I have severe osteoporosis and was put on an anti-inflammatory. Within 3 months, my kidney function dropped to 40% and a friend showed me how to make Turmeric Golden Paste. I did feel the difference, however I lagged making my second batch until the pain was unbearable.
On 1/4 teaspoon morning and evening, I still had a lot of pain. So, the doctor prescribed Celebrex and it helps a lot. However, I also want to take the Golden Paste.
Any advice?
Thank you,

Borax
You're welcome!
Imo, boron is an excellent choice and would be near the top of my list. Plenty of studies to support your use of it for bone health and it can also help as an arthritis preventative or treatment based on minimal studies and very significant anecdotal evidence. Your regimen looks good to me and if you want or need to add more I can make suggestions, but definitely yes to boron and hopefully your research confirms melatonin for you.

Actually I have written about osteoporosis on EC. Here is a link to what I wrote regarding osteoporosis and melatonin :
The current studies continue to show how melatonin is useful for osteopenia, osteoporosis, helping to heal fractures and bone health in general. Here is a typical recent study :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9585202/
Here is a relevant study quote :
' Serum melatonin is related to bone mass, the measurement of which is a potential method for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Melatonin has a direct effect on bone remodeling by promoting osteogenesis and suppressing osteoclastogenesis. Melatonin also regulates the biological rhythm of bone tissue, which benefits its osteogenic effect. Additionally, melatonin participates in the modulation of the bone microenvironment. Melatonin attenuates the damage induced by oxidative stress and inflammation on osteoblasts and prevents osteolysis from reactive oxygen species and inflammatory factors. As an alternative drug for osteoporosis, melatonin can improve the gut ecology, remodel microbiota composition, regulate substance absorption and maintain metabolic balance, all of which are beneficial to the health of bone structure. In conclusion, our review systematically demonstrates the effects of melatonin on bone metabolism. Based on the evidence in this review, melatonin will play a more important role in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. '
There are many other options when it comes to osteoporosis and melatonin is only one, but studies show that it is a very good one.
I have seen at least 12 supplements that have shown benefit for osteoporosis.
In the link to melatonin and osteoporosis, read the significant side effects for the current osteoporosis medications called bisphosphonates. In this area of potential side effects, supplemental options seem to be very significantly better.

But, I am here on this thread because I was diagnosed yesterday after a bone-density scan, I have Osteoporosis. First time I ever had a scan so I just have a feeling I will already have started rebuilding bone as I workout at a gym (weight training) and love my walks almost daily. I was of course offered drugs but turned them down and asked about supplements/alternatives. I eat only ketogenic foods I cook myself, no restaurants, and I take magnesium l-threonate but think I'll continue with my citrate, but was also listening about Mag. Chloride, feedback welcome as always.
Also on D3, and very interested in the boron supplements. First I'd like to ask if the C that was recommended by my doctor, and if the Amla I bought awhile back but didn't take would be as good as C for my Osteo? Second, do you have any other recommends/suggestions for the Osteo? I always respect and like to read your info but I didn't see a specific post of yours on Osteoporosis although I see you replied here.
Thanks Art and I so hope you see this, thanks much, Denise

I once heard a doctor, lecturing on nutrition, state that the hydrochloric acid [HCl] of the stomach was so valuable that the sale of every antacid preparation should be prohibited by law. Too little HCl impairs protein digestion and Vitamin C absorption, allows the B vitamins to be destroyed, and prevents minerals from reaching the blood to the extent that anemia can develop and bones crumble.
There is much of interest here, and it is backed up with references to medical research. One para from the chapter on bone problems:
Normally the hydrochloric acid [HCl] in the stomach dissolves the calcium supplied by foods and holds it in solution until it can be absorbed through the intestinal walls. Sugar and other sweets, however, stimulate the production of alkaline digestive juices so rapidly that calcium becomes insoluble before it can reach the blood.
The chapter on bones in this book is long. The book was published about 50 or so years ago and I imagine there is new info available, but what is there, most of it makes sense to me.

More and more research has shown that it's caused by a Vitamin C deficiency, not a need for calcium. It's scurvy of the bone, which makes a lot more sense. Hope that helps! Blessings sent your way. 🐾😎

While many people seem to be helped with the addition of calcium, I was not. How I found out my Osteopenia had progressed to Osteoporosis is that I tripped on an electrical cord and fell and had to have an x ray on the bone just below my left knee and found I had a fracture. The Dr. put me in a soft cast and on 600mg of Calcium a day (as well as having to use crutches). Next, to make a long story short...with a few weeks later after taking my 600mg of Calcium a day, I woke up in the middle of the night screaming in pain if I moved my left leg even a few inches and the top of my left knee had swollen to the size of an oversized baseball. Long story short....I ended up in the ER room and had to have the left knee drained of the fluid with a very long needle into the knee...not fun I can assure you! To make matters worse, I was now on crutches and the same thing happened in my right knee and had to go thru the same ER room needle draining process again.....only to finally find out I had Pseudo gout brought on by taking too much calcium. At least draining the fluids did stop the pain and so did the meds the Dr. gave me, but I wanted to know how to heal the fractured bone below my left knee in as short a time as possible as well as what I could take to help my pre Op.
This horrific experience led me to be finally diagnosed a few months later with Osteoporosis. My Dr then wanted to start me on meds for the Op that I'd read were for many led to long term worse problems. All this led me to do my own online research on research. One of the web sites I read that helped me find what ended up helping reverse my Op was a google search for "the bone lady blog" If you have Op or the pre Op, I'd suggest you read it and see if it will be a help to you too.
On that web site(on google look for "the bone lady blog") I read about the long term problems associated with the meds that are regularly given for Op and about another treatment with taking Strontium that had been used in Europe and what women were now taking that had successfully revered Op in a number of women. I decided to try the Strontium and my Dr. agreed to hold off on his demands that I take various drugs until we could see if the Strontium did indeed work for me. I started to Strontium II by AOR that I bought on Amazon. I took 2 caps daily for 6 months when my Dr. had xrays and DEXA scans rerun on me and he felt that the Strontium was working well for me and was stopping the progression of the Op and as of my last DEXA scan, of the 3 scanned locations, 1 location has totally reversed the OP, 1 has stopped making any progress at all the the 3rd is neutral.
So I suggest to you if you have pre Op or Full blown Osteoporosis is I did/do....I'd suggest you at least read this research and see if Strontium is something you that you'd like to try to see if it will help you as it's helped me. I'm 77 and am still reasonably active for a person of my age and the only pain meds I take is 2 Tart Cherry caps a day to make sure I keep at bay the pseudo gout that I came down with when I got my leg fracture from eating too much Calcium and 2 Strontium caps a day. I've learned and now I try hard to consume no calcium at all. I hope that info helps someone as much as it's helped me!
I believe we CANNOT rely on this study, as this is one of those studies that cannot be replicated. Some of the issues are as follows: The authors of this study failed to disclose their volunteers' average age, lifestyles and diets. Stating they were between 18 and 65 is not enough. Stating some of them were smokers and drinkers is not enough. Stating that some of them ate a phytate-rich diet is not enough.
I believe we can safely assume the typical volunteer was a college student who didn't give a fiddlers' fig about osteoporosis; they smoked all they could, drank as much as they could, were on recreational drugs some of the time, and ate the cheapest, crappiest, pro-osteoporosis diet.
If, indeed, this was the case, then, naturally, the more phytate-rich diet they ate, the less of that unhealthy crap was absorbed, therefore it sounds believable that those phytates (i.e. anti-nutrients) did indeed slow down their osteoporoses.
However, I also believe it would be a mistake, if we applied the results of this study to postmenopausal women whose lifestyles are different; they worry a lot about becoming predisposed to fractures, therefore do whatever they can to slow down and cure their osteoporoses.

Updated link from yours about strontium.
Ascorbic Acid
Also, don't forget that supplementing with vitamin C (ascorbic acid or an ascorbate) depletes copper levels in the body. Copper is needed for vitamin C metabolism so it gets used up. Make sure to either supplement copper, or eat a copper rich diet. Copper is also a trace mineral needed for bone health.
Ascorbic Acid
Hello!
I have a concern regarding high dose Ascorbic Acid. I have been taking high dose close to bowel tolerance for several years. A recent DexaScan shows osteoporosis and I am wondering if the Ascorbic Acid could be causing too much acidity thus contributing to the osteoporosis. I am getting mixed answers since some people don't believe that the ascorbic acid does cause acidity. I see many benefits by taking around 12-16 grams of ascorbic most days and would like to continue.
I am now including borax and drinking home made bone broth with collagen daily and I make my own natto for K-2, as well as taking a Super K blend. I take around 800mg of magnesium and D3, A, and many other vitamins. Just today started with Bone Up by Jarrow.
But I am mostly interested in whether the ascorbic acid could be counter alkalizing, as I am learning that a more alkaline diet is best for osteoporosis. I would appreciate the wisdom of the group!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Cactus Nopal Powder
★★★★★
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my 30s, apparently due to lack of sunlight/vitamin D.
After a lot of research, I discovered a group of scientists had made a study on calcium found in nopal cactus powder.
I'm going to add a link to the article, I hope it's not a problem. They don't sell anything and neither do I.
I've been taking about 15 grams of nopal cactus powder every day with no side-effects.
I bought dry nopal powder, it had no other ingredients, if you can't find it, you might get some results with the capsule form of the powdered nopal.
So, I poured one spoonful of the powder in 3 cups of water, added salt and powdered onion, and let it boil for a few minutes. I would drink about half of the "soup" after meals, I didn't drink all of it on a single day because I felt it was too much.
You can of course adjust the amount of powder/water you consume.
Unfortunately during the pandemic, I no longer went to see if my bone density had improved. If I ever find out again, I'll let you all know.

Borax
Ted's borax remedy for arthritis calls for 1/8th teaspoon of borax per day mixed in a quart of water for women and sipped throughout the day until finished. Make a new bottle each day and repeat for 4 days per week with 3 days off. Double this dose for men. A quarter teaspoon is equivalent to about 985 mg of borax.
Borax is 11.3% boron. So 11.3% or .113 x 985 =111.305 or approximately 111 mg of boron in the borax dose for men. In order to find out how much boron is in the dose for women, we divide 111 by 2 and get 55.5. So the women's dose that Ted was recommending contains approximately 55 mg of boron and is to be taken 4 days of the week with 3 days off per week.
I take my borax doses on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I take Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. This is in line with Ted's recommended dose.
I should also mention here that Ted did not discover this purpose for borax, but Rather a Dr. Rex Newnham discovered it decades earlier, and he used both borax and boron, but at significantly lower dosing than Ted had recommended many years later. Here is some background on Dr. Newnham :

I would like to add that borax has kept my severe psoriatic arthritis in remission for about 13 years now.

Your health will improve overall.
250mg magnesium am and pm at the least. mag citrate or mag oil if you are a constipated type... mag malate if you a more runny stool type.
Magnesium oil..5 to 6 drops is about 250mg. you add this to water and drink. To make magnesium oil...buy magnesium flakes, from vitamin store co op or online. 60% flakes in a mason jar 40% water. Let sit about 1/2 hour, cap and shake. You can now use this topically. It will probably sting until you get your levels up. So I mix it with lotion or add more water or put a layer of castor oil on first. The beauty of castor oil is it helps the body "see" the problem to send help to the afflicted place. Once your levels of magnesium rise overall it will not sting.
Mycoplasma as a cause of arthritis. Ted discusses this throughout his chapters. Search in earth clinic "ted bangkok arthritis mycoplasma" It will offer you many of the remedies and helps for this.
My favorite remedy for pain and general health is a good soak. Either foot or in the tub. My tub recipe..1cup borax, 2 cup epsom, 1cup hydrogen peroxide to oxygenate the body, 1 capful fish tank dechlorinator, this removes chlorine from the tub as not to create chlorine steam, very bad for the heart. You can add essential oil for scent but stir water well they can burn if left on the surface. 1/2 the ingredients for foot soak.

Borax
The Borax protocol has a twofold effect. One, Borax kills mycoplasma infection which are a common cause of bone disease, two, Borax supplies a small amount of Boron needed for bones. Do this proto for as long as you get benefit.
Other methods of treating infections in bones is either Turpentine or Serrapetase or Nattokinase which burst the protective biofilms that prevent meds from working. Infections accumulate in the joints and spread to bones all over so using Magnet Therapy and Zapping is a very effective way of eliminating infections. And after using either or both these remedies, place medicated patches like Salonpas over the joints or where there is pain.
For all your doing and getting little results, it shows you have way too much inflammation. Search "anti-inflammatory diet". Turmeric, Salmon or Mackeral or Sardines, or Fish or Krill Oil supplement, Pineapple are suggested. A supplement of Bromelain/Quercetin will help with inflammation and boost your energy & longevity.
Cannabis, in the form of Medical Marijuana or Hemp Oil/CBD is helpful in bone diseases. The plant hormone Isoflavone helps bone regeneration.
Two more important bone minerals is Strontium and Manganese, take as directed on labels. Consider replacing your Calcium supplement with a more effective form Calcium Hydroxyapatite or perhaps an Homeopathic formula like Hyland's Cal/Phos 6x.
At 62 yrs, you will need to do cleansing remedies like Heavy Metal Detox, Parasite, Gallbladder, and Colon cleanses, (fund in the "Remedies" section at top page) or the inflammation will continue which disallows healing and favors disease. Also increase antioxidant nutrients in diet and with supplementation. Selenium + Vit-E (full spectrum) + Ubiquinol/CoQ10, plus Grapeseed Extract is excellent. Speaking of antioxidants, Resveratrol is a potent anti-aging and has a particular affinity for bone cell protection/regeneration.

I started taking a supplement, which is calcium from seaweed and strontium together with many other minerals (boron, magnesium..). I also started doing safe exercise daily (walking for half an hour or more). I took collagen and magnesium every single morning and night with a little orange juice and, mostly important, eliminated gluten from my diet. I had already eliminated dairy years before.
This year I had a very high improvement of bone density, my doctor couldn't believe it! I still am taking all this things because I still have osteopenia but my osteoporosis is disappearing slowly and I feel great!
Please look up calcium from seaweed because the body assimilates it properly. The strontium helps and the collagen and magnesium are very very important for strong bones.
Ted's Remedies
Calcium deposits develop in soft tissue where they cause pain and suffering and yet the bones are deprived of calcium making them weak and brittle. Gallium affects these problems and many more in the body. Gallium first safely removes calcium deposits from tissues where they do not belong then gallium re routes the calcium back into the bones helping bones and bone injuries to heal.
Among the other health benefits gallium offers is that it cures arthritic conditions faster than any other substance or drug known. It also acts to control the arthritis for extremely long time. Some people report their arthritis vanishing for up to 2 years after a single application The drug companies would go broke if people knew about gallium!
Gallium is a very potent antiviral, antimycoplasmic and antibacterial, it kills certain types of microorganisms that the immune system is unable to eradicate however it does not bother the good intestinal bacteria. It kills only harmful species such as those causing arthritis, diabetes, hiv, hepatitus, lupus, crohns and many more diseases
In addition gallium is a potent antiinflammatory. If it hurts rub a little gallium on it and the pain will likely go away.

Without knowing which supplements you were taking, how much, and how often, it would be difficult to say.
Keep in mind that the body needs and uses both oxidative and antioxidant systems to keep the body healthy. It's a lot like acid and alkaline buffer systems. The body has and uses both. Health suffers when we knock things out of balance.
And one of the prime times we knock things out of balance is when we're fighting off health threats of one form or another, especially if we get aggressive with the treatments.
Liposomal vitamin C would be a fairly quick fix for scurvy. A good brand taken three times a day on an empty stomach should clear scurvey pretty quickly, if that's what your problem actually was.
Other things may also need to be done to restore health and balance.

Also watch your serum calcium levels. If it is 10.1 or higher, check parathyroid. com site. Often benign parathyroid tumors are the cause of osteoporosis. An easy fix by the right surgeon.
Ted's Remedies
You do this by taking large doses of Magnesium and other minerals with no calcium except from your food for about four months.
He gives you the things to take and also goes into some of the other root causes such as low progesterone and thyroid problems. He emphasized weight bearing exercises also. It is not cheap, but could be a very effective protocol instead of the medicines doctors recommend.
Comfrey
As for bone health, in addition to Calcium & Vit-D, supplying essential nutrients like Vit-K, Manganese, Magnesium, and Silica would be encouraged.
Comfrey
The only treatment for us is calcium with D tablets and calcitriol, a form of Vitamin D3 (prescription). The calcitriol allows the body to use the calcium and not just pass it through. I have personally found calcium citrate to be the most easily absorbed type of calcium and take about 1800-2000 units a day with D as well as calcitriol 1x daily.
I mention this only because we know from regular bones scans that calcium/D will prevent thinning bones even when the body does not handle calcium well. For 'normal' people, calcium/D works even better. We do take the minimum dose necessary (varies for all of us) because too much calcium is also bad.
As I said, I know nothing about comfrey, but there are certainly a lot of good reports on it. However, I wouldn't discount calcium/D, which is available and cheap. My last bone scan showed 8 on a scale of 10 being normal (which was really good for me). My sister's was 10 and she was 60 at the time.

I use a boron supplement to strengthen my bones, 3-9 mg/ day. I also use a fermented cod liver oil for vitamin D3, and a vitamin K2 supplement, which is thought to take calcium out of the arteries where it does harm, and deposit it in the bones and teeth where it is needed. I believe these work best with adequate minerals, like magnesium and potassium. I take Ted's advice and do not take any calcium except what is in the food I eat. I hope your Mother feels better soon.

For many years she had been complaining of pain in the lower abdomen. Scans and clinical examinations showed no problem. She was put on painkillers and she was also put on Vitamin D3 supplements that on testing had become acutely toxic.
Recently a BDM test was prescribed. The report shows her to be acutely osteoporotic with a T score of (-5.7)
He has prescribed Bonista that is a Ranbaxy drug administered in a sub cutaneous injection through the same kind of pen like device as in the case of insulin/diabetes shots. I think its Teriparatide and the popular brand in the US is called Forteo.It is some hormone based therapy to be self administered for 18 months. I have got to know that it does not suit all and may have serious side effects. Don't know if this is true. Am mailing all the details to you simply to give you the complete picture and also to take your opinion regarding the same. She is on high BP medication.
I am giving her SBL's Biochemic salt 'Magnesia Phosphorica' 6x - 4 pellets - four times a day. She is also taking half a cup of freshly extracted juice (unboiled) of Tinospora cordifalia stem as well as leaves (Giloy), a tablespoon juice of fresh Ocimum sanctum - Indian basil (Tulsi) and 1/3rd cup of fresh Aloe Vera gel. And three four curry leaves and some fresh ginger. Besides this she is also taking two tablespoons of Unsulphurated organic Blackstrap Molasses and Brag's organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother. She is a complete vegetarian. Her T score is very low. Is there something that we can do to help her? Also, I wish to know that nothing in the list of what I am giving her could harm her in any way. Would be grateful for your response.

To eat this fruit we should remove the skin, cut it in half, poach it in sugar or honey. We can add it to ice cream , use it as a garnish in mixed fruit salads, make jam and marmalade. The pharmaceutical industry has used the Pepino melon in the cosmetic industry. In some countries, like in South Africa it is considered as an ornamental plant .

* High Blood Pressure -- The current Lipid Theory concerning high levels of cholesterol, which is fully supported by modern medicine and the drugs companies, defines saturated fats as the culprit and blames high LDL and HDL cholesterol as the main cause of coronary heart disease. However, Linus Pauling's Unified Theory defines high cholesterol as merely a symptom of organ and tissue damage -- since both LDL and HDL cholesterol are both known to be essential for organ and tissue repair in the body. So if you have high cholesterol and high blood pressure then this must be an indication of organ or tissue damage elsewhere in the body. And if you are attempting to lower cholesterol only, then you are merely treating the indications or symptoms of this organ/tissue damage problem. Here is a more detailed article which, in easy plain language, describes Linus Pauling's and Matthias Rath's Unified Theory:
Comparing the Lipid Theory with the Unified Theory
Therefore, since I believe the findings of the Unified Theory to originate from honest, independent research, I would look for organ or tissue damage in your body if you have a high cholesterol ratio. Linus Pauling advised, as a cure for high cholesterol, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, high dose Vitamin C (6 to 8 grams in 1 gram dosages throughout the day) and Lysine (6 to 8 grams in 1 gram dosages throughout the day) and proline (500 mgs per day).
Niacin -- not niacinamide -- is better for lowering high cholesterol because niacin gives the flush effect whereas niacinamide does not. Niacin dilates the blood vessels and also has the ability to "unclump" thick blood throughout the body thus safely thinning the blood and allowing blood and nutrients to circulate properly to the body peripherals. Taking at least 500 mgs of niacin two or three times a day at mealtimes will therefore be more helpful to reduce cholesterol(than niacinamide) and will help to reduce blood pressure as well. This is more fully described in these articles, which should give you a better understanding :
Niacin, Coronary Disease and Longevity
* Magnesium Chloride -- in the form of Magnesium Oil -- is the best form of magnesium to supplement for heart/cholesterol problems as described in this article by Mark Sircus:
Avoiding Heart Disease and Strokes
* Heavy Metals can be detoxed using lugol's Iodine(which also detoxes fluorine and bromine) and chlorella. Dr William Kelley --- in his Metabolic Cancer Protocol -- always used alginates found in chlorella because alginate is a very large molecule which binds to heavy metals. Being such a large molecule had the advantage of preventing re-absorbsion and redistribution of the heavy metals from the blood and preventing reabsorption in the colon after expulsion by the liver into the intestines.
* Itchy, dry skin with eczema -- Supplementing kelp or lugols iodine will help the skin. Taking supplements with aloe vera and silicon will also help. It must not be ruled out that the eczema(and other skin problems) could also be due to yeast/fungal problems in the body. This is also further indicated because you appear to have many food sensitivities/allergies. Iodine is also essential for the thyroid to produce a hormone called calcitonin -- which controls bone formation in the body(osteoblasts) and borax is also essential to help balance the hormones as well as helping to control the removal of calcium from bone into the blood(osteoclasts).
* Arthritis and Borax - If you are taking 1 tspn of borax in one liter of water every day then this dose is way to high!! In his article and research paper on arthritis, Rex Newham recommends only 30 mgs borax twice a day. You have been taking one teaspoon of borax - over 4 grams a day!! This is why you have had side-effects.
Ted from Bangkok recommends the following:
1/8 teaspoon (250 mgs approx.) of borax in a liter of water per day. Take this remedy for 5 days only and then stop for 2 days. So, 5 days on the borax water and then 2 days off and you should have no problems with this dose.
Borax
Hi Ted, I'm reaching out to you in desperate need of your advice regarding the Borax protocol. Please allow me to start by giving you a brief overview of my current health condition. I'm a 65 years young woman who lives a conscious lifestyle and works out daily by lifting weights, power walking, and a lot of cardio exercise. Below please find some of the health concerns I'm trying to overcome at this moment.
- High Blood Pressure- which has forced me to take the only allopathic medicine that I'm currently taking Benicar (40mg) along with Amlodipine Besylate (2. 5 mg). I take 1 tablet of each medicine daily in the morning. Besides those two, I use supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Magnesium, Fish Oil, Niacinamide and I take my first urine in the morning. I believe that I developed high blood pressure due to the intolerance for many years to certain foods like dairy, red meats. chicken, sugar, coffee, and preservatives found in canned foods.
- Heavy Metals- A naturopath doctor in NYC told me that I have heavy metals in my body and I think that is the reason why sometimes I feel pain in my knees, elbows, and fingers.
- Eczema- My skin is chronically dry-it itches all the time.
- Postmenopausal osteoporosis.
I learned about the Borax treatment and decided to take it after much research and consideration, first following the mild formula of Dr. Rex Newham (1 tsp / 1 Lt of water) to continue later on with the dose you suggest. I was able to take the mild solution for 2 weeks (Monday through Friday at lunch time) sadly having to stop at the beginning of my 3rd week. On a separate note, I would like to let you know that I practice urine therapy; however, I suspended it during my 2 weeks of treatment.
The first 2 days of my treatment my blood pressure went up for approximately 30 minutes going back to normal eventually. Unfortunately, the second Monday of my treatment my blood pressure went up to 180/70 accompanied with a strange buzz in my head. I monitored my blood pressure constantly that day and it was only after a couple of hours that it went back to normal. I got scared by the reaction so I suspended the treatment all along. I am very sad to have had to stop the Borax treatment because I was starting to feel better. I was hoping to get rid of osteoporosis once and for all and the pain on my knees so that I can start running.
About one week after discontinuing the treatment I had a extremely painful arthritis flare up on my left hand with inflammation, swelling, stiffness that lasted more than ten days. Ted, what should I do to safely continue with the Borax? Do you recommend me to continue with my urine therapy while taking the treatment?
Also what do you recommend to controlled the huge appetite I developed while taking the borax? I look forward to your reply and thank you so much for your commitment to helping others.
Kind regards.
