Thanks for adding that. Based on what borax can be used for, I am not sure I'd want to tan my hide prematurely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax

Having said that, the discussion about alkalizing is important. Most people are acidic. This is due to typical eating habits that include sugar, alcohol and processed foods among other things.

I once did a green diet where I ate only alkalizing foods for two weeks. This included predominantly vegetables. You can search for alkalizing foods.

As you can imagine, it includes all of the things we inherently know are healthy for us. Whole, natural, organic vegetables.

One of the reasons we store body fat is to protect our vital organs from high acidity. Alkalizing neutralizes acidity and restores balance.

I dropped 14 pounds in 14 days and ate as much food as I wanted. I was never hungry. Huge salads for the most part. You can even find alkalizing salad dressings. They are mostly homemade not store bought.

Anyways, of all the things I have done that was probably the healthiest thing ever. I could practically hear my body screaming thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had more energy than I knew what to do with and felt great. In addition, my sense of taste exploded. Previous to this a cherry tomato tasted blah. While doing it, it busted with flavor.

For the OP, if you have aches and pains. Try it out. Maybe you are too acidic.

This is not medical advice but I am pretty sure medical professionals and health coaches say vegetables are good for you.

Anyways, good luck!
