News & Views on Systemic Body Odor and Halitosis such as trimethylaminuria TMAU. If you have fecal odors or bowel odors it may be metabolic/systemic

Idea : Billboard advertising campaign to raise awareness

TMAO or fecal body odor ad campaign
Very few of the public are aware of the concept of metabolic malodors such as TMAU. Awareness would instigate research and sympathy.  Also in my opinion maybe 1% of the population may suffer from 'intermittent fecal body odor/TMAU' (which I currently believe to be FMO3 substrate malodor')

Question : How can the metabolic malodor community raise awareness ?
Idea : Billboard campaigns funded by crowdfunding

For instance a New York subway billboard campaign for a week might cost maybe $1000 (random guess). This could be crowfunded by the community via sites such as Indiegogo..

Possible advertising locations :
Major cities (e.g. New York)
Subway ad, Bus ad etc

Possible ad campaigns :
My suggestion would be to make it around TMAU or metabolic malodor in general
I would suggest mentioning a website to give those interested somewhere to go online
Random example : 'Fecal Body Odor ? It could be metabolic. Visit www ... etc'

How are location ad campaigns done ?
Usually via ad agencies

In summary 
Crowdfund for a location ad campaign (say $1000)
Put a billboard ad in a major city

FMO3 DNA testing
Update Aug 17 :
Genos is back with it's EXOME test

Note :
Exome/Genome testing may be better option than single gene testing.

See this post : link

Note : Genos Exome Testing.

Exome testing is almost the same price now as single gene testing. Also Genos is consumer friendly, which standard DNA labs are not.

So the blog offer to test solely for FMO3 is almost obsolete, and so no longer offered.


Does Genos fully sequence FMO3 gene ?

At the moment it is not clear, but hoped this will become clear over the next few months

Note : possible 'wild west' way of testing FMO3
Use an ancestry dna site and rummage through the raw data
