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:
Almost time for that 1 month update. Gonna hold you to it, fren.
Yep. Gonna make a post about it. Will tag u in the title 😁
👍
u/farpointpatriot Link/update? I got a box with no intent to cure anything in particular, but am curious for firsthand accounts.
My thinking on these sorts of cures is to try a very small amount while I'm healthy (Sherlock Holmes style) so I can know if it has an effect on the baseline.
I did not follow through like I intended. I found something that worked incredibly well. I did a 3 day all water fast. On day 4 most all of my major aches and pains just vanished. Yes, I lost weight which helped relieve the stress on my joints, but no way I lost enough to account for all of it.
Autophagy is a very VERY real thing. My addiction to sugar made day 2 a brutal experience, but I made it (82 hours in total). After that I went to a strict Paleo diet for about 6 weeks. Its shocking how the bodies machinery functions much better when you remove trash from your diet.
