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:
Thanks for the report. Good to know.
For the curious, in the US at least, you can get 20-Mule Team brand Borax, which is pure borax. If they have it, it's in the laundry section.
You mean this is literally already on top of my wash tower??
Yup. If you read the borax conspiracy, it will tell you why the box has a lot of scary messages. A few years ago, I had a teaspoon / day regularly. Didn't do much for me at the time, but I've never had cancer either. Or arthritis.
