yup, I use baking soda and water for heart burn, when i've over feasted on something
. I bet most folks don't know that about baking soda.
Did you know that Cream of tartar is good for UTI's. When I was about 5, I guess I had one. Family doctor told my mother to give me cream of tartar and orange juice. It did the trick. I have often thought about that, because I'd never heard it mentioned since.....When I researched on the internet, it looks like the dosage is 1 1/2 tsp. in 1 cup warm water (with or without lemon), a couple times a day. Again, my physician back in the 50's told her to use orange juice, but I haven't found any articles mentioning that. As with anything, research before you ingest. the only warning I saw was that it was high in potassium, so if you are on a potassium restricted diet...DO NOT TAKE IT. I guess this is good to know for a SHTF situation, and you have a UTI.
