Who is MEBO? There are a few sufferers who have told me that sufferers who just discovered our community don't know who MEBO is. MEBO is a sufferer founded 501(c)3 Public Charity registered in the US, England and Wales. the 10 Directors (5 in US and 5 in UK) offer their volunteer services, as do other sufferers and experts. There are a few experts in multiple countries who donate their time and work pro-bono to educate and guide us.
What is MEBO's Mission? To promote and initiate research into ALL TYPES of body and breath odor conditions to obtain a greater understanding of the causes, for the experts to arrive at a targeted therapy for each type of condition that results in body odor and halitosis. Since years go by with no government funding for research, MEBO has launched a raising awareness campaign to solicit research grant funding. In addition, instead of waiting around at the mercy of those who can fund our research (but don't), MEBO has initiated, and will continue to initiate, a few sufferer-funded research projects, under the supervision of experts and the MEBO Institutional Review Board to protect the rights of participants.
Basically, MEBO is the only organization in the world that focuses a great deal of attention and research efforts to understand the cause(s) of body and breath odor conditions of the 70+% of sufferers who get negative results on their TMAU Test.
MEBO also strives to compile scientific and medical information, such as articles in professional journals and books, and post them in the MEBO Blog, www.meboblog.com in addition to webinars, interviews, powerpoint presentations, and handouts given to MEBO expressly for our community by experts around the world that support our cause. Some of these can be found in the latest MEBO blog post,
