I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this. Why is it necessary to dissolve borax before taking internally? Why not place it on your tongue and chase it down with a liquid? Thank you.

I believe that is is a remedy to be assimilated. It also detoxes. Its effects are very profound.

Detoxing anything can make one feel ill. Off. Slow steady detox, prevents herxemier/herxing.

When we started Ted's Borax remedy at 1/4 tsp in a gallon of water, used in the general kitchen things, washing veggies, cooking pasta, rinsing dishes. Amongst the 5 of us. The first 24 hours changed everything.

My daughter's 5 year struggle with PCOS stopped that night. My husband's joint pain, blood clot pain, my own struggle with my onset of Alzheimer's or dementia began to melt away. Our girl's skin started to clear from angry red, irritated. The list is long. Just the first day.

The fluoride from our medications and water, began to be eliminated. It is so powerful.

Regaining hormonal balance in the body, improves digestion, pain, some disfigurement (dowagers) (psoriasis).

It should be a slow and steady detox, healing.

With all due respect, PCOS is a complex clinical syndrome that can't be cured in 24 hours. Dementia and blood clots can't either. Yes, borax is quite a curative but let's not exaggerate for effect. People come to EC for real experiential feedback and this type of thing isn't helpful.

Chris,

You can not believe as you wish. I saw it.

Your comment suggests two things. I am being untruthful or I should disguise the results to fit a general parameter.

That is exactly what happened. Fluoride is that profoundly poisoning us. Removal of it is critical for human health. As evidenced by our experience.

It was not intended. She went from unable to function. With her cascade of issues. To finishing school. Working, moved out and is living a normal life. Something we had no hope for.

Years of medical treatment, studies tests, medications. At 19 she could live. At 14 little hope. From, Narcolepsy, PCOS. To No medications, none.

Removal of poisons, that is the real fight of today. Fluoride interferes with every morsel of human health. Glandular function, digestion, bone and connective tissue health, teeth, oral health, hormone levels.

Removal of fluoride, is release from a prison of medical intervention.

If you find that astounding. Two weeks into the fluoride removal will certainly be an eye opener.

She had Narcolepsy, severe acne, psoriasis, dowagers hump. She fell asleep in her swim lane at practice. She had more symptoms than health. She could fill a book.

All our teeth whitened, all on their own. Years of six month appointments at the dentist, unneeded. All the spots from so called tetracycline, gone in one child. She has had since they came in.

Removal of fluoride, alkalinity drinks. My husband was back to work. This because of a blood clot, 2 blown discs, stenosis, gout, arthritis. Unable to do anything. Off vicodin, blood thinners, normalized blood pressure, gout. No medication at all now.

My Alzheimer's/ dementia. Diagnosed a brain tumor, to holes in the brain. Gone. Off antidepressants that were given for pain, Tramadol, hormonal meds. Menopause, vanished, the type that makes you bleed and bleed, deadened emotions, bone pain. Osteoarthritis. Dowagers. Balding.

Our oldest, started with an ulcer when she was born, unending horrible problems, Meniere's, POTS, CFS/MCS. Food allergies that prevented her from going in places that had any tomatoes cooking. Chronically enlarged spleen, all kinds of hormonal issues, body and face acne. Totally disabled. She is also now working and moved out.

There is more, way more.

I believe the accepted numbers of adverse reactions from fluoride when they okayed it for human consumption was 30%. They knew 30% of the population would have serious problems with it. That is not acceptable in any scale I have ever seen for other products. It is industrial waste. Nothing but poison.

Janet,

Thank you for sharing you and your family’s experiences with borax.

Could you please share the specifics of how you took it? Dosage and frequency? And for what duration?

Wishing you the best!

Marnie,

It was not Ted's recommendation at the start, that I used.

I did not know much, was still learning. I knew water was increasingly becoming more poisonous from the faucet. The 2 days following our water treatments in town, the smell of chlorine from the water was getting stronger.

I purchased a faucet filter thinking I had solved it. The family going for 6 month cleaning at the dentist. Fluoride this, fluoride that. My husband was getting yellowish teeth. The kids, 1 had lifetime tetracycline stains. The youngest's front teeth came in brown. My teeth looked brownish. We were doing all the things, to no avail. It made no sense.

As I was learning about alkalinity Ted brought up fluoride poisoning. So I thought I would add a little borax to water to see if it would help the color problem. I took a glass gallon jug, filled it with filtered tap water added 1/4 tsp if borax. This was the water I used in the kitchen. Had the kids use. I was not functional at the time. Just for making food. Washing vegetables.

By that night, before bed, my PCOS daughter got her first period in 5 years. I cannot express the miracle this was. Monday morning she was going in to start birth control as Metformin was not enough, according to the Dr. That weekend, as I have said many times here, began the healing.

The point of the story is, I did it wrong. I was looking to add a pinch of something. For one benefit. By the following week, we had all begun to use Ted's recommendation, 1/8 tsp for women, 1/4 tsp for men, in 1 liter of water. 4 days out of 7.

We have now switched to a Berkey water filter. Interestingly we did not keep up with the borax at first. Realizing we still needed to after a short time. Fluoride or fluoridated water is in everything you buy. So back to Ted's remedy.

Wow Janet. I've just read your reply. It's given me some hope. I've had 'fibromyalgia' for over 30 years. Tried to cure it myself with an A4 page size of expensive treatments. Dr's have been totally useless abusive and damaging. I feel like I'm being eaten alive by pain. Tramadol levothyroxine pregabolin and steroids!!! But all have stopped working well. Although if I try to stop I just don't want to be here any more. I was gonna give borax a go anyway, but your answer has given me more hope. Wishing you the best.

Ps I'm not technically minded so may not find you here again but. Thanks. I'm gonna try it.

Hi Janet,

May I ask please from where exactly did you buy the borax you used? There are many borax products on the market, they are not all the same. The one you took is obviously working extremely well. If you would be kind enough to post the link to the borax product you used that would help the community hugely. Are you still taking it? 1/4 tsp. in a gallon of tap water sounds a tiny amount and it still worked... Interesting. Thank you

Is it possible to mix in some kind of flavoring agent because the taste is making me nauseous?

Replied by Art from California on 05/17/2023

Randall,

I used to take my borax mixed in Gatorade and could not taste it, but I stopped that because it seemed like a lot of sugar. I found if I just added some Gatorade to my borax and water mix, that was enough to hide any borax flavor and then it was not too much sugar.

Btw, how long have you been taking borax and have you noticed any benefit yet? I noticed benefit in less than a month, but I always suggest giving it two months for a fair trial.

Then dilute it, it doesn’t taste that strong I am a woman elderly and I take a 1/4 tsp in distilled water daily, and off on weekends. Mamm it’s the smell not the taste, unless you’re using more than what is recommended. Do you know what a 1/8 th tsp is? Just wondering, just decrease the amount.

Hello, I first heard about taking borax from my older brother. I have type 2 diabetes, digestion issues, anxiety and depression and acid reflux and high cholesterol and sinus tachycardia and abnormal kidney function. (yes I have quite a few health issues) I take meds for all these issues except the kidney function as I just learned that my kidney function is abnormal and I'm being referred to kidney specialist. My brother suggested taking a pinch of Borax and adding it to a bottle (16.9 Fl Oz) of purified or distilled water.. can you tell me if a pinch would work? And does the borax need to dissolve in the water before drinking? Any info would help, thank you! God bless🙏🏼

Hi Chris :) Complexity is a useful screen for manipulation especially for "treatments". PCOS isn't so complex. Here it is from Hopkins Medicine. "Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of ((((androgens, male sex hormones)))) that are usually present in women in small amounts. The name polycystic ovary syndrome describes the numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that form in the ovaries. However, some women with this disorder do not have cysts, while some women without the disorder do develop cysts."

So .. . an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts. There are lots of hormones in foods so that could have been a contributing factor? Everyone has different terrain and tolerances. It could be her daughter is super sensitive to hormone imbalances?

Boron also regulates sex hormones. So it is possible for it to correct it quickly, perhaps especially someone who may be overly sensitive to androgenic hormone changes. If she could react to such changes in a bad way, the reaction would be the same in a good way the same day change is implemented. Someone in comments here mentioned they began taking the borax mixture after not having their period due to menopause and experienced " a period from hell" :D

Could be Boron deficiency was a piece of her health puzzle. Considering ... the fertilizers being used actually prevent the plants we eat from absorbing boron at the roots. An apple a day was great because they contained boron and the gut bacteria thrive on the apple skins. Is this still true today? It is very possible modern practices create deficiencies of vital nutrients which causes suffering for many.

I know a few women who suffered with heavy cramping, bleeding & pain every cycle. The would have to take time off work because of it. Two tablespoons a week of blackstrap molasses eliminates all of those horrible effects. Deficiency in minerals? Simple. No more prescription pain killers and days off work suffering.

I had body pain working in physical jobs. I took organic sulfur and the pain I carried around was gone overnight. Pain I carried for a few years which was gradually increasing. Deficiency.

Boron may provide potential benefits for people, including:

• reproduction and development
• metabolizing calcium
• bone formation
• brain function
• metabolizing insulin and sources of energy
• immunity
• steroid hormone function, including vitamin D and estrogen

Boron may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and help regulate systems within the body.

Fluoride causes insulin resistance ( a serious chain reaction imbalance in the body) which is a root cause for all imbalances which are illness pathways when not addressed, even heart disease. Fluoride directly affects the endocrine system. PCOS is an endocrine affliction. All pieces of the puzzle.

On a side note, impact of fluoride & insulin resistance: There is a low ball estimate on what percent of western civilization is insulin resistant. Western diet is heavy on sugar & carbs. Many people have developed it and don't know and are not treated for it and eventually full blown diabetes. Diabetics most often die from CVD; my diabetic dad did. CVD is the leading cause of death in the world; diabetic diagnosed or not. It is absolutely not healthy saturated fat. We become insulin resistant drinking fluoridated water and from too much fructose & carbs which is in all the foods & beverages manufactured. Especially "snack well" type foods marketed as weight loss, diabetic/ heart healthy "fat free".

From Pub Med Central:
"Polycystic ovaries, chronic anovulation, and (((hyperandrogenism)))) are the distinctive characteristics of PCOS and with the existence of (((((insulin resistance))))), hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and dyslipidemia are responsible for long-term serious outcomes such as endometrial hyperplasia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease (4).

I'm so happy to read her daughter experienced immediate results. Wonderful! :)

It is too caustic (pH is too high), could burn your tongue or intestines if dissolved or swallowed straight. It needs to be diluted to be safe for consumption. I would do as they suggest, 1 teaspoon in a liter of water and only start with a teaspoon of that mixture a day. That will start you off with about 2.35mg of boron per day. Give it a few weeks to see if it is working, before increasing the dose. The smaller the dose to get the results you need, the better off you are. Then you don't have to worry about side effects as much.

Hello Debbie Borax is not a blood thinner, but it does come into contact with other substances in the body that can thin the blood. Many natural plants, vegetables and tea have blood thinning properties, which is why it becomes difficult to adjust blood thinner doses correctly...!
