ELEVEN (11) DAYS FROM TODAY, Menssana Research will again return to London and Nottingham England to collect more breath samples from body and breath malodor sufferers for the
MEBO-Menssana Alveolar Breath Exploratory Study (scroll down to see all posts).
DATES IN LONDON:
- Saturday, December 1st, afternoon & evening
- Sunday, December 2nd, morning and if necessary, early afternoon.
Please contact MEBO UK's Assistant Executive Director, AJ,
at
aj.mcclay@meboresearch.org to schedule sample collection in London, so that you won't have to wait very long to collect your breath sample.
LOCATION IN LONDON:
The Guoman Tower Hotel
St. Katharine’s Way
London E1W 1LD
+44 845 305 8335
DATES IN NOTTINGHAM:
A few days before and/or after the London session, the instrument will be in Nottingham. AJ is happy to make this opportunity available to any sufferer that wishes to give their breath sample. Please contact AJ at
aj.mcclay@meboresearch.org to make arrangements for sample collection in Nottingham.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE TEST/STUDY PROCESS?
Dr. Phillips assures us that this test is sensitive enough to detect alveolar volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or odorous chemicals, that flow in our blood and comes out in our breath, as well as other “cleansing organs” of our body.
The primary focus of the test/study selected is not only to test for systemic halitosis, also known as alveolar halitosis, or bloodborne halitosis, but
primarily to identify metabolic malfunctions. By determining the specific chemicals detected in each person’s alveolar breath, and by comparing them to the control group, Dr. Phillip will be able to identify in his study which VOCs are more elevated in sufferers of body odor conditions of our community and which metabolic pathways are involved.
With such an impressive level of sensitivity, MEBO became very interested and enthusiastic in pursuing this type of testing for our community. Dr. Phillips assures us that this test is sensitive enough to detect some metabolic deficiencies through the detection of alveolar chemicals, which may include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or odorous chemicals, that flow in our blood and comes out in our breath, as well as other “cleansing organs” of our body.
WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE TEST RESULTS?
As always, MEBO enjoys the advisement and guidance of MEBO's experts advisors in the United States and United Kingdom, who have already offered to assist MEBO in whichever way they can, in addition to Dr. Phillips and his staff.
The following are initial questions to be addressed in follow-up studies once data has been collected from the VOCs.
- Are the VOCs produced by microorganisms in our gut, and if so, which ones?
- Are the VOCs detected in elevated levels the end product of a faulty metabolic system, and if so, which enzymes are involved?
- Is there a genetic cause for these elevated levels of particular VOCs?
- What treatment protocol would apply to each type of VOC and its cause, as determined by the appropriate test(s)?
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SUFFERER WHO PAID FOR HIS/HER TEST?
Even though initially the sufferer will only receive a report indicating which VOCs are elevated in their breath, the full interpretation will not be received until the necessary studies addressing the questions above have been concluded.
Even though initially the sufferer will only receive a report indicating which VOCs are elevated in their breath, the full interpretation will not be received until the necessary studies addressing the questions above have been concluded. It is recommended that participants of this study keep their results with them, which may be revisited from time to time as this process unfolds. Not only will information be posted in MEBO’s Blog as it becomes available, so that the community may be informed, but each sufferer who tested will have the advantage of seeing through time how new discoveries relates to their respective test results.
Anyone interested in participating in this program is welcome to fill out the Requisition below.
