Thank you for getting the word out!

A year and a half ago, an orthopedic surgeon told me that my left knee was a classic case of bone-on-bone arthritis, and that I would need to get a knee replacement. In addition to following the advice of Dr Ken Barry's YouTube video on knee arthritis relief, I started putting 1/8 tsp of Borax in my big (750 mL/1.5 pint) morning mug of coffee. My knee is fine now, no need for surgery.

Thank you. Is taking two - 3 mg Boron pills per day just as good as mixing Borax and water?

They told me the same thing in 2012 and said left inside knee need replaced, I regret ever doing that..

I'm sorry to hear that, but please try not to beat yourself up over it. We're all conditioned to uncritically follow advice from medical specialists. It wasn't until after decades of terrible medical guidance that I started questioning everything. If I'd done that earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of grief and harm. Unfortunately, that applies to most of us.

How long into talking the solution did you feel results were happening?

I didn't just start taking Borax every day, I also completely eliminated inflammatory foods (switched to a keto diet plus no seed oils), started going for a daily walk (this was painful in the beginning), and prioritized getting enough sleep.

I can't remember exactly how long it took, maybe a few weeks? Now my knee gives me zero trouble unless I eat something inflammatory.

So you were talking your whole daily dose at once in the morning? The food part makes sense mine flares up when i eat bad. Thank you in advance.

Claudia's avatar

Yes, that's right. I have the Borax all at once in the morning, but others dissolve the Borax in big bottle of water, which they sip throughout the day, so I don't think it matters. However, I should mention that men need twice as much Borax as women, so I'd suggest you take a 1/4 teaspoon every day.

No worries, I'm happy to help. Yes, that's the brand I use. It's available pretty much everywhere, often the section of the store where the laundry detergents are.

I put a 1/8 of a Spoonful in a gallon of disstilled water once a week I think the reason it works, it alkalises your system the same way deep breathing does

I try to ingest 2 - 3 pinches of good old 20 Mule Team Borax every day, in my cups of water and smoothies. I have read that it is the one thing that can break down graphene oxide in the body. Whether or not that is so, I’m still taking it for the overall benefits.

Don’t consume this toxic synthetic junk. If you want boron go straight to the natural and plentiful source - dandelions!

They grow everywhere and they’re free.

It’s a cumulative problem that affects the kidneys over an extended period of time. But your body your choice.

I am curious to know what you think Borax has done for you thus far though?

Natural food derived boron is good for the body but industrial grade Borax is not.

But if compromising your kidneys is something you don't mind then go right ahead, and chug the Borax.

The issue with 20 mule team borax is the chain of possession. It is not mind and packaged and shipped as a pharmaceutical grade substance. The product itself is exactly what you need however, it is not a controlled process. Someone needs to take the end product and run it through a controlled study to see exactly what’s in it. The company is simply saying that to its knowledge, the only ingredient is sodium borate. The sodium borate is mined in a crude fashion. They use explosives and no one tracks how it shipped what it shipped in how contaminants in the shipping method such as dirty floors that can penetrate perhaps a sack or other storage methods. It is not a controlled chain of custody. Part of pharmaceutical grade means that it is a controlled custody so that it is not contaminated.

I am simply showing an example of what to look for when taking a supplement. In terms of its purity and authenticity. I understand that shilajit is not borax.

Above is an analytical report for a substance called Shilajit. This is what the person I buy it from has made available to his customers.

Does borax provide the same?

I'm confused. Why take borax if you can just take a boron supplement?

Expand full comment
Guido's avatar

Why buy a boron supplement when you can get a lifetime of borax for less?

Expand full comment
Curious Outlier's avatar

I agree. A lifetime of boron for about eight bucks or about 15 bucks a month for the supplement. That one's a no-brainer for me.

Personally, I like making my own medicines. I already take too many pills. Otherwise it's just cost. Well... Most pills have crap in them you don't really want or need, like silicon dioxide, silicon or titanium or mag stearate,

Sometimes the companies don't list all the ingredients or the fillers, perhaps not their fault due to what their manufacturing sources tell them? There are a few vitamins I take that upset my stomach for about15 minutes.

Guido's avatar

I agree. Especially "diluted powders" are not straight forward to make. To make a boron supplement companies would also start with pure boric acid or borax. If you dilute it with water then the laws of physics and chemistry dilute it automatically evenly. You just stir and wait. Water has no known side effect. When using powders to dilute a powder like borax then there is nothing in physics that ensures even mixing and on top of that those "filler powders" are often not harmless.

Does anyone have any experience with getting rid of some kind of calcification growth on a finger? I know someone who has had surgery twice and it keeps growing back. He's currently trying papain mixed with DMSO topically. Do you have any specific testimonies of it dissolving a calcification?

Thank you for any help!

I would love an answer. My husband has the same nodules. I was going to try MMS1 or CDS with DMSO.

I have seen some nodules like this go away with the combination of DMSO and CLO2 but not all of them. I think it depends on what's causing them.

Rachel's avatar

Yes that stands to reason. How would you propose determining the cause?

HTMA? Dr. Stillman really utilizes that in testing by using more advanced, relational style analysis between minerals/heavy metals, etc. it seems.

Flechas recommended 50 mgs per day or 1/16th teaspoon per day. Yes the dose matters.

Self correction on the dose: I rechecked it. Dr Flechas recommends 50 mgs per day or 1 level 1/8th teaspoon per day which is equivalent to 2 pinches of Borax if you don't have a measuring spoon.

I cured arthritis 7yrs ago with magnesium. It was calcium deposits and advanced. Reading your article sounds like copy/paste from THE MIRACLE OF MAGNESIUM book by couple of lady doctors. My friend suffered from rheumatoid and tried the same regimen to no avail. So I dug deeper and found the Boron info and we did 30mg daily for 90days. Nothing. I was control and I had no side effects but he had zero improvement. I feel so bad for him especially because hes 55yr old and Im 70. Hes in a wheelchair now. Alkalinity is the cure for Cancer. Baking Soda. Raise your pH to 7.5 and keep it there.
