How to use this blog for beginners 3

On October 19, 2008 when MEBO only had 300 posts in this blog, I wrote a post explaining to new readers how to best get access to general information written by experts on body odor conditions. And on April 19, 2011, I wrote a follow-up post with additional information. Today, MEBO Research's blog has 1,045 posts, with a great deal more information, making it a little more difficult for sufferers to find information they may be looking for. I recommend that readers use the "Labels & blog search" engine found in the center-bar of the blog to find keywords you may be interested in.

There is also the menubar on top of this blog to help new readers find their way around. Some of the sites I recommend are the "Posts of note," "MEBO Community Outreach and Public Relations US & UK posts," "Videos," and "Campaigns." The following are some excerpts of the previous post on "How to use this blog for beginners 2"

Back on October 19, 2008, when the blog only had 300 posts, I published a post in this blog entitled, “How to use this blog : for beginners.” Now the blog has 864 posts, and we have grown so much as a community who has sought for and acquired so much more information, and who has been richly blessed with the support and guidance of so many experts. So now, we have so much more new information to offer, that I struggle to find a way to introduce all this information to a newcomer. Where do we begin?

Well we can still refer to the great introductory references noted in the previous post, such as,

Aruns overview on body odor and halitosis (Note: the MSN body odor support group has now moved to a new forum obtained for us by Arun, ). We can also refer to MEBO Research’s website in which discussion on the different body odor conditions are addressed in the Body Odor section and the Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) section where we feature a PowerPoint presentation given to MEBO Research by the renown Dr. Elizabeth Shephard on FMO3 enzyme and TMAU for viewing in the conference part of our Washington DC Meetup 2011. This site also has a Other Systemic Body Odor Conditions section that you might also find interesting.

Going back to this blog, you can browse through the Interviews with Experts section (scroll down to see all posts), in which experts have kindly given us answers to many of our questions. Some interviews are easier to understand than others, but it time, things will begin to make more sense, and you will begin to understand your odor condition better. It is in understanding our respective body odor condition that leads us to determining what odor-management protocol to follow to reduce our body odor.

Equally as important to determining the degree of odor, we also do need to become informed on the sensitivity, or lack of sensitivity of the human olfactory system. The post, “Do they smell me or not?” attempts to address this question.

This leads us to some suggestions on some blog posts on TMAU odor-management protocols recommended by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), and its variations adapted by different cultures. The value of probiotics and prebiotics is also stressed to help with gut flora imbalances (gut dysbiosis), which may have odor-producing microorganisms overpopulating in our gut, irritating the semipermeable wall, thus allowing larger molecules to filter through to the bloodstream, that perhaps should not do so under normal condition. Also, there are TMA and hydrogen sulfide odor-producing bacteria in the gut, vagina, and dorsal tongue that have been treated with probiotics (in some cases successfully).

You will find that there are many posts written on bromhidrosis, hyperhidrosis, halitosis, and foot odor.

Currently, MEBO will soon be launching the MEBO TMAU Test Program, and we are accepting applications to be put on a waitlist. MEBO will also soon be launching our formal Alveolar Breath Research Study, that will look for other odorous volatile organic compounds that come from the lungs to determine what other possible metabolic deficiencies body odor sufferers may be experiencing. The requisition form for this scientific study will soon become available.

MEBO Research welcomes you to our very active community. Please join us in our Skype group chats, that seems to be ongoing almost 24/7. This post explains how to join this group through Skype, and displays the social calendar for our community.

Welcome to our community!
