Borax - My Experience

Hello everyone :)

So I decided to try the Borax regimen, said to cure obesity, low hormone levels, and even arthritis.  I wanted to share with you all what my experience has been.

What is Borax?

Borax is  Na₂[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·8H₂O  and it provides the body with Boron, the 5th element, found in food only if it is naturally occurring in the soil of the land.  

Boron is said to help to find free calcium and magnesium in the blood and fuse it into the bones and muscle tissue as needed. 

Starting in July of this year, I read on a website, https://growyouthful.com/remedy/borax.php, that Borax helps to cure all of these things:

Borax Remedies

• Rheumatoid arthritis. This is an inflammatory autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own joints, causing degeneration and deformity. It is more common in women, and can occur at any age. Often it develops into osteoarthritis. Work by Prof Roger Wyburn-Mason identified an amoeba in the joint as the cause in certain susceptible people. Boron is an effective cure. (14, 15)
• Osteoarthritis is a wearing away of the joints, particularly those that have been subject to trauma, infection or over-use when injured. It is more common in men. The cartilage or tough fibrous matter around the joint wears away and the bones rub against each other, causing pain and and further permanent damage to the joint. (14, 15)
• Osteoporosis (decalcification of the bones) or osteopenia. (12, 13, 14)
• Other bone and connective tissue diseases such as Dupuytren's disease.
• Blood lipid disorders, hypertension (high blood pressure), arterial diseases. (12, 14)
• Obesity.
• Cancer. (6, 14, 19) Boron may be a preventative for prostate cancer.
• Swollen gums or loose teeth (pyorrhoea). This is a bit like arthritis of the teeth and gums.
• Antiseptic. Very effective for bladder infection and urinary tract infection (UTI). (17) For other infections apply topically or take internally diluted to the recommended dose.
• Spondylitis (arthritis of the spine with inflammation in the joints). Calcium is lost from the spinal vertebrae, leading to fusion and disc degeneration. Spondylitis responds to mineral treatments, particularly boron.
• Gout. Boron is an effective remedy.
• Systemic lupus erythematosus.

I was 7 months pregnant, and had been feeling weak and exhausted often when I read about it.  Being the natural health lover that I am, I am usually open-minded about things like this.  So I went to Lowe's and purchased myself a box of Borax.  

It looked like this:

It was amazing, $4.88 for all this powder.  And all I needed was a teaspoon per liter of water?  I was so excited.

To get these kind of results:

• Protect's you from Fluorides. Borax protects against the accumulation of fluorides in the body; is effective as an antidote in fluoride toxicity; and can remove fluorides from the body. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 20)
• Anti-microbial. Borax is toxic to some insects such as ants, cockroaches and mites. It also prevents parasites, protozoa and bacteria. (23)
• Fungicide. Effective against moulds and fungi, internally and externally. (17, 18)
• Anti-viral.
• Hormone normaliser. Stimulates the production of hormones, stabilises estrogen, assists with insulin use and blood glucose control, triglyceride use and production of reactive oxygen. With boron sufficiency, blood serum triglyceride levels are significantly lower. (12) Estrogen replacement therapy may not be necessary. (13, 16)
• Immune system enhancer. (12) Promotes healing of wounds. (14)
• Blood and fluid thinner. Boron helps fluids flow more freely in vessels, capillaries and gaps in joints. Blood flows more freely through fine capillaries, muscles and bones. See also natural blood thinners.
• Reduction and control of inflammation. (14, 16)
• Aphrodisiac for men and women. See low libido. Boron stimulates the production of DHT and testosterone (14, 16) and normalises oestrogen.
• Toxin removal. Chelator / protection from heavy metals. (8)
• Stabiliser of calcium, silicon, copper and magnesium levels, inhibits calcification. (12). Boron sufficiency normalises calcium levels, preventing both abnormal calcium deposition and bone weakness. (12, 13, 14) Boron sufficiency inhibits the accumulation of inorganic copper in the bones (12) and prevents loss of bone. (13) Boron assists with the assimilation of various minerals, particularly calcium and silicon. Those with insufficient boron in their diets may suffer a variety of bone, skin and connective tissue ailments. Insufficient body silicon is associated with rapid aging.
• Mental enhancement. Improves attention, both short and long term memory, perception, hand-eye coordination, and manual dexterity. (12, 14) (Info from growyouthful.com)

My Personal Experience

Day 1

So I used the recommended internal dosage.  First, I bought a 1-liter bottle of distilled water and added 1 teaspoon of the Borax to it and shook it so that it was completely dissolved.  

Then I took 1 capful of the solution and mixed it with a glass of water and drank it.  

I immediately felt a difference in my mood, and I began feeling healthier inside.  

It is difficult to explain, but I felt younger.  Also, my limbs felt stronger as though I had been exercising, even though I was pregnant.  I also felt like I was able to think clearer.

Day 2

The next day, I tried to take two capfuls.  I was pregnant, so I do not know if that was the reason, but I felt crampy and exhausted afterward, and I went to sleep.  So until the end of my pregnancy, I reduced to just the 1 capful each day.  I wanted to use more, but I didn't want to risk another down day.  Since then I have been able to increase my intake without any ramifications.

Two months later

Jr. 12 weeks old

After I gave birth to my son, I had excessive bleeding.  He came out naturally, 9 pounds, 3 ounces.  His large size may be in part, due to the use of Borax while he was in gestation.  

The doctors gave me some Stadol to help relieve pain while the medicine that stops the bleeding worked, and it made me feel short of breath instantly.  However, rather than allowing myself to feel miserable, I asked my husband to make me a cocktail of water with 3 drops of 35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide and one capful of Borax.  The brain fog associated with the medicine began to rapidly clear away.  

I was strong and cognisant again soon after, within minutes, which is unusual for me with Stadol.  I didn't even pass out.  It was the best feeling.

No more bone pain

My husband and I both noticed that when using Borax, bone pain is eradicated.  It happens some time after taking it, but if he takes it in the morning, his back does not hurt throughout the day.  I also notice that in spite of having had 8 children, my muscles and bones are not as fragile with Borax in my system, some nerves in my injured finger are slowly restoring, and neck, back, and knee pain are seemingly now non-existent.

Better Intimacy

I also have to mention that the Borax has definitely invigorated our sex life.  I shared the Borax with my husband and he said he instantly felt the difference as well.  The solution is supposed to act as an aphrodisiac and also increase estrogen and testosterone levels to healthy levels, helping the body to heal itself.  

Oysters (definitely not kosher ;) )

Fun fact: Borax has been used in the UK as a preservative for oysters, a known aphrodisiac.

Some even recommend Borax for healing prostate cancer, urinary and bladder infections.  The best part is that it helps you lose weight when your hormone levels are healthy, so I am actually in better shape now than I was before I started using the mineral.  It's great.

Magnesium Oil

Cramps

Whenever I get too tense using Borax, I have this Magnesium Oil spray that I use on my skin to ease the tension.  The site recommended using them together in synergy to help maintain healthy bones and muscles.  So I ordered the Magnesium Oil from the recommended site and put some in a spray bottle of half oil and half distilled water.  Sprayed on my legs, arms, back, or neck, it helps to relieve the tension immediately and relax my muscles.  It even helps me relax my children so they can go to sleep! :)

Conclusion

Well, using Borax I definitely felt the difference.  I began feeling as healthy as I did in my teens.  I just, have the get-up and go that I had back then.  I feel like Borax has changed my life enough for me to post this blog about it.  I'll probably use it for the rest of my life.  

If you decide to try it, please use the (small) recommended amounts, so as to avoid overdosing.  

How to Use Borax Internally

"To make the borax concentrate, dissolve one level teaspoon of borax in one quart/litre of water.

To get a dose of 7 mg of boron per day, mix one teaspoonful of concentrate with water and take it twice daily with meals.

Take one teaspoon of concentrate with water per day for optimal health, if you have no specific problems.

For arthritis, osteoporosis, muscle cramps, joint pain or stiffness, or low hormone production take three teaspoons of concentrate with water per day for several months or longer until your ailment has sufficiently improved.

For fungal infections including candida, mycoplasmas, removing fluoride from the body. Take 15 to 25 teaspoons of the concentrated solution per day. Mix it with other drinks or food, and space it out over the whole day. This will provide a dose of about 50-85 mg of boron per day. Always start with a low dose and gradually increase it. Take regular breaks from the full dose, either taking the full dose 4 or 5 days per week as long as required, or going back down to the maintenance dose for one week each month.

When you consume borax it seems to work synergistically with magnesium, so keep your magnesium intake up whilst taking borax. See Magnesium.

In his ebook Grow Youthful there is more detail on how to use borax for a variety of specific ailments, and the wonderful outcomes you can expect." (from Growyouthful.com)

Here is a warning from the natural health website:

It is likely that toxicity symptoms will develop only after taking several grams (thousand mg) per day for several months. Signs of boron toxicity are diarrhoea, lethargy, nausea and vomiting. Eventually, also dermatitis and liver damage. Excess boron can worsen or trigger conditions like ADHD, allergies, asthma, autism, cystic fibrosis, dyslexia, liver and oesophageal cancer. Excessively high doses of boron tend to increase the blood levels of calcium and oestrogen, lower blood glucose, vitamin B6 and zinc.
