Probiotic Sore Throat Treatment Leads to Bad Breath Cure
New probiotic treatment stops bad breath.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) February 2, 2005 -– A clinically-proven probiotic treatment that
prevents sore throats has surprisingly provided a long term cure for bad breath.
Researchers at Otago University in New Zealand, using a patented strain of
Streptococcus salivarius (strain K12) found that subjects in several clinical
studies supporting the benefits of using “good” bacteria to fight the “bad”
bacteria causing sore throats, also discovered that they no longer had any bad
breath.
The probiotics, known as Atkiv-K12, produce a simple protein
called BLIS (Bacteriocin-Like Inhibitory Substance) that prevents certain bad
bacteria from growing in the same environment. In the U.S., Dr. Harold Katz,
founder of The California Breath Clinics, has recently completed studies on
roughly 1,000 subjects with a 97% success rate in eliminating bad breath, as
well as dry mouth, and taste disorders in even the most severe cases of
Halitosis.
Test subjects first created a “level playing field” by rinsing
with an oxygenating oral rinse (AktivOxigen Serum) followed by a mouthwash made
with Aktiv-K12, daily for 30 days. The Aktiv-K12 rebalanced the oral micro flora
preventing anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria from overtaking the tongue,
throat, and tonsils, where most bad breath originates. In order to maintain a
healthy oxygenated oral environment, allowing the good bacteria to thrive,
simply required rinsing and brushing with oxygen-releasing oral products
(TheraBreath brand). However, those subjects returning to alcohol based
mouthwash or toothpaste, containing sodium lauryl sulfate, did not maintain a
healthy population of the good bacteria.
Katz, who holds both a degree in
Bacteriology and Dentistry (both from UCLA), states that Aktiv-K12 therapy may
preclude surgery or other invasive therapies for oral problems. He and his
associates are close to finding cures for tooth decay and gum disease using
Bacteriotherapy.
The TheraBreath brand of Aktiv-K12 Probiotic System,
classified as "an all-natural" approach to long-term fresh breath and oral
health is now available directly to the public worldwide, through Dr. Katz’s
clinics and website www.drkatz.com or www.freshbreath.com or by calling
