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.
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.
Long Term Use of Borax
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.
