Maybe 10 years ago I discovered Borax on this site for detoxing metals. An unexpected side effect was my TMJ disappeared within the first week. I'm surprised that after 10 years, I still don't see TMJ listed as something else borax cures, so I'm adding it here myself! TMJ is basically untreatable through conventional methods so to be able to open my mouth fully again with no pain or even tightness is a miracle to me! I hope others will find relief too.

I follow Ted's Borax protocol of 1/8 tsp in 1 liter of distilled water 5 days a week for 4 weeks. I've had to repeat the protocol a few times over 10 years.

Hi,

Could you please post the link to the exact borax product you take? There are lots of people for who borax does not work and I think it is because of the quality or lack of quality of the borax used.

I also think when somebody takes something and works they should post the exact link, product, brand that they took/take since products are NOT the same.

For example, let's take coconut oil, there are lots of low quality coconut oil on the market that will NOT work to heal anything. When something works, posting the brand/product AND dosages should be mandatory IMHO.

Thank you

EC: The majority of people in the USA who post about borax are referring to Twenty Mule Team Borax. They don't post product names on Earth Clinic because it's generally not allowed unless you've been a regular contributor for a few years. Our policy since 2004.

Agreed. Earth Clinic needs to allow people to name brands etc.

Dear Kimmy,

I disagree.

Earth Clinic is a very valuable site and has been around a long time. There are very good reasons not to let just anyone post product names, primarily to protect Earth Clinic visitors!

Other health sites (that I actually rarely bother to use) have a more lenient approach and end up with lots of sketchy and scammy posts - you can tell.

It is way too easy for predators to be posting their own stuff for their own interests. Earth Clinic obviously screens out this junk.

Just this week I learned that some friends that had been taking an imported supplement for pain that was supposed to be just herbs was found to actually contain ibuprofen and steroids! Honest people have been duped and it is easy for this to happen.

A site with high standards is a blessing in this day and age.

All Borax is the same, from the two mines in the world, America (20 mule) or turkey. Just check it is pure with nothing added. One of the best things out there, everyone should be eating it. A bath is a waste. Keep it stocked for your grandkids. My kids also have it and they have no cavities, strong bones, no fungus, we all wash our hair with it and have a pinch to eat now and then with magnesium chloride and magnesium sulphate. Has fixed many problems. Listen to your body, learn to listen and use your own head.

Now that you mention it, my TMJ is gone! It was subtle to begin with, but came on suddenly during all the covid bs stress. So for a couple of years, it's been annoying me on and off. I've been taking boron for fluoride detox for a few weeks, but not consistently, and I've not had the TMJ! I didn't realize this until I read your testimonial, so it can be added to the list of benefits!
