Borax Side Effects - Loopy Strange Feeling

Greetings, I made a borax solution using one quart of water with 1/8 teaspoon of Mule borax dissolved overnight. I drank one cup of solution this morning followed by two more cups of water. I began feeling strange. It’s difficult to describe: a loopy feeling where I felt as though I might be exiting reality. I didn’t feel right and grew scared. Has anyone experienced this? Please reply as I’m anxious and really need feedback so I may continue use of borax in this matter. I have had candida for years. Thank you kindly

Hi Monica,

Boron is a major active component of Borax.

You may find this link useful and interesting :

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36156555/

Here is a relevant quote from the link :

' Boron at a concentration of 78.125 μg/mL inhibited the growth of Candida albicans. '

The boron content of the Borax may be causing a candida die off. The die off may be causing toxicity itself which is sometimes referred to as a "Herxheimer reaction" and one potential explanation for what you describe as a "loopy feeling".
