I read this topic on here about 3 months ago and decided to give it a try. In the last few years my wrists and certain finger joints began to ache 24/7. I'm in my early 50's and always have been very fit, active, and health conscious and know my body very well. I also have suffered from osteoarthritis in my lower back for decades due to injury.
I started with 1/4 teaspoon of borax in my morning shake after workout. Drank my normal 2 litres of water by lunch and then added another 1/4 teaspoon to plain water for my afternoon 1.5 litres.
Within a week my wrists and fingers were about 60-70% better and I could feel something happening in my back and knees. At first there was some different areas of mild discomfort (and this is expected as the calcium deposits break up) and now they are pain free after about 3 months. There are many other positive health effects with boron supplementation as well as antiviral, anti-fungal plus anti-tumour properties. Check it out:
Cut out SUGAR. No cookies, cakes, sodas, or anything with sugar. I found that after a couple of weeks on a Keto diet my achy knees were a lot better. Sugar is an inflammatory agent and will make all your joints painful, especially if you are older in age. Youths tolerate huge amounts of sugar but anyone over 50 will notice their joints beginning to hurt more with an increased sugar diet. Lay off the sugar for a couple of weeks and see if your body reacts positively to the change.
