about 100 mg of EDTA into a drinking water of 1 liter, preferably disodium edta, will remove the body slowly of heavy metals, or perhaps chlorella supplements or even some coriander taken at about one tablespoon of them. A simpler removal of heavy metal is only a couple of minutes of oil pulling will remove the metallic taste too, provided that toothpastes tube are no longer using any more metals.

One more interesting information is that sometimes a post nasal drips comes from a fungus or mycoplasma from living in a moldy house or fungal environment (that can later cause chronic fatigue, hypothyroid, thrush, etc.)

In which case I would prepare either a 5% or 10% ammonium chloride solution and used this to spray into a room like an aerosol and breathe in. The effects of the spray once breathed in once or twice will usually kill whatever the irritation is causing the nasal drip too.

However, I do spray my house regularly with this solution to rid of moldy and fungus environment. The effect is easily seen after spraying, especially if current environment is sticky that the air and the skin will no longer feel moist and stick and suddenly becomes dry. The reason is that fungus by nature are very hygroscopic.

Once they are killed, the air suddenly becomes dry and less sticky. In excess in the atmosphere they cause breathing problems, especially after a rain storm in a tropical environment like mine. It also helped reduce nasal irritation just from indirectly breathing the aerosol, but not a lot is needed to result in this effect.

It should be noted that the free ammonia is what is killing the fungus, virus and bacteria. Most patent applications are notoriously complicated in how it kills the super infectious viruses (as Hanta viruses, etc.) using a more complicated form of disinfectants such as dodecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, or octyl decyl dimethyl mmonium chloride, or dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and other variants. The joke to the entire punchline of these disinfectants that are approved by Environment Protection Agency for approved disinfectants for Human HIV-1, Hepatitis B virus, norovirus, mycobacterium tuberculosis, hepatitis C, for example is actually the alkalinity of the solution that releases the free ammonia, when in fact, the ammonium chloride salt dissociates almost completely in a simple water.

Therefore there really is no need for complicated compound and just the simple ammonium chloride will do all that, without the unusual toxicity that presents themselves in a quaternary ammonium compound when in fact its efficacy in riding a lot of dangerous pathogens can be handled simply with an ammonium chloride solution anyway. The problem is that these company can't make money from simple compounds as ammonium chloride, however, for common home remedies, it is generally safer to use for common household disinfectants as well as removal of pathogens instead of the more complicated chemicals that are presently in use.
