I haven't found anything online, and couldn't get into Ted's remedies yet, so couldn't check there. I am trying to find out if drinking Borax solution (for women the 1/8 tsp in a liter of water) would interfere with other supplements? I take magnesium, calcium, black seed oil, D3, and B-complex. Thank you much:)

I looked at a list of 15 foods that have calcium in the link below Teena. I only eat 4 of the 15. Now I could "learn" to eat Tofu and a couple of the other things, but it makes me think a 100 mg tablet of Calcium isn't going to hurt me. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/15-calcium-rich-foods#section16 I could be wrong but without milk, cheese and yogurt for example (which I can't eat, at least until I overcome my acid reflux) I don't think I get even close to a daily RDA. I do eat real butter, but not a lot, just on toast usually. So going back to the borax which is my interest in asking the question, the Lugols Iodine is not something I use at all. I think I get enough in my Seasalt, Lima beans (baby are my fave and when I finish off what I've frozen in jars, I make another pot) eggs, tuna, and cod when I can get it. So that makes me wonder about the Borax and some of my fave foods, which, contain iodine? Unless Lugols (the brand) has something to do with it.

Hello Charity,

Where did I read but to take borax and LI together? Earth Clinic. But not from Ted, I believe it was much respected Bill (apologies if I am wrong) who replied to a post asking about how one can do different protocols at once. I didn't find that particular post, and in fact Ted posts show a few posts where he has asked about both remedies, he never posted a warning. But it makes sense to me, if borax can detox fluoride, bromine, it can likely displace another halide, iodine. So I stopped using borax and only use Iodine. I did find this link, however, with borax referenced as antidote to iodine at bottom of this page. I am interested in others thoughts also.

Rsw, I don't understand, both borax and iodine have antioxidant activity. Art

Hi Art,

I have tried to find the comment from Bill but haven't been successful. I researched what you are saying, and it seems to be correct, although I did see reference to iodine as a possible oxident in some cases(?), which I did not understand. I have also read that taking small amounts of iodine can leave the body in a state of inflammation, so I have backed off taking it for now, until I get a better understanding of how it works. My latest thyroid test had an inflated TSH value which I read on the Stop the Thyroid Madness site can be caused iodine, and is harmless. Since I take the LDN, I thought perhaps my thyroid was normalized and had not been taking any natural thyroid meds regularly, just iodine occasionally, but have stopped the iodine and now take a low dose of Armour. Currently trying the Remag/Remyte solutions to try to build bone mass, along with D/K2. Thinking about adding ashwagandha for sleep, but think I read some reason that I should NOT take it, but can't remember why. Thank you for your always insightful comments and your willingness to share all that you have researched with everyone to help us find solutions to health questions and problems. Not many people have your research skills and tenacity to find answers!

I am curious, so I inquire. Thank you for the information. I use iodine after my morning shower but I know the Chlorine in the shower is a halide that gets into the iodine ports before the iodine I use. Then late in the day I use borax as a foot soak. Love, Charity

I have a pdf that I use quite often to identify anti-oxidants that may interfere with MMS. If I could attach files here, I would, but many of us over at the following link post it regularly. Hope it is helpful.

Sorry all, link provided. Click here.

Rsw, thank you for your reply, as I was unable to find the post to which I read. I know vitamin c, as is clove, are powerful antioxidanst, clove more so, vitamin c + lugol's iodine = dha, superantioxidant. Hydrogen Peroxide, I believe, is an oxidant, and as such I have not used it, but have it just in case.
