"Borax for Pets and Easier oOral Dosing for People?
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!"
