I have taken 6mg of boron in pill format for 3 days and have seen my arthritic pain and joint function improve by the day. I am actually rather shocked at how fast it has helped.
Previously, I have tried supplementing with collagen and ASU, and have had half decent results actually, but the curative effect has been slow to build over the course of a month.
I have aten a ketogenic ( aka low carb ) diet that is low in plant matter for the last 4.5 years, but the arthritis symptoms have been really bad in the last 4. I believe that my diet is deficient and boron and supplementing has helped.
I will follow up in a month, but the results so far are amazing over such a short period of time, and I just wanted to chime in.

Okay, so since you asked - here is what I take every day. Everything I take I learned on Earth Clinic, and if you search the site for the different remedies you will see how others use these things, as there are many ways to take ACV, VCO, etc... Every Morning before I eat I take 2 tablesppons of Apple Cidar Vinegar (ACV) and add 1/2 TEAspoon of baking soda. When it is completely done fizzing I add about 8 ounces of water and then top it off with a splash of Orange juice. (just for flavor, and a little potassium). It is really good tasting to me. Later in the morning I have my ONE cup of coffee for the day. To the coffee I add 2 tablespoons of VCO (virgin coconut oil). Do not ever START at this amount... You have to work your way up to the VCO or you will have a herxheimer effect or stomach issues. I cook with it too, but in general don't use much oil overall. Anyway, back to that one cup of coffee... To the VCO I add 1/4 TEAspoon of turmeric. I was taking more, and it is AWESOME for inflamation, but it started to give me an upest stomach so I have cut back on it. If I could tolerate it, I would use more. You have to keep stirring it as you drink it though, as the oil floats on the top, and the turmeric settles on the bottom. This is an aquired taste. I like it now, but it was pretty gross at first. Then, throughout the day I use one of those 32 ounce sport bottles and to spring water (NON chlorinated, NO flouride - ie NOT tap water) water I add one ounce of Fulvic Acid and one packet of Emergen-C. Then througout the day I will take at least three more of the Emergen-C packets in water. This gives me 4,000mg of vitamin C and does not upset my digestive system. The Fulvic Acid provides trace amounts of a TON of minerals and has no taste at all to me when taken with the vitamin c. Other supplements I take daily are Magnesium Citrate - 400mg, B-100 complex, Boron - 3mg, Vitamin D - 2,000mg (twice a day), and maybe a 3mg melatonin at bedtime to sleep well. I don't take Calcium at all any more, after reading what Ted said about it on here. I try to eat a banana and tomato juice daily for potassium. Having low potassium can really cause problems. I have been doing all of the above for about a year now (except the Fulvic Acid - I started that this Summer, and the Boron which was just about a month or so ago that I started). I am not in perfect health mind you... But I am VERY much improved over how I felt a year ago.
Like I said - everything I have mentioned is here to read about on Earth Clinic, or out on the web. The more I read, the more I want to know. Lol. Sorry for writing a book, and I am sure I left something out - but for joint pain that Boron is STILL amazing me... I may have a day here or there with a bit of stiffness, but not the feeling of having had my hands slammed in a door like I had before. For the most part my hands are pain free! I am a 50 (in a couple of months anyway) year old woman, of average height and weight. My issues (challenges?) are Fibromyalgia, Joint Pain, Arthritis, An Upper Back "Thing", Ovarian Cysts, Fibroids. All of the above for 20 years, and all are improved. I don't spend full days in bed any more like I used to at least once a month.
Scattered thoughts, but if you are going to add any new things to your regime, I would only start one thing at a time, and start slowly.... Read, read, read about how others have gone about it before jumping off the diving board and you will not be sorry. :)
Best to you! Carly

I am shocked that the guest in his lecture cannot answer his question. I guessed it without a medical background. I know because the only physical problems I have are arthritic in nature. I take boron and magnesium however not consistently as I should. I was taking care of my elderly disabled father so I would get sidetracked. I started feeling my normal pains so I prepared my borax and Epsom salt mixture. Within 30 minutes my symptoms disappeared.
My father passed away in October. I now have time to focus on myself. I had him doing the borax and Epsom salt just not enough. He had a lot of health issues that this would have helped him overcome but due to narcissistic siblings, I had to be careful with what I did with my father. He refused to give me SOLE healthcare proxy, I could not help him the way he needed it.
This video is just proof, I was on the right track with him. When I finally had access to his medical records, I found everything was pointing to boron deficiency. We could not address until he had his colon surgery. He fought so hard. I kept him alive for 6 plus years. However, my brothers would ALWAYS cause drama once I get him to surgery. I knew if my father did not stop them this time he Would not make it. He successfully made it through 2 surgeries he would not have made it through prior. He did well. But my brother was HP and insisted he go into Long term care. 40 days later he died because healthcare is not lifecare. This would have bounced him back had he come right home and started back up where we left off.

The thing about knees is that they are so complex it is hard to put one's finger on exactly what ails them! An accurate diagnosis is frequently hard to come by and without one, one tends to have a stab at lots of treatments. I may write more on this subject but for now I would suggest you check out your shoes and specifically those things called inserts. If your arches are not adequately supported (OR one leg shorter than the other) it can throw any or all of the lower regions out of whack including the knee (or knees). It would not hurt to investigate this option eh?
Cheers, Michael
N.B. Also, sometimes, simple targeted exercises can help enormously and even the way you walk could need reviewing.

The stomach ache might be from calcium stones...use chanca piedra to break them up and maybe some bitters for your lining of stomach, kefir for enzymes in daytime and if it's bad use activated charcoal to calm it down at bedtime 1-3 capsules with 16 oz water
Msm for pain ....with vit c or use blue emu pain cream ....
topical castor oil, hexane free, for pain reduction any part of the body. Put old cloth and heat on it to drive the oil into the source of pain.
Anxiety, B complex vitamins, L-taurine to displace MSG, and soy lecithin granules to remove bad fats stored in body tissues and feed the brain for memory. Vitamin C and Lysine for immune help. Magnesium to balance the calcium as it gets redistributed.( or an epson salt bath for calming)
Boron is one of the minerals that your body uses to regulate other minerals/hormones into bones and teeth. It also kills candida and candida does not die without a fight. Low copper can also cause candida to be out of control.
Probably forgetting something, but hope you win and be healthy and youthful again.
Arthritis and Leg Cramps
Approximately three weeks ago I posted about the onset of arthritis which flared up overnight in my right knee. My doctor thought I had fragments of bone floating around, and I was referred to see a consultant. The consultant recommended a course of physiotherapy on the basis that I was quite healthy when the flare-op occurred, but thought I would eventually need a knee replacement.
So I saw the physiotherapist. All she did was to stand me in front of a mirror with arch supports under my feet and asked if that felt any better, because I was flat footed. I was then told to go away and purchase some arch supports from Amazon! Bearing in mind I'm still in a lot of pain, my walking is restricted, cost of taxis to and from the hospital, time involved, and the seemingly inadequate advice I was given (I thought at least I'd be given exercises to do), I came away thoroughly disillusioned. I hope my next visit will be more satisfactory.
However, I did purchase some arch supports, (but not from Amazon! ), and they do help, so I think your recommendation, Michael, is sound one.
Since the flare-up I have been taking borax, D3, magnesium, fish oils, and eating a healthy diet, but currently avoiding tomatoes. I do tend to be carried away by other contributors' recommendations, but when they do not work quickly enough for me move onto something else.
Three or four weeks ago I could barely put one foot in front of the other, and became quite low, but things have improved, and consequently I'm more optimistic.
I did find the following smoothie on the web which incorporates a lot of ingredients good for arthritis, and been having this.
One cup milk, 1/2 banana, two tablespoonsful black strap molasses, one tablespoonful of chia seed, one tablespoonful of gelatine powder, half to one teaspoonful of turmeric powder, one teaspoonful of coconut oil. Blitz together to form smoothie.
The taste and texture leave a bit to be desired, but it's OK, and worth a try.
Best wishes to everyone. Take care.

I hope you mean 2000 International Units... Google how many IU are in a gram of Vitamin D and it will blow your mind ... 40 million!
If you are taking that as pure Vit. D stop immediately ... if it is diluted then maybe OK but 4000 IU to 8000 IU is fine and tolerable.
Arthritis
- Vitamin A: 1 IU is the biological equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol, or of 0.6 mcg beta-carotene
- Vitamin C: 1 IU is 50 mcg L-ascorbic acid
- Vitamin D: 1 IU is the biological equivalent of 0.025 mcg cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol
- Vitamin E: 1 IU is the biological equivalent of about 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol, or 0.9 mg of dl-alpha-tocopherol

Osteoporosis
I am a 61-year-old female, have multiple sclerosis and take meds for Thyroid. I chose NOT to take the prescription I think it was Fosamax - and this would be the FIRST time I would tell my doctor that I did not want to do/take something he recommended to me... I never considered Osteoporosis serious UNTIL I was diagnosed. However, after much reading, I decided I would see what I could find on Earth Clinic.
Skeptical still to use the Borax method I purchased a bottle of Boron Tablets 3mg and it wasn't till JUST NOW that I realized I was taking this incorrectly as I misunderstood... Instead of taking the recommended dosage as listed on the bottle to take once daily 3MG- I was taking 3-5 times daily BECAUSE for some reason I was understanding you should/could have somewhere around 20mg of Boron?? Someone please confirm. Should I be taking the as recommended amount on the bottle of ONLY 3mg daily ??? I have read so much over a period of time I am totally confused. I also was understnding Boron was water soluble and your body would get rid of what is not needed. I have had a few lower leg fractures and really believe I must do something to help with this and Boron was one of the few things I have added to my daily supplements. Thank you !!!
I have to start slower on it again. I went back to foot soaks and increasing the amount I use and then slowly add some to my drinking water as I can tolerate it. I use 20 mule team borax for my boron. Tumeric helps the tooth pain. Put a small amount in the mouth and let it sit and then rinse it out. A baby aspirin also helped the tooth pain. The bone pain was intense and seemed to run the course of an old surgery I had 3o yrs ago. I used some Oscillococcinum to fight that back into tolerable pain levels.

I swear, doctors make me wonder at times. I guess they are all just humans, and some are smarter than others, but sheesh. The shots never work long term - and they are so expensive too. My mom was getting them in her back, and they helped for a day or two. Crazy money, and doctors who have no idea what things *really* cost the consumer.
I've had doctors tell me I have arthritis. One said that the only way to not have it is to not be over 45. Well I AM, and I was not liking the arthritis! I really, REALLY think the Boron has taken care of this. I don't feel like any of my joints are hurting anymore.
I do still have the stupid body aches from the fibromyalgia, but they are under control for the most part. Winter is the "bad" time.... But I have upped the vitamin D this year, so we shall see if that keeps it in check.
On blood pressure -
I read something today while looking up an unrelated issue... But it had to do with blood pressure, so I thought of you. The article said that they did some test where 81% of the people in it lowered their BP meds after a year of eating 3-4 servings of potassium rich foods per day. "Lowering BP meds" isn't very specific, but hey, a glass of V-8 and a banana a day couldn't hurt anyway? :-)
Just another thing to look up and read about.
Glad to hear you are goig to try the ACV - I really think it lowers BP from what I have read. Well - I have posted another book - so easy to do when talking about health related issues! :-)Carly

Last Nov. Just before Thanksgiving, I stepped on a screw and it went into my foot, just under my big toe. I went to the doctor, and they gave me antibiotics. Well to make a long story short my foot got infected and I was on antibiotics on and off until January, they couldn't get rid of the infection, said it was resistent bacteria. I finally didn't go back because my foot was somewhat better, My toe next to my big toe became infected, and I had to go back and was on more antibiotics until April. At that point they were making me feel sick. So when my toe was good enough I just stopped taking anything as I couldn't stomach it anymore. The reason I am bringing this up is my hands started giving me problems in January. I asked the doctor if this could be related to my foot, and they said probably not. Well thats why I thought I would bring this up and maybe you or someone out there would know if too many antibiotics or an infection could have caused this. Thanks for any help Pam

It seems to me like the rapid heartbeat could be from taking too much of any of those things - but I remember reading that boron and magnesium are (antagonists?) or some such thing. I get a "fluttery" racing, skipping every once in a while when I am low on magnesium.
Stopping everything for a couple of days is probably a good idea, and then maybe add one thing in per week, and that way you can nail down what (if any) of the things you are taking are causing it. I believe Ted recommends taking two days off a week for most everything, and it does make sense to give the body a break from everything for a couple of days a week. I think I will start doing that too and see how it goes.
That infection sounds ugly! I have not a clue if it or the antibiotics could have cause the inflamation in your hands, but it is an interesting thought, and I would look into inflamitory reactions from wounds... There should be something on the search engines. I have not had a wound since reading about it, but if I do I plan on using good old iodine on it. It has amazing germ killing properties from what I have read, and I have a bottle on hand if (when)I need it. :)
What kind of antibiotics did they give you? Did they have a (fl) in their name? I think that means they were flouride based... So you might want to read on here about flouride, and what kind of crud THAT can do to a body. Flouride is used in many meds, and is also dumped in a lot of city water supplies. I used to get flouride treatements at the dentist, and I am fairly certain that as poisonous as it is, it is responsible for more than some of my issues. I no longer drink tap water unless it is from someone's well.
So, consider if you are getting enough magnesium, potassium, for the racing heart thing - or google something like "racing heart and vitamin or mineral symptoms" and see if anything strikes a chord? One more thing... Try not to stress over it, or it will be a self fulfilling nightly thing because of the stress! (I know, easier said than done, but just thought I would mention it ;)
Well, well, another book. Lol. I hope you are feeling better by the time you are reading this, Carly

Yes the best form of vitamins is from foods and naturally acquired. But supplemental D3 has dozens of studies that prove it is not-first of all rat poison, and second, is vital in the health of individuals. It is an essential vitamin especially in northern climates during the winter months. Supplementation is vital.
Such things as Warfarin, is a prescription given by doctors for people with clotting issues, and that indeed is used in rodent control as well. Is it toxic to humans? In large doses sure. (Also do not trust the med establishment at all). You must remember that what is toxic to you may be nothing to me. I eat peanuts and love them. You may eat 1 and die. Does that mean they are toxic to humans? Many substances throughout the world are toxic to dogs but not humans. Calciferol and cholecalciferol or activated Vit d are different. Vit D is also toxic to dogs and cats, so does that mean its toxic to humans?
Don't just believe the first search on Google. Dig into NIH publications, Harvard or Berkley science papers to get large population studies and their results before making a blanket statement like d3 is poison!

Can anyone give me advice? I stopped taking the boron about a week ago and burping has almost gone and passing urine much better, so I know it is definitely the boron that is doing it.
I want to restart but not sure what to do.
My fingers and knees feel so much better since I have been taking Boron And I don't believe that better shoes or insoles would have stopped my leg cramps. Appreciate the info though.

Thank you for the information on Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury!
I went to his website, clicked on
https://biswaroop.com/free_e_book/
There are quite a few books available. As I was going through them, I found this one which is very interesting (I've just started reading it).
https://biswaroop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/360-deg-Postural-medicine_eng-ebook_com.pdf
360° Postural Medicine covers many ailments. It was the first time I've seen the list of chemicals used in kidney dialysis (page 32) – yikes!
Dr. Chowdhury is a very generous and caring person and so are you for telling us about him and his books.
Thanks again.

Glad to hear you are doing so well, and it was possibly just overdoing it that gave you a bad day or two. I am wondering now though - you say you are on meds for high BP... Did the knuckle swelling come on at the same time as you started taking the BP medicine? My mom had tremendous leg swelling after starting "Boniva" (not BP medicine, but just an example of what some drugs can do). Anyway, just a thought. I tend to have lower than normal blood pressure. I didn't start taking my BP until after I had been taking the ACV / Baking Soda for a few months though, so I am not sure if that is why. I believe I have always been fairly normal in that area, but have read where people have said the ACV lowers BP - so you might want to look into that and maybe give it a whirl. I wish that the tumeric didnt bother my stomach - lucky you! I really LIKE the taste of it now, and wish I could go for a second cup of coffee with it every day. Lol. Good luck to you, thanks for posting back - and please keep posting with your progress! :-) Carly

The past two nights though, my heart is beating faster than it usually does, so I am not taking the tumeric today or the boron, and am going to see if it changes, since that wasn't happening before. When I was just taking the B vitamins my heartbeat was nice and slow at night. I can usually tell when my bp is up without taking it. Then if I worry it goes up more. Well I will let know what happens, it may not be the tumeric or boron, just something I ate. Pam

Hi, I notice my blood pressure has dropped to 106/74. I am 57 female. I was forgetting to take it twice a day and just starting back into it again. I have it cut right amount of Boron as per videos I watch. I will take my bp at the drug store next in town. But lol, they are never calibrated right. Maybe it will put it up to 120/80 normal than. I also woke up this morning with broke blood vessel in my right eye. Showing reddening patch spot and above the lower lid. I think it's helping my arthritis and joints. Long story short should I be concern it's low and and can't blame my eye on high blood pressure. I don't recall any hard coughs, sneezes for a blood vessel to burst. Can't find info. So wondering if you could give me any advice. Thanks.
