So I am not sure why Borax is so popular but Boron is not. Boron is life changing indeed. Borax maybe so as well. But it astounds me why people do not take Boron instead of Borax.
Boron is regulated and has a proven track record. We take 6 mg a day, and some weeks we up it to 9 mg a day, (3 mg tabs) and it has done wonders. Neither my wife or I have any bone, joint, arthritic pain, and at last check no more arthritis.
We have never tried borax for the very reason that it is not regulated for safety, and can have contaminants in it. In fact it can be severely contaminated as in processing it can be processed in places where other toxic powders are processed as well.
Now by saying this post, do not assume I am against people helping or curing themselves through natural solutions. I am not. Our whole life has been about that. I am just concerned that you could be getting more than you bargained for using borax, instead of boron.

Yes that may be true. But what I was getting at with my post is that Borax is made in Agriculture production facilities, whereas Boron in a pharma (more controlled) facility.Not that Borax does not have the properties you mention, its just that the possibility of contaminants is far greater.

Hello, borax is composed of the elements sodium, boron, oxygen, and hydrogen. One gram of borax contains 11.3% boron. I take up to 3 grams of borax a day, which is 340 mg of boron. It depends on my mood...

Borax is not made in agriculture production facilities. It is mined. Typically in Boron California (the only location of the mine in the USA). Processing/refining happens on site or company owned borate refining plants at or near the mines. U.S. Borax emphasize full refining to remove impurities for high purity agricultural use as often sold directly as micronutrient fertilizers, soil amendments, blended into compound fertilizers etc. This can occur at fertilizer plants but that is NOT processing the Borax itself.

Henkel now owns 20 Mule Team Borax. Their website begs ppl not to ingest their borax or use it on the skin. They don't explain why it is unsafe.
We've seen the MSDS comparing borax to table salt. We know it is safe in its pure form. Why don't we all contact them asking for a borax product that IS pure enough to be ingested and used on the skin. Obviously there is a market for it.
This is their contact page

The MSDS shows borax in its pure form is safe for both ingestion and use on the skin within reasonable limitations. We are requesting Henkel offer a borax product that is pure enough to be ingested and used on the skin. There is a market for such a product.

Prior to doing this, I was taking 6mg per day. Couldn't raise my shoulders, which were severely damaged by Bursitis about 11 years ago after a weekend project that I shouldn't have done alone. They hurt, it was hard to sleep on either side, hard to put my hair into a ponytail. After increasing my Boron intake, I can now raise my arms, sleep on either side, put my hair into a ponytail, & even reach around & unhook my bra -- something I haven't been able to do in years!!
So I'm a believer that at least some of us are deficient in Boron!! I'm like a totally different person!! Also, Dr Ealy has found that Boron chelates aluminum out of the body, in higher doses -- aluminum as from the toxic chemtrails?? This was a HUGE discovery!!
