Here are some ideas:
Eat foods with plenty chlorophyll (parsley) or take chlorophyll tablets.
Moderate how much garlic, onions and asparagus you eat.
Wear loose fitting natural fabrics, like cotton.
Some dyes in clothing (even cotton) emit a horrible odor. (I had some (not all) shirts made in India that had a strange smell due to the dye used in the fabric).
Drink plenty of fluids, water or wheat grass juice.
Dust your shoes with corn starch. If your shoes smell horribly, fill a sock with kitty litter and then leave it in your shoe overnight.
Wash sweat gland areas with a soapy washcloth.
Eat plenty of lemons (perhaps squeeze a lemon's juice into a glass of water and drink).
Use a deodorant/antiperspirant under armpits.
Do use too many products with strong scents. That alone can give others a headache.

Deodorant. You can bathe in the morning, and the minute you start sweating...you'll stink. You need to use deodorant/antiperspirant, along with bathing. Perfumes only end up smelling like body odor and perfume. They don't STOP the smell, they just try to cover it up and it never works. Are you wearing clean clothes?

Wear clean clothes (a clean body in unwashed clothes will smell bad), shower and wash your hair daily, and skip the perfume. Use unscented deodorants and hairspray. Sometimes the perfume itself stinks, especially if it doesn't work with your body chemistry. But, clean skin, hair and clothes, with no perfume, will NOT smell bad - I promise! (You might also want to stick some Odor Eaters in your shoes, never know if that's the problem.)
Good luck --

If you have a chronic body odour that never goes away, no matter how much you wash; you may have a bacterial imbalance in your digestive system. Take probiotics and the smell will go away.
If you are taking any perscription medication, consult your doctor, as some medications may cause body odor, sweating, etc.

Try using natural scented products. Products with perfume smells wear off and blend in and make odors even stronger.

I would consult a doctor. Bathing that many times and still having a problem with odor may be something else.

well if you bath to much you are killing the oils in your body that protect your skin and so your body tries to replace what you are washing off and more likely you are sweating out your food so stop bathing so much and let your body heal it's self and don't putt on so much perfume.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do about your body odor. Be sure to eat a healthy diet and drink lots of water, lots and lots. Oh yea, start eating garlic
