I haven't used it but I'll repost the protocol here with the link that generated it. Inside the link you'll find Lucy Beales story.
My naturopath and other health practitioners recommended the following ``protocol''. Following this could bring on an uncomfortable detox condition. I've been uncomfortable at times, but my allergies are steadily lightening and my energy is increasing.
1. Protease 180: take six per day on an empty stomach -- 3 upon awakening, and 3 before bed.
2. ProDophilus: 2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner.
3. Cream of Tartar. Available in the spice section of the grocery store, also in bulk at health food stores. Take 1-2 tsp. 4 times a day.
4. NAC (n-acetyl cysteine) with molybdenum and selenium from NOW brand. Available at www.vitaminlife.com, product code 73373900866. Take 2 per day.
5. B-vitamins - twice a day.
6. Digestive 270: 2 at the beginning of each meal.
Purchase Protease 180, ProDophilus, and Digestive 270 from the Center for Enzyme Research at 1-888-635-4413.

I have no idea. Maybe someone else here does?
Cream of tartar reminds me of fish sticks every Friday during lent growing up. Yuck.

I don't think your going to find any pub's on this. The orthodoxy of medicine doesn't admit to lyme nor do they admit to candida.
I'm afraid cream of tartar for candida is new territory and you take it at your own risk.

When I thought I wouldn't find anything on this I managed to. They are both somewhat conflicting. One researcher confirms tartaric acid does kill yeast. Another site pronounce the dangers of tartaric acid. I supply them as information to your post.
This site states there is little or no research correlating tartaric acid actualy kills yeast, but the way written suggests he believes it does. In this particular case it might be a good idea to challenge this researcher about his stance on this a little further. I thought the link below was an excellent article altogether.
