Pennsylvania has a good-sized Amish population who have been using Borax in many different applications since it was first introduced. There is a story about an 80 year old Amish man who suffered with arthritis. Every morning his wife would add "a pinch" of Borax to his first cup of coffee which allowed him to walk 11 miles each morning on his daily task. He's now in his 90's and continues to walk, move, and function fully. I'd say "a pinch" in one's first cup of coffee is worth the benefits of this amazing mineral.

BORAX: B4Na2O7.10H2O, Sodium borate decahydrate
ALLEDGEDLY,
If humans have (2) kinds of blood: Iron Rich Blood (positive blood types) and Copper Rich Blood (negative blood types), then there should exist TWO standards for treatments. There is not a "one cure fits all".
BORAX, therefore, is only a suitable metal detox for bloods that are rich in copper and are RH-.

perdonami, mi spieghi perchè chi ha sangue negativo, il boro fa da chelante? e per chi ce l'ha positivo cosa dovrebbe assumere per disintossicarsi in maniera naturale dei metalli?
grazie mille
Forgive me, but could you explain why boron acts as a chelator for those with negative blood types? And for those with positive blood types, what should they take to naturally detoxify from metals?
Thank you very much.

Borax Dosages
I know the dosing for borax has been done to death but given that most sources out there refer to the 3-6mg/max 10-20mg doses with only Ted referencing the higher 114/56mg doses, I do wonder where Ted got these numbers from.
It's all well and good experimenting on oneself (which I am) but given the variety of views and of ever-evolving scientific understanding (as it should be) and also given the degree of fakery and unfortunately of gaslighting and even intentional misdirection that exists out there these days, it behoves us all to check sources where we can. I just find it interesting that nobody except Ted seems to have come up with these higher doses and therefore would like to see some references or indication of where the numbers came from.

Hallo Sue
Ted hat recht ich als gesunde nehme ich jeden Tag bis 2 gr Borax die enthalt bis zu 230 mg Bor. Menschen mit krankheiten nehmen auch dieses dosis bis sie Gesund werden Kur messig bis zu halben Jahr oder mehr. Ich nehme sie zeit 5 jahren und lebe noch ohne Medikamente. Bin 70 jahre alt Renne jeden Tag...
Hello Sue
Ted's right. As a healthy person, I take up to 2 grams of borax every day, which contains up to 230 mg of boron. People with illnesses also take this dose until they get better, with treatment lasting up to six months or more. I've been taking it for five years and am still living without medication. I'm 70 years old and run every day...

Although I appreciate your anecdotal evidence, my question was where did Ted get his numbers from. I'm new here and the mysterious Ted seems to be a go-to person. I'd be a fool to just go along with things without trying to find the sources.
Hi Sue,
Since Ted is no longer on EC, we can only speculate at how he arrived at the dose that he used. I feel he may have used several factors to arrive at the dose he recommended for the purpose of arthritis.
The first thought is that he would have used the LD50 of borax in an animal model since there isn't an LD50 for humans and borax. In the rat model, the LD50 varies between 4.5 and 6.08 g/kg depending on sex and rat variety. This is discussed here :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0041008X72900373
If you convert the lower LD50 for the rat model (4.5 g/kg) to a human equivalent dose
That would look something like .729 g/kg. So for myself, I weigh approximately 80 kg, I would multiply my 80 kg x .729 = 58.32 g and that would represent the LD50 for borax in me, based on the rat model.
So this would suggest that borax has relatively low toxicity in humans, especially at the doses Ted was recommending. Ted's recommended dose for men is 1/4 measuring teaspoon. When I weighed that amount on my digital milligram scale it came out to approximately 985 mg or less than 1 gram. So based on the .729 g/kg conversion from the rat model, I am more than 50 times below the LD50 for humans.
So then why did Ted go higher than others in the world who had suggested borax for various forms of arthritis. To the best of my knowledge, Dr Rex Newnham was the founder of the idea that borax/boron could work as a remedy for arthritis based on soil content of boron in various areas of the world. His recommended dose was significantly lower than Ted's recommendation, but when I tried his dose for my arthritis it was ineffective for me.
When I tried Ted's dose for men, it put my arthritis into complete remission. When I tried Ted's dose for women of 1/8th teaspoon, it helped relieve much of the pain, but was not 100% effective.
I further feel that another reason Ted chose a higher dose is because the borax remedy does not work overnight and I speculate that Ted felt that giving a higher dose, that was still well below the LD50, would produce the fastest results and people would be more likely to stick with the borax remedy if they soon started seeing results, but might drop it if they didn't see any results in two or three weeks. People have reported seeing some benefit in as little as two or three weeks on EC. That might not have occurred at the lower suggested dosing schedules by others and may resulted in the testers stopping their testing.
To me, a minimum testing period for Ted's oral borax dose is one month. Dr. Newnham felt that maximum benefit from borax/boron in people with advanced arthritis was reached in 3 to 4 months. At one month, I clearly had benefit from Ted's remedy and at 3 months I was in complete remission and have remained there for over 17 years now. I'm pretty sure that I remember Ted saying that a lower dose could work, but it would take longer to do so.
For those who have a fear of taking oral borax or run into the upset stomach issue, I would give consideration to Borax Lotion (BL) which I describe using in a friend who didn't like taking oral borax because it caused a stair step pattern of dry skin on her skin. I made borax lotion for her and it made her arthritic hands completely pain free in 3 weeks with no stair step skin pattern. I tell her story and describe how I made BL here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/borax-lotion.html
I have taken hundreds of supplements in my life that helped many health issues in myself and many people, but borax was life changing for me as my psoriatic arthritis was severe and the pain was throughout my body. For me, borax was a miracle. It doesn't work for everyone and there are many forms of arthritis, but it does seem to work for the majority of people.

Hallo für dieses werte finden sie keinen studien weil für so was gesundes und billiges heil mittel hat niemand hohen summen geld investieren. Ich nehme an Ted`s werte kommt aus erfahrungen von vielen leuten die Borax benutzen. Einer Mensch muss wissen minimal und höchts dosis und dann sich langsam herantasten.Wie die Paracellcius sagt Dosis macht das gift...
Nimm deine gesundheit Eigener Hand....
Hello, you won't find any studies for these values because no one wants to invest large sums of money in such a healthy and inexpensive remedy. I assume Ted's values come from the experiences of many people who use borax. A person needs to know the minimum and maximum dose and then work their way up slowly. As Paracelsus says, the dose makes the poison...
Take your health into your own hands...

When I tore my meniscus, the dr said I had arthritis in both knees and wondered why I didn't know it because, according to him, it looked pretty bad. But I've been taking borax for years (for the parasite biofilm degradation) and never had arthritis pain - now we know why, right? (I may very well have arthritis in other joints, but no scan so no proof. Who cares, I don't feel it.)

Hi sixwolves,
In my opinion, Walter Last's borax protocol is too weak to work for the majority of people whereas Ted's borax protocol is likely to be more effective for most people. from my personal experience I know that Walter's remedy would not have worked for me, but Ted's remedy has kept my PA in remission for 17 pain free years.
Here is a link to EC's Borax page which describes Ted's Borax remedy :

We have to take into account the censorship that medical professionals are subject to.
Example with vit D: if we follow the official recommended dosages (here in France), you'll barely keep alive, but you'll never increase your serum vit D level.
As for borax, I've read that you should gradually increase the dosage, so listen to your body and do it carefully.
Be sure to take cofactors as a precaution (vit D, good quality magnesium, etc.).

Please do not give up! I would keep increasing your dosages each week until you see a change as you are still at a lower dosage. I am currently at 1/8 teaspoon per day in my coffee and I am noticing improvements each week.

A quick phone call to the Poison call centre and an over the phone check for various symptoms and failures the Poison expert assured me I would be ok and be more careful with what I self medicate with.
In that 2 years I was cured from an "incurable" spinal stenosis malady and further blood tests showed no ill affect from the increased input of Borax. My kidney function is very good.
I now take Borax in accurate doses as recommended.
More is not always better!

Hi Steve Central Coast NSW. I'm so thrilled to hear you were cured of spinal stenosis! Don't let Pharmacists or Doctors scare you.
A 00 size capsule is just under an 1/8th of a tsp which is the amount recommended for women on EC. You stated you were cured of your "incurable disease". So there is nothing to fret about or be more careful about. Your body clearly needed it. Let your body be the judge of this and do not be scared by what you were told by a so called "Expert" nor feel the need to be more careful. YOU were successful in what THEY could not help you with that was obviously, actually curable! :)
You've given me soooo much hope as I have severe spinal stenosis in my neck, upper and lower back. I've just begun taking Borax again in hopes of helping my shoulder pain and the catching that happens when I raise my right shoulder.
Also, I read Borax was successful from a couple of others for TMJ which I've had for 35 yrs. I'm really hoping it will give me the ability to fall asleep again as I have total and complete insomnia.
Taking Borax always helps my burning bladder go away. I buy PH litmus paper roll on Amazon by Hydrion, that shows my urine PH is low around 5.5 or 6.0 when the burning is happening. After I take the Borax my urine PH rises to 7.0 or higher within a matter of a few hours or less and no more burning when I go.
I find it very interesting that you just popped it into a 00 capsule and that you did not need to spread it out throughout the day and it still reversed your spinal stenosis with 1/2 the dose recommended for men. Praise God! Thank you EC!

HI MIKE,
Me too, no not hungry, but when I take Borax or Boron, I sleep deep and usually all night. I try not to take Boron or Borax too often because, "We've got work to do". During my night wake up times, I pray.
Anyway, I was waiting for someone to answer your question. I did some hunting myself, all I could come up with was perhaps it is because Boron helps in better Magnesium absorption.
I take quite a bit of Magnesium because I get foot cramps, and because I still drink coffee and that uses up Magnesium. I have heard quite a few people say that they take magnesium to get a good night's sleep.
The fact that Boron improves magnesium absorption is mentioned in the PubMed article below. The other article is interesting too.

And just how many sips does a 1-liter bottle hold? The answer is about 67 sips. This breakdown helps you gauge your boron intake more precisely, ensuring you stay within Ted's recommended dosage, whether you're sipping throughout the day or planning your intake more strategically.

How do you define the term "sip"? It would be more explanatory if the dose was quoted in tsp or Tbsp.

Hello, I did the 1/4 tsp in a litre of water first day loading but by the time I reached 3/4 of the bottle about 5-6 hours later I started to feel antsy and nervous. I was a little anxious. Later in the evening I felt anxious again. Like it had a second cycle in my body. Probably going through my liver. I have read that the dosage of the 1/4 tsp = 114mg is incorrect. Can you please confirm that it is correct?
I find a lot of people but especially women do not tolerate the recommended doses on this site initially. I start people out on 1/16 of a USA teaspoon in liter of water. I will have them do this 3 times a week the first week. If that does not bother them next week I have them do that 5 days and take a break over the weekend. If they are an average size man or larger I will have them jump to 1/8th teaspoon 3 days a week and build up again to 5 days a week. IF they are women I have them try 1/8th teaspoon on one day and stay at 1/16th the rest of the week. The idea is to sneak up on the full daily dose without negative side effects. If they get anything more than a mildly upset stomach I will have them take a day or two off and back the dose down. Your body has been deficient your entire life on this trace mineral. Not everyone can jump in at a high dose. The goal is to heal your body not make yourself sick and miserable.
My wife only takes it once a week at 1/8th teaspoon and that keeps all of her joints pain free. I have been taking 1/4 teaspoon per day for years and it only helped my joint pain the first month or so. It greatly improved my Vitamin D absorption though! I am upping my dose though to 1/2 a teaspoon of Borax and Backing soda to see if a higher dose helps.
I started my Dad on 1/4 teaspoon of Borax and 1/2 teaspoon of backing soda each night before bed. It stopped his kidney disease and reversed it one grade and improved his joints and all of his other health markers. It also cured his constipation. He takes a lot of medications that cause constipation but that is not a problem now. It has not done anything for my joints, tendons or ligaments but I am convinced that it along with vitamin D and K2 removed the calcium deposits from my heart valves.
Before taking Borax no matter how much vitamin D3 I took I was always deficient. So start slow this is not a race. Take what you can and titrate the dose upward as your body can handle it. Do not be afraid to stop it and let any side effects go away before restarting!

Is it okay to start if one has Ulcers?
Robert,
There are no human studies to answer the question about ulcers and borax that you are asking. There are only animal studies and those studies show that borax can cause microscopic ulcers as discussed in this study :
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' Conclusion: Both of low dose (150mg / kg BW) and high dose (300mg / kg BW) of borax exposure for 8 weeks cause microscopic gastric ulcer on rats. '
Of importance is human equivalency of the three doses they used in this study in the rats. The three dose were :
50 mg/kg
150 mg/kg
300 mg/kg
If you convert these to human equivalency approximations, they would look like this :
8.1 mg/kg
24.3 mg/kg
48.6 mg/kg
In the study, they said the last two doses, which are higher than the first dose, caused microscopic ulcers, but when you look at their data, the lowest dose also showed some issues. When you convert that lowest dose of 8.1 mg/kg to a human weighing 80 kg or roughly 176 pounds, the dose would be 648 mg per day and this puts the dose in between Ted's dose for women and his dose for men which are roughly 500 mg for women and 1000 mg for men.
Based on the above information, it sounds like you would be using a safer approach to first heal your ulcers before attempting Ted's borax regimen.
Regarding the ulcers, natural remedies aside, your doctor should be able to put you on an antibiotic regimen to cure them fairly in most cases.

Another John here.
Fenbendazole, Ivermectin also has this reaction sometimes along with Borax, what do they all have in common, they are antiparasitic. Feeling nervous or very anxious as I did, is some of this parasitic load dying off and releasing more mess that is absorbed in your blood (which is then cleaned up). You just need more. I have family taking a teaspoon a day and they feel better than ever. The Herx will pass. Push through.
Borax has specifically fixed in my family;
- Arthritis
- Thyroid (no more thyroxin)
- Regrowing Knee joint (Slowly)
- Halted all tooth decay and prevented any new problems
- We all sleep soundly now and can go back to sleep if woken
- Cramps, also take Epsom salts and Magnesium Chloride. Borax works with these also.
- Translucent tooth enamel regrown in days. Two dentists said this was impossible. BTW, your teeth are alive.
- Hair, nails strong (I wash hair and brush teeth with it)
- Eyesight clearer (no focus change)
- The last for Borax for now is that we...... no longer get sun burn.. Believe it or not. We used to get burnt in 5 minutes of the Australian Sun, not anymore. It feels good to be in the sun. First exposure I was ruby red like never before and quickly. However, no pain and no peeling and it became a tan. Never since.
For other problems, I would also say to take Chlorine Dioxide and DMSO. A third would be a Bob Beck blood electrification unit and these three are going to cover nearly every problem a person has. Cancer, Autism, everything.
Green alkaline raw juice made at home also will help fix many problems or compliment.
It is worse than Pharma holding back these cures, Much Disease is actively given to you, most via vaccines.
Many more cures (Rife machine, Lakhovsky MWO), they don't want you healthy, fighting fit and questioning.
Good luck to you.

Hi Tom,
It will still work if you are tolerating it well. Some people are more sensitive to borax and can not tolerate such a high concentration at one time. People have reported upset stomach from higher concentration borax as might be delivered in just one cup of coffee consumed in just a half hour compared to one quart of water consumed throughout the day. I tolerate borax very well and did not have any stomach upset or other side effects.

Hi interesting information. We have been using DMSO for 3 years. We make colloidal silver everyday.
We just finished yet another 30 ivermectin cleanse and now we're onto the fenbenzidol pardon my spelling.
Do you take the borax everyday and when if the best time with or without food.
Hi Heather,
If you are asking me, I do the weekdays on with Saturday and Sunday off.
My preference is to have a little food in my stomach when consuming borax water as occasionally when I have taken it on an empty stomach, I have had a little gastro discomfort. Sipping it throughout the day seems to be the easiest on any potential stomach discomfort as it is more like a timed release formulation for those who are sensitive to Borax.

For me, I am a little heavier at 200 lbs and a woman and what works for me is I started with the 1/8 tsp in water, it worked well for me, I started slowly for a week or so and I also read to take a magnesium capsule once daily to offset any symptoms as this borax seems to work hand in hand with the magnesium. I take one 500mg magnesium capsule in the morning with breakfast. This works for me. After doing well with the 1/8 of a tsp of the 20 mule team borax I upped the dosage to where I take this two times per day in a hot large cup of coffee.
I have taken this for a month now and it seems to be helping me with the stiffness in my shoulder joints which I could not raise above my shoulder level without pain before and can raise straight up now, much stronger with very little pain if any and I run my rototiller about once a week, have a large garden and work daily on two acres, keeping it mowed and taken care of. Plus I am almost 70 yrs old. This has also been helping to dissolve my kidney stones and has helped my IBS very much. Helped my partner's arthritis in his knees a lot also. So for me this works well.

It seems that if 75 mg is 1/8 of a tsp, but Dr N. took 60, forgive my math (it's horrible) but wouldn't that mean you should be taking less than 1/8 to get 60 mg (his 30 mg 2x a day)???

Please! Do yourself a favour, and STOP TAKING ANY AND ALL SUBSTANCES until you buy a scale....
When weighing doses of any particular substance but ABSOLUTELY WITH NO EXCEPTIONS for drugs/medication, you NEED to be using a Calibrated Milligram Scale (so the units appear as 0.000g and in this case if you want 75mg you want it to read 0.075g when weighing out your dose.)
1/8th of a teaspoon is NOT a unit of measurement, maybe for flour or something that doesn't matter at all, but NOT for medications when the recommended doses are in the milligrams... JUST so we are clear, a milligram is 1000th of a gram, this is miniscule in comparison.. If you were to use this spoon method with a more harmful substance you would SURELY kill yourself! PLEASE be careful!

Borax is less toxic than table salt. In the case of Borax, I think the measuring spoon dosage is perfectly fine. A scale would be useful for perhaps things like Sodium thiosulfate.

Borax is not elemental Boron. So your example is a bit flawed. Now if they are purchasing pure powdered Boron reagent grade or higher than yes you are 100% correct.
The doses involved on this site do not require the precision that you are demanding. The mineral Sodium Boron is less toxic than Sodium Chloride and it's LD50 is much higher. No one would be alarmed at someone putting a 1/4 teaspoon of table salt aka Sodium Chloride in a liter of water and drinking it let alone using an accurate scale to measure out the amount wanted.
In fact in nature water supplies can have up to 300mg/L and soil 33mg per kilogram.
The LD50 for Borax is 3.16gm/kilogram so 3160mg per kg of mass. So a 150lbs. man or 68kg man would need to consume 214,880mg of Borax in a day to have a 50% chance of death. Now if talking about elemental Boron, not Borax, I think adults have died at 15,000mg to 20,000mg. So again a huge safety profile for the dose being recomended on this site and other sites.
You would really have to work hard to get to those levels. Most people get lose stool the first time they ingest 1/4 of a teaspoon in water I can not imagine anyone ever approaching a level that would be of true concern. Again it is less toxic than table salt!

A pinch of borax in 4 ounces of water.
Taken two times a day. By pinch, I mean if you were to reach into a salt jar and pinch just enough salt to sprinkle on an entree, about that much. (Don't ask me to count the granules!) I spent the past 10 years on and off doing Ted's 1/8 teaspoon of borax in 1 liter of water. However, a pinch 1-2 times a day seems to be the perfect amount for me. I do the first dose on an empty stomach in the morning. 5 days on and take the weekend off. I was inspired by the post on Earth Clinic in the borax cures section to try the pinch after reading where someone wrote about how they generously sprinkled borax on their food every meal. No side effects with this pinch dosage! Previously borax made me feel upset for absolutely no reason like other women have mentioned here and there on the site. With the pinch of borax, after less than a day I feel light on my feet and have no joint pain lingering after strenuous karate training.
What an amazing remedy.

People, there is bad info out there giving wrong dosages. Check for yourself:
https://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/volume-to-weight
Borax decahydrate [Na2B4O7 ⋅ 10H2O] Laundry Borax:
5 ml (5cc) Borax = 8.65g Borax X 11.34% (Boron in Borax) = .98g (980mg) Boron
+1 liter (1000ml) water = 980mg/l Boron Aq
Therefore a 1ml dose = .98mg/ml Boron
So...
5ml (tsp) = 4.9mg Boron Aq
1 Liter / 5ml (1 tsp) = 200 5ml Doses
So one 5ml teaspoon of Borax in a liter of water will give you 200 teaspoons of solution total, take as much as you need for the dosage you want.
Each 5ml teaspoon of the solution has approx. 5mg of Boron.

Shake the bottle to dissolve and then let rest in refrigerator overnight. Next morning take 1 teaspoon of the CONCENTRATE and add to whatever amount of water/liquid you want.
I have been taking, up to 3 doses a day, this for about 4 years, with occasional 'breaks' of 1 to 5 days a month, without side-effects or gastric distress.
When starting out used 1 teaspoon on 8oz 'well-water' once per day, followed this for 6 months prior to increasing to 2 then 3 dose per day. Now I just add 1 teaspoon of CONCENTRATE to about 2 ounces of 'well-water'.
If you don't have a good source of 'well-water', then I would use 'distilled' water, to make the CONCENTRATE.
The following website is what I based my CONCENTRATE on;

I hope this helps the confusion. Blessing and peace to all.
