Borax and Boron: Health Benefits, Safety, Dosage, and Protocols

Why should one use boiling hot water with borax?

2 hours after a meal is ot full stomach but almost empty stomach ...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)/Epstein Barr related bugs, and others can be reduced quite a bit by taking 1/4 tsp of Borax with one liter/quart of water (purified is best) per day. Sip it throughout the day. (I don't always drink the whole liter everyday but have fewer sensitivities, or can be exposed to fragrances and solvents for longer periods before getting sore throat, coughing, headaches, etc., resulting in sinus infections and flu/cold. If you have a healing crisis (Like flu or sinus infection, etc.) treat accordingly but don't stop the Borax. Maybe take less each day but don't stop, and build up to 1/4 tsp. For ladies, 1/8 tsp. Another simple addition that might help with Fibromyalgia (FMS) brain fog, if that's a problem, is extra virgin coconut oil, 1-3 or more tbs a day. (Great for Alzheimers to. More is better for that (Build up)). The Borax has been a Godsend for my Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), which is often co-morbid with CFS and/or FMS. Stay with it, these help. Perhaps I'll add I also take Fulvic Acid (excellent for unstacking blood cells). Fulvic Acid can cause a healing crisis. I also take 6 grams of Vit. C (not for CFS and FMS or MCS). I have searched for almost 40 years something to help, Borax and Coconut Oil have turned out to be the most effective for me, very powerful. I have been them consistently now for approx. 6 years. Recently started taking 200mg of Boron.

Also, about a year ago I started being treated by Dr. Michael Chance in Gainesville FL with his Hypothalamus Reset Technique. (HST) His treatments markedly improved my quality of life by 20%. Blessings all…

The following very interesting and fast moving 4 minute video further describes the value of B/B for osteoporosis :

https://youtu.be/2m-dkc7rHrg?si=7xMkNPX8Y_G552jG

Note that they also mention the possibility that B/B may have added benefit to work against tooth decay. If their idea is correct, then people with arthritis and or osteoporosis should have more incidence of tooth decay. To add confirmation to that idea studies should show as much.

In the following two links, it is shown that people with arthritis do have significantly increased levels of tooth decay :

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9321492/#:~:text=The mean number of decayed, than that of the control.

Here is a relevant quote from the link :

' The mean number of decayed teeth (p=0.004) and missing teeth (p=0.026) in the rheumatoid arthritis patients were significantly higher than that of the control. '

In the following Johns Hopkins article it is further confirmed that people with rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk for tooth decay as discussed here :

https://www.hopkinsarthritis.org/arthritis-news/5-dental-tips-for-the-ra-patient/#:~:text=A study conducted at the, people who have rheumatic diseases.

Here is a relevant quote from the article :

' A study conducted at the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center found that gum disease and tooth loss are more prevalent in people who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). '

To delve into the realm of tooth decay and osteoporosis, the following 2 links illustrate that tooth decay is increased in people with osteoporosis :

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5753495/#:~:text=It was found that those, composite score of ≥ 6.

Here is a relevant quote from the link above :

' It was found that those participants with osteoporosis had significantly higher number of tooth loss (5.4 ± 2.8) as compared to those with osteopenia (2.1 ± 2) and normal BMD (1.09 ± 1.2) (P < 0.01). '

The following link adds further confirmation to the idea that people with osteoporosis have increased risk for tooth decay :

https://www.todaysrdh.com/osteo-conditions-overview-and-oral-health-implications/

Here is a very relevant quote from this comprehensive article link above :

' In terms of oral health, osteopetrosis causes changes in the skull and jaw, leading to delayed tooth eruption, severe dental caries, micrognathia, mandibular prognathism, osteomyelitis of the jaw, dental anomalies, deciduous retention, malformation of teeth crowns, abscesses, and facial paralysis.1 '

So it seems pretty clear that there is a fairly direct correlation between arthritis and tooth decay as well as a correlation between osteoporosis and tooth decay. Although teeth, technically are not bones as mentioned here they do contain a lot of boron :

https://www.healthline.com/health/are-teeth-bones#:~:text=Teeth and bones look similar, in your bones and teeth.

Here is a relevant quote from the article :

' Teeth and bones look similar and share some commonalities, including being the hardest substances in your body. But teeth aren't actually bone.'

Although teeth aren't considered to be bone, they do contain a lot of boron as discussed here :

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/14/3/1054#:~:text=Boron exists within the human, in moderate amounts [7].

Here is a relevant quote from the above link :

' Boron exists within the human body, with the greatest amount found in bones and teeth [6]. However, increasing the intake of boron changes the mineral composition of the teeth and shows beneficial effects on the alveolar bone in moderate amounts [7]. Boric acid can reduce alveolar bone loss [8]. Boron enhances the odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation processes in human dental germ stem cells, promoting the proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells. Moreover, it exerts a substantial influence on the growth and development of both bones and teeth [9]. '

To me, the above information suggests that B/B is likely to be very useful for all three health conditions which should also include osteopenia. I like it when a supplement is beneficial for more than one health condition!

Ar

1) Morning:

• Triphala Powder 100g + Borax 5 g (mix it together) -- 1/2 tsp.
  (Borax is available in Ayurveda as Tankan Bhasma)

2) Afternoon:

• Lithium Carbonate 300 mg (Lithium is an OTC medicine in India) -- 1 tab

3) Night: 10 drops each of following homeopathic drops.

• Valeriana Officinalis Q drops (Q indicates Mother Tincture) -- 10 drops
• Alphalpha Q drops -- 10 drops

I generally give a break of 1-2 days after taking borax for 2 weeks.

This helps purging the accumulation of borax to a harmful levels.

The above remedy has reportedly worked for cancer and several other body conditions.

Anyway-I was looking for something to help w/Hidradenitis Suppurativa-which is basically cysts in your armpits, sometimes in groin & under breasts. It's horribly painful & can be embarrassing-especially when they burst. Doctors have no idea what causes it either & is treated w/tetracycline-a strong antibiotic or biologics &/or incisions & draining them.

That doesn't cure it-they come back. And no one should be on tetracycline or biologics all the time!

I started taking 1/8 of a teaspoon dissolved in a bit of warm water right after breakfast.

I started it on Monday-today is Saturday & the cysts are all gone! I'm shocked it worked so quickly!

I'm also an insomniac-I have been since I was a kid-& w/in a couple days I was falling asleep easier & staying asleep! I've been able to go off a couple of OTC meds I was using to fall asleep also in just a couple of days!

I also have fibromyalgia & usually have a flair up a couple times a week-but not this week! I'm knocking on wood that I don't have any more of them-but even if the flare-ups are just lessened it would be great news for me.

FYI-I didn't really have any herxing & I'm hoping I don't-but regardless, I'd continue taking this amazing mineral.

Thank you, Ted, for spreading the news of this natural medicine! You've literally changed my life!

I have used it for 2 Years, 1/4 tsp Borax in a liter of water 5 days a week. No bad effects, but Gout, Joint Pain, Body stiffness, skin Spots, mental clarity, vivid dreams, 2x Hearing, Hearing came in three weeks, joint pain a week, Gout hasn't returned, dreams 4 weeks. It is a life thing because foods are Boron deficient, synthetic fertilizers grow crops. Chicken fertilizer is best so I'm trying thing in my garden, land not been in production before. If I take a break, body stiffness is the first effect to return. I'm 57.

Found a video with a Phd talking about consuming borax and the dosages etc etc. To make it less complicated, I started out with a pinch 2x a day and worked my way up to 1/8 tsp, 2xD.

Within 3 days - spasming stopped. 5 days - joint pain and all muscle inflammation next to vanished. I have had the same length of goatee since I was 19. It grows to a certain length and falls out. At about week 3, my facial hair was growing more so than usual and by about week 5 it had doubled in length and I was having to shave far more often. I have had 3 bone spurs in the last decade. One in my right shoulder, my left heel, and recently my right heel. It was digging into my achilles and causing a lot of issues. I did some reading that talked about cal build up and on my search I found that video about taking borax. Also around the 5 week mark it is 90% heeled up. Full rom, 3/10 pain but only 1/10 constant.

Recently decided to stop drinking coffee and stop consuming cannabis. I stopped taking borax, and within a week my joints started to ache again and my nails are chipping and have all kinds of lines like they are going to split.

As I'm writing this I have hot water beside me ready to drink. Just wanted to reach out and share my story.

For me, I am a little heavier at 200 lbs and a woman and what works for me is I started with the 1/8 tsp in water, it worked well for me, I started slowly for a week or so and I also read to take a magnesium capsule once daily to offset any symptoms as this borax seems to work hand in hand with the magnesium. I take one 500mg magnesium capsule in the morning with breakfast. This works for me. After doing well with the 1/8 of a tsp of the 20 mule team borax I upped the dosage to where I take this two times per day in a hot large cup of coffee.

I have taken this for a month now and it seems to be helping me with the stiffness in my shoulder joints which I could not raise above my shoulder level without pain before and can raise straight up now, much stronger with very little pain if any and I run my rototiller about once a week, have a large garden and work daily on two acres, keeping it mowed and taken care of. Plus I am almost 70 yrs old. This has also been helping to dissolve my kidney stones and has helped my IBS very much. Helped my partner's arthritis in his knees a lot also. So for me this works well.
