The Borax Conspiracy
Big Pharma’s Latest Ploy to Outlaw a Natural Cure for Arthritis, Osteoporosis and Tooth Decay
Long interesting article about Boron, it’s history, how it works, why big pharma hates it and how they are trying to outlaw it.
It was published in the June/July 2012 issue of Nexus magazine [pdf]
I pasted a small interesting section below as well as attached the Nexus pdf and jpgs of the pdf at at the end. Maybe this info can help someone you know who suffers from arthritis.
It was also published on Walter Last’s website [archive] [archive] (with sourced footnotes). His website has an extensive list of other articles worth looking through.

interesting excerpt below, sound familiar?
The Arthritis Cure of Rex Newnham
In the 1960’s, Rex Newnham, Ph.D., D.O., N.D, developed arthritis. At that time he was a soil and plant scientist in Perth, Western Australia. Conventional drugs did not help, so he looked for the cause into the chemistry of plants. He realized that plants in that area were rather mineral deficient. Knowing that boron aids calcium metabolism in plants he decided to try it. He started taking 30 mg of borax a day, and in three weeks all pain, swelling and stiffness had disappeared.
He told public health and medical school authorities about his discovery, but they were not interested. However, some people with arthritis were delighted as they improved. Others were scared to take something with a poison label on the container and meant to kill cockroaches and ants. Eventually, he had tablets made with a safe and effective quantity of borax.
Within five years and only by word of mouth he sold 10,000 bottles a month. He could no longer cope and asked a drug company to market it. That was a major mistake. They indicated that this would replace more expensive drugs and reduce their profits. It so happened that they had representatives on government health committees and arranged that in 1981, Australia instituted a regulation that declared boron and its compounds to be poisons in any concentration. He was fined $1000 for selling a poison, and this successfully stopped his arthritis cure from spreading in Australia. (2)

I have been taking Boron for a while but just started taking Borax. When “they” say something is bad it is usually good. Just always do the opposite and we should all be managing just fine. :)
Caution is warranted with borax imo. I read about it and I was interested in its potential use for myself, but I wanted to do some investigating before I actually used it. My first potential issue is the fact that it's mined and not purified in any way. What else might be in there? Aluminum for one thing, given its abundance in the earth's crust. Not that this is conclusive, but these are things that I found related to aluminum and borax:
The company that we get most of our borax from actually sells it to pharmaceutical companies, after it's put through a refining process to "ensure low levels of elemental impurities". Is aluminum one of those? I don't know. So I did a search to find out if aluminum is in the soil in the area where borax is mined. I found an old geological survey that was done in a hot spring there and I found that yes, aluminum is there. Is it in a harmful form and is there enough of it? Its soluble form, Al3+, is definitely a problem, but I wasn't sure if this is the form that's found in dry earth and if what's there would be a problem in the digestive tract. Looking at the Royal Society of Chemistry's website, I'm inclined to believe that it's in the form of aluminum silicate. I then found in a comments section on Christopher Exley's substack that he says to avoid sodium aluminum silicate "at all costs". That's enough for me to reject laundry standard borax for ingestion AND laundry use (I wouldn't rely on the thoroughness of your standard washing machine's rinse cycle given the government's water-saving regulations; I saw first hand how ineffectual rinse cycles are. That's why I bought a Speed Queen).
My next question: is there borax that's been refined to remove aluminum? I found Prescribed For Life borax on Amazon that claims to be USP-NF, so I sent an email to the company asking if it's had any aluminum refined out of it. They couldn't be bothered to respond, so I definitely wouldn't use their product, either.
Given the information that I read about borax, it seems to me that boron is really the key to its usefulness, so why risk increasing the aluminum load in my body that I'm in the process of trying to reduce?
