Re: How to Dissolve Borax for the Topical Arthritis Solution

One tablespoon of Borax weighs approximately 10.3 grams or 10, 300 mg, but this can vary based on density and moisture content of the Borax that is why I say approximately and this number should be close enough for this purpose.
One 8 ounce cup of water = 48 teaspoons
Assuming one teaspoon of the water/borax blend per use.
10, 300 mg / 48 servings = 214.583333 mg per teaspoon serving or for convenience 215 mg per teaspoon serving.
Borax is a larger molecule that does not easily cross the skin and dermal layers thus necessitating the use of DMSO to act as a transdermal penetration enhancer, but even with DMSO, not all of the Borax will be taken in, so the actual available dose to the joints is less than 215 mg per serving. Don't forget to wash and rinse your hands well before each use.

Re: New Topical Borax and DMSO Method for Arthritis

As a successful user of Borax for arthritis for well over a decade, I often recommend it and definitely orally if the arthritis is wide spread, but topically when it is confined to one or two areas of the body. Taken orally, it is also useful as an inhibitor of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis and likely useful for teeth.
The main person I have read about who actually started using Boron or Borax in his arthritic patients was Dr. Rex Newnham in Australia in the 1980's. Through epidemiological studies, he was able to determine that areas of the world that have soil with low boron content have higher levels of arthritis and areas with high boron soil content have lower levels of arthritis. Here is a link to info on him :

Borax contains 11.34% boron. I have found that a high enough dose of Boron is as effective as Borax for arthritis. Not everyone is able to tolerate Borax and for those people, it is worth trying boron in supplemental form as sometimes those who do not tolerate Borax can tolerate Boron. It is an extremely inexpensive remedy for arthritis of different forms at just pennies per year. There has only been one study (2017) using Borax for arthritis that I am aware and it was successful but very limited in scope. Unfortunately, more human studies have not followed that one study which can be read at the following link :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5289089/
Given that the potential for profit on Borax is nil, I am doubtful that there will be more studies using it as a treatment for arthritis. The study link above was 5 years ago and it generated enough positive data to warrant a follow-up study at a minimum, but that has not happened.
Good luck!
