Can borax be used for someone who has kidney failure? My dad is diabetic with kidney failure and hypertension. He wants to start supplementing with borax for boron. However, we're afraid that it might hurt his kidneys. Any advice?

I see nothing in the MSDS that suggests it impacts the kidneys.

l use many products over the years and personally know manufacturers that say lab use only, but the product is pure. They don't want to be blamed for any ‘wrong' uses. Can't blame them.
Much easier to use premade totally dissolved in solution borax pure lab grade to use in topical applications.

I am on adderall and have been drinking the borax mixture for almost a month. I do about 2-3 days a week instead of 5 (the reason being I forget some days... adhd lol) but I have had no issue whatsoever! If anything my focus, organization, and memory have improved.

When I learned about iodine it wasn't recommended to take vitamin C *with* iodine but wait at least an hour or two. Same with boron. Today I take borax solution in the morning, iodine mid-morning, vitamin C after lunch. Some days none or just one of them but as far as spacing is concerned, this works for me and my family.
