I decided to try borax powder half & half mix with baking soda as a tooth powder, and am very pleased with it. I had been using sea salt & baking soda half & half previously. The borax makes my teeth & mouth feel really clean, and has helped with my candida problem also.

Where did you get the Borax? Is it the same as the laundry detergent? Thanks...

Replied By Anonymous (Philadelphia, Pa) on 11/12/2009

yes it is. not boraxo (as this is mixed with soap) laundry borax is pure sodium tetraborate or should be.

The box of Borax I have says on the back that it should not be taken internally and that if you get any in your mouth or eyes, you should call the doctor immediately.

Is borax safer to put in your mouth than the box says it is or do I have a bad brand? After reading your post on using borax with baking soda as a toothpaste, I went into my garage looking for some. But when my dad found out what I was going to use the borax for, he took it away from me and hid it elsewhere in the house.

So... does the borax you use have the same warning label or is there a food grade version out there? Thank you.

Yes its safe. The government (FDA) doesn't want you to know natural remedies, they prefer you feed their system.

They're mindset is depopulation and control. They want you to spend lots of money on their marketed products, while you slowly get sicker and sicker. As a medical or dental patient, you're a ca$h cow to them. Same with gum spirit turpentine to get rid of parasites (that causes cancer) they want you to believe its poison, but its not.

Did you by chance mean mean Boran that I can believe helping your teeth because Boran has been shown to help bone strength in studies with animals.

Hi, I would like to know if borax actually does something besides just making teeth feel clean. Does it make enamel stronger and/or whiter? Does it help to overgrow cavities? Doesn't it wear off enamel instead? What kind of chemical process happens with teeth when borax gets on them? And doesn't baking soda wear off enamel eventually?

Replied By Ronnie (Santa Barbara, Ca) on 09/12/2012

NAY on your teeth! The mechanical action of brushing borax on your teeth cannot be good for enamel. It's abrasive, therefore very bad for enamel. Rub it between your fingers, you'll see what I mean.

Baking soda is not abrasive, and I use that with Dr. B______s liquid soap. I've found that using the soap in a small squeeze bottle at 50/50 with water keeps the bottle opening from clogging. I haven't had a cavity in many years.

If you want to use boron (that's what is in borax) boil boric acid in distilled water to dissolve the crystals (as for eye wash), but the amount to ingest is very small. You could use that with baking soda, but I think Dr. B______s is the better way to go.

Agreed on the uselessness of commercial toothpaste, you can actually feel that scum in your mouth after brushing. Furthermore, if it has flouride, it displaces iodine in the body, and you are ingesting the flouride even if you don't swallow. Stick to natural.

Use dissolved borax (not dry) for tooth brushing. Kills bacterial infections, and kills fungal infections. Dissolve borax powder in small glass of hot/warm water. Use in bathing, tooth brushing, and laundery to help reduce candida, and other fungal infections/infestations.

I used a bit of Borax at the front door for ants, and it was completely burning my eyes at the other side of the house so much I had to vacuum it up at 3am. DO NOT USE BORAX in your mouth PLEASE!

Hi, There is nothing wrong using borax very very little amount ( 1/8 of a tea spoon in one liter of water) is great for bone health, Arthritis and Candida cleansing.

Replied By Joyce (Lansdowne, Pa) on 03/08/2013

Janice, Did you use Borax or Boric acid. There is a difference. We use boric acid to get rid of insects and borax in our laundry.

Greetings in the name of the Messiah, Jesus Christ: Peace.

I have been inspired to write today on an issue that has been bothering me quite a bit the last period of time of recent.

I have a tooth pain in my lower jaw and I don't know what is causing it but it has been bothering me on and off for several years. In the past I have made and used clove extract in Alcohol, cloves soaked in Extra Virgin Olive Oil to alleviate the pain.

In the last week I have gradually been noticing that my sleep is being affected, I must not be entering into REM sleep, or perhaps deep Delta wave sleep, I am not certain which), and this dawned on me because I have felt less alert recently during day light hours.

And about 2 nights ago I realized that I had a faint throbbing in my lower jaw and now am certain that it is causing my sleep disruption.

Now, after having read a number of posts here, I had a brain storm which I have tried. First of all I have settled in my mind that I believe that God did not make junk when he made me, two (2) that the teeth can be re-mineralise and three (3) that this problem can be solved using things in my possession already.

So, going on the above stated theories I have done the following:

In a 12 ounce glass canning jar

I added two (2) teaspoons of Azomite which is a clay mined in Utah the has many many trace minerals;

two (2) I added two (2) teaspoons of ground dry turmeric powder;

(3) I added three (3) teaspoons of DMSO and finally I added a few droppers full of extract of turmeric ( made from turmeric powder soaked in alcohol).

And four (4)I filled the rest of the jar with distilled water

"the protocol" I am going to use now:

What I am going to do is take a teaspoon of this multiple times and swish it around in my mouth, and I probably ought to swallow the solution ( there is nothing in it that would cause injury and I already drink DMSO, I eat turmeric, I drink distilled water, and I also consume turmeric extract).

[Azomite is another example of a God made thing that could likely be very beneficial to the health of men and women but is not currently approved; yet, like DMSO, Azomite is fully approved and encouraged for animals. I guess it is up to the man or the woman to decide for themselves whether or not Azomite is a good idea. ]

I have gathered together some information on Azomite for my readers at my site and put a bit of information to get them familiar with this God made dust. (God used dust to make Adam so perhaps he used Azomite and perhaps God was standing in Utah, could explain why the Mormons made their headquarters in Utah, LOL).

http://hebrewofyhwh.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/what-is-azomite-should-it-be-used-for-the-man-obeying-god/

God willing, I will let my readers know what has happened with this experiment I am doing and I will return here to post the results. Thank you, my dear Reader.

I am not certain about this "protocol" that I made up yet. It is 3:09 AM and I seem to have trouble relaxing. I may have consumed too much of the blend I made through out the day. I think it is the Azomite I have swallowed too much of because I have had this same experience after drinking Azomite in water too in the past. So. Hold off on this until further. I wouldn't swallow this. I am now just going to use it as a mouth wash several times a day and see if this goes away. It seems to me that the solvent DMSO would help make the trace minerals more available to the teeth, though. Until further notice, please use your own due diligence.

Also consider using a sprinkle of turmeric and baking soda in good water, use that to brush with, rinse with and drink with. Good for so many things, not just good oral health. Blessings!

You're talking about boron, I believe, the mineral. Boron has actually been described by many including I believe the owner of this site, as an extremely important essential mineral that has been all but entirely sapped from the soils for almost all of global architecture.

In other words, we're all deficient. So yes, the person you're replying to was talking about boron, even if they weren't aware of it, beause Borax is one of the only sources of boron left for the average Joe who doesn't want to fork out hundreds on boron supplements when the stuff should be dirt (pun not intended) cheap.

There are formulas you can find on this site on how to properly dilute borax for consumption to restore a boron deficiency. I did a month or so of daily 5mg boron via borax. I feel great now, but I made a lot of changes during that time so I can't attribute anything to boron. But damn, do I ever feel great.
