Does being totally raw cause bad breath? It seems like it would clear that up.:confused:

I feel like that too.

I also think my feet smell now.......they didn't before, or maybe they did and my sense of smell is really keen now and they've always been that way! :eek:

ugh.

It takes time for all the nasties to get out of your system and they come out anyway they can! You could try oil pulling, it's worked wonders for me. :D

I have a super sensitive nose. (Which causes my husband to call me Super Nose! :p ) But I have always had that.
I think that if I eat onions, garlic, or shallots uncooked...they really stay with me. It's also hard for me to digest these foods raw. So, I tend to stay away from them unless they are in a recipe that can be dehydrated.
I also have trouble with the smells coming from the dehydrator when it is cooking. It's almost like I can pick out individual odors instead of the mingled smell. (That may be new:rolleyes: )
Yes, I agree, as things leave our bodies...toxins and what-nots...there can be an odor. Just keep eating raw...perhaps exercising and working up a good sweat to help eliminate quicker...things like that. It's bound to cease as you get clean and clear!
Good Luck!

I have been totally raw for almost two years and also lift weights and ride my bike regularly, that's why I was concerned about my breath. My husband mentioned it to me and if HE mentions it, it must be worth mentioning!!!! I've already lost 75 # and have been my same weight now (122 #) for nearly 8 months.

I am now using some liquid chlorophyll as well as taking some Chlorella capsules. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Yes I have too. In fact I've had some weird teeth issues that have been occurring for the last year. I started swishing wheatgrass(chlorophyll) and using mouthwash and brushing more. Bacteria builds up more in some people. I'm one of those people. stick with the chlorophyll. Bacteria hates oxygen
:cool:

In addition to the chlorophyll overdose I am planning (haha), I also got some pure peppermint oil and put a few drops in my lil Dixie cup for rinsing after brushing. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a life long war.

My husband is not raw at all and his breath doesn't smell.
