I read about this product at
http://www-surgery.ucsd.edu/ent/DAVIDSON/NASHAND/nasal.htm I'm having
problems with halitosis because (I think) from PND. I've been gargling
with alkalol but it hasn't worked. I can't seem to find any meaningful
information on Burrough's. Any ideas? Thanks.

When I was a kid in the early 50s my mother used to have me gargle
with Burroughs Solution for sore throats associated with tonsillitis.
Do a Google search for "Burroughs solution" in quotes as shown. Lots
of hits.
FWIW
YMMV

Actually there isn't much out there on "Burroughs solution". Would
like to know of it's efficacy, side effects, etc. and where I can buy
it. Googling doesn't seem to answer these questions.

You can get Burrough's or boric acd any pharmacy.
At http://www-surgery.ucsd.edu/ent/DAVIDSON/NASHAND/nasal.htm Dr Davidson
give exact directions. When you use this for pulsatile throat irrigation,
you get a second benefit, since it is an acid and dissolves any salt
deposits in the machine. .

Burrough's solution is Boric Acid. Be sure to dilute it correctly.
