Trying to give a litre of water to a pet is difficult! Sipping a litre throughout the day and being consistent for a human is difficult. So I figured... greater concentration in the litre bottle combined with less frequent but greater 'sips' might work.
Starting with Walter Last's 1 teaspoon Borax in a litre of (distilled) water, of which we know that 1 teaspoon gives 3 mg Boron.
Therefore 18 teaspoons would give you 56mg Boron.
Divide this 18 teaspoons into 6 teaspoons 3 times a day. (Giving 18.66mg Boron per dose) (Also the litre doesn't have to be made up every day)
This would be manageable to give to a dog or for a female human (double the dose for a male). (4 or 5 days a week?)
Can anyone see a problem with this, please? Or has anyone tried this way? I understand it's horses for courses (pardon the pun) but topical application with DMSO is difficult on a very hairy dog!"

"Sorry Cindy but did you understand that the 18 teaspoons is of the Newnham/Last solution (1 teaspoon of borax in a litre of water), I.e. where one teaspoon of the solution gives you 3mg of Boron (not 18 teaspoon of borax! ) Thus the total of 18tsps (of the water solutiuon) gives you the 54mg of Boron as in Ted's protocol for women (or female dogs)?"Posted By J (Tennessee) on 08/28/2025
"Hello wanted to ask if you were aware of a change in the color of your urine when you started the borax dosing?"Posted By Art (California) on 08/28/2025
"Hi J, I never noticed a change in urine color from borax.

"J, You didn't mention what the change in your urine looked like. Though it has been many years since I began using borax, I remember that at first my urine was a bit cloudy. I attributed this to eliminating large amounts of candida albacan (systemic yeast infestation). Though our bodies need candida in our gut, and it should not be eliminated completely, an over abundance causes all sorts of health issues. Any other change may need to be looked into. Also try backing off from the borax intake for a few days then reinstate it."
