Why this ingredients:
Borax (i.e. Boric acid) is a mild, topical antiseptic used to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth on the skin. Boric acid is primarily used medically as a vaginal suppository to treat recurrent yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, especially cases resistant to conventional antifungal treatments. It acts as an antiseptic, antifungal, and antiviral agent, helping to balance vaginal pH and odor. It is also used in eye drops, ear drops, skin antiseptic solutions applied to cuts, scraps and burns, and for athlete's foot.
It acts as a bacteriostatic and fungistatic agent, meaning it inhibits the growth of bacteria (like E. coli and various streptococci) and fungi (like Candida), rather than killing them outright. They work in conjunction with the host's immune system to eliminate infections by inhibiting bacterial protein production, DNA replication, or metabolism. Common bacteriostatic antibiotics include tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline), macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, azithromycin), sulfonamides, and clindamycin..It is effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Boric acid can kill parasites, specifically Trichomonas vaginalis (causing trichomoniasis) through vaginal suppositories. It acts as a desiccant against pests like insects and flea larvae.
Epsom Salt is high in magnesium. Magnesium is essential for skin health, offering benefits such asboosting hydration, reducing acne, calming inflammation (rosacea/eczema), and combating signs of aging. It helps improve skin barrier function, repairs cells, and regulates sebum, making it effective for both dry and oily skin types. Topically, it can improve elasticity and reduce cortisol.
Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)can help soothe itchy, inflamed, or irritated skin from rashes, poison ivy, eczema, and sunburn by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
Bacterial and Fungal infections thrive in warm, moist environments, making prevention and effective treatment essential. Epsom salt, chemically known as magnesium sulfate, is a naturally occurring mineral compound renowned for its therapeutic properties

Hello Markus,
Use lukewarm water because borax powder dissolves better in it.
Take it two hours before or after meals, because borax is alkaline and neutralizes stomach acid, which can disrupt digestion...

Im taking borax since 1 week, I felt some side effects the first 2 days, feeling like heart discumfort.
But then I felt less craving for sugar, mental clarity all the day, testosterone going higher! Many red sport alsa disapeared, I think I had kind of candidosis. Excess of water also is going down.
I will continue for a month.
Sometime I have headache in the morning but its because I dont drink enough water and borax use a lot of it.

The 200 mg of a boron compound per day is a lot at 10 times the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 20 mg /day. Are you still taking the borax at a 1/4 teaspoon per day also? If so, that would put your daily intake of boron over 300 mg/day and that is really a lot of boron at 15 times the UL!
At a bare minimum, it might be worth paying attention for the signs and symptoms of boron/borax toxicity as described here :
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Boron-HealthProfessional/
Here is a relevant quote from the boron fact sheet :
' Symptoms associated with accidental consumption of boric acid or borax (sodium borate), contained in some household cleaning products and pesticides, include nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, skin flushing, rash, excitation, convulsions, depression, and vascular collapse [2, 6, 46]. The amount of boron consumed in people who accidentally consumed boron ranged from 18 to 9, 713 mg, and most were children younger than 6 years [46]. Boron toxicity can also cause headache, hypothermia, restlessness, weariness, renal injury, dermatitis, alopecia, anorexia, and indigestion. In infants, high boron intakes have caused anemia, seizures, erythema, and thin hair [9]. Extremely high doses of boron can be fatal; for example, 15, 000 to 20, 000 mg can cause death in adults [6, 9]. '
I have never experienced a problem at the 1/4 teaspoon I take, but you are considerably higher than me at the dose you are taking.

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.

I used 2 different kinds of litmus paper by (Hydrion, bought on Amazon) to measure the PH of my drinks and my coffee which went from being acidic to alkaline with Borax in it and also bought litmus paper from the same company and place that is used to measure the PH of saliva and urine. My urine went from 5.5 to 7.0 - 8.0 within a 2 to 3 days.
I used up to a 1/4 of a teaspoon on some days. I weigh just a little over 100 lbs.
It not only took away the left sided kidney pain, but also stopped the excruciating burning bladder pain of Interstitial Cystitis.
Hopefully, you feel confident enough now to give the regular grocery store 20 Mule Team brand a try, to see if it can help with whatever is ailing you.

You may find the following information, regarding borax, of interest :
Borax / Boron (B/B) are well established on EC for their antiarthritic effects. I previously wrote about the anti osteoporotic effects of B/B here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/osteoporosis-supplements-art-solbrig.html
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 :
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 :
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 :
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 :
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 :
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!

Kidney Pain
★★★★★
For my Kidney Stone on the right side in 2014, after seeing a Urologist, it was confirmed via just a regular X-ray (No CT Scan or any other tests) that I had a 3 mm stone. I went forward with having a lithotripsy and within about 3 weeks or less, it never bothered me again on the right side.
To no avail I tried to get the same Urologist to confirm the left sided kidney stone I knew I had. He said unfortunately, there was too much gas in my abdomen to see anything on the x-ray, so it was too bad, so sad for me, because he was now a very busy Cancer Urologist that didn't have time to see me again or do another x-ray. I assume this was more over not just because he was super busy, but due to the insurance game. Could've done another X-ray and tried putting air in my stomach before taking again, but didn't and wouldn't. I lived with this excruciating stabbing pain in my left kidney for 2 to 3 years.
I saw another Urologist in April 2023 without insurance and paid out-of-pocket. Got a CT scan and they said they found no kidney stone on left side. So, I began taking Borax for joint and bone pain in my coffee in the mornings and while it hasn't yet fixed my joint/bone pain, my left kidney no longer hurts and even when I stopped using the Borax the pain only returned for a couple of days. Then I used it again and once again the pain went away and since Nov. 2024 it has not returned and I am very inconsistent with the Borax.
So if you are dealing with excruciating back sided pain in the kidney area, I HIGHLY recommend trying Borax (20 Mule Team).
I am so thankful! God Bless you Earth Clinic and for everyone that shares their incredible testimonies that doctors can't seem to validate nor fix.

Borateem is 98.7 percent borax with tribromsalan, a microbiocide, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, an insecticide (but more importantly, a common laundry detergent).
And of course, the cdc and all the famous medical sites (webmd, healthline, etc.) say the same exact thing about borax. Both borax and boric acid in loose powder form can be harmful if swallowed, particularly for children. the operative word is can... and if the government says it's bad, I believe the opposite as they have a stellar record for deception.

It is understood that Borax does wonders, but in the state of the world we are in, are people not worried about contamination, quality, production and the fact that it is sold in the store in a box that is not airtight. All kinds of contamination could occur. We talk about our health and rightfully so, but then do not take the simplest precautions. I feel that the health forums/websites/and our version of industry that we operate in has become more of a cult like mindset. No on can disrupt the status quo. As someone who has done this for more than 30 years, we need to be more careful. We avoid the pharma industry and med docs cause they are either ill informed, corrupt or outright trying to make you ill, yet we dont go that extra mile to ensure we protect ourselves from the smaller possible intrusions.

I have bought the 20 Mules Borax at the grocery store for years and used in my wash and as a cleaning agent; it cautions and warns on the label against taking it internally. Please confirm the the borax -boron you are taking internally is the 20 Mules Borax detergent from the grocery store- just taking in a small dosage of 1/8 tsp. in a liter of water? I am so happy that you have found some relief.

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!

One investigator has reported the use of boron supplementation in approximately 30 cases to facilitate dissolution and/or passing of urinary stones with minimal pain. Boron was supplemented at 10 mg/day with and without additional antioxidants for 2 to 60 days. Boron was well tolerated without observed side effects.(Naghii 2014, Naghii 2013, Naghii 2012) In the absence of a control group, it is difficult to attribute these results to boron.

When do you take your doses in relation to meals, I.e. 30- 60 min before a meal and or 2- 3 hours after a meal on empty stomach or right after a meal or during a meal (like sprinkling it on the food)?
And could you please post the link from where did you get your borax? Not all borax products are the same... I tried some without success... your borax source obviously is genuine and works.
Thank you
