Detoxification

I tried Borax for the first time last summer. I had a normal detox reaction, I was so toxic as I had not detox in many months. It really did work. I felt like I had the flu for about 3 days and then it subsided. I like the idea of being able to detox without spending a fortune. This is good for those with limited income. A whole box will last a very long time. I also use it as a hair rinse and in my clothes. It can also be given to a dog or cat to detox as their food is not perfectly pure either and they breathe the same air we do. I also like to take activated charcoal along with Borax. If, after taking Borax, you break out, it is just toxins coming out through your skin. Keep detoxing, you will be so glad you did!

I have been detoxing for 3 years, after discovering a load of heavy metals, microbes and radiation poisons that almost ended my incarnation this time round.
Recently I have discovered heavy calcification that occurs due to microwave radiation exposure (cell, wifi, wireless phones, 5G, etc., ovens, smart meters ... you get the idea.) The voltage gated calcium channels are affected by frequencies in this range and this can increase the intake of calcium into our cells by 7000 times! Check out this interview of Dr. Martin Pall by Mercola:

What to do? Get the calcium out! Recently I have tuned into Tony Pantalleresco, a Canadian herbalist. He has many Youtube videos, including this one:

And also has "recipes" on his website, mentioned in the youtube videos.
His recipes and protocols are the best! Borax is right up there in his recommended list, along with sodium thiosulfate, iodine and other easily procurable items. His youtube channel:

Good luck detoxing.

I have used Borax in my laundry for years but never dreamed it could be used for so many other things. I have started soaking in really hot water, as hot as I can stand, with about a cup of Borax and a cup of Epsom Salt... sometimes 1 1/2 cups each. My reasoning behind this was to detox, right now I cannot wrap my head around ingesting Borax... I have IBS and toxins tend to build rather quickly in me, but let me tell you... the next day WOW! Let me just say, it has been a very long time since I have felt this empty. Oh and my skin is so soft.

I'm glad I found your post about breaking out. Every time I try using the borax at 1/8 tsp in 1 liter of water (sipped throughout the day), 5 days on, 2 days off--I end up with boils and "pimples".
The first round I got a big blueberry sized boil on my chin. Took over a month for it to go away and was embarrassing! I stopped drinking the borax and waited until the boil was gone. I also got small ones on my behind and a bunch of small ones on my scalp.
Second time, I got just a few medium and small ones.
Three weeks ago, I did another week of borax drink and developed 5 small hard pimples (never came to a head though) next to my mouth on one said and 3 on the other side. They are still not gone going into week 4 even though I have not used the borax since that first week. I know boils take weeks to clear up so I'm just waiting. Scalp had a lot again and some small ones in my inner thigh and behind. I take a break when I get them and don't start again until they heal.
I was wondering if this is part of healing. I believe I have staph infection becauce I've been getting folliculitis for the past 3 years. So I assumed this might be the staph purging. I am going to keep doing on this until I can do two weeks in a row without an outbreak. Then try for 3 weeks and so on. Then get up to a month without reaction and taper back off.

Hello Lynn, I wanted to let you know I have had similar experience. I'm doing same 1/4 tsp in 1 litre water starting only the past three months ( lots of pimples mostly on scalp) They never come to a head. Just bumps that can get quite large and sore sometimes so I have quit a few times and wait until they go away. The reason I tried borax was for arthritic pain and it worked really well.
