Effective Ways to Take Borax: Dosage, Usage Tips, and More

It is too caustic (pH is too high), could burn your tongue or intestines if dissolved or swallowed straight. It needs to be diluted to be safe for consumption. I would do as they suggest, 1 teaspoon in a liter of water and only start with a teaspoon of that mixture a day. That will start you off with about 2.35mg of boron per day. Give it a few weeks to see if it is working, before increasing the dose. The smaller the dose to get the results you need, the better off you are. Then you don't have to worry about side effects as much.

I put an eighth teaspoon of dry 20 MT Borax directly into my mouth and leave it there ALL night. It never burns. It doesn't feel like anything. Boric ACID is not Borax, and will probably burn. Please see the MSDS on Borax, available online.

Could someone tell me if borax thins the blood? Thanks in advance I am on a blood thinner that I hate and it seems everything thins the blood. I get awful nose bleeds if I take the wrong supplement.

Hallo Debbie Borax ist keine Blutverdünner, aber im körper mit anderen substanzen in verbindung kommen die Blut verdünnen können . Viele natürliche Planzen, Gemüse und Tee Blut verdünnende eigenschaften besitzsen darum wird es schwerig Blutvernünner dosen richtig einzustellen...!

Hello Debbie Borax is not a blood thinner, but it does come into contact with other substances in the body that can thin the blood. Many natural plants, vegetables and tea have blood thinning properties, which is why it becomes difficult to adjust blood thinner doses correctly...!

Chris,

You can not believe as you wish. I saw it.

Your comment suggests two things. I am being untruthful or I should disguise the results to fit a general parameter.

That is exactly what happened. Fluoride is that profoundly poisoning us. Removal of it is critical for human health. As evidenced by our experience.

It was not intended. She went from unable to function. With her cascade of issues. To finishing school. Working, moved out and is living a normal life. Something we had no hope for.

Years of medical treatment, studies tests, medications. At 19 she could live. At 14 little hope. From, Narcolepsy, PCOS. To No medications, none.

Removal of poisons, that is the real fight of today. Fluoride interferes with every morsel of human health. Glandular function, digestion, bone and connective tissue health, teeth, oral health, hormone levels.

Removal of fluoride, is release from a prison of medical intervention.

If you find that astounding. Two weeks into the fluoride removal will certainly be an eye opener.

She had Narcolepsy, severe acne, psoriasis, dowagers hump. She fell asleep in her swim lane at practice. She had more symptoms than health. She could fill a book.

All our teeth whitened, all on their own. Years of six month appointments at the dentist, unneeded. All the spots from so called tetracycline, gone in one child. She has had since they came in.

Removal of fluoride, alkalinity drinks. My husband was back to work. This because of a blood clot, 2 blown discs, stenosis, gout, arthritis. Unable to do anything. Off vicodin, blood thinners, normalized blood pressure, gout. No medication at all now.

My Alzheimer's/ dementia. Diagnosed a brain tumor, to holes in the brain. Gone. Off antidepressants that were given for pain, Tramadol, hormonal meds. Menopause, vanished, the type that makes you bleed and bleed, deadened emotions, bone pain. Osteoarthritis. Dowagers. Balding.

Our oldest, started with an ulcer when she was born, unending horrible problems, Meniere's, POTS, CFS/MCS. Food allergies that prevented her from going in places that had any tomatoes cooking. Chronically enlarged spleen, all kinds of hormonal issues, body and face acne. Totally disabled. She is also now working and moved out.

There is more, way more.

I believe the accepted numbers of adverse reactions from fluoride when they okayed it for human consumption was 30%. They knew 30% of the population would have serious problems with it. That is not acceptable in any scale I have ever seen for other products. It is industrial waste. Nothing but poison.

Janet,

Thank you for sharing you and your family's experiences with borax.

Could you please share the specifics of how you took it? Dosage and frequency? And for what duration?

Wishing you the best!

She said it BEGAN to be cured.

Marnie,

It was not Ted's recommendation at the start, that I used.

I did not know much, was still learning. I knew water was increasingly becoming more poisonous from the faucet. The 2 days following our water treatments in town, the smell of chlorine from the water was getting stronger.

I purchased a faucet filter thinking I had solved it. The family going for 6 month cleaning at the dentist. Fluoride this, fluoride that. My husband was getting yellowish teeth. The kids, 1 had lifetime tetracycline stains. The youngest's front teeth came in brown. My teeth looked brownish. We were doing all the things, to no avail. It made no sense.

As I was learning about alkalinity Ted brought up fluoride poisoning. So I thought I would add a little borax to water to see if it would help the color problem. I took a glass gallon jug, filled it with filtered tap water added 1/4 tsp if borax. This was the water I used in the kitchen. Had the kids use. I was not functional at the time. Just for making food. Washing vegetables.

By that night, before bed, my PCOS daughter got her first period in 5 years. I cannot express the miracle this was. Monday morning she was going in to start birth control as Metformin was not enough, according to the Dr. That weekend, as I have said many times here, began the healing.

The point of the story is, I did it wrong. I was looking to add a pinch of something. For one benefit. By the following week, we had all begun to use Ted's recommendation, 1/8 tsp for women, 1/4 tsp for men, in 1 liter of water. 4 days out of 7.

We have now switched to a Berkey water filter. Interestingly we did not keep up with the borax at first. Realizing we still needed to after a short time. Fluoride or fluoridated water is in everything you buy. So back to Ted's remedy.

Hi Chris :) Complexity is a useful screen for manipulation especially for "treatments". PCOS isn't so complex. Here it is from Hopkins Medicine. "Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of ((((androgens, male sex hormones)))) that are usually present in women in small amounts. The name polycystic ovary syndrome describes the numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that form in the ovaries. However, some women with this disorder do not have cysts, while some women without the disorder do develop cysts."

So .. . an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts. There are lots of hormones in foods so that could have been a contributing factor? Everyone has different terrain and tolerances. It could be her daughter is super sensitive to hormone imbalances?

Boron also regulates sex hormones. So it is possible for it to correct it quickly, perhaps especially someone who may be overly sensitive to androgenic hormone changes. If she could react to such changes in a bad way, the reaction would be the same in a good way the same day change is implemented. Someone in comments here mentioned they began taking the borax mixture after not having their period due to menopause and experienced " a period from hell" :D

Could be Boron deficiency was a piece of her health puzzle. Considering ... the fertilizers being used actually prevent the plants we eat from absorbing boron at the roots. An apple a day was great because they contained boron and the gut bacteria thrive on the apple skins. Is this still true today? It is very possible modern practices create deficiencies of vital nutrients which causes suffering for many.

I know a few women who suffered with heavy cramping, bleeding & pain every cycle. The would have to take time off work because of it. Two tablespoons a week of blackstrap molasses eliminates all of those horrible effects. Deficiency in minerals? Simple. No more prescription pain killers and days off work suffering.

I had body pain working in physical jobs. I took organic sulfur and the pain I carried around was gone overnight. Pain I carried for a few years which was gradually increasing. Deficiency.

Boron may provide potential benefits for people, including:

• reproduction and development
• metabolizing calcium
• bone formation
• brain function
• metabolizing insulin and sources of energy
• immunity
• steroid hormone function, including vitamin D and estrogen

Boron may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and help regulate systems within the body.

Fluoride causes insulin resistance ( a serious chain reaction imbalance in the body) which is a root cause for all imbalances which are illness pathways when not addressed, even heart disease. Fluoride directly affects the endocrine system. PCOS is an endocrine affliction. All pieces of the puzzle.

On a side note, impact of fluoride & insulin resistance: There is a low ball estimate on what percent of western civilization is insulin resistant. Western diet is heavy on sugar & carbs. Many people have developed it and don't know and are not treated for it and eventually full blown diabetes. Diabetics most often die from CVD; my diabetic dad did. CVD is the leading cause of death in the world; diabetic diagnosed or not. It is absolutely not healthy saturated fat. We become insulin resistant drinking fluoridated water and from too much fructose & carbs which is in all the foods & beverages manufactured. Especially "snack well" type foods marketed as weight loss, diabetic/ heart healthy "fat free".

From Pub Med Central:
"Polycystic ovaries, chronic anovulation, and (((hyperandrogenism)))) are the distinctive characteristics of PCOS and with the existence of (((((insulin resistance))))), hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and dyslipidemia are responsible for long-term serious outcomes such as endometrial hyperplasia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease (4).

I'm so happy to read her daughter experienced immediate results. Wonderful! :)

Wow Janet. I've just read your reply. It's given me some hope. I've had 'fibromyalgia' for over 30 years. Tried to cure it myself with an A4 page size of expensive treatments. Dr's have been totally useless abusive and damaging. I feel like I'm being eaten alive by pain. Tramadol levothyroxine pregabolin and steroids!!! But all have stopped working well. Although if I try to stop I just don't want to be here any more. I was gonna give borax a go anyway, but your answer has given me more hope. Wishing you the best.

Ps I'm not technically minded so may not find you here again but. Thanks. I'm gonna try it.

Hello, I first heard about taking borax from my older brother. I have type 2 diabetes, digestion issues, anxiety and depression and acid reflux and high cholesterol and sinus tachycardia and abnormal kidney function. (yes I have quite a few health issues) I take meds for all these issues except the kidney function as I just learned that my kidney function is abnormal and I'm being referred to kidney specialist. My brother suggested taking a pinch of Borax and adding it to a bottle (16.9 Fl Oz) of purified or distilled water.. can you tell me if a pinch would work? And does the borax need to dissolve in the water before drinking? Any info would help, thank you! God bless🙏🏼

Randall,

I used to take my borax mixed in Gatorade and could not taste it, but I stopped that because it seemed like a lot of sugar. I found if I just added some Gatorade to my borax and water mix, that was enough to hide any borax flavor and then it was not too much sugar.

Btw, how long have you been taking borax and have you noticed any benefit yet? I noticed benefit in less than a month, but I always suggest giving it two months for a fair trial.

Then dilute it, it doesn't taste that strong I am a woman elderly and I take a 1/4 tsp in distilled water daily, and off on weekends. Mamm it's the smell not the taste, unless you're using more than what is recommended. Do you know what a 1/8 th tsp is? Just wondering, just decrease the amount.

The dose gives 113 mg of boron. I read in literature that max daily dose is 20 mg. So is 113 mg, aka 1/4 teaspoon too much?

I think the "upper" limits found in some studies are done to mislead the public. I've seen a study on rats where they dosed 3mg/kg (per day). That's an equivalent of 240mg per day for a 80kg human and another study on pigs where it was 15mg/kg per day so 1200mg (1.2g) per day of Boron (so ~9x more Borax for eg.). I think a 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of Borax (roughly 100-200mg Boron) is fine if not on the low side for acute symptoms. Apparently 'back in the day' an apple could contain 20mg Boron so that's another perspective.

mark,

I have taken the 1/4 teaspoon dose each day for 4 days per week for well over a decade and it has worked very effectively to keep my arthritis in remission. Look up the toxicity of Borax and then look up the toxicity of table salt and that will give you a better idea of the safety profile of Borax.

Is the 1/4 tsp supposed to be heaped or level?

I know of several now that put the powder in capsules, and seem to be working. Have you tried this? I guess we should take it with food or right after eating so it is less caustic?? I cannot stand drinking the fishy tasting Borax water all day long anymore! I need at least 1/2 tsp to keep my night sweats and hot flashes in check (I am also doing special Maca, and other dietary stuff that I have been fined tuned for years).

Level. All such measurements are level.

Hi Andy,

I have always used a level full 1/4 measuring teaspoon of borax to excellent effect.
