The simplest possible remedy is 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and 1/8 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate, in 1/2 glass of water taken usually twice a day, once in the morning and 1 hour before sleep, 2 hours and 3 times a day if you got astenia or sleeping problems of course. This is takenl slowly raise the salivary pH to alkalinity , within a couple of hours, and if brushing is done during those times, most of the yellow tongue is removed and can come back only very slowly. In general if I don't have much yellow tongue, I would just take 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda twice a day. Stomach upsets are very much due to excessive acidity along the esophagus, but also of eyes, nose, throat and ears, leading to long term sinusitus, but also bad breath, or mediciny breath, is the same. Certain fungus for example causes the body to produce certain chemical (possibly aldehydic in smell) leading to a mediciny breath. It takes only a couple of days to notice improvement in the
tongue problem, but in my case it is relatively quick, which takes only a couple of hours. That is because my body is usually alkaline anyway, but I didn't check my salvary pH to be acid. Obviously, the prime reason that we get cavities and yellow tongue is the sugar and the starches, but that's generally difficult to avoid. The second major cause is because 90% of all our foods are acid forming anyway, wheat and milk is one of the worse I seen yet, causing candida in some cases, usually cause the salivary pH to be acid. As such, taking baking soda and a small amount of potassium will do the job in most cases. But in the event it doesn't as well, then common deficiencies are magnesium, zinc and molybdenum supplements needed as being the other missing link. This doesn't happen often, but in event it does those are usually it.
