Baking Soda and Borax Prevented Knee Replacement Surgery!

5 out of 5 stars

As an ex runner I was told my knees were shot and needed replacing. At the time I was working in Russia and a local pharmacist advised to try this before knee surgery. Mix one box of baking soda with an equal amount of Borax. Blend and use 1 teaspoon in a quart of green tea and drink the whole thing every day. I was on a 3 month rotation, 1 off 3 on. At the end of 3 months my knees felt fine. I went home and had both x-rayed. Bone had returned to normal, cartilage was no longer stretched like an old rubber band and most importantly my Synovial fluid had gone from gone / gone to normal. In Russia Borax is widely used. Wake up USA, Big Pharma!

Wow, this sounds amazing. How did you measure the borax to the box of baking soda? Did you pour out the baking soda into a container and then fill it in with borax? Thanks.

Hi, great and encouraging post however what weight and or volume is the 'box' of baking soda?

Za sve pohvale, ali ne vidim da ste dali odgovor na količinu I način smjese s kojom ste radili?

Google Translate from Croatian:

For all the praise, but I don't see that you gave an answer to the amount and manner of the mixture you worked with?

Hi Adrienne (New Zealand) and Nikola (Zadar) -

A. Jackson (North Dakota/Singapore) wrote that on 09/11/2017 so may not respond.

However, my interpretation of that post is just take equal amounts (by weight - it's more accurate) of borax and baking soda.

For instance, use a kitchen scale and measure out 100 g of borax and then 100 g of baking soda (or whatever amount you want to use - just make sure it is an equal amount).

Mix the two thoroughly. Best way to do this is put both in a container with a lid and give it a good shake.

A. Jackson then took 1 teaspoon of this mixture and added it to 1 quart of green tea and drank it daily for three months and then stopped for one month. Jackson said it was a 3 months on and 1 month off rotation.

I think this is what he was trying to convey. Jackson certainly had an outstanding result.

Cheers, Tessa

The basic instructions are: 1/2 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon borax + 1 quart green tea [or water if must avoid caffeine]. Drink this mixed together, each day for 3 months, then stop taking it for a month, then, repeat the sequence if you want.

Hi Tina. If you mix them in a box together when you take the tsp of it you really don't know if you mixed it well or if you are getting more of one than the other .

After 8 years, any updates?

Are you still keeping up with Borax& BS?
How long did you continue 3:1 monthly rotation?

I hope you see this, I'm curious if the mixture would work if drunk separately. I tried drinking them together and it was so noxious I couldn't do it
