I was just pointing out the fallacious assumption in your original comment that Borax is dangerous for human consumption just because it has been used as a pesticide. Many products have different purposes in different doses in different applications.
Trust whomever you want as an authoritative source, but independent research is always the most trustworthy.
I really don't care what you do, I just think someone on tiktok that claims suppressed knowledge should be treated with the same skepticism as you give the government.
You continue to miss the point. Products can be used for different purposes, and to assume that a product can only be used for a single purpose is limiting your thought process.
I never said such a stupid thing. I said people should express skepticism. Something that can be sorely lacking here at times.
The toxological data that was provided here in a few links had a few holes in it and not much data on long term exposure. Yet I'm also reading people on here saying they drink it regularly and others wanting to try it.
You're right about research and skepticism, but that's not the part of your comment I was addressing. I was just pointing out that a product that is used as a pesticide in some form may also be used as a therapeutic. I provided some examples of products used for different purposes.
I personally don't take Borax although I add it to my laundry sometimes. I have used Boric Acid to flush debris out of my eyes, though. I don't even watch TikTok videos much less take any medical advice from them.
