Walter Last Borax Article
But I do think it's great to have it available on Earth Clinic as well. More people need to know about this!
EC: Thank you for the link, Madelyn! A lot of links in posts on EC to his article from 2012 on go to a 404 page not found.
Walter Last Borax Protocol Q&A
You didn't mention if your husband is diabetic or not, but that would be an important consideration.
Regarding your husband's chronic kidney disease (CKD), there are several supplements worth considering. First, he may be interested in reading this article I wrote about CKD and useful supplements to discuss with his doctor :
https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/chronic-kidney-disease-art-solbrig.html
Other supplements worth discussing with his doctor are as follows :
1. Vitamin C As Ascorbate :
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Currently, 60 mg of ascorbate are recommended for chronic kidney disease patients, and 1-1.5 g of oral ascorbate/week in case of suspected subclinical ascorbate deficiency or 300 mg parenteral ascorbate/dialysis session, respectively.'
2. Silymarin :
Here is a relevant quote from the above link :
' Recent evidence suggests that silymarin may be just as important for kidney health as for liver. Silymarin concentrates in kidney cells, where it aids in repairing and regeneration by increasing protein and nucleic acid synthesis. One study suggested that it increased cell replication by 25 to 30 percent which were related to silybin and silychristin, two important components of silymarin. '
3. Astaxanthin (In animal study) :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0041010124002368?via=ihub
A relevant quote from the above study link :
' Astaxanthin demonstrates significant renoprotective effects against lithium-induced nephrotoxicity, suggesting its utility as an effective adjunctive therapy. Through its potent antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic actions, astaxanthin effectively reduces renal damage associated with lithium treatment, underscoring its potential for enhancing renal health in patients receiving lithium therapy. '
It is worth mentioning that astaxanthin has a very good safety profile in humans at tested dosing of 24 mg/day in human studies. Previously I have written about another important health benefit of astaxanthin that your husband may be interested in, here :
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/astaxanthin-for-endurance.html
So all of the above mentioned supplements would require your husband's doctor's approval and supervision to insure his safety and compatibility with all of the medications he is taking.
Please keep us updated on your husband's progress.

Borax Contraindications
Yes, borax can be pretty amazing, but my doctor's look at me like I am crazy when I tell them I am using a laundry booster to control my psoriatic arthritis!
First day results are really fast! Dr Rex Newnham who founded the use of boron and borax for arthritis said that it could take up to 3 or 4 months to reach maximum benefit in long standing arthritis.
Walter Last's remedy was not strong enough for my arthritis nor was Dr. Rex Newnham's remedy, but Ted's remedy worked perfectly and has kept me in remission for over 17 years now, but my PA was severe. I consider that borax was a gift from God because it came at a time when my PA had reached an intolerable level of pain throughout my body. I guess it was good for me to experience that level of pain so I could have a better understanding of what other people go through, but it sure was harsh at the time and I would definitely never want to experience it again!
Yes, borax can not show its full benefit in just two weeks and especially at lower dosing levels. I think part of the reason that Ted chose higher dosing levels is because he was looking for a faster response so people would stick with the regimen and get the benefit.
The boron in borax is very useful for osteoporosis also.

For the shooting leg pain, Melatonin Lotion (ML) has helped with this type of diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain as well as many other types of pain and here is a description of how to make it at home and what it has shown benefit for:
https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html
As far as using boron compounds in diabetics, you may find this very interesting :
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11229952/
This next article discusses how melatonin can be beneficial for diabetes as well as diabetes related neuropathic pain :
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0929664625004565?via=ihub
Here are two very relevant quotes from the above link :
' Melatonin is a neurohormone which is mainly released by the pineal gland and demonstrates neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potentials. Reports indicate the role of melatonin in the modulation of insulin sensitivity and secretion thereby regulating glucose metabolism. Melatonin has also been shown to reduce neuropathic pain by influencing neurodegeneration, inflammation and oxidative stress. '
' Considering the multidimensional potential of melatonin and its safety, it can be used as a tool to develop therapeutic interventions for the management of DM and DNP. '
It is worth noting here that melatonin lotion (ML) ultimately does go systemic once applied to the skin, so you can see that it can be beneficial for more than just topical pain relief. ML allows relatively high local tissue levels of melatonin to be reached right where it is needed for pain, but then ultimately enters the blood.
Good luck with your father and keep us posted on his progress!

Walter Last Borax Protocol Q&A
Borax Contraindications
Wow I started the Borax protocol with my dad and he found it effective for his arthritis immediately, after the first dosage. I was quite surprised! He is not pain free yet so he is still taking a teaspoon 3x a day but his arthritis has dramatically improved and no pain in the morning, which was the most debilitating. He still has the neuropathy pain in his legs so will now try the Melatonin recipe you suggested. I have started taking borax for menopause, I have noticed small improvements, do have some hot flushes but less and feel some improvement with foggy brain, I assume that I should give it some more time, it has been 2 weeks.
Thanks again

Borax can help with arthritis, but if you want to focus on the destructive neuropathies, ending sugar overload is the way to go.

Thank you so much for this article. My father suffers from arthritis and I wanted to start him on Borax. He is also diabetic, type 2 on pill supplements, not insulin injections. The diabetes has caused shooting pain in his legs. So overall my dad is really in pain. He is 87 and does love his pharmaceuticals, so is on lots of medicine but is open to trying the borax. I saw on a previous post you asked if the patient had diabetes, is better not to try Borax if they diabetic.
Thank you so much, just so few people to consult with.
Thank you for this, not sure my dad will be up for the intermittent fasting but will have a chat to him. Thank you
