I have a container of this Borax it does say it has 999g/kg of Disodium tetraborate decahydrate in it, would this still be safe to take internally and use on the body etc?
Food Grade Borax
Please update us on your test of borax as you go. I found improvement begin within the first month and improve further from there. Dr. Newnham felt that maximum benefit was achieved within 4 months or so.

It is more helpful to go to the 20 Mule Team Borax website and look at what is in borax :
https://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/about/ingredients/
Here is a relevant quote from their website :
' Borax is a naturally occurring compound that is found in arid regions similar to salt plains in Utah or Nevada. The mineral itself is made up of Sodium, Oxygen and Boron to create Sodium Tetraborate (Na2B4O7 • 10H2O) and is mined in Central and Southern California. The compound is considered a salt and actually shares many chemical properties with average table salt.
20 Mule TeamTM simply refines the raw Borax that is mined from the ground and converts it to a powder for your easy use. '
I have been using it daily for well over a decade and it has kept my psoriatic arthritis in remission since. I also have used it as an ant insecticide among other uses.
You might look at ECs Borax page for more info on it :

And also look at ECs safety information on Borax :

Food Grade Borax
In my area, the brand 20 Mule Team is the only one available in grocery stores. I was unable to find the ingredients list on their web site. According to wikipedia though, ingredients are:
Borateem is 98.7 percent borax with tribromsalan, a microbiocide, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, an insecticide[2] (but more importantly, a common laundry detergent).
It is certainly not pure with 1.3 per cent as a microbiocide and and insecticide. A small amount, but these things could still be harmful. I do not think that I would ingest laundry borax.
A local industrial chemical supplier has technical grade borax, but would this be fit for ingestion? what impurities would be in technical grade?
Does anyone know if technical grade can be easily purified? Boric acid chrystals can be easily grown. But would the crystals be pure, or would contaminates redeposit in the crystals?
what are common uses of food or lab grade borax? The answers might provide clues as to where to purchase.
Thanks if anyone can offer some answers.

EC: HI Narinder,
We don't know of any books on borax. However, you can certainly find .pdfs on the internet with information that you can print, such as Walter Last's article on borax. You can also print pages and posts from Earth Clinic!

It's from Portugal but sends to Spain.

The US and Turkey are the largest producers of borax in the world. Perhaps it will be cheaper to have it shipped from Turkey since it is much closer to Spain. Here is one possible link to give you an idea:

I am rather nervous of the above information and have spent hours researching if what I have bought is 'normal'.
I would be very grateful if 'Ted' or any other knowledgeable person could offer me some guidence as to the safety or normality of my purchase.
I only found Earth Clinic recently but am very impressed. Thanks at least for spending the time to read my post.
