The borax dosages that EC quoted from Ted are quite correct. Also bear in mind that borax has the same toxicity profile as common table salt. When you take the male dose of 250 mgs of borax(1/4 tspn) you are only actually ingesting about 113 mgs of boron -- and the woman's borax dosage(1/8 tspn) is ony about 55 mgs of boron.
To further help you to understand the dosages, usefulness and importance of Borax for our bodies, you should watch this video:
The Boron and Borax Miracle (Dr Jorge Flechas)
I've also been using Ted's male Borax Water dosages on a regular basis for about the last 11 years (since 2007) without any problems at all -- and I'm 68 y o.

Bill I would suggest your numbers of boron are off here. Borax has a mass of 1.73mg/cm3 and is 11.36% boron. 1 tspn holds 4.98cm/3. So 1.73mg/cm3 x 4.98cm/3 x 11.36%boron works out to be 979 mgs of boron per teaspoon full of borax. 1/8 tsp or 0.125 tspn x 979 mgs of boron/tspn works out to be 122 mgs of boron. 1/4 tspn would be 244 mgs/boron. Seems to be fairly high amounts considering some are thinking the 1/8 tspn is only 20 mgs of boron and 1/4 tspn is 40 mgs/boron. Correct me if you think my math is off here.

Hi Bern,
I just used this Borax form to calculate the amount of Boron per dose:
Borax Na2B4O7
Sodium content = 22.99 x 2 = 45.98 (Atomic Mass X 2) etc.
Boron content= 10.81 x 4 = 43.24
Oxygen content = 16.00 x 7 = 112.00
Molar Mass of Borax = 201.22 (I'm calculating the molar mass from the anhydrous form of borax since the water in the decahydrate and pentahydrate forms become irrelevant whenever borax is dissolved in water)
So the % Boron in 1 mole of Borax = 43.24 / 201.22 * 100 = 21.49%
That means that 1/4 teaspoon(=1000mgs) of Borax will contain 21.49/100 X 1000 = 214.9mgs of Borax.
And 1/8 teaspoon(500mgs) of Borax will contain 21.49/100 x 500 = 107.45mgs of Borax.
So, as you can see, these amounts are fairly high doses of borax, which is why -- if you are following Ted's Borax Water protocol -- you would make sure to drink the one liter of water + borax throughout the day and take this remedy on a 4 days on and 3 days off basis.
Dr Rex Newnham -- the Aussie researcher who actually discovered and used borax to cure his own and other peoples serious arthritis problems only took 30 mgs of borax twice a day for a total of 60mgs borax per day everyday. He also admits that he was effectively taking only about 6 mgs boron per day. But even that small dose was enough to completely cure the serious arthritis problem he had in his hands in only three weeks.
You can also try Walter Last's more dilute and gentle Daily Borax Protocol if you prefer.

I need to correct two errors from my last post on this thread, with apologies.
The end result of my calculations in my last post should have read like this(with all corrections in bold):
So the % Boron in 1 mole of Borax = 43.24 / 201.22 * 100 = 21.49%
That means that 1/4 teaspoon (=1000mgs) of Borax will contain 21.49/100 X 1000 = 214.9mgs of boron.
And 1/8 teaspoon (500mgs) of Borax will contain 21.49/100 x 500 = 107.45mgs of boron.
