I found this site ( repost china 2020 post) about Borax or boric acid. And hope some people can chare thear expirience about the subjekt or give deeper medical expertise thanks in advance.
The text below was translatet with a translator can´t say for sure if everything is 100 % well translated but overal it should be fine.
"Borax and boric acid have basically the same effect: they have a strong disinfectant effect, especially against fungi and viruses, but only a weak antibacterial effect. In plants and animals, boron is essential for the stability and functionality of cell walls and for the transmission of signals through cell membranes. "
Interview The Borax Conspiracy: "The End of the Arthritis Cure "Walter Last
.
"A simple household remedy of former times seems to have the potential to ruin the medical industry's business. This is probably why it has now been blacklisted. It's hard to imagine that a simple insect repellent and detergent surfactant called Borax could single-handedly to bring him down. But don't worry: the danger has been recognized and the necessary countermeasures have been initiated.
.
The situation is under control. When you read the whole story, you'll understand what I mean. I'm gonna start with a little basic knowledge. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined and processed into various boron compounds
will. The main deposits are in Turkey and California. Chemically correct names are sodium tetraborate decahydrate, disodium tetraborate decahydrate or simply sodium borate. Disodium tetraborate decahydrate means: Borax consists of two sodium atoms, a nucleus of four boron atoms and ten (sometimes less) molecules of water of crystallization.
.
Borax is therefore the sodium salt of weak boric acid. Because of the sodium, borax solution has a pH value of 9-10 (pH 7 is neutral), so it is strongly alkaline. In the stomach borax reacts with hydrochloric acid to boric acid and sodium chloride. Boron compounds are quickly and almost completely excreted with the urine.
Borax contains 11.3 percent boron, boric acid 17.5 percent. In the past, boric acid was often used to preserve food. In the meantime, it may no longer be used for this purpose in most countries - trade in boric acid is prohibited in Australia and other countries. Among orthodox medical practitioners it is considered unknown whether boron is essential for human life. However, research results suggest that we need it.
This was not easy to find out because boron is found in all plants and unprocessed food. A diet with enough fresh fruit and vegetables provides us with two to five milligrams of boron per day, whereby the amount also depends on where and how the food was grown. Residents of western countries, however, consume on average only one to two milligrams of boron per day. Patients in hospitals may receive only 0.25 milligrams per day. Chemical fertilizers inhibit the absorption of the mineral from the soil. An organic apple grown in a region with good soil can contain up to 20 milligrams of boron - a conventional fertilizer can contain only one milligram. Chemical fertilizers and the use of poor quality food mean that much less boron is obtained today than 50 or 100 years ago. Unhealthy cooking methods also reduce the availability of boron in food.
The cooking water of vegetables contains a large part of the minerals, but is often discarded at home and during industrial processing.
Phytic acid in baked goods, cereals and cooked pulses can severely limit the availability. Gluten intolerance and strong
Growth of yeast fungi (Candida) block the absorption of minerals. Overall, health problems due to boron deficiency are therefore quite common today.
to be found frequently.

Health effect
.
Borax and boric acid have basically the same effect: they have a strong disinfectant effect, especially against fungi and viruses, but only a weak antibacterial effect. In plants and animals, boron is essential for the stability and functionality of cell walls and for the transmission of signals through cell membranes.
Boron is stored throughout the body. The highest concentration is found in the parathyroid glands, followed by bone and enamel. Boron is essential for healthy bones and joints. Through its effect on the parathyroid glands, it regulates the absorption and metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Boron is therefore as important for the parathyroid glands as iodine is for the thyroid.
.
Boron deficiency causes hyperactivity of the parathyroid glands,
who then release too much of their hormone. The hormone releases calcium from the bones
and teeth, which increases the calcium level in the blood. This leads to joint arthrosis and other forms of arthrosis and arthritis as well as osteoporosis and Tooth damage. With increasing age, high calcium levels lead to calcification of soft tissue, which causes muscle tension and joint stiffness.
.
The arteries and endocrine glands, especially the pineal and ovary glands, also calcify. Kidney stones and kidney calcification can also occur, which ultimately leads to kidney failure. Boron deficiency in combination with magnesium deficiency is particularly harmful to bones and teeth. Boron affects the metabolism of steroid hormones, especially the sex hormones. In men it increases testosterone levels, and in menopausal women it increases oestrogen levels.
It is also involved in the conversion of vitamin D into its active form.
.
Borax helps the body to store calcium better in the bones and teeth, rather than causing calcification of soft tissue. Other positive effects have also been reported. For example, it has been shown to improve heart problems and psoriasis, strengthen vision, balance and memory, and improve cognitive performance.
The German cancer researcher Dr. Paul-Gerhard Seeger was able to show that cancers usually begin with the decay of cell membranes. Because boron is so important for the function of the cell membranes, the widespread boron deficiency that is now common could be a serious trigger for tumor growth.
.
Boron compounds have tumour-inhibiting properties and are "potent agents against osteoporosis and inflammation. They have a hypolipemic and anticoagulant effect and prevent tissue degeneration".
.
Even this brief overview illustrates how comprehensive the influence of boron is on our health. I would like to describe some aspects in more detail below. Due to chemical fertilizers and the use of bad food we get much less boron today than 50 or 100 years ago.
.
The arthritis cure by Rex Newnham
.
In the 1960s, the osteopath and naturopath Dr. Rex Newnham became ill with osteoarthritis. At that time he worked as a soil and plant scientist at the University of Perth in Australia. Conventional medicine did not work for him. Through his knowledge
through the biochemistry of plants he got to the bottom of the cause of the disease. He had noticed that the plants in his area had severe mineral deficiencies
and he knew that boron supports the calcium metabolism of plants. So he decided to experimentally take 30 milligrams of borax per day.
.
Within three weeks his pain, swelling and joint stiffness had disappeared. He reported his discovery to the health authorities and medical schools, but no one there was interested. Other osteoarthritis patients, however, were delighted with the effect. But some were afraid to take something that had a poison warning on the packaging and was actually intended to fight ants and cockroaches. Newnham finally ordered tablets with a safe and effective dose of borax. By word of mouth alone, he sold 10,000 bottles of tablets per month for the next five years.
.
When he could no longer cope with the rush, he commissioned a drug manufacturer to market them. This was a serious mistake. It was signalled to him that his drug would displace more expensive drugs and reduce the profits of the industry. Representatives of the pharmaceutical industry on the Australian health committees were able to push through a regulation in 1981 that declared boron and boron compounds to be toxic, regardless of their concentration.
Newnham had to pay a $1,000 fine for selling toxic substances, and the spread of his arthrosis drug in Australia was effectively stopped.
2
He then published several scientific articles on borax and osteoarthritis. One of them described a double-blind experiment carried out at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in the mid 1980s. In 70 percent of the participants who completed the trial, the symptoms had improved significantly, but only in 12 percent of the placebo group.
There were no undesirable side effects. Some patients reported that their heart problems had also improved. Overall, they were found to be in better general health and less fatigued.
.
Newnham's further research was mainly concerned with the relationship between osteoarthritis and the boron content of the soil. For example, he found that the soils of the traditional sugar cane islands contain very low levels of boron due to prolonged, massive use of fertilizers. Jamaica has the lowest levels, and in fact 70 percent of the population suffers from osteoarthritis. Newnham noticed that even most dogs limp there. In Mauritius, too, the soil is very low in boron, and the rate of arthritis is 50 percent. The population of these countries consumes less than one milligram of boron per day. It is interesting to compare the original population of the Fiji Islands with the immigrated Indians. The arthrosis rate among the Indian-born inhabitants is estimated at about 40 percent. They consume a lot of rice, which, with the help of fertilizer
is cultivated. In contrast, the indigenous population (ten percent arthrosis) feeds mainly on starchy root vegetables, which are grown privately and without
use of fertilizer is cultivated.
.
The soils in the USA, England, Australia and New Zealand usually have an average boron content. The population consumes about one to two milligrams of boron per day, and the rate of arthrosis is about 20 percent.
.
However, the soils and drinking water of the city of Carnavon in Western Australia have a high boron content. Only one percent of the population suffers from arthrosis. The situation is similar in a town called Ngawha Springs in New Zealand. The mineral spring there has a high boron content and is considered curative for arthritis. In fact, all spas for joint diseases have very high boron levels. They are also far above average in Israel - the population here consumes an estimated five to eight milligrams of boron per day and has a very low arthrosis rate of 0.5-1 percent. Bone analyses have shown that joints affected by osteoarthritis and the adjacent bones contain only half as much boron as healthy joints. Likewise, the synovial fluid - the "synovial lubricant" that also supplies the cartilage with nutrients - has a low boron content when the joint is affected by arthrosis.
.
Dr. Newnham decided to try 30 milligrams of borax per day. Within three weeks, his pain, swelling and joint stiffness had disappeared.
.
Boron supplementation made his bones much harder than usual, and surgeons had more difficulty cutting them during surgery. With additional boron, bone fractures in humans and animals heal in about half the time. Horses and dogs with broken legs, even with hip fractures, nosedive completely. Borax is also effective against other conditions, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis and lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus). Dr. Newnham treated
z. for example, a nine month old patient suffering from juvenile arthritis. He could cure her within two weeks. Newnham wrote that patients are usually treated one to three months from their pain, swelling and joint stiffness
.
After that, they can reduce their intake from three to one boron tablet (three milligrams each) per day as a maintenance dose in order to avoid arthrosis in the future. He noted that patients with rheumatoid arthritis often experience a Herxheimer's reaction, which is always a good sign. They have to endure the reaction, and in another two to three weeks the disease symptoms are overcome.4,5 I find this both interesting and surprising.
The Herxheimer's reaction is an initial worsening of the symptoms with increased pain. The body thus reacts to the toxins of killed pathogens (candida and mycoplasma). It is very common in antimicrobial treatment, and borax is certainly an exceptionally effective fungicide.
However, I am surprised that the fungicidal effect is already apparent at the low dose of
75-90 milligrams entering. It is equally surprising that a Herxheimer's reaction is observed in up to 30 percent of patients with joint arthrosis (osteoarthritis). This indicates that the line between joint arthrosis and rheumatoid arthritis is not clear. In particularly resistant cases, I consider additional antimicrobial agents to be recommended. You can also read my article "Arthritis and Rheumatism" 6 and the brochure "Overcoming Arthritis "7 about the co-factors in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Osteoporosis and sex hormones
Boron deficiency leads to the loss of much calcium and magnesium with the urine. The daily loss of calcium can be reduced by almost 50 percent with the help of boron. The calcium comes mainly from the teeth and bones.
Boron deficiency may even be the most important factor in the development of of osteoporosis and dental damage. It is estimated that 55 percent of Americans over the age of 50 suffer from osteoporosis, about 80 percent of whom are women. It is estimated that one in three women and one in twelve men worldwide are over 50 years of osteoporosis. This leads to millions of broken bones every year. Rats with osteoporosis received a boron supplement for 30 days. After that, their bone quality was comparable to that of a healthy control group and a group treated with the hormone estradiol.8
.
The improvement in bone quality appears to be due to two related effects: The increased boron content makes the bones harder, and the restoration of normal sex hormone levels stimulates bone growth. Low post-menopausal oestrogen levels are probably the main reason why so many older women suffer from osteoporosis. In men, testosterone levels fall more slowly, which means that this group of patients develops osteoporosis later. Research has now shown that supplementation
with boron increases the blood level of the most active oestrogen variant to twice the level of the menopausal women. The 17-beta-estradiol thus reaches similar values as those observed in estrogen replacement therapies. Testosterone levels also rose to more than double.9
.
However, hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer and
Endometrial cancer. If the body produces the hormones itself (as when taking boron), this apparently does not happen. Some women suffer from premenstrual problems due to high oestrogen and low progesterone levels and are therefore reluctant to take boron. So far, I have no evidence that boron raises estrogen levels above the healthy normal level. Boron probably has a similar balancing effect on sex hormone levels as maca root powder. Maca has an effect on the pituitary gland, thus raising the hormone level. It has a balancing effect and apparently also stimulates the body's own production of progesterone when required. A new study with middle-aged men (29-50 years) shows that the blood level of free testosterone - the most important form of the hormone - increased by a third after the test persons had received approx. 100 milligrams of borax daily for one week.10
This is particularly interesting for bodybuilders.
Men with prostate cancer are preferably subjected to so-called chemical castration by conventional medicine in order to lower testosterone levels. Experiments with boron, on the other hand, show that an increased testosterone level is more beneficial because it makes prostate tumours shrink. The blood level of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is an indicator of tumours and inflammation in the prostate, is also reduced.
An increased sex hormone level is apparently also partly responsible for significantly improved memory and cognitive performance in older people, as are the improved membrane functions of brain cells.11
.
I received questions about boron supplementation in women with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. Breast cancer is related to calcifications in the breast. Mine According to the opinion, it is more important to balance the calcium-magnesium metabolism and to support the membrane functions of the cells than it is possible to compensate for a possible
the wrong medical approach in his choice of therapy.
This is mainly because I believe that cancer can usually be brought under control with long-term antimicrobial therapy. In such cases I would recommend both Boron and Maca.
.
Fungi and Fluoride
Because of its excellent fungicidal properties, borax is also used for candidiasis therapy. On the website http://www.Earthclinic.com there is a forum with a lot of interesting information about Borax.12
Slim to normal weight people take 1/8 teaspoonful of borax powder dissolved in one litre of water daily, heavy weight people take 1/4 teaspoonful. The solution is drunk throughout the day, four to five days a week, for as long as necessary.
.
Many forum members report that Borax has helped them a lot, up to healing. For example, let's look at the following post: "I also suffer from psoriasis, my joint pain probably comes from the beginning Psoriatic arthritis. When I read about Borax here on the Forum, I thought I'd try it once. Oh, my God! After one day the pain in my knees was gone! […] Also the psoriasis looks much better after two days of Borax. I take 1/4 teaspoon in a liter of water a day."
.
Another member writes about a friend's athlete's foot:
"He rubbed his wet feet with a handful of (Borax), and I guess it stopped itching right away. He was speechless. When I asked him about the athlete's foot a few weeks later, he said "Wow, he hasn't come back since! That stuff completely cured him!" There are also enthusiastic comments about the effect on vaginal fungal infections. Borax is obviously here more effective than other means. Usually a large gelatine capsule is filled with borax or boric acid and inserted at bedtime. This is repeated every night for up to two weeks. Alternatively, the powder can be mixed with cool, solidified coconut fat to make a pill or suppository. The positive reports on the treatment of vaginal mycosis
are supported by a new study13 .
.
Boric acid (one capsule full) even helped against drug-resistant Candida infections, also against all pathogenic bacteria tested. Because of the high dilution, a rinse or shower is probably not effective enough against bacteria and resistant Candida, but should be sufficient for a normal Candida infection. Borax was more effective than boric acid because of its alkalinity. In healthy people Candida are harmless oval yeast cells. Under unfavourable conditions they form chains of elongated cells (pseudo-hyphae), and finally highly invasive, long, tubular or thread-like cell structures (hyphae).
They damage the intestinal wall and cause inflammation and the so-called "leaky good syndrome".
Here the intestinal wall becomes permeable for microbial products and incompletely digested proteins. Pseudo-hyphae and hyphae are found in the blood of patients suffering from cancer and autoimmune diseases. Candida can also form tough biofilm layers. The same study shows that boric acid or borax inhibit the formation of biofilm, as well as the transformation of harmless yeast cells into invasive hyphae. In previous articles I have described that such processes, mainly triggered by antibiotics, are a fundamental cause of most modern diseases. This makes boric acid and borax essential remedies. But also for many other reasons they cannot be valued highly enough.
.
A scientific opinion in 2011 concluded that "[...] boric acid is a safe and economical alternative for women with recurrent and chronic symptoms of vaginitis when conventional treatments fail. "14
.
If it works so much better than conventional drugs, why not use boric acid as the first drug of choice? Or the even more effective borax? Another study from Turkey15 confirms that boric acid has a protective effect on foods that are contaminated with mould toxins, especially fungal aflatoxins are loaded. Aflatoxin B1, for example, causes severe DNA damage. It is the most powerful carcinogen ever tested and affects the liver and lungs in particular. It is also immunotoxic and causes
Birth defects and deaths in farm animals and humans.
.
Treatment with boric acid resulted in improved resistance of DNA to oxidative damage caused by aflatoxin B1. The strong fungicidal effect of boric acid is of course the reason why it has traditionally been used as a food preservative.
Borax can - similar to Lugol's iodine solution, which is also under attack - be used to remove fluoride and heavy metals accumulated in the body.16
Fluoride is bone-damaging, causes calcification in the pineal gland and leads to hypothyroidism. Borax reacts with fluoride ions to form boron fluorides, which are excreted with the urine. In a Chinese study, borax was tested to treat 31 patients suffering from skeletal fluorosis. During the three-month trial period, the dose was slowly increased from 300 to 1,100 milligrams per day; one week per month was paused. After treatment, improvements of 50 to 80 percent were seen.
.
One forum participant had been suffering from fibromyalgia and rosacea, chronic fatigue syndrome and temporomandibular joint pain for more than ten years. (craniomandibular dysfunction) She suspected fluoride in the cause. She dissolved 1/8 teaspoon of borax and 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in one litre of chlorine-free water and drank the mixture five days a week. Within two weeks her facial skin cleared up, the redness faded and her body temperature normalized. She had more energy again and was able to reduce her overweight steadily. The only side effect was an initial worsening of her rosacea symptoms.
.
Borax can be used to remove fluoride and in the body
accumulated heavy metals are used.
.
Another contribution speaks for itself: "Seven years ago I had thyroid cancer, the next year adrenal gland weakness, then too early entry into menopause, a year later uterus prolapse and removal. The following year, fibromyalgia and neuropathy. As a small child always fluorinated water and fluoride tablets get. In autumn 2008 I was faced with total disability. I could hardly walk, before Pain does not sleep. Vomited every day because of the back pain. ... After reading about fluoride, I realized where my problems were coming from. I started the borax detox with 1/8 teaspoon in a liter of water, and after three days my symptoms were almost gone."
Calcium-magnesium metabolism
.
Calcium and magnesium are antagonists in the human body. At the same time there is also cooperation between them. About half of the body's total magnesium is found in the bones, the other half inside the tissue and organ cells. Only one percent is found in the blood. The kidneys keep the level constant by excreting more or less of it with the urine.
In contrast, 99 percent of the calcium is found in the bones and the rest in the fluid outside the cells. Muscles contract when calcium enters the Cells arrive and relax when it is pumped out again and magnesium takes its place.
This cell pump requires a lot of energy. If cells have too little energy, calcium can accumulate inside. The lack of energy can be caused by Candida, also by a disturbed sugar or fat metabolism, malnutrition, or by the accumulation of metabolic products and toxins. As a result, the muscles cannot relax completely, stiffen and become more prone to cramps.
The blood circulation and the flow of lymph are disturbed. The more calcium from the bones gets into the soft tissue, the worse the problem becomes. Calcium can also accumulate in nerve cells, which leads to disturbances in the transmission of nerve impulses.
It causes cataracts in the lenses of the eyes. Through increasing calcification of the
hormone glands, the hormone secretion is disturbed and all cells are hindered in their functions. Calcification also causes intracellular magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is needed to activate numerous enzymes - the deficiency leads to less efficient or blocked energy production. In addition, excess calcium damages the cell membranes. As a result, nutrients cannot enter the cells properly and waste products of the metabolism cannot be released. be transported out. If the intracellular calcium level becomes too high, the cells die. This is where the importance of boron in regulating cell membrane functions becomes apparent, particularly in the passage of calcium and magnesium. Due to boron deficiency, too much calcium accumulates in the cells and the magnesium cannot get in to replace it. We find this problem and the diseases associated with it mainly in old people.
In young, healthy people, a calcium-magnesium ratio of 2:1 is normal. It is ensured by good nutrition. The older we get, the more magnesium and less calcium we need. In order for boron to have its full effect on tissue decalcification, sufficient magnesium is needed. At For older patients, I recommend 400 to 600 milligrams, taken with the borax dose spread over the day, with additional transdermal magnesium (skin patch) for long-term joint problems. Orally can However, magnesium has a laxative effect, and the dose may have to be adjusted accordingly. I doubt whether supplementation with calcium is necessary and useful - even in osteoporosis. In my opinion, those affected have sufficient calcium stored in the soft tissue where it does not belong. By supplementing with boron and magnesium, the displaced calcium should be relocated to the bones. I regard the concentration of orthodox medicine on high calcium doses as accelerated aging on prescription.
.
What and how much?
.
In some countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the USA borax is still found in the household departments of supermarkets and drugstores. "Food grade"... Borax is not available and not necessary. The label usually identifies the product as 99 percent pure, which is safe for use. This is also the legal standard for use in agriculture. Up to one percent degradation and refinement residues are permitted. If available, boric acid can be used in an amount equivalent to approximately 2/3 of the borax dose.
.
First dissolve a slightly heaped teaspoon of borax (five to six grams) in one liter of chlorine- and fluoride-free drinking water. This is your concentrate.
Pour it into a bottle and keep it out of reach of small children. - Standard dose = about one teaspoon (five millilitres) of the concentrate. It contains 25 to 30 milligrams of borax and provides you with three milligrams of boron. First take one standard dose per day with a meal. If it feels okay, take another dose with another meal. If you do not have any specific health problems, you can take one or two standard doses per day permanently. This amount is also suitable as a maintenance dose. Increase to three or more standard doses if you suffer from diseases such as osteoarthritis or osteoporosis and related problems. The same applies to joint stiffness in old age, if you are currently going through menopause or want to stimulate the production of sex hormones. Take the amount spread over the day. Continue this for several months until you feel that your problems have clearly improved. Then go back to one or two standard doses per day.
If you wish to try the higher doses recommended at http://www.Earthclinic.com for candidiasis treatment and fluoride removal, use the concentrated solution as follows:
- Low dose for slim and normal weight people - 100 milliliters (equivalent to about 1/8 teaspoon of Borax Puler); drink throughout the day. - High dose for heavyweight people - 200 millilitres (about 1/4 teaspoon of borax powder); drink over the
Drink spread out over the day.
.
Always start with the standard dose and slowly increase the dose to the intended amount. take the maximum dose four to five days per Week, for as long as it takes. Borax solution is quite alkaline and has a soapy taste at higher concentrations. With lemon juice, vinegar or ascorbic acid
they can cover it up.
.
Borax and boric acid have been identified in Europe as toxic to reproduction and have been classified in the EU since December 2010 no longer available for free sale. In Switzerland Borax at the moment still available17, shipping to
However, Germany is not permitted. Here you can download it but in smaller quantities (20-50 grams) in pharmacies
as ant poison. Boron tablets (usually containing three milligrams of boron) can be ordered in health food shops or on the Internet. You contain boron in bound form, not in ionic form as with borax or boric acid. For food supplement they are generally suitable, but I do not expect they are effective against candida and mycoplasma, as well little as quick help against arthrosis, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. Most scientific Studies and personal experience refer to borax or boric acid.
To increase the effectiveness, I recommend taking three or more boron tablets spread over the day for a longer period of time, combined with sufficient magnesium and appropriate antimicrobial therapy.18
.
Possible side effects
.
The side effects of pharmaceutical products are usually undesirable, often dangerous. In contrast, natural drugs such as borax are usually healing reactions with beneficial long-term effects. The Herxheimer reaction in the elimination of Candida occurs most frequently. In some of the forum contributions quoted above, rapid improvement within a few days is reported.
This is always a functional response of the body. High calcium levels in the cells often cause painful muscle contractions with
Cramps or convulsions. Boron, especially in combination with magnesium, can bring about rapid muscle relaxation and relieve pain.
.
In the case of long-term, severe calcifications, however, the large amount of calcium cannot be redistributed in a short time. The increased calcium level in the affected areas, especially the hips and shoulders, can cause problems for a long time. Severe cramps and pain as well as circulatory problems and sensations may occur. Nerve disorders in the hands and feet can manifest themselves as numbness or reduced sensitivity of the skin surface. Large amounts of calcium and fluoride must pass through the kidneys and can cause temporary kidney pain. Such healing reactions are unfortunately unavoidable if we want to achieve an overall better state of health.
.
If you notice any unpleasant side effects, reduce the borax dose or stop taking it until the problem subsides. Then slowly increase the dose again. A strongly increased fluid intake with organic
acids such as lemon juice, ascorbic acid and vinegar. Improving the lymphatic flow by trampoline jumping, walking or head-over-heels positions such as standing on your head, hanging and the like is also beneficial.
.
Toxic or not?
The health authorities are concerned about the possible toxicity of boron. If they read the following about sodium chloride (table salt), you are probably also worried.19
"Acute oral toxicity (LD50 - the dose at which
half of the laboratory animals die): 3,000 mg/kg (rat). Chronic effect in humans: Mutagenic to mammalian body cells. Slightly dangerous by skin contact, ingestion or inhalation. Lowest published lethal dose (oral) in humans: 1000 mg / kg. By placental route damaging to the fertility in humans (fetotoxicity, abortion), risk of pregnancy toxicosis in susceptible women. Can cause fertility problems and birth defects in animals, especially rats and mice (fetotoxicity, abortion, musculoskeletal anomalies); in the mother, damage to the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Mutagenicity is possible. Consumption of large quantities can lead to stomach upset with nausea and vomiting. May cause behavioural disorders (muscle spasticity / twitching, somnolence). Impairment of sensory organs, metabolism and cardiovascular system. Continued ingestion may lead to dehydration, organ overload and coma."
.
Compare this with the safety data sheet 20 for borax:
"Low acute oral toxicity; LD50 in rats 4,500-6,000 mg/kg body weight. Reproductive toxicity / fruit damage: Animal studies in rat, mouse and dog show effects on fertility and testicles at high doses. Studies with boric acid in rat, mouse, and rabbit show effects on fetal development, including weight loss and minor skeletal changes, at high doses. The doses administered were several times higher than those to which humans are normally exposed. No evidence of carcinogenicity in mice. In a series of short-term mutagenicity studies, no mutagenic effect was found. Epidemiological studies have not shown an increase in lung diseases in people who are chronically exposed to borax dust
...and no effect on fertility."
.
Table salt is therefore 50 to 100 percent more toxic than borax and changes the genetic material; borax is harmless in this respect. Children are affected by the consumption of high
Borax levels most at risk. It is estimated that five to ten grams can cause severe vomiting and diarrhoea, shock or even death. However, the actual lethal dose is poorly documented in the literature. The following data on poisoning are from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Health Protection Agency
CDC (Centers for Disease Control).21,22
.
A report of 784 cases of poisoning by accidental ingestion of ten to 88 grams of boric acid does not list any deaths. 88 percent of the cases were asymptomatic, so no effect was noticed. However, in some children and adults who ingested more than 84 milligrams of boron per kilogram (equivalent to more than 40 grams of borax at 60 kilograms body weight), effects on the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, liver, kidneys and central nervous system were observed. This resulted in
Skin diseases like dermatitis and erythema. Deaths have also been reported. Reproductive toxicity was shown in animal experiments to be the most sensitive side effect of taking boron. In rats, mice and dogs, doses exceeding 26 milligrams of boron per kilogram caused damage to testicles and spermatozoa after several weeks (equivalent to 15 grams of borax per day at 60 kilograms body weight). The main risk is for foetal development, with rats being the most affected. In one study, a daily dose of 13.7 milligrams of borax per kilogram to a slight reduction in the body weight of the foetus. The safe (ineffective) dose was determined to be less than 13.7 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which corresponds to approximately seven grams of borax per day for 60 kilograms body weight. If we add a safety factor, we get a daily dose of 9.6 milligrams of boron per kilogram as an ineffective dose, i.e. five grams of borax for a body weight of 60 kilograms.
.
However, a study with rats over three generations showed no reproductive toxicity (neither in the parent animals nor in the offspring) at a daily dose of 30 milligrams of boron per kilogram. At 60 kilograms body weight, the dose corresponds to 17 grams of borax per day, taken over three generations! In a further study over three generations, 17.5 milligrams of boron per kilogram per day did not cause any problems (corresponds to nine grams of borax at 60 kilogram weight). However, the next higher tested dose of 58.5 milligrams per kilogram (30 grams of borax at 60 kilograms) led to infertility. We can therefore assume that the dose that is toxic for reproduction can be up to about 20 grams per day for a body weight of 60 kilograms. Human studies have not shown any evidence of possible impairment of fertility by borax. The study included people employed in the mining and processing of boron and a part of the Turkish population exposed to high boron levels in drinking water and soil. is. One study even reports increased fertility (compared to the US average) among workers in borax production. These are important findings. The possible damage to the fertility and the foetus in the womb (summarised as reproductive toxicity) is in fact the official
Reason for the current push against Borax.
The safety data sheet for sodium chloride quoted above also states
"Sodium chloride is used in some reproductive studies to demonstrate that no effect occurs (negative control agent). However, it was also shown by way of example that almost any chemical in animal experiments can cause fruit damage if the conditions of the study are designed accordingly".
Keep this in mind when you read the following.

The attack on Borax
Approximately 30 percent of the population of western countries suffers from arthritis and osteoarthritis in its various forms, as well as the related osteoporosis, which is responsible for more long-term hospital stays than any other disease.
Hip fractures in particular take a long time to heal. For the medical and pharmaceutical industry, this represents a significant source of income. If the healing approach with boron and magnesium became known to a broad public, this source could dry up and the system would collapse. Because it is the world's largest and the most profitable industry in the world, this must not happen.
.
When Dr. Newnham discovered his osteoarthritis treatment, this was not a big problem for the drug manufacturers at first. News spread were slow and easily suppressed. Today, the situation has changed fundamentally due to the Internet. The pharmaceutical industry finances a large part of research. So far, there have been no efforts from this side to reproduce Dr. Newnham's results or other positive studies. Instead, funds are being spent on the development of patentable boron drugs
with limited applications, e.g. in chemotherapy - or in research to discredit boron For example, a test-tube experiment
that a relatively low borax dose of four grams can damage lymphocytes. An earlier study showed that vitamin C supplements are toxic for the lymphocytes. are. Most positive borax studies today come from China, Japan and Turkey.
PubMed is a publicly funded database of biomedical research publications. Other articles from Newnham, R. E and Zhou, L. Y. are published there are still listed, but the two important studies mentioned above (on the arthrosis study at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the borax treatment of Human studies did not reveal any indications of possible adverse effects
fertility through borax. But they belong in the database and were apparently originally listed here. I suspect that they were deliberately removed so that they cannot be cited in other works. In addition, more and more energy is being invested to publicly demonize Borax for its alleged reproductive toxicity.
For example I read
recently published an article by a "senior scientist" of the "green" Environmental Working Group, a US environmental organisation. In it, the alleged dangers of borax were exaggerated to such an extent that most of the reader's comments at the end were something like: "Thank you for opening my eyes. I didn't know how toxic and dangerous borax was, and I will certainly not use it again when washing or when I clean my kitchen and toilet."
.
This is obviously a targeted campaign to make the ban on borax appear to the public as a charitable act. Borax has now been replaced by a substitute in cleaning and washing products. The EU has started the campaign: In June 2010, borax and boric acid were classified as "reproduction toxic category 2". This means that they are considered to be teratogenic and toxic for reproduction in high doses. On the packaging, the poison warning symbol
(skull with crossed bones) be imprinted.
Since December 2010, the substances are no longer available on the market in the EU. The classification is now valid for the whole of Europe - non-EU countries, however, still have some leeway in selling. The initiative is part of the GHS (Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals), which is to be implemented outside Europe as soon as possible. Australia is already well advanced in the implementation of the GHS for industrial chemicals; new regulations are expected before the end of 2012.23 The European Chemicals Agency ECHA gave the following reason for the reclassification of boron products (paraphrased): "The available data do not show any significant
Differences between laboratory animals and humans.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that the effects observed in animals could also occur in humans. Epidemiological studies in humans are not sufficient to identify harmful to exclude effects of inorganic borates on fertility. 17.5 milligrams of boron per kilogram per day was measured as NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for the fertility of male and female animals. In rats, a reduced foetal weight occurred at 13.5 milligrams of boron per kilogram per day. A safe upper limit of 9.6 milligrams per kilogram per day was established. "24
.
What they really mean by that:
"For humans we have no data. Animal experiments suggest that the consumption of about two teaspoons of borax a day can reduce the reproductive capacity of the animals. is not endangered in humans. But to be absolutely certain that no one will be harmed, we are banning it completely." It is important to note that the decision does not refer to borax in foods or food supplements, where it is already prohibited. It only concerns... the general use e.g. in cleaning and washing agents or as insecticide. Because borax is not easily inhaled or absorbed through skin contact, it is difficult to imagine how even a few milligrams per day should enter the body during normal use. If the same standard were applied to all chemicals, none would be left.
.
The basic study for the classification was published in 1972. Why is it being dug up now to justify the ban on borax?
No one has been interested in it for the last 40 years. Scientifically, this makes no sense, especially since the borax substitute consists mainly of sodium percarbonate, which is three times more toxic than borax (acute oral LD50 values for animals range from 1,034 to 2,200 milligrams per kilogram per day).25 Even the commonly used sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is almost twice as toxic as borax (LD50 at 3,360 milligrams per kilogram).26 In the high doses,
which cause fertility problems in rats and mice, both chemicals have not yet been tested for their long-term reproductive toxicity. The same applies to washing powders, where it is stated that toxicity is not to be expected when used properly
or that no tests for reproductive toxicity have been carried out.
Some ingredients of these products are more toxic than borax. Why can they be used but not borax? And what about really dangerous substances like caustic soda and hydrochloric acid? Why do they remain on the market, and one of the safest household chemicals is banned, even though it is absolutely impossible to do any harm to human reproductive capacity when used properly? Despite the lack of scientific evidence, everything is now in place to remove borax and boric acid from the global market in the short term. Even the low-dose and less effective boron tablets are strictly monitored by the pharmaceutical industry. Their sale can be restricted at any time by regulations in the Codex Alimentarius.
In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has brought all the dangers posed by borax under control and secured its profits and survival.

"Borax and boric acid have basically the same effect: they have a strong disinfectant effect, especially against fungi and viruses, but only a weak antibacterial effect. In plants and animals, boron is essential for the stability and functionality of cell walls and for the transmission of signals through cell membranes. "
Interview The Borax Conspiracy: "The End of the Arthritis Cure "Walter Last
.
"A simple household remedy of former times seems to have the potential to ruin the medical industry's business. This is probably why it has now been blacklisted. It's hard to imagine that a simple insect repellent and detergent surfactant called Borax could single-handedly to bring him down. But don't worry: the danger has been recognized and the necessary countermeasures have been initiated.
.
The situation is under control. When you read the whole story, you'll understand what I mean. I'm gonna start with a little basic knowledge. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined and processed into various boron compounds
will. The main deposits are in Turkey and California. Chemically correct names are sodium tetraborate decahydrate, disodium tetraborate decahydrate or simply sodium borate. Disodium tetraborate decahydrate means: Borax consists of two sodium atoms, a nucleus of four boron atoms and ten (sometimes less) molecules of water of crystallization.
.
Borax is therefore the sodium salt of weak boric acid. Because of the sodium, borax solution has a pH value of 9-10 (pH 7 is neutral), so it is strongly alkaline. In the stomach borax reacts with hydrochloric acid to boric acid and sodium chloride. Boron compounds are quickly and almost completely excreted with the urine.
Borax contains 11.3 percent boron, boric acid 17.5 percent. In the past, boric acid was often used to preserve food. In the meantime, it may no longer be used for this purpose in most countries - trade in boric acid is prohibited in Australia and other countries. Among orthodox medical practitioners it is considered unknown whether boron is essential for human life. However, research results suggest that we need it.
This was not easy to find out because boron is found in all plants and unprocessed food. A diet with enough fresh fruit and vegetables provides us with two to five milligrams of boron per day, whereby the amount also depends on where and how the food was grown. Residents of western countries, however, consume on average only one to two milligrams of boron per day. Patients in hospitals may receive only 0.25 milligrams per day. Chemical fertilizers inhibit the absorption of the mineral from the soil. An organic apple grown in a region with good soil can contain up to 20 milligrams of boron - a conventional fertilizer can contain only one milligram. Chemical fertilizers and the use of poor quality food mean that much less boron is obtained today than 50 or 100 years ago. Unhealthy cooking methods also reduce the availability of boron in food.
The cooking water of vegetables contains a large part of the minerals, but is often discarded at home and during industrial processing.
Phytic acid in baked goods, cereals and cooked pulses can severely limit the availability. Gluten intolerance and strong
Growth of yeast fungi (Candida) block the absorption of minerals. Overall, health problems due to boron deficiency are therefore quite common today.
to be found frequently.
.
Health effect
.
Borax and boric acid have basically the same effect: they have a strong disinfectant effect, especially against fungi and viruses, but only a weak antibacterial effect. In plants and animals, boron is essential for the stability and functionality of cell walls and for the transmission of signals through cell membranes.
Boron is stored throughout the body. The highest concentration is found in the parathyroid glands, followed by bone and enamel. Boron is essential for healthy bones and joints. Through its effect on the parathyroid glands, it regulates the absorption and metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Boron is therefore as important for the parathyroid glands as iodine is for the thyroid.
.
Boron deficiency causes hyperactivity of the parathyroid glands,
who then release too much of their hormone. The hormone releases calcium from the bones
and teeth, which increases the calcium level in the blood. This leads to joint arthrosis and other forms of arthrosis and arthritis as well as osteoporosis and Tooth damage. With increasing age, high calcium levels lead to calcification of soft tissue, which causes muscle tension and joint stiffness.
.
The arteries and endocrine glands, especially the pineal and ovary glands, also calcify. Kidney stones and kidney calcification can also occur, which ultimately leads to kidney failure. Boron deficiency in combination with magnesium deficiency is particularly harmful to bones and teeth. Boron affects the metabolism of steroid hormones, especially the sex hormones. In men it increases testosterone levels, and in menopausal women it increases oestrogen levels.
It is also involved in the conversion of vitamin D into its active form.
.
Borax helps the body to store calcium better in the bones and teeth, rather than causing calcification of soft tissue. Other positive effects have also been reported. For example, it has been shown to improve heart problems and psoriasis, strengthen vision, balance and memory, and improve cognitive performance.
The German cancer researcher Dr. Paul-Gerhard Seeger was able to show that cancers usually begin with the decay of cell membranes. Because boron is so important for the function of the cell membranes, the widespread boron deficiency that is now common could be a serious trigger for tumor growth.
.
Boron compounds have tumour-inhibiting properties and are "potent agents against osteoporosis and inflammation. They have a hypolipemic and anticoagulant effect and prevent tissue degeneration".
.
Even this brief overview illustrates how comprehensive the influence of boron is on our health. I would like to describe some aspects in more detail below. Due to chemical fertilizers and the use of bad food we get much less boron today than 50 or 100 years ago.
.
The arthritis cure by Rex Newnham
.
In the 1960s, the osteopath and naturopath Dr. Rex Newnham became ill with osteoarthritis. At that time he worked as a soil and plant scientist at the University of Perth in Australia. Conventional medicine did not work for him. Through his knowledge
through the biochemistry of plants he got to the bottom of the cause of the disease. He had noticed that the plants in his area had severe mineral deficiencies
and he knew that boron supports the calcium metabolism of plants. So he decided to experimentally take 30 milligrams of borax per day.
.
Within three weeks his pain, swelling and joint stiffness had disappeared. He reported his discovery to the health authorities and medical schools, but no one there was interested. Other osteoarthritis patients, however, were delighted with the effect. But some were afraid to take something that had a poison warning on the packaging and was actually intended to fight ants and cockroaches. Newnham finally ordered tablets with a safe and effective dose of borax. By word of mouth alone, he sold 10,000 bottles of tablets per month for the next five years.
.
When he could no longer cope with the rush, he commissioned a drug manufacturer to market them. This was a serious mistake. It was signalled to him that his drug would displace more expensive drugs and reduce the profits of the industry. Representatives of the pharmaceutical industry on the Australian health committees were able to push through a regulation in 1981 that declared boron and boron compounds to be toxic, regardless of their concentration.
Newnham had to pay a $1,000 fine for selling toxic substances, and the spread of his arthrosis drug in Australia was effectively stopped.
2
He then published several scientific articles on borax and osteoarthritis. One of them described a double-blind experiment carried out at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in the mid 1980s. In 70 percent of the participants who completed the trial, the symptoms had improved significantly, but only in 12 percent of the placebo group.
There were no undesirable side effects. Some patients reported that their heart problems had also improved. Overall, they were found to be in better general health and less fatigued.
.
Newnham's further research was mainly concerned with the relationship between osteoarthritis and the boron content of the soil. For example, he found that the soils of the traditional sugar cane islands contain very low levels of boron due to prolonged, massive use of fertilizers. Jamaica has the lowest levels, and in fact 70 percent of the population suffers from osteoarthritis. Newnham noticed that even most dogs limp there. In Mauritius, too, the soil is very low in boron, and the rate of arthritis is 50 percent. The population of these countries consumes less than one milligram of boron per day. It is interesting to compare the original population of the Fiji Islands with the immigrated Indians. The arthrosis rate among the Indian-born inhabitants is estimated at about 40 percent. They consume a lot of rice, which, with the help of fertilizer
is cultivated. In contrast, the indigenous population (ten percent arthrosis) feeds mainly on starchy root vegetables, which are grown privately and without
use of fertilizer is cultivated.
.
The soils in the USA, England, Australia and New Zealand usually have an average boron content. The population consumes about one to two milligrams of boron per day, and the rate of arthrosis is about 20 percent.
.
However, the soils and drinking water of the city of Carnavon in Western Australia have a high boron content. Only one percent of the population suffers from arthrosis. The situation is similar in a town called Ngawha Springs in New Zealand. The mineral spring there has a high boron content and is considered curative for arthritis. In fact, all spas for joint diseases have very high boron levels. They are also far above average in Israel - the population here consumes an estimated five to eight milligrams of boron per day and has a very low arthrosis rate of 0.5-1 percent. Bone analyses have shown that joints affected by osteoarthritis and the adjacent bones contain only half as much boron as healthy joints. Likewise, the synovial fluid - the "synovial lubricant" that also supplies the cartilage with nutrients - has a low boron content when the joint is affected by arthrosis.
.
Dr. Newnham decided to try 30 milligrams of borax per day. Within three weeks, his pain, swelling and joint stiffness had disappeared.
.
Boron supplementation made his bones much harder than usual, and surgeons had more difficulty cutting them during surgery. With additional boron, bone fractures in humans and animals heal in about half the time. Horses and dogs with broken legs, even with hip fractures, nosedive completely. Borax is also effective against other conditions, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis and lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus). Dr. Newnham treated
z. for example, a nine month old patient suffering from juvenile arthritis. He could cure her within two weeks. Newnham wrote that patients are usually treated one to three months from their pain, swelling and joint stiffness
.
After that, they can reduce their intake from three to one boron tablet (three milligrams each) per day as a maintenance dose in order to avoid arthrosis in the future. He noted that patients with rheumatoid arthritis often experience a Herxheimer's reaction, which is always a good sign. They have to endure the reaction, and in another two to three weeks the disease symptoms are overcome.4,5 I find this both interesting and surprising.
The Herxheimer's reaction is an initial worsening of the symptoms with increased pain. The body thus reacts to the toxins of killed pathogens (candida and mycoplasma). It is very common in antimicrobial treatment, and borax is certainly an exceptionally effective fungicide.
However, I am surprised that the fungicidal effect is already apparent at the low dose of
75-90 milligrams entering. It is equally surprising that a Herxheimer's reaction is observed in up to 30 percent of patients with joint arthrosis (osteoarthritis). This indicates that the line between joint arthrosis and rheumatoid arthritis is not clear. In particularly resistant cases, I consider additional antimicrobial agents to be recommended. You can also read my article "Arthritis and Rheumatism" 6 and the brochure "Overcoming Arthritis "7 about the co-factors in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Osteoporosis and sex hormones
Boron deficiency leads to the loss of much calcium and magnesium with the urine. The daily loss of calcium can be reduced by almost 50 percent with the help of boron. The calcium comes mainly from the teeth and bones.
Boron deficiency may even be the most important factor in the development of of osteoporosis and dental damage. It is estimated that 55 percent of Americans over the age of 50 suffer from osteoporosis, about 80 percent of whom are women. It is estimated that one in three women and one in twelve men worldwide are over 50 years of osteoporosis. This leads to millions of broken bones every year. Rats with osteoporosis received a boron supplement for 30 days. After that, their bone quality was comparable to that of a healthy control group and a group treated with the hormone estradiol.8
.
The improvement in bone quality appears to be due to two related effects: The increased boron content makes the bones harder, and the restoration of normal sex hormone levels stimulates bone growth. Low post-menopausal oestrogen levels are probably the main reason why so many older women suffer from osteoporosis. In men, testosterone levels fall more slowly, which means that this group of patients develops osteoporosis later. Research has now shown that supplementation
with boron increases the blood level of the most active oestrogen variant to twice the level of the menopausal women. The 17-beta-estradiol thus reaches similar values as those observed in estrogen replacement therapies. Testosterone levels also rose to more than double.9
.
However, hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer and
Endometrial cancer. If the body produces the hormones itself (as when taking boron), this apparently does not happen. Some women suffer from premenstrual problems due to high oestrogen and low progesterone levels and are therefore reluctant to take boron. So far, I have no evidence that boron raises estrogen levels above the healthy normal level. Boron probably has a similar balancing effect on sex hormone levels as maca root powder. Maca has an effect on the pituitary gland, thus raising the hormone level. It has a balancing effect and apparently also stimulates the body's own production of progesterone when required. A new study with middle-aged men (29-50 years) shows that the blood level of free testosterone - the most important form of the hormone - increased by a third after the test persons had received approx. 100 milligrams of borax daily for one week.10
This is particularly interesting for bodybuilders.
Men with prostate cancer are preferably subjected to so-called chemical castration by conventional medicine in order to lower testosterone levels. Experiments with boron, on the other hand, show that an increased testosterone level is more beneficial because it makes prostate tumours shrink. The blood level of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is an indicator of tumours and inflammation in the prostate, is also reduced.
An increased sex hormone level is apparently also partly responsible for significantly improved memory and cognitive performance in older people, as are the improved membrane functions of brain cells.11
.
I received questions about boron supplementation in women with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. Breast cancer is related to calcifications in the breast. Mine According to the opinion, it is more important to balance the calcium-magnesium metabolism and to support the membrane functions of the cells than it is possible to compensate for a possible
the wrong medical approach in his choice of therapy.
This is mainly because I believe that cancer can usually be brought under control with long-term antimicrobial therapy. In such cases I would recommend both Boron and Maca.
.
Fungi and Fluoride
Because of its excellent fungicidal properties, borax is also used for candidiasis therapy. On the website http://www.Earthclinic.com there is a forum with a lot of interesting information about Borax.12
Slim to normal weight people take 1/8 teaspoonful of borax powder dissolved in one litre of water daily, heavy weight people take 1/4 teaspoonful. The solution is drunk throughout the day, four to five days a week, for as long as necessary.
.
Many forum members report that Borax has helped them a lot, up to healing. For example, let's look at the following post: "I also suffer from psoriasis, my joint pain probably comes from the beginning Psoriatic arthritis. When I read about Borax here on the Forum, I thought I'd try it once. Oh, my God! After one day the pain in my knees was gone! […] Also the psoriasis looks much better after two days of Borax. I take 1/4 teaspoon in a liter of water a day."
.
Another member writes about a friend's athlete's foot:
"He rubbed his wet feet with a handful of (Borax), and I guess it stopped itching right away. He was speechless. When I asked him about the athlete's foot a few weeks later, he said "Wow, he hasn't come back since! That stuff completely cured him!" There are also enthusiastic comments about the effect on vaginal fungal infections. Borax is obviously here more effective than other means. Usually a large gelatine capsule is filled with borax or boric acid and inserted at bedtime. This is repeated every night for up to two weeks. Alternatively, the powder can be mixed with cool, solidified coconut fat to make a pill or suppository. The positive reports on the treatment of vaginal mycosis
are supported by a new study13 .
.
Boric acid (one capsule full) even helped against drug-resistant Candida infections, also against all pathogenic bacteria tested. Because of the high dilution, a rinse or shower is probably not effective enough against bacteria and resistant Candida, but should be sufficient for a normal Candida infection. Borax was more effective than boric acid because of its alkalinity. In healthy people Candida are harmless oval yeast cells. Under unfavourable conditions they form chains of elongated cells (pseudo-hyphae), and finally highly invasive, long, tubular or thread-like cell structures (hyphae).
They damage the intestinal wall and cause inflammation and the so-called "leaky good syndrome".
Here the intestinal wall becomes permeable for microbial products and incompletely digested proteins. Pseudo-hyphae and hyphae are found in the blood of patients suffering from cancer and autoimmune diseases. Candida can also form tough biofilm layers. The same study shows that boric acid or borax inhibit the formation of biofilm, as well as the transformation of harmless yeast cells into invasive hyphae. In previous articles I have described that such processes, mainly triggered by antibiotics, are a fundamental cause of most modern diseases. This makes boric acid and borax essential remedies. But also for many other reasons they cannot be valued highly enough.
.
A scientific opinion in 2011 concluded that "[...] boric acid is a safe and economical alternative for women with recurrent and chronic symptoms of vaginitis when conventional treatments fail. "14
.
If it works so much better than conventional drugs, why not use boric acid as the first drug of choice? Or the even more effective borax? Another study from Turkey15 confirms that boric acid has a protective effect on foods that are contaminated with mould toxins, especially fungal aflatoxins are loaded. Aflatoxin B1, for example, causes severe DNA damage. It is the most powerful carcinogen ever tested and affects the liver and lungs in particular. It is also immunotoxic and causes
Birth defects and deaths in farm animals and humans.
.
Treatment with boric acid resulted in improved resistance of DNA to oxidative damage caused by aflatoxin B1. The strong fungicidal effect of boric acid is of course the reason why it has traditionally been used as a food preservative.
Borax can - similar to Lugol's iodine solution, which is also under attack - be used to remove fluoride and heavy metals accumulated in the body.16
Fluoride is bone-damaging, causes calcification in the pineal gland and leads to hypothyroidism. Borax reacts with fluoride ions to form boron fluorides, which are excreted with the urine. In a Chinese study, borax was tested to treat 31 patients suffering from skeletal fluorosis. During the three-month trial period, the dose was slowly increased from 300 to 1,100 milligrams per day; one week per month was paused. After treatment, improvements of 50 to 80 percent were seen.
.
One forum participant had been suffering from fibromyalgia and rosacea, chronic fatigue syndrome and temporomandibular joint pain for more than ten years. (craniomandibular dysfunction) She suspected fluoride in the cause. She dissolved 1/8 teaspoon of borax and 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in one litre of chlorine-free water and drank the mixture five days a week. Within two weeks her facial skin cleared up, the redness faded and her body temperature normalized. She had more energy again and was able to reduce her overweight steadily. The only side effect was an initial worsening of her rosacea symptoms.
.
Borax can be used to remove fluoride and in the body
accumulated heavy metals are used.
.
Another contribution speaks for itself: "Seven years ago I had thyroid cancer, the next year adrenal gland weakness, then too early entry into menopause, a year later uterus prolapse and removal. The following year, fibromyalgia and neuropathy. As a small child always fluorinated water and fluoride tablets get. In autumn 2008 I was faced with total disability. I could hardly walk, before Pain does not sleep. Vomited every day because of the back pain. ... After reading about fluoride, I realized where my problems were coming from. I started the borax detox with 1/8 teaspoon in a liter of water, and after three days my symptoms were almost gone."
Calcium-magnesium metabolism
.
Calcium and magnesium are antagonists in the human body. At the same time there is also cooperation between them. About half of the body's total magnesium is found in the bones, the other half inside the tissue and organ cells. Only one percent is found in the blood. The kidneys keep the level constant by excreting more or less of it with the urine.
In contrast, 99 percent of the calcium is found in the bones and the rest in the fluid outside the cells. Muscles contract when calcium enters the Cells arrive and relax when it is pumped out again and magnesium takes its place.
This cell pump requires a lot of energy. If cells have too little energy, calcium can accumulate inside. The lack of energy can be caused by Candida, also by a disturbed sugar or fat metabolism, malnutrition, or by the accumulation of metabolic products and toxins. As a result, the muscles cannot relax completely, stiffen and become more prone to cramps.
The blood circulation and the flow of lymph are disturbed. The more calcium from the bones gets into the soft tissue, the worse the problem becomes. Calcium can also accumulate in nerve cells, which leads to disturbances in the transmission of nerve impulses.
It causes cataracts in the lenses of the eyes. Through increasing calcification of the
hormone glands, the hormone secretion is disturbed and all cells are hindered in their functions. Calcification also causes intracellular magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is needed to activate numerous enzymes - the deficiency leads to less efficient or blocked energy production. In addition, excess calcium damages the cell membranes. As a result, nutrients cannot enter the cells properly and waste products of the metabolism cannot be released. be transported out. If the intracellular calcium level becomes too high, the cells die. This is where the importance of boron in regulating cell membrane functions becomes apparent, particularly in the passage of calcium and magnesium. Due to boron deficiency, too much calcium accumulates in the cells and the magnesium cannot get in to replace it. We find this problem and the diseases associated with it mainly in old people.
In young, healthy people, a calcium-magnesium ratio of 2:1 is normal. It is ensured by good nutrition. The older we get, the more magnesium and less calcium we need. In order for boron to have its full effect on tissue decalcification, sufficient magnesium is needed. At For older patients, I recommend 400 to 600 milligrams, taken with the borax dose spread over the day, with additional transdermal magnesium (skin patch) for long-term joint problems. Orally can However, magnesium has a laxative effect, and the dose may have to be adjusted accordingly. I doubt whether supplementation with calcium is necessary and useful - even in osteoporosis. In my opinion, those affected have sufficient calcium stored in the soft tissue where it does not belong. By supplementing with boron and magnesium, the displaced calcium should be relocated to the bones. I regard the concentration of orthodox medicine on high calcium doses as accelerated aging on prescription.
.
What and how much?
.
In some countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the USA borax is still found in the household departments of supermarkets and drugstores. "Food grade"... Borax is not available and not necessary. The label usually identifies the product as 99 percent pure, which is safe for use. This is also the legal standard for use in agriculture. Up to one percent degradation and refinement residues are permitted. If available, boric acid can be used in an amount equivalent to approximately 2/3 of the borax dose.
.
First dissolve a slightly heaped teaspoon of borax (five to six grams) in one liter of chlorine- and fluoride-free drinking water. This is your concentrate.
Pour it into a bottle and keep it out of reach of small children. - Standard dose = about one teaspoon (five millilitres) of the concentrate. It contains 25 to 30 milligrams of borax and provides you with three milligrams of boron. First take one standard dose per day with a meal. If it feels okay, take another dose with another meal. If you do not have any specific health problems, you can take one or two standard doses per day permanently. This amount is also suitable as a maintenance dose. Increase to three or more standard doses if you suffer from diseases such as osteoarthritis or osteoporosis and related problems. The same applies to joint stiffness in old age, if you are currently going through menopause or want to stimulate the production of sex hormones. Take the amount spread over the day. Continue this for several months until you feel that your problems have clearly improved. Then go back to one or two standard doses per day.
If you wish to try the higher doses recommended at http://www.Earthclinic.com for candidiasis treatment and fluoride removal, use the concentrated solution as follows:
- Low dose for slim and normal weight people - 100 milliliters (equivalent to about 1/8 teaspoon of Borax Puler); drink throughout the day. - High dose for heavyweight people - 200 millilitres (about 1/4 teaspoon of borax powder); drink over the
Drink spread out over the day.
.
Always start with the standard dose and slowly increase the dose to the intended amount. take the maximum dose four to five days per Week, for as long as it takes. Borax solution is quite alkaline and has a soapy taste at higher concentrations. With lemon juice, vinegar or ascorbic acid
they can cover it up.
.
Borax and boric acid have been identified in Europe as toxic to reproduction and have been classified in the EU since December 2010 no longer available for free sale. In Switzerland Borax at the moment still available17, shipping to
However, Germany is not permitted. Here you can download it but in smaller quantities (20-50 grams) in pharmacies
as ant poison. Boron tablets (usually containing three milligrams of boron) can be ordered in health food shops or on the Internet. You contain boron in bound form, not in ionic form as with borax or boric acid. For food supplement they are generally suitable, but I do not expect they are effective against candida and mycoplasma, as well little as quick help against arthrosis, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. Most scientific Studies and personal experience refer to borax or boric acid.
To increase the effectiveness, I recommend taking three or more boron tablets spread over the day for a longer period of time, combined with sufficient magnesium and appropriate antimicrobial therapy.18
.
Possible side effects
.
The side effects of pharmaceutical products are usually undesirable, often dangerous. In contrast, natural drugs such as borax are usually healing reactions with beneficial long-term effects. The Herxheimer reaction in the elimination of Candida occurs most frequently. In some of the forum contributions quoted above, rapid improvement within a few days is reported.
This is always a functional response of the body. High calcium levels in the cells often cause painful muscle contractions with
Cramps or convulsions. Boron, especially in combination with magnesium, can bring about rapid muscle relaxation and relieve pain.
.
In the case of long-term, severe calcifications, however, the large amount of calcium cannot be redistributed in a short time. The increased calcium level in the affected areas, especially the hips and shoulders, can cause problems for a long time. Severe cramps and pain as well as circulatory problems and sensations may occur. Nerve disorders in the hands and feet can manifest themselves as numbness or reduced sensitivity of the skin surface. Large amounts of calcium and fluoride must pass through the kidneys and can cause temporary kidney pain. Such healing reactions are unfortunately unavoidable if we want to achieve an overall better state of health.
.
If you notice any unpleasant side effects, reduce the borax dose or stop taking it until the problem subsides. Then slowly increase the dose again. A strongly increased fluid intake with organic
acids such as lemon juice, ascorbic acid and vinegar. Improving the lymphatic flow by trampoline jumping, walking or head-over-heels positions such as standing on your head, hanging and the like is also beneficial.
.
Toxic or not?
The health authorities are concerned about the possible toxicity of boron. If they read the following about sodium chloride (table salt), you are probably also worried.19
"Acute oral toxicity (LD50 - the dose at which
half of the laboratory animals die): 3,000 mg/kg (rat). Chronic effect in humans: Mutagenic to mammalian body cells. Slightly dangerous by skin contact, ingestion or inhalation. Lowest published lethal dose (oral) in humans: 1000 mg / kg. By placental route damaging to the fertility in humans (fetotoxicity, abortion), risk of pregnancy toxicosis in susceptible women. Can cause fertility problems and birth defects in animals, especially rats and mice (fetotoxicity, abortion, musculoskeletal anomalies); in the mother, damage to the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Mutagenicity is possible. Consumption of large quantities can lead to stomach upset with nausea and vomiting. May cause behavioural disorders (muscle spasticity / twitching, somnolence). Impairment of sensory organs, metabolism and cardiovascular system. Continued ingestion may lead to dehydration, organ overload and coma."
.
Compare this with the safety data sheet 20 for borax:
"Low acute oral toxicity; LD50 in rats 4,500-6,000 mg/kg body weight. Reproductive toxicity / fruit damage: Animal studies in rat, mouse and dog show effects on fertility and testicles at high doses. Studies with boric acid in rat, mouse, and rabbit show effects on fetal development, including weight loss and minor skeletal changes, at high doses. The doses administered were several times higher than those to which humans are normally exposed. No evidence of carcinogenicity in mice. In a series of short-term mutagenicity studies, no mutagenic effect was found. Epidemiological studies have not shown an increase in lung diseases in people who are chronically exposed to borax dust
...and no effect on fertility."
.
Table salt is therefore 50 to 100 percent more toxic than borax and changes the genetic material; borax is harmless in this respect. Children are affected by the consumption of high
Borax levels most at risk. It is estimated that five to ten grams can cause severe vomiting and diarrhoea, shock or even death. However, the actual lethal dose is poorly documented in the literature. The following data on poisoning are from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Health Protection Agency
CDC (Centers for Disease Control).21,22
.
A report of 784 cases of poisoning by accidental ingestion of ten to 88 grams of boric acid does not list any deaths. 88 percent of the cases were asymptomatic, so no effect was noticed. However, in some children and adults who ingested more than 84 milligrams of boron per kilogram (equivalent to more than 40 grams of borax at 60 kilograms body weight), effects on the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, liver, kidneys and central nervous system were observed. This resulted in
Skin diseases like dermatitis and erythema. Deaths have also been reported. Reproductive toxicity was shown in animal experiments to be the most sensitive side effect of taking boron. In rats, mice and dogs, doses exceeding 26 milligrams of boron per kilogram caused damage to testicles and spermatozoa after several weeks (equivalent to 15 grams of borax per day at 60 kilograms body weight). The main risk is for foetal development, with rats being the most affected. In one study, a daily dose of 13.7 milligrams of borax per kilogram to a slight reduction in the body weight of the foetus. The safe (ineffective) dose was determined to be less than 13.7 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which corresponds to approximately seven grams of borax per day for 60 kilograms body weight. If we add a safety factor, we get a daily dose of 9.6 milligrams of boron per kilogram as an ineffective dose, i.e. five grams of borax for a body weight of 60 kilograms.
.
However, a study with rats over three generations showed no reproductive toxicity (neither in the parent animals nor in the offspring) at a daily dose of 30 milligrams of boron per kilogram. At 60 kilograms body weight, the dose corresponds to 17 grams of borax per day, taken over three generations! In a further study over three generations, 17.5 milligrams of boron per kilogram per day did not cause any problems (corresponds to nine grams of borax at 60 kilogram weight). However, the next higher tested dose of 58.5 milligrams per kilogram (30 grams of borax at 60 kilograms) led to infertility. We can therefore assume that the dose that is toxic for reproduction can be up to about 20 grams per day for a body weight of 60 kilograms. Human studies have not shown any evidence of possible impairment of fertility by borax. The study included people employed in the mining and processing of boron and a part of the Turkish population exposed to high boron levels in drinking water and soil. is. One study even reports increased fertility (compared to the US average) among workers in borax production. These are important findings. The possible damage to the fertility and the foetus in the womb (summarised as reproductive toxicity) is in fact the official
Reason for the current push against Borax.
The safety data sheet for sodium chloride quoted above also states
"Sodium chloride is used in some reproductive studies to demonstrate that no effect occurs (negative control agent). However, it was also shown by way of example that almost any chemical in animal experiments can cause fruit damage if the conditions of the study are designed accordingly".
Keep this in mind when you read the following.
.
The attack on Borax
Approximately 30 percent of the population of western countries suffers from arthritis and osteoarthritis in its various forms, as well as the related osteoporosis, which is responsible for more long-term hospital stays than any other disease.
Hip fractures in particular take a long time to heal. For the medical and pharmaceutical industry, this represents a significant source of income. If the healing approach with boron and magnesium became known to a broad public, this source could dry up and the system would collapse. Because it is the world's largest and the most profitable industry in the world, this must not happen.
.
When Dr. Newnham discovered his osteoarthritis treatment, this was not a big problem for the drug manufacturers at first. News spread were slow and easily suppressed. Today, the situation has changed fundamentally due to the Internet. The pharmaceutical industry finances a large part of research. So far, there have been no efforts from this side to reproduce Dr. Newnham's results or other positive studies. Instead, funds are being spent on the development of patentable boron drugs
with limited applications, e.g. in chemotherapy - or in research to discredit boron For example, a test-tube experiment
that a relatively low borax dose of four grams can damage lymphocytes. An earlier study showed that vitamin C supplements are toxic for the lymphocytes. are. Most positive borax studies today come from China, Japan and Turkey.
PubMed is a publicly funded database of biomedical research publications. Other articles from Newnham, R. E and Zhou, L. Y. are published there are still listed, but the two important studies mentioned above (on the arthrosis study at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the borax treatment of Human studies did not reveal any indications of possible adverse effects
fertility through borax. But they belong in the database and were apparently originally listed here. I suspect that they were deliberately removed so that they cannot be cited in other works. In addition, more and more energy is being invested to publicly demonize Borax for its alleged reproductive toxicity.
For example I read
recently published an article by a "senior scientist" of the "green" Environmental Working Group, a US environmental organisation. In it, the alleged dangers of borax were exaggerated to such an extent that most of the reader's comments at the end were something like: "Thank you for opening my eyes. I didn't know how toxic and dangerous borax was, and I will certainly not use it again when washing or when I clean my kitchen and toilet."
.
This is obviously a targeted campaign to make the ban on borax appear to the public as a charitable act. Borax has now been replaced by a substitute in cleaning and washing products. The EU has started the campaign: In June 2010, borax and boric acid were classified as "reproduction toxic category 2". This means that they are considered to be teratogenic and toxic for reproduction in high doses. On the packaging, the poison warning symbol
(skull with crossed bones) be imprinted.
Since December 2010, the substances are no longer available on the market in the EU. The classification is now valid for the whole of Europe - non-EU countries, however, still have some leeway in selling. The initiative is part of the GHS (Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals), which is to be implemented outside Europe as soon as possible. Australia is already well advanced in the implementation of the GHS for industrial chemicals; new regulations are expected before the end of 2012.23 The European Chemicals Agency ECHA gave the following reason for the reclassification of boron products (paraphrased): "The available data do not show any significant
Differences between laboratory animals and humans.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that the effects observed in animals could also occur in humans. Epidemiological studies in humans are not sufficient to identify harmful to exclude effects of inorganic borates on fertility. 17.5 milligrams of boron per kilogram per day was measured as NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for the fertility of male and female animals. In rats, a reduced foetal weight occurred at 13.5 milligrams of boron per kilogram per day. A safe upper limit of 9.6 milligrams per kilogram per day was established. "24
.
What they really mean by that:
"For humans we have no data. Animal experiments suggest that the consumption of about two teaspoons of borax a day can reduce the reproductive capacity of the animals. is not endangered in humans. But to be absolutely certain that no one will be harmed, we are banning it completely." It is important to note that the decision does not refer to borax in foods or food supplements, where it is already prohibited. It only concerns... the general use e.g. in cleaning and washing agents or as insecticide. Because borax is not easily inhaled or absorbed through skin contact, it is difficult to imagine how even a few milligrams per day should enter the body during normal use. If the same standard were applied to all chemicals, none would be left.
.
The basic study for the classification was published in 1972. Why is it being dug up now to justify the ban on borax?
No one has been interested in it for the last 40 years. Scientifically, this makes no sense, especially since the borax substitute consists mainly of sodium percarbonate, which is three times more toxic than borax (acute oral LD50 values for animals range from 1,034 to 2,200 milligrams per kilogram per day).25 Even the commonly used sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is almost twice as toxic as borax (LD50 at 3,360 milligrams per kilogram).26 In the high doses,
which cause fertility problems in rats and mice, both chemicals have not yet been tested for their long-term reproductive toxicity. The same applies to washing powders, where it is stated that toxicity is not to be expected when used properly
or that no tests for reproductive toxicity have been carried out.
Some ingredients of these products are more toxic than borax. Why can they be used but not borax? And what about really dangerous substances like caustic soda and hydrochloric acid? Why do they remain on the market, and one of the safest household chemicals is banned, even though it is absolutely impossible to do any harm to human reproductive capacity when used properly? Despite the lack of scientific evidence, everything is now in place to remove borax and boric acid from the global market in the short term. Even the low-dose and less effective boron tablets are strictly monitored by the pharmaceutical industry. Their sale can be restricted at any time by regulations in the Codex Alimentarius.
In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has brought all the dangers posed by borax under control and secured its profits and survival.
