I learned about this almost 3 years ago, probably from a fren here. Before learning about borax, I took glucosamine and condroitin for arthritis pain daily, and ibuprofen pretty often. Arthritis pain was gone within a month or two, and it's rare for me to experience pain now. My husband also experienced a significant improvement in arthritis pain. We are over 65 years old. Look up The Borax Conspiracy.
