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!

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.
