Jeff, here is my experience with Bones – the good experience of taking borax. I think you will find this entire message of interest with your research.
From reading many responses to boron, especially involving fluoride, it seems many people cannot tolerate the dosages you are recommending. My guess is it depends on the severity of what issues their bodies are dealing with.
As you will read, I have not given up. I know you have been emailing with my friend Janice… thank you.
Janice, I took too much boron too fast and have been dealing with a severe healing crisis… ( herxheimer reaction ) likely due to the release of fluoride (Ciprofloxacin Toxicity) . I still believe it is an excellent remedy for many ailments. This site has excellent information on doses.. slow and gradual is better.
……………………….
The good thing for me with taking the boron (borax) .. foot pain I had, which I feel certain is associated with surgery on both my feet over 4 years ago… affected my bones. Foot/arch pain worsened for a few days – startling as pain had improved with use of orthotics. Then I realized the pain was a healing reaction. Now my feet have less pain. One of my primary reasons for taking the boron (borax) is the pain in arches of my feet.
Oddly enough my right wrist started to ache, while I was in bed sleeping…. so bad, I had to rest my arm on a pillow. What? Out of the blue! Then I remembered I had fallen and this wrist bone severely broke over 20 years ago. My wrist was now limp and weak, just as it was after the cast came off. Lasted about 4 days. Now no pain.
Boron has a history of strengthening bones and is used for arthritis. But many other cures as well.
…………………………
Ayway, I have been reading more on the Earth Clinic site… excellent information on all kinds of healing remedies. Just like large doses of Vitamin D3. Once I feel that the healing crisis is over, I will continue with much smaller doses of boron. I am copying a review here, where I picked up some excellent tips… I will try the baths to relieve my current condition. Every muscle in my body is screaming at me (among other issues) . Toothbrush soaks are of interest to me also. I will send you the link… editors choice.
I have made some text bold in this copy that I think will be of special interest to you. Underlined is for me.
Here is the link to this section – you may want to explore the site over time… loads of info.
Multiple Cures

Started using Borax over 3 months now. Before I started, my health was going down hill fast. My ovaries failed kicking in early menopause over 2 years ago. My thyroid function was way out of whack. Bone loss was occurring quickly along with joints deteriorating. Psoriasis on my scalp worsened and arthritis from it was insane. Cholesterol levels increased, Vitamin D levels plummeted. I had intense muscle tension, weakening muscle strength, hair loss, thinning skin, dry skin,
Started using Borax over 3 months now. Before I started, my health was going down hill fast. My ovaries failed kicking in early menopause over 2 years ago. My thyroid function was way out of whack. Bone loss was occurring quickly along with joints deteriorating. Psoriasis on my scalp worsened and arthritis from it was insane. Cholesterol levels increased, Vitamin D levels plummeted. I had intense muscle tension, weakening muscle strength, hair loss, thinning skin, dry skin, Used 1 tsp of Borax Powder in one liter of distilled water dissolved in a glass container. Took one tsp daily from that liter 3mg of Boron. Felt it right away. Noticed a decrease in pain in 3 days. Had a herxheimer reaction about a week into it. Backed off and started back when I felt better.
All was good, increased to 2 tsp daily for 6mg daily. Always took my doses with magnesium spaced out. 400mg Oral Glycinate and used Magnesium oil (transdermal magnesium chloride) Felt more pain with the increase, but this time, I started taking a bath in 1/2 cup Borax and 1/2 cup Epsom, daily sometimes twice for 20 min.
These baths were phenomenally healing for me. Made me feel so good afterwards. My skin loved it. It got softer and had a nicer appearance. I also soaked my head and scalp for my psoriasis. This really helped with the plaque build up and itch. Very nice on my hair too. After my bath I moisturized with a mixture of Organic Cold pressed unrefined Virgin Coconut oil and Avocado oil. (Avocados are a source of Boron.) Soon increased my dose to 9mg, 3 tsp spaced out. Still used ample magnesium to help correct the calcium metabolism and took my baths.
About a little over a month went by and I decided to try to drop off my prescription medications to see if I really still needed them. One by one I quit taking them. Asthma inhaler, Asthma Steroid, Nasal Steroid, Anti depressant, Anti Anxiety, Migraine and Allergy. I wasn’t even taking much aspirin or ibuprofen. Didn’t even seem to miss them. My pain had decreased so much. I was getting my life back after wanting to give up. Fast forward to today, pain has decreased to almost none. Bones feel much stronger as do my joints. My energy has returned, depression has lifted, I’m not as anxious. My thyroid gained correct function, no more heart palpitations, weakness, muscle weakness, or bone pain.
My hair stopped falling out and has returned to growing back in. Skin feels more youthful and not dry. Eye sight seems to be improving still. Libido has increased some, no more gut issues, UTI’s or yeast infections so far. My nails are even growing longer and stronger. My bone spur on my spine disappeared, psoriasis improved, cholesterol and vitamin D levels are improved, muscle tension is very seldom. Another thing I did other than getting rid of fluoride and tooth paste with it, I used some of my dissolved dose as part of my oral healthcare. Poured some of the mixture on my toothbrush during brushing every time. In no time, my teeth were not chipping, sensitive or weak. Gums stopped bleeding and I had no mouth sores.
The best part, my teeth are getting whiter all the time! I’m just amazed at the results I have had. I’m continuing with a maintenance dose of 3-6 mg daily and I’m still a fan of my baths and tooth care routine. Borax has been a life saver for me. I will continue to introduce others to it. My whole family are fans too. Even my dog without her case of the itchies. It doesn’t always take large doses to be effective. Low and slow is my motto. Don’t forget magnesium and other essential vitamins too! Don’t give up! If used properly, Borax can be the best thing we can do for our health!
God Bless!
