Pinch, If I may add another comment, I just remembered another change I made that helped joint pain and stiffness. It was just the simple taking of a couple of calcium capsules per day. Now I have switched to drinking homemade bone broth instead. My feeling is that you had damaged joints and now have fibromyalgia as well.

NO TOMÓ UNA CUCHARADITA DE BORAX, tomó una cucharadita, de la solución resultante de diluir UNA CUCHARADITA en litro de agua. O sea que en total tomó 5 c.c. del litro. En total 30 mg. de borax, o sea 3 mg. de boro.Por otra parte en este foro, la cantidad que se aconseja, es 1/4 o 1/8 de cucharadita en un litro, tomado repartida en el dia, o sea 1 gramo o 500 mg. de borax/dia, que resulta en total 100 mg. ó 50 mg. de boro. O sea, un minimo de 25 veces mas.
Translation
You should read the comment well before answering with such anger.
HE DID NOT TAKE A TEASPOON OF BORAX, he took a teaspoon of the solution resulting from diluting ONE TEASPOON in a liter of water. So in total it took 5 c.c. of the litre. Total 30 mg. of borax, that is 3 mg. of boron. On the other hand, in this forum, the recommended amount is 1/4 or 1/8 teaspoon in a liter, taken spread over the day, that is, 1 gram or 500 mg. of borax/day, resulting in a total of 100 mg. or 50 mg. of boron. That is, a minimum of 25 times more.

Boron is a major active component of Borax.
You may find this link useful and interesting :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36156555/
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Boron at a concentration of 78.125 μg/mL inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. '
The boron content of the Borax may be causing a candida die off. The die off may be causing toxicity itself which is sometimes referred to as a "Herxheimer reaction" and one potential explanation for what you describe as a "loopy feeling".

The molybdenum was insignificant. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Now that she's on 4 days on and 3 days off of the drink and other supplements, she's doing better than she was before. She's now taking Last's energy drink + a few things; ascorbic acid and msm along with the borax, magnesium, apple cider vinegar neutralized with baking soda, high quality probiotic capsul, fermented sauerkraut, b-complex, niacin (flush) and finally vit d3/k2 (10,000/200) and is doing much better than she was before. She's also doing a good job with her breathing retraining, faster walks and weight lifting. These were the results I was looking for. She never was a big supplement taker but this concoction is working.
Now if I can only figure out how to help her get her hair to start growing again.

My weight: 55kg, my hight 170cm. I wanted to take this high dose for about three months and then lower it to a minimum for the rest of my life. Next year I wanted to check on my osteoporosis to see if there is any improvement. So far, nothing helped and I refused the bisphosponat treatment.
If you have an irritation in your esophagus, the borax can worsen it because the normal pH of the esophagus is around seven, but the pH of borax is considerably higher at around 9.24 and that can potentially further irritate an already irritated esophagus.
Ted's recommendation was to mix the 1/8th teaspoon of borax in a quart/liter of water, whereas you only used 24 ounces of water. Another consideration is some people have found benefit at 1/16th teaspoon. Diluting as Ted said to and using a lesser dose may make borax more tolerable, but if it continues to irritate your esophagus even with the changes, you will be better off looking at ECs over 100 other remedies for arthritis here :

I am a woman, tall and weighing almost 80kg .. For this reason I decided to take the dose as for men. I started with half a gram in 1 liter of distilled water, drinking all afternoon .. I haven't noticed any difference for 3 days .. So I put a spoonful of tea in a liter of distilled water, and I drank 100 ml of the mix a day.
On the fifth day, I took the 100ml dose on an empty stomach in the morning, and it prompted me to go to the bathroom. Then I made the enema with a liter of distilled water with 3 tablespoons of baking soda plus 50ml of organic apple cider vinegar. The one who unloaded my body has crushed me without precedent .. Tangles of an abundant cartilage ... I do not know, but I believe that it is the candida, which has detached from my intestine .. It is a really disgusting thing!!!!
I will wait until next week with borax protocol, and then I see if there are general improvements on perianal eczema, in the navel, on the hands and crusts on the head .. Aching joints .. I think, that all of this, they are co-factors of the candida ..
PS: I have some discomfort with the USA measures .. And I often do some blunder.
A warm greeting and thanks for your kindness. Vaiolett

I never had that until the foot soaking. On wednesday I footsoak and on thursday I wake up with sticky blobs in my mouth. Kill those candida, hope to find myself well this year.

Should you be noticing this hump coming back, if you can at all possibly afford to, see a doc (and I'm not a fan of having to see doctors, but sometimes...) and have your cortisone levels checked. Though we need some cortisone to live, it being too high (called Cushing's Syndrome) causes a mess of problems (including bone loss) that can get worse if not put in check.

Borax Side Effects
Hashimotos patients are discouraged from taking iodine. However, borax has removed my debilitating pain. Given me energy, removed brain fog and I feel alive again. I have added iodine every second day transdermally not orally, and my energy levels are amazing. Like the days of old where I could walk, clean, wake up, and basically live life.
I wake up grateful for life! It's amazing what health and no pain can do for emotional health!
The reason I believe from my research that iodine can be bad also is because iodine and bromine are extremely close together in structure. So close that the body mistakes bromide for iodine. And in turn the body rejects the real iodine in turn up taking the toxic bromide. Which leaves us all deficient.
And then you have a toxic sludge running through every cell in body and thyroid in bromide. Boron removes bromide. Its in bread, clothing, bedding etc.. and when the thyroid can up take iodine and not bromide it is optimum health where it should be. (if you remove the bromide)
Cherry angiomas are supposedly bromide. And when on borax people get more. that is a detox effect. Once that is gone from system a person will not have their iodine.. so could cause sluggishness.
The key is to not be iodine deficient. Nor have too much.
And Hashimotos patients generally need T3 to help correct the hypothyroid. (many patients are not treated properly because their endocrinologists look at labs not individuals. And some just prescribe t4 which does not help and makes it worse. So there is too much needless suffering.)
This borax and iodine has changed my life in a veryshort period of time.
Because of the bromide detoxing I only use iodine every second day so my body does not think I am overdosing on iodine falsely. I also use only iodine with oil base and NOT alcohol base iodine. It is easier for body to gradually remove what's bad and replace with good.
I think I will post this comment in borax testimonial section so others with hashimotos and other auto immune can find it.

Borax and boric acid are generally out of your system in about four days so it doesn't seem a likely cause three to four weeks after you stopped using it. Ask your doctor to try a topical corticosteroid on it. If that significantly helps or clears it up, it seems more likely to be dermatitis in a form such as eczema or psoriasis.
It is possible that borax might have started it had it appeared while you were using borax, but you said it appeared 3 to 4 weeks after you stopped using borax. Other causes can be a bacterial or viral infection or an allergic reaction to something you may have used more recently. Ask your doctor about the topical corticosteroid which requires a prescription. The antibiotic was in case it was a bacterial infection, but that won't help a viral infection. The itching can suggest potential for a fungal infection and was likely the reason for the fungal cream.
I don't know what you mean by numbing cream. Was that something like Lidocaine?

Hello.
My mom in her 70's has been taking borax for nearly a month. The last digit of her thumbs, index fingers and middle finger tingle, are somewhat numb and at times uncomfortable. She was a typist most of her life. She's experiencing bone loss noticeable in her teeth. Her energy is not great.
She lifts weights and walks and has a very health diet (a lot of raw fruit and lightly cooked veggies, all organic) though she does have a cheat night every week (pizza) and does eat organic wheat soft taco shells 1-2 times a week. She had a hysterectomy, part of her thyroid removed and suffered from IBS for a long time. Now and for over a decade, her digestion is very good, no IBS and she takes zero meds. We're trying too reverse her bone loss, increase her energy and hopefully help her finger tip issue.
It appears that the borax makes her more tired than normal and saps her energy.
She started at 1/16 tspn and is now taking 1/4 + 1/8 tspn daily which I believe is the recommended amount for woman post-menopause with osteoporosis. She also takes 10,000iu d3/k2, vit B complex, molybdenom, vit C (camu camu), magnesium chloride, and recently added 2 tblsn ACV pre-mixed with 1/2 tspn BS. The vit c, acv/bs mix and molybdenom are added to her borax drink which she sips throughout the day.
Anybody have any advice or experience? Herx reactions and/or detox slowing her down via kidneys or liver is what I'm thinking.
More information would be helpful. Example, did she start taking borax at the same time she started taking the other supplements? How long has she been fatigued? When did the numbness in the fingers start? Is she losing bone in other areas? This is important because she could have a particular type of infection in the mouth that causes bone loss from only this area in the body.
However, based on the description, if she was my mother I would stop all the supplements and add them back to her regimen one at a time. After a week or two add a second supplement, and so on. This will help you to identify a specific supplement(s) as the possible cause.
Also, many supplements are adulterated with various "toxins". This often causes reactions, examples: magnesium stearate, alcohols, soy additives, toxic residues from what they clean their machines with, mold contamination, etc....
Many people react to magnesium stearate, I had to eliminate all supplements that contained this additive because it caused several adverse reactions including fatigue.
Many baking soda brands are not actually mined (made in the lab) and include toxins. There are several good brands that are mined and do not include toxins (e.g., drclarkstore.com and others).
Many brands of ACV are contaminated with mold (patulin and others). These could definitely cause reactions in some people, especially if they already have a fungal/yeast/mold illness. Muscle testing the products could help if you can find an experienced practitioner or a syncrometer.
However, as you concluded, it is probably a detox reaction in which case it is important to scale back on everything and slowly build it back up (months). And, ensure she is adequately hydrated and supporting her detox organs (kidneys, liver, colon/intestines, etc...) with various herbs or tinctures.
Your mom is fortunate to have you looking out for her, hope this issue resolves itself soon.

Thank you for the reply to my question. That was a while back and I had almost forgotten I asked it.
On a digital mg scale, my 1/4 teaspoon weighs in around 485 mg, but 1/4 teaspoons vary by manufacturer and from country to country so 500 mg seems close enough. If borax is approximately 11.4% boron, then I should be getting about 55 mg of boron each weekday or about 275 mg of boron per week, a very significant amount. I've been taking it about 15 years now and it has kept my severe PA in remission during that period. For me it has been life altering!

Yes, it has shown benefit for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) also as discussed in the following human study :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5289089/
Here is a relevant study quote :
' After 60 days, both types of boron significantly improve the clinical scores, in association with significant decrease in the serum levels of ESR, hsCRP, IL-1α, IL-6, and TNF-α with remarkable superiority for calcium fructoborate (CFB) over sodium tetraborate (NTB), compared to baseline and placebo-treated group.'
Calcium Fructoborate is a type of boron derived from plants while sodium tetraborate is Borax. In this study the calcium fructoborate outperformed the borax most likely because the amount given contained more boron than the borax did. Calcium fructoborate though, is a good option to have for people who are opposed to taking a laundry booster for their arthritis. It isn't as inexpensive as borax which costs less than 5 dollars per year.
In the above study they used either the calcium fructoborate or borax in addition to the biologic, Etanercept. They didn't use an arm without Etanercept because they said it was "ethically unaccepted", but there is other research and anecdotal reports where borax or boron has been used as a sole treatment for arthritis as discussed here :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1566627/
Here is a relevant quote :
' Since 1963, evidence has accumulated that suggests boron is a safe and effective treatment for some forms of arthritis. The initial evidence was that boron supplementation alleviated arthritic pain and discomfort of the author. This was followed by findings from numerous other observations epidemiologic and controlled animal and human experiments. These findings included a) analytical evidence of lower boron concentrations in femur heads, bones, and synovial fluid from people with arthritis than from those without this disorder; b) observation evidence that bones of patients using boron supplements are much harder to cut than those of patients not using supplements; c) epidemiologic evidence that in areas of the world where boron intakes usually are 1.0 mg or less/day the estimated incidence of arthritis ranges from 20 to 70%, whereas in areas of the world where boron intakes are usually 3 to 10 mg, the estimated incidence of arthritis ranges from 0 to 10%; d) experimental evidence that rats with induced arthritis benefit from orally or intraperitoneally administered boron; e) experimental evidence from a double-blind placebo-boron supplementation trial with 20 subjects with osteoarthritis. A significant favorable response to a 6 mg boron/day supplement was obtained; 50% of subjects receiving the supplement improved compared to only 10% receiving the placebo. '
A link to the full study is available inside of the above link.
Ted's dosing recommendations for borax are described here :

My personal experience is that borax has kept my severe psoriatic arthritis (PA) in remission for 16 years now. PA is just one of many forms of arthritis.
Good luck to your daughter and keep us posted on her progress if she and her doctor decide for her to test borax!

Where on the toe is the tear, top or bottom? The borax could be slowly clearing a fungal infection slowly, which is coming to the surface. Because the issue is manifesting on your foot, I am guessing fungal, where so many people have issues, including myself!
Alternatively, the borax might be causing some kind of deficiency which you will need to resolve, one that causes your skin to tear or split. You may be low in a certain vitamin or mineral and the borax depletes it even more. Vitamin C or Vitamin B perhaps?

I just weighed a USA 1/8th teaspoon level full of borax on a digital milligram scale and it weighs 445 mg. Using your boron figure for borax of 11.36%, that comes out to 50.552 mg of boron or less than half of what you said. Borax can vary slightly in weight due to moisture content, but not anywhere near that much, 445 mg vs the 1062 mg you mentioned. I say USA 1/8th teaspoon because the size can vary by country.
Based on the above, a US 1/4 teaspoon at level full should offer approximately just over 100 mg of boron.

Of course, there's plenty of chances that the blood sugar reactions are because borax stresses parasites. Still praying for a breakthrough in all this!
Type 1 diabetes, have had a bone tumor, teeth issues. I got amalgam fillings when I was 14 and diabetes and all the rest of the issues came after that (heavy metal troubles! ). I do wish my family had known about parasite cleansing before all the other crap happened to me!

Right now I am clearing out some fungal overgrowth, using various tools, and ready to add borax, so now here researching. Thanks to all posters, it is amazing to what a community can achieve.
It sounds to me that your body started to 'get rid of something' right away. That something inside that is likely causing fibro pain. If you ask yourself "I WONDER what it could be that is coming out?" and let it sit unanswered, you may get an insight in some time. Like a memory how you were stung by jellyfish, or got some paint on your body, or lived in a place with some mold infestation. I highly recommend to look up the Kauffman diet in search and read a bit. I found lot of answers to my questions there, and also some great recipes to help get the extra fungus/candida etc out of the body.
Detox happens with the change of foods as well, bit of nausea, so I have some water with a couple of slices of ginger ready, and also activated charcoal and finely ground up psyllium husk to absorb toxins when they are coming out. I would put some clay poultice on the bumps to absorb whatever is coming out of them, and when clay dries, wash it gently off. I used to it daily for various conditions. Then smear a very thin layer of coconut oil, which has antifungal properties.

I put 1/8 tsp of borax in a half gallon of water and only drank a bit more than half yesterday. I got some severe stomach upset and it started some of my Gerd issues up which in turn raised my blood pressure up to 192/108. I did have some food which I should not have had but now it is hard to tell what if or both could be causing it. I got a stinging sensation in my right big toe after I went to bed last night and it is still there upon awakening. I have a little bit of trouble breathing and kept waking up through the night. I am recovering from esophageal or silent reflux less than three weeks ago and it has been good up until niw.
I have been taking A gi repair supplement that has been working wonderfully, also sleeping on a bed wedge. I wanted desperately for the borax to work and am hoping maybe there is something I can take with it to counteract the stomach upset? My first step is to get the fluoride out, then the mercury and three root canals. Im afraid my heart conditions wont hold out before I can get detoxed and it is so so depressing. I have never been depressed like this in my whole life, I am 52. I hope someone reads this and can help. Thanks.
