CREAM OF TARTAR

 

POTASSIUM BITARTRICUM is a kitchen staple which, when combined in cakes or

batters with bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate, baking soda) aerates

the mix as the two ingredients combine and form bubbles. It's made from

grapes. This is what I found in a search (well, some of it):

 

There's a lot of information about tartaric acid (Cream of Tartar is a

tartaric acid salt) and yeast here:

It seems that tartaric acid is consumed/ destroyed in the intestines by

bacteria. That might be a hint ... which bacteria are feeding on it, and are

those bacteria competitive with candida albicans?

I have been taught to use cream of tartar for yeast. What my alternative

docs suggested was to take 1 tsp./day in a glass of water. His advise

was to start slow.... no matter what the product is because we all react

differently. I would start with 1/2 tsp. in water, 1x/day. I would NOT advise

to keep increasing, though... meaning doing 1/2 tsp, then 1 tsp, then 1

Tb.... .no! I would try to get to 1 tsp. in am., 1 tsp in pm. It can cause

diarrhea

 

Cream of tartar is used to kill Candida albicans and I always had some

success with it.

 

Cream of Tartar will not only alkalinize better. (You can test your saliva

with Litmus paper to see the

difference), but the Cream of Tartar powder also kills yeast all by itself!

You can mix it with water or just plop the powder in your mouth and swallow

water to wash it down. (Don't breathe in while the powder is still dry in your

mouth as some of the still dry powder can go down the wrong way). Expect to

have the runs for the first few days using the Cream of Tartar as the

initial die off of yeast happens.

 

Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid which neutralises hydrochloric acid

produced in the stomach. It provides prompt relief of symptoms caused by excess

acid. As it is very soluble it acts immediately on reaching the

stomach.

 

Sodium potassium tartrate and tartaric acid are osmotic laxatives. They

prevent the reabsorption of water from the gut. This causes an increase in the

volume of gut contents which, in turn, increases intestinal activity. This

promotes defecation.
