Resolved Question

Can anyone suggest a treatment?

For 2 months I have had a terrible taste in my mouth. It has got worse over the time - was metallic, now more salty and sour. I've been checked out for EVERYTHING medically and nothing indicates the cause of the problem.

I'm getting desperate because it is SO unpleasant and makes ALL food taste vile.
Can ANYONE suggest a treatment for this?

It almost sounds as if you are taking an over dose of zinc. Try some of the following traditional remedies.

Glass of water with either the tip of a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda or iodine (just one drop) mixed into it and take daily or frequently for a while.

Olive leaf extract, with a little coconut but preferably its virgin oil.

Colloidal silver water.

Charcoal (from the HFS) has many interesting health benefits and is recognised for clearing poisons from the body. Not to be taken with medication as it can reduce the effect.

There are others but this should prove to be a good primer.

Greg862	Posted Jun 24th, 2009 at 11:21PM Does medically mean DENTALLY? You could have a decaying tooth, even if you feel no pain. I had one that hurt for a while, then after the nerve died, it just tasted bad in my mouth. Just had to have it pulled and the issue was solved. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Fourandahalfdays	Posted Jun 24th, 2009 at 5:14PM I would agree with the presence of bacteria either in the mouth, yeast, or in the stomach. Just my opinion, I am not claiming to be an MD. Rated: +1Vote for this!
