As she did in March 2011, our very own, Karen James (username Malory), is spearheading yet another campaign to raise awareness in the UK, and this time in the dental practitioner community.
Karen James tells us:
We know that many sufferers of systemic odour conditions have bloodbourne halitosis and/or TMAU. We need to keep raising awareness among others. It would be a good idea to target dental organisations to raise awareness of these conditions so that people can be directed to the support networks they need and not waste time and money going to ‘specialists’ who claim they can cure halitosis.
Please e-mail the contacts below with a brief account of your experiences (frustrations at looking for cures etc) and perhaps paste in the MEBO Research international petition link also so that the extent of the problem can be appreciated by the recipient.
It would be great to make this an international effort and I would happily e-mail/contact any contacts in the US, Australia or anywhere else which others may provide.

If you are uncertain about what to write and would like to discuss it before submitting your testimonial, please do so in the thread Karen started in MEBO's Forum, or send Karen or me a rough draft for us to look at first, please feel free to email it to us, and we'll get back to you.
WE KNOW WE CAN COUNT ON YOU,
OUR WHOLE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
DEPENDS ON EACH ONE TO WRITE!
We don't have to be UK citizens to write our testimonials,
All are welcome and each one will carry a very important message.
